Dream Travel

Chapter 308 Are They More Perfect?
Although his weapon case wasn't the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it had a similar function.

Who would have so much interaction with the souls inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for no reason?
Therefore, for this group of awakened individuals, it will be sufficient for them to play a role in some battles going forward.

The White Curtain clearly values ​​the fragments of the Awakened Ones' minds.

They are awakened beings who can enhance their strength through demonic energy, just like Lucy and Ella, and this applies to both of them.

In other words, regardless of how strong these awakened beings were in life, once they are summoned by him after death, they can be enhanced through Bai Mu's own demonic energy.

He doesn't have the original Banshee Queen's spiritual power, but the feeling of fullness he accumulates from eating allows him to use it as a temporary power plant.

Therefore, when these Awakened Ones are paired with White Curtain, it is equivalent to a special 'deck', with White Curtain being the soul of the deck.

In the following days, Shiro would often go to remote places to spar with Esdeath, sometimes bringing River and some greatswords with her.

Esdeath's Imperial Arms still have room for development. Besides harvesting the remaining Awakened Ones, another purpose of coming to this dream world is to allow Esdeath to develop her Imperial Arms.

Combat is the best way to develop skills.

Some battles don't even require White Curtain's direct involvement. By releasing some Awakened Ones and strengthening them with her own demonic energy, Esdeath will have enough opponents.

This routine lasted for two weeks.

Evereya and Beatrice's research is progressing very quickly.

With the aid of life alchemy and advanced viral technology, the trainees of the Greatsword have freed themselves from the influence of demonic flesh and blood.

But the changes brought about by the flesh and blood of demons remained.

In Evefeya's laboratory, there are many processed demon flesh and blood sealed away.

With the organization's destruction, these kinds of items are now considered 'out of print'.

However, by perfecting those greatswords, she regained a large amount of demonic flesh and blood.

When cultivating viruses through such flesh and blood, not much flesh and blood is consumed, and Atrist's life alchemy consumes even less.

After all, their approach to the greatsword wasn't to add, but to subtract—to remove the unnecessary parts.

So she collected enough materials, and this part of the demon flesh and blood would be specially processed and taken out when Bai Mu left.

Greatswords have high combat potential and even the characteristic of 'mutation'. Combined with bio-viruses, Rota City can use these materials to create new modified warriors.

However, the lack of life alchemists like Beatrice in Rota City will cause the modified warriors to lack certain performance characteristics.

Otherwise, how could we say that their approaches complement each other?

The virus enhancement allows the greatsword to retain its original strength while also receiving additional enhancements from the bio-virus.

Beatrice's life alchemy, on the other hand, can amplify the parts of the demon's flesh and blood during the fusion process.

When enlarged, it allows the greatswords to fully unleash their demonic energy during battle, transforming them into the form of awakened beings.

Compared to true awakened beings, their minds are completely influenced by the flesh and blood of demons, resulting in distorted values ​​and perceptions.

The demons are the dominant force, while the greatsword warriors are still guided by human beliefs.

From this perspective, Beatrice's life alchemy can be considered quite excellent.

"It will take at least ten more days to complete the subsequent renovations."

"Alright, it's within my acceptable range." Bai Mu looked at the bottles and jars, his lips twitching slightly. "Did you take all of these from them?"

The demon's flesh and blood were not very attractive; it was a lump of flesh with whip-like tentacles on its surface.

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"The problem is, it's just a piece of flesh, why does it need such a surgical scar?" Bai Mu reached out and drew a line vertically across his chest.

"The implantation of demonic flesh is uniform, and this aggregated form is the result of the demonic flesh treating the host as a petri dish." Evefeya explained the reason simply. Once the demonic flesh has completed parasitism, it has strong activity.

At first they are scattered, but then they will come together to form something like a 'nucleus'.

This thing is the main source of the demonic energy generated by the greatswords. As the greatswords are more deeply affected by the flesh and blood of demons, they begin to generate their own demonic energy, which makes them very easy to awaken.

Evereya performed surgery to remove the thing, and then used part of the demon flesh core to cultivate a biochemical virus.

The biochemical virus will catalyze changes in the Greatswords' physique, allowing them to transform their bodies to be completely adapted to demon flesh and blood without the parasitic presence of demon flesh and blood.

In this way, even without this mass of demonic flesh and blood, they can still use demonic energy of equal strength.

The flesh and blood of the demons that were dug out became her research material.

After she completed this step, Atreus used life alchemy to amplify the characteristics of the demons, allowing the greatswords to awaken.

Due to the difference in priorities, the awakened state of the greatswords is temporary.

The demonic energy must be in a highly active state to trigger that transformation state.

Once the demonic energy is depleted, it will revert to human form.

This is the opposite of the Awakened Ones. In their human form, the Awakened Ones need to actively suppress their demonic energy, otherwise they will default to their Awakened One form.

The difference in priorities indicates a difference in their positions.

"So you're saying they're pretty much like me now?"

“In terms of perfection, they are better than you,” Evereya said.

The perfected greatswords are indeed similar to the White Curtain; they can unleash their demonic energy without being greatly affected, and they will no longer experience the intense desires they once had.

That situation was also caused by the parasitism of demonic flesh and blood. Strong desires can shake the will of the greatsword and make it easier to induce their awakening.

Without the parasitic presence of demonic flesh and blood, such a problem would not exist.

Otherwise, when Bai Mu unleashes his demonic energy, it won't just be a berserk state, but a berserk eccentric demon...

The white curtain only released demonic energy, but did not cause any temporary awakening or change in the greatswords.

The difference between the two is quite significant. Normal demon energy release is equivalent to a Saiyan's burst of energy, but the color doesn't change.

Temporary awakening is equivalent to directly transforming into a Super Saiyan.

While the increase isn't as strong as that of a Super Saiyan, the magnitude of the improvement can be dramatically greater.

Since the White Curtain did not have a temporary awakening, it did not possess this kind of advantage.

"But my demonic aura is particularly violent."

“That’s your advantage, but it takes a long time to warm up.” Evereya didn’t deny the advantages of the White Curtain, but the problem with the White Curtain’s demonic aura was its warm-up time.

Greatswords can be temporarily awakened in one step.

The white curtain needs some warm-up, but if he can suppress the effects of the berserk state and remain in a state of demonic energy release, the resulting enhancement will be stronger than that of the greatsword.

"That's a good thing, at least it won't become weird."

Bai Mu takes this matter in stride.

"Perhaps you could try the virus I cultivated..."

"I do not!"

"..."
