Chapter 641: I know just the thing [2/2]
[Limitless: Because I am Limitless. Common sense does not apply to me]
[{Withstand}: You make such claims because of semantics? Your hubris will be your undoing. I answered for the sake of answering. But I have no intention of helping you.]
[{Eat}: Why do you all have to be so stubborn? It is not as if we have anything better to do. Just help him, it seems like fun.]
[{Carry} I have told you all that this man is different. He is not like the others.]
[{Store} How many times do we have to go through this, {Carry}? When will you learn? This is all pointless. Let's stop this.]
[{Listen} That's because you are weak! Like children afraid of getting hurt! Limitless, you have my support. {Perceive} and I can find out what he looks like, but we have to get inside his mind.]
It was amusing to see the conflicting opinions of the {Fates}. It reminded me of how the Sirens were always debating shit. There were those who supported me and those who did not.
[Limitless: {Carry}, {Eat}, {Listen}, thank you for your support. {Withstand}, {Store}, I am not sure why you two are against this, but please help me just this once. We have done amazing things together. I am where I am because of all of you. I can only make such claims because you are with me.]
[{Carry}: So what do the rest of you say? Why not try one last time?]
[Limitless: Please. Please. Alone, I am nothing, but I know that as long as we are together, we are limitless.]
Even though I just met them today, these seven {fates} have been with me since the beginning of my journey. They were not my subordinates or tools, but my most trusted allies. Every time I thought I could no longer move forward, I was able to do so because of them.
[Code: Haha. As if any of you could ever resist this man... Ignore these two, Limitless. Once {Perceive} and {Listen} give me the data I need, I can create the {Auto}. But the problem is that the {Rewind} bastard is gone. Who will command his {Fate}.
We cannot use {Rewind}].
Hearing {Code}'s words, I felt sad. It seemed that {Rewind} really left. It felt bittersweet. He was an asshole, but he was like a part of me. funnily enough it seems the other {Fates} didn't like him either.
'I wonder where he went?'
[{Perceive}: Let Exa do it.]
[{Listen}: Sounds like a plan!]
[Exa: Me? But I am not a {Fate}?]
[{Eat}: You are being silly, is there even a difference at this point?]
[{Code}: Okay, that's one problem down. {Store}, {Carry}, you two will assist {Withstand}. She will create the frameworks. {Store} will move and shape the pieces as needed. {Carry} will bind them all together. {Eat} will be the one that fuels it.
Instead of doing it all at once, we will do it piece by piece, healing along the way?]
[{Store}: Fine.]
[{Carry}: I will try my best.]
[{Withstand}: Do whatever you wish!]
[Exa: {Code}, what should I do?]
[{Code}: Restrict {Rewind} from activating all at once. I will teach you how.]
[{Perceive}: Wait, how do we get to his brain?]
A quick way for the {Fates} to get between the skull and the brain. I have exactly the thing.
[Limitless:] Leave it to me. I know just the thing.
[Store]: Do not speak of this to the Sirens. You will regret it if you do.]
[Connection to [Fate's Eden] terminated. Limitless disconnected]
At the same time I was disconnected, I felt my soulgem burning again. It was probably the new {Kismet} in my possession. I ejected the magazine from Ivory and used my new ability on the topmost bullet.
"Bestow. {Restore}."
I then loaded the magazine and hit the slide return. Wasting no time, I aimed the gun at the reaper's brain and fired. Like a video in reverse, the corpse in front of me quickly healed.
With joy. I sent my thanks to my trusted allies.
'Thank you, my masters. I will return the favor.'
'Dearest! How absurd! You are breaking common sense again! I am beginning to understand why Bella keeps calling you a cheater!'
'Beloved, you have done another amazing thing.'
'Husband. How?'
'Haha, please forgive me for this one-time everyone, {Rewind} is kind of lame compared to Siren's {Fates}. Let me power up a bit too.'
I made a lame excuse because I had no idea how to explain it. This was the joint effort of our {Fates}, who for some reason said to keep it a secret.
"Hghg? Hjghghghghjgh?"
The body healed at an unimaginable rate. Confused, I walked up to the reaper and showed him my face. But instead of looking at me, he began scanning the others around him.
When he saw Nyda, he began to stir. His already healed throat was immediately forced to speak.
"N-Nyda? Is that you? The one in the armor is your boyfriend, right? Rio or something? The brooding bastard?"
"Hi George. Yeah, it's me... Um... Yeah. It's Leo... He's not just my boyfriend anymore.
I married him... He's my {Kindred} now..."
I ignored their small talk and concentrated on watching the changes in his body. Right now, George already had most of his upper body back. He even had some hair.
"Oh? That's wonderful...I'm happy for you. Marrying the one you love is the greatest happiness you could ever have...that's so great...too bad I didn't get to see you in a dress...when did you say you got married?"
"It was about two months ago. George."
Just then the Reaper began to tremble. He began to cry tears of sorrow.
"She's gone...I can no longer feel my {Kindred}. Abigail. Abigail...Abigail....!!!!"
Everyone in the room felt his pain. For those who knew what it felt like to have a {Kindred}, we could also clearly imagine losing them. And it was not something I thought I could survive.
However, the Reaper in front of me, still in tears, forced himself to stand up. As he did so, he saw his pitiful condition. But instead of feeling sorry for himself, death resonance gushed out of him. It was so thick that it became hard to breathe. It was almost at the level of the Specter.
"You there... help me put me back together... I don't care if you know where my parts go or not. Just stuff them into my torso. The {Fate} to put me back together is yours, right?"
I nodded and began shoving all the organs back into the hole in his body. With each passing second, the hole closed faster and faster.
"Thank you. I don't know your name, but I wouldn't be alive without you. The vampires stole my {Kindred}. I betrayed my duty to keep her safe. But in the end, I could not save her.
"You may report me and claim the bounty on my head. But please let me do one last thing. Since the love of my life is no longer with us, I would like to dedicate my remaining time to killing every last bloodsucker I can. You may do with my corpse whatever you wish after I am gone."
Metal as hell, I couldn't help but smile at his words. I grabbed his hand and replied.
"I understand. I am not a reaper from North America. I am here on another mission. But we are also on a war path to kill the vampires, you are more than welcome to join us. What is your name Reaper?"
Even with only half a body, he pulled himself upright with my hand and sheer force of will.
"George R. Clay. Help me up, son. I got work to do." Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
Feeling that this man would be someone I needed in my army, I moved him to a nearby table and gave him another {Restore}.
"Are you willing to die for your revenge?"
"I am."
"Cool."
Then I shot him a second time between the eyes.
'How absurd. I retract my earlier statement,' Lilly said annoyed.
'Hmm? What do you mean Lilly?'
'Nothing dear. I just remembered how cool you are.'
We then waited while George R. Clay rapidly re-grown his limbs. At that rate, it must have been agonizing and painful. But the Wolverine said nothing, instead he flexed his muscles the moment he felt them return.
Hopefully, know we would understand just what the hell happened here.
