Chapter 14: Create a body

Translator: Sigma  Editor: - -

“What is the structure of a human body? I still feel there is something wrong.” While looking at the skeleton that Sui Xiong had displayed, Gerrard scratched his bald head, and furrowed his brows.

 

This question immediately angered Sui Xiong, “How can you have such a question like that? Do you know where I come from? Let me tell you. The number of bodies I’ve painted is more than the ones you’ve cut! There will absolutely be no mistake!”

 

“But I still feel that it is not quite right.”

 

Sui Xiong silent swung his tentacles up, caught a skeleton then threw it beside him to make a comparison: “Look at this skeleton then make a comparison, is its structure the same?”

 

“The structure of the skeleton... is it too weak?” Gerrard’s complexion darkened as he saw those skeletons had been smashed into pieces and dried out..

 

Sui Xiong freely swayed his tentacles and burst out laughing, “Don’t worry, I will give you enough material so that even an ax couldn’t chop you!”

 

When Gerrard thought about those skeletons he had seen, he was a little concerned, “Won’t it lack elasticity? I think the skeleton’s movements are very stiff...”

 

Sui Xiong was thunderstruck. He thought over and over, then said, “I will give you a few more bone sections, as well as some little more muscles. This body will become more flexible.”

 

Seeing his body being formed, Gerrard asked again, “... This structure is really strange. I have never seen this kind of structure.”

 

“As long as it is strong and flexible, what does the strange structure have anything to do with what you have seen?” Sui Xiong unworriedly said.

 

Gerrard was completely enlightened: “You are right, living again is not bad. No need to pay too much attention like this....right, just help me strengthen my muscles a little bit more.”

 

“This is very simple! Leave it to me!” Sui Xiong waved his tentacles to guarantee with Gerrard.

 

Gerrard rejoiced, but he soon had another thought, “Is it really simple? Don’t we need to strengthen the skin to create a natural armor too? And give the eyes an ability to see in the dark, and something like anti-poison ability...”

 

“Strengthening the skin is very simple. Night vision is not that hard either. But an anti-poison ability is a bit troublesome.” Sui Xiong wondered, “I will prepare for you an anti-dark power system.”

 

Gerrard was dumbfounded: “But I don’t know black arts.”

 

“No problem, I will teach you.” Sui Xiong laughed out loud.

 

“Can I really learn your black arts?”

 

Sui Xiong thought over and over , then got an idea: “I will also create a magic stone for you, alright?”

 

“... So, who on earth am I, am I a human or a beast?” Gerrard was at loss.

 

“Dummy, you don’t need to pay attention to these details! As long as you can use the body well, you don’t need to care whether or not you are a human or a beast.” Sui Xiong swung his tentacles up, snorted back.

 

“... I can’t ignore it! Think about it. This body structure is clearly a beast’s!” Gerrard was stunned.

 

“Don’t worry, I will make the same body as your old one, it is just a little bit bigger.”

 

“... This is way too much bigger.” When Gerrard came closer to that body, controlled it to staggeringly stand up, he then recognized that this body’s height was on the same level with the roof, which didn’t look normal at all.

 

“Isn’t it suitable? When you turn into this, those who have any grudges with you will absolutely not recognize you.”

 

“... I still feel it’s a bit too much.” The rebirthed giant habitually scratched his head. His expression was complicated. It was really hard to tell that he was feeling excited or distressed...

 

But whether it was excited or distressed, both were fine. In short, Gerrard Bane was alive again.

 

Sui Xiong used his nutrition to create a body again. This body’s ability was extraordinary. It could pull up an ancient tree, run faster than a flying bird, be strong enough to break an ax, see things in the dark, chew wood like biscuits, eat poisonous food like nothing... The only problem was that it was excessively high. Carefully estimating, it was up to four meters high, even higher than the total height of two standing men.

 

Gerrard certainly had an opinion about this. Such a high body like this definitely didn’t look like a human’s. But Sui Xiong said this body was alright. It was not much different than his. Later on, when they both acted, a huge body and a huge head with a talkative mouth were balanced. Gerrard would have had nothing to say either.

 

Although this reason seemed unreasonable, after Gerrard came back to life, Sui Xiong felt that Gerrard somewhat appeared uncomfortable, Sui Xiong always felt that he was a bit absent-minded.

 

“I used to be active in the sea. I am not quite familiar with the situation on the shore.” So, he randomly chose a subject, “right now I am planning to find a place where humans live to stay for a while, what do you recommend?”

 

“I think, we can casually find a village.” While answering the question, Gerrard’s eyes were staring at the sky.

 

At this moment, it was dawn. It would be long until the sun rose. The weather today was not bad, it must be a sunny day.

 

“What are you looking at?” Sui Xiong curiously asked.

 

“I am waiting for, for the sun.”

 

Sun? Sui Xiong sulkingly looked up to the sky----is the sun in this world really special? Oh, this fellow Gerrard still believes in the Sun God, does he need to pray when the sun rises?

 

After a while, the sun rose, the dazzling golden sun shone down on the earth.

 

Due to his over-sized body, no clothes could fit his body, Gerrard couldn’t help but let his body be naked under the sun. The sunlight shone on his angular solid muscles, shone on his ferocious-looking face. He didn’t move. Instead, he stood still like a statue.

 


At the beginning, his eyes seemed a bit nervous. As time slowly passed by, the sunlight gradually became intense. His eyes slowly calmed down, changed from being nervous to happy, then finally comfortable.

 

 

“I am.... really still alive...”

 

.

“You are still alive. Your heart is beating. Blood is flowing. All of your organs are working normally----you are not only alive, but you are also very strong!” Sui Xiong assumed that he had doubted his skills, couldn’t help but get angry a bit, “Don’t underestimate my skills! Creating a body is a piece of cake!”

 

His words hadn’t been finished yet. Gerrard had kneeled down on the ground, prostrated to him, kissed his tentacles that supported his body.

 

“Your great highness, you are my savior, my religion, my soul!”

 

He was so sincere and respectful that it scared Sui Xiong.

 

“Gerrard, how are you feeling? Are you sick? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? No, it is impossible! Such a healthy body like yours, even if a hundred diseases can’t infect you, you absolutely won’t get sick just because of standing under the sun!”

 

“My highness, I am very healthy.”

 

“Then why do you behave like this? This really doesn’t look normal! Where do you feel bad?”

 

Gerrard bowed one more and stood up. His attitude was strangely humble. It seemed that he could have been prostrated again at any time.

 

“Seems like your Highness still don’t realize your true identity----you are not a legendary creature, but a God who has just been wakened up not so long ago and is now traveling in the human world!’

 

“What?” Sui Xiong was dumbstruck. He carefully compared himself with the information he’d got from the shrine. But the difference between him and the God was too much. He couldn’t help but shake his head, “You’ve mistaken. I am just a normal ordinary nomad. My size is just a little too big.”

 

Gerrard didn’t argue right away about this untrue issue, calmly said, “Bringing back a dead person is the something that only God can do. Even the most powerful magic could only create an object between life and death, relying on a dark power to act. They are not a normal vitality but a demon in human shape. You have really brought me back to life, and saved me. This is no doubt a power of a God!”

 

“Maybe you are not aware of this point. But you have saved a mortal. As a believer of yours, my existence is the proof for your majesty!”

 

Gerrard’s sincere attitude didn’t look suspicious, which made Sui Xiong couldn’t help but believe him. But after he thought again, there was a huge fishy point.

 

“You said that I am a God, and that you worshiped me. Why don’t I receive any power of religion?”

 

The power of religion was the most important thing in this world. But Sui Xiong temporarily was not clear how exactly important it was. From the information he got from the shrine, to a God, the power of religion was an extremely important resource.

 

At that time, there was a little power of religion condensing above the shrine. Sui Xiong had analyzed and absorbed most of them. Some of them were well integrated. These powers of religion were like the clock hand pointing directions for the Sleepless God. He didn’t dare to do anything with these powers of religion, decisively threw the shrine and them away into the volcano at the bottom of the sea.

 

If I were really a God, the worship of Gerrard for me should probably produce the power of religion. However, I don’t feel anything.

 

Gerrard just laughed it off when he faced with this question, “My Highness how can’t you, a god of this world see through this mortal? I can only worship you wholeheartedly, respect you, and serve you. Only you can have the answers for all those profound questions.”

 

This answer left Sui Xiong speechless. He shook his head when he saw Gerrard’s face, the kind of face “I don’t care whether you believe me or not”. He didn’t drag this subject any further.

 

“Alright, I believe what you say.”

 

Arguing with a mad believer about “The God that you believe in does not exist” was absolutely the silliest thing in this world. There was no God existing on Earth, but there were still mad believers about God’s glory, who were willing to throw themselves into enemies and be crashed into pieces. In this world where Gods actually existed, this power of religion, were naturally more powerful.

 

Sui Xiong still remembered clearly that time in the White Leaf Village, when that old priest had sacrificed himself for the God’s Glory.

 

Judging from Gerrard’s attitude, if Sui Xiong needed, he would absolutely sacrifice himself.

 

Of course, not to mention the fact that Sui Xiong was not a God, if he were really a God, he definitely wouldn’t become an Evil God like the Sleepless God. From his point of view, the God’s Glory should come from believers’ virtue and ability, from the praises of the beneficiaries, absolutely not from threatening and scaring.

 

The one that made his believers give themselves away, even sacrifice their lives were not a God anymore, but a Demon!

 

So, the matter of whether or not Sui Xiong being a God was left for the last.

 

“My highness, please forgive me for asking this. When I want to pray, what should I call you?”

 

“Name?” Sui Xiong thought for a while, “My name, it is somehow not the same as yours...”

 

“No, what I asked is that how I should address you.” Gerrard corrected, “I cannot just call you by your God name.”

 

“This is really troublesome!” Sui Xiong carefully thought before saying, “If it is like this, then call me Oscar, Hollow Mask Oscar.”

 

Oscar meant acting. Hollow Mask was a fellow with tentacles that looked similar to a jellyfish in his favorite game.

 

Gerrard nodded his head indicating that he would remember this name without questioning “What does Oscar mean” or “Why do you specially emphasize the mask”. Letting Sui Xiong explain the original implication would be a little bit willy-nilly, it made him feel like hitting into a cotton.

 

Solving problem and the real life had nothing with the last problem. So, the practical problem should be solved as soon as possible.

 

After asking Gerrard, Sui Xiong immediately decided to leave the White Leaf Village, heading toward the Ash Forest’s border region.

 

In that place, there was a small town on the border, whose life was not different from that of civil society.

 

Regardless of gaining something or self-strengthening, the main mission was coming back to a civilized world.
