Bugs Bunny, who was guarding Leyton, discovered that the Beyonder Characteristics had condensed from the dead werewolf; a crimson, heart-like pulsating jelly-like substance appeared on the werewolf's corpse.

After seeing it, Bugs Bunny dragged its somewhat numb body, hopped over, and picked up the Beyonder Characteristics. Only after getting it in its hand did Bugs Bunny realize it didn't have the iron box Leyton had used for storing things earlier.

"Oh! Little bunny, good boy! You even know to pick up spoils of war!" A pleasant female voice rang out behind Bugs Bunny.

Bugs Bunny, cautiously holding the werewolf's Beyonder Characteristics, darted to the side, creating some distance, before daring to turn around to see who had appeared behind it.

"Waaah~ Red-haired Great Demon King! What took you so long!" Bugs Bunny blurted out its innermost thoughts excitedly.

"Hmm? Red-haired Great Demon King?" Sia narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved into a mischievous smile.

"It's Red-haired Sister Sia!" Bugs Bunny's will to survive instantly skyrocketed.

It didn't want to become a dead rabbit, much less a roasted rabbit.

"So that's how I am in the little bunny's eyes! How heartbreaking, sigh~, a rabbit that doesn't like me, it's probably better to just eat it after all." Sia spoke the most terrifying words to a rabbit in a sad and delicate tone.

Bugs Bunny froze in place, not daring to move. The rabbit expressed that it really wanted to run away, but having been caught by Sia once, it knew it couldn't escape at all.

"It was all my boss who taught me!" Bugs Bunny decided to betray its caretaker.

"Is that so? I didn't expect little Leyton to be such a person, even slandering me in front of a rabbit. Do you know what else he said?" Sia found this rabbit more and more amusing; she almost regretted giving this rabbit to Leyton.

"I'm just a rabbit!" Bugs Bunny wanted to find a place to dig a hole and burrow into it.

"Indeed, what kind of person raises what kind of rabbit!" Sia couldn't help but retort, looking at the rabbit in front of her.

Bugs Bunny lowered its head, not daring to speak. It knew that playing deaf and dumb was a rabbit's survival instinct.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Give me the Beyonder Characteristics in your hand. This characteristic has a mark left by a certain evil god and cannot be used casually." Sia saw Bugs Bunny starting to play dead and stopped teasing it.

Bugs Bunny hesitated, looking at the characteristic in its hand, then at Sia, as if saying, "Don't trick the rabbit!"

"Don't worry, this contribution will be credited to your boss, and the Church will compensate him with other items later," Sia added.

Only then did Bugs Bunny hand the werewolf's Beyonder Characteristics it was holding to Sia. After Sia took the characteristic, she took out an iron cigarette case from her pocket, put the characteristic inside, and then isolated it with a Wall of Spirituality.

Sia then shifted her gaze to the werewolf's corpse on the ground, examining it carefully for a moment.

"There are many wounds on his body, but none are fatal, and many had healed before he died. The attack that truly caused his death was a single fatal blow, with no signs of struggle at all. Which Path's Sequence 5?" Sia's brows furrowed involuntarily as she looked at the werewolf's corpse.

Sia approached, squatted down, and took out a wooden red harmonica the size of an adult's palm from the inner pocket of the werewolf's coat.

Sia held the harmonica in her hand, examined it carefully for a moment, then closed her eyes, seemingly performing a divination.

"Take it. This Sealed Artifact can be your spoils of war. It doesn't have much negative effect, nor much positive effect, that's all." Sia casually tossed the wooden harmonica in her hand in front of Bugs Bunny.

Then Sia took out a bottle of healing potion, poured some on the red bloodstains on Bugs Bunny's body, and then handed the potion in her hand to Bugs Bunny.

"Apply the potion on your body yourself, and drink what's directly in the bottle; that will neutralize the toxins in your body. I'm going to check on your boss." Sia said, then stood up and walked towards where Leyton was lying.

After receiving the potion from Sia, Bugs Bunny immediately gulped it all down, then spread the potion Sia had poured on its body. The stiffness and pain in its body quickly showed significant relief.

Sia squatted beside Leyton, carefully examining his injuries, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

"His spirit body is somewhat weak; it seems to have suffered a strong impact. Werewolves shouldn't possess such an ability. A Sequence 5 Wraith? Or a corresponding Sealed Artifact?" Sia muttered to herself.

"Judging by the damage to his clothes, he was attacked at least twice, both in the chest and abdomen. The fatal wound was in the left chest, at the heart, but why are there no marks on his body? Who healed him?" Sia felt things were getting strange.

She had originally thought that a passing Sequence 5 had killed the werewolf and saved Leyton and the rabbit. But from the condition of Leyton's injuries, it didn't seem to be the case.

To completely heal a fatal injury in such a short time, even a Druid of the Planter pathway, who specializes in healing, couldn't do it, unless they were healing themselves.

"A Demigod? Besides that Bishop of the Church of the Earth Mother, there's another Demigod? This matter is becoming more and more confusing." Sia couldn't help but exclaim.

"For potions that heal spiritual damage, I can only wait to go back and have the Church formulate them." Sia was also helpless about Leyton's condition.

If it were physical injuries, she could heal them herself using Beyonder abilities and potions. But spiritual damage was beyond her capabilities.

However, Sia still simulated the Psychiatrist's soothing touch and applied it to Leyton twice, stabilizing Leyton's mental state.

After Sia's two soothing applications, Leyton's condition improved significantly. Leyton's mental state was mainly affected by the suppression of divinity, which caused Leyton's human-centric spiritual will to wilt considerably.

Leyton's own spiritual will at the Sequence 8 level appeared weak and helpless in the face of Sequence 4 Demigod-level divinity. During the period when divinity took over his body, Leyton's own spiritual will had been constantly under attack.

Especially since the divinity that erupted from Leyton's body was not pure, containing residual will from a higher existence, Leyton's own will was extremely repulsed by this divinity, and thus his own spirit suffered a more severe impact.

After Sia's soothing, Leyton quickly woke up. However, his condition was still not good.

"Hiss~ My head hurts so much." After Leyton regained consciousness, he felt his head was heavy and painful.

It was as if someone had repeatedly struck him with a stone; even the images he saw had double vision.

Seeing this, Sia simulated another soothing touch to calm Leyton's spirit.

"How do you feel?" Sia asked somewhat nervously.

"I don't feel good at all. My head is dizzy and heavy. Was I hit over the head with a club?!" Leyton said jokingly.

"If you can still talk nonsense, then you're fine." Sia saw that this guy could still joke, so she stopped worrying about his injuries.

"How can you treat an injured person like this!" Leyton said, speechless.

"Then where are your injuries, may I ask?" Sia said, quite exasperated.

"My heart was gouged out..." Leyton said, then suddenly stopped speaking.

Leyton saw that there was no wound at all on his left chest, not even the mark left by the werewolf's claw earlier.

"My goodness! Does it also come with healing injuries? I thought it was good enough just to keep me alive!" Leyton murmured.

"What are you muttering about?" Sia asked, staring at Leyton suspiciously.

"Nothing, I was saying why all my injuries are gone. Was everything I saw before an illusion?" Leyton casually made up a sentence.

"Do you remember what happened before? Who saved you?" Sia pressed.

"Uh, I just remember my heart being gouged out, and then I don't remember anything else." Leyton shook his head.

Although he said so, Leyton still closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene before he lost consciousness.

As Leyton recalled, a series of images appeared in his mind, along with a cold, emotionless divine will.

This was part of the divine will that remained in Leyton's memory, and as Leyton recalled, these residual divine wills also began to merge with Leyton.

Leyton clearly felt his emotions draining away, and his way of thinking and cognitive concepts seemed to be passively shaken.

Fortunately, this was only the divinity remaining in this memory, and not much of it. Leyton could still endure it by relying on his accumulated humanity.

"Is this what that angel meant by 'not wanting to become like the Hidden Sage, completely without self'?" Leyton had some understanding of this in his heart.

He immediately focused on the memory of this divinity. In the memory, Leyton became a Sequence 4 Mysticologist and even used Mystical Reenactment twice, once "Spear of Longinus" and once "Chessboard of Time," easily killing the werewolf who had gouged out his heart.

"What is this? A Mysticologist five-second experience card?" Leyton never expected that he would be the one to resolve this crisis in the end.

"Mystical Reenactment is really strong, especially for a transmigrator like me who knows a lot of things. There should be many Mystical Reappearances I can use. The only problem is that Sequence 4 is too far away from me right now." Leyton couldn't help but lament in his heart.

"Did you remember anything?" Sia couldn't help but ask, seeing the rich changes in Leyton's expression after he closed his eyes.

"I remembered the feeling of my heart being gouged out." Leyton opened his eyes, grumbled, and brushed off the topic.

"You're really fixated on the 'heart being gouged out' thing, aren't you!" Sia was quite speechless.

Leyton couldn't go two sentences without mentioning his heart being gouged out. If it weren't for the fact that he was injured, Sia would have wanted him to experience the feeling of his heart being gouged out again.
