What is Immortality?

Immortality can be succinctly summarized as the refusal to die.

This is the literal interpretation of the term. Anyone can interpret it, but the key lies in how to achieve immortality.

The simplest method is to maximize one's self-healing capabilities. For humans, cuts on the skin can heal, muscle strains can recover, and even broken bones can mend.

Self-healing can be seen as an error-correction mechanism. This ability is dynamic, ensuring the integrity of the human body.

However, this error-correction mechanism has its limits. A pierced heart cannot heal, a crushed brain cannot recover, and a destroyed finger cannot regenerate. Even the aforementioned healable conditions often require external assistance in certain situations.

Ordinary people rely on medicine to enhance their body's error-correction mechanisms.

Yet, even with medicine, this error-correction mechanism cannot be called immortality.

The issue of lifespan doesn't need much thought. For Li Mo, this age-old topic holds no value for discussion. On one hand, he is very young, even by human standards. On the other hand, he isn't exactly human.

What is he, then?

A yokai? A Servant? Or perhaps a pseudo-Servant? Non-human elements have already taken root in his body, and he himself doesn't know how long his lifespan might be.

Thus, Li Mo's research focus is on self-healing.

"The vitality of the blood separated from the body has decreased significantly, but it still retains some activity. How many hours has it been?"

Perception and observation.

Data collection.

Integration and analysis.

The blood of the little evil god remains "alive" even after leaving the body, similar to how red blood cells in humans can survive for a time outside the body. The harsh external environment hasn't killed the cells contained in the little evil god's blood.

Honestly, his own blood wouldn't maintain such activity for this long.

"The little evil god's immortality is somewhat absurd."

Li Mo recalled information about the little evil god, vaguely remembering... her parents were quite famous figures in the demon world. So how did they end up with a daughter like this?

If a war broke out in the demon world, the little evil god would likely be cannon fodder. She shows no signs of leadership, nor does she even qualify as a soldier.

—She simply doesn't understand what it means to follow orders. Yurine has dealt her fatal blows countless times, yet the little evil god remains relentless in trying to kill Yurine to return home.

What's so great about life in the demon world? Why is the little evil god so eager to go back?

Moreover, human lifespans are nothing compared to demons. The little evil god and Medusa have lived for at least several centuries. A few decades would pass in the blink of an eye for them, right? Demons must perceive time differently from humans. Is that why the little evil god's parents don't care about her? After all, how many years has she been in the human world? Why should they care?

Even if they did care, with Medusa around, it seems normal, doesn't it?

"How can I conduct research in this state? Damn it, Medea isn't here, and there's no significant pressure on me. I might as well slack off!"

Realizing he was zoning out, Li Mo quickly tidied everything up.

Research? Screw research!

Paying homage to a certain independent regiment leader's approach, Li Mo decided to use the "High-Speed Divine Words: Medea Modified Version" to "consume" a portion of the blood. Once that was done, he washed his hands of the matter.

From there, he left everything to his instincts.

Instincts and conscious thought are two different things. Just like how your immune system doesn't stop fighting viruses just because you're thinking about it.

The immortality granted by his ninth tail is more than enough for Li Mo. The little evil god's flesh and blood are just the icing on the cake. Thinking about it now, the biggest gain from this experience was witnessing the little evil god's miserable state.

Is there anything more enjoyable than seeing someone else's misfortune? More importantly, there's no need to feel any pity for the little evil god.

Just enjoy the show.

Deciding to occasionally drop by for some entertainment, Li Mo gave up on research and chose to play games instead.

It had been a long time since he last played.

The air was thick with Mana. Its concentration far exceeded that of the worlds of *Type-Moon* and *Demon Slayer*. If forced to compare, even Teyvat's Mana concentration paled in comparison to the main world. However, Teyvat's elemental energy was more active, creating a distinct difference between the two.

"This weekend, how about we organize a trip to Tokyo?"

In the Service Club, Li Mo sat in his seat, flipping through a manga he had brought. He overheard Yukinoshita's suggestion.

"Sure." It seemed like nothing had happened over the weekend. Yukinoshita Yukino's attention was entirely focused on the club activities.

"Why?"

"Xiao Mo, it was my idea. Last week we didn't go out, right? I thought we should have at least one club activity this weekend, don't you think?"

"Aren't you going out with Yuigahama and the others?"

Within the Service Club, Yui Yuigahama stood out the most. Unlike the others, including himself, who were loners isolated from the social atmosphere, she had her own circle of friends from the start.

The social butterfly and the outcasts.

The two should naturally be separated by a chasm—you on that side, and me on this side. Parallel lines that never meet.

While the outcasts stay home alone, pondering what to do, the social butterflies should be out having fun with their friends.

"I don't have any plans this weekend," Yui Yuigahama said.

Li Mo nodded, indicating he understood.

"When did Yukinoshita agree to this?"

"Last night."

"So you three went behind my back and made a group chat?! Damn, girls' friendships are terrifying. Six people can have over a dozen group chats." Li Mo clutched his chest, feigning distress.

Hachiman interjected, "Wait, why do you assume I knew about this? I didn't know either!"

"Ah, Hikki, you don't want to go?"

"No."

"But I already promised Komachi we'd all go together!" Yui Yuigahama said.

As one of Chiba's signature siscons, Hachiman Hikigaya's entire demeanor changed upon hearing his sister's name. "Why do you have my sister's contact info?!"

"Uh, well... I'll explain later! More importantly, Xiao Mo's opinion matters most, right? Isn't that so?"

Yui Yuigahama stammered, shifting the focus back to Li Mo.

Hachiman Hikigaya muttered to himself, but considering he could just ask his sister later, he decided to let it go.

Anything involving Komachi required careful handling!

"This kind of thing isn't a big deal. Let's see how things are by Friday. I have a meeting with Totsuka Saika. Hachiman, come with me!"

"You're really making me go with you?"

"Let's go."

"Fine."

Without needing any further prompting, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded and followed Li Mo out.

After all, sitting between two girls in the Service Club was far less appealing than going out with Li Mo.

It definitely wasn't because he wanted to see Saika!
