Born With A Divine System

CHAPTER 28: REBIRTH

Within the deep crevice that was Zephyrs mind his soul dwelt. Unable to do anything as his body was far too damaged to move.

"I feel like fxcking shit!" He yelled in agony, his pride obviously wounded.

[The host has failed his mission]

[Applying penalty]

*Sigh*

My body is in shambles unable to move, and it seems that this is how I'll remain for the next month. Mentally I was still exhausted and decided to use my current predicament as a chance to rest, I had already become numb to the pain after all.

He then proceeded to rest his mind, falling into a deep sleep. Minutes turned to hours, hours turned to days, and all throughout he rejuvenated his mind. Strangely enough, he only had a single reoccurring dream.

A beast's silhouette stood atop a mountain of corpses, flames present all around a shattered civilization.

He had thick brown hair that flowed like a lions' mane. Large bulging muscles with black tattoos on his light brown skin. His pupils were amber slits, while his teeth were razor sharp. Then I got closer to the scene, past all the ash and smoke; then I saw the truth.

Streams of tears ran down his face as he roared in anguish, with ten winged fallen surrounding him. One who looked particularly distinguished amongst the others, his attire much more elegant and commanding than the rest.

"He shall be a perfect test subject."

The other nine rushed towards the beastman, slaying him easily with their divine, or rather demonic weaponry.

The man fell to his knees as halberds cut him down in an instant, despair etched onto his face as he finally collapsed, revealing a young boy identical to him standing behind. With a tired expression he began to plead with God, out of habit, but he already knew long ago that no one was there. He even wondered in his last moments 'Who am I even praying too?'

But he still did so, out of hope that his son may survive this ordeal.

"Please, I beg whoever is listening, let my child live through this nightmarish era into one of peace and prosperity."

The fallen took the boy and flew right back to through their portal.

Then I woke up, my mind dazed by the dream, but my body still in a paralyzed state.

"That felt far too real. Could it be a vision? But of what?"

[The hosts' soul drifted away from conceptual reality temporarily]

"What?"

[There are many aspects of reality that are hidden from normal senses, like the flow of time as an example. Your soul unexpectedly accessed the flow of time and viewed a certain point in the last 13 years]

"So what I saw really happened huh."

[Indeed]

"It seems that the fathers' prayer was answered after all."

[I suppose so]

Some time passed afterwards, whereas I simply waited for my penalty to end.

"Oi, Alex."

[Yes]

"How does my regen skill work?"

[Mortal Qi flows through your dantian, and between your tissue, until it reaches the damaged area, then it rapidly replenishes the surrounding cells with the energy to regenerate themselves and heal the injury]

"During my trials, you told me that every skill I have I can manifest, without your interference."

[That is true]
