Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Conversion Into Hybrid
Only then did they learn that Silas had been gravely injured by the superior beings.
Fear immediately rose inside their hearts.
Still, alongside that fear came furious anger.
After all, among everyone they had met, Ivy was the one who had constantly treated them kindly.
And now, seeing so much pain in her eyes made rage boil violently inside them.
Meanwhile, Ivy herself looked calm on the surface, but inside her heart, a storm of fury was raging uncontrollably.
If she claimed she was not furious, it would have been the biggest lie imaginable.
At that moment, she truly wanted to destroy the entire planet where the superior beings lived.
Every single one of them.
However, despite the hatred burning inside her chest, she forcefully suppressed it and focused entirely on Silas.
Right now, nothing mattered more than saving him. She desperately hoped Alana’s healing ability would work.
Unfortunately, to her horror, it showed almost no effect.
The realization instantly caused panic to spread through Ivy’s body.
She could already feel it. Silas’s life force was slowly slipping away.
His breathing was becoming weaker and weaker with every passing second.
At that moment, Ivy suddenly remembered something she never wished to recall again.
A horrifying flashback surfaced inside her mind.
She remembered Silas dying in her arms once before.
She did not want to witness that nightmare ever again.
Tears immediately gathered in her trembling eyes as she tightly hugged his wounded body.
"Please... please don’t leave me again..."
Her voice was filled with unbearable pleading and fear.
Hearing her like this caused everyone present to feel their hearts tightening painfully. Even Moona and Maxi lowered their heads silently while Alana bit her lip hard.
Meanwhile, inside Ivy’s mind, only one thought remained.
’If Silas dies today... Then I will die alongside him. I don’t want to continue living anymore. I don’t want to see this world anymore.’
As those thoughts filled her heart, she hugged him even tighter as if she feared he would disappear the moment she loosened her grip.
Suddenly, Temporal Storage’s calm voice echoed inside her mind.
[If you truly wish to heal him, I may have a solution.]
Ivy immediately lifted her head. "Tell me!"
The storage answered calmly.
[His injuries are not ordinary injuries. They were caused by attacks infused with the energy of superior beings.]
Hearing those words, Ivy instantly understood everything.
All of those attacks had carried the power of superior beings within them.
That foreign energy was now lingering inside Silas’s body and continuously preventing normal healing.
To heal him properly, they needed someone capable of using superior being energy as well.
Unfortunately, Silas himself was the only one among them who possessed healing abilities.
And now he was unconscious. Ivy hurriedly asked inside her mind,
"Is there any superior being nearby with healing powers?"
For a brief moment, hope appeared inside her eyes.
Unfortunately, Temporal Storage’s next words made her entire body turn cold.
[No. There is currently no superior being near you who possesses healing abilities.]
The hope inside Ivy’s heart instantly sank.
However, before despair could completely consume her, Temporal Storage continued speaking.
[Still, there is another method. If someone who already possesses exceptional healing abilities and is then transformed into a hybrid superior being, they would gain access to superior energy as well.]
[Although they would initially rank among the weakest superior beings, their healing abilities would evolve tremendously.]
The moment Ivy heard that, her eyes suddenly flashed brightly.
"Who can do it?"
Almost immediately, her gaze slowly shifted toward Alana.
At the same time, Temporal Storage continued,
[As long as Alana becomes a superior being, she will be capable of healing him.]
"Will her life be in danger?"
[No.]
Hearing that, Ivy immediately stood up and walked toward Alana.
Then, to everyone’s shock, she knelt down before her.
Alana became completely stunned.
"Ivy! What are you doing?!"
She hurriedly tried pulling Ivy up, but Ivy refused to move.
Her eyes were already red from crying.
"I know I’m being shameless right now... but I truly need your help."
Her voice trembled heavily.
Then she quickly explained everything to Alana.
At the same time, Ivy continued conversing mentally with Temporal Storage.
"Isn’t there anyone else? Another healer? Anyone?"
The storage calmly reminded her,
[Humans capable of surviving the transformation into superior beings are extremely rare. Usually, only individuals who have reached exceptional levels within their own abilities while possessing strong minds and bodies can survive.]
[Among everyone here... Alana has the highest probability.]
Hearing that, Ivy fully understood.
Only Alana could save Silas now. The next moment, Ivy completely abandoned her pride.
She started begging. "Please... please save him."
Her pleading voice sounded heartbreakingly fragile.
"As long as you agree, I can give you everything I own. You can have this entire base. All my jewelry. All my riches. Everything. I’ll even give you hidden treasures and resources... just please save Silas."
Seeing Ivy like this caused Alana’s heart to soften painfully.
After all, Ivy was someone who normally stood proudly above everyone else.
Yet now she was kneeling on the floor and begging desperately.
Becoming a superior being was incredibly dangerous.
Not only that, Alana was unsure whether she was truly ready to abandon her humanity forever.
Still... she could not bear watching Ivy suffer like this.
Eventually, Alana slowly closed her eyes before speaking softly,
"Give me ten minutes."
Ivy immediately nodded. Even then, she still looked utterly restless.
Right now, she truly felt willing to kneel before anyone if it meant saving Silas.
At the same time, she engraved every emotion she was feeling into her heart.
One day, she would make every superior being responsible for this suffer the exact same pain.
As those thoughts filled her mind, she slowly turned her gaze back toward Silas’s unconscious face.
Meanwhile, Alana quietly walked toward a corner of the room before closing her eyes silently.
A few moments later, Felix approached her and gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"It’s alright if you don’t want to become a superior being."
