Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Holy Mother
The viscous, scalding ocean seemed to have no end. Oswald did not know how much longer he would have to drift through it.
Perhaps because he could not use the spiritual vision skill, everything before him was an impenetrable darkness. Every drop of seawater released a baby-like wail beside his ears.
Was time passing? Had he sunk into a nightmare, or was he inside an illusion...? Where am I going? How can I leave this place?
System... what is System? What does that word represent? What exactly am I forgetting?!
Ŵеb n̊ оv́ е̄l Е num ӓ
Oswald stopped flailing his hands in the seawater and suddenly realized something. What had he been doing earlier? Why was he struggling so hard to swim across this ocean?
Two completely different sets of life memories flashed through his mind. Oswald’s head ached as if it were about to split. He could not tell. He truly could not tell who he was right now.

In the fragments of memory, the drunken face of a woman suddenly surfaced. One eye drooped, while the other was opened wide. One half of her face was lifelessly numb, while the other half held fury on the verge of eruption...
Mother?
SPLASH. The wide ocean was parted by a pair of enormous hands reaching down from the sky. Before Oswald could understand what had happened, he was dazedly lifted into those hands.
Gentle skin wrapped around him, soothing his restless mind. Everything seemed to become incomparably peaceful.

After leaving the ocean, cool wind brushed over his feverish skin. He immediately felt comfortable all over and greedily breathed in the fragrance of flowers in the air.
Some existence gently held him in her arms. Oswald finally opened his eyes. He had actually regained his sight again...
Before him was a garden filled with clusters of blooming flowers. Butterflies fluttered in swarms, and hundreds of birds sang. It was so beautiful that it did not seem like the mortal world.
Oswald, whose spirit seemed to have been sublimated, looked at his childlike body, yet he felt nothing wrong with it. He only wanted to remain like this in his mother’s embrace, living a carefree life.

Mother... the person holding me is Mother? Mother!
Oswald abruptly turned back and met the woman’s gentle smile head-on.
É n ū m̊а̄
He recognized her. Was this not the Holy Mother from the Holy Mother-and-Child mural on the ceiling of his room?
The smile on the Holy Mother’s face slowly stiffened, and killing intent leaked from Oswald’s eyes.
He raised his hand. The aura of death surged into the paradise-like garden. The instant the flowers withered, a section of Decaying Chain shot out and tightly bound the Holy Mother’s neck.
Oswald was so furious that he burst into maniacal laughter. He truly had not expected the goddess to use such a base method as probing memories and searching for human weaknesses, all to deal with a tiny existence like him!
He could only say, as expected of the Goddess of Life.
The chain tightened more and more. Oswald calmed his emotions and laughed loudly. “Don’t try to kill me with memories. My hatred is not the slightest bit less than my love. Also, don’t underestimate a transmigrator. Aside from my ideals, not one part of me is pure.”

The Holy Mother looked coldly at Oswald. The instant her neck snapped and her head fell, her fingers once again brushed over Oswald’s eyes.
Darkness surged in. Oswald startled awake from his sleep. At the same time his spiritual vision skill activated, the soundwaves erupting from within his body spread outward, instantly blowing the cotton quilt covering him to pieces.
“My lord?”
Eileen, who was holding a broom and cleaning the room, stared blankly at Oswald amid the flying scraps of cotton. He had suddenly sat up like a dying patient jolting upright from a sickbed, summoned his staff, and was about to slaughter everything in sight. She tilted her head in slight confusion.
Her voice called Oswald back to reality. Oswald remained silent for a while, then quickly withdrew his staff and peacefully lay down again.
In any case, I don’t have eyes. No one knows whether I’m playing dead or not. As long as I’m not embarrassed, someone else will be embarrassed...
Е̂ṅ u ṁа̌. í d̊
Eileen put down the broom in her hand and walked over with a faint smile. She could tell at a glance whether Oswald was pretending to sleep, because whenever Lord Duke pretended to sleep, his brows would always unconsciously knit together.
“Did you have a nightmare, my lord?” She reached out and gently clasped Oswald’s fingers. Oswald nodded, then lay motionless on the bed.

Eileen sat by the bedside, and Oswald soon calmed down. He regained his rationality and also sorted out everything that had happened earlier.
He released Eileen’s hand, swiftly sat up, and asked, “How long did I sleep?”
“Fifteen days, my lord.”
So much time had passed? Oswald sighed quietly and placed his palm on his chest, sensing the intense activity of his lungs for a while.
Е̂ńů m̀ ā
Normally speaking, even his previously healthy body would not have had lungs that made such a commotion. Structurally speaking, the breathing motion of the lungs was completed with the help of the surrounding muscle tissue.
As an undead, Oswald could do this as well. He simply could not adjust his breathing to automatic mode, nor could he use respiration to mobilize his blood and transport oxygen.
After all, he did not need oxygen.
To him, his lungs simply served the function of a balloon. They could be used for smoking.

But things were different now. At the end of the light, when the divine remains suddenly awakened, Oswald made an immediate decision and used all his strength to destroy the Goddess of Nature’s lung. After that, something unknown invaded his body, and he lost consciousness.
After waking, he discovered that his lungs were bouncing around energetically...

Oswald did not know whether this was a coincidence, nor did he know what sort of respiratory function it was performing, because it only had respiration, with no function.
Forget supplying oxygen to the whole body. Oswald could not even make it stop.
(System, my body seems to have bugged out. Come out and explain.)
[This System does not know either. But rest assured, Host. What invaded your body was the Goddess of Nature’s remnant soul. It has already been eliminated by this System.]
Oswald was puzzled. (Didn’t you all say souls are under your jurisdiction? How does this world still have a god’s remnant soul?)
[She refused to leave, just like the giant dragon. And the Goddess of Life happened to preserve her divine remains. Host, have you seen Harry Potter? Yes, it was more or less like a Horcrux situation.]

[But Host, you should still be careful. During your coma, you absorbed and assimilated too much lightning element. In the future, when kissing someone, be careful not to shock them to death.]
After the Host woke up, the System also breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Oswald had been very lucky. He had encountered flesh reinforced by space magic. This kind of flesh could automatically restore itself, and after assimilation, it could be used to fill his damaged body. He did not have to worry about becoming a physically deformed monster.
He had even benefited from the disaster. The lightning element of the power of nature had already rooted itself deeply inside Oswald’s body. Now, he had gained another kind of power he could use.
(Why couldn’t it have been the wind element...)
Even now, Oswald still felt regret over the departure of the wind. The final wisp of breeze that had remained in his heart had also dissipated during the battle against the goddess.

[A warning to the Host: the method of devouring and assimilation cannot be used often. This time, you were lucky and could still retain a human body. When the Host’s original flesh becomes less and less, even this System cannot guarantee what the Host will turn into.]
(I know. Our main goal is still to restore my body.)

Since even the System did not know the reason behind his lungs’ activity, Oswald restrained the urge to dig out his lungs. He temporarily set the matter aside, got out of bed, and strode toward the door.
After being unconscious for half a month, and with Eileen having also come to his side, Oswald could not help beginning to worry over whether the Northern Territory’s construction plan had proceeded smoothly.
“Have there been any urgent reports of foreign enemies invading during this time?”
Hearing him from behind, Eileen immediately replied, “No. Even the Royal Capital should have only just received news of your coma, my lord.”

Seeing Lord Duke swiftly return to work mode, Eileen was slightly surprised. Then she heard Oswald say wistfully, “Time is not on our side, Eileen. For every one of us, this life is a challenge.”
