Chapter 1481: Divine Heart
Chapter 1481: Divine Heart
A month ago.
“What? Are you insane?” Rakusha couldn’t believe what she had just heard from her summoner, Luna.
Luna shook her head. “No. I’m making this because I’m trying to be rational. If the opponent is so strong, I need to be even stronger. I might not be his match, but I want to close the gap as much as possible.”
“Still, divine body…”
“I know what I’m asking for is hard for you to comprehend, but please listen to me first. I’m not going to create my divine body like this. I know that I have two rules, but I still need another two before even creating my divine body.”
“That’s right. If you prematurely form your divine body, it will make you weaker than any divine being.”
“That’s why I am thinking about forging a divine body. I’m a blacksmith. So, can I use my skill to forge an artificial divine body?”
“!!!” When Rakusha heard that question, her heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand.
She knew Luna was capable, but since when did Luna grow to this level?
Ever since meeting Nathan, Luna had changed. That was what she thought.
But if Luna was thinking about this possibility, it didn’t mean she was completely clueless. “You have an idea?”
“Yes. I’m thinking about forging a pseudo divine body. You mentioned earlier that a divine body will form once you integrate the power of rules into everything in your body, whether it’s your skin, your senses, or even your organs…”
“So, you want to just forge a part of it?”
“Yes. Do you think it’s possible?” Luna asked.
Rakusha never thought Luna would be this bold, even though she had been accompanying her for almost two decades.
“There might be a method…”
“!!!” Luna widened her eyes in surprise. “Really?”
“Yes.” Rakusha raised one finger. “It’s going to be hard for both of us, but it’s not impossible.”
“What do we have to do?”
“We have to create an artificial divine heart. In other words, your second heart.”
“Second heart?”
“Yes. The concept is pretty simple. There will be a second heart for you. This heart will act as a power supply, but if you use your rules to artificially create it, it will have a certain divinity, which will give you a trace of a divine body.
“With your skills as a blacksmith, I think you can make it. However, to make it, the plan I can think of is rather complicated.”
Luna’s expression turned serious. “Tell me about it.”
“First, we will create that artificial heart. Since your heart is used to store the ena, this heart will act the same, meaning this heart will be used by the same mineral your dear husband came up with. If possible, you need the highest purity ore and achieve at least 95% purity.”
“I will do it even if I have to go broke. Right now, my skill can give an absorption rate of 81% on average, but if I improve my skill a bit more and change the materials to the highest grade, creating a small heart should be possible.”
“Great.” Rakusha nodded. “Then the next step will be linking it to you.”
“How?”
“Do you forget that I am your familiar?”
“Hmm? You’re talking about crystal fusion?!”
“Yes. Let me have that heart. By using our link, we will create a fusion that will have me act as the second heart. In other words, we need to change our crystal fusion form.”
“Still, even if we change it, how are we meant to connect them? I mean, changing is possible, but will the summoning link be able to withstand the power output from this?”
“No. At least, it won’t be able to withstand it in the current condition. However, don’t you have your husband?”
“Ah!” Luna finally figured out what Rakusha wanted. “Lifebound contract!”
“That’s right. This continent’s summoning link is weak, but if we add the lifebound contract, the method from another continent, we can strengthen the summoning link. This should be enough to withstand the power coming from the second heart.
“But this also means you won’t be able to fuse with other familiars anymore. Are you prepared to lose that?”
Luna thought for a moment before saying, “But it’s not like the lifebound contract is all about disadvantages, right? There are benefits.”
Rakusha smiled. “Indeed. There are a few benefits as well. First of all, you will be able to wield my power at a higher value. In addition, this second heart… it might end up something that will continue to exist in you.”
“What do you mean?” Luna narrowed her eyes.
“Right now, we can call it this ’Divine Heart.’ This divine heart will act as your second power supply without becoming a part of your divine body.
“So, this will be an outside heart that is linked directly to you. Even after you form your true divine body, this divine heart will still give you the power. And if you continue to upgrade it as you progress with better material, it will be able to match the energy that you get from the real divine body.
“In other words, you might become a divine being with two hearts. Do you know what it means to have two hearts?”
“I won’t die if I lose one heart. In addition, the power I can manifest will also be doubled.”
“That’s right.” Rakusha raised two fingers. “We will preserve and strengthen the divine heart with magic circles. Then, we will form the lifebound contract. This is still an untested method. Even though the theory is somewhat reasonable, there is no saying what will happen to us.
“Even knowing that, are you sure you still want to do it?”
Luna clenched her hands. “I do. This is necessary for me as well. Right now, the Godfather is the most dangerous threat in our current condition, but in the future, there’s no telling what kind of being we will have to fight.”
Rakusha nodded in agreement. “Alright. Let’s make it. The divine heart.”
