Was It You Last Night?

"How about this?"

Gwen pricked the skin off his finger, letting a trickle of blood seep out, and then asked.

"It's very hot."

Izanami's voice seemed different, not like the discomfort of being burned, but rather carrying a strange... pleasantness...

"Well, you might have to bear with it for a bit..."

"Gwen said."

"No problem, come on."

Izanami nodded without hesitation.

Immediately, Gwen slowly slid his blood-stained fingertips across the back of the Izanami, leaving a crimson trail of blood.

Even so, when Gwen rounded a bend, the blood at the starting point was stained with that strange paleness.

"It still doesn't work..."

Looks like we need to add something extra.

Gwen shook his hand, looking at the bloodstains that had quickly turned pale after losing his support.

"Go ahead and do it. I will try my best to control the power in my body."

Izanami said sullenly.

She had buried her face in the pillow, so no one could see her expression.

But soon she heard Gwen tell her to raise her head.

Although somewhat reluctant, Izanami still raised her face, which was now flushed red, and saw Gwen standing by the bed with a towel in her hand.

"Here, take a bite, it might get a bit stimulating."

Although Gwen estimated that with Izanami's strength, she probably wouldn't need such a thing, but since she was almost losing her self-awareness, he should try to treat her as an ordinary person.

"Good."

Izanami opened his mouth, bit the folded towel, and lowered his head again.

Returning to his original position, Gwen didn't rush to drip blood again, but instead began... a massage—

Of course, the massage was just a facade; the real purpose was to use this process to allow Gwen's power to temporarily permeate Izanami's body, so that his power could temporarily coexist with Izanami's body.

When the skin on Izanami's back was flushed and glistening with moisture, Gwen drew blood again, finally leaving normal bloodstains.

Using these bloodstains as a medium, Gwen finally succeeded in etching Grace on the back of the Izanami.

However, to Gwen's slight surprise, Izanami's physical stats were unexpectedly low, even only in the three digits.

Even though the initial data for this version of Grace is not valuable for horizontal comparison, this value is still a bit low for Izanami's strength.

However, considering the influence of the void power on Izanami, and the special posture Izanami took after actually activating the power, Gwen found the result surprisingly reasonable.

In addition to his basic stats, Izanami also possesses a unique and rare skill—

The Self-Destructor swimming in the void: Those who swim in the ocean of nothingness gain the power of nothingness, but are also tainted by its color. Those who have no foothold will eventually sink into it.

Literally, it describes the current state of Izanami. Because she has gone too far down the Path of the Void and gained unparalleled power, even reaching the level of Emanator, she will eventually perish in the nothingness unless she can find a so-called "place to stand".

And the place where one can stand before the Aeon of Nihility...

Gwen pondered whether there were other interpretations to the skill description, while handing the imprint results to Izanami.

On the paper stained with blood, against the background of a strong shield and a sharp sword, were the numbers for Izanami and that special skill.

"..."

After staring for a long time, Izanami, whose complexion was still quite rosy, sighed softly—

"After seeing this, you should have a clearer understanding of my situation..."

To save a drowning person, there is also the risk of falling into the water...

She is pursuing hope and a way to defeat the Aeon of Nihility, but she has not yet reached the point where she would drag others down with her.

If it were only at the previous level, she believed that such a situation wouldn't occur.

But given the current situation... Izanami is somewhat worried that if things continue like this, Gwen might also be tainted by the color of nothingness.

"Now that you put it that way, I'm actually quite hesitant."

Gwen, then laughed—

"But I've already brought you back, Mei, and now you're telling me to give you up? Isn't that too heartless?"

"?"

Hearing this unexpected accusation, Izanami was taken aback. However, after the great stimulation, her mind was unexpectedly sharp, and she immediately understood its meaning. A smile curved her lips, and she whispered—

"Thanks."

You're welcome.

Gwen sat down on the edge of the bed with a light laugh—

"If we're going to do it, let's do it thoroughly—"

Suddenly, Gwen spoke, causing Izanami's heart to skip a beat, and he almost blurted out—

"Now?"

You Lan Dai Er is right outside...

"Otherwise what?"

I went to great lengths to 'improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis' for you."

Gwen said matter-of-factly, taking her hand, and then, under her astonished gaze, said—

"Close your eyes, sense carefully, the throbbing in your heart..."

"...

Good."

Just as Izanami was about to say that her body might not support such a thing, she realized she might have misunderstood and quickly closed her eyes, feeling both embarrassed and somewhat intrigued.

How long has it been since she experienced such a rich range of emotions?

My thoughts drifted away, as if leaving my body, rising higher and higher, passing through the clouds, and becoming a point among the countless stars in the sky.

And the sun shining brightly in the starry sky gave her numb soul a sense of comfort and peace, even reminding her of a peaceful afternoon long, long ago, a day without ghosts or rain...

Chapter 799 Was it you last night?

The warm afternoon sun gradually drifted away, and a familiar numbness crept back into my heart, but I seemed to still carry a trace of the sun's warmth with me.

Some of Izanami, who were still immersed in their Remembrance, suddenly realized that the warm past they had been cherishing was long gone.

Even so, Izanami was still somewhat unwilling to wake up—

Even if this behavior could be called weakness, for her, whose Remembrance was gradually fading, being able to recall these peaceful moments from the past was a blessing.

"Let's wait until this faint warmth dissipates..."

Lingering in the warmth of the dream and somewhat unwilling to wake up, Izanami said to himself—

"In his words, it's about living more like a human being..."

Izanami silently counted the time, wanting to imprint this feeling in his heart and let it slowly fade away.

However, after a long time, Izanami was surprised to find that the warmth had not completely faded, but lingered on his body for a long time.

"Could it be..."

Hearing the soft sound of pages turning, Izanami opened his eyes, only to be met with the somewhat blinding morning sun.

"Woke up?"

As Gwen sat on the edge of the bed flipping through a book, he looked up and saw Izanami slowly waking up, instinctively raising his hand to shield his fair skin from the glaring sunlight.

And on that pretty face that used to be a little dazed, there was now more vivid color, giving people a different feeling.

Having observed everything, Gwen calmly closed the book in his hand and placed it on the table.

"Um."

Izanami squinted and reached out the window, as if trying to grasp the sun through the window, but he couldn't feel its warmth.

In an instant, Izanami realized that although the warmth was not fake, it did not come from the star in this star system, but rather...

Tilting his head slightly, Izanami Quan met Gwen's gaze, who was leisurely scrutinizing him.

"You've exposed yourself—"

Gwen pointed to the crooked blankets covering Izanami and said.

Izanami has a good sleeping posture and no bad habits, but her actions just now still caused her to reveal her private parts.

"..."

Izanami blinked, wanting to say something, but her empty mind left her unsure of what to say. Nevertheless, she quickly pulled the blanket up.

How do you feel when you wake up?

Gwen asked with a smile.

"It feels... very warm..."

It reminds me of afternoons in my hometown.

Izanami's gaze drifted slightly as he spoke of that dream that was rapidly fading from his memory—

"There are no ghosts or gods descending from the sky, nor endless rain; the afternoon sun, accompanied by a tranquil breeze, is so pleasant that one lingers..."

Gwen didn't speak, but quietly came to the bedside, letting her know that someone was listening to her rambling about these mundane little things.

"Thank you for reminding me of these faded memories, and for being willing to listen to this rather uninteresting dream..."

Finally, Izanami came to his senses and looked at Gwen was already sitting by the bed.

"You're welcome. I should be happy that you're willing to open your heart to me."

Gwen smiled and shook his head.

"Um..."

The curve of Izanami's lips softened slightly, and he suddenly asked—

"Did you cover me with the blanket last night?"

"Do you wish it were me?"

Gwen raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked with a smile.

"...

"Yes, that's possible."

Izanami pondered for a moment and nodded.

"It seems I've missed a great opportunity."

Gwen said, feigning regret—

"After I found you asleep, I brought Bianca in."

"Thanks."

Because of respect.

"But next time we don't need to go through that trouble."

Because of trust and...

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Gwen laughed.

"Come on, let's take another nap and make up for what we missed yesterday."

"Oh..."

Izanami chuckled softly and shook his head, saying—
