âYouâre my ally. Why would I have to deceive you? Hurry up. If youâre disobedient, Iâll activate the
contractâs restriction. When the time comes, Iâll take off your pants and spank your a*s in front of Ynes
Larkin. Would you believe it?â
In an instant, Alexâs face darkened. Should he weep or bawl for running into such a mistress?
Swoosh!
Ymirâs Divine Bone hovered toward him slowly. As he looked at it up-close, he could see more clearly
the subtle cracks on the bone. It was from these cracks that the golden light was released. When the
light shone on him, he unexpectedly felt a slight tingling sensation in his soul.
âAlright, Iâll give it a try then!â
âMystic Maiden, if you deceive me again this time, youâll become my little sister!â
Alex then forced out a drop of his blood essence and dripped it on Ymirâs Divine Bone. That blood was
rapidly absorbed by the cracks on it and disappeared. But nothing happened.
After waiting for a full minute, nothing happened either.
âUh, itâs probably because the blood essence is not enough. You should drip some more,â said Mystic
Maiden. When she saw Alex hesitating and was reluctant to give it another go, she added, âThis is,
after all, the divine bone of the human ancestor. If youâre a Heavenly King, a drop of blood essence will
be enough for sure. But you arenât. Your level is too low, so you must drip more blood essence. Hurry
up. I wonât harm you!â
Alex gritted his teeth and continued forcing out his blood essence.
One drop, two dropsâ¦
Ten drops, twenty dropsâ¦
Alex had now gone pale. This was his blood essence but not the water essence, so he did not. have
much.
Mystic Maiden felt a little distressed. If there was still no reaction, he could only stop trying.
But at that moment, a whim struck Alex. After the twenty-fourth drop of blood essence was absorbed by
the divine bone, a mysterious fluctuation of thoughts had an interactive reaction with his divine
consciousness. The golden light in the divine bone glowed in an overwhelming fashion, as though
coming to life and breathed and pulsated. Then, it swished into Alexâs body and attached itself to its
lumbar spine.
It turned out to be⦠A lumbar vertebra?
Alex was a little surprised, but the next second, he felt immense pain.
As if his lumbar spine had been abruptly severed, that piece of divine merged with his original lumbar
spine. Through internal vision, he saw countless ciphers on the divine bone that emitted dazzling
golden light.
âThese are not ancient runes. What kind are they?â
Alex discovered that he did not know any of these tadpole-like nines and symbols. Moreover, they
looked like living creatures, constantly swimming and moving around with rhythm. Immediately
afterward, both these runes and golden light flowed wildly along the meridians all over his body, and
they even spread out of his body.
âAh! What⦠Whatâs wrong with him?!â Ynes exclaimed.
She saw Alexâs trembling and growling from time to time as if he was in great pain. But at this moment,
the golden light flowed out of Alexâs body and enveloped his entire body within it.
At first, his body was covered in golden light. But soon, the golden light slowly solidified, making the
current Alex look like a huge golden egg, or rather, a huge golden cocoon. However, the others did not
see the tadpole-like ciphers. It seemed that only Alex could see them.
The astonished Ynes reached out to touch it.
As a result, lightning exploded with a boom, blasting her more than ten meters away.
