Chapter 1921: Three Requests
Chapter 1921: Three Requests
"His condition is quite complex. The bad news is... even I can’t treat him alone. The good news is... I know how to treat him."
As soon as they heard his assessment, Freliya widened her eyes, while the elf goddess remained silent.
There was a hidden meaning in Anubis’s words.
"What do you want?" The elf goddess asked.
"Before that, I think I should know how it reached this point." Anubis looked at the elf king. "From what I can see, there are so many energies in his body, most likely from the so-called elixirs. A part of them lingers until now, and if it continues like this, it will become a poison that will kill him."
"I know that." The elf goddess nodded in agreement.
"That alone won’t be a problem. Just by doing nothing for a period of time will be enough to cleanse his body, considering his body has quite good regeneration and metabolism even in this state.
"For now, I intend to cleanse him with my power. The problem is in his body and soul. The soul is severely damaged. The body itself looks fine, but the connection between the body and the soul is extremely weak.
"In a way, if it continues to get weakened, the soul won’t be able to remain in his body. At that time, death is certain.
"I will try to repair the connection. It shouldn’t be too hard, but I still can’t be careless about it.
"In a way, his condition is pretty much salvageable. The treatment won’t take too long, but the problem is in his power.
"His power has weakened due to his condition. In addition, his power is somewhat unique. Unlike what I can see from both of you, his power is actually..." Anubis squinted. "...harming his own body. If I heal him right away, his power will create a response.
"So, the best way is to use my power to gradually let him recover. Use it too much, his body will treat my power as a threat. Use it too little, it won’t be enough to fight against his power.
"And why would there be such a chaotic power? I will need to know about that first before finalizing my treatment plan." Anubis looked at the elf goddess.
"That’s..." Freliya bit her lips, but it didn’t change anything. If she said nothing, Anubis might refuse to treat him. Anubis was the only one who could boldly claim that he could heal her brother. There was no way she could let go of this chance.
The elf goddess closed her eyes for a moment, contemplating whether to tell him or not.
"His power was not originally like this. With me as his aunt and her as his sister, he became fixated on gaining power. He thought he was useless, so he was willing to do anything to get that power.
"As a result, he transmuted his own body, not in the normal way. Normally, if you transmute your body, you change your body to match the power you currently have, preparing it to get even more power.
"However, what he did was transmute his body beyond the normal way. It was supposed to be impossible, but he made it possible by enlarging a few points in his body.
"This was a banned technique in this world. This technique allowed the user to release much more powerful strength. Sadly, after they were done using this technique, their bodies would be destroyed.
"By combining this technique and transmutation, he achieved his goal, but it ended up ruining his life."
Freliya gritted her teeth. Her brother was jealous of her and his aunt. Freliya was already a saint, while her aunt was a goddess. He was a mere king, so it was only natural that people compared them a lot.
Even though he was governing his own kingdom, that comparison continued. In the end, he succumbed to that comparison and chose to make a risky choice.
"..." Anubis looked down, contemplating. "Hmm. Do you want me to restore his body to its original form?"
"You can do it?!" Freliya gasped, unable to contain her shock.
"It is not a hard thing to do." Anubis nodded.
The elf goddess sighed. "As much as I want to say yes, I don’t know what answer I should give you. If I make that decision by myself, he will probably become disappointed after knowing that all his efforts are gone.
"At the same time, a part of me really wants him to return to normal. He is quite talented himself, but he’s just too harsh on himself."
"I can fix it right now because his entire system is damaged. If I heal him first, I won’t be able to fix him later. Well, I can still fix him, but I don’t like my patient to injure themselves for something like this. If that’s the case, I’d rather not heal him at all. This is my principle." Anubis narrowed his eyes.
"Suppose I want you to fix him..."
"Of course, I will fix him shortly. It will only take a few months, but with my summoner here, we can fix him in three hours." Anubis explained.
The elf goddess thought for a moment before asking, "In that case, what do you want? What is your goal?"
Surprisingly, the elf goddess wanted to know the answer first. If she carelessly accepted the condition, there was no telling what would happen to her or this world.
Nathan understood that even though the elf goddess wanted to save him, she was also responsible for this world. She had no choice but to weigh the pros and cons.
Anubis simply glanced to the side. He wasn’t the one who would answer that question. It should be Nathan.
"I only want three simple things. First, the information about the Great Void and the battlefields around here, active and non-active. Secondly, I need this technique. Last but not least, in the near future, I’d like you to help us fight against the aliens. I’m sure that your world is also fighting against them."
