Chapter 435: Forced!

Reia!!

Even Blood瞳 felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he said this name. [|]txt e-book download** There was a feeling of suffocation.

There was no other reason, the meaning represented by this name was too heavy.

The legend of Krodel, the man known as undefeated. A super universe warrior that even enemies had to respect during the Great Chaos period. His name was not just a deterrent, but also a symbol... a symbol of absolute strength and eternal victory. As long as he appeared, no matter how cruel the battlefield, Krodel's conquerors would be invincible!

If he had to use a noun to describe him, Blood瞳 could only think of one.

God of War.

This was Reia's influence. It could be said that in that era he was like a bright star, attracting countless admirers. His influence on Krodel could even be compared to the 'King'. Bringing victory after victory to Krodel. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Reia's influence was not limited to the civilization itself, even other advanced civilizations in the universe had to respect him. This was extremely rare in Krodel, which was themed on conquest.

But even the strongest God of War would fall. Reia eventually withdrew from the grand stage of the universe, leaving behind countless legends.

No one knew if he was still alive, and no one knew his final whereabouts. He was like a cloud of mist, suddenly disappearing in the late period of Krodel. Only Blood瞳, who had come into contact with his legacy colony, could vaguely guess some things.

Originally, Blood瞳 would not have associated him with the bandage merchant. But since he saw this skeleton, and recalled the bandage merchant's past, Blood瞳 uncontrollably had this bold guess. In fact, he was not sure before he said this sentence. He didn't even know how he should face it if the bandage merchant was really Reia.

"Reia?" The bandage merchant was stunned when he heard Blood瞳's words. Then he lowered his head and looked at the skeleton at his feet.

Silence...

Long silence...

The atmosphere gradually became oppressive. Unconsciously, the air in the entire wastewater treatment plant seemed to freeze, heavy and suffocating. Blood瞳 did not frown, but quietly looked at the bandage merchant, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, the bandage merchant chuckled. He shook his head. "Where did you learn this name from?"

"I met Tem," Blood瞳 replied.

"Tem..." The bandage merchant repeated, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. "This name... I haven't heard it in a long time. Is he alright?"

"He's dead," Blood瞳 said calmly. "I was driven into the anti-space, and accidentally fell into the mountain when I escaped. That's how I discovered the passage left by Tem. He helped me solve the bloodlust, but in the end... he still died."

"............" The bandage merchant didn't speak, his expression became very complicated. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Blood瞳.

"I am not Reia."

"Huh?" Blood瞳 was stunned. Could it be that his guess was wrong? The bandage merchant was not what he thought?

"Reia is an idiot. And I am not," the bandage merchant continued. His gaze fell on the skeleton at his feet, indescribably strange. "So if you want to talk to Reia, I think you've come to the wrong person."

"Then who are you?" Blood瞳 hurriedly asked. "Also, why do you say Reia is a... uh, an idiot?"

"Who I am is not important. What's important is... you guessed one thing right, I am a debugger," the bandage merchant quietly looked at Blood瞳, a hint of reminiscence and appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"From the moment you were born, I have been watching you, watching you survive, watching you hunt, watching you find the colony, and watching you meet that girl. It can be said that you have never left my perception, but you never knew. I have seen every bit of your growth and evaluated you."

"But you never helped me," Blood瞳 said coldly. "Every time I encountered danger, when I was seriously injured, when I was about to die. Even... when Li'er... was taken away by the black bear..."

"Why should I help you?" the bandage merchant asked softly. "If I help you, can you still grow?"

"Don't forget, I am a debugger, not a caretaker. My responsibility is to record your growth and assess whether you have potential. It can be said that before you meet the standard, you have no value in my eyes. Debuggers only help valuable seeds, and will not waste energy on boring things. Don't mention words like danger, death, suffering, and emotion to me, that's your business. What does it have to do with me, a debugger?"

"But..." Speaking of this, the bandage merchant revealed a smile. "You are very good... better than I imagined... so, I am waiting for you here."

"As for why you asked me why I said Reia is an idiot... ha... isn't he?"

"If he wasn't an idiot, why would he leave Krodel at the last moment? If he didn't leave, how could Krodel be destroyed? If he didn't leave, how could he be separated from his colony? If he didn't leave, how could he be... besieged to the point of being isolated and helpless?" The bandage merchant's voice lowered, his tone full of ridicule and disdain. "In the end, he is just a stubborn fool. What hero, what legend..."

"Stupid."

"You!?" Blood瞳 looked at the bandage merchant in disbelief, watching him say these words that were almost insulting. But he didn't know how to answer.

That's right, debuggers do have their code of conduct. Blood瞳 couldn't say whether they were right or wrong. But the bandage merchant's evaluation of Reia shocked Blood瞳.

Who is Reia? He is the legend of Krodel. A true powerhouse who can influence the development of universe civilizations. In fact, before Blood瞳 came into contact with this name, he never thought that someone would have such extraordinary influence. Such a strong shock. Therefore, in Blood瞳's cognition, he also had great respect for the name Reia.

But when the bandage merchant said these words, he seemed so... disdainful?

No, not just disdain. Blood瞳 could also see the bandage merchant's sarcasm and hatred. Even... a little bit of pain.

Why is that?

Why would he evaluate a legend of Krodel like this? A super powerhouse who made great contributions to the development of Krodel civilization? Also, his tone of voice, even if Blood瞳 was dull, could see that he was evaluating Reia with an equal attitude. This was completely inconsistent with his identity as a debugger. Could it be that his identity and status... is not just a debugger?

Could it be that he also witnessed that era?

For a time, countless thoughts flashed through Blood瞳's mind. But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The bandage merchant was like a cloud of mist in his eyes, becoming more and more mysterious and strange. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice.

"You... who exactly are you..."

The latest novel is first published at 6 9 books bar!

"You can call me Gilster," the bandage merchant took a deep breath. He said softly. "If you really care about a name."

"Kid, I know you have many questions. But I still say the same old thing, now is not the time for you to come into contact with these things. Although your progress has exceeded my expectations. But it's far from enough. So... continue to grow. Until you are qualified to accept that day."

Saying that, the bandage merchant turned his head and glanced at the skeleton at his feet. "As for here, you don't need to come here again. There is nothing you want here. Your core is what I gave you. As for this corpse..."

The bandage merchant paused, then raised his foot, pretending to step on it. "It's just garbage!"

"Wait!"

Just then, Blood瞳 suddenly stopped the bandage merchant. He saw him look at the skeleton with a strange expression for a while, then said. "Even if it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to do this, right? Anyway, it has been lying here for many years, and it can continue to lie down. Maybe... for it, this is also a good home."

"............" The bandage merchant fell silent, but he really didn't continue. At this moment, Blood瞳 suddenly felt a certain throbbing in his heart. After a while, he sighed. He left the skeleton.

At his feet, the skeleton was still lying quietly, just like a long time ago...

"You're right," the bandage merchant's voice suddenly became a little hoarse. He looked at Blood瞳 with a complicated expression. "It has been lying down for a long time, and it should continue to lie down. Here... is indeed a good cemetery."

"Alright, do you have anything else to ask? As a debugger, I will answer the questions you should know."

"Only two," Blood瞳 raised his head and said seriously. "First, am I a Krodelian."

The bandage merchant answered affirmatively. "And the purest Krodelian bloodline."

"Then why am I here? Hasn't Krodel been destroyed for a long time?" Blood瞳 asked again. A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. He finally confirmed his identity. But at the same time, a sense of crisis arose. Krodel, is the public enemy of the universe...

"That's two questions," the bandage merchant replied. "But I can't say. I can only tell you that your appearance here is not accidental, but a pre-determined plan. I am the executor and guardian of the plan."

"Is it related to the destruction of Krodel?"

"Maybe, kid," the bandage merchant shrugged. Then he walked towards Blood瞳. "But I don't think knowing these things is good for you, so the time to answer questions is over, now it's time for me to fulfill my duties."

"Fulfill duties? What do you mean?" Seeing the bandage merchant's suddenly serious eyes, Blood瞳's heart skipped a beat.

"Fulfill the duties of a debugger. It is also the purpose of my trip," the bandage merchant replied. Immediately afterwards, he pointed at Blood瞳's forehead.

In the next moment, Blood瞳 suddenly felt that the energy in his whole body was rioting, as if a flood and tsunami had submerged him. An extreme pain swept through his body, stimulating him to almost scream.

In the almost shattering pain, he vaguely heard the bandage merchant say.

"Adversity is the ladder for Krodelian growth. Pain is the driving force for Krodelian progress. Kid, no one will prepare for you. That is the behavior of cowards. And Krodelian warriors should never stop moving forward at any moment."

He's forcing me to enter the Meteor Star level!!

This thought suddenly flashed through Blood瞳's mind. Immediately afterwards, his mind was drowned out by pain.
