Looking at the evolution pattern similar to the Star Beast, it was inferred that Wayne once became a mad Forgetter, and after merging with The Great Void Cosmos, he regained his sanity.
Wayne blinked, "Although I really would like to deceive you with that, now that we are among our own, there’s no harm in telling you the truth, after all..."
Three more tentacles stretched out, entwining around Saina’s thighs, slender waist, and her ample chest, suspending her in midair and pulling her towards the Great Eyeball.
"The moment you suggested Dragon Blood, I knew that the teacher hadn’t told you the truth."
Saina, unable to control herself, widened her eyes in terror and stared at the demonic eye as the four tentacles each opened a mouth and whispered in her ear, "I had the fortune to witness an Ancient God, a majesty indescribable, a power beyond everything; my Protogenos Bloodline evolved by imitating Ancient Gods, and thus I obtained my current noble form."
"Dragon Blood is too lowly for me; you can’t change my path of evolution!"
Protogenos Bloodline, Ancient God, a higher path of evolution...
Saina sorted through her thoughts and only then understood the grave mistake she had made, biting her teeth in hatred and saying, "Hefei, that bitch..."
Before Saina could finish, the tentacle around her neck tightened, and its tip drilled into her mouth, bulging her slender neck.
Saina, eyes wide with pain, gradually felt that she couldn’t breathe.
Soon, she discovered she didn’t need to breathe at all.
"Watch your words, if you were not my teacher’s teacher, based on your previous actions, I would have killed you already," said Wayne unceremoniously.
"So she deceived you, what about it? You should thank her!" Wayne said as he pulled out the tentacles, lifted Saina’s chin with his hand, and said ominously, "Also, I am not Veronica’s biological brother; we came to visit the Church headquarters, never intending to become the Holy Maiden..."
"You pride yourself on being smart, always mocking the teacher’s brains, but in the end, let me count, how many times has she fooled you?"
Saina’s face turned ashen, her mouth opening to spew venom, but seeing the tentacles eager to move, she clenched her teeth instinctively.
It was no use; her mouth opened uncontrollably again as the tentacle forced its way in.
"You can only speak if I allow you to. If I don’t, you don’t even have a mouth, got it?"
Wayne ruthlessly suppressed Saina’s prideful ego, taunting, "All in all, your downfall is all your own doing, too arrogant. Don’t blame the teacher."
The tentacles dispersed, and Wayne returned to his normal form as Saina propped herself up on her hands, crouching on the ground, retching continuously.
She looked at her palms, her thoughts scattered, tiny white scales emerging, the Giant Dragon bloodline was still there, still at her disposal, as she wished.
But she knew, this was all contingent on Wayne allowing her to do so.
From the teacher’s teacher to the dependant of her own student, one could only imagine Saina’s indignation—she now wished for nothing more than to kill...
Unable to maintain her physical balance, Saina’s body once again dissolved into a puddle of writhing tentacles and foam on the floor.
In her panic, as her intent to kill dissipated, her thoughts reconstituted her flesh, and she returned to her original form.
Saina, drenched in sweat, felt unending despair. Wayne had left many things in her thoughts, chains upon chains, layers of bindings, to the point where she couldn’t maintain her sense of self.
"You can only think if I allow you to. If I don’t, you won’t even have a brain, understand?"
Wayne, looking down from his height, said regretfully, "Saina, I preferred your unyielding demeanor compared to this trembling state of yours now, but there’s no turning back; I’ll have to learn to adapt, and I hope you do too."
Saina grimly smiled without a sound — a nice sentiment indeed. How can one adapt when their life plummets to the lowest of lows?
Wayne now addressed her by name, not even willing to call her ’teacher’!
"Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you; you are now my..."
Wayne pondered for a moment, "How should I put it, servant, dependant, slave... more or less the same thing. If by accident I die, you know the consequences."
"I’ll die too, won’t I?" Saina’s eyes lit up.
"No, I will be reborn within your body, the method of rebirth well... varies greatly; after all, I have imitated Ancient Gods, one can’t measure by common standards," said Wayne, squatting in front of Saina, glancing at her smooth belly, and laughing heartily.
Saina was numb, realizing she wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing, too indifferent to cover herself, feeling like nothing mattered anymore.
It’s pointless; this woman is almost broken beyond repair, with little shame left.
Wayne curled his mouth at Saina, smacked her on the shoulder, and told her to hurry up and get dressed.
He was glad that Veronica wasn’t there, otherwise, he’d be covered in mouths and still not able to explain himself.
Saina mechanically put on her clothes, with each rise of hatred in her heart, her body would randomly collapse in some part, falling apart as she pieced herself back together. It took five whole minutes to put on a few simple garments.
Wayne gave a lot of face to Saina, waiting for her to get dressed before he continued to bark orders.
Saina’s loathing surged, half her arm snapping off, transforming into foam as it hit the floor.
The foam crept back into the fabric, and the arm grew back.
"Saina, your Dragon Blood still exists, but Giant Dragons are no longer your path of evolution. I am," Wayne patted Saina’s shoulder, encouragingly saying, "You got lucky, a jackpot win. One day, you’ll be grateful to Teacher Hefei. Not everyone can be as fortunate as you, to be related to an Ancient God. So many kneel without even finding the way!"
