Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Upgrade
As the sun started setting on the horizon, a magnificent phoenix was flying through the clouded sky.
Its vibrant feathers, ablaze with shades of crimson, gold, and sapphire, caught the last rays of light, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
With graceful wings outstretched, the phoenix soared effortlessly, gliding through the clouds as if they were its playground. Every beat of its wings is accompanied by a gentle breeze that carries with it a sense of wonder.
The phoenix's majestic presence illuminated the darkened sky, leaving a trail of ethereal brilliance in its wake. As it dances amidst the clouds, its entire body was surrounded with terrifying flames that could scare anyone.
Despite the flames, two people were sitting atop the Phoenix. One was the true master of the phoenix, who could never be hurt by the flames.
As for the other person, it was a woman much stronger than the man. As she was allowed permission to be there, the phoenix flames did not harm her either.
Eren was soon able to see the Coastal City where he had decided to rest last time. In the dark night, the entire city was illuminated with bright lights.
Looking at these lights, no one would have believed that the entire city was no different than a ghost town. Beneath all this glitter, it was only gruesome scenery.
He did feel a little regret over what happened. If he hadn't thought about resting in this city before going to the Ocean, he might have avoided a lot of this. This city would not have suffered in such a way.
Unfortunately, he could not travel back in time to change things. He could only look towards the future, and not the past.
The Phoenix soon crossed the airspace of the city, confirming that the other Heroes had not arrived to check things yet. The twenty people left alive by Xiu Ying were doing their job properly.
He sat alone in the embrace of the moonlight, while Xiu Ying was lying, her head resting on his lap. Her eyes were closed as she slept like a peaceful baby.
He could only imagine how exhausting it was for her, that she had fallen asleep right after confirming that he was fine.
On Xiu Ying's belly, Celeste was also sleeping. On the corner of her lips, some traces of cake were still present, that she hadn't noticed.
"This truly feels like I have a family of my own."
Eren thought to himself, feeling a warmth in his heart as he looked at Xiu Ying and Celeste peacefully asleep next to him.
It was in these quiet moments that he found solace and a sense of belonging that he had been longing for.
At first, he wanted to escape this world as soon as possible. He wanted to return to earth and save his life. But in moments like these, he realized that this place wasn't too bad.
Even if he was the enemy of many powerful people, because of his complicated identity, it was still a decent place.
This world was filled with wonders that he could never find in this world. It was truly an adventure that he had only read about in the novels.
Moreover, even though this place was dangerous, he could still navigate the chaotic waters.
Feng Yu did not know he was a spy. And because all the witnesses were killed, Mist also could not know that he was the one who killed Astral.
The Heroes did not have anyone who could see the past. If they did, they would have used that person to look at the past of the woman that put the knife in his pocket.
If they really had someone like that, they would have known that he had the knife, and not believed when he said otherwise.
Because of that, Astral believed that he had brought him some more time at least. As long as he could return to the Eastern Continent with Sea Dragon's blood, he could pretend that he was never here.
The gentle breeze brushed against his face, carrying with it a sense of tranquility that he hoped would last forever.
[System upgrade Complete]
"Hmm?" The silence was broken by a notification that appeared in front of him, surprising him.
"What upgrade? Ah, right! I forgot that one..."
When he accepted his second disciple, he had received four options. Each of the four options had the system upgrade options with a different letter at the end.
After he completed the choice, he had never heard anything about that again. With the passage of time, he had completely forgotten about that.
If he hadn't forgotten, he might have cursed the system for scamming him out of a reward.
"So the reason I did not hear anything for so long was because the upgrade was ongoing in the background?"
Eren was curious what this upgrade was about. Even though he had four optional upgrades available to him, he was not able to see the details of those options.
He did not understand what each of those options brought for him.
"Please be something good... Please be something good..." He repeated as he reached out his hand, simultaneously praying for it to be a useful upgrade.
At this point in his life, he needed every help he could get, especially since his enemies were getting more dangerous with each passing second.
He had just come across one Transmigrator from earth, and he had almost died. There were supposed to be at least two more of them, whose identity was unknown.
He did not even know how strong they were going to be. Were they as strong as Astral? Or were they even stronger? In any case, he could not leave it to luck.
When it came to luck, there were also four Main Characters in this world, all born with a Plot Armor. To survive, he needed to become strong... So strong that even the Overlords would have to pay respects to him.
"Huh? This upgrade..."
The corner of Eren's lips crept up as he read the information of the upgrade.
