Chapter 736: Aqua Sprite's New Body (First Update)
Chapter 736: Aqua Sprite's New Body (First Update)
Without any further ado, Jerry plucked a strand of hair from Aqua Sprite's head and instantly entered his ring world.
Using Aqua Sprite's genes as a medium, he quickly created a fully grown adult female body that matched Aqua Sprite's fantasies perfectly.
Since the base genes were still Aqua Sprite's, this new body retained the special ability to release Illusion.
However, because the creation process was based on Jerry's own methods for creating humans, rather than the Celestials' methods for creating Eternals, the new body still had significant differences from Aqua Sprite's original one.
"Think carefully. This new body won't have eternal life; it can only live for about three hundred years. Additionally, it will contain much less cosmic energy, which will greatly reduce the effectiveness of your Illusion."
Reappearing in the Mud House with the new body, Jerry candidly explained all the pros and cons to Aqua Sprite.
However, Aqua Sprite showed no hesitation and nodded firmly, responding:
"I've already thought it through. Even if it means living a normal human lifespan, I'm willing to do it. I just want to fall in love and get married like a normal person. I'd still be willing even if I lost my Illusion ability."
Jerry found it difficult to understand why Aqua Sprite would give up eternal life and her powers just to become a normal human, much like he had once struggled to comprehend the actions of mythological deities who relinquished their immortality to fall in love with mortals, even if it meant living a life of less than a hundred years.
Although he didn't fully understand, he could accept it. He knew that everyone's experiences were different, and thus, their choices would also differ. There was no absolute right or wrong choice; only what was best for each individual.
You are not a fish, so how can you know the happiness of a fish? You are not her, so how can you know her happiness?
Just like how he preferred salty tofu pudding and sweet zongzi, many others preferred sweet tofu pudding and meat zongzi.
His experiences had led him to never abandon the pursuit of power, as only growing stronger could provide him with the security he needed to protect those he cared about. Aqua Sprite, on the other hand, had lived on Earth for over seven thousand years.
For her, the pursuit of life and power was no longer important. She simply wanted to have a normal romance and live a happy life, even if it was only for a hundred years.
"Since that's the case, let's do it!"
With a gentle tap on Aqua Sprite's forehead, Jerry extracted her soul from her original body and used Magic to perfectly fuse it with the new body. A new Aqua Sprite was born in the Mud House.
"Try moving your body."
Having completed everything with lightning speed, Jerry silently stored Aqua Sprite's original body in his ring world.
He had helped Aqua Sprite change her body for two reasons: to turn her from a supporter of the Divine Manifestation faction to an opponent, and to study her original body, which was created by multiple Celestials and possessed the same cosmic energy as the Eternals, making it valuable for research.
"Amazing, I've finally grown up! I can fall in love like Sersi now!"
Aqua Sprite's soul awoke in the new body. Opening her eyes and looking at her perfect figure and beautiful face in the mirror, she immediately did a happy little curtsy, holding her skirt.
"You look familiar, somehow."
Ginger looked at the Aqua Sprite's new body and current movements, her expression showing a bit of confusion.
The Aqua Sprite, hearing this, proudly puffed out her chest:
"Of course, it's familiar. This appearance is based on Marilyn Monroe, with just a few better optimizations in the details!"
Having been a child for over seven thousand years, she had always desired a mature body with a fatal attraction to men. So, she secretly designed her current form.
"I think now, no normal man can resist you!"
Sersi, seeing the Aqua Sprite's wish come true, stepped forward to hug her good friend, genuinely happy for her.
With Sana's Eternal Madness cured and the Aqua Sprite having obtained a satisfactory body, the group set out again, heading to the next Eternal's residence—the Amazon Rainforest.
This was an Eternal named Druid, whose power was Mind Control. When he heard the entire truth from Sersi, he wasn't particularly surprised.
He had long suspected their purpose for coming to Earth and had even argued with the leader, Ajak, about it. It was because of that argument that Ajak disbanded the Eternal team, allowing everyone to live their own lives.
Initially, he was reluctant to join the group. After leaving, he had been using his Mind Control ability to prevent wars, but he realized that his power was insufficient to stop all human conflicts.
Humans, over the past few thousand years, had always found various reasons and methods to start wars.
Eventually, he became disillusioned with humanity and went into seclusion in the Amazon Rainforest, protecting a local tribe.
However, deep down, he still loved this planet and its inhabitants. In the end, after being persuaded by the others, he agreed to join the team.
Leaving the Amazon Rainforest, they traveled to Australia with Jerry's help, where they found the great inventor among the Eternals, Phastos. He had inherited much advanced technological knowledge from the Celestials and could manipulate objects with his mind.
Throughout the seven thousand years of human civilization's development, many technological advancements had his influence, including the most powerful nuclear weapons.
"I'm sorry, but I can't join your mission. My ability is a mistake. After the incident in August 1945, I swore never to use my power again. Even when my child's bicycle broke, I repaired it with my own hands."
Meeting his old comrades brought Phastos great joy, but after hearing Sersi's account of the entire truth, he firmly refused to join the team.
The reason was that he had helped humans invent the atomic bomb, which had killed many people, leaving him deeply guilty.
"Actually, I don't think you should feel guilty. Instead, you should feel proud, because I believe you did something very right and good!"
At this point, Jerry, who had been listening to Sersi and the others unsuccessfully trying to persuade Phastos, spoke up.
Hearing Jerry's words, Phastos was stunned, then replied with a hint of anger:
"Mr. Jerry, I always thought you were a kind person, and my child has always looked up to you. I never expected you to say such cruel things."
