Chapter 535 26: The Eve (Part 2)

Retracting his gaze from the sky, Gu Mo continued to walk forward.With only a few days left, he needed to continue accumulating professional experience, aiming to reach the standard with his true attributes. The goal was to ensure that when he unlocked the immortality's advancement, both his spirit and flesh would undergo an evolution, at least akin to how Kikyo strengthened the Celestial Maiden Body.

That's why he returned to demand the Holy Grail from Gilgamesh, which was a planned step from the start. After serious consideration, he believed he had a great chance to obtain it—if not, he could plot for another Holy Grail.

It was also due to the existence of the Holy Grail that he wished to emulate Emperor Shi's approach; otherwise, he wouldn't meet the conditions to achieve it.

Even if he gathered the needed living sample data, they were merely data and not material for Bloodline Enhancement, and advancing to the Immortal Realm would not provide a chance for Bloodline Enhancement, only yielding certain feedback and benefits to the body in achieving Immortal Ascension.

The reason Emperor Shi was able to do so was that he had already completed a mechanized Holy Body, a true emperor's commanding form that ruled over the earth. The satellite orbital Great Wall connected with it could also be seen as part of his body, stretching 131,424 miles in space…

This was already the pinnacle of Electronic Immortal Technique crystallization, allowing Emperor Shi to rapidly cultivate his own True Body through advanced biological culture chambers within his mechanized Holy Body after collecting sufficient data.

Gu Mo did not have these conditions, so he could only use the power of the Holy Grail.

......

Holding a seemingly untroubled mindset and bright eyes, Gu Mo returned to the "Chaldean Embassy" in Uruk, which was already quiet inside.

Possibly because it was getting late, today was a day of rushing journeys to get back to this fortress city. Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were soon tired, naturally going to rest. Ishtar probably also returned to her Divine Hall, naturally not staying here.

In the spacious yet simple hall resembling a palace, a square table inappropriate for this time was placed, seemingly crafted by an unknown maker. A Witch and Fox Elf sat facing each other.

The atmosphere seemed a bit subtle…

Gu Mo blinked his eyes; though it seemed quiet, the Witch lowered her long eyelashes, and the fox-eared girl remained silent. It looked like they were purely silent without speaking, but the air between them seemed stiff.

He quickly scanned the surroundings; Hiri was indeed absent, probably finding an excuse to rest. How should one put it, perhaps the Demon Hunter Girl became increasingly clever in facing such situations, not wanting to get caught in this strange vortex…

Looking at the Witch and Fox Elf sitting opposite each other, Gu Mo felt somewhat guilty.

However, he feigned nonchalance on the surface, walked over, and sat down beside them, without a single pause in his actions.

There shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps Miss Tamamo no Mae would take the opportunity to provoke, but Kikyo probably wouldn't respond, so nothing would escalate. At least he couldn't imagine that scenario… and if the opposing side ignored her, resulting in a passive situation, then Miss Tamamo no Mae could only hit blindly.

Right now, it's probably like Kikyo remaining quietly as usual while the fox-eared girl sulks on her own.

"Master, you're back!!" When Gu Mo was seen, Miss Tamamo no Mae's ears perked up immediately. Although she seemed silent and depressed before, she now beamed with joy.

Like a little dog seeing its favorite owner, she suddenly became full of energy…

Indeed, foxes are also canines, but isn't this enthusiasm a bit too overwhelming? It's really hard to handle…

"Yes, yes, I'm back, but isn't sticking yourself all over me unnecessary?"

Gu Mo, feeling somewhat troubled, extended his hand to block her forehead, preventing her entire body from leaning over. Miss Fox Spirit was really too good; thanks to the Guardian Spirit-like connection, he could genuinely feel this was wholehearted enthusiasm from Miss Tamamo no Mae.

Is it because of her obsession? Or due to the Guardian Spirit?

Or perhaps it's a mix of both, otherwise why be so kind to him?

Damn, even the sensation on her head feels good, the fluffy fox ears really are irresistible. Maybe he should just give in, but Miss Tamamo no Mae would spoil him into a useless person, which is… wonderful! Gu Mo initially just wanted to stop the fox-eared girl, but unconsciously turned it into a head-patting motion.

Soon after, an indistinct chill was felt beside him.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth, subconsciously looking to the side. The Witch had turned her gaze to him, seeming to inquire silently, with a calm expression she spoke, "You're back, how are things?"

The tone sounded quite calm, as if the chill earlier was just an illusion.

Gu Mo naturally retracted his hand, no longer indulging in caressing the fox, but seriously spoke, "I just talked with the king. If everything goes smoothly, maybe in about three or five days, Uruk should be able to transport the axe back here…"

"By then, the offensive should begin."

The Witch listened with a calm demeanor, then asked, "Once that Demon Beast Goddess is defeated, will that Human Evil beast you mentioned appear?"

"That's right, we also need to start preparing… perhaps it won't be too effective, but Kikyo can help reinforce the city walls and buildings in the next few days, setting up more barriers within the city," Gu Mo nodded, "Just to be safe, Hugh should also be psychologically prepared."

Moreover, the Demon Hunter Girl is too frail. Although not to the point where her profession would lead to a fatal fall from two meters, she is undoubtedly not much stronger than an ordinary person.

Before the impending catastrophe, she is like a dandelion in the wind, likely to scatter with a puff… but ironically, her strategic position is crucial, so she must be protected.

"What about me, what about me… Master, is there anything I can do?" The fox-eared girl pouted in protest beside him, waving her little fist forcefully, "I can also be of help."

Though she doesn't really care about this singularity, nor is she concerned about this era's fate, she merely seeks to do something for her beloved.

"As for you…" Gu Mo scratched his cheek with his index finger, pondering what Miss Tamamo no Mae could do, probably just maximize her combat abilities as a Servant… wait, it feels like he overlooked something.

Emperor Shi first obtained Immortal Dao Techniques in the Yin Shang relics… this fox also once thrived in the Shang-Zhou period…

He squinted slightly, "Miss Tamamo no Mae, do you have any techniques related to Immortal Ascension?"

"Eh? In regards to that…" The fox-eared girl was momentarily stunned, but she quickly reacted, smiling happily, with her eyes curved into crescents full of joy, "Is it the Feather Ascension Technique, or other Immortal Techniques? Master, which one do you want to know, or rather… how many kinds do you want to learn about?"
