"Yes, I won't regret it."

Yao could feel the power within his body.

This is much better than before.

Looking at the panel data of the Imagination Tree is quite intuitive, clearly explaining the changes in Yao.

[Igniting the Dragon Furnace: The Great Ancestor Dragon]

[Grade: A]

[This skill, acquired through assimilation with Typhon, the progenitor of the dragons, allows the user to ignite and activate the Dragon's Furnace. It originates from the Dragon Species Modification: Evil Dragon Ascension and Metamorphosis.]

[Dragon Road Unfolds: Tiphon]

[Grade: A]

[Unlock the magic circuits within the body that act as Typhon. In other words, this ensures the host's offensive capabilities as a dragon.]

The Fruit of Impermanence

【grade:? ? ? 】

This is Ephemerus's true form—the Reverse Wish Machine. All wishes will be granted in an inverted and reversed form.

[Dragon Prison Shell. Ash-Scorched Armor]

[Grade: C+]

The gods used Mount Etna to suppress Typhon. Therefore, this volcano was both Typhon's cage and his outer shell. Without the power to shatter Mount Etna, it would be impossible to break through the dragon armor's defenses.

This is the new power that Yao has gained at this stage.

According to Ephemolos, the fusion between Typhon and Yao is not yet perfect.

In the future, new forces will emerge.

Chapter 55 The Valkyrie's Flaw, A Love That Seems Ambiguous [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Hmph, Typhon's greatest strength is not himself, but his ability to adapt to and transform any environment! In other words, Typhon can devour any power as long as the conditions are met."

However, that applies to Typhon himself. I'm not sure how it will manifest in you, Elf.

Ephemerus stood with his hands on his hips, looking quite pleased with himself.

Now, she has moved into Yao's body, and her existence is similar to that of a follower who establishes an equal relationship.

Only in this way can she resist the decline of the divine age.

Ephemeros has no fighting ability.

She was offered as a sacrifice to Typhon at birth and didn't even know how to fight.

His tragic life consisted only of defeats.

Furthermore, Yao saw the skill of the Impermanence Fruit through the Imaginary Tree, and the skill frame was dimmed.

In other words, the skill did not take effect.

The specific reason is unknown.

Yao didn't want the Impermanence Fruit to take effect too quickly; it was best to wait until he could come up with a solution.

Until then, it's better to leave the anti-wish machine on the shelf.

He didn't want to be like Ephemeros, tinkering for so long only to end up tripping himself up.

Yao led Ephemeros away from the underground.

Ephemerus can live in Yao's shadow; she only needs to tell Yao if she wants to come out.

He channeled Typhon's last bit of power into Yao's body.

This exhausted her, and Ephemeros chose to retreat into the shadows for a short nap due to her fatigue.

"It took a few hours, and Brunhilde should have finished dealing with things by now. The conversation didn't take too long; the most time was spent on Typhon's integration and transformation."

Yao started timing the moment he entered the underground.

Several hours had passed since he parted ways with Brunhilde, and he was unaware of the battle situation in the cave.

Thinking about it, Yao quickened his pace.

They quickly arrived at the scene of "093".

The sight that greeted him was truly shocking, far more exaggerated than Yao had imagined.

—The stench of blood, thick with the smell of rust, flooded my nostrils.

Chunks of flesh, a mixture of divine and magical beasts, littered the cave floor, while azure divine flames scalded the filthy blood to a boiling point.

Corpses littered the fields; all the mythical beasts and divine creatures perished tragically.

The Hydra's heads were all severed, and its writhing tails seemed to testify that it had just been alive.

Yes, what appeared before us was a slaughterhouse.

All the mythical beasts and magical beasts have been wiped out.

These formidable enemies, whom even Yao himself might not be able to defeat, were all wiped out by Brunhilde.

"This is really..."

Yao was at a loss for words.

The shattered corpses made it hard to imagine how fierce the battle was, giving a glimpse into the Valkyrie's divine power.

He sincerely wanted to offer his admiration and praise to the Valkyrie.

However, as Yao moved further into the center of the cave battlefield, an unexpected sight appeared.

—The blood-soaked figure leaned against the divine spear, the Valkyrie breathing in excruciating pain.

Her pale face spoke volumes about her terrible condition.

The blood vessels throughout his body appeared an abnormal bluish-black color, spreading like a spider web to his neck, resembling cracks in porcelain.

"Brunhildr!"

Yao immediately stepped forward and hugged her.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Brunhilde had very obvious snake bite marks on her arm.

Furthermore, the cave is inhabited only by the Hydra snake.

It is undoubtedly the venom of the Hydra.

This poison is the most deadly poison in Greek mythology.

It once drove the great hero Hercules to the brink of death, and even the sage Chiron had to kneel and beg for his life.

It can be said that it is almost a hero.

Yao had not prepared an antidote.

The reason is that Hydra no longer exists on the surface of the earth, so how could it possibly guard against something that does not exist?

Mount Ternar is a place arranged by the Greek gods.

The planet's intelligence can only know that there are mysteries hidden here, but it cannot know the specific methods the gods used to set up these mysteries.

"Phew...that's a bit better!"

Yao used the Hydra's flesh as material to temporarily alleviate Brunhilde's poisoning.

Brunhilde was injured while covering his retreat.

The battle was more dangerous than he had imagined.

However, this is not a matter of Yao's miscalculation; even if he had stayed, the outcome would most likely have been the same.

The gods employed more than just this method of suppression.

If you stay too long, other mythical beasts and magical creatures around the volcano might come running.

The strategy of a swift and decisive victory is correct.

Yao had said he didn't want Brunhilde to be too headstrong, but she carried out the plan regardless of the consequences.

She has incomplete emotional functioning.

The final result was incomplete and incorrect.

“Mere relief isn’t enough. Wait… Hydra is one of Typhon’s nine sons. In that case, perhaps we can give it a try… Ephemeros!”

Yao Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something.

Despite having no record of it in the database, he still called out the drowsy Ephemerus.

"Hydra? Hmm..."

Actually, they're not related to me by blood; they're just monsters created by Typhon. However, Typhon's dragon blood should be able to cure the Hydra's venom; you can give it a try.

Ephemerus spoke in a low voice.

Being woken up shortly after falling into light sleep made her somewhat upset.

"Dragon blood... I understand."

Yao used his fingernail to cut open the blood vessels in his wrist.

He poured blood into Brunhilde's mouth; Typhon's blood was already present in Yao's body.

Soon, the hydra's venom was neutralized.

Brunhilde's pained expression faded, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Yao was glad that he hadn't arrived too late.

However, Ephemerus, who was grumpy when she woke up, grinned and didn't let the opportunity pass her by.

"They are truly guilty of heinous crimes, reaping what they sowed, and are utterly evil."

To gain Typhon's power, this demigod must pay a price. You will triumph in the end, and you will fall in the end, just like Zeus, who survived both wars and spread the poison of arrogance.

Elf, do you regret making this decision?

"Ah... sadly, there isn't."

The current situation is the best I can come to. If I had to do it all over again, I would still do the same thing.

Yao did not deny his shamelessness.

If he had stayed behind to fight the beast horde with Brunhilde, the outcome wouldn't have been much better.

It's true that the two of them can kill the beasts faster, but they will still be intercepted by the arriving reinforcements.

If it gets bogged down in a long battle.

If either he or Brunhilde were poisoned, they would basically be beyond saving.

Currently, Yao has received assistance from Tifeng.

The beasts dared not approach simply because they sensed its presence; they could not possibly attack Typhon, their ancestor.

"Brynhildr knew what I was thinking, yet she still did it willingly..."

From the very beginning, Yao never considered Brunhilde as a romantic partner, but deliberately kept his distance from her.

He also openly admitted that he was using her.

He felt that his own utilitarianism was too despicable.

Therefore, we cannot deceive ourselves.

At the very least, one must be honest with Brunhilde, which is why Yao has never lied to her.

If Brunhilde were truly deceived by the word "love," that would be the greatest deception.

If Brunhilde were replaced by Krimhilde.

Na Yao would never allow her to suffer even the slightest injury.

Unfortunately, Yao only saw her as a fellow traveler, and Brunhilde's efforts were one-sided.

After all, the two hadn't spent much time together, and their interactions over those few days were limited to exchanging greetings.
