Chapter 1088 - 1088 – Unexpected Idol (1/2)

As Siral woke up, Gravis could see confusion in his eyes.

As far as Siral knew, he was just about to undergo Samsara. But now, he was lying on the ground.

”Did something happen?” Siral asked as he stood up in confusion.

Gravis sighed.

”Samsara killed you,” Gravis answered.

Siral's mind stopped.

Killed him?

He had died?

”But then, how am I here?” he asked in shock.

”Arc deleted all the new memories and restored your old ones. Then, I recreated your personality based on your Law fragments before you underwent Samsara. You are still in the same body with the same Spirit and same mind. We simply repaired you, in a sense,” Gravis answered.

Siral still tried to come to terms with the fact that he had died.

”Why did I die?” Siral asked.

”I'm not sure,” Gravis said. ”I can't watch someone's soul while undergoing Samsara. Arc didn't tell me. I can only make an educated guess, which is that it probably has something to do with your chosen path to power. However, I can't be sure.”

Siral didn't speak for a while.

He simply tried to come to terms with everything he was hearing.

”So, I was the only one of the group that died,” Siral answered with a lost voice.

”Sadly, yes,” Gravis said. ”However, you can't put it like that. Everyone in the group has a very powerful and stable personality. Samsara is very destructive, and surviving it isn't easy. Nearly everyone struggled while overcoming it, and they had all been changed.”

Siral could understand Gravis' words, but that didn't help him much.

He was still the only one that died to Samsara.

This made him feel inferior to the others.

”Also,” Gravis added, ”don't forget that you are actually not the only one.”

”What do you mean?” Siral asked.

”Joyce,” Gravis answered. ”Joyce would have died just like you. However, in comparison to her, you actually had a chance of overcoming Samsara. If she undergoes Samsara, her death is basically a certainty.”

Siral thought about Joyce.

Joyce had a powerful Battle-Strength, but even she would have died to Samsara.

This thought made it easier for Siral to accept his current situation.

”I can help you undergo Samsara again, but not now,” Gravis said. ”If you want to survive, you need to think about your life and think about the things you regret. Additionally, I would advise you to wait for at least 200,000 years. Your perception of time needs to be expanded. Otherwise, you will simply die again.”

”The next time you undergo Samsara, you will truly die. This was a one-time thing, and your life is in your hands. I will let you undergo Samsara whenever you want. I won't warn you if I think that you will die again. It's your life. So, only ask for Samsara when you are certain you can survive.”

Siral took a deep breath.

”Thank you, Gravis,” Siral said.

”There's nothing to thank me for,” Gravis said. ”You underwent one of the cruelest deaths imaginable. You went through thousands of years of torture that pushed you to the point that you voluntarily killed yourself.”

”I understand,” Siral said, ”but I'm talking more about the fact that you will allow me to undergo Samsara again in the future. This opportunity is worth a lot.”

”No problem,” Gravis answered. He was happy that Siral was alive, but he still wasn't in the mood to smile right now.

Gravis had been careless, and it had nearly cost him the life of one of his friends.

The two of them left Gravis' Life Ring and returned to the outside world.

”Oh, hey, you're back!” Ferris shouted with excitement. ”I thought you died!”

Siral looked at Ferris with a bitter smile.

”Sadly, I actually died. Luckily, I was saved by Gravis and Arc,” Siral said.

”Oh? You died!?” Ferris asked in shock. ”That's super bad! Everyone's so powerful now! Are you also more powerful?”

Siral grimaced.

Ferris was a nice guy, but his simple mind made him blurt out things without any consideration.

However, Siral knew that Ferris didn't mean these comments as an insult.

”I don't remember undergoing Samsara,” Siral said. ”My power hasn't increased.”

”Oh, okay. That sucks,” Ferris said. ”But you're still very powerful.”

Siral only laughed bitterly.

”Am I? Why can't I see it?” he asked.

”Yeah,” Ferris answered with several nods. ”Your attacks are super powerful. It's like super hard to resist them.”

Siral sighed.

”Sure, my attacks might be very powerful, but I can only launch one at a time.”

”Why?” Ferris asked.

”Because, as soon as my opponent notices my presence, I have to flee,” Siral answered.

”Why?” Ferris asked again.

”Because I'm not good at direct confrontations. I'm good at attacking and good at fleeing. Sadly, I'm not good at everything else,” Siral said.

Ferris remained silent for a bit.
