Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 2176 Awaken

Chapter 2176  Awaken

It had been a week since Emery arrived back on the Ouroboros planet. The newly formed gene team welcomed him, and he immersed himself completely in the task at hand, dedicating all his time and effort to finding a way to heal his daughter, Shinta.

The treatment involved two main fronts. The first was through spirit therapy, aimed at easing Shinta's soul and helping her recover from the traumatic experience she had endured. Skilled spirit master worked tirelessly, to calm her mind and restore her mental balance. The second front was more complex and challenging: settling the chaotic blood gene within her body. Emery would meticulously analyze Shinta's genetic structure and work on stabilizing the anomalies.

During this time, Ronan, the serpent supreme, closely observed the developments and Emery himself. His presence was constant, shadowing Emery wherever he went. Emery ignores the man and focuses solely on the work at hand. Finally, after days of relentless effort, their perseverance bore fruit. On the tenth day since their arrival, Shinta awakened from her slumber.

The Ouroboros Queen, Master Bob, and the rest of the Ouroboros staff were overjoyed by the result, the atmosphere was filled with relief and happiness.

It took Shinta a while to fully realize that she had been rescued and brought back to Ouroboros. Her surroundings were familiar, but she was still disoriented from her ordeal. As she looked around, she was surprised to find Emery's figure among the crowd.

"Mister… why are you here?" Shinta asked, her voice filled with confusion.

Emery, who could fearlessly face godly beasts and unimaginable dangers, felt a tremor of emotion as he looked into her questioning eyes. He who had never been present in her life saw himself as unworthy to be her father. This guilt weighed heavily on his heart.

Swallowing his emotions, Emery decided to only reveal part of the truth. "I am here to help the team with your recovery," Shinta looked at him with wide eyes, processing his words. "Oh… thank you,"

Her soul had been healed, but her body still needed more time to achieve full recovery. The gene teams were already conducting various tests on her, comparing the new data with the experiment notes left by the deceased Faulen grandmaster. Emery remained ever-watchful, ensuring nothing would endanger her anymore. Every day, he stood close by, overprotective and assisting with her day-to-day tasks, his presence a constant reassurance.

It took Shinta a few days to finally understand her situation. One day, she gathered the courage to speak her mind. "Mister… I want to go somewhere. Can you help me?"

"Of course," Emery replied, his voice gentle yet steady.

Emery brought a wheelchair and carefully helped her into it. As he wheeled her toward their destination, his hand trembled slightly, realizing they were heading toward the Ouroboros Royal Cemetery. When they stopped in front of Silva's grave, he felt a surge of emotion well up inside him.

Standing behind Shinta, Emery listened as the girl began to retell the story of her captivity to the tombstone.

"Mother… I was afraid… but thankfully my father came for me," Shinta then rose from her chair and turned to face Emery, tears streaming down her cheeks. Despite her tears, she smiled warmly at him. "Thank you, Father,"

At that moment, the barriers between them dissolved. From a distance, a few onlookers watched the touching scene, smiling at the sight of the father and daughter embracing each other. ####

In the days that followed, Emery and Shinta grew even closer. Each of Emery's overprotective actions brought joy to Shinta, and as she regained her strength, she began to return to her usual playful self which extended to those around her, including the serpent supreme, Ronan, who often came to bother them.

"Father, if you hadn't saved me from such a cruel experiment, it would have been so tragic…" she would say, her words laced with playful sarcasm.

Day by day, her comments grew sharper, cutting into the serpent supreme's pride like a knife.

"You little devil… is this how you speak to your ancestor?!" "My apology, mister ancestor," Shinta replied sweetly,"...my mother passed away when I was so little for the sake of the gene experiment... turning me into such an uneducated girl…"

"...."

Ronan was left speechless, realizing that any attempt to scold her would only further damage his pride, he was forced to give them more space.

Finally, a week after Shinta had fully recovered, she approached the family with a determined gleam in her eyes. "Grandmother, I aim to become the number one acolyte in the academy... to bring glory to our clan and fulfill my parents' dream," she declared with determination.

Her words stirred memories in Emery, reminding him of Silva. He remembered his own time at the academy, where he had only managed to reach third place. With Shinta's capability, her dream of becoming the top acolyte seemed within reach.

However, Shinta's request was met with hesitation. The Ouroboros Queen, deeply concerned about Shinta's well-being, was reluctant to let her go. The Queen also felt a profound responsibility for the supreme gene project that had been entrusted to her. Allowing Shinta, a crucial key to the project, to stay so far away from their primary research facility posed significant challenges.

Seeing the disappointment on Shinta's face, Emery stepped forward, revealing his findings from the last month of helping with the gene research. "I believe to fully succeed in this supreme gene project, we need to gain a deeper understanding of all the 12 bloodlines," he stated confidently.

With this premise, Emery proposed a groundbreaking plan: cooperation to establish a proper gene facility in Utopia City. Drawing on his apothecary background and close relationships with the Zodiac and Silvermane factions, Emery believed that this initiative would not only allow him and Shinta to continue effectively contributing to and advancing their research, but it would also benefit the entire bloodline community.

The Ouroboros Queen listened intently, she considered the possibilities and the benefits of such cooperation. "Very well, Your plan has merit. We will support this initiative and cooperate fully."

A wave of relief and satisfaction washed over the room. Shinta's face brightened with hope.

A few days later, preparations were complete. A ship was readied to depart from the Ouroboros planet, carrying Emery, Shinta, and Annara heading toward the Utopia city. But there was one unexpected addition to their group: the serpent supreme, Ronan, had decided to join them.

"This old ancestor will repay you by helping you reach your dream,"
