Chapter 217 - Immortality Or Eternity First Half (1/2)

As far as history goes, there are people who seek immortality to preserve their own life, legacy and live forever. Although no one has achieved the feat of obtaining it, there are some who almost managed to do so and as time goes by, the only thing that they wish for is their death. There is only one thing that is left for them and that would be their regret seeing all of their loved ones die one by one and seeing all the things changing while you remain unchanged. It is a solitary and lonely life.

However, from the looks of this guy, he wanted to get immortality, so that he can rule over the world or something similar. Although I would say that is a very brilliant plan even though it is somewhat evil, it isn't much that genius feat. And if he is trying to say this is for the sake of humanity, immortality is not needed. In fact, it will become a real problem instead of all people in the world are immortal. Soon enough, this world will become too overpopulated and there will come a time where there will be no more space for a person to walk since all places are occupied by a person.

The mad scientist, Dr. Katakura frowned while I grin at him for declining his ideals of everyone becoming an immortal.

”Why? Why are you rejecting the blessing of becoming an immortal? Isn't it everyone's wish to live forever?”

”Well, I won't deny that some people wanted to live forever, but that is not something everyone wishes. More like it is an optional thing. I am not saying it is a necessity to become an immortal but for me, it is a bit wrong for a person to a God's work. Rather, you should just let nature do its own course. Manipulating it and acting like a god for your own inconveniences is just one bad thing.”

”Hmph, so you want to die that badly?”

”No, I still wanted to live. However, I am more satisfied to live a life that I can be proud of and leave this world with a significant contribution. Living forever is not a life I prefer.”

”I don't know what you are talking about but I am pissed at your philosophy. It's so hypocritical enough that I want to puke.”

”Your study to immortality is not wrong. However, your method to do it is wrong. Like real wrong. You should turn yourself to the police and confess your crimes!”

”Hmph, then you have to die here. You don't want immortality, then just go and die!” he then pulls out a pistol from his lab gown and aimed it at me. He quickly pulled the trigger to shoot me dead.

PENG!

Dr. Katakura frowned when a metallic sound caused his bullet to disappear.

”I see. You have been so corrupted you no longer regard human life as precious. Seeing you have a gun in your arsenal means that you are ready to kill anytime and anywhere. Then, if that is the case, I will not hold back either.”

”A weapon...?”

Dr. Katakura looked at the thing on my hand. He frowned when it was revealed to be a sword.

”Huh. So ordinary individual has access to things like that huh? Then, I would rather shoot you as fast as I can to kill you then.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

PENG PENG PENG PENG PENG PENG!

He frowned when even those fast bullets did not hit me. I grinned at him and waved my shield which I transformed my sword into. I can hit a few bullets but I don't want to risk my life doing stunts like that in real life. This is not a game and I only have one life.

”What now? Aren't you ready to kill me? What are you doing? Just waving the gun without any way to kill me?!”

”YOU!”

He started to shoot at me in a frenzy. I block all of them before deflecting one bullet back to him. The reflected bullet hits his right shoulder and he staggers. However, he didn't bleed. I frowned at him after that.

”I see. So you already achieved the immortality you are seeking for.”

”Indeed. And now, due to this, I cannot-”

BANG!

I shoot his head with my gun. He immediately fell to the ground but he stood up and groaned. The bullet passed through his brain but it seems his regeneration is at a much faster rate compared to the Corpse of Rotten Body Parts.

”Damn you, not only a sword, but you also have a shield and a gun?! So you have come here to kill me?!”

”Not really. I came here to look for my missing father but now that I saw how you work, I decided that you don't deserve the life you have right now.”

BANG!

I repeated shooting him but he keeps coming back.
