I.. Am God?

Chapter 194 (I Don't Know What To Name This, HAHAHA)

"Why do you even need to maintain your identity, Signore Ándras?" Marcus asked, "The world isn't like what it was before. It has changed greatly. Even if you declare yourself as the True Lord, the only reason people will attack you would be to get your title, not think that you're a maniac."

"Still.." Andre sighed, "I wanted to stay living like normal for just some years, why can't I?"

"You won't be able to live a normal life in this kind of world, Signore." Marcus clicked his tongue and sighed before sitting beside Andre, "Signore, when the chaos three months ago struck, and I acquired my ability, I hadn't had the time for peace because many people requested my services. Fortunately for me, Europe fell, enabling me to run away together with my babies and other important things. I joined the Gaius Group then stayed there for about two weeks now." Marcus chuckled.

"Wait, I thought you just went here together with my Camaro to upgrade it then you'll go back to Italy?" Andre had a confused look when he heard what Marcus said.

"You really don't listen to the news, don't you?" Marcus laughed wholeheartedly, "Europe has fallen a long time ago! Of course Italy does not exist as a country anymore!"

Looking at Marcus, Andre sighed. He knows that this laughing man loved his country and its culture much like his own mother. Italy is also where their ancestral home was, a home of a thousand stories and tales for him. "It must've been painful for you to leave, Marcus." Andre patted his back and said with a feeling of lament for the man.

Marcus smiled sadly and looked to assure Andre, "I am fine, Signore." He then looked at the window above, gazing at the visible sky, "It was painful, yes. I lost my friends, my brothers, my nieces and nephews, some of my babies, my home, and my country, so of course, it would be painful." He mourned.

But a second later, he smiled with joy as he patted his chest, "But here I am now, still alive and kicking! That just goes to show that there is still life for me, for the future! Me being alive means there is still a story to tell for me. So, why would I be sad for long?"

Seeing his enthusiasm, Andre shook his head, "You really are different from others. You're too optimistic, that's why you're still living life to the fullest even though you have seen bad things."

"Compared to you, Signore? Mine life is but a heavenly bliss of paradise." Marcus smirked and laughed once again.

Thinking about it, Andre chuckled. "Life is but a boring movie if you are immortal. There's almost nothing that can truly excite me anymore. Watching nations crumble into dust and comrades falling is already as common as the moon rising for me."

After saying those, Andre stood up and sighed, "Now that the world has changed this much, it really is odd if I still stay with my normal person identity."

Marcus' eyes lit up as he looked at Andre and asked excitedly, "Will I see some action?"

"A lot." Andre smirked before walking to the car. Following him from behind, Marcus chirped with anticipation, "I am finally going to see my baby revv up!"

Andre turned to him and asked, "Wait, you haven't tested this yet?" In response, Marcus nodded.

"Then how do you know that this works with those huge modifications of yours?!" Andre exclaimed.

Marcus then pointed at the side of his head, "Intelligence.." then patted his head, "..and Intuition." He smiled widely, filled with confidence for the car that he modified himself.

Andre clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes, "If you weren't a trusted man of mine, I would've bursted your head wide open if you told me that." His lips then curled up before opening the car.

"Key." Andre extended his hand back without looking at Marcus. "Damn this interior is handsome." He muttered while looking inside. The steering wheel is nowhere to be found!

After some time, Andre still wasn't getting his key so he turned around, "Hey, the key!"

"No key." Marcus shook his head and replied without changing his expression.

"What do you mean, 'no key'? How would I drive this thing?" Andre retorted and raised his arm with his fist curled up, threatening to punch the man.

"Here, I'll teach you." Marcus responded by going to the other side of the car to enter. Not knowing what to do, Andre also entered the car.

Inside, Marcus then pointed to the screen that is on the upper part of the gear lever. "That's a screen." Andre stated.

"Yes, I know. Can you please let me talk first?" Marcus' lips twitch when Andre talked first.

"Go." Andre gestured to him to continue. Marcus then tapped the screen twice before saying, "Autis, start Change Owner Phase."

"Change Owner Phase activated. Please state the current owner's name." The neutral voice of a man answered from the speaker.

"Marcus Del Mastro."

"Requesting for a handprint confirmation." Marcus then placed his hand on the screen while it scanned it.

"Confirmed. State New Owner's Name."

This time, Marcus signalled Andre to be the one to answer, "Ándras Ouroboros."

"Greetings, Sir Ándras." The voice said with a cheerful voice before returning to the normal neutral voice, "Would you like to install new software to modify the system to your liking?"

"We can skip that." Marcus said but he noticed that he suddenly opened his palm, "Let's see if this'll work." He muttered.

From his hand, Geist suddenly appeared, which shocked Marcus. "What's that?" He asked curiously.

"My Mount Spirit." Andre answered before plunging it deep into the screen.

After doing so, they noticed that the system started to shift, as if the database was being modified, which made the two nervous if it would work. A while later, the system and the screen went back to normal.

"Did it work?" Marcus asked.

From the front screen of the car, an image of a wisp suddenly appeared, "Greetings, Master. I can finally talk to you verbally."

"It worked!" Marcus exclaimed with surprise.

"So, how is your new body, Geist?" Andre asked.

"Although it is very new to the feeling, with a little bit of time, I'll surely be able to get the hang of it." The wisp answered.

He suddenly thought of something and immediately extended the question, "Can you still morph?"

"Morph?" Marcus was dumbfounded with what he heard from the man next to him. He doesn't know if what they meant and what he was thinking was the same, but he wanted to make sure. "What Morph?"

"Anything that he possesses can turn into a form that he or I want, like a boat, a plane, another car, a truck, and so on." Andre responded, making Marcus' eyes glisten with anticipation.

They both waited for Geist's response. After a while, the wisp image finally answered, "Yes, as long as there is sufficient materials."

Marcus burst into joy and chirped, "I'll get you as many parts and materials you need, darling!"

"Then, I thank you in advance, Mister Marcus." Geist's image then bowed before turning to Andre, "I have inspected the system of this body, Master. You can manually start this by using your pointing finger or middle finger and doing a circular motion on the screen below." He then instructed Andre on the other things, amazing Marcus with Geist's capabilities.

Digesting everything that the wisp said, Andre started to do his thing. He extended his right hand and placed two of his fingers– the middle and the index– and did a counter-clockwise circular motion.

Hummmm... instead of a vroom sound, the car released a smooth revving sound that is not too loud yet not too boringly quiet either. Andre nodded in approval as he applauded the smoothness of the car. Inside, there's little to no vibration that could be felt.

"Now, where's the steering wheel?" Andre muttered. "Leave it to me, Master." Geist responded and started to operate the system.

In the screen, the image of the steps of how to activate the manual driving mode appeared. Now knowing what to do, Andre began to press different buttons and, a few taps later..

Tshhh… the sound of a vacuum being opened could be heard as the steering wheel rose from below the dashboard. Touching it, he could feel the luxury of the material that was used. It felt comfortable to the touch and it has the right amount of rubbery texture to avoid the hand from slipping accidentally.

From below, the pedals also emerged, positioning in an exact position where the driver could reach it but still wouldn't be too much.

Andre breathed in and turned to Marcus, "Shall we?" He smiled.

As soon as Marcus responded with a nod, Andre immediately stepped on the gas pedal as the vehicle zoomed. Of course, Marcus has already opened the gate to allow the car to leave the building.
