Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"KYA!!!!!" "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT MAN? !!!!" "George..." "..."

When the rest of my party saw the retched state of the corpse in front of me, their reactions were quite different. Pixie and D responded in a way that was understandable. Nyda murmured a name while wearing a sad expression, Leo remained stoic but held his wife's hand, Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

"Blargh!" "D! A-are you okay?"

'How amusing... despite being younger, Pixie is the one who managed to survive the shock," Lilly remarked disdainfully.

I couldn't blame him though, if you weren't used to such scenes, D's reaction would be normal. It took a special kind of bastard to remain unmoved by such a disgusting sight.

'I think it has more to do with her not understanding what she saw than anything else,' I replied casually.

'Hmm... you may be right, dear.'

The man, if you could call him that, was hardly a corpse. He still had his head and one arm. That was about it. He was skinless and missing all his other limbs and most of his torso.

But perhaps most unsightly of all, his internal organs were all still connected, like an ugly ass kebab. In addition, his heart and lungs were still moving. If this reaper truly was alive, how is he not dead?

'Exa, is that bastard still alive?'

[I am not sure, my lord. Use {Imaging} - MRI. I will try to see if there are still electrical signals flowing around his brain.]

'{Imaging} -MRI.'

I looked at the target, but didn't understand what I was seeing. But since I had Exa, she could do the heavy lifting for me.

[George Clay is alive, my lord. He is in a state that appears to be REM sleep].

'George Clay? Is that his name? REM sleep? You mean he is dreaming?'

[Yes, my lord. George R. Clay. The Wolverine of the 30th Floor. A well-known Phantom and defender. His alias is the Iron Wolverine.

Known for his courage and fighting spirit, he has been assigned to the 30th for over a century.]

'Yet he doesn't ascend to Specter? Why?'

[Records indicate that he keeps his wife company at the rank of Phantom. She refuses to ascend so as not to forget her daughter, who was murdered by the Trinity at a young age.]

Such a story was probably normal for Reapers. When their loved ones die, they do not want to evolve, as it would permanently sever their memories of the departed. I looked at the reaper with pity, but I had no time to grieve for him.

'Will he die if I take him out?'

[I do not know. Unless we examine the solution he is immersed in, I am unsure if that is the reason he is still alive. From the analysis of his body, it seems that all of his nerves are still intact, so the moment they all start firing again, he will feel an inordinate amount of pain.]

With a codename of Iron Wolverine, this bastard should be a badass. If he dies after I let him out, then that was his fate. I pulled out Ivory and shot the tank. I grimaced in annoyance as the bullet hole began to leak water.

The tank was over 5 feet wide and over 7 feet high. How much water could this thing hold? Once the pressure difference broke the glass, the liquid would pour out like a tsunami, and we would be drenched.

[As always, my lord, even with four brains you still act as impulsively as ever].

Just as I was about to complain, I heard Lilly's wonderful voice.

"Stock."

Along with her words, a large circular voice space appeared around the tank. Understanding her intention, I couldn't help but brag to Exa.

'Hahaha! Did you see that? Even without using my {Kindred} Link, my girls can already read my mind.'

[My Lord, that is because they knew they would get wet if someone broke the glass. It is just common sense].

'You are getting cheekier by the day, Exa. I can't say I'm pleased.'

While I was joking with Exa, the glass holding the tank together cracked and shattered. The water flowed down into Lilly's subspace doors without spilling a drop. "George" and his body parts fell to the floor and rolled.

Twisting and turning, the body seemed to be in agony. It raised it's hand and began to scream death resonance.

"{NO!!! COME BACK!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!! NOO!!!!}"

"Jas. Do you have one of Joshua's bullets with you?" I asked.

The big dicked Korean commander once told me that {Disarm} could take down elephants with ease. Hoping to ease George's pain, I had Jas help him.

My wifey, took out a pistol and fired a Hellsend bullet at the reaper's right wrist. The reaper stopped flailing and his arm fell to the ground.

I walked up to him and sent a thousand souls into his soulgem. That should be enough to keep George from dying for now.

'Exa, is there any way we can heal this bastard?'

[Not with the {Fates} or supplies at hand, my lord.]

How about {Rewind} or {Regen}?'

[My lord, without a saved {Auto}, even if the reaper used {Rewind}, there would be nothing to go back to].

I already knew that. Because of this restriction, {Regen} could not be considered a healing {Fate}. For people without a saved {Auto} state, none of my {Fates} would be able to help them.

'Can't we just make one?'

[How, my lord? If we do not know what his original body was like, what would guide {Rewind} to restore him properly?]

'Hmm. You can get it though, right?'

[What do you mean, my lord?]

'Just like D, you can take mental images and turn them into data, right? {Code}, would you be able to find out the details if you knew what the guy looked like?'

[She says it is possible. But she has no way to make the image into an {Auto}, according to her {Rewind} has always ignored her].

'{Rewind} ignores her? That is because it is an asshole. Then let us continue this experiment. {Withstand}, can you create a temporary body with {Shelter}?'

[My lord, why go through all this? Reapers are meant to die. This is his fate. We should let him rest.]

Somehow, I couldn't accept such reasoning. Didn't that mean I should give up on Evelyn? The whole premise of being a reaper was to fight death in order to live one more day.

'Please Exa, just humor me. If the guys say it is impossible, then I will stop. If it was just me, I would think it was impossible. But with 8 {Fates} working together, it believe in our potential.'

[Understood. The {Fates} say they will do their best to support you. {Withstand} says she can. {Eat} also promises to handle the reaper's organs so he doesn't die of shock. But {Code} repeats the fact that we do not know what he looks like.]

'What about Nyda? Doesn't she know?'

[According to {Code}, that is not enough. We also need to know his physical condition and abilities. Ah, wait...{Perceive} has a suggestion.]

'This is troublesome, Exa, can you create a {Program} that allows the guys to send me the messages directly like chats?'

[One moment. {Program} [Fates Eden] created. Launching]

[Fates Eden] online. Limitless connected. Welcome to Fates Eden]

[Members online: {Code}, {Eat}, {Withstand}, {Listen}, {Perceive}, {Store}, {Carry}, Exa.]

[Limitless: Oh, it worked! Great! Hi guys!]

[{Store}: Please refrain from that. We are not guys, call us masters instead].

Ho? So these {Fates} had personalities. How intriguing.

[Limitless: I see. Please forgive me. Limitless greets his masters.]

[Code: Why do you want to save this reaper, Limitless? Until now, you have cared little for anyone but the Sirens, your family, and Hellsend.]

Why did I want to do that? Come to think of it, I had no reason, I just wanted to see if I could. Instead of believing I couldn't, I wanted to believe the opposite. Until I have tried and failed, I will assume that I can.
