Chapter 240 - Break

"What is it now? I can't even catch a break for even half a second? Why does this world intend of sending out everything it has against me?" Julius asked himself as he turned his head back towards the thing that had pushed him to the side only to see a regular human flying somehow. Seeing as it was levitating, Julius assumed that it was using a secret art which must have meant that they were from the cultivation world.

"Who are you and which kingdom do you originate from? You do realize that the war is over right? You're supposed to serve me now," said Julius as he tried to explain to the human that Julius was its true king.

"I go by the name of Jon #0405. I do not understand what you're talking about when you say what kingdom I'm from. I am from this world, more specifically the 'HRS lab'. If you are wondering where I'm actually from, that's the place that I come from," said the human as it revealed to Julius something very interesting.

"Wait so you're not from the cultivation world, that's what I'm hearing right now right?" Julius asked just to make sure that he was hearing things correctly to which the human replied with a nod before charging towards Julius once again to continue their battle. However as the human continued to attack him, Julius acted on defence while also having subconscious thoughts in his head.

"He says that he's from a place called HRS lab. From the sound of it, it's almost guaranteed to be a lab of some kind. The only problem is that I don't know what type of lab it is. From why I already know, I only have one guess but it's more likely correct or at least close as it's the only one that I can think of it. My guess is that HRS stands for human research system. That accompanied by the world lab made perfect sense as the creature that stood in front of Julius did not seem like a regular human nor a cultivator in the least and it still know to how use technology properly with also having the genetic make up to preform secret arts which is quite troublesome as they have takes the best of both words to create the best creature on this planet. Although it's a bit disappointing to say that he won't be that special. In all truth, I'm not special on my own. Without having been bless with the pill tang I was forced to take all those years ago, I would have ended up like a normal person. As such, it doesn't matter if the new monster that was created was a direct descendant of me. It'll still end up being pretty normal if not disappointing," Julius thought to himself as he tried to analyze the situation.

Seeing as the creature that was attempting to stop him was pretty weak, Julius decided to stop all the nuisance around him and try to punch the figure in the chest however something unexpected took place.

The figure for a syringe out of no where and used it to stab something into Julius before pulling out the syringe and leaving Julius confused.

"What did you just do to me?" Julius began to ask as his head began to deal hazy and he was starting to lose consciousness however before he could pass out, Julius realIzed what was going to happen and tried to attack the figure one last time and concluding battle with him being the winner. 

"Oh that? That was just a deadly virus which evens body like yours shouldn't be able to block. You should be at least one hundred times weaker than your original state. However as time passes, you will only grow weaker and weaker as the virus multiplies and your body before finally killing you from the inside out. You've already lost. I guess regular humans are still capable of taking down the strongest one from the magical humans. It proves that our minds are much more powerful than anything else in our body," the genetically modified human continued to speak nonsense as Julius' mind continued to lose consciousness. 

"Just allow it to happen. There's no need for you to resist it any longer. You know you don't stand a chance against us. Just accept the loss and die already," the modified human continued to speak down to Julius as if he had already won the battle.

Although just like a true hero, Julius would have wanted to feel better by himself before charging into battle to destroy the enemy, he was not in some fictional story where every would go his way. Unfortunately for him, things were not going to be that easy. As such, Julius closed his eyes for what seemed like the last time as his body finally gave out on him and he began to fall from the sky at an ever increasing rate as if his body was made out of metal.

However Julius was at least lucky as a helping hand did in fact come to rescue him from his doom. That being spike as he laid his palm on Julius' back ever so slightly so that no damage would be caused to him. 

"There's no need for you to always play the role of the hero all alone. It actually hurts our feelings when you do that since it makes us feel like we're just a waste of space to you. Let us help you once in a while," said Spike as he helped Julius continue to stay afloat as he carried him on his back while still levitating.

"He's right you know. There's no reason for you to scare us constantly by nearly dying every single time. If it wasn't for your tremendous luck, you would have died many times over by now. Just place some faith in us," said Rosie as she activated a healing type of secret art to help Julius recover.. It didn't matter what type of human virus was in Julius' body, Rosie had implemented a dragon tier healing secret art which would surpass any type of illness.
