Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye-Chapter 348: The Way to Revive Sophia! The Side Effects of Artificial Monsters! Everything is Under Control!

Luca furrowed his brows, realizing that he had been overly optimistic in his earlier thoughts.

Sophia’s condition was far worse than he had imagined.

Relying solely on Superclass materials to restore her consciousness was practically impossible. However, his current abilities were much weaker than before, and obtaining Transcendent-level materials had become nearly impossible.

More importantly, given Sophia’s current state, it was likely that she wouldn’t last much longer.

What should he do? As he stared at Sophia, still trapped in her frozen divine rank slumber, Luca’s mind raced, desperately trying to find a sliver of hope amid the overwhelming flood of information.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration sparked in his mind, and his eyes lit up. With a swift motion, Luca flipped his hand, and purple sin energy burst forth, filling the quiet room with a violet hue.

At the same time, a cracked purple crystal appeared in his hand—it was Zenobia’s Sinful Divine Rank! The moment the Sinful Divine Rank materialized, Luca could distinctly sense a faint resonance from Sophia’s divine soul.

Though the reaction was extremely weak, almost imperceptible to anyone who wasn’t paying close attention, it was there.

"Just as I thought!" Luca’s heart skipped a beat, and a look of excitement crossed his face. Sophia’s power and Zenobia’s were fundamentally of the same origin. If Sophia could absorb the power of the Sinful Divine Rank, even if it couldn’t fully reconstruct her body, it should be enough to repair her divine soul and awaken her consciousness.

But then, a new problem arose in Luca’s mind: How could he extract the power from the Sinful Divine Rank?

He pondered the issue for a while but couldn’t come up with a good solution. After all, sin energy, even among the gods, was one of the most powerful divine forces. Even divine-level beings would struggle to resist it.

Although the Sinful Divine Rank was broken, extracting its divine power to nourish Sophia’s divine soul was no simple task.

Out of nowhere, Luca suddenly thought of a force capable of disassembling anything.

If he could obtain a Primordial Crystal and harness its primal power, even if his strength wasn’t enough, he might have a chance to extract the divine power from the Sinful Divine Rank. But obtaining a Primordial Crystal would require finding either the Ancient Gods or someone from the Zenith Technology Company.

The only lead Luca had regarding them was Dragon Gate Mountain in the Imperial Capital and Leipoder, who was researching artificial monsters. Neither of these was something that could be easily accomplished.

"Imperial Capital... Dragon Gate Mountain..." Luca’s gaze flickered, a cold determination gradually forming in his eyes. Whether it was the Ancient Gods or the Zenith Technology Company, neither could stop him from reviving Sophia.

...

After leaving the quiet room, Luca headed straight to the place where Timi and Tuwnken were staying.

He rang the doorbell, and the door opened quickly.

Timi answered the door, her face unable to hide her anxiety, as if she had been preparing to leave.

Upon seeing Luca outside, she looked surprised and said, "What are you doing here? I was just about to come find you."

Luca asked, "What’s going on?"

Timi was about to say something when, at that moment, Tuwnken came over, having heard the noise from outside. His face was full of worry as he said, "Tracer’s not feeling well, but we can’t figure out why. We just had the doctor check, but they didn’t find anything wrong."

Something had happened to Tracer?

Luca’s heart tightened. Without saying anything more, he quickly entered the room with them.

When he pushed the door open, he saw the young girl lying in bed.

Tracer’s complexion was pale, her forehead slick with cold sweat, and she had already fallen into a coma.

Luca approached her, his eyes flashing with deep blue witch power as he activated his Eye of Insight.

He could clearly see that Tracer’s body was covered by a dense layer of blood-red Demonic energy. It was exactly like the Flesh and Blood Giant Bear he had seen back in Leaf City, only the energy around her was far more unstable, as if she could lose control at any moment.

Was this a side effect of the artificial monster modification?

Luca had seen artificial monsters in his previous life, and their condition was always unstable. Now, seeing Tracer’s situation, he had a few suspicions.

It seemed that Leipoder’s artificial monster modification technology had significant flaws.

Tuwnken sighed, "She was fine when we had breakfast this morning. I don’t know what happened, but suddenly, Tracer just passed out."

"Let me take a look." Stepping forward, Luca could clearly see distinct patterns etched on Tracer’s body.

These were lines formed by Demonic energy. Under the corrosion of this energy, her small face was twisted in agony, and her life force fluctuated—sometimes wildly, like a volcano, other times weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, about to go out.

Although Leipoder’s modification had granted Tracer strength and abilities far beyond an ordinary person, it had also subjected her to the torturous influence of Demonic energy.

Timi, visibly worried, said, "We brought in the best doctor from the shelter, but he said Tracer’s physical structure is very different from that of normal humans. He couldn’t do anything to help her."

Luca didn’t respond, instead placing his hand gently on the young girl’s forehead.

A deep, intense blue witch power surged from his hand.

The witch power flowed into Tracer’s body, and he could clearly see the violent, restless Demonic energy within her, like a raging fire consuming her body and soul.

The witch power in Luca’s hand grew brighter, gradually enveloping Tracer completely. Under its influence, the turbulent Demonic energy within her began to stabilize.

Timi and Tuwnken anxiously watched from the side. After spending so much time together, they had formed a deep bond with the young girl they had rescued from Leaf City.

After a long while, the witch power gradually faded, and Tracer’s breathing steadied. Her pale face slowly regained some color.

Seeing this, Tuwnken and Timi both let out a long sigh of relief.

Luca withdrew his hand, rubbing his brow. "I’ve only been able to stabilize her for now. To fully heal her, I’m afraid I can’t do that just yet."

Upon hearing this, both of them tensed again. Timi asked, "Is there no other way to cure Tracer?"

Luca shook his head. "The only one who can fully heal Tracer is probably Leipoder."

As the developer of the artificial monster technology and Tracer’s creator and father, only Leipoder might be able to truly fix the condition affecting her.

The current main issue was that Leipoder had gone missing, and the only lead was with the James Family. However, with Sky James’s current ability, he wasn’t yet able to access such high-level confidential information.

After a moment of thought, Luca turned to Timi and Tuwnken and said, "I’m planning to take Tracer to the Imperial Capital. If you want to come along, you’re welcome to join us."

In order to save her, they needed to find Leipoder, and the only lead they had on Leipoder pointed to the James Family. The best course of action was to take Tracer to the Imperial Capital.

If they could find Leipoder, that would be ideal, but even if they didn’t, the Imperial Capital had the world’s top monster research experts, who could certainly offer some help with Tracer’s condition.

Timi and Tuwnken hesitated for a moment. They hadn’t planned on going to the Imperial Capital, but after a brief pause, they agreed.

One reason was that they didn’t intend to stay at the shelter for long anyway. The other reason was that they were concerned about Tracer’s condition.

Once they made the decision, the two of them immediately began packing their bags.

Luca glanced at the still-sleeping Tracer before turning and heading back to his residence, planning to notify Donald and the others to pack their things and join them in going to the Imperial Capital.

However, before he reached the residential area, he ran into a soldier sent by Drumph.

Noticing Luca, the soldier quickly approached and said, "Mr. Luca, Mr. Drumph sent me to inform you that the convoy to the Imperial Capital is ready. We can depart at any time."

"Already ready?" Luca was a little surprised. It wasn’t even noon yet, and he had thought they wouldn’t be leaving until the afternoon.

He nodded in acknowledgment and hurried back to his living quarters. Donald and the others had already received the soldier’s message.

When Luca returned, they were already loading their things into the truck. There wasn’t much to pack, mainly just the clothing and cosmetics of Susie, Sini, and Zoey.

Yes, clothing and cosmetics, not food or medicine. Not just Luca, but even Donald and Darabont were confused, wondering why, in the middle of the apocalypse, they still needed to bring such items.

However, none of them dared to ask further questions. Luca and the others, being players with extraordinary physical strength, quickly loaded all the belongings into the truck.

The three women then got into the two military jeeps that had been prepared in advance. Donald and Luca were the drivers of these two vehicles, while Darabont drove the truck.

Once everything was set, Luca picked up Timi and Tuwnken, who had finished packing. They traveled with Susie, Sini, and Zoey in one jeep, while Donald, Sini, and the others took the second jeep. Together, they made their way to the temporary Morning Star branch set up at the shelter.

Before they even reached their destination, they could already see rows of black armored vehicles parked outside.

Quagmire, Drumph, Donlow, and the rest of the Northern Territory Morning Star group, who were also preparing to head to the Imperial Capital, had been waiting for some time. Upon seeing their vehicles approach, everyone waved and greeted them.

Drumph, turning to the people next to him, gave the order: "Let’s go, we’re heading to the Imperial Capital!"

At his command, the convoy of cars started up and drove toward the shelter’s exit.

...

Meanwhile, at the James Family estate in the Imperial Capital.

Back in the Imperial Capital, Sky James immediately returned to the James Family estate. He did not share the details of what had happened at Shelter 303 with the family, instead quietly waiting in the villa for further news. It didn’t take long for Hummer Nan to send someone with an urgent summons for a family meeting.

Once the messenger left.

Sky James’ solemn expression faded, replaced by a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.

Everything was under his control.
