Chapter 362: The Fountain of Youth (19)
Grant was cautious by nature. Although Everly also had a fragment of the meteorite, and he had stolen her memories and knew exactly where that fragment had come from, the key he submitted was the one he himself had placed inside the wooden box.
This alone was enough to show that, aside from himself, Grant trusted no one.
The guard took the stone into its chest cavity. After scanning it, it gestured toward Grant, indicating that he could proceed.
“You are authorized to ascend the stairs.”
Grant nodded at the robot. Everly could feel her body curl its lips into a smile.
He was in an excellent mood.
The troublesome witch was dead, her body reduced to ashes. Within the mental world, the remnants of Everly’s consciousness had also undergone extensive assimilation. And before him, the staircase leading to the heavens lay open. Before long, he would finally obtain the immortality he had dreamed of for so long…
Aside from the fact that his new body was the wrong sex, there was probably nothing in this world left that could trouble him.
And Grant’s ability was precisely the power to change bodies. As long as he took enough of the Fountain of Youth’s water with him, he could simply find a new body after leaving and switch into one that better suited his preferences.
