Chapter 651 The First Proper Reunion
Chapter 651 The First Proper Reunion
A few hours later, Kisuke sighed in relief as he peered into the transparent cultivation pod. Inside it was a blue liquid that could sustain life and floating in it was Medusa in her previous form, “Looks like it’s a success. But from here on, the next couple of things will just be speculations.”
Waiting for a few more minutes, Kisuke drained the liquid from the pod and caught Medusa, before placing her on a bed and putting a blanket over top of her.
Since it’ll take an hour more for Medusa’s body and soul to stabilize, Kisuke started cleaning up while taking note of her vitals.
After the wait, Medusa slowly opened her eyes and immediately recalled the extreme discomfort she had when the Mana that composed her body started disintegrating. Soon after, she noticed a big change in her body.
The change was so big that her drowsiness instantly disappeared as she hurriedly stood up to look at her arms. Clenching and unclenching her fist, Medusa finally figured out what had happened, “F-flesh and blood!?”
“Yep~ But for now, you should wear some clothes. It’s really distracting,” from the side, Kisuke’s frivolous voice sounded.
Medusa looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and saw him handing over a robe. She looked down and saw her mature body without a single covering. Although she’d already prepared herself, she still couldn’t help getting embarrassed.
With a blushing face, Medusa grabbed the blanket with her right hand and the robe Kisuke offered with her left hand, “T-thank you.”
Kisuke waited for her to get dressed before adding, “After that, please do control your Magic Power… Your eyes have become extremely potent in your current state. It’s getting harder to move.”
Since she still wasn’t used to her new body, she thought that the Mana being consumed was still for her to maintain her body, “Why didn’t you say that earlier!” Medusa retorted as she tried to control her beautiful gem-like purple eyes.
However, due to her excessively powerful eyes, Medusa failed to even cut off the flow of Magic Power, “Please wait. I’m going to cast my ‘Breaker Gorgon’. I can’t control it now that I have my real eyes.”
“No need. I just asked you to control it to see if you could at least mitigate its effects,” Kisuke then took out a pair of glasses and handed it over to Medusa, “These are your pair of glasses but I enhanced its sealing effect to adjust with your eyes.”
Medusa received the glasses and immediately put them on. In an instant, her glowing eyes dimmed and the effects of her petrification disappeared, “Thank you… But how were you able to reconstruct my body? As far as I know, nothing was left of my original body. Did you construct this from nothing?”
“Of course not. That would only create unnecessary problems for you. I got lucky and got a hold of your eye which was apparently being traded. In addition to that, Athena gave me a few drops of your blood and some extracted Divine Powers that she intended to use for research. After all, your existence is technically a miracle,” replied Kisuke.
“With just that? You really are amazing… With your ability, those Gods would be swarming at you with all sorts of requests.”
“Too bad for them, I don’t accept any requests and only do things out of my own self interest and necessity. But seriously, though, your eyes are much more amazing than I had initially thought. I had assumed that the most complicated thing I’d handle for a long time was Souls and Dragons but I never thought that your eyes would give me a headache.”
Medusa put her hand on her face and asked, “Are they really that special?”
“They are. Instead of operating on logical Magic, they actually use a concept as a law changer. In other words, your petrification is a unique ability that projects its own idea ‘petrification’ to the real world that can’t be easily replicated through Magic. Due to that uniqueness, there’s actually no other way to block it aside from using greater energy to resist it. At least 3 times of what you’re using at full power.”
“And finally, I’m sure as hell that I wouldn’t be able to reconstruct your eyes if I was not able to get hold of the original… Even if I had your full body intact and analyzed how your eyes work with your Mana manifested body.”
If those from the Sereitei heard of this, especially Mayuri, they would be shocked at his claims. Of course, Medusa didn’t know of his reputation and just accepted his words as her eyes were a bit more special than the rest.
Medusa looked down at her body again and said, “…Couldn’t you make me smaller?”
“I could but thanks to the unexpected complexity of the reconstruction, I could only reconstruct your body as the last form it took just to be safe. Since you also have Ophis’s power within your Divine Core, I had to add a bit of her blood into your body to properly contain it, adding to the complexity.”
Although Medusa was extremely grateful for what Kisuke had done for her, the fact that her ‘ideal’ form was lost in the process, disappointed her.
Kisuke guessed what she’s thinking and added with a smile, “Don’t get too down. Since you have Ophis’s power and blood within you, it also means you also have some if not very limited access to her abilities, especially her ability to take any form. In your case, the most you can do with sufficient practice is change the apparent ‘age’ of your body.”
Medusa’s eyes gleamed in excitement, “I’ll do my hardest!”
“But before that, you’ll have to deal with what’s to come first… any moment now.”
Medusa tilted her in confusion at Kisuke’s mysterious words, “What’s going to hap…pen?… ?!?”
All of a sudden, the Divine Power from her Divine Core burst out, covering the entire room, “What’s happening!?” Medusa held her chest as she alarmingly asked Kisuke.
But the latter just smiled and said, “It wasn’t just your blood and Divine Power that I got from Athena, but also two other extracted Divine Powers.”
“W-what?” Before Medusa could fully understand what he meant, however, she suddenly heard a yawn in her head.
This yawn caused Medusa to freeze in place as her distant memory resurfaced and recalled the owner of that voice, “…S-Stheno…-neesama?” She muttered the name of her older sister.
From the depths of her consciousness, the voice replied with a touch of lethargicness, “Hmmm? Medusa?”
Hearing that, tears started falling from Medusa’s eyes as she yelled in extreme delight, “Stheno-neesama!!!”
At that point, another voice resounded, “Hmmmph~! *yawn*. What is it? So noisy.”
Although the second voice was almost the same as the first one, Medusa instantly identified it, “Euryale-neesama!!!”
“Geez… So noisy. Do you really have to shout every time? My ears are ringing,” Stheno complained while making noises as if she’s stretching.
“…I’m still tired so I’m going back to sleep. Wake me up when the breakfast is ready,” the carefree Euryale, on the other hand, wanted to go back to blissful rest.
“This isn’t the time to be joking around, Euryale-neesama!!!” Medusa raised her voice even further.
While all of this was happening, Kisuke quietly exited the room to give them some time alone. The first proper reunion of the sisters after several eons, he doesn’t want to disturb it.
