Chapter 883: Chapter 275 [Crimson Decay Vital Blood Vessel]_4
“…”
Leonard Churchill realized the blood vessel issue was very tricky as he listened.
He yanked the blood vessels out of his chest with one tug.
Beyond the initial jolt, the twisting vessels seemed to lack offensive capabilities. They writhed in Leonard’s hand, sticking to his skin and corroding with a sizzling sound.
Leonard felt like he was holding a live grenade with the pin pulled out. It wasn’t an option to throw it away, nor was it right to keep holding it.
He asked, “Is this blood vessel a living thing?”
...
Tracy Garcia replied, “You could think of it as… um… something like the twitching nerves of some demon beasts after they die, not quite dead. Only, it’s neither living nor dead. Nor does it possess consciousness or spirituality. Its aggressive behavior is merely a conditioned reflex.”
The more Leonard heard, the deeper his frown became. “So, how do we deal with it?”
Tracy Garcia said, “Currently, there’s no way to deal with this Divine Material. Whether destroying or sealing it, both are huge risks. If it were me, I might consider throwing it into the Underworld.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Leonard, then added, “However, setting aside the contamination, this is after all Divine Material, also considered a supreme treasure. It can be part of a divine body, naturally it can become part of a human too. People in ancient times have done this before… To my knowledge, the ancient line of God Stealers, card masters, specialized in such dangerous practices. However… that requires a very specific handling. It’s probably lost now.”
Clearly, these blood vessels were also a problem for her.
Upon hearing this, Leonard suddenly thought of Sophia Jones, who had just received the legacy of the White family’s ancestors. Maybe she could handle it?
Seeing that the blood vessel seemed to pose no threat to himself,
he asked, “Can it be preserved? I know someone who might be able to deal with it.”
Tracy Garcia was curious about who he was referring to but did not ask further. She replied, “I can seal it temporarily. But I don’t have a Containment Card on hand that can withstand this kind of material.”
Upon hearing this, Leonard felt like the blood vessel was turning out to be quite problematic to deal with.
Suddenly, Tracy Garcia had an idea, “How about… I seal it inside your body for now?”
Leonard was taken aback by this outlandish suggestion and instinctively said, “Is that possible?”
Tracy Garcia replied, “Of course. You won’t be contaminated, and theoretically, sealing this Divine Material inside you is beneficial rather than harmful. It can even enhance you with some Extraordinary Traits.”
Leonard truly learned something new, “It can be like that?”
“Yes,”
Tracy Garcia said, “Many card master Sequences have similar abilities. For example, the Demon God Secret Skill of the ‘Diamonds 6 – Outlaw Madman,’ called ‘Heavenly King’s Curse Body,’ involves sealing various malevolent spirits within the body to enhance one’s combat power… Spirit Communicators also have a similar Secret Skill that allows them to seal spiritual bodies or even demon beasts within themselves. And my ‘God-Controlling Court’ specializes in such Sealing, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Leonard thought of Reuel Bible; so those malevolent spirit tattoos all over his body worked using this principle.
Since it was possible, he simply said, “Then please proceed.”
It didn’t matter whether it was useful or not; first, he’d get it sealed.
If it didn’t work out, he could always discard it later.
Tracy Garcia nodded her head, “Okay.”
….
The vampires hiding in the blood pool, planning to catch a group of people by surprise with their “Divine Blood Vessels,” had never anticipated meeting someone completely immune to contamination.
Quite coincidentally, Leonard Churchill inexplicably solved this deadly hidden danger.
Tracy Garcia took action, and the lively “blood vessel” was quickly sealed within his body.
There were no negative effects.
Only, some crimson patterns appeared on his arm, slightly hot to the touch, as if they were continuously contaminating his body.
But for Leonard, this was a good thing.
As soon as the blood vessel was sealed, the previously strong contamination of the blood pool dropped dramatically, like a tree cut from its roots, its Transcendent Traits sucked away in an instant.
What was expected to take over an hour to absorb, and also required guarding against various unknown risks, was now accomplished in just half an hour.
The moment the blood vessel was sealed, the array could collapse at any moment.
This progress was a far better outcome than expected.
The pressure on those fighting the vampires outside would be greatly reduced.
And Tracy Garcia wouldn’t need to protect Leonard.
“How’s the situation outside?”
“I’ve summoned the ‘Moon Knight Legion’; they know they cannot kill me, and will likely choose to give up,” she replied.
“…”
The situation suddenly brightened up.
Leonard also guessed what the Orlan Royal Court people were planning.
They hadn’t shown up yet, probably waiting for Barre Shepherd and his team to be greatly weakened in the fight against the vampires, before stepping in to clean up.
But now, due to Leonard’s unintended interference, the fierce battle that was supposed to last much longer concluded prematurely.
Soon, without enough Blood Media to sustain it, a cracking sound of breaking stones was heard, and a crack suddenly appeared on the altar.
This Crimson Altar had opened up.
Without the array’s support, the Blood Mist that shrouded the city began to dissipate quickly under the sunlight.

Vampires exposed to the sunlight started to spontaneously combust.
Those that were lucky enough to survive scurried into the earth, pursued chaotically by Barre Shepherd and a group of card masters.
These Ancient God Devotees had lost any chance of turning the tables.
Once the Mysterious Realm closed, all Ancient God Devotees would be wiped out, becoming part of the realm’s monstrous inhabitants.
Tracy Garcia let out a huge sigh of relief.
Her mission was to destroy this Crimson Altar.
Due to Leonard’s intervention, the process had been much easier than expected, and a fatal crisis was averted.
However, at the moment the altar shattered, and Leonard had just let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly remembered something, “Wait! What about that jar?”
