Chapter 632 Help
Chapter 632: Help
"What happened?" Ryder asked, frowning. He wondered how things ended up as they did. He wasn’t even sure what actually happened, but from the tone of the Shadow, he could believe that it wasn’t good.
"Something went wrong between the Two Ancestors. And one of them sealed the other forever," the Shadow answered. "As for the one who was sealed, it was the Ancestor who created him..."
"You mean who created your partner? Ahh! I understand now. So he was upset that your Ancestor sealed his? And then he did the same for you in revenge?" Ryder exclaimed, understanding a few things.
"That’s close. That event resulted in the battle between the two of us. Ultimately, I lost. And I was sealed here, forever," the Shadow answered.
"Why didn’t he kill you?" Ryder asked, frowning.
"Because he couldn’t. I have Origin Immunity. I couldn’t be killed even by him," the Shadow answered.
"Ahh! So that’s what Origin Immunity meant! So that’s what I received at that time!" Ryder exclaimed, remembering receiving this skill from the bracelet.
"Hmm? Did you receive Origin Immunity? Why can’t I sense it?" The shadow asked, placing its hand on the head of Ryder.
"Because I don’t have it anymore. Anyway, does it work to make you a True Immortal? I thought Gods were already Immortal?" Ryder asked.
"Gods are Immortal, but they aren’t True Immortal. They can be killed, and I’m sure many have already died. Only the ones that have Origin Immunity are true Immortals," the Shadow answered. "And only they’re truly Undying, but they’re not undefeatable either."
"Anyway, you said you had Origin Immunity? But now you don’t have it? How is that possible?" It asked further, curious.
"Because my other half took it," Ryder answered, sighing.
"Your other half?" The shadow asked, confused.
"Yeah. Actually...."
Ryder started explaining everything that had happened to him, from how he lived his life to how he received the system. He even talked about how he received the Origin Immunity and how he killed the God-sons.
Ultimately he talked about meeting Chaos and finding out about his true history and how these two were the same person. In the end, he said how he didn’t have his real body now.
"Ah, so that’s what happened. That’s why you were able to enter this place. I was wondering about this," the Shadow let out, laughing.
"What do you mean? I was able to enter because of these stickers. These made the walls useless to me," Ryder explained, showing the sticker he possessed.
"That’s true. These things made the walls useless for you, but that wasn’t how you were able to enter. There was another Barrier placed inside the wall. It was to stop any human, beast, any other species, or any god. It also stopped puppets from entering."
"It was all a precaution to make sure no one found out about me in the future. But you’re not a human now. You’re not a god either. Also, you’re not any other species, and you’re certainly not a beast. You aren’t a puppet either since you have a real soul."
"I believe that’s why you managed to pass through. Moreover, your blood..."
The shadow stopped, sighing his head.
"What about my blood?" Ryder asked, confused.
"Your Blood is the Godly Blood. It seems like that Chaos left his blood to you to give you those powers that you possess now. That’s also the reason I was awakened," the shadow answered, looking down. It observed a blood droplet mark that was left on the ground. As for the blood, it was absorbed by the ground.
"Your blood was a God’s blood. It was a Divine Blood that was absorbed by this place, and the Divinity ultimately reached to me, waking me up. Without that blood, I wouldn’t be up," it further added.
"What about the lock on the coffin? I thought I sliced it which freed you?" Ryder asked.
"That lock? Nah, it was an ordinary lock. It wasn’t anything special. I was out way before you but the lock. In fact, I was standing behind you when you sliced it," the Shadow replied, smiling.
"Anyway, I should thank you for waking me up," he further added. "But then again, my awakening will only further boost the commotion in the world. He would soon find out about my awakening and come to fight me."
"I’ll have to fight back, and many worlds will be destroyed in the process. I haven’t regained all my strength since I just woke up. It doesn’t seem like I’m ready to face him," he continued, sighing.
"That isn’t something you should concern yourself with though. I’ll find a way to do it. Tell me, what gift do you want for helping me? I’ll try to grant that to you before I leave in search of a place to rest."
"Is there a way I can help you?" Ryder asked, slightly concerned. "You seem like a nice person."
"Nice... Hahaha, it’s the first time someone called me nice. Thank you, but you’re the real nice one here. Not me. In any case, I’ll only trouble you more if I take your help."
"There’s no trouble. Just tell me how I can help you. At least until you recover? Should I try contacting Janus? He basically broke all his relationships with me. But maybe he’ll listen now? He should be able to help you?" Ryder suggested.
"No. I don’t need the help of God. They can’t help me either. But then again, I think I should take your help. At the same time, I should help you too," the shadow said, frowning.
"What do you mean help me too?"
"Your Blood awakened me. I’m sure. He’ll sense that when he comes here. He would find you through that Blood. But if I stay inside your body, I can modify your blood essence a little, so he can’t reach you."
" Moreover, your body is a perfect place to hide. He can’t sense me there because of...."
"Anyway, that would be good for us both. I can rest inside your body while sharing my strength with you. We can both grow together. Moreover, because of my essence, soon, you’ll be as strong as Chaos. I’m sure you’d love that, won’t you?"
"Getting as strong as him... Ah, that would certainly be good. But the Blood part is the best. I wouldn’t want to be found because of that. My family would be put at the risk. Moreover, it would help you too. I would accept that" Ryder agreed to the suggestion, allowing the shadow to use his body to hide.
