Chapter 1589 The Heart Of A Protoss
If he had the Acid Dragon King\'s Heart, then he would immediately evolve Dodu into an Elder Black Sludge. If he had the Everlasting Dark Heart, then he would definitely evolve Dodu into a Shoggoth. The items needed for the evolution of a slime is not easy because the slimes are already wiped out from this timeline.
Adrian always told himself that he would evolve Dodu to any of the three if he gets the item needed. He did not expect that the item that he would get first is the Heart of a Protoss. In fact, it was not only Adrian that was bewildered but also the game developers as that item in question is not easy to procure.

"How did a Void Being get the Heart of a Protoss? I thought that should only be available to get when they travel to the Abandoned World 01?" One of the game developers asked.
"Actually, one needs to traverse the Void to get to that place. It was in the lore that the Protoss escaped the universe of Pandemonium because the dark gods wanted them as ingredients for their vessels. It was stated that some Protoss did lose their life in the journey.
A heart or two lying about in the Void is not something impossible for the race of the Void Scyphozoa. They often pick up strange things along the way that they deem as beautiful. They are a curious race after all, but they are also very greedy.
The fact that he was able to get something from that being is already well deserved. He was able to maximize the connection with just a day. One might say that he is too immersed in that world, but he deserves the item." The game developer that designed the Void Scyphozoa stated.
"You also have to see what he gave up in order to get that thing. He gave up a precious talisman that could potentially save his life. A mythical talisman like that is something that any one in the top ranks would want." Another developer stated.

Adrian did not know that he was able to ignite a debate once more, but he is glad he got an evolution item. He needed to increase Dodu\'s presence more as he only used him for tanking. He would usually just summon the slime when there is a horde of enemies to devour.
"I can just say that I am quite lucky with this! I just need to fulfill the next requirement which should be easier than getting the item." Adrian stated as he looked at the requirements for the evolution.

Adrian took out the Heart of a Protoss to see what it looks like up closely. The heart is not even shaped as a heart but just looks like a large pearl. It radiated this rainbow light when sunlight is shining down on it as if it was a prism. What Adrian could detect is that this item has a powerful source of life energy inside of it.
Adrian summoned Dodu and handed the Heart of a Protoss to his soulbound. Dodu happily accepted the item as it jiggled its body because it was given another treat. Adrian could not believe that his soulbounds has become a glutton when it does not even have a concept of satiety.
Slimes do not get hungry or full as they are just beings that eat whatever is in front of them. They might get a preference when they consume too much of something and evolve but they do not get full. This is also one of the reasons why they are feared back then because a large rampaging slime can demolish a village in one gulp.
Dodu did not even wait for Adrian to tell it to eat the Heart of a Protoss as it just ate it in one gulp. Nothing special happened for the first few minutes but Adrian suddenly felt a sudden rush of energy from his connection to Dodu. The slime suddenly started to bubble up as intense energy flooded its whole being.
Dodu\'s fluid like body suddenly started to shrink as it became the size of a basketball. Its body then crystallized and transformed into a rainbow pearl that has the same features as the Heart of a Protoss. Adrian did not panic as he looked at the notifications first to see what happened as Dodu has still signs of life from their connection.
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has ate the Heart of a Protoss.]
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has entered a state of perpetual absorption of energy from the Heart of a Protoss.]
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has sealed its body because it cannot easily control the potent energy that has entered its system.]
[You would need an external force to consolidate the potent energy inside of Dodu or a large amount of time must pass.]
[You cannot return Dodu to your Soul Chamber while it is in this form.]
Adrian sighed with relief as Dodu was still fine and is only sealed because of too much energy inside of its body. Adrian could also feel the potent energy that was in that Heart of a Protoss but Dodu blocked most of it which is why it did not flow towards him. If the potent energy flowed towards Adrian, then he might have exploded at that moment.
"It seems Dodu protected me by getting sealed. I must do my best to awaken it then." Adrian stated as he went to the location where the last requirement could be fulfilled.

There might be great battles happening in the western continent with their gods and the northwestern part of the world with the angel and dragon war, but Avalon is still busy. The busiest area of Avalon would none other than the Church of the Twin Gods. Players and even NPCs would travel to this location to get the blessings of the two most powerful gods.
People would pray to the God of Death Abaddon to ensure that their deceased loved ones are in peace or to have them be protected from death. The ones that usually pray to the God of Death Abaddon are the elderly that want to have a peaceful end or to pray for their deceased loved ones. This is represented in the left section of the church.
People would pray to the Goddess of Life Gaea to ensure safe delivery of newborns and a healthy life. The ones that usually pray to her are the newly weds that wants to have the blessing of a child. This is represented in the right section of the church.
The church is basically split in half with the God of Death Abaddon\'s mural is at the left side while the Goddess of Life Gaea is on the right. A somber atmosphere could be seen on the left side, but it granted someone peace of mind and soothes a wounded soul. A lively atmosphere could be seen on the left side as the vibrant color and energy made one incredibly energetic.
Adrian cannot just barge inside a territory of the Gods of Life as he is not always welcomed in their domain because they are busy. Also, the Gods of Life barely have realms to begin with as they hid their realms even from other gods. The Gods of Life rarely interact with other gods as they can influence life itself which is dangerous if they form a bias since they should be partial.
There has been an incident back then when a God of Life was too biased with one race that he made them too powerful and hard to kill. This race was the trolls with their incredible regeneration, but they also became hunted down because of their precious blood. This almost led to the extinction of the trolls if not for the timely interference of the Goddess Gaea.
"Honestly, I do not know any other Goddess of Life other than the Goddess Gaea. I should just pray for her to give Dodu the blessing as I have been a good boy and done all she asked of me." Adrian thought as he went to a more secluded area to pray that is given to those that are part of the Church of the Twin Gods.
