Luo Wen pushed the resistant Nami to the center of the temple, to a huge, smooth altar.
Several pillars stood around the altar, engraved with mysterious patterns and characters. Although their meaning was incomprehensible, their sheer size and beauty were evident.
It looks a bit like some kind of evil ritual performed by a sorcerer.
"Really, it's not necessary, Luo Wen!"
Nami, pushed onto the altar, was still struggling.
She never wanted to make Luo Wen pay an exorbitant price to grant her immortality.
Upon seeing this strange and mysterious altar, she became even more resistant. Her instinct for survival made her say no to things she didn't understand.
Or rather, her timid side resurfaced.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is genuinely good stuff, why are you making it sound like a cult?"
Luo Wen held down the struggling Nami and said speechlessly.
These aesthetically pleasing characters and patterns are the result of the Third Magic knowledge being explained through the Einzbern family's magic tradition.
If I had to put it in a way, it's like the Tsar's Ascension Disc, a wonderful thing that allows people to ascend to heaven.
"Stop being so awkward. If you keep being so awkward, I don't mind having a love battle first, and then I'll officiate your evolution ritual." Luo Wen patted Nami's ample chest and said with ill intent, "Anyway, everyone here is on our side, so it's a good opportunity to learn some new positions."
"No, no, I'll be a good boy and do as you say."
Nami immediately became obedient, hugging her chest and trembling on the altar.
Although everyone present was a close friend, and they had even tried their best together in bed.
But the level of shame she couldn't accept was that she had to perform alone with Luo Wen while her other best friends watched.
The thought of her best friend commenting on her posture made her want to yell, "Damn it!"
Seeing that Nami had completely quieted down, Luo Wen nodded in satisfaction, then said seriously, "I'm going to begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and powerful magical force surged from Luo Wen's body.
In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and the world changed color!
Magic is formless, yet at this moment it feels tangible.
An immense pressure permeated the surroundings, making all the women feel extremely oppressed.
It was like the pressure that Luo Wen when he created his Reality Marble, even stronger than that pressure.
However, with the complete completion of the Reality Marble, this pressure will only resonate within the barrier and will not affect the outside world.
"The consumption is really a bit excessive."
Luo Wen silently calculated the magic power he was outputting.
Based on the current situation, it can be deduced that the amount of magic power he consumed to complete Nami's transformation was almost the same as that used to construct this Reality Marble.
According to the magical knowledge passed down in his mind, this magical power was almost the magical reserve accumulated by a large ley line over thirty years.
That's right, it's based on the underground passage of Ryudoji Temple in the Holy Grail War.
The magical power he spent modifying a Heroic Spirit was enough to wage half a Holy Grail War!
Such consumption is truly excessive.
Fortunately, his magic power was inexhaustible, so these expenditures were nothing.
As he poured a massive amount of magic power into the altar, astonishing changes occurred.
A complex and intricate magic circle appeared on the altar, with magic flowing along its lines like mercury, radiating a beautiful and mysterious silvery-white light.
Faint silver light particles flowed into Nami's body from the magic circle, slowly transforming her from a human into another form of life.
Nami's graceful body gradually blurred, then solidified again under the influence of magic, with the newly formed part visibly more beautiful.
"How amazing, it's like transforming into a butterfly."
Robin exclaimed in amazement.
"I originally thought the process of transforming Heroic Spirit would be quite cruel, but now it looks incredibly beautiful."
Gion nodded in agreement, though a few doubts lingered in her mind.
Is immortality something that can be obtained so easily?
According to the World Government's records, even something as simple as extending lifespan involves enormous risks and suffering.
However, seeing the enormous amount of energy that Luo Wen was continuously pouring into the altar, Gion understood somewhat.
Facing the fluctuations of that energy, her only feeling was that it was vast and boundless. Even if ten Admiral were drained, they could not possibly generate enough energy for even a minute.
Therefore, immortality does not come without a price.
The cost was considerable, but it was borne entirely by Luo Wen.
Seeing the current scene, she no longer doubted the truth of what Luo Wen had said about immortality.
If this can't grant immortality, then there's no need to think about anything else.
The only thing to worry about is...
"Is this kind of energy output really possible?"
The women watched Luo Wen's actions with great concern in their eyes.
To drain the full power of ten Admiral and apply it to a single man is an impossible feat, equivalent to paying the imperial rites a thousand times a day.
Fortunately, seeing that Luo Wen remained calm and did not collapse to his knees, their tense mood eased somewhat.
Luo Wen, who has always presented himself as reliable, will likely be fine this time as well.
Nami, inside the magic circle, was actually not having an easy time either, or rather, she was having an excessively easy time.
"What a strange feeling, why does transforming Heroic Spirit cause this!"
Nami blushed and bit her lip to keep herself from making any shameful sounds.
It was as if Luo Wen had stripped her naked and given her a thorough massage from head to toe.
A tingling, numb sensation spread through her, and she could no longer suppress it.
Nami managed to cast a mournful glance at Luo Wen.
Under the curious gazes of Robin, Vivi, and the other women, he felt incredibly embarrassed.
Is this Heroic Spirit Conversion Ritual really legitimate?
Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.
A few minutes later, the blissful feeling disappeared, Nami relieved but also with a sense of loss.
Is it over?
Nami stood on the altar, stunned, still savoring the lingering afterglow of what had just happened.
This Heroic Spirit Conversion Ritual is truly quite unorthodox!
"It's finished, Nami."
Seeing that Nami hadn't moved for a while, Luo Wen couldn't help but speak up to remind her.
If it weren't for the fact that Nami seemed perfectly normal to him, he would have thought something had happened.
"Oh oh!"
Nami nodded hastily, quickly regaining her senses.
At that moment, she felt as if her body was full of energy and her whole being was refreshed.
Nami looked down, but she still couldn't see her toes; everything else looked exactly the same as before.
The only thing that disappeared was the faint mark on her left arm.
That was the mark of the former Arlong Pirates; even though she tried everything to erase it, some traces remained.
But now, it's completely gone, leaving only skin as smooth and white as milk.
"Very nice!"
Looking at her near-perfect appearance and energetic body, Nami let out a satisfied sigh.
"Come down first, there are other people waiting."
Luo Wen called Nami down from the altar and then pulled Robin up as well.
Both hands are flesh and blood; we can't favor one over the other.
"Don't you need to rest?"
Robin couldn't help but ask.
The other girls looked at him with the same concern, all quite worried about Luo Wen's health.
With such a large energy output, they were genuinely afraid that Luo Wen would collapse from exhaustion.
"Who are you underestimating? You should all know, I'm incredibly persistent."
Luo Wen pursed his lips, his expression quite relaxed.
As I've said before, his energy is inexhaustible, and these expenditures are insignificant.
Then, his magic surged once more, and the magic circle on the altar shone brightly once more.
"Oh well."
Seeing Luo Wen's expression, the women stopped trying to dissuade him.
They focused their attention on Nami, eager to know about Nami changes.
