Chapter 134 [Bonus chapter] Learn to forgive

Hearing his words, Ely explained, “But uncle, even if you do faster in New Gods, you won’t be able to be more experienced at creating your own skills. In the game, you have the set skills that you follow.”

“If you are a healer, your job is only to heal people. You might unlock skills that allow you to fight, but it still won’t be good enough like warrior class.”

“The finite number of skills will always limit your growth. And besides that, the difference between Omega, Galaxy Controller, and Celestial are so huge that even with some of the strongest skills you could master from the game won’t help you.”

“I mean, you did see what happened to daddy when he tried to fight that dragon whose strength had reached Galaxy Controlling Rank. Besides, even with a game, you can’t surpass Emperor Rank no matter how much EXP you earn.”

“That being said. Currently, New Gods is indeed an opportunity for them. After all, their bloodlines aren’t strong enough to make rapid progress like other races. And, if they don’t rely on New Gods, it would take the life for them to reach S-Rank with one time awakened bloodline.”

James passed for a moment and asked, “Wait, what do you mean by one-time awakened bloodline?”

At this moment, Julia explained after interrupting Ely, “Don’t you know? Bloodlines can be awakened ten times. You see, genes are the foundation of a bloodline. Without a certain gene, one can’t have a bloodline.”

“Gene will slowly go under transformation if you focus on it. This transformation is measured by the percentage of aura that you can manifest. It’s like how you were training with mana.”

“Once you reach the 100% manifestation of aura, your bloodline will awaken. The first awakened is based on your age and talent, but from then on, you need to awaken it on your own.”

“Daddy doesn’t use points in Chaos Online to awaken their bloodline. Rather helped them awaken the bloodline limits. For example, that Emperor Wraith’s bloodline limit is five times.”

“But, we humans don’t even have bloodline, much less bloodline limit. This is why every planet in an individual galaxy sends their most powerful, lucky, and talented person as the representative in the Chaos Online.”

Hearing his words, James nodded his head and asked, “So, if I focus on my bloodline, I can also manifest that genetic aura like yours.”

“That’s a bit different. Uncle, what you have is bloodline. Although Genes are the foundation, it doesn’t mean they are a bloodline. Daddy and I don’t have a bloodline, but our genes have been manifested to 100% for ten times.”

“It seemed like when Daddy was almost dying, his bloodline was used to keep him safe, or maybe that is just a lie,” Julia answered.

“I think so. I don’t think Bloodline would be required to save me. I am sure that the universal spirit forcefully removed the bloodline from my body so I would be like regular humans.”

“Due to his oath or maybe some other restriction, he can’t kill me, but he can wait for me to die from old age. Unfortunately, my life had taken so many turns and twists that I am growing stronger.”

“That being said, I am not completely sure, so I won’t go and blame the universal spirit, nor do I can.” Brian sighed heavily as he also supported his daughter’s suspicion.

“By the way, I still don’t understand. How am I supposed to manifest genetic aura?” James asked.

Hearing his question, Julia and Brian chuckled.

“It’s just like how we did. Each gene will have different powers, so you won’t be able to control technology like us, but who knows, you might be able to increase your attack power or defense.” Brian responded.

“Then, you must teach me while we return to the earth.” James put his hand around Brian’s shoulder and requested.

“So, you basically ignored everything that Julia taught me?” Brian speechlessly looked at his friend.

James rolled his eyes and said, “Of course I did. I am not a geek. You didn’t say it would benefit me, so I just listened to the podcast the whole time.”

“What were you listening to?” Brian asked curiously.

“How to apologize.” James’ mood changed a bit as he answered.

Seeing the mood change, Brian was a bit surprised. He couldn’t help but smack James’ back with his palm.

“Congrats! It seems like you are going to bring an alien bride. Hahaha! First, one of your parents was an alien, and now you are going to bring an alien bride. I am afraid genes will disappear after four or five generations.”

James rolled his eyes and said, “Only if she forgives me.”

At this moment, he noticed conflicted gazes from Julia and Ely. Seeing their eyes, he understood what was going on in their minds. Brian’s daughters were experts at tech and other kinds of knowledge, but they weren’t that bright regarding emotions.

He smiled and walked in front of them. He patted their heads and said.

“You did what you thought was best in that situation. If you hadn’t launched that missile, Dragon Lord would, and Elden would’ve chased us. You wouldn’t be able to kill Elden and save Brian.”

“From the beginning, not only Specter declined to help us, they even helped the enemies. Yes, the person I loved was there, but he matters more to me than her.”

“I can’t say for the future, but I wouldn’t hesitate to do what you did right now. So, you don’t have to feel guilty about what you did. Besides, I have already lived with your father for a long time. I know how your genes work.”

When he said that, he looked at Brian for a moment and sighed.

“There is something that I wanted to tell you, though. You know your father matters a lot to me. He is my best friend, and I think of him as my brother. Our relationship has been strong for a long time.”

“But, I don’t want you two to become someone like your father.”

When he said that, Brian paused for a moment and sighed. It was true. He also doesn’t want his daughters to become someone like him.

But for his daughters, those words were a bit offensive. Before they could argue, James continued, “I know you love your father and would do anything for me.”

“There are people I love as well, but I have limits that I can’t cross. Yes, you can protect your father, but you must understand the consequences. Previously, if Elden hadn’t blocked that missile, you would’ve taken the life of billions of creatures.”

“Those creatures who didn’t even want to fight, who didn’t even have any hatred against you, who were even good people. There is a difference between protection and madness.”

“I don’t want you to become sinners. Taking the life of billions of creatures isn’t something that you can just do. It’s not about your power. It’s about your actions.”

“I can’t change your father. He is already beyond changing, but you two are still young. I want you two to understand that sometimes, you have to lose someone close to you for the greater good.”

“There aren’t thousands of people with your level of intellect. So, you can become someone even thousands or millions of people can’t be compared to. You need to choose what is good and what is pure madness.”

“Top ten superheroes of earth. They are worshiped around the world. Do you know why? Because they lost billions of people, they still went for peace, not war.”

“Yes, they threatened werewolves and vampires with war, but they basically wanted peace. That’s why they are superheroes. They are the people who can forgive someone.”

“If you don’t learn to forgive others, the cycle of hatred and war will never end. And, maybe you two wouldn’t be born as his daughters. As I said, I am not smart or strong, but I know what I should choose.”

“I am angry at you for what you did because nobody taught you anything. But from now on, try not to be like your father but those heroes. Because you two can save millions rather than taking their lives.”

James took a deep breath and turned around as he looked at Brian. He nodded and walked toward the door.

Brian sighed and patted their heads.

“It’s not something you need to think about right now. In fact, I also don’t want you to become someone like me. So, after we reach home, I want you two to spend more time with Charlotte.”

“As for now, let’s leave!”

Julia and Ely were intensely conflicted about their own morals and actions, but when he said to leave, they eventually followed him out. When they reached outside, they looked at the door, and Brian tried to lift it.

Surprisingly, he could. It was light as a feature.

“This is good. We can finally take it with us.” Brian smiled as he held the door.

“No, no, you can’t take it with you. I am going to take it with me.” Suddenly, a voice rang behind them, which startled them. It didn’t take them more than a second to recognize this voice.

They all turned around, and when they saw the man in front of them, they clenched their fists.

“It’s a surprise, isn’t it? Well, this surprise will be more amazing when I kill you.” Dragon Lord smiled at them as he lifted his index finger, pointing at Brian.

Brian was terrified.

‘Why? Why aren’t they reacting even though he is releasing his aura openly? Why?’
