Demi-human Girls Completion Manual

Fisher couldn’t resist his curiosity after hearing this, and while patting her back, he said,

"...It seems you really dislike Valentina, so much so that you’ve changed your belief from the Frost Phoenix. When did you start believing in the Mother Goddess? Even David is speaking like you now..."

Alagina took a small step back, looking at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he said that,

"When... Fisher, haven’t I always believed in the Mother Goddess?"

"..."

Fisher stared at her dumbfounded, scrutinizing her extremely serious expression.

It was only after several seconds, once he was completely certain that Alagina in front of him wasn’t joking about a chaotic scene but actually believed what she said, that his expression turned serious as well,

"No, something’s off here, Alagina."

"What’s not right here..."

Fisher quickly released Alagina’s body and looked towards the extremely vast space outside the ship; it was brightly lit on all sides, and he couldn’t see what was outside the Spirit Realm at all, as if it were just a sealed research facility.

But after Alagina said those words, Fisher felt a peculiar dissonance, as if the space, time, and everything here were off.

He was slightly stunned and lightly released Alagina, then pulled her to his side and said,

"Alajian, you did not believe in the Mother Goddess before."

"Me... me?"

Alagina’s expression was so confused that it was as if she doubted whether she was herself.

It was only then that Fisher felt foolish; with Azan Ross’s blessing, he had previously opened a rank that affected him, and now that the rank was allowed out, he had forgotten to reopen it, possibly putting him in danger and being noticed by something in the Spirit Realm.

He was just about to recite a spell to activate the blessing when he suddenly felt warmth in his chest.

He was slightly startled, opened his outer garment, and saw that the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual had burned through the pocket of his clothing, pressing tightly against his skin, like when he reverted to a Chaos Species true form.

The Demi-human Girls Completion Manual was flickering in a dim gold light, even dimmer than ever before, like a candle flickering in the wind as if it might go out at any moment, seeming to struggle against something.

He touched the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual in confusion, and the balance of the golden light’s power suddenly faded. In the next moment, the scene before his eyes abruptly changed, but he still saw this vast dock and still was on Alagina’s unfinished ship; the only difference now was that a Scarlet Mist seemed to permeate everywhere, instantaneously enveloping the Alagina in front of him and making her indistinguishable.

How was it possible that he hadn’t noticed this dense Scarlet Mist just moments ago?!

"Mother Goddess bless, Alagina, you here..."

Having just opened his mouth without noticing, the golden light on the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual in his arms blossomed again, forming a visible shield to cover him, and his mind stiffened, instantly realizing that he had subconsciously called for the Mother Goddess’s blessing.

"Azan Ross!"

He hastily called upon the name of the avatar on him, and in the next moment, the tentacles on his body revealed themselves, but they drooped in a very lifeless manner, and the golden vortex-like suckers all over his body also twitched and released bubbles as if suffering from food poisoning.

No way, had even Azan Ross’s avatar succumbed?!

What on earth is this Scarlet Mist...

"Fisher, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Didn’t you see anything?"

"I... is there something here? I just saw you suddenly start talking to the air saying things I couldn’t understand..."

Alagina could not see it either, just as he hadn’t seen anything earlier.

"...It’s nothing, Alagina, please stand by and wait for a moment while I think things through."

Fisher calmed his thoughts quickly, first soothing Alagina beside him without informing her about the situation around them.

Primarily, Fisher didn’t know what effects the Scarlet Mist had on Alagina besides causing her to believe in the Mother Goddess. If there were other influences on consciousness, accidentally touching them could cause Alagina to become a trouble easily, and above all, he feared for her safety.

The question is, why is the most noticeable change brought by this Scarlet Mist making people believe in the Mother Goddess? What is the connection between Spirit Realm Pollution and the Mother Goddess?

"Okay..."

Swallowing nervously, Alagina noticed Fisher’s uneasiness but followed his instruction without further movement.

Fisher frowned, reaching out to wave in the air before him, watching as his power stirred the mist to move in whirlpool-like motions.

As he observed his surroundings, he seemed to find that the mist had a source, at least confirming it came from a certain direction.

This direction is...

Fisher blankly looked up towards the ceiling and suddenly saw that there was an equally enormous opening above the dock’s vast space.

Countless streams of Scarlet Mist tangible forced their way in, seemingly becoming more restless because of Fisher’s presence.

The Scarlet Mist ebbed like the tide, yet vague and untouchable like phantom-like air, until a distorted and terrifying voice, monstrous-like, slowly echoed from within,

"Sensê...Sensê...Itai..."

"Tasu...kete..."
