Chapter 305: Jackpot While Almost Dead

Some distance away from the enormous black-and-red cocoon, Damian’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

Pain immediately tore through his entire body, and he cursed aloud. "Fuck!"

He coughed violently before forcing himself upright. "Goddammit... my whole fucking body hurts."

Damian quickly checked himself over. Although his body was extremely weak, he was still alive.

He let out a long breath. "Thankfully, Cassandra forced herself not to absorb all of me."

Otherwise, he really would have died this time.

Damian then lay back down. He barely had any energy left after being practically sucked dry by Cassandra.

There was only one reason he had been willing to give her his own life force in the first place: his system.

Previously, even his own semen had qualified as a "gift" under the system’s rules, so technically...

Damian quickly grinned as he stared up at the sky. "System, show me what I got from gifting her this time. Quickly... I’m almost dead here."

Almost immediately, familiar notifications appeared.

Damian stared blankly at the system because he never expected the reward to be this great.

Cassandra’s multiplier had unexpectedly risen to 400x, meaning that even though her favorability toward him was already at the maximum level, her multiplier had somehow doubled.

Not only that, but what he had done this time was truly insane, nearly getting himself killed in the process. But so what? In return, he had obtained an incredibly rare, extreme multiplier.

Damian simply stared at the dazzling list of rewards before him. There was only one word that could describe what he was feeling. "JACKPOT!"

He wanted to laugh out loud in celebration, but his body was currently in such terrible condition that even laughing was too much for him.

Just then, another notification appeared.

---

[Would Host Like to Fuse Rewards?]

---

Damian stared at it and immediately shouted, "JUST FUCKING FUSE IT ALREADY! I’M ABOUT TO FUCKING DIE HERE!"

He coughed violently before continuing to yell, "IF I DON’T DO IT NOW, I’M GOING TO DIE SOON, SO JUST DO IT!"

---

[Reward Fusion Initiated]

---

The moment the system notification disappeared, Damian immediately remembered one very important thing.

Reward fusion fucking hurt a lot. And this time, because the rewards were far greater than usual, Damian frowned. "Wait! Do it one..."

BOOOOOOM!

An unimaginable force exploded from deep within his body, cutting him off mid-sentence. "FUUUUUCK!"

Damian’s back arched violently as every bone, muscle, meridian, and drop of blood seemed to be torn apart at the same time.

His already damaged body had barely survived Cassandra’s forbidden art. Now the system was rebuilding the entire fucking thing... again.

His Spiritual Root transformed first, followed by his physique, and finally, his bloodline.

His new Chaos Dragon King Bloodline roared throughout his body as if a sleeping beast had suddenly awakened.

ROOOOAR!

Golden-black scales briefly appeared across Damian’s skin before disappearing again.

His bones cracked repeatedly as both his meridians and dantian expanded, enlarging to ten times their original size.

His soul trembled violently as its foundation expanded far beyond its previous limits.

Every cultivation realm he had passed through seemed to collapse and rebuild itself from the beginning.

But although each realm collapsed, none of it was discarded. Instead, everything was thrown back into the mix and used to rebuild the realm from the ground up.

Then it happened again... and again... and again until ten times in total.

By the end, Damian’s realm had been perfected through the repeated stacking, collapsing, and reforging of ten equally perfect realms.

Each one was broken apart, fused into the next, and reshaped toward an even greater state of perfection.

Damian could barely scream anymore. Before long, even his consciousness began to fade.

At this point, he no longer cared what happened to his body, his cultivation, or even whether he survived.

He only wanted one thing, which was the pain to stop, and before long he fainted.

---

An hour had passed, and soon Damian’s eyes slowly opened. For several seconds, he simply lay there, staring blankly at the ruined sky above him.

The fusion had already finished.

Because the system itself had handled the entire process, something that should have taken months or even years of cultivation had been completed within only an hour.

Damian glanced toward the enormous black-red cocoon in the distance.

Cassandra still hadn’t completed her rebirth, while he had already reached a perfectly stable state.

Damian then stood up, not even bothering to properly examine his body. With his current strength, he could already perceive exactly what had changed.

He remained silent for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter. "As expected! This is how you fucking use a system properly!"

Damian then glanced toward Cassandra’s cocoon again before a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

He walked over to a nearby broken wall, picked up a flat stone, and used his finger to carve several words into it.

After finishing, he placed the stone somewhere Cassandra would easily notice once she awakened.

Damian looked at his message one last time and then grinned. "Good enough."

Without waiting for Cassandra’s rebirth to finish, Damian turned away and said only two words. "See you."

He then left Cassandra to finish her rebirth on her own while he went to meet the members of his harem.

---

Far from the festival grounds, Cynthia and the others suddenly felt an overwhelming sinister aura erupt into the sky.

Even from this distance, the pressure made their expressions change.

Linsey stared toward the crimson-black light. "Cynthia..."

Her usual playful expression disappeared. "Master... he’ll be safe, right?"

Cynthia remained silent for a moment before nodding firmly. "Of course."

Linsey looked toward her.

Cynthia continued, "Just believe in Master. He wouldn’t throw himself in there without a reason."

Helena folded her arms, though the tension in her posture betrayed her worry.

Evelyn simply watched the distant aura in silence.

Esmeralda also frowned.

Yet strangely, Damian wasn’t the only thing occupying her thoughts anymore.

Her gaze slowly shifted toward Cynthia.

The invitation she had received earlier suddenly returned to her mind.

After everything she had witnessed today, the women, Cassandra and Damian, willingly risked himself...

Esmeralda’s expression became complicated.

Perhaps she needed to reconsider Cynthia’s offer far more seriously than before.
