Although currently, the entire room contained blood samples from different locations on Terra, of excellent quality, which could provide Goki with a large amount of blood echoes, arguably richer than the legacy Goki had stolen from the God of Burning Wind before.
However, Goki couldn't be happy at all.
Clearly, a local god of Terra had stolen that part of Goki's power, belonging to the Daughter of the Cosmos, and was now threatening this world.
And it was quite clear that Rhine Lab had only obtained a small part of its kin's limbs; the current god might still be somewhere on Terra—perhaps in that ruin in Kazimierz that had driven a dozen Rhine Lab researchers insane.
Goki, like Kaltsit, worried that the contamination of gods would harm the real world, and now it seemed the crisis Terra faced was worse than either of them had imagined.
Fortunately, it seemed Rhine Lab itself, and the Director personally, were not as insane as Goki had thought, unlike Parvis.
The Director was indeed a far-sighted woman. In these experimental records, she maintained the rationality of a researcher.
Although she conducted many forbidden experiments, as soon as a problem arose, the experiment would be halted and sealed, stored in the current room.
In the most recent records, Goki found the Director's notes on the previous hallucination incident.
"—May 1091… Attempted to implant starry blood into Sarkaz subjects. The blood was stimulated by the Sarkaz subjects, producing an extreme rejection reaction, creating a huge illusion out of thin air that affected 23 people—the symbiotic experiment with a mild inhibitor failed. No, I think we can try again…"
However, after discovering that the starry blood had lost its effect, the Director did not seem to directly seal the starry blood, but intended to try more.
"No, Saria said that since Silence took over Ifrit, the Director had never conducted any other experiments on her. When did she secretly conduct these experiments?"
Thinking this, Goki continued to flip forward through the records, discovering one failed experiment record after another… and the only successful record.
The paper was already somewhat yellowed, even appearing old from repeated handling.
"—April 1091… Unbelievable, the inferno potion implantation succeeded. No rejection reaction occurred. The inferno potion fell silent upon approaching the experimental subject. The experimental subject successfully achieved symbiosis with the God of Burning Wind's power, as if they were originally one, even though every previous experiment had failed.
The power of the inferno potion was completely suppressed, but it indeed exists. With the right stimulus, she can release the flame demon power again.
There are many secrets to paleblood. It is the mildest and most perfect inhibitor known. The Great One who possesses it is extremely special and can suppress the power of other gods—it must be the God-Devouring God."
Upon seeing this record, Goki's pupils instantly contracted to a tiny point.
Ifrit's Ifrit Project had actually succeeded long ago, but she could still only emit a tiny flame.
Goki continued to flip forward, reaching the very first page.
"1085—The only sample implantation succeeded. The experimental subject successfully accepted the paleblood. It's hard to imagine that the legends are true. The Pale Moon that fell from the sky, the Fallen God torn apart by the gods, is the God-Devouring God, and also the enemy of all gods… Humanity is facing unprecedented danger. This might be our opportunity to turn the tide. I must talk to Kaltsit—"
The text abruptly stopped, and the rest of the content was completely crossed out.
After reading these words, Goki took a deep breath.
"Haha, Kaltsit, your social circle is truly extensive… No wonder you didn't dare to infiltrate Rhine Lab. How many things are you still hiding from me?"
Then, Goki closed his eyes tightly, magnifying his perception to the limit, searching for the power he usually automatically screened out.
Goki's own power.
The authority of the Moon Presence, the paleblood of the Moon Presence.
At the end of Yharnam, although Goki killed the Moon Presence, he did not choose to steal that power and replace it as the new Moon Presence.
After all, although he could be raised by the Nona Doll, Goki still didn't want to become the tentacled monster that was currently flinging Muelsyse / Muir Sais around.
Tentacle play is good, but if he abandoned his little brother and couldn't do—the things he loved—with pretty girls, what was the point of becoming a god?
However, Goki had long known that although he didn't become a tentacled monster, he still possessed the power of the Moon Presence. It was this power that suppressed the high-purity Originium, Seaborn Blood, and the runic Divine Power of the God of Burning Wind within him.
Therefore, Goki usually wouldn't pay attention to the power related to the Moon Presence, just as a person's brain subconsciously ignores their own breathing.
But now, when he began to perceive the Moon Presence's power, he discovered… a familiar power existed in the warehouse, within a seemingly ordinary, seamless wall.
That was… the power of paleblood.
"Ha… I need to quickly notify Kaltsit and Skadi. No, also Silence and Saria—if nothing unexpected happens, there might be a fight."
Goki slapped his forehead—big trouble.
