Chapter 1376

“.... W-who are you…? And why are you here in our manor..?” ask Yume who was surprised. "Ha ha ha! Your home? This is my palace! I'm the one who founded the Gunter family, son! You two are nothing more than my descendants!” answer the black light with a thunderous voice before slowly changing into an old man. Having white hair tufted around his old head and a beard that descended all the way to his chest, it was hard to deny that the old man gave the impression of a skilled martial artist. Regardless, the surprised Yume then replied, “...W-what did you say..?” Gerald himself now looked at the old man in slight surprise. From what Gerald knew, the existence of the old man was very similar to the soul of the woman in white. However, there is a clear difference between the two. It was obvious, to be honest, that the strength and energy that the old man had—dan could unleash from himself— was much stronger compared to what the white-clothed woman could achieve. bit.ly/bacanovelgerald While the woman in white was nothing more than a casual thought about the soul before fusion, the figure currently standing before her was very different. After all, not only did he have the strength and energy to manifest himself, but he was also extremely powerful! Gerald wondered just how powerful and terrifying the old man's training level would be if he really had a physical body ... “I say that you two are nothing more than my descendants! What, Yreth hasn't told the two of you about the Gunter family history before?” taunting the old man. When Gerald found himself shaking his head, Yume— on the other hand—nodded quickly before saying, “Grandmother told me a lot about our ancestors since I was young! From what I was told, Gunter's ancestors gained immense supernatural powers and established our family base after discovering some historical relics from ancient great civilizations. However, when our family finally became stable enough, one of our ancestors traveled to search for more divine artifacts from the great civilizations of ancient times! …You.. can't really suggest that you are that ancestor... right? But.. But how? If you're as right as you claim, then why did Grandma lock you up here? ” ask Yume. bit.ly/bacanovelgerald Seeing the old man just laughing in response, Yume then asks, “....What's funny..?” “...I think she is not locked up here.. Instead, she may not be able to show herself for some reason, which is why grandma brought her to this secret room. Of course, even though he didn't leave the room, I'm sure he has been controlling the entire family remotely all this time, ” Gerald said as he looked at the old man. Hearing that, the old man simply observed Gerald from head to toe in shock. After which, he shook his head before saying, “I didn't expect our family to still have decent and capable offspring. I'll admit that you're really smart, grandson! As you said, I have been in control of the head of the Gunter family for generations now!” As Yume's jaw fell in shock, Gerald himself felt a little surprised. While Zyla had already told him that the Gunters were an unusual family, she now only realized how true her words were. Although he had previously wondered how the Gunters could engage with the people from the Portal of Judgment, everything now made sense. As it turns out, the real mastermind behind the bit.ly/bacanovelgerald screen is this old man—who may have lived for thousands of years— all this time! Finally starting to believe what the old man said, Yume then replied, “....So...You are really the ancestor of our family…? But, if you are truly our ancestor, why did you stay here for so long without ever coming out? Do you not dare to search for more divine artifacts …? ” “It will be a long story for the details. Basically, although it is true that I went to look for more god artifacts at that time, he said, understand that all dewa— artifacts in general—tend to be guarded by heavenly spirits. With that thought, I failed to defeat one of the heavenly spirits, resulting in my body being smashed to pieces! However, not long after, I managed to escape with my soul mind. Since Gunter still had many powerful enemies at the time, I took the responsibility of directing and controlling Gunter from behind the scenes to prevent the total destruction of our family. As for why I managed to maintain my soul mind for so long, it was because the head Gunter kept giving me the spirit bodies of many top masters! obviously the old man. “...Wait...A-what did you say…? Is...are you telling me that our annual family training meeting is not bit.ly/bacovelgerald more than a means for you to absorb the spiritual energy of the contestants.?” yume said as she suddenly realized. "The bingo! Unfortunately, even though those people have spirit bodies, their physical talents are simply not up to my standards! You two have no idea how long I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to have a spirit body that can help me achieve true reincarnation!” the old man replied with a laugh. “...I... It seems I see the bigger picture now... The person you want to have is Gerald, right? One granny and the people from the Portal of Judgment are still trying to catch? After all, since his body contained the Primordial Spirit of Hercules, his body was much different from that of an ordinary human... Is my guess correct?” ask the flabbergasted Yume. “Really again! I can see now that you are also very smart!” the old man said before laughing once more. Gerald himself was now so shocked that he muttered, “...Spirit Primordial Hercules…? What.... happened here.?” Whatever the case, Gerald was now convinced of one thing. These people were searching for him desperately because his body contained the great secret they desperately needed…
