Gwen walked towards the gigantic tree escorted by several special children. She looked around with stiff movements like a robot. She had never been used to such a terrifying environment.When she finally arrived at that weird structure, the singer approached the cage filled with Jane and Stella.“Gwen?” Stella gasped hard. “Why are you here?”Gwen flashed a wide smile. “I just wanted to meet you.”Stella glared at the special zombies accompanying Gwen.“Cody promised not to eavesdrop on our conversation using these zombies.” Gwen assured her best friend, then glanced at Jane, who was sitting in the cage's corner with her back to her. “Is she okay?”“Definitely not.” Stella massaged her forehead. “But we don’t need to discuss her for the time being. I want to ask you instead. Do you believe Cody’s words that he won’t listen to us?”“I’ve been with him for a long time.” Cody widened his smile. “I know he won’t lie to me about this.”Stella sighed again and massaged her forehead. “He’s c
From the top of a tall building, Cody peered down at a sizable indoor stadium. The building was unremarkable. It resembled a regular indoor stadium.He observed figures in black robes constructing royal decorations on the building.It was King’s base.Cody abruptly pulled his eyes away from the binoculars and took a deep breath. He got news that the Fake Stella was trying to escape from the guard of the other special zombies.Although annoyed, Cody asked his minions to release the woman. The Fake Stella finally ran to the top of the building, while Cody returned to observing the King’s base through the binoculars.“What do you want?” Cody asked when the fake Stella arrived, but she didn’t take her eyes off her binoculars.“I intended to not follow you anymore, but I can’t, Cody.” Her eyes filled with tears. “I want to always be near you. Take responsibility. You’re the one who made me like this.”Taking a deep breath, Cody stared at that woman, then changed her physical appearance. Sl
Cody then used his special zombies more to attack the King, even though he occasionally joined in.“You’re so small-minded and cunning! King’s frustration grew as he had to keep fend off the special zombies that approached him. He continued to use his elemental powers to do so.Cody remained silent and continued to attack. For him, at a time like this, honor was not important. No other human would witness him and be inspired. His opponent would also die, not remembering the noble things he did.So, he would do anything to win.Cody was about to slash King’s body, but his opponent smiled. Then Cody widened his eyes and chose to retreat rather than continue the attack.The young man also stopped the special zombies’ attacks on the King. But it wasn’t because the King smiled.It was more than that.“Ah, you can tell what happened, huh?” King laughed. “I don’t know how you know that. But at least I don’t have to tell you.”Some of Cody’s special zombies provided information that several m
“Now that I think about it.” Cody stopped walking. “Why would I fight alone? You have a lot of troops.”Some of Cody’s troops pushed their way in through the stadium doors. King was shocked, not expecting them to enter that fast.Yesterday’s fight was not only Cody’s attempt to defeat the King, but he also collected all the data he got from the special zombies.With the battle data, Cody could make an effective plan to be able to finish King’s minions. Yes, that was one trait he got from Jane’s ability. Basically, he created a giant brain in that tree to process large amounts of data.Cody’s troops overwhelmed King. They could read all of King’s attacks, so in a short time, they could hold King.They even broke both of King’s arms so that he couldn’t throw elemental attacks.“This can’t happen!” King shouted with a loud cry. “I’m already on top of the world! I shouldn’t be like this!”“I’m disappointed in you, King.” Cody sighed. “So you’re just an ordinary human with extra power, Adr
“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.” Helena stretched out her hand as Cody and the prisoners from King’s place arrived at the farm. “I won’t say much. Please eat the food.”Cody had already given a message to the special zombie to have Helena and the others prepare food for the 25 people. The residents had prepared tables and chairs of various sizes with plates filled with food.At first, the new people were confused and hesitant, but Helena, Cody, and the previous residents convinced them. Finally, they devoured the food. Some of them even cried. It was not surprising. They had not had proper food for a long time.“Is that Gwen Belluci?” A new member gasped when the blonde-haired woman started singing.Most of them were also surprised to be entertained by the famous singer.“Didn’t you enjoy it?” Helena patted Freya’s shoulder. The former fake Stella was indeed the only one who ate slowly.“This is delicious. I really like it.” Freya smiled. Since she didn’t actually need the food, she a
Cody opened his eyes that morning, and a wave of shock washed over him. He got out of bed, then ran towards his truck.“Where are you going, Cody?” Gwen, who was in the living room, asked.“I have to see Jane immediately.” Cody kept running. “Please tell the others.”“You just got home yesterday.” Gwen followed that man. “Can’t you get some rest first?”As soon as Cody stopped in front of the exit, he turned around and said. “No way, Gwen. This is something very important and I have to take care of it immediately. Just tell the others that one of the special zombies told me something that I can’t discuss yet.”“But...” Gwen didn’t have time to continue her words as Cody walked out.The morning sky was still quite dark when Cody walked towards his truck. He could still detect the wet smell of dew-stained soil.After gathering several special zombies to guard him, Cody drove his truck.Cody had a feeling that his ultimate test had begun.***Because he didn’t need to rest, Cody had almo
It had been a week, but Cody had only finished building the giant up to its knees. Of course, it frustrated him. At this pace, he wouldn’t be able to finish this thing on time.He used the brain he created inside the enormous tree to do various calculations regarding the construction of the giant. However, he always found various flaws in the construction of that thing. Sometimes, that flaw made him feel like he had to dismantle everything.“I’m disappointed in you, Cody Wolfe.” Exal sighed as he remained in his position without moving. “Lady Zeno hyped you as one of the best candidates, but you haven’t even made half of your champion.”Although annoyed at hearing that, Cody didn’t respond. It would only waste energy. Prioritizing the task in front of him was the wiser choice.When he was about to build the part above the knees of that giant, Cody sighed. Again, he found a flaw.“Please, Cody.” Freya looked like she was about to cry as she looked at Cody. “I can’t see you like this. Y
“You’re going to ride that thing yourself?” Freya asked, two weeks to the day after Cody met Exal. “You once said that you would die if the body you’re possessing dies, right? Well, you might think you can switch bodies before that happens. But what if you don’t have the chance?”Cody made some of the organic roots ensnare his body. “I feel like this is the most effective way to control the Big Jordy. I can connect directly to his nerves.”Freya frowned. “Big Jordy? Have you already given him a name?”Cody just smiled, then the roots took him to the inside of his giant body. He wasn’t in a room like a cockpit, but he was fused together with the big Jordy.So, if the big Jordy dies, then he will also lose his life.“Soon, I will move to attack your tree,” Exal said. “Are you ready?”It took a while for Cody to truly fused with that enormous figure. “I guess I’ll never be ready, but I have no choice, right?”“I see.” After two weeks of staying where he is, Exal finally walks, and Cody t
