Chapter 374 I need to run away
In the vast space, Kyle stared at Nesis, the horned man who had achieved true consciousness and a physical form after a thousand years of hard work.
No, more specifically, the latter had consumed a lot of people's lifespans to reach the divine rank.
Kyle found out about this when Nesis pulled a piece of paper out of thin air and placed it in front of him with a smile. But Kyle didn't even look at it.
Instead, he tore the paper and burned it right in front of Nesis's eyes. There was no way he would sign a contract with something that feeds on the lifespan of others.
Kyle patiently waited as Nesis placed his fingers on his wrist. After his threat, the man agreed to answer his questions in exchange for only ten years of lifespan.
'After all, if he didn't, he would have to stay stuck here with me for a long time.'
A sharp pain traveled through his body, but it disappeared as quickly as it came.
Kyle saw it clearly when white energy emerged from his skin and entered Nesis's head, which glowed brightly.
'I said it would be okay to give away ten years of my lifespan, but I still feel bad about it... Well, once I'm out of this place, I'll take it back. And if I can't, I'll just destroy his true body as compensation.' This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
His eyes turned cold, but they returned to normal when Nesis opened his eyes wide with pure shock and astonishment. The man even distanced himself from Kyle, his forehead sweaty. Kyle raised an eyebrow, surprised.
'Did he somehow figure out what I was thinking?'
Nesis took a moment to pause and wiped his forehead. However, the gaze he gave Kyle had completely shifted. If before, he wanted to take Kyle's lifespan because of the otherworldly thing inside his body, now he wanted nothing to do with the human in front of him. Not after learning about his past.
"Your body should have withered the moment you were born, and the essence within you should have returned to nature. No, you weren't supposed to stay alive in the first place..."
He paused because the pair of brilliant green eyes staring at him narrowed dangerously. Nesis sensed the faint blue particles trembling around Kyle's body and quickly shut his mouth with a loud click.
'Now, I'm not sure if nature is favoring him or if the essence inside him is forcing nature to compensate for the fact that it didn't write his fate.'
Nesis went up to Kyle, feeling a bit scared but he knew he had to answer the human's questions if he wanted to leave. He put his middle finger on Kyle's forehead. Kyle furrowed his brow, but he didn't feel any danger, so he didn't stop him.
"How about seeing your past from my perspective?"
Kyle blinked but nodded. He also felt the blue particles on his skin getting a little restless, but he wanted to know.
He wanted to know everything about himself. The moment he thought about it, the particles calmed down a bit and let Nesis do what he wanted to do.
Instantly, a white light emerged from Nesis's finger and entered his forehead. Kyle closed his eyes when a worried voice echoed inside his head.
...
Kyle opened his eyes and found himself floating inside a room he recognized. It was his father's room, a place he had seen many times before.
His gaze paused on the beautiful woman sitting on the bed. She had a worried expression, her eyes fixed on the newborn baby lying beside her. Kyle couldn't look away as the woman grabbed the arm of the healer who was checking the baby.
"What happened to my son? Why isn't he waking up?"
