Chapter 352: Getting Back Up!
Chapter 352: Getting Back Up!
Looking at the window plane of the hospital. Zeras blank eyes slowly moved away from it as he opened his lips, a puff of white air puffing out of his mouth...
“System, are you still there?” Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow as he watched the golden notification appear in front of his gaze.
[Yes.]
“When are you going to leave too?”
Zeras asked with a deadpan expression before the notification panel once again appeared.
[Technically it is after the Host dies...]
“Oh, you’ll wait for the next three years. Awwww...” Zeras said rolling his eyes in mockery.
“Well, at least I won’t be lonely till I die...”
[Yeah] the system notification appeared. It seemed he had once again returned to his normal chatty mode.
“I really am screwed, don’t you think?” Khan asked as he slammed down back on the bed.
[Hmm, that you’re an idiot...]
“No. It is about me sleeping my ass on the bed and sulking. This is a waste of time... I might have lost my cultivation base, but does that mean I have lost it all? How can I sit on the bed and think I’m done for?” Zeras asked as he jumped up from the ground and rose to his feet.
“From a trashy F-grade orphanage boy to a screwed rat lab. I was able to rise and become one of the greatest geniuses the EIA has ever seen. If I can survive that situation, then why can’t survive now that I have lost my cultivation base and even only have three more years to live? Why can’t I survive this? I still have three more years to live after all...” Zeras said to himself as he furrowed his eyebrows.
“But first I have to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of my current situation.”
[Why don’t I help you do that...] The golden notification suddenly appeared as Zera’s face dropped.
[Firstly, is that. You have lost your mana core. You have lost all your genes, your absolute morph gene, and your astral titan gene. Secondly, you only have here more years to live. If you had taken that dragon tear, you would have 23 more years to live. But now that you have returned it, you have only here more years to live. So, you don’t have much time left and you’ll be dying soon...]
“Well thank you for analyzing that out...” Zeras said as he snorted. The system never changes for once, it always tries to hit him even more anytime he suffers a loss.
“Now let me tell you the advantages. Firstly, is that I’m now out of the EIA...”
[Huh? How is that an advantage?]
The system notification panel appeared as Zera’s lips curved upwards.
“Firstly, is that, unlike regular EIA officials. I’m an elite EIA soldier which makes me forever tied with the EIA till my death. I can’t retire and I can’t join any other forces. No matter how beautiful it sounds, I’m still forever essentially a slave to the EIA, and I don’t have any hope of escaping those chains for the next at least 10 years. But now, I’m free, and not bonded to anything but myself and you. Do you understand?”
