Chapter 1296: Broken Status
Chapter 1296: Broken Status
“…” Everyone was silent after seeing Nathan’s status.
“How come it suddenly becomes broken even though the purpose is to repair the fragment?” Fenrir was dumbfounded.
Anubis remained silent while Xolotl was trying to assess the situation based on his knowledge.
“The ‘???’ in your level might be from the original Nathan or maybe you in your previous life. There is no telling who is responsible, but it might even be all of them. In other words, the ‘???’ might be an error because the world has so many records about you,” explained Xolotl.
“But if we are talking about level, won’t it be just me, not the original Nathan?” Nathan asked. “I’m a familiar, you know? The original Nathan is purely a human.”
“Yes, but after looking at this wolf’s status. It’s clear that level is just a way for the world to measure your strength. This will include humans, so your theory is incorrect.”
“I see.”
“As for your race, I’m not entirely sure about it. It might be caused by your arrival in this world. Since you come as a familiar, you shouldn’t be a human according to this world’s summoning rule. You can be a ghost, a soul, or whatever, which somehow becomes a human.
“Now that we have repaired your broken fragment, the data is updated, which confirms that you are a familiar instead of a human. And that data overlaps and turns like this.”
Nathan also agreed with this assessment. This was purely his fault. The original Nathan had nothing to do with the race.
“As for your ena, it should be similar to your level’s situation, so I won’t repeat myself. Meanwhile, the ‘Skill Unlock’ is the weird one.”
Nathan nodded. “Indeed. Instead of ‘???,’ this one gave ‘Error.’ Now that I think about it, I can use the Soul Contract to take a peek at the evolution progress. Back then, there was no number.”
“You could probably do that, but I doubt you will get a number.” Xolotl crossed his arms.
“What do you mean?”
“First of all, don’t you think it’s weird for you to have no number when your status is not broken like this?
“On the one hand, it might show this is human evolution, but even so, it is weird. There are humans who have evolved. Of course, I’m not talking about deification.
“But you are a familiar, so it should have shown your evolution. Now, when you apply the logic and combine it with the fact that your absorption rate continues to increase as you have more ena, I think you understand where I’m going…”
“Ah!” Nathan gasped. “Don’t tell me, I have evolved to the very limit or at least according to this world’s system?”
“Now that I think about it…” Anubis realized what was going on. “I, Fenrir, and other familiars can evolve again. On the other hand, you don’t.
“There is a high chance that you have evolved… maybe in your previous life. However, it can explain the fact that you have reached the peak of evolution.
“In other words, you are already equal to…” Anubis gasped while turning his head to Xolotl. “…him in terms of evolution.”
Nathan was speechless. He was equal to a true god? That was a joke that he couldn’t believe.
“We can’t say for sure.” Xolotl shook his head. “After all, he might still be recognized as a human. Maybe his path to evolution has been cut off or something? I took a peek at his memory in another world, but it looked like that world was dirty. It might cause humans to evolve into something else entirely.
“Besides, this is his current life, and there have been no evolutions made in this life, so the world should register it based on his current condition.”
“I see. That’s indeed something to consider. So, the only way we can make sure of this theory is by increasing his ena.”
“Yes. If he can continue like this, he might become someone like that. Unfortunately, I’m not an expert in this area, so I can’t say for sure.” Xolotl crossed his arms.
After listening to their conversation, Nathan knew he was somewhat special, but he had no memory of it. In the end, his goal remained the same.
As long as he continued his progress, he would find the answer at some point.
“In that case, you have no problem helping me, right, Xolotl?” Nathan raised four fingers. “I plan to visit Evelyn, so I need your help. Train her and me for our elements. I might be able to figure out more about my situation by developing my time element.
“Secondly, I’m planning to fight the black cell for the time being. Until I find it impossible or I find that the aliens are not trustworthy, I will continue on this path for a while.
“Thirdly, I want to strengthen the others as well. They are talented, and for some reason, my twisted luck has strengthened them as well, so they might get stronger and help me on my journey.
“Lastly, I will respect your choice, but please help me in my journey. Until it is over and I finally settle down, I will try to repay you and all other familiars. For example, if you want a temple or something, I will do it. Of course, don’t ask me about sacrifice or something like that. As long as it doesn’t break the law or my moral code, I will help you.”
Xolotl smiled. “It won’t be a problem. Like I said before, I was one of the people who opposed the plan and wanted to continue the fight against those guys. I will help you.
“Besides, trust is supposed to be built. That’s why I will ignore the fourth one for now. All I know is that you are essential to me as well.”
Nathan felt relieved. Having a true god who would help him was definitely essential. He knew the difference between normal gods and the true gods after seeing Xolotl, so he might end up summoning more true gods in the future, but he had to make sure they were willing to fight with him instead of trying to backstab him.
“If that’s the case, let me focus back on the crystal armor first. Anubis, it’s your turn now.”
“Okay.” Anubis nodded as Nathan recalled Fenrir while Anubis turned into the fragment of summoning. This time, Nathan wouldn’t just go for crystal armor. He wanted to fix his familiars’ broken fragments as well.
