After helping Sakura implant the Stigmata, Zeus looked at her smooth back and swallowed. Although there was no saliva left, Zeus still felt a dry mouth and throat; it must have been psychological. However, to see the Eighth Sister she had always wanted in her previous life, now lying defenselessly before her, Zeus suddenly felt that if she didn't do something, was she even worse than a beast?
Just as Zeus was struggling between being a beast and being worse than a beast, Yae Sakura slowly opened her eyes. After a moment of confusion, she looked at the conflicted Zeus, not speaking proactively, but simply watching her until Zeus felt her gaze and emerged from her struggle.
"You're awake, Sakura."
Zeus said somewhat awkwardly, but unaware of Zeus's 'dirty' inner thoughts, Sakura could only look at Zeus with deep gratitude. Just now, she had met her sister in her sea of consciousness, which caused her withered heart to sprout new shoots again.
After she finished speaking, both fell into an awkward silence. Zeus was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, while Sakura was already a woman of few words, and in this situation, she was so grateful that she couldn't even speak.
"That…"
"You go first!"
The strange unspoken understanding between them brought the conversation back to a standstill, but what was with this opening, full of campus romance dialogue? At this moment, though Zeus appeared calm on the surface, she was panicking internally.
But in the end, Zeus chickened out. Under Sakura's pure gaze, she 'chickened out,' abandoning all dignity as a God-King. She hastily muttered, 'I'm going to get some fresh air,' and then ran away.
When Zeus ran out of the shrine and reached a small river outside the village, she let out a long sigh. After calming her tangled emotions, she began to consider if it would be more suitable for her to leave. After all, she still needed to cultivate and diligently comprehend the Eastern immortal arts. Cultivating such highly mysterious immortal arts required extremely high talent and extraordinary effort to achieve success.
If she gave up halfway, it would be extremely regrettable.
But before Zeus could finish her thoughts, a 'familiar' figure suddenly floated down the river towards her.
"This damn correction rate."
Looking at the familiar, somewhat alluring nun's habit, the silver hair so similar to her own, and the black box clutched tightly in her hands, Zeus knew for certain: this was Kallen herself. Zeus had no idea why she appeared here, but if she didn't save her now, the plot probably wouldn't progress.
"Seriously, did I not sincerely pay enough in my past life?!"
"Both of them are like this, making me worry."
"Truly a ghost's body, but a toilsome fate."
"By the way, will I die from overwork like Teacher Kong!?"
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it, it feels a little scary."
Muttering to herself, Zeus still used her telekinesis to 'carry' Kallen on her back. Since she had no physical body, if Sakura saw this miraculous power, she might think Zeus was some great deity, and her attitude towards Zeus would change, which Zeus did not want to see. So, Zeus could only use this method to 'carry' Kallen, which to others would appear as if she were carrying her, as she walked towards the shrine.
"Don't ask, just hurry over and treat her! Otherwise, she'll die."
Zeus said to Yae Sakura and began to examine Kallen, finding several bullet holes in her body. The bullets were likely still inside.
"Please prepare a small knife, a candle, some cloth, and finally, hot water."
Seeing the blood oozing from the bullet holes, Zeus quickly instructed Sakura. These were just for show. As Sakura turned to prepare the items, Zeus pulled a small vial from her earring space, poured out a pill, and slipped it into Kallen's mouth. Seeing Kallen's originally pale face turn a little rosy, Zeus couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"I must owe you from a past life."
"Helping you again and again."
Without thinking too deeply, Zeus knew this kind child had likely discovered the 'dirty' experiments within the higher echelons, then stole the black box containing the experiment, was discovered, pursued, and finally escaped.
"I wonder if I'll be able to make it in time to save you next time."
Gently stroking Kallen's pretty face, Zeus sighed, and then Sakura had the items ready.
"My surgery is super fast, don't blink!"
Zeus said to Sakura with a hint of playfulness. She held the small dagger over the fire to sterilize it. In her other hand, which Sakura couldn't see, a faint green glow shimmered in her palm. However, Zeus pressed it against Kallen's body, and Sakura's attention was completely drawn to the hand holding the dagger. It was like a magic trick, deceiving the observer's eyes, preventing them from noticing Zeus using other powers.
Sakura could only conclude that Zeus's 'medical skills' were simply extraordinary.
Indeed, with Zeus's movements, bullets were pulled from deep within and then picked out with the small dagger, without even scratching the skin.
Kallen would probably be very grateful to Zeus when she woke up, as not a single scar was left. What girl wants scars on her body? After Zeus finished, she led Sakura out of the room, leaving Kallen in her slumber.
