People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

If you don't know the specific situation inside Helheim Forest and want to come here to gain power, the most direct idea should be to obtain more Devil Fruit Lock Seeds.

At that time, Kuzuba Kota had already seen the number of lock seeds that Frost Star possessed. There were quite a few of them and the quality was also good. Although they were not particularly powerful fruits, as mentioned before, devil fruits are sometimes limited by people's imagination. Just the two devil fruits, the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Ice Fruit, were enough to make Frost Star a strong man.

If you want the other party to master more devil fruits, you may end up in an awkward situation where you have too many but not enough, so...

Before Shuangxing could give an answer, a black object was thrown from Kuzuya Kota's hand directly in front of Shuangxing.

"This is……"

"The Genesis Core. The panel on the fighter's driver can be removed. After removing it and attaching this thing on it, you can use two lock types at the same time to transform into the Zhenyu form. In the beginning, the Genesis Core was a great help to me and Jiedou."

Can you use two Devil Fruit locks at the same time?

Upon hearing these words, Frost Star's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance. Although he was a bit of a book burner and burying scholar in terms of academic qualifications, Frost Star was not vague at all when it came to matters related to combat.

Using two devil fruits to lock seeds at the same time, she immediately figured out the trick, and a hint of enthusiasm flashed across her eyes when she saw the Genesis Core in front of her.

"of course."

Suddenly, Kuzuya Kota threw out a chain made of ice and snow and pulled the Genesis Core back.

"I can't just give this to you, Miss Shuangxing. If power is obtained too easily, people will look down on it, and then develop arrogance and conceit.

Since the Ark was able to send you here, it means that the time cost of you increasing your strength here is also within his consideration, so..."

Frost Star understood what the other party meant, but she couldn't accept it, because in her opinion, Tallulah was at a disadvantage at the moment. The best way now was to get more lock seeds and go back directly. In this way, she could not only improve her strength, but also help Tallulah as soon as possible.

However, just when Shuangxing wanted to reject Geye Kota's suggestion of spending time to increase her strength, the other party seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a purple-black lock seed and looked at her seriously.

"Speaking of which, Miss Froststar, do you remember this lock?"

When the purple-black lock seed was placed on the table and pushed towards her, Frost Star's eyes flashed with a hint of alertness, because she felt an extremely ominous aura from the lock seed. The last time she felt this aura was almost two months ago.

On the inner guard.

"Is this... an evil demon?"

clap clap.

That's it.

Inside the magnificent palace, the king, looking down from high above, clapped his hands softly.

“Here, stagnant history finally begins to move.”

Chapter 231: Healing Fruit Carries the Whole Game

Evil demon.

Hearing this, Kuzuba Kota showed an expression that said, "As expected."

"As expected, this means that this power really comes from your side."

The purple-black lock seed suddenly became restless, vaguely trying to break free from Geye Hongtai's control, but with a flash of golden light, the evil lock seed fell silent again.

"He's such a worrying guy, trying to escape at the slightest mistake."

Geye Kota said this, then placed it on the table, and then slapped the stacked rocks to seal them inside an exquisitely shaped stone lock. The oppressive force released by the golden light that flashed from time to time on the surface of the stone lock made Shuangxing hold her breath, as if the stone lock would become infinitely larger in the next second and press herself underneath.

"Where did this lock come from?"

Frost Star raised his question, and Kuzuba Kota thought for a moment before speaking:

"This is just a rough guess. After all, although I arrived quickly when this lock was created, I was not present.

The current speculation is that it was probably during one of Miss Froststar's transformations in battle. Since we isolated Helheim from the other worlds and made it completely independent, the only way to connect to this world in the near future is when Miss Froststar transformed, connecting Helheim with the land called Terra where you are.

It should have been during one of your battles with a creature possessing this kind of power. Oh, yes, that time when I gave you the Sakura Hurricane Lock Seed. At that time, I felt that that guy Fang Zhou had caused me quite a bit of trouble. I even went to find the Demon King because of this lock seed, but he said there was no need to worry about it. It was just a tiny fragment, about the size of dandruff. A slight seal would prevent it from becoming the coordinates of Helheim Forest for that guy.

"The enemy's attack must have entered Helheim Forest through the spatial rift connecting to Helheim's underworld that was opened when you transformed, and then infected the Helheim Fruit, thus creating this Demonic Lock Seed."

During a certain battle?

In fact, after obtaining the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit's Lock Seed, the number of times he used it in battle was actually not very many. It can be said that it can be counted on one hand, because most of the enemies he faced could be dealt with by Frost Star's own Originium skills. The only two times he faced the inner guards...

Yes, inner guard!

If he wanted to come into contact with the power of the evil spirit, it could only be done through those two battles with the inner guards.

Moreover, the other party also said that it was the time when the Sakura Hurricane lock seed was given to me, so it must be the time when the Fourth Army was pursuing the enemy.

It was also at that time after the battle that he discovered a cherry blossom-colored lock seed on his waist. The concept of cherry blossom was taught to him by Fang Zhou later. After all, this plant is said to only grow in parts of the East Country and Da Yan. Cherry blossoms will definitely not grow in the frozen soil of Ursus.

"Then it must have been that time."

"I remembered?"

"Ah."

Afterwards, Frost Star described to Geye Kota the experience of being chased by the Fourth Army. Geye Kota also acted as a serious listener. When Frost Star talked about some important and thrilling moments, he would also exclaim in cooperation, which made the former glance at him in surprise, because the powerful and god-like manager of the Heim underworld in front of him behaved like a child at this time. But it must be said that Geye Kota's cooperation really maximized Frost Star's emotional value.

"That guy Fang Zhou is still the same as always, making people feel helpless and at the same time reassured."

When he heard Frost Star talk about the important role that the Ark played in that pursuit, Ge Ye Hongtai sighed deeply.

"But Miss Frost Star, you don't have to worry. It's just a demon lock seed. It has been neutralized. Although there is still some demonic power in it, as long as you pay attention to the time of use, it should be fine."

"Usage time?"

Shuangxing raised an eyebrow and looked at Kuzuya Kota in surprise. From what he said, could it be that...

"Yes, Miss Froststar, please keep this Demonic Lock Seed. Didn't you come here to seek power? Then this Demonic Lock Seed should be a good choice for you. Moreover, the power of this Demonic Lock Seed is indeed extremely powerful. Ordinary Devil Fruit Lock Seeds cannot compare to it in terms of performance."

The stone lock was untied by Ge Ye Hongtai, who grabbed the lock seed in his hand and shook it in front of Shuang Xing's eyes. The latter's eyes followed the movement of the lock seed closely.

The power of the devil...

Frost Star looked at the purple-black lock in front of him and hesitated for a moment, then picked it up.

Is there a price to pay for this power? This is what Kuzuya Kota had been emphasizing. The Demonic Lock Seed has a time limit. Using the Demonic Lock Seed for a short time can indeed bring Frost Star great power, but if it is used for too long...

"If used for a long time..."

"It will be contaminated by the power of the evil spirits. Miss Frost Star, how much do you know about the evil spirits on your side?"

As for this power that Frost Star calls evil demon, in Kuzuya Kota's understanding, it is not called evil demon, or it is a bit too subjective to call those guys evil demon. But for the intelligent life living in this real world, it is not wrong to call them evil demons based on what they do and the form of their existence.

"I... I don't know much, but old man... my adoptive father should know more about demons. I've heard those warriors who followed him mention that in my country, Ursus, its far northern border is also known as the border of civilization. My adoptive father once led the army to fight against the demons there.

It is said that he once killed an evil demon with his own hands. That evil demon had many limbs, and each limb had a terrifying number of eyes... Hmm..."

Halfway through her words, Frost Star suddenly felt a headache, as if something had suddenly taken root in her mind.

Brilliance flashes.

Frost Star looked at the radiance released by Kuzuya Kota's outstretched hand, and felt the pain in her mind gradually disappear.

"I see. I understand then."

Kuzuya Kota nodded. It seemed that the world over there still had a relatively basic understanding of "evil demons". Should we kill the evil demons?

Although it is not very polite to think so, considering the combat performance of her adoptive father described by Miss Frost Star, killing the evil demons is absolutely unrealistic, and those guys will not be killed easily. What he killed should be creatures that were overly infected by the evil demons.

So many limbs and eyes, ha, monsters with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes, the creatures that group of guys invade all have the same style no matter which world they are in.

"It seems you haven't had much contact with demons. Don't worry, you can use the lock without worry. According to my estimation, as long as you use it for no more than five minutes, there will be no problem. If you use it for more than five minutes, you will feel obvious discomfort. And if you use it for more than fifteen minutes... you will be completely eroded by the power of the demon. So you must not use it for more than fifteen minutes..."

"If you're nagging like that, why don't you just give this thing to Miss Shuangxing?"

Kuzunoya Kota turned around and looked helplessly at Takashi Mai who walked in.

"This kind of troublesome power shouldn't have been given to Miss Frost Star in the first place. Wouldn't it have been better to just destroy it right from the start? Giving it to someone else to use requires worrying about this and that."

"Dancing, you know..."

"Yes, yes, the price of power... You always talk about this, Miss Frost Star. Do you understand what Kota just said to you? This lock is very powerful, but also very dangerous. Using it rashly may bring consequences that many people may find unacceptable, so..."

Gao Siwu did not continue speaking. Her black eyes met Shuangxing's silver-gray pupils, with faint red light flickering in them. Behind her, Qu Wen Jiedou had not said a word since he came in. He just stood there quietly looking at Shuangxing, as if waiting for her to make a choice.

The purple-black lock seed on the table flashed with a strange and ominous light. Frost Star missed Gao Siwu's sight and looked at the lock seed. A low whisper seemed to come faintly in his mind. The whisper was very light, but quite bewitching and guiding. Every word seemed to be guiding Frost Star to think about some confusing and negative things, and to recall those memories that made him angry, sad, and aroused hatred.

Snapped!

Frost Star grabbed the lock seed and took a deep breath.

"Miss Froststar..."

"It's okay, Ms. Takashi. I, I understand Mr. Kuzuha's good intentions. Power comes at a price. Too much power that's too cheap will only make one's heart swell. The more it swells, the more it swells, and the more it swells, the more it swells. Finally, under the pressure of endless desire, it explodes, and all is lost.

I accept this lock seed, and I don't think my will will be defeated by a small lock seed."

Qu Wen Jiedou opened his eyes, looked at Shuangxing with deep eyes, and then suddenly threw a blood-red capsule at the latter.

"then."

"Huh? What is this?"

Frost Star caught the blood-red capsule with a puzzled look in his eyes.

This thing looks like some kind of medicine?

"Well, Miss Shuangxing, you'll know after you take it. Jiedou should control the dosage. This one pill should be fine."

However, despite what Gao Siwu said, Shuangxing was still full of doubts about the small capsule in front of her.

"This is the healing essence I made using the Parahuman-type healing fruit. Mai asked me to make it for you to heal you."

Qu Wen Jie Dou saw Shuang Xing's concerns and told her the function of the capsule before Gao Siwu could stop him.

"Jidou! Didn't you say you wanted to give Miss Shuangxing a surprise?!"

Gao Siwu looked at Qi Wen Jiedou with a slightly blaming look, but the latter looked at Gao Siwu as if he were an idiot.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"If two strangers suddenly gave you a blood-red capsule that looked ominous and asked you to take it, would you take it?"

"Uh, no."

"What if these two people were known to your friends and introduced to you?"

"Uh, maybe not."

"So what else do you have to say?"

"sorry."

Gao Siwu's momentum was completely suppressed by Qu Wen Jie Dou, but Shuangxing didn't care at all. All her attention was completely attracted by the capsule.

A capsule to treat my own illness? There was no need to elaborate on what ailed me. This meant the capsule they were talking about was supposed to cure my... oripathy?

This capsule can cure mineral sickness?!

For a moment, Shuangxing felt like she was listening to some fairy tale.

On Terra, the concept that oripathy is an incurable terminal illness has been thoroughly ingrained in people's minds. Not to mention ordinary people, Frost Star, who is himself infected, knows better than anyone how terrible oripathy is. The reason why oripathy is terrible is not only that it can become a source of severe infection when the disease causes death, but also that it is incurable (Note 2).

But now, these people in front of me told me that this small capsule can cure mineralogy?

If Frost Star had never come into contact with the Ark or those mysterious powers, she might have scoffed at these words. However, after witnessing the power of the Knight System and the unpredictable nature of the Devil Fruit, Frost Star's heart began to waver.

And what kind of fruit did Qiwen Jiedou just say? A healing fruit?

The devil fruit, which is famous for its healing power, should be very effective in this regard.

The hope in his heart was magnified by the experiences during this period, but Frost Star still maintained the most basic vigilance.

"This capsule... is transparent? The red liquid inside..."

"That's my blood. The Healing Fruit can transform a creature's blood into a healing 'medicine'. The more powerful the creature, the stronger the healing effect. And right now, the strongest creature in this forest is naturally me."

At the end of his speech, there was an indescribable pride in Qi Wen Jie Dou's tone.

Neither Kuzuya Kota nor Takashi Mai responded to the conversation because they knew that if they responded at this time, the Helheim Forest would probably not be peaceful that day.

"Medicine" made from blood.

Frost Star looked at the man in front of her, and finally slowly swallowed the capsule.

Although they had only spent a short time together, she could still see part of the character of the man in front of her named Qu Wen Jie Dou.

Qu Wen Jie Dou is also a person who pursues strength and is a proud person. Such a person would not use such despicable means as poison on himself who is far weaker than him. Moreover, Shuang Xing couldn't figure out what value he had that could make the other party kill him.

As the capsule entered her stomach, a mysterious force spread throughout Frost Star's body almost instantly, transforming it at an extremely fast speed... no, it should be said that it was healing her body.

It was only three or four seconds before Frost Star suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, then looked down at his body.

"My...body..."
