Chapter 1300 A few months
“Oh yes, it sounds lovely!” Nemo said excitedly. “I’ll travel around with Liz, see the world, fight bad guys, save good guys and make lots of friends. It’ll be just like those TV shows Z gave me to watch.”
Lex froze. Z had given Nemo a collection of anime to watch, which had no doubt affected how he saw reality. Unfortunately, it was unlikely that Nemo could face off against a Dao Lord using the power of friendship, as the anime characters did, but thankfully at least Liz had a steady head on her shoulders.
The incredible foresight and caution that she showed when Lex was following her set his mind at ease. Even if she went out, she would be incredibly careful about displaying her power, and would not attract undue attention.
That put his mind at ease. Besides, he was genuinely glad that Nemo would no longer feel so lonely, and that Liz would grow stronger as well. The stronger his family became, the less he’d have to worry about them.
“Alright then, you guys go ahead. I’ve let the Inn staff know that you are undergoing bonding here, so no one will bother you.”
“It’s just a normal bonding process. It doesn’t take long,” said Liz, unaware of the massive flag she just raised. Lex, too, did not point it out to her first because he did not believe in such things, and second because he had no problem with Liz spending a long time inside the Inn for whatever reason.
“Alright then, before we start, we need to go somewhere secluded as there can be no disturbances…”
Liz had not even completed her sentence when an entire building appeared all around her, completely isolating all sounds and distractions from outside, leaving only a small opening where Nemo was sticking its head out of the Cosmic Sea.
This was not a result of Lex using his Host Attire to summon a room, rather it was him using his right eye to set multiple formations around them. Most of the formation was outside the sea, since the Cosmic Sea would erode and eat away anything within it. Maybe once he got stronger, he’d find a way to figure things out.
“You can begin. No one will disturb you,” Lex said casually, fully aware that he was showing off. Unfortunately, Liz only had eyes for Nemo at the moment – though internally she compared Lex to all the immortals she had seen back in the Williams family. It seemed that none of them were this capable, right?
Liz cut the palm of her hands and began her Beast Master cultivation technique. Lex, careful not to look at Nemo, activated his left eye as he studied Liz. He had never heard of the Beast Master cultivation before, nor had he encountered someone who used it. Maybe that was because it was an unorthodox cultivation method, or perhaps the benefits were not as great as traditional cultivation.
He wanted to understand what it was all about, because based on what Liz had told him, it seemed like she would fuse with her bonded beast whenever she needed to, achieving a stronger state. She could literally go around saying ‘this is not even my final form’ without lying.
Lex saw as several laws began to act all around her. This was not her influencing laws, but was the normal operation of laws when any kind of change occurred. Water freezing would induce such a change from associated laws, just as a glass breaking would as well.
Strictly speaking, this was a manifestation of the laws maintaining the standard operation of the universe. Everything in existence was mired in laws, and it was only through the corresponding changes of various laws happening at the same time that brought about the exact day to day occurrences that people normally experienced.
Although Lex still had no foundation in Beast Master cultivation, he was studying the underlying principles that allowed it to happen. Who knew, if he mastered them then maybe he could fuse with Fenrir too?
But Lex was actually not interested in fusing with Fenrir, or any other beast for that matter. He just wanted to understand what was happening.
Still shrouded by Domination, Liz was able to approach Nemo without issue. But the next step, which involved touching the fish, would bypass the protection of the aura. Aware that the influence of Nemo’s body might stun her, she prepared the technique as best as she could before making contact.
In truth, she was supposed to complete the technique after making contact, but the moment Liz touched Nemo her mind blanked out. Though she was awake, she completely lost the ability to think, and became akin to a waking vegetable.
The technique, however, continued to operate on its own, as if she was still driving it. After all, Nemo wanted the technique to operate properly and come into full effect, so how could it not? Lex had to disable his left eye’s analytical ability at that point, and just watched as both Liz and Nemo began shining in white.
He was reminded of an anime he used to watch that had animals similar to beasts that underwent evolutions. Every time the beasts in that anime evolved, their body was covered in a white light, leaving only their outlines visible. Liz and Nemo were in a similar situation.
Based on his extensive experience messing with things he definitely shouldn’t, and putting universal scale treasures inside his body, Lex estimated that it would take at least a few months for the bonding process to finish.
He teleported away to his office, and then put up countless barriers all around the area Liz and Nemo were. Once everything was done, Lex teleported over to Cassandra. He was a busy man, it was important to keep up with all his tasks.
Although going to the Crystal realm wasn’t an urgent task for him, the fact that he kept thinking about it meant that his instincts were guiding him to it. In that case, it was best to make haste.
