Chapter 80 Shortcomings Of the Nanobody
Chapter 80 Shortcomings Of the Nanobody
"While the evolution of the Nanobody vastly increases the power of your regeneration, you are able to access the scales of the Anunnaki model that I planted in your form from the Anunnaki's corpse. That energy is finite," Uncle Bob explained.
"If you're reckless to the point of excess, you will expend the energy of your regeneration, and I am afraid after that, Ryuk, your Nanobody will cease to exist. It will never be able to be put back, no matter how hard you try."
"Somehow, you can say that your Nanobody doesn't survive on your beating heart but on the energy scales of the Anunnaki model within you."
"These have their own advantages."
"Somehow, even if your legs and arms are slashed off, as long as you have your heart beating and your brain functioning, you can always continue to live, Ryuk!"
"When faced with an impossible enemy, you can always abandon your arms and legs and run. In fact, if you want to live, Ryuk, you only need to make sure your heart and brain keep working. Those are the only two parts of your body that you truly need."
"You need not worry about injuries to any other parts of your body whatsoever."
"Eyes? Liver? Kidneys? A stab to the stomach? All of these injuries are nothing at all. While a scanner will show you have a stomach, kidneys, and liver, all of these things are nothing but projections. You don't really have them, so injuries to these parts aren't fatal at all because they don't truly exist."
"But injuries to your heart, lungs, or brain are what can really end you!" Uncle Bob said, this time extremely seriously, and Ryuk couldn't help but unconsciously move his hands to his beating heart.
Now he knew well of the parts that were functioning within him: his heart, brain, and lungs. Somehow, everything else was a lie?
This was something Ryuk could have bet his life on and argued to death that it was a lie, yet right now, he had no idea how to feel about these truths.
"The Nanobody is the greatest creation of mine, and its capabilities are close to endless. But still, Ryuk, always remember that the Nanobody is not your true body."
"Tell me, Uncle Bob! Who took my body away from me?!" Ryuk asked, feeling seething anger.
"Your own people," Uncle Bob said, as Ryuk stood there, not knowing how to feel.
"His own people took his body away from him? Just how does that make any sense?" Enjoy more content from empire
"But it isn't just your body they took away, Ryuk. They took something far, far more important to you than that."
There were thousands of questions flashing through his head right now.
"The system? Were you the one that created it?" The question escaped Ryuk's lips the second he asked, shocking not only Uncle Bob but Ryuk himself.
That was the last thing he expected himself to ask Uncle Bob.
"A system, huh?" Uncle Bob said with an amused smirk, and that was more than enough answer for Ryuk.
"I never built that gem. I found it in the most broken part of the universe."
"It was broken, and I simply fixed it. That was all. I can't create such an artifact."
"No power in this universe can," Uncle Bob said seriously as he began fading away just like last time.
This time, Ryuk didn't know whether to feel sad.
He had watched Uncle Bob fade away the last time too. Could he have somehow become used to it?
"Remember, Ryuk..." Uncle Bob said as Ryuk slowly raised his head, finding the man with a smirk on his face.
Somehow, it wasn't the smirk of someone about to become non-existent forever.
"Everything that was taken away from you can all be obtained back!"
