Chapter 2542: Elysian Moon Changing
The two beautiful women looked like flowers made of jade, and Han Sen couldnt turn his back on either of them. He wasnt their enemy, so he couldnt simply choose which one should die.
But when he thought about the arrogant, perfectionist, blood-thirsty being they combined to become, he knew that he had to do something. It wasnt just the other races of the universe that would fall under their wratheventually, they would go after humans as well.
What should we do? Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng and then at Elysian Moon. They looked extremely similar to each other. Their presences, however, were different.
Gu Qingcheng was mysterious, but she didnt distance herself from everyone. Elysian Moon was as cold as ice, and looking at her gave people the feeling that they were being shut out. Han Sen could tell the two apart, though, and he would never mistake one for another.
When they both combined and became one, their presence was completely different. The woman they made felt like a fairy. She was a being that didnt care about anything in the world. That coldness was chilling to see.
Which of us do you choose to kill? Elysian Moon asked when Han Sen remained silent.
Im not killing anyone. To be honest, even if I agreed to kill you, I dont think thats something I could make myself do. Han Sen shook his head.
Then would you prefer to watch us fight each other to death or die of old age? Elysian Moon asked emotionlessly.
That doesnt matter. I think there might be a road out of this mess. It is worth a try, at least, Han Sen said hesitantly.
What road do you mean? Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng looked up with interest.
After a moment of thought, Han Sen said, The aging problem is being caused by the flaws in your genes. If you can fix these flaws, then there is no reason for you to fight to your doom.
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. If things were that simple, we wouldnt have been fighting in the first place. My genes are included in Elysian Moons spirit stone. And Elysian Moons genes contain the sword fairy I created. We both have a part of each other, and because of that, parts of ourselves are missing. We cant use the genes of other creatures to fix problems that are inherent in our own.
I know. Han Sen nodded, sighed, and said, My method isnt for you to combine with the genes of another creature. My method can fix your genes as they are.
What do you mean? If we could fix our genes, we wouldnt be stuck in this situation, Elysian Moon said, tilting her head to the side.
Youre both missing a part of yourselves, and the parts youre missing are the parts you gave to each other. That means you arent complete. But, you both still contain the missing components of each other. All you need to do is fill in the gaps. I can try to activate both of your gene potentials, which might allow your incomplete genes to repair themselves. Im not sure if it will work, but it is something we should at least try. The method Han Sen was proposing would require the power of the Blood-Pulse Sutras area. He would push their self-cogwheels in an attempt to force their genes to evolve.
The Blood-Pulse Sutras area power was little more than a nudge. Whether or not it worked would be determined by the possibilities harbored by the genes that required fixing. Therefore, Han Sen couldnt promise that he would succeed. It was a chance for them, though. It was something they had to try before they resorted to the more sordid solutions.
If it worked, they could both live.
You can fix the flaws of our genes? Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moons beautiful eyes were staring at Han Sen.
I cant promise you it will work, but there is no harm in trying, Han Sen said.
Try it, then, Elysian Moon said immediately.
Well test it on you first. Come over here, Han Sen said, looking at Elysian Moon.
Is there a risk to this process? Gu Qingcheng asked.
There is no risk. While there is a chance that it wont succeed, failure shouldnt result in any harm to your bodies, Han Sen said.
Elysian Moon walked over to Han Sen. Her voice was completely level as she said, A long time ago, you were rather unfond of me, werent you? It is good that Im in danger, is it not? If I am dead, then you can be free.
Elysian Moon was saying this to Gu Qingcheng, not Han Sen.
Gu Qingcheng moved her lips, but no words were spoken.
Dont worry, only good things can happen to you. Otherwise, I wouldnt want to try this. Han Sen understood what the two women wanted. He smiled at Elysian Moon.
Stop talking crap. Lets get on with it. Even when I was a spirit, I was never afraid of death, Elysian Moon said, meeting Han Sens eyes.
Han Sen smiled, lifted his right hand, and pressed his fingers to Elysian Moons forehead. Then, he started to cast the Blood-Pulse Sutra. He made his self-cogwheel connect with Elysian Moons self-cogwheel. Then, he started to spin them.
Dont try to resist my power. Try to accept it and move with it. A blood godlight formed on Han Sens hands, and the light seeped into and melded with Elysian Moons body.
When the blood light entered her, Elysian Moons self-gene power was activated. The dusty self-cogwheel started to spin a little.
Elysian Moons self-cogwheel was blue. It had old-fashioned symbols inscribed upon it. Han Sen didnt know what they meant, but he knew that it was the source of Elysian Moons power.
When Elysian Moons self-cogwheel began to accelerate, the old-fashioned symbols shone brightly. They were like a sun. The light blurred as the self-cogwheels spun.
Blue lights rose from the cogwheel, dyeing Elysian Moons flesh and cells a weird shade of blue. The woman looked like a blue crystal statue.
The color was rather ghostly, and Elysian Moon no longer looked like a person. She was like some sort of phantom, or the crystal statue of a witch. And before long, the crystal started to melt.
No, rather than melting, it was like dirt was being washed off of the crystal statue, layer by layer. It was like a flower shedding its wilted petals.
Gu Qingcheng watched Elysian Moon and Han Sen. Her face was always impassive, but right now, she looked nervous.
The crystalline Elysian Moons blue light began to fade. The blue light dissolved into dust, and Elysian Moons body changed as the light peeled away. She was starting to become someone different from who she was before.
Han Sen was so happy. Elysian Moons genes were starting to change. That meant his Blood-Pulse Sutra was working. Even if he was unable to fix them entirely, this process was still going to benefit Elysian Moons body.
But Elysian Moon wasnt like Lando, who was a top half-deified. Rather than leveling her up, Han Sens power simply improved her genes. Her talent and powers were increasing.
Buzz!
A strange sound came from Elysian Moons body, like a sword was being unsheathed. A scary swordmind blossomed from her, and the ghostly air shifted around her. The weird blue light faded further.
Describing Elysian Moon was difficult, because she now looked like a ghost woman from hell. Right now, Elysian Moon looked like a cold fairy in the moonlight. She seemed distant, but not in a way that would frighten people.
