Inside the ship, Julia and Young Ely were holding Brian’s hands as the tears were pouring out of their eyes.
On the side, James clenched his hands with a furious expression. He was clearly mad about the situation.
“No, what went wrong? Julia, we can’t let daddy die like this. We must save him. Don’t lose hope.” Young Ely wiped away her tears.
Brian wasn’t waking up. His body wasn’t accepting the lifespan. GMD was useless at this moment. And, his heartbeat was slowing down. It might not even stick for an hour.
Julia hearing her sister’s words wiped away her tears. She looked at Brian’s face and clenched her fists.
Thud!
James suddenly fell on his butt. He put his arms around his legs and tears poured out his eyes.
“Nothing! Nothing went as he planned. That bastard manipulated every single step. No matter how far Brian thought, that bastard was able to counter.”
“He wanted to establish a guild. His game ID got deleted. He wanted to increase his lifespan. He got hunted by the dragons. Damn it!”
James’ frustration could be seen in his tears. The man who hadn’t cried even once was now crying because his best friend/brother was dying in front of him and he couldn’t prevent it.
“W-w-ww-what did you just say? Uncle, you just said dad’s id got deleted, right? ID? New Gods?”
Julia’s eyes widened as she looked at James and turned her eyes at Ely.
“Sister, we can save Daddy. GMD isn’t able to inject vitality into his blood but there is something that can.”
“Warlock Class!” Ely’s eyes widened as she replied.
James who heard her words slowly wiped away his tears and asked “How can a game class help him?”
Julia shook her head and said “Daddy didn’t just build the game to power up your strength. He built it so that humans can harness mana. After all, we don’t have the ability to absorb Zero-Point Energy.”
“That means we need to make our body capable of recovering mana without entering the game. Of course, it wouldn’t possible at an earlier stage but it did lay a foundation.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“This foundation was known as ‘Data’. Data was merged with our real body through the pods. Data is the reason why we were able to get stronger but our body can’t absorb too much Data at once.”
“So, it takes a lot of leveling to get stronger. Of course, Daddy never explained it in the form of ‘Data’ to others because they might believe that the game was turning them into some kind of computer or software.”
“But, it actually was laying down the foundation. Once Data is stuck with the body, it will grow with the absorption of Zero-Point Energy. Although Daddy didn’t level up quite a lot in the game, he did absorb Zero-Point Energy with other bloodlines.”
“That means his body has grown quite a lot with his class. Warlock Class is special because of its attribute. Dark Magic is known for its fearsome abilities and one of its major abilities is Devour.”
“I have read many of his notes. Among one of them, he said that the Warlock Class the set to be the strongest class no matter how much he levels up. That’s why he developed and chose that class in the first place.”
“Now, if I just use the Data in his body to manipulate the Dark Mana to activate that ability, it might be possible to absorb the vitality.”
Julia didn’t just keep on explaining. She was already working on it. Her fingers were constantly trying several hundreds of codes in a matter of minutes.
Seeing her working on him once again, James looked at Ely and asked “If this is true, then doesn’t that mean others can manipulate us, earthlings, as well?”
Ely shook her head and said “The ‘Data’ is like a habit. Once your body adapts to it, the habit will sink inside you, and only through some extreme methods, habits can be changed.”
“The Data can’t be accessed by anyone else other than him or Julia.”
James thought for a moment and asked “Wait, if this was possible then doesn’t that mean Brian is capable of creating life forms like humans?”
When he asked that, Ely bit her lips and said.
“He can. There is nothing he can’t do. He told me that if he wants to, he can do anything he likes. But, he has created self-imposing rules. These rules keep him from doing something that we consider extreme.”
“Daddy won’t even die if he truly wants to but at what cost? It would be our demise. And, Daddy doesn’t want to see that.”
James wanted to blame Brian for not keeping himself safe. But, when he thought about Brian’s feelings if his wife and daughters dies, he didn’t speak a word.
He knew his friend values relationships more than anything else. That’s why when his parents died, he tried to away from them. He hoped that he would be able to break the rules he has set up.
But, in the end, he still got stuck in the relationship.
James turned his head and looked at Ely. She was the reason why it all started. She was the reason why he got bound by relationships.
At this moment, Julia suddenly backed away. A powerful burst of dark mana spread out of Brian’s body. But, GMD started working instantly and managed to pull in the Dark Mana.
“Lily, activate the skill sequence! Select skill ‘Devour’ on the vitality inside his blood veins.”
Julia commanded Lily as it was the only way to use GMD. Of course, it could be done personally but it would take a long time. At this moment, inside his heart, a dark purplish vortex appeared.
Upon the appearance of this vortex, the blood flow inside his body increased. The blood started moving toward his heart at a faster rate and this turned his skin red.
Of course, it also increased his heartbeat. And, when the blood reached his heart, it got sucked inside the vortex. But a second later, his blood came out from another side of the vortex.
Except this blood was quite different. The previous blood had a blue aura covering it but when it came out of the vortex, that blue aura disappeared and merged with the vortex itself.
It continued for a moment until the heartbeat finally calmed down. At the same time, the vortex grew larger until it completely put the heart inside it.
And, the vitality absorbed from the blood that remained in the vortex started merging with the heart when the vortex itself started merging with it. When this happened, his heart started beating at a normal pace.
And, the numbers on the screen on the right side started growing. When the two of them saw that, they rushed toward each other and embraced.
“We succeed. We succeed. We succeed. We finally succeed.”
They burst into tears as they continued to stay in each other’s embrace.
At this moment,
On earth,
Lena was on the bed. She was covered with sweat and her body looked extremely exhausted and her eyes were closed. She seemed to have caught some kind of disease but others knew what happened.
Lucy, Charlotte, Ely, Wraith, and Alexa, all were standing next to her with tears pouring out of their eyes.
Lena slowly opened her eyes as her heartbeat also got louder. Seeing this, Charlotte instantly pounced herself at Lena and put her hands around her head.
“Thank god, you recovered.”
Lena slowly put out a smile and said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t worry, this means he is also fine.”
Charlotte shook her head and said “You silly, do you really think I was only worried about him? You are also my family. We were worried about you.”
Hearing her words, Lena slowly put her arms around Charlotte and tears poured out of her eyes.
“It’s good he is alive. Our family is still alive.”
At this moment, others couldn’t control themselves and embraced the two of them and cried. They have been worried sick for hours.
Lena was like a life paper. If something happens to her, it means something happened to Brian as well.

On the other side of the mysterious galaxy,
“So, Dragon Lord failed huh?” A mysterious person wearing a black hood spoke. He was sitting on a chair around a roundtable. There were five more chairs with five other people like him.
“Well, it truly doesn’t matter whether he would succeed or not. Our goal was to understand the full capacity of the last survivor.” Another person spoke.
“It seems like that boy doesn’t know anything about the weapons that his race left behind. Well, considering that it has been billions of years for them, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise.” The third person spoke.
“But, don’t forget that Grand Prophet is still with him. She has served his father and now she is protecting him. If it wasn’t for her, Dragon Lord would’ve made a move by himself.” The Fourth Person spoke.
“So, what should we do with him? Let him grow up so that he can find those weapons for us or kill him right now.” The Fifth Person spoke.
“No, we need those weapons. We are only a few people who managed to survive the Great Reset except for that race. If we want to survive the next one, we must get those weapons, especially for our race.” The Sixth Person spoke.
Five of them finally looked at the person who spoke at first. The First Person looked at them as well and spoke.
“Tell our races to prepare the armies of Ten Thousand Omega Ranks. We will completely subdue that blue planet and force him to find those weapons for us.”
……………..
Somewhere else in the other galaxy,
Brian who was completely unaware of hidden dangers slowly opened his eyes and raised his upper body. He saw James standing next to him with his hand in front of him and a bright smile on his face.
“Welcome back, Brother!”
Brian slowly smiled and raised his hands as they held each other’s hands with bright smiles on their faces.
“Thanks for waiting”
