The Highest Bounty Chapter 253

Five of them quickly arrived at the harbor and Dockett could not help admiring Golden Eagle when he saw it. “What an impressive spaceship!”

He had always been a solo traveler and owned only a Grey-faced Buzzard. It was a remarkable thing to see a Golden Eagle.

Dockett kept looking around when they got into the spaceship and had a look that said this was a whole new world to him.

“Dockett, why don't you join our crew. We need a doctor,” Gu Ding suggested when he saw the look on Dockett's face.

“I can't. I'm not going anywhere without winning Malcolm!” Dockett immediately rejected Gu Ding's invite.

“That's fine, we'll discuss this later,” Gu Ding did not immediately mention his plan to challenge Dockett. He was worried that Dockett would refuse to treat Biggie and the others if Gu Ding beat him. That would spell trouble.

Biggie's mask had already been taken off in the cell repair berth. He only had on a huge pair of pants on his body.

“Open the cell repair berth and let me check his wound,” Dockett stood next to the cell repair berth as he frowned slightly. He was not just a doctor, he was also psychokinetic. The power of his soul energy was nearly at the level of a demigod. He was able to detect that Biggie's soul was currently in deep sleep. When someone showed this symptom, it meant that the owner of the soul had suffered a terrible wound.

Gu Ding opened the berth and Dockett reached into the cell repair berth, pressing directly on the veins on Biggie's neck. He next opened Biggie's eyelids and raised his head to look at Gu Ding. “He is halfway to hell. I can try to extract the negative effect within his body, but I would need you to get me a substitute to bear the burden of the negative effect. This substitute must be powerful enough to take on the effects. At the very least, it cannot die within ten minutes after the full transfer is complete. Otherwise, both me and Biggie will suffer the counter-effect of my abilities. If that happens, I'll be wounded at most, but for Biggie who is in such a weak condition, it is highly possible that he might die.”

Gu Ding immediately replied, “I'll be the substitute. My body has ten times the recovery rate of Biggie. This wound should not give my body too much trouble.”

“Are you sure? My recommendation is to capture a strong and powerful genebeast, and transfer the body's damage onto the genebeast's body,” Dockett had not expected Gu Ding to make this decision.

“It's okay, you can just transfer it to me,” Gu Ding shook his head.

“Very well. Let's see if I am able to extract it,” Dockett did not try to change Gu Ding's mind when he saw Gu Ding's determination. He activated his special ability and started to detect the special circumstance happening in Biggie's body.

Dockett could tell that there had been surgery done on Biggie using his special ability. There were also minor cracks on Biggie's bones that had not completely healed. Dockett continued digging for more information and very soon, he saw a special energy that was greyish-green. There was a vague mark that looked like a shadow on it. It was an energy that was continuously creating damage to Biggie's body.

“Is this God Source?! It's a God Source with the mark of a deity. Whoever wounded Biggie was not a demigod… It was a true deity!!!” Dockett was finally able to diagnose the reason for Biggie's wound, but he also quickly collected his thoughts as he tried to extract these negative effects from Biggie's body.

Within Biggie's body, the marks of unhealed wounds after his surgery quickly vanished. Next, the cracks on his bones disappeared quickly as well, but the greyish-green God Source did not react to Dockett's attempts at extraction. He had no choice but to retreat from Biggie's body.

“Biggie was wounded by a real deity. I am able to extract his wound, but I can't do anything about that greyish-green God Source. That thing seems to have been nailed down into his body by the mark of a deity. Only a true deity will be able to expel it,” it was the first time Dockett had met a patient wounded by a deity. Even though he was not willing to admit this, but it was a fact that he was unable to do anything about the energy remnants created by a true deity.

“Porti had upgraded to become a deity?” This was Malcolm's immediate reaction to Dockett's statement.

“No, it was a corpse dummy within her domain,” all Gu Ding did was correct Malcolm's guess, but did not plan to continue with an explanation.

Malcolm knew Gu Ding was in a bad mood and did not continue with any questions.

“If that is the case, help us take a look at Tagore!” Gu Ding said as he passed Tagore to Dockett.

Dockett activated his ability again as he checked for any anomalies within the little cat's body carefully. After looking over Tagore a few times, nothing was found. Dockett came to a conclusion in the end. “There is nothing wrong with this cat. His body is just lacking energy.”

“How is that possible?” Gu Ding could hardly believe it.

Neptune quickly scanned Tagore and surprisingly came to the same conclusion as Dockett. “That's strange. The wounds in his body have all vanished! If he possesses Advanced High-Speed Regeneration, it would not be impossible for him to completely heal within a day.”

“Do you know when would Tagore be able to wake up?” Gu Ding could not help asking.

Dockett thought Gu Ding was directing the question at him. “It would be difficult to tell. However, judging by his current condition, the coma might be caused by evolution. If that is the case, it would require a huge amount of energy.”

“His deduction makes sense. We can find some time to purchase more energy crystals and feed them to Tagore. It might have an effect on him,” Neptune's databank did not contain any information on Tagore or similar species to him. It did not dare to provide a definite conclusion without support from the databank and could only give a suggestion.

Dockett was a little disappointed as he had always been confident of his ability. “I'm sorry I was not much of a help. Biggie's wound would continue to spread because of the God Source. Even though I have removed all the damage caused to his body, the God Source will continue to damage it. Judging by the speed of the damage, he will only live for a month at most, unless you are able to find a deity willing to help him. However, there are currently only two deities in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation. One would be Her Highness The Lord, and the other would be the guardian of Faye Cosmic Nation.”

“The possibility of Her Highness The Lord helping you out is not very high, especially since you are an Interstellar Pirate, which places you both on opposing sides. As for that guardian, all we know is that he stands guard at the Royal Capital Sector all year round, but no one knows which planet he is on. We don't even know what does he look like or what his name is. He could be a man or a woman. The chances are even slimmer to try and get his help.”

“Looks like we can only approach Elizabeth…” Gu Ding clenched his fist. It looked like they had to make a trip to the Royal Capital Sector in order to save Biggie.
