Faced with Luo Shu's accusation, Echidna seemed rather unable to understand. "But isn't this what you hoped for?"
Echidna looked at Luo Shu, confused. "All these arrangements were made with the premise of satisfying your desires."
So why would he refuse?
Echidna couldn't understand.
Luo Shu didn't answer Echidna's question, but Lacus offered a reminder. "Echidna, you do not have the right to choose."
Hearing this, Echidna was first taken aback, then said with understanding, "I see. Thank you for your reminder."
Who to date, and who to have children with, were matters only Luo Shu could decide.
The only mistake Echidna had made was making the decision for Luo Shu.
Realising this, Echidna's face once again broke into a smile as she looked at Luo Shu. "In that case, I will choose to wait quietly, for the day you reach an answer."
Hearing this, Luo Shu's eyes were unusually calm.
He did not think that someone with Echidna's personality had what it took to raise a child well.
Besides, after becoming a Demigod and a long-lived species, Luo Shu did not consider offspring to be a necessity.
Therefore, Echidna's goal was doomed to fail.
But failure or not, Luo Shu still felt that Echidna's original intention in developing the technology—to solve the problem of her body's inability to bear the Class—was worth a try.
A try, called a stat reset.
"Echidna, besides reincarnation, what other methods have you prepared for resetting a Class?"
At Luo Shu's question, Echidna smiled, her tone calm as she explained, "From a common knowledge perspective, the Hidden Management Zone's function of shattering Abyss Artefacts and reducing them to pure materials would most likely resolve the Class conflict in my body~"
Echidna then looked at Luo Shu. "I imagine you are also aware of this function."
Hearing this, Luo Shu did not deny it, because he had indeed been considering using this function to erase the Class residue from Echidna's body.
If all went well, it should be possible to expel the Class she had previously advanced to from her body in the form of advancement materials.
After all, Echidna's Class had been erased by Emilia's ritual, but that did not mean the Class's power had left her.
In a way, Echidna's Class had merely been subjected to a rather special seal.
If this seal could be properly removed, Echidna should be able to return to the Witch Class.
The downside was that Echidna might have to start her Class advancement all over again.
But considering everything, Luo Shu still felt that using the Divine Kingdom's shattering function was safer. Moreover, by treading the Class path again, Echidna could walk it more steadily and go further.
Of course, if she did not like the Witch Class, she could also take up one of the other Classes the Divine Pantheon currently possessed.
However, although this was Luo Shu's idea, Echidna proposed a third path.
"While I am aware of the benefits of that method, I discovered something special during my research on myself."
Echidna smiled as she spoke of her experimental results.
"Although my Demigod authority was completely sealed by the Witch of Envy's ritual, strangely, under the effect of this seal, my spirit body and my physical body have undergone a substantial separation."
"In terms of my spirit body, I am now just an ordinary spirit's spirit body. But physically, I still possess the complete power of a Demigod, which I am simply unable to use due to the incompatibility with my spirit body."
"So, is there a method that could modify my spirit body, allowing it to drive this body that retains Demigod power, and let me use my abilities again?"
Hearing this, both Luo Shu and Lacus realised the insane act Echidna wanted to attempt.
"You intend for your spirit body to follow another Class path?"
Lacus frowned at Echidna.
Although she was well aware of how crazy people like Echidna could be, the idea of a dual Class had truly shocked her.
A normal person might not even succeed in following a single Class path. Under these circumstances, was the idea of pursuing two different Classes really feasible?
Faced with Lacus's doubt, Echidna smiled and looked at the silent Luo Shu.
"It seems Luo Shu has already guessed, hasn't he?"
At that moment, Luo Shu spoke to Echidna in a certain tone.
"You've used the Dream Simulation Chamber?"
Hearing Luo Shu's words, Lacus instantly realised what she had overlooked.
The Dream Simulation Chamber's Class simulation function.
If Echidna had used this function to simulate a path towards a dual Class based on her own situation, could the Dream Simulation Chamber have produced a viable result?
The answer was yes, it was viable!
"I used up all the points you allocated to me, Luo Shu. Based on the Class information I had on hand, I did indeed deduce a dual Class."
"And this Class achieved the Divine Pantheon's Top Tier Class rating."
"I have named this Class the Witch of Greed."
The upside-down Echidna revealed a captivating smile, one of satisfaction from having her thirst for knowledge quenched.
"In fact, I never imagined that a Class derived from two High Tier Classes as its core could actually reach the standard of a Top Tier Class."
Hearing this, Luo Shu detected a slight catch in Echidna's words.
"What is the other Class you used to pair with the Witch of Greed Class?"
At his question, Echidna confessed frankly, "It was a High Tier Class I unexpectedly obtained in this sanctuary. At the time, a beginner in mysticism was devouring the spirit bodies in the sanctuary. I discovered and killed him, and from his spirit body, I obtained a Class."
"This Class is called the Necro Dominator."
As Echidna said this, she sent a message to both Luo Shu and Lacus through the Divine Pantheon Reconstruction System.
[Necro Dominator]
[Main Materials: One spirit body core, one portion of spirit body essence from any Demigod's spirit body, one spirit body composition diagram.]
[Ritual: Modify one hundred thousand spirit bodies, turning them into extensions of your own spirit body. Then, amidst the fear and worship of these one hundred thousand spirit bodies, consume the advancement materials.]
Seeing the familiar advancement materials and ritual, Luo Shu's brows furrowed tightly.
"This is... a necromantic version of the Bloodline Dominator?"
Luo Shu once again caught the scent of what was called conspiracy!
