Divine Beast Bailey

As Lei Mo continued his observations, he discovered that Bailey's size eventually settled at a diameter of about sixty centimeters.

Its color had turned a bit bluer, though it remained a pale blue hue. After fading from sight, its shadow became even fainter, and its elasticity improved as well.

And then, nothing else happened. Lei Mo was speechless; what happened to the promised increase in essence blood? You could at least give me a few drops!

"Master's Master, could you give me some of that golden liquid?" Bailey pleaded with Lei Mo.

"For the sake of how cute you look, I'll satisfy you!"

Lei Mo took out the golden liquid and dripped it onto Bailey one drop at a time. Since it likely didn't have a mouth, this was probably the correct way to feed it.

When he reached the thirty-something drop, with not even one ten-thousandth of the golden blood consumed, a set of Laws of the World descended!

"Damn, this—this is too absurd. Just like that, it's done?"

Lei Mo was beyond the point of complaining.

A grand, boundless, ancient, and soul-shaking peculiar power descended upon Bailey.

A special ripple penetrated deep into Bailey's body, peering into its soul, where a deep blue bead radiating a misty aura floated silently in the ocean of its soul, spinning round and round as if it would never stop.

Above Bailey, an aura of Laws rapidly condensed, and a large amount of cyan energy from the surroundings also gathered quickly, eventually condensing into a single point before the Laws of the World dissipated.

A black crystal emitting a cyan light floated beside Bailey.

Lei Mo had already urgently instructed Bailey to choose to become a god outside its body.

A few seconds later, a scream echoed through the air!

Then, waves of cyan divine power condensed on the black crystal, slowly forming a chubby little figure about 1.2 meters tall.

It had pale blue hair and large, watery eyes; the proportions of those eyes on its face were particularly exaggerated.

It looked a bit like a child from a cartoon, a cute little thing that no woman could refuse.

"Whoosh!" Bailey's spherical original form vanished, presumably appearing within its soul ocean.

"Master's Master, I really shouldn't have listened to you. That hurt so much!"

Bailey's dissatisfied voice came directly from its mouth.

"What do you know? An extra divine clone is an extra life. How do you know you don't have talent for other Laws or Rules? Even if you don't, you've preserved your Saint-level original body, which means you've kept one life and kept the possibilities alive."

Lei Mo sternly criticized Bailey for its fear of pain!

"Fine! You're always right!" Bailey couldn't win against Lei Mo and decisively conceded.

"Alright, now tell me, what is your innate divine ability?"

Since it had become a god directly, it was undoubtedly a divine beast.

"Hmm, I can feel what this innate divine ability is, but I can't use it?"

Bailey said pitifully, its aggrieved little expression and chubby, stout figure radiating cuteness from every angle!

"There's such a situation? What kind of operation is an innate divine ability you can't use?"

Lei Mo was a bit confused.

"Describe what you're feeling in detail," Lei Mo asked.

"Hmm, I feel like this innate divine ability of mine requires someone else to attack me before I can use it!" Bailey said.

"A passive skill?" Lei Mo asked.

"What is a passive skill, Master's Master?"

Bailey gave him a puzzled little look.

"It means you can only use it when someone else hits you," Lei Mo said.

"Oh, yes. When someone hits me, through the vibrations of my body and soul, I can amplify the attack and reflect it back. Whoever attacks me is guaranteed to get it back! It ignores distance!"

Bailey said calmly. As expected, the Master's Master knew everything.

"Although this ability doesn't seem strong at first glance, it's terrifying once your strength is high enough!"

"I just don't know if it consumes a lot of soul energy."

"Why don't we try it and find out?"

Bailey said nonchalantly.

Lei Mo raised Franklin and, using all his strength excluding the Law of Destruction, hammered down hard on Bailey.

A ripple surged across Bailey's body.

"Boom—" In an instant, a massive force sent Lei Mo flying.

"Bang—" With a thud, Lei Mo flew out several hundred meters, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Pfft—" He spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling slightly relieved in his heart.

"Damn it—"

He had almost been killed by his own attack. Shouldn't the reflected attack have gone to Franklin instead?

Lei Mo discarded Franklin immediately after his attack, only managing to dodge a few dozen meters before the counterattack arrived.

"This innate divine ability is quite interesting!"

Lei Mo was coughing up blood, yet he still didn't forget to posture; he was truly one of a kind.

Closing his eyes to sense it, the intensity of the physical attack had at least doubled, though he wondered about the consumption.

"About one-twentieth of my total soul energy, and since I have just become a deity, my soul energy will continue to increase."

Perhaps sensing Lei Mo's thoughts, Bailey spoke up directly.

"That consumption is considered very low. Forget it, I won't test the soul attack!"

It was indeed difficult for Lei Mo to test; he feared being killed outright by the rebounding Soul Annihilation if he didn't hide inside Franklin's Soul Space.

If he did hide, he wouldn't be able to gauge the intensity of the rebounding attack, so he decided to let it go.

This way, he had two god-level combatants at his disposal, and Bailey was the type he could deploy at any time.

"Bailey, you should have a fair amount of essence blood or ordinary blood in your body now, right?"

Lei Mo asked Bailey, as there were truly no more water-type Magic Beasts left in the Seti Mountains, not even in the Seti Sea!

"Master's master, essence blood is still very scarce, but if you give me ten drops of your fresh blood, I should be able to generate one drop of essence blood."

Bailey spoke with a shy, or perhaps embarrassed, demeanor; no master would be happy if a Magic Beast coerced them like this.

"That's a bargain? Essence blood isn't cabbage! Ten drops of my ordinary blood can be exchanged for one drop of essence blood?"

Lei Mo remained skeptical, but he still gave Bailey several hundred drops of blood, his entire face turning pale.

After extracting a dozen drops of essence blood from Bailey, the beast's spirit withered rapidly.

But according to Bailey, with Lei Mo's fresh blood, his foundation would not be damaged.

It was just that the generation of essence blood was very slow; after extracting these dozen drops, it would be impossible to have more in the short term.

Combined with herbs, these are definitely enough to tattoo a rune for Rachel! Lei Mo thought.

There was no need to look for a water-type Saint-level Magic Beast anymore; what Saint-level beast could compare to the essence blood of a water-type divine beast?

Lei Mo estimated that Bailey had become a deity through the Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness; the abilities were too similar, and he didn't ask Bailey because he wouldn't know even if he did.

Lei Mo pointed the way, and Bailey expanded his Divine Domain, returning to the royal capital, Padon City, in half a day.

Having not seen Lei Mo for over a month, Rachel took small, light steps and threw herself into Lei Mo's embrace.

"Lord Duke!"

Rachel hugged Lei Mo's sturdy waist before letting go!

"Quickly, prepare a bath for the Lord Duke!"

As the orders went out, the staff of the Duke's mansion sprang into action.

Rachel returned to Lei Mo's side, nestled into his arms, and recounted the various small and large matters of the royal mansion from the past month.

In Lei Mo's eyes, those were all trivialities; holding Rachel's slightly petite frame, stroking the top of her head, and breathing in her scent, his appetite was suddenly whetted.

He scooped up Rachel and rushed into the bathroom, where hot water and bathing supplies were already prepared.

Lei Mo carried Rachel horizontally and stepped slowly into the pool.

As for Lei Mo's small bovine hooves, which clearly bore beast-kin characteristics, it was perfectly normal for someone from the chaotic regions to have barbarian or beast-kin bloodlines!
