Chapter 344: Eighty-First Floor, Starfish (4)
The moment Starfish revealed her true name, my divinity stirred.
The energy of the yokai embedded in Gehenna began to peel away, unraveling from within. My lightning-infused divinity seeped into her, saturating her from the inside out and purging the divinity nestled in her core.
Of course, the pre-existing energy resisted, but the gap in purity was overwhelming. The source of Gehenna’s previous energy was forced to stay away, while I was right there. Therefore, I simply suppressed it by force.
Gehenna’s crimson hair slowly began to shimmer gold. It didn’t transform completely, but rather took on a reddish-gold hue.
The changes weren’t merely superficial. The once-ominous aura radiating from her had also shifted. The energy she emitted seemed more like lightning, fierce, rather than malevolent.
“Ah!”
Yet even then, the transmission of divinity did not end. It surged through Gehenna and reached the child behind her. The divinity stripped away her previous energy, that of a monk and a yokai, and changed her appearance. Half of the energy she now emitted mirrored Gehenna’s reddish-gold hue, but the other half took on a different tone.
The former pale shade now glimmered blue-gold, just like mine.
Hmm.
A strange feeling settled in my chest.
She wasn’t my daughter, but we were now connected by divinity. Her aura had even adopted the very same color. It felt as if she looked like me.
The emotion that welled up was unexpected.
