Chapter 919: Serious Problem?
Chapter 919: Serious Problem?
If Vaan had not seen Ruby besides Topaz and Emerald, he would have suspected ten years had passed instead of ten days. After all, their evolution was just too great.
One upgraded their element, and the other could turn into a giant.
Vaan wondered if Topaz and Emerald always had such evolution paths available to them or if it was only made possible with the life energy from the Profound Pearl of Life.
Of the two possibilities, he leaned towards the latter.
After all, it wasn't just simply life energy; it was life-attribute mana, and mana was easily subjected to changes when influenced by a strong will.
Did Topaz and Emerald have such a strong desire that caused them to evolve the way they did? Vaan didn't give it too much thought; he could slowly find out after talking to his spirits. After he took the three spirits back into his body, he could immediately sense their joy. It was like entering a new estate that was made just for them.
As such, the three spirits excitedly started exploring their new spiritual homes.
Meanwhile, shortly after checking on the three spirits' emotional states, Vaan shifted his attention to another matter.
It took him ten days to forge the divine body, but that also meant Valefor had free reign for ten days. It was hard to imagine what kind of mess he would make if he left him be for too long.
Although Vaan didn't actually care if Valefor made a mess, he only cared if it was something The had to clean up.
It was hard to imagine what Valefor had done when he hadn't been paying attention. Nevertheless, Vaan didn't decide to recreate Valefor's personality because he only wanted to satisfy the Lord of Chaos's wish; he did it because he also wanted to observe the different possibilities and opportunities created by his contrasting choices.
It was an experiment to see whether logical choices were always the best ones or bold, decisive choices that take on risks.
Shortly after Vaan exited the Profound Pearl of Life, he found himself in an unfamiliar cave. At the same time, Valefor also glanced back at him.
Valefor thought he had already forgiven Vaan since he managed to obtain blessings out of a disaster.
However, the moment he saw Vaan's face, all his anger resurged, and sparks of lightning emanated from his body.
"Bastard, you still have the gall to see me? If you were going to attract heavenly punishment, you should have at least told me! How dare you make me your meatshield without a word of warning!" Valefor spat while gnashing his teeth.
Ding!

"Oh?" Vaan uttered with surprise before waving his hand at Valefor in an amusing yet girly manner, "Oh, stop it. You're making me blush."
"What kind of shit is even that," Valefor stared back at Vaan with disgust, making him laugh in turn.
Vaan found it amusing that Valefor would be such a complicated person. He certainly stirred a lot of feelings.
Who knew Valefor would feel grateful under his cold façade?
Was he a masochist?
After shaking his head, Vaan casually replied, "Don't act like you didn't gain anything out of the Divine Damnation. It couldn't hurt you, and it even helped you advance to the Half-step Divine Lord level and acquire lightning power."
"What more do you want? Other Me, could it be that you just want my attention?" Vaan asked slyly.
"Are you trying to disgust me to death?!" Valefor bellowed loudly.
However, he could do nothing else but coldly snort after Vaan pointed out exactly how he had benefited from the Divine Damnation.
"You know what, Other Me? I think you have a serious problem that we need to address," Vaan suddenly changed the topic.
"I have a serious problem?" Valefor sneered with contempt, not believing Vaan's words. However, seeing the latter wore such a solemn look, he slowly added, "I don't know what shit you are trying to pull now, but I'll listen to it at least."
"So, tell me. What serious problem do I have?" Valefor urged.
"You have lived far longer than I have in this current life," Vaan seriously mentioned before saying, "Have you never fancied a single woman? You can tell me. I don't want to snatch the woman of a brother accidentally."
"What need have I for a woman? And who the hell is your brother?" Valefor glanced at Vaan with disdain.
"See! This is a serious problem!" Vaan pretended not to notice Valefor's disdain as he hammered his palm and said, "You don't fancy any woman, and you don't want to be my
brother. Perhaps you wanted something more?"
"Alas, don't worry. While this is a serious problem, it is also a very easy fix. Look, when I snap my fingers, you will forget you were ever gay," Vaan stated with a reassuring look.
Snap!
Valefor's mind went blank for a moment as if it had just short-circuited. Shortly after, he
stared at Vaan with a dumb look.
"But I was never gay?"
"Mm..."
Vaan nodded with a satisfied smile, acting as if his finger-snapping spell had worked. Valefor almost coughed up blood in anger on the spot.
"I said I was never fucking gay!!"
"Of course, if you say so."
Valefor furiously defended his innocence, and Vaan calmly agreed with him. However, that only enraged him further. He had fallen for a goddamn trap. He shouldn't have expected Vaan
to say anything serious to him.
How can his other self be so infuriating?
"I am going to fuck your mother!"
"My mother is also your mother!"
Valefor almost fainted from anger on the spot. He was only using figurative speech, but his other self took it quite literally. He realized it was meaningless to engage his other self in a
battle of words.
He would only lose.
The only way he could win was to overwhelm the other party with his superior strength. His other self needed to be taught a painful lesson before he could behave himself.
Nevertheless, Vaan sensed that Valefor would really try to strike him.
Out of reflex, he struck first with a right-hand uppercut fist, swift like the wind and hard like a
mountain.
Peng!
The brute strength of a hundred million jins immediately sent the unprepared Valefor smashing through the cave ceiling and countless layers of mountain rocks before his body
soared into the sky.
However, it was also at that moment that Valefor realized Vaan's true intention - He wanted
a sparring partner to test his strength!
"You fucking bastard! If you want to spar, just ask me! Why do you have to use such a
roundabout and infuriating method?!"
Valefor's furious voice in the sky resounded through the new mountain tunnel.
