Chapter 627 - 627 Treatment Plan?

How many Demons inhabit this island?

Are they all part of the same family with ice-blue eyes?

As expected of the Mother of All Things. Even a Demon can be Her child. A whole nest of them!

As thoughts swirled in Lumians mind, accompanied by those piercing ice-blue eyes and the name Naboredisley, he felt that his previous investigations and speculations were completely off course.

The complexity and mystery surrounding the legend of the Demons on Hanth Island surpa.s.sed his initial imagination.

No, there are still gains and benefits

Speculation involves bold a.s.sumptions and careful confirmation. Its normal for initial a.s.sumptions to be overturned. The elimination method is a crucial deduction tool

How can there be unsolved cases that are guessed completely correct from the beginning? The crucial aspect lies in consistently refuting the incorrect path through falsification and integrating new information acquired during the investigation to uncover the right one

Heh heh, if I were to take the Reader pathway, it should be relatively straightforward for me to act the role of a Detective. Discerning a conspiracy stands out as one of the primary duties of a Detective

Lumian rea.s.sured himself, disentangling from the impact of the two ice-blue-eyed Demons. He regained his clarity and rationality, no longer feeling befuddled and disoriented.

Under the blistering sunlight, he swiftly identified an issue.

In the scene I witnessed through the Mystery Prying Gla.s.ses, the blood-colored Demon was pulled by an invisible force, but there was only one invisible force, and only a pair of ice-blue eyes gazed at me

Theres only one ice-blue-eyed Demon closely linked to the blood-colored Demon, and thats the elder Boselli who repented before the Sacred Emblem of Life. The others, including the ice-blue-eyed clergyman, are its descendants. Could they be the offspring it left behind with the nuns when it used the Hanth Islands cloister to restore its youth and obtain a new ident.i.ty?

However, when the ice-blue-eyed clergyman mentioned Boselli, it didnt sound like it was referring to its father, grandfather, or ancestor. It was as if it was discussing a friend with whom it didnt share an amicable relations.h.i.+p

Moreover, it also identifies itself as Naboredisley

Could this be a family name? A significant family name among the Abyss Demons?

Puzzled, Lumian boarded the Berries and returned to his first-cla.s.s suite.

At that moment, Lugano and Ludwig were relis.h.i.+ng a lavish lunch.

Upon spotting Lumian, the Doctor grinned sheepishly and said, I thought youd be indulging in the local delights on the island, so I didnt wait for you.

Lumian sat down and grabbed a wheat-flavored bun. As he chewed, he asked thoughtfully,

What do you know about the abilities of the Planter pathway?

Lugano hesitated for a moment before truthfully responding, Sequence 9 Planter significantly boosts my strength. I can predict the weather to a certain extent by observing clouds, wind, and other natural phenomena. Im adept at identifying seeds and nurturing them. Farming tools suit me more than knives and guns.

Sequence 8 Doctors primary abilities revolve around healing. They can discern the patients specific situation through Spirit Vision. They possess outstanding surgical skills, such as suturing severed limbs and transplanting internal organs. Additionally, we gain Beyonder abilities like Evil Ailment Treatment, Trauma Treatment, Soul Suture, and Life-Giving.

As far as I know, the next Sequence is called Harvest Priest. It mainly focuses on promoting the reproduction and growth of creatures and bringing about a b.u.mper harvest with Beyonder powers

Upon hearing this, Lumian suddenly interrupted Lugano.

Soul Suture?

How is this implemented?

Lugano grinned sheepishly and said, I havent really used this ability yet. Its used to treat soul injuries. As you know, some superpowers can attack the soul, making it difficult for it to heal on its own. At this moment, as long as the injured let go of their bodies and minds and dont resist, I can carry out a soul-level surgery to st.i.tch up the corresponding wound.

Lumians concern wasnt about st.i.tching up a soul; it was another matter that provided him with a fresh perspective on the Demon legends of Hanth Island.

He downed the pre-meal bun and took a sip of the golden liqueur. After a moment of contemplation, he inquired, Since you can suture souls, from a different standpoint, can you also sever souls?

Lugano fell silent. After ten to twenty seconds, he responded, Theoretically, yes, but it requires the corresponding person to completely open up their body and mind, leaving their soul unprotected. It would be even more effective if their physical body doesnt exist.

The Doctor hesitated for a moment before adding, This can serve as an attack on the soul, but it could also be a treatment method. If a patients soul is corrupted by a curse, they can address it by severing the depravity and allowing their soul to gradually heal.

Upon hearing this, Lumian smiled and applauded softly.

Well said. Well said.

Lugano, being thick-skinned, couldnt help but feel a bit embarra.s.sed by the praise. He blurted out, Thats just my speculation. I havent tested it yet.

Lumian ignored him and proceeded to emulate what Ludwig had done. He forked a lamb chop onto his plate and began cutting with determination.

Simultaneously, the initial sensations when he faced the onslaught of the ice-blue-eyed Demon resurfaced in Lumians mind.

He witnessed diverse versions of himselfa version br.i.m.m.i.n.g with hatred, another immersed in pain, one engrossed in l.u.s.t, and another consumed by various desires and emotions

As Lugano detailed the process of suturing and soul-severing, an idea sparked in Lumians mind.

What if the High-Sequence abilities of the Planter pathway were employed to excise different aspects of the soul corresponding to various desires?

Could there truly be just one ice-blue-eyed Demon on Hanth Island, but its soul had been part.i.tioned by the Saints and even Angels of the Church of Earth Mother, each becoming an individual? On a mystical level, they remain a single ent.i.ty. Hence, is there only one invisible force closely tied to the blood-colored Demon?

The question now iswhy would the Church of Earth Mother undertake such an action?

Imposing restrictions or offering protection? Perhaps both?

Lumian swiftly linked this with the state of the blood-colored Demon. It consistently descended into the pitch-black sewage before being hoisted up by an unseen force.

Splitting the soul acted as a s.h.i.+eld for the ice-blue Demon, preventing corruption from the power of the pitch-

black sewage?

Wait, could the ice-blue-eyed Demon be the untainted segment of the blood-colored Demons soul? Is the Church of Earth Mothers approach based on deeming the entire body beyond salvation, but parts are still considered healthy? Is that why a healthy soul needs to be severed into different desires?

The forest sealing off the mysterious valley, pitch-black sewage, and the blood-colored Demon displayed characteristics of rebirth, growth, depravity, death, and rebirth again The soul fragments of the blood-colored Demon were given new life, enabling them to utilize the cycle of rebirth, growth, aging, death, and rebirth again to resist the corruption spreading from their true bodies?

Simultaneously, relying on the existence of the healthy parts prevented the blood-colored Demon from sinking entirely?

Aging soul fragments are inherently more vulnerable to corruption from the main body, and newborns are the healthiest. This explains why the old Boselli and the ice-blue-

eyed clergyman are in different states

Such a newborn possesses a Demons potent soul, but its human body is exceedingly frail. Yes, it aligns with my observations of Boselli. Its feeble and aged body encases a potent soul teeming with malevolence This This method of sealing and rescuing aligns with the Church of Earth Mothers unique abilities

With these revelations, Lumian felt enlightened. Only then did he realize that he had been continuously cutting the lamb chops bones, producing a grinding sound.

Lugano pretended not to notice or hear anything, focusing on enjoying his meal. Ludwig paid no attention to such trivial matters, wholly absorbed in the delicacies.

Lumian withdrew his gaze and happily poured himself a gla.s.s of Paha red wine. The confusion, disorder, loss, and disappointment he had previously experienced dissipated significantly.

As he drank, he leisurely pondered, This hypothesis aligns most with the current details. Unfortunately, it cant be verified, nor do I dare to. And without verification and results, theres no feedback for the potions digestion

Forget it. The experience and lessons I gained this time are much more important than the digestion I can still attempt in the future.

Why does the Church of Earth Mother want to protect the blood-colored Demon? Moreover, since a healthy soul has been separated and given new life, why not completely destroy and purify the corrupted true form to eliminate any hidden dangers?

Theres a high chance that this involves the worlds deep secrets

Is that blood-colored Demon the true and largest Naboredisley?

Was the one seeking a deal to slay Hanth Islands Demon descendant it? Can it, in turn, affect a few soul fragments, allowing me and a Mid-Sequence Beyonder like Franca to slay a true Demon?

The more Lumian contemplated, the more curious he became about the truth. However, he eventually restrained himself.

For Beyonders at his level, this matter was concluded. After leaving Hanth Island, he would report his gains and speculations to Madam Magician and consult the Tarot Clubs Major Arcana card holders.

Lumian, putting aside his investigative thoughts, felt a sense of relief. He spent the rest of his time leisurely strolling through Port Hanth.

To his surprise, he realized that the Berserk Sea island city, far from the Feynapotter Kingdom, didnt have a genuine casino. There were no criminal industries like human trafficking. It was as clean as if it had been purified by the Eternal Blazing Sun Church.

After engaging in Fighting Evil and other card games throughout the afternoon, Lumian, with wins and losses not exceeding 1 gold risot, finally grasped the reason.

Unable to control themselves, the ice-blue-eyed Demons prioritized the malevolent wrongdoers, making them vanish into the forest outside the city.

As timea century or twoelapsed, Port Hanth could be deemed a city bathed in sunlight.

Certainly, there were innocents among them, like Antonio Elias.

Late at night, in the first-cla.s.s cabin suite of the Berries.

In his slumber, Lumian vaguely witnessed the land shrouded in sulfurous flames, and the blood-colored Demon sprawled within the pitch-black liquid.
