Chapter 537 28: The Day of Immortal Ascension, The Day of Destruction
"So this is the Holy Grail..."In the hollow underground of Uruk, Gu Mo observed the Uruk Great Cup floating mid-air, exhibiting anti-gravity phenomena.
Like a wine vessel, the cup was entirely golden, with an exceptionally pure color and luster, as if made of pure gold. Beyond the golden reflection, the cup itself emanated a swirling halo, shimmering in the air like rippling water, reflecting a faint, multicolored light.
Magic Power!
An incomparably vast amount of magic power!
The so-called Holy Grail, said to be an object that can fulfill various wishes, is essentially a high-purity, high-density crystal of magic power, absorbing intangible existence and transforming it into a product of the Third Magic.
"This kind of power..."
Faced with what can be described as a general wish machine, Kikyo couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly at the massive energy response. If such immense energy were to erupt directly, it would be an extremely terrifying disaster, wouldn't it?
"Do you need to take a look?"
Gu Mo smiled, reaching out to grasp the Holy Grail in front of him.
"No need for that, but you... are you prepared?" The witch shook her head, her gaze at the young man opposite becoming increasingly peculiar. She still found it hard to believe that this person wasn't actually a demon and that even his previous powers were borrowed.
Up until now, as the other party was about to attempt reaching the Immortal Realm, the witch still felt that this whole thing sounded quite strange.
"No problem at all, I've done all the preparation I can. Although the Holy Grail isn't omnipotent, within certain limits, it truly is a universal cauldron capable of realizing any wish immediately." Gu Mo replied, looking at the exquisite object in his hand with admiration.
His slender fingertips gently brushed over the smooth surface of the golden cup.
"What I need to do now is use the power of the Holy Grail to cross-check the sample data with Miss Tamamo no Mae's Immortal Ascension method, obtain the perfect result, and recreate it... Or should I say, use the power of the Holy Grail to expedite this process?"
It's not creating something from nothing; he has all the conditions—live sample data about celestial beings, true persons, etc., are in hand, and he's familiar with the Immortal Ascension techniques...
Next is to use the power of the Holy Grail to endow himself with immense computational power, quickly verify and deliver the final answer.
In the Anomaly Zone, His Majesty the First Emperor used his giant mechanized Holy Body that controlled the entire Earth, with god-like computational power, to analyze the Feather Ascension Technique obtained from the Fusang Tree, verify it using live data collected from Akai Hinako, and accelerate the cultivation of results in a biological incubation chamber.
And Gu Mo was indirectly recreating such a process through the universal cauldron that fulfills wishes.
"Thank you too, Kikyo, for cooperating and finally agreeing to let me obtain the body data of the Celestial Maiden Body..." Gu Mo laughed heartily, as if sincerely expressing gratitude to the witch.
"I told you not to talk about that..."
Kikyo froze for a moment, and after realizing it, a trace of embarrassment and annoyance flashed through her eyes, as clear as autumn water. Although nothing actually happened, and she just had to release her spiritual power for this person to thoroughly scan her body with his spiritual will, it's not like such matters are common.
Gu Mo blinked, still smiling, but didn't say anything further.
He was also not foolish enough to mention that he also obtained live sample data from Akai Hinako—when the restraint force express recently arrived, during the crucial moment when the literature department girl was temporarily unconscious, not immediately awake, he had already meticulously scanned her body with spiritual power.
After all, if he awaited the literature department girl's awakening, trying to gain such an opportunity through normal communication would be almost impossible.
And this in itself wasn't too easy—his spiritual power wasn't necessarily as precise as the scanning instruments equipped with His Majesty the Emperor's mechanized Holy Body, so he could only distort reality through the Power of Lies, concentrating all efforts with utmost focus, briefly boosting the perception precision of his spiritual power beyond cellular level.
In a short time, it was like burning his will, quickly consuming a substantial amount of spiritual strength.
His head felt overtaxed, as if about to melt.
It wasn't a positive experience; he probably wouldn't want to repeat it, although if this transformation in life form were completed, perhaps he wouldn't need to go through such trouble in the future.
"Tell Hiri to stay indoors, all of you remain inside the embassy..."
"Check the barriers and talismans frequently, and don't hold back against any demon beasts that might appear..."
"If things do get too dangerous, don't hesitate; have Hiri open the door immediately. I won't have any trouble, but you need to ensure your own safety first..."
Although he was relatively confident, to be safe, Gu Mo seriously repeated the precautions to the witch, who silently listened.
Shortly after, the witch conducted a final inspection of the underground hollow. Previously, there were many evil spirits lingering here, but the Chaldea and others had swept through once amidst their various missions, and now, after her spiritual power cleansed it further, nowhere was cleaner.
