My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

Chapter 480 - Human Creation

Chapter 480: Human Creation

“Activate the race chess piece, Human Creation.”

Watson reached out and grabbed the chess piece that floated out of his chest. The chess piece danced slightly in his hand, and light poured out and landed on the ground. A ball of light squirmed and transformed into a human figure.

During that process, green life energy burst out of Watson’s body. The life energy drew the symbol of a World Tree on his back and poured into the human figure that appeared on the ground.

The energy fused, first the bones, then the flesh and blood. A naked man appeared in front of everyone. He had fiery red hair, and his face was the same as Augustus’. He looked proud and domineering. The color of his eyes was different. They were not dark red but emerald green, and there was confusion in them.

“What’s going on? Why am I here? ”

Augustus, who had been resurrected, raised his hands and looked at himself, somewhat at a loss. He remembered he had been forced to lay eggs for a day, which weakened his body. The king had sent a woman named Sidi to visit him and had even fed him some black liquid. After that, his consciousness faded.

Did the King send someone to kill him?

Even though Augustus could not remember anything after his body was invaded, the memory fragments that occasionally flashed through his mind reminded him of something.

“Augustus has been resurrected. What kind of ability is that?”

The people in the room were taken aback by Augustus’ appearance. What surprised them the most was not the fact that Augustus had been resurrected but that his body was no longer in the transformed puppet form. Instead, he had returned to his original form. Augustus’ body was full of muscles, and it was clear that he was flesh and blood.

After recovering Augustus’ body, Watson stopped the transfer of life energy from his body, and the human chess piece returned to his chest.

As the controller of the human race chess piece, Watson could create humans. He could create different humans according to his preferences and perspectives. Strictly speaking, the Augustus he created was no longer the original Augustus. He was just another person who had the same memories, experiences, and personality as Augustus.

Whether the two completely the same people could be considered as one person was a controversial topic. At least to the Campbell family, Augustus had been resurrected.

“Wait a minute, what if this Augustus is a fake illusion? Or if Watson simply used magic to imitate Augustus’ appearance, but in essence, that person is not my child.”

While the others were exclaiming in shock, Newman approached Augustus and stretched his right hand outward, wanting to touch Augustus’ cheek. However, he still held it in and turned his head to question Watson.

Humans were like that. When they could not see hope, they would try their best to hold on to it. However, when they saw hope, they would start to question whether it was real or not.

“Augustus, your father thinks that you are not real. Prove it to him. ”

Watson smiled slightly. The confusion in Augustus’ eyes disappeared when he heard his words. He frowned. “Watson, so it was you who saved me. Don’t think that you can order me around just because you saved me.”

Augustus shifted his gaze to Newman. His gaze became conflicted. “Father, I’m Augustus. What can I do to prove that I’m not a fake?”

“Say a few things that only the Campbell family knows.”

“Alright.”

Augustus nodded and cleared his throat, “In order to defeat Watson, I was modified by Grandfather in time. The flesh that was cut from my body was not thrown away. Instead, Grandfather sealed it in a container and placed it in the second flowerbed in the courtyard. That was considered a secret.”

“That’s right. Only Augustus and I know about that.”

Armand nodded as well.

The flesh cut from Augustus’ body should have been disposed of. Armand was reluctant to bury Augustus’ flesh in the second flowerbed. Perhaps it was because Augustus’ body contained a strong power; the flowers were in full bloom in the garden where Augustus’ flesh was buried.

“That doesn’t count. Maybe a gardener saw the flesh buried under the flowers when he was trimming them, or maybe someone secretly saw Father burying the flesh there.” Newman was a little moved, but he still shook his head.

“In that case, let’s talk about you, Father. You have a mistress outside, the wife of a certain count in the capital. That manor was bought in my name, so I went there once! Although you and Mother appear loving, I know that you have a hobby. You like other people’s wives.”

Augustus spoke slowly, and the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately changed after he finished speaking. Many of the higher-ups cast their gazes on Newman with strange expressions. “Newman, is that true? You like other people’s wives? The count’s wife? I did not expect you to have such a hobby. If this matter were to spread, it would be another major scandal in the kingdom.”

“Don’t listen to that fake in front of you… No, don’t listen to Augustus’ nonsense. ”

Newman’s face alternated between green and ashen. He denied it, but he called the young man Augustus.

“I’m aware of a portrait of Aunt Freya in Uncle’s room. Once, he stripped naked in front of the portrait and did something indescribable. He gave me a thousand gold coins and told me not to tell anyone about that,” Augustus continued.

“Brother McGee, is there such a thing? You know, I have a husband.” Freya looked at her eldest brother, shame and anger appearing on her face.

“Nonsense, how is such a thing possible? D*mn it, Newman! Quickly shut your son up!” McGee gritted his teeth; his expression was furious. He slapped the table and stood up.

At that moment, Augustus gave a few more tidbits about the Campbell family. Just as the higher-ups of the Campbell family were feeling uneasy, Augustus suddenly changed the topic to Armand. “As for Grandfather, I also know one thing—”

“Wait a moment, Augustus. Without a doubt, you are the genius of our Campbell family, Augustus. We don’t need to confirm it anymore. I believe everyone has no objections, right?” Without waiting for Augustus to finish speaking, Armand hurriedly interrupted him.

As the head of the Campbell family, it would be too embarrassing if Augustus exposed him. At that moment, after he finished speaking, all the higher-ups of the Campbell family nodded.

“That must be Augustus.”

“It’s definitely him.”

They did not want Augustus to expose more things. He had given away too many of their secrets. The person in front of them was Augustus.

“Watson, you came to us and resurrected Augustus. We owe you a favor. What do you want in return?”

Armand tried to conceal his awkwardness. His fingers tapped on the table as he asked with a serious expression.

Watson and the Campbell family did not have a good relationship. However, Watson had revived, so it was impossible for him not to return the favor.

“Well, I want to choose a person to become the next head of the Campbell family. What do you think?”

Watson placed his finger on his lips and revealed a half-smile.

His words made many of the higher-ups in the Campbell family look troubled. They were prepared to refuse him. They wanted to appoint someone in their family to become the future head of the Campbell family. There was only one person Watson could nominate. Many people turned their gaze to Lubin.

If Lubin became the head of the Campbell family, Watson would control their family in the future.

“Watson, forgive me for not agreeing to your request.”

Armand did not hesitate at all as he rejected Watson’s request. “Make a new request.”

Watson smiled as if he had expected that result. “Since that’s the case, I’ll change my request. Since I resurrected Augustus, the Campbell family shall give me another 100 holy relics for that. Together with the 900 holy relics that Augustus owed me, the Campbell family will need to give me 1,000 holy relics.”

A thousand holy relics?

All the holy relics in the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom combined were not that much. The Campbell family’s higher-ups were complaining in their hearts, while Augustus frowned. “Watson, do you think I’m worth a hundred holy relics?”

“Augustus, stop talking.” Newman stepped forward and pulled Augustus back toward him. If Augustus continued to talk, Watson would increase the price, and the Campbell family would have to pay even more.

“Then let’s put it this way. I’ll give you one week to pay me that! Lubin, let’s go. Anyway, they don’t want you to stay in the meeting. They even said that you’ve polluted the air here. Let them continue their discussion.”

Watson turned around and walked out. Lubin followed closely behind him. Before that, he glanced at the people in the room. At that moment, no one dared to mock him. Instead, they looked cautious, and that scene made him sneer, and he left without looking back.

On the one hand, he had returned to the Campbell family to show off the benefits he had obtained from Mount Creation. On the other hand, he also wanted to improve the lives of his family members. That group of people, led by Newman, actually criticized him during the meeting. So, he had nothing to say. It was much better to stay by Watson’s side than to stay there. Initially, when Watson asked for a thousand holy relics, he could still help to intercede. After that, he could not be bothered to care about it.

“Newman, the meeting here is not suitable for you. No need to stay. Go and wait outside! There’s also the cost of revyou’dAugustus. The Campbell family will not help you pay for that. Think of a way to solve that.” After Watson left, Armand immediately waved at Newman as if he did not like Newman.

“Yes, Father.” Newman gritted his teeth and braced himself to agree. He brought Augustus and walked out of the room. The higher-ups looked at Newman with pity, even though they knew that Newman had caused the Campbell family to suffer the loss of a thousand holy relics. In addition, he had an affair with the count’s wife. Armand could no longer protect him, and the prestige Newman had built up after decades of hard work in the Campbell family had collapsed in an instant.

The same thing happened with another family in the royal city.
