I'm not just human!

Chapter 206 The Shocking Secret Within the Solar Volcano!

Chapter 206 The Shocking Secret Within the Solar Volcano!

"That's interesting—"

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa fell into deep thought.

So, could it be that this former Doll Queen named Heather Pelia knows her origins?

Xia Fa had always been deeply curious about his origins, or rather, what exactly he was.

Even now, after reading many books on mysticism and experiencing many mystical events firsthand, he still has no clue what he is or whether he is human.

In fact, I haven't seen a single related or similar record.

And now, this Heatherpolia seems to know something—

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt a surge of anticipation for the Endless Realm journey that would take place a month later.

"Wait a minute, so when Bennett finishes her training and comes back, she'll be a demigod?"

"And he's a demigod who has mastered the first seven swords of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End?"

The Twelve Divine Swords of the End are a sword technique created by the God of Puppetry.

Now that his understanding of the extraordinary world has deepened, Xia Fa vaguely speculates that the God of Puppets is most likely an Outer God!

From gods, outward gods, and true gods—even among the gods, the puppet god is second only to the nine true gods!

The swordsmanship created by an Outer God, and which can only be practiced by the most talented among the puppet girls of his own race, makes it easy to imagine how incredible the power of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End is and how many unfathomable wonders they possess.

Putting aside everything else, just the few techniques I know—"Spellbreaker" and "Pulsebreaker"—if Beneath, now a demigod, were to use them, she might be able to confront angels head-on!

"Does that mean I'm going to have a powerful partner?"

Xia Fa was pleasantly surprised when he suddenly realized this.

Currently, I can barely fight against angels. If Benedict returns, it will be equivalent to two people capable of fighting against angels.

That's enough to form a pirate crew!

Moreover, Benedict happens to know how to cook, brew wine, and clean rooms. In this case, if she learns some navigation skills, she won't even need to hire crew members to handle various tasks!

Xia Fa thought it over and over and found it feasible. He immediately decided that while making more money, he should also keep an eye out for any pirate ships worth buying, preferably those with the "Protoss Warp" function, which would also make it easier to escape in the future.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy one.

Putting aside his wandering thoughts, and seeing that there were still quite a few notes left, Xia Fa continued reading.

Hearing Heatherpuria's words, Beneath also fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she raised her little head and looked at Heatherpuria, who was in a semi-transparent soul form in the air. Her little face suddenly became solemn.

"Teacher, you absolutely have to keep this a secret!"

Heather chuckled.

"Silly child, you're already my student, and the second student in my life. The fact that you have the ball joints of the Puppet God that were removed is of great importance. How could I possibly reveal it?"

Unexpectedly, Benedict shook her head vigorously, her expression becoming even more serious on her delicate and bright face.

"That's not what I meant, teacher. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone about my master's identity and background, which might be quite unusual. I—I'm afraid he might be in danger because of it, or be targeted by some unknown entity."

Heather Perria was taken aback at first, then stared at Benedict for a long time before finally shaking her head and sighing:

"Someone as kind as you is truly rare in this era. Silly child, of course I can't say that the moment you became my disciple, we were already on the same side."

[Benise was relieved and said happily:]

"That's good! I knew you were a good person, teacher!"

[Hatherperia suddenly seemed to remember something and changed the subject:]

"When you were forming the blood soul contract with Xia Fa, did anything unusual happen?"

[He paused, seemingly worried that Benedict might be confused, and added an extra sentence:]

"Under normal circumstances, our Doll Girl clan, even if we form a blood soul contract with a being of the Sovereign rank, will not have any strange reactions. Therefore, whatever reaction you had at that time was considered an abnormal situation."

Beneath paused, as if remembering something, but then shook her head.

"Hmm—I can't remember—"

Heather Pelia sighed slightly upon seeing this, but did not pursue the matter further.

Because he understood that after the doll girl recognized her master, the person she was closest to and trusted most was her master; everyone else was an outsider in their eyes.

Even as her teacher, it would probably take years of getting to know her before I could gradually gain her trust.

"It's okay, we can talk about it later if you remember. Alright, now it's time to start the special training. Take a short rest, and once you're ready, we'll begin. Just tap the ring twice when you're ready."

Heather's tone softened further, as if she foresaw the great trials and tribulations her student would soon endure.

As soon as she finished speaking, her semi-transparent body disappeared into the obsidian ring on Benedict's index finger.

Benedict was taken aback at first, then realized that the teacher was giving her some free time and space.

[But she had slept for three whole days and was well-rested. Apart from being a little hungry, she didn't need to rest at all.]

"Let's eat some dried fish first! Hmm! Once we're full, we'll start the special training!"

Beneath became excited at the thought and immediately opened the door, where she saw a basket full of extraordinary dried fireeye snapper hanging from the doorknob.

She excitedly took it down and was about to start eating when she suddenly remembered something.

Benedict put down her beloved dried fish, opened a drawer in the table, and took out a paintbrush.

Then, she leaned over the table and carefully wrote a few lines.

"Xia Fa, if you have time to look through my training notes and see this sentence, don't worry about me. I'm going to do some special training for a few days, maybe ten days or so. In short, I'll be back soon~"

"And—I miss you."

"Huh, why is it painted black?"

Xia Faben was about to continue reading when he suddenly noticed that dozens of lines of the notes had been crossed out after that sentence.

It seems that after leaving those words and finishing her dried fish, Benedict officially began her special training.

The content of the special training needed to be kept secret, so it wasn't shown in Benedict's training notes.

Of course, it's also possible that Heather, as the former Doll Queen and a ruler, took Beneath to a secret area of ​​extremely high rank, causing Beneath's training notes to be of insufficient quality to record anything.

"Never mind, let's ask Benedict when she gets back. Anyway, with a former Doll Queen watching the whole time, there shouldn't be any danger—"

To be honest, after reading Benedict's training notes, Shafa breathed a sigh of relief.

This silly doll girl not only didn't encounter any danger, but also had an enviable adventure, which is really quite remarkable.

As for the strange situation that happened when Beneath recognized her as her master, which Heather mentioned at the end, "I remember she bit me, that should have been the formation of the blood soul contract, and then she seemed to suddenly faint?"

At the time, Xia Fa didn't think anything was strange and assumed it was a normal reaction from the doll girl after she recognized her master.

Unexpectedly, according to Heather Perria, even if the doll girls recognize a ruler as their master, they will not show any abnormality.

After Beneath acknowledged him as her master, she immediately fainted.

"Heather Perria must know something. Hmm—when we go to the Endless Realm, or if Benedict returns with that obsidian ring, I'll definitely ask her—"

Since Heather was on their side, Shafa wasn't too worried.

Even if there are any problems, as long as I sign the third overlord-level secret contract and have the strength to confront the ruler head-on, I naturally don't need to be afraid of a soul left behind by a ruler in the world.

After putting away her notes, Xia Fa, who was preparing to go to sleep, found herself unable to fall asleep. She didn't know if it was because she was genuinely happy for Benedict's adventure, which had excited her sympathetic nervous system.

After thinking it over, Xia Fa decided to simply divine the situation around the Sun Volcano. He had previously inquired about the fact that Captain Hook possessed a sealed artifact that protected him from divination and prying into secrets. Combined with his angelic status, this made it extremely difficult for him to succeed in divining.

That's why he chose to spend 30,000 yuan to buy the location information of Captain Hook; otherwise, he would have claimed it himself long ago.

But now, having learned Captain Hook's location through the intelligence we bought, things are different.

Although he still couldn't capture Captain Hook, Xia Fa suddenly realized that he could directly take control of the area around the Solar Volcano!

In this way, while occupying the area around the Sun Volcano, one can also obtain some information about Captain Hook's activities, cleverly circumventing the limitation of not being able to occupy Captain Hook.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Xia Fa decided to do it right away. He took out the simple divination stone, held it in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and rested his head on the soft pillow.

By imagining various terrifying beings of high status, Xia Fa successfully summoned two strange currents from the spine and injected them into the simple divination stone.

At the same time, various information about the solar volcano also appeared in the simple divination stone in the form of cryptic texts formed from living iron powder.

The Simple Divination Stone already contains the Star Silver Pillar and a large amount of living iron powder that Xia Fa put in. Therefore, when divination, one can simply use extraordinary power to mobilize them and condense them into secret texts. Compared to the previous divination, it is much more convenient.

Suddenly, Xia Fa felt the entire cabin shudder, and then he involuntarily opened his eyes.

Looking around, he found himself no longer in the swaying cabin, but on a vast, blue sea. The sea breeze was blowing, the sun was shining brightly and warmly, and the seawater was shrouded in mist. But Xia Fa couldn't feel any of this, because he had now turned into a glowing white sphere.

"This divination is getting more and more realistic, it almost made me think I've traveled through time again," Xia Fa muttered, focusing his attention on the area below the sea level.

Even though it was daytime and close to noon, he could still see a dazzling golden light shining down a thousand meters below the sea level.

It was as if the sun had fallen into the seabed, illuminating everything around it.

The light even pierced through the water's surface, forming shimmering golden rays on the sea.

Now that he was in a subordinate position, Xia Fa simply had a thought and immediately eliminated the influence of the golden light on his vision, allowing him to see the true situation on the seabed.

It was a volcano, an active volcano, but instead of spewing lava like a typical underwater volcano, it continuously emitted strands of golden light.

It was this golden light that illuminated the seabed over a range of thousands of kilometers.

Strangely, the seabed within a radius of several thousand kilometers was covered only with fine sand; not a single fish could be seen, and there wasn't even any seaweed.

Xia Fa understood that this was because the golden light contained extreme heat and a terrifying poison—a special kind of "magma."

If this solar volcano had continued to erupt for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it would have been possible for marine life or supernatural marine creatures to have evolved in the surrounding area.

However, the Sun Volcano only recently became active again after being dormant, which has led to the surrounding seabed becoming almost completely barren and devoid of vegetation.

After all, no marine life can withstand the high temperature and toxicity of golden magma at the same time.

These golden magma slowly spread in the sea, but strangely, they did not cancel each other out with the seawater; instead, they gradually sank into the fine sand on the seabed.

Then, the crater of the solar volcano will erupt new streams of golden lava.

Xia Fa observed quietly. As long as his mental energy wasn't exhausted, he could keep waiting for the scene of Captain Zhong Gouzi appearing.

Suddenly, a strange suction force emanated from the solar volcano.

Xia Fa didn't want to care, because he was in a "possessed" state, and essentially, he was only seeing what had happened in the past, which was like watching a holographic movie.

Therefore, even if the solar volcano erupts with a powerful suction force, it will at most suck away the surrounding seawater and fine sand, and will not affect it in the slightest.

But then, something extremely strange happened!

Xia Fa suddenly realized that the luminous sphere formed from his spirit, which was actually his mental body, was—

Drawn by that inexplicable suction force, it flew uncontrollably toward the crater of the Sun Volcano!

This is simply unprecedented, even more exaggerated than when a blonde beauty with fiery red lips, a slender waist, and long legs suddenly appears in a movie and insists on sleeping with you!

After all, I'm just watching a video from the past, so why would the video affect my mind?

Without much hesitation, Xia Fa immediately imagined the feeling of falling and wanted to cut off the possession immediately.

But the next moment, he was startled and felt his body go cold.

Unable to cut!

This divination couldn't sever the connection?!

Xiafa immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If his mental body was damaged, and since he was only an Eagle-level superhuman, not an angel or a ruler, he would not be able to reassemble his soul and will like angels and rulers. In that case, he would become an empty shell with only a body and no soul!

He tried several more times, but still couldn't break the hold at all!

Immediately afterwards, he watched as his mental entity, transformed into a glowing sphere, was drawn by the powerful attraction and roared into the crater of the solar volcano.

He was enveloped in extreme heat, surrounded by scorching golden magma, the potent poison making him dizzy and disoriented.

But the next moment, Xia Fa was startled, and then overjoyed.

Because, in that golden lava, he saw—
