The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The Hong Kong translation of Parvati IV is Perbali. This seems to be a rather nice name.

　"Then let's go with Perbal!"

　Dark instantly decided on the name "Magical Beast? Goddess of the Mind's Eye". And after deciding on the name "Magical Beast? Goddess of the Mind's Eye", the name "Magical Beast? God of Destruction" was suddenly decided as well.

　"Since it's based on Vasak, let's call her Vanessa... Vanessa."

　[The Magical Beast? Goddess of the Mind's Eye] is named Perbali.

　The name of "Fantasy Beast? God of Destruction" is Vanessa. "Feels good."

　Dak couldn't help but smile.

　Although Vanessa's name is somewhat similar to that of senior student Vanessa, there are countless people in this world who share the same name; it's just a matter of similarity.

　More importantly, do "Magic Beast? Goddess of the Mind's Eye" and "Magic Beast? God of Destruction" like the two names he chose?

　His family isn't a one-man show; they still respect the magical elves' own ideas.

　"Let's ask again after tonight's events are over."

　With that in mind, Dark focused all his attention on the young Quetzalcoatl.

　Having completed its second molt, the young Quetzalcoatl appears to have aged another year, now looking about nine years old.

　However, it is not very aware of changes in its own appearance.

　In fact, it doesn't really feel much about the growth of its own abilities.

　In its eyes, those changes in appearance and the growth in abilities might not be as important as a fairy tale, let alone delicious food.

　Comparable.

　—It had just finished its second molt when it started clamoring for more food.

　The "Goddess of the Mind's Eye of the Magical Beast" very decisively stuffed a bottle of milk into its mouth, then pulled out the snake skin it had just shed and handed it to Professor Kazel's magical spirit.

　The shed skin of the young Quetzalcoatl is also a very valuable material. However, Dark and his team will only take a small piece for research, and the vast majority will still be used to make its clothing.

　Then another magical elf took the bead into the temple and began to test the "virus" content in the surrounding environment.

　About half an hour later, the "virus" test was completed.

　First, there's the "virus-free zone" around the young Quetzalcoatl. After this second molt, the young Quetzalcoatl's immunity has increased significantly, and its resistance to the "virus" has become even more pronounced. The radius of that "virus-free zone" has expanded from just one meter to nearly ten meters!

　This isn't a tenfold increase, it's a full thousandfold increase!

　Although this thousandfold increase cannot be directly reflected in the immune system, it is still possible to roughly see that the immune system of the Quetzalcoatl sc. has been greatly enhanced. However, the "disinfection zone" outside the "virus-free zone" is still twenty to thirty centimeters thick.

　After careful calculation, it was found that the Feathered Serpent God's young form increased the purification speed of the "virus" by about eight to ten times.

　Because the purification rate is not constant, and the concentration and intensity of the "virus" in the surrounding environment are also different, it is impossible to calculate accurate data.

　However, according to rough estimates, the purification of the entire temple, which originally took three months to complete, may be shortened to just ten days!

　Just ten days!

　And this isn't even the final speed.

　If the young Quetzalcoatl continues to be fed, its immune system will be further enhanced, and its evolution against the virus will accelerate.

　Of course, the growth rate that can be obtained by consuming the "Three-Headed Dragon God" will definitely decrease.

　However, there is definitely still room for improvement before it completely fails. If all goes smoothly, perhaps the complete purification of this Temple of Life can be completed before the end of March.

　Once there, the investigators at the base will be able to begin a thorough excavation of this Temple of Life.

　Unfortunately, this transformation still failed to allow the young Quetzalcoatl to develop his divine status.

　Dark had originally summoned Ergani to deal with her ascension to godhood.

　But now it seems that if it wants to achieve divinity, it will probably need to undergo a major transformation.

　It's unlikely that the flesh of the "Three-Headed Dragon God" alone could achieve that level.

　Unless Ergan, being a true god, could "cut off her own flesh to feed the eagle."

　——Of course this is impossible.

　The fact that the young "Feathered Serpent God" can digest demigod-level evil god materials does not mean that it can also digest god-level materials.

　If it is a god-level being, it would most likely need to be a god that conforms to its pantheon.

　These are the "God of Life," the "God of the Sun," and so on. Dark also has a corresponding deity: the "Serpent Goddess," Nix.

　However, this isn't the current Nix, but the future Nix. Nix possesses the potential to awaken the solar and lunar genealogy.

　As she continued to grow to a certain extent, she should have been able to obtain the authority of the (sun god), and the light contained in her serpent flesh would allow the "feathered serpent god" to forge her divinity in her youth.

　—But of course, that's impossible to do.

　At most, one or two vials of blood could be drawn from her to make a bowl of snake blood soup.

　After this molting, the young Quetzalcoatl's immunity has greatly improved, and she has not escaped Ergan's control. It can be said that everything is changing in a positive direction.

　After completing the tests, Dak and the others celebrated.

　Immediately afterwards, they summoned a group of investigators who had the "virus" inside their bodies and had them pass through the temple gates and enter the "virus-free area" around the young Quetzalcoatl.

　As a result, just seconds after they entered, the mist within the bead began to dissipate.

　Less than ten seconds later, the "virus" hidden in their bodies was completely absorbed.

　This purification speed is on a completely different level compared to before. Dark and the others exchanged smiles and immediately had Hannah summon all the investigators in the base, who then lined up to enter the "virus-free zone".

　The ten-meter radius area can accommodate a large number of investigators. Add to that the rapid purification process.

　Not long after, all the investigators in the entire base who contained the "virus" were completely eradicated.

　A joyful atmosphere quietly spread.

　Everyone has sensed that this investigation and exploration of the Temple of Life has entered its final harvest stage.

　But after one night, life went on. February 24th, Wednesday.

　Dark's naming of the young Quetzalcoatl and the two magical spirits was successfully approved.

　They were given their own names from then on.

　Both "Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind" and "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" are relatively mature, and they had long anticipated this day. Although they were happy, they kept it to themselves.

　The young Quetzalcoatl was overjoyed, and for a time even pestered "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" to teach it to write its own name.

　Of course, that was just a passing fad.

　It scribbled a couple of times on the paper, then transformed back into a gluttonous ghost and began its endless feasting.

　After its second molt, the young Quetzalcoatl experienced a significant increase in digestive ability. During feeding, it also developed the ability to eat quickly and store food in its stomach.

　Dark named those two abilities "Snake Swallow" and "Second Stomach" respectively.

　After these two abilities awakened, Yu Hui, the "Feathered Serpent God," never stopped eating.

　After careful consideration, Dak and his team decided to split into two groups and begin feeding the animal 24 hours a day at high speed, starting that evening.

　These two teams are the night shift team, consisting of Dark, Professor Lily, and Ergani, and the regular team, consisting of everyone else.

　The night shift team adjusted their sleep schedule to 6:00 AM and slept until noon.

　The regular team's sleep schedule remains the same, as long as they get up at six o'clock to take over the shift.

　Under this 24-hour uninterrupted high-speed feeding, the young Quetzalcoatl continued to grow.

　Its immune specialization against that "virus" became more and more pronounced, and its immune capacity grew at a faster rate.

　The immune system's ability to eliminate the "virus" far exceeded expectations.

　Dark and his team soon discovered that their previous calculations were far too conservative. It was now a certainty that the Temple of Life would be completely purified before the end of March.

　February 25th, Thursday.

　Ergani completed the initial repairs to the broken sword.

　After all, she was the goddess of wisdom and had experience in creating artificial holy swords, so repairing a broken sword was no problem for her.

　That being said, it still took a considerable amount of time.

　She had no interest in summoning the evil god. While Dark and the others were studying the materials for the evil god, she was repairing the broken sword, and now she had finally succeeded.

　However, the materials used to repair the broken sword are somewhat special.

　—She used the baby teeth that "Feathered Serpent God" Yu Hui lost during her growth.

　So after successfully repairing it, she named it "Baby Tooth Sword." Although the naming taste was really not good, as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered. "Baby Tooth Sword" was undoubtedly a divine weapon.

　In order to activate its divinity, Ergani commanded the feathered serpent goddess, Yu Hui, to infuse the sword with a great deal of divine power.

　After initial repairs, the "Baby Tooth Sword" has the ability to change size. Its normal form is a thin sword with a blade about 1.3 meters long. The hilt and darts are repaired with feathered serpent scales, and the blade is as smooth and lustrous as ivory, making it look unlike a sword with extremely heavy killing power.

　But in reality, it has an extremely terrifying ability to devour, and is very much characterized by "gluttony".

　After Dak completed the repairs, he tested the sword.

　Simply holding it in one's hand can induce a feeling of hunger and thirst. If infused with magic, the connection deepens, and "gluttony" will rise uncontrollably.

　“Another weapon that is far too dangerous.” Dark felt quite regretful about this.

　The "Milk Tooth Sword" can shrink into a short dagger about two fingers long and grow into a giant sword that is two and a half meters long.

　Its abilities are no less than, and may even surpass, most "holy swords." Moreover, according to Ergani, it has the potential to be upgraded.

　However, the "upgrade" here is actually just a "restore".

　Its peak form must have been an extremely powerful artifact, otherwise it would not have survived to this day.

　The "Baby Tooth Sword" can transform magical or divine power into a life-devouring force similar to "Gluttony".

　It can also transform the desire for "gluttony" into energy to power the sword. Theoretically, it should be the weapon Dark has always dreamed of.

　However, in reality, while it transforms the desire for "gluttony," it also stimulates the generation of "gluttony," and the latter's stimulation is far stronger than the former's transformation rate. If one relies too much on this ability, the swordsman will inevitably be devoured by the desire for "gluttony," completely transforming into an irrational, gluttonous beast.

　Therefore, when using the "Baby Tooth Sword", it is best to rely on your own magic or divine power.

　In addition, it also has a "second stage," which Ergane named "Battle Form."

　After unleashing its battle form, "Milk Fang Sword" can transform into a giant sword resembling a feathered serpent, and its life-devouring power will be greatly enhanced.

　Furthermore, the life force absorbed in "Battle Form" can be temporarily transformed into the power of "Milk Fang Sword," causing it to continuously grow larger and stronger.

　After being repaired, Ergani took the "Baby Tooth Sword" to test her sword against the "Three-Headed Dragon God".

　She unleashed her "battle form," standing still and wielding her sword hilt. The giant feathered serpent that transformed from the sword engaged the "three-headed dragon god" in fierce combat. Initially, the giant feathered serpent formed from the "Milk Fang Sword" was slightly inferior to the "three-headed dragon god."

　But after only a short while, the giant feathered serpent grew stronger by devouring the life force of the "three-headed dragon god," reaching a level equal to or even surpassing it.

　After a while, the giant feathered serpent, which had grown even larger than the "Three-Headed Dragon God," completely devoured the "Three-Headed Dragon God's" life force. The "Three-Headed Dragon God" still had large chunks of its corpse remaining, but it had lost the high-speed self-healing ability that evil gods possessed.

　It's completely dead!

　This was the first time that Dark and his companions had witnessed a scene where an evil god was completely killed while the body was preserved.

　The "Baby Tooth Sword" not only devoured the life force of the "Three-Headed Dragon God," but also its self-healing ability.

　This is practically a divine artifact designed to slay evil gods.

　However, the corpses of the evil gods that were killed by it were all turned into basically useless pieces of flesh.

　That's very regrettable.

　Those body parts looked like hollowed-out paper products, which inevitably reminded people of... the bricks and stones of that Temple of Life.

　Once the temple's protection is gone, those bricks and stones will turn to dust. They will have lost their qualification as materials for alchemy. The only thing left is probably their collectible value.

　If they were made into specimens, they would at least be considered "evil god specimens," and would probably be welcomed by collectors.

　February 27th, Saturday, the night sky was filled with stars.

　[Quetzalcoatl] Yuwei has grown up again and now looks like he is ten years old.

　The effects of feeding the "Three-Headed Dragon God" have become weaker.

　Its growth is once again nearing its limit.

　However, the remaining "viruses" in the Temple of Life are also few in number.

　...
