Chapter 290 - Gaining Access To The Resistance Network! (1/2)

The queen's reminded him about a lot of things.

He had a world to go back to.

He had people waiting for him back there.

He had a life to live!

He had people who needed his protection!

He had grudges to settle with the demonic gods!

He had a lot of things to do, many responsibilities to uphold, and so he couldn't extend his stay here any longer.

”I know,” Elliot said, and to show that he meant it, he stood up from the cushion, stabilized himself, and told the queen to give him the mark of the resistor.

The queen asked him where he wanted it, and Elliot thought for a moment before saying that he wanted it tattooed on his back. The queen agreed. He took off his upper garment, revealing his muscular back to the queen. An enticing sight it was, but she didn't have any interest in her eyes. With a slightly arrogant look, she placed her white as snow palm on his back; instantly, thousands of texts surged out from the very spot where her hand rested on his shoulder.

The texts were black and seemed like codes, laws of some sort, or software.

They spread outward, covering Elliot's entire back.

Then, they contracted into a spiral form, forming the mark of the resistor.

”It's don–”

Before she could finish her words, the mark she had branded on Elliot shattered apart.

”This, how is it possible?!” A ripple finally appeared on the ever calm face of the queen. She, who was always as still as the ocean and as graceful as the sun, was no longer to keep her calm when she saw her creation shattering into pieces.

Elliot had also managed to shock the Saintess of the Spirit world who had seen her civilization fall from grace and rise from ashes, folk!

Elliot turned around and met her eyes that were as wide as saucers.

”Is there something wrong?” He asked.

”There is.”

The queen told him to stay still and started touching him here and there, and after a while, she exclaimed, ”You already have it on your back! That's why my branding didn't work. Though yours is the very first version that has long been outdated, and that's why even though you have the brand of a resistor, you couldn't connect with the main server and communicate with fellow resistors. As long as I put some codes into it, it will upgrade to the latest version and grant you different abilities. How did you get it, hmm?”

Elliot knew that he had the mark of a resistor as he got it back in the spirit forest. He didn't know what he could use it for, though. Thus, he lured her into making a brand on his back so that she would see it and spew out some information about it.

Some things were better left unsaid. Otherwise, a person can land himself in a pit of trouble impossible to survive, much less escape.

”A secret,” Elliot said with a mysterious smile on his face.

”Are you for real?”
