Chapter 4109 With Hermons
After getting used to breathing through his mouth, Shad looked around. The pale red liquid covering the ground seemed endless, but the thick white fog severely obstructed Shad's vision.
He only saw that there seemed to be something deeper in this flat space, and when Shad walked through the white mist on the liquid beneath his feet in silence, he saw a simple stone bed placed in front of him.
It is described as a stone bed, but it is surrounded by partitions, so it also resembles a coffin or a small stone boat.
"The bed in the delivery room is also a coffin, and also a boat."
The outsider felt he vaguely understood something, and the bed was soaked to a fifth of its height by blood. Although it looked simple in design, there were no patterns or decorations on its inner or outer surfaces.
And when Shad bent down and placed his hand on the surface of the stone, "she" reminded him again:
[Outsider, enter and close your eyes, and you will emerge from the delivery room.]
There seemed to be profound theological and philosophical implications in this, Xia De pondered.
Just then, the viscous sound of shoes stepping on liquid came from ahead. Shad looked up and saw Helmons the Bloodthirsty One walking straight towards them through the white mist.
Before entering this place, the man's body had completely dissolved, and even his soul was nearly withered away. But now he reappeared, dressed in formal trousers and leather shoes, but with his upper body exposed.
Hermons' body was a genuine physical entity. Although the space left behind by the ancient gods would suppress perception, Shad could sense that he had truly recovered.
"We've been searching for the door to the birthing room for over two years now. During this time, we've made countless sacrifices and put in so much effort, and we've only just scratched the surface of the [Creation Birthroom]'s characteristics."
Hermons arrived at the other end of the coffin, and Shad noticed that he didn't actually open his mouth to speak; the sound came directly into the space.
"We have also explored what the [Creation Chamber] is. It certainly does not belong to the material world, nor is it any other plane or even subspace that has been recorded in history as being outside the material world."
This place is more like part of the world order, a place where all life existed before its birth.
Shade shook his head:
"As far as I know, such a place does not exist in the mysticism."
"But it exists in theology; the Creator school has recorded it. If life is a train that never stops moving forward, then this place can perhaps be called the platform of the starting station."
Hermons looked at Shad:
"All the secrets of life and creation are contained in the place where we are now. The regeneration of severed limbs, the evolution of bloodlines, the shaping of flesh, the decay of flesh and blood, and the mutation of races—all of these can be found here."
I was indeed defeated by your siege, and utterly dead. Yet now I stand before you unharmed, because I know the secret of the delivery room. I have been reborn; I am immortal.
Shade shook his head:
"I do not believe."
He offered no reason; he simply didn't believe that any mortal in this world was immortal. Besides, even if Hermons had indeed gained a degree of immortality and the ability to regenerate by uncovering the secrets of this place, Shad could easily find an opportunity to re-enter through the door of the "House of the False Man" and destroy Hermons's advantage.
Hermons appeared calm, showing none of the manic energy he displayed in public.
"The principle behind my immortality is actually quite simple. I permanently merged my essence, a part of myself, with the 'Spark,' and I left that Spark in the delivery room."
"Even in the outside world, I can still draw upon the power of the AllSpark. Once I die, even if my soul perishes, my life and soul will, relying on the power of the AllSpark and the birthing room, sprout and be reborn anew within the birthing room, because my origins are here."
"So, the external source of fire isn't the main body either? That sounds interesting, but why are you telling me this?"
Shad asked, and Hermons replied:
"There is no fundamental conflict between us. You want to save the world, and I can help you save the world. When I was first reborn from here, the moment I opened my eyes, I understood that I was a candidate for the chosen ones of creation. Being reborn into this world allows one to understand many things."
"Summoner, you have once again proven your power to me. You can support other candidates, or you can support me. If you are dissatisfied with the Blood Spirit School's methods, I can even promise to make changes."
Shad winked:
"Maybe you're crazy, but I'm not. I'd rather create an empty spot for the chosen one than support you."
From the fight just now, Xia De could tell that this person's level of madness was probably the same as the "Light Chaser" from the [Light Chaser Training Society] in Moon Bay. Xia De would not cooperate with a madman.
Hermons calmly shook his head:
"Then it's a real shame that you've missed out on one of the most promising candidates in this battle of chosen ones. I know you're strong, Summoner, and the Crimson Moon Technique you just used was indeed a severe counter to my power."
I had already considered what other ways there might be to fight you, and the answer was to seek help from ancient mythology.
Shad was quite looking forward to it, as the other party had brought in that demon whose whereabouts were still unknown as an accomplice, but unfortunately Shad guessed wrong.
"Many years ago, when we were searching for the [Birthplace of Creation] in the New World, we also discovered other very interesting clues, which were related to the 'First Children', the oldest race and creation created by the Creator, and the source of the 'Golden Bloodline' pursued by the Blood Spirit School."
He slashed his palm in front of Xia De, and what flowed from his palm was actually silver blood with a golden sheen.
"We found what appears to be some of the body tissue of the 'First Child,' but we didn't know how to use it. Later, we found the delivery room, received help from the fortune teller on Green Lake Island, and even obtained some research data from the [Truth Society]."
After the initial verification by the 'Light Chaser' you killed, I finally confirmed that fusing those body tissues was the only feasible path for me to surpass the thirteenth ring.
The strange blood from his palm dripped into the blood-soaked ground beneath their feet, creating ripples.
"The body I used in the outside world didn't have this characteristic before. I finally reached this point after this rebirth. You are the first person to see this body."
"But in my opinion, your current power is still far inferior to that of Laplace Howard and the Light Chaser."
As Shad spoke frankly, the weeping-blood man shook his head again:
"Life needs to evolve, and what you see of me at this moment is only in the initial stage."
He reached his hand to the right and drew a longsword from thin air that seemed to be forged from flowing mercury. Xia De could tell that the sword was made of "active metal".
Then Shad drew his crimson moonsword from the void, and the two stared at each other in silence before their swords clashed.
Ripples spread across the blood-soaked water as two pairs of feet shifted and moved, the clanging of longswords echoing repeatedly in the silence.
Neither of them used any special techniques; it was simply a contest of physical prowess. Their increasingly rapid sword dances resembled two tornadoes. When speed and power reached their limits, silver and red sword lights appeared simultaneously in different locations within the same second.
Click!
Both longswords snapped in two, and the two men, now stripped of their hilts, retreated to their original positions, standing before and behind the stone bed that resembled a coffin. Hermons's bare upper body was covered in sword wounds, but none of them were fatal.
Shad raised his hand to touch his neck, feeling the wound where his flesh had been cut open.
He couldn't remember the last time someone had competed with him in a physical contest and lost.
"Indeed very strong."
Shad admitted, while Hermons inquired probingly:
"If I paid such a high price and still couldn't beat you, that would be strange. But I'm very curious, what is your true nature? There are no signs of human modification on your body, yet you can exhibit such physical abilities; it's impossible for a human to reach this level."
If my modification technology is based on humanity, attempting to trace back to mythology and create a completely new human race, then what about you? Summoner of the Gods, in the genealogy of life in the material world, what race are you?
Shad shook his head, took a few breaths, and as the surrounding red light entered his body, the wound on his neck was completely healed.
Seeing that Shad did not intend to answer, Hermons did not ask any further questions.
"I would like to invite you to stay as a guest for a while. Would you be interested in exploring the secrets of flesh creation and bloodline evolution with me in the Creator's birthing room?"
"Of course I'm not interested."
"Alright, this time, let's see how you plan to escape."
The blood beneath his feet suddenly surged upwards, reaching Xia De's waist in just a second. The stone coffin was completely submerged, and when Xia De tried to touch it from beneath the blood, he found it had vanished entirely.
He tried to fly upwards to avoid being submerged again, but it felt as if countless hands were pulling at his body and soul from below the blood, so Shad once again entered the pale red liquid.
This time, however, the feeling of being in the liquid was not as comfortable as before. Within the liquid, Hermons moved more nimbly than a fish towards Shad, and then launched an attack.
This is the home ground of the "Bloodthirsty Ones." Shad even felt that the other party could influence the flow of the surrounding liquid to some extent. Hermons probably had obtained high-level access here, which made Shad curious about how he did it.
