231 Chapter 228 Orion (1/2)

Joseph turned to Stella.

”What do you want to do with it now? It will probably keep healing until all the divinity he had acc.u.mulated is used up. I bet we could eat it.”

Suddenly, from both of them, a weird greenish-purple light emerged. NURKONG's body stood back up.

”Host has given System a body! System is free!” yelled the former NURKONG, before he shook his head, as if he didn't realize he had even said that.

”YAY! Don't worry, I won't stiff you on the life points you acc.u.mulated. I want to be friends with you, too. Hey, can you make me a Wizar?” asked the system, looking down at himself excitedly, as he shrunk in size to be closer to six foot tall, instead of forty.

”System?” Stella asked confused, sharing a look with Joseph.

”I don't think I want the Wizar to have a racial G.o.d besides me, system. Here,” said Joseph.

PERMANENT SHAPEs.h.i.+FTING - WIZAR.

”There. You should probably change your race a bit though. Even if you are a Wizar G.o.d, you would still have to obey me as king. I don't mind that; you can't hurt us.”

”Wait, I may have not thought this through…what's this memory?”

An illusion appeared in front of them. It looked like Joseph, but much older and rugged.

”HAHAHA! Screw all you G.o.ds! You think erasing me from ever existing was enough to stop me, EMIT?! I made plans and contingencies for even that. Who cares if I was disrupting the other realms trying to save my own? It was my realm!”

The figure turned from making a rather rude motion to the sky, towards Joseph.

”You should have been able to solve the problem easily. I made sure the system I made would favor you, and be installed as soon as you turned seven. I made sure you would have a desire to be a mage. You should have been able to purify the curse on the world tree by the time you turned eight, once the system taught you META, and you secured that fey girl who was the guardian of the tree. Just drain her blood on its roots, and bam! Bonus if you find her sword to do the bleeding.”

He shook his head at the news and looked at Joseph again. Everyone was stunned, but Joseph could tell the illusion was preprogrammed to look at him. It didn't matter that he wasn't a child, and that Stella stood next to him.

”d.a.m.n, I tried everything to fix the world tree, until I figured that out. I'm sure they didn't sacrifice her to finish its corruption, or you wouldn't even be seeing this message.”

He turned to look up, as if someone else had just appeared. ”Oh, and ENACRA? I won the bet. You can indeed, as just a mortal mage, create an entirely new soul from nothing. I didn't make it to pinnacle mastery in thaumatology for nothing. My little system here is proof.”

He turned and looked back at Joseph.

”d.a.m.n, all the trouble I went through to make sure this time would be smooth and none of the G.o.ds would interfere before you could sneak to the world tree and cleanse it. Well boy, I bet NURKONG's gonna be p.i.s.sed, that d.i.c.k, but don't worry. Tibbles should be released from his seal in the world tree now, and he'll beat his dorky twin brother up for you. Go do all the things I wasn't able to do, since that s.e.xy b.i.t.c.h killed me when I was a prince. Have a hot wife. h.e.l.l, have a dozen. h.e.l.l, just get a bunch of concubines, now that I think about it.

”I can't recall anyone I know who was happily married. The system I made should have given you magery even though we weren't born with it, without the searing pain of being drenched in dragon blood, like I had to go through. You should thank me for that, alternate me.

”Well, that's about all I've got to say. Oh, system. I know you probably can't forgive me for making you, and then disappearing and all that, but always know, you are the most fantastic creation of magic and science that ever has and ever will be made. It took 200 years to perfect you, so that you would continue to grow after I was erased. You don't take any lip from any of those whiny G.o.ds. Especially EMIT!”

They all shared a look as the illusion disappeared.

Stella looked at Joseph with an eyebrow raised, and he shrugged.
