Chapter 180: Arthur
Chapter 180: Arthur
Minato appeared beside Kitsune. His hand rubbed his chin in deep thoughts.
"That boy... He had some of my bloodline. It is very faded but he is my descendant for sure."
Seija, now able to transform into a human, appeared as a young teenage girl.
"Descendant? Are you even that old?"
The white-haired girl chuckled softly. "Minato is three hundred years old."
Seija widened her eyes and looked at Minato again. "That old? I thought human died in their fifties or something?"
"Human does have a shorter lifespan than us." Kitsune said. "But they could live longer the higher rank they are."
"Wait a minute. So do we live longer as well?" Seija scratched her head.
"Yes. The lifespan of a Yokai in Champion Rank is around... 2,000 years." Kitsune said.
Seija’s eyes rolled through the back because of how surprise she was.
"I don’t even know what to do in 2,000 years!" Seija said.
"You enjoy life, Seija." Carter stood up. "Seek the higher realm of existence. Protect our Kingdom and followers. And maybe, you can find someone you love too. Just like Kitsune."
The Fox Guardian blushed gently under her mask.
"Nah! I don’t like romance. A partner would only slow me down." Seija said confidently.
’Really now... Unfortunately, I already saw that you would fall into a deep web of love in the future.’ Carter thought to himself.
Something was better to not speak out.
"The construction of the Holy City is being carried out nicely." Minato said. "Tenmaru has also finished appointed all the positions in the Councils. We only picked those that the seers have divined."
Carter nodded, "Shingo is finally becoming a true Kingdom."
Jado had become Shingo. This wasn’t just a name change. The entire Kingdom had switched from a savage unsafe country to a religious orderly machine.
Carter had spent six entire months to finish everything up. Thankfully because of the Dolls, he didn’t had to do everything himself.
Yes, Dolls. Not a Doll. He didn’t forget practicing his Mirror and Primal Art.
[Total Synchronization Gain]: 51,840.3%
[Shrine Maiden’s Current Synchronization]: 61,874.3%
[Acquired x5 Shrine Maiden Dolls]
[Acquired x46 Shrine Maiden Champion Seed]
[Acquired x422 Shrine Maiden Token]
Shrine Maiden Dolls forced the Skin to change to its feminine version. That was not ideal. So Carter did spend half of the time practicing Primal Art with Spiritual Invoker.
[Total Synchronization Gain]: 38,880.9%
[Spiritual Invoker’s Current Synchronization]: 43,022.4%
[Acquired x4 Twin Invoker Dolls]
[Acquired x35 Twin Invoker Champion Seed]
[Acquired x350 Twin Invoker Token]
Carter had both masculine dolls and feminine dolls now. There was one side effect though.
Even when equipping the right skin to the right gender doll, the doll would still influence the appearance of the skin.
Zeneros Blackburn had black hair and no visible scars on him. But when Carter equipped the skin to the Twin Invoker Doll, Zeneros Blackburn would have silver hair, face scars, and his body would become much more muscular than before.
The skin would also receive signature abilities of the original skin, like Twin Formation, Body Transference and other related skills.
The strength of the skin would only stay at 70% of the total power level. Only when the right skinline was equipped that the skin may have a 100% synchronization of power.
Despite all of its limitations, the Dolls finally resolved Carter’s characters issue. He no longer needed to play one single part at a time. He could play every parts at the same time.
Seija would not be questioning why Mikoto and Musashi never appeared in the same room anymore.
Carter left two dolls behind at Wild Earth. A Shrine Maiden Doll and a Twin Invoker Doll. He equipped Shrine Maiden and Spiritual Invoker to them.
With a version of him staying behind to guide Tenmaru and divined the future, Carter was finally assured to leave. The two Skins would also continue to find more disciples and teach more of their Mental Arts, raising the power of Shingo.
In one particular night, without anyone knowing, Carter left Giyaku and found a secret place to board the Prime Train.
’Sigh. That was quite a ride. An entire year in Wild Earth. I managed to conquer a nation and built a new religion. It is still a long way in conquering the entire Wild Earth but still, it is a good beginning.’
Yuuki. Moukei. Enzan. Rikiro. The other four Kingdoms were still a threat. Each had their own Champions, strength, and weaknesses.
Carter needed to do it properly to make sure the World Key was his.
He returned to Eldritch Arms first to make sure that his first conquered world was safe. The World Barrier would only stay on for six years. One years had passed. Only five years left.
Back in Eldritch Arms, the Metabolic Institute slowly had more and more students. Apart from the original three, Nina, Quill, and Nicholas, many more human had successfully became Superhuman with the help of Heart Race Potion.
Dr. Avaline had also done many researches of the Potion and Superhuman. He successfully created a weaker variation of the Heart Race Potion.
It had a much lower percentage of successfully turning a human into a Superhuman but it had much less danger as well.
And the most important thing was, it could be mass produced using Hexilia’s own resources.
This meant that Superhuman could now be easily replicated.
There was one particular case among the new awakened Superhuman.
Kaito entered the room. He noticed that Caine had returned with a silver-haired man.
"Master Caine! When did you return..."
Kaito froze when he saw the face of the silver-haired man. It was Zeneros Blackburn, the legendary figure that slain Belina Du Manac.
His hair had changed and he had a giant scar on his face. But that was him alright.
"Eldritch Knight..." Kaito’s lips quivered.
"Calm down, Kaito. It’s just Zeneros." Carter said.
Kaito gulped. He met Zeneros many times before. But Zeneros was the savior of the entire world now. It was different from back then.
"I understand. I’m sorry for my reaction. Mister Drake is waiting for you outside."
"Please lead him in, Kaito."
"Yes, sir."
The skinny boy entered the room. The young man in question was Arthur Drake. The same kid that Carter saved a long time ago.
He was the only one that was able to become a Superhuman without any assistance from the outside.
