Chapter 35: Gaze of the emperor!

Looking at the unlocked ability icon, Lucien was confused about how to access it. His mind kept spinning as he thought of a special word need to unlock this section.

"Open?" Lucien muttered halfheartedly.

"Wow…" Lucien's jaw dropped as he watched numerous notifications and new messages appear but he couldn't explain what was has going on, all he knew was that he could feel himself getting stronger.

'Is this the effects of the power source? Soo strong!" Lucien was extremely shocked by the fact that he was gaining strength due to his past achievements!

With this new upgrade, he could feel three major changes taking place in his body. The first had to do with his vitality and mana reserves, he could tell they have both returned to what they used to be. He could also feel his entire physique improve and thanks to the information displayed Lucien could confirm that the bonus points shared to all stats were legit.

Finally, the last discovery was enough to put a smile on his face. Shutting his eyes tightly, Lucien once again found himself in a dark room but this time it was no different from before. A small whirlpool and bolt of lightning could be seen! Even though it was very minor it meant there is still hope for his revival!

"What are you?" Lucien asked with a hint of fear mixed with excitement as well.

[I am a system set up to help my host reach the peak! I am the power you sought]

The system gave a short answer and even though Lucien didn't truly believe this system but for now he knew it was the only way for him to recover so he didn't push the matter any further.

"Is it possible for me to completely remove the curse from my body?" Lucien asked while silently praying for a positive answer.

[Yes… As the host grows strong, the system will grow as well, allowing it to slowly remove traces of the god's aura in you… Apart from this, there are other ways of expelling this aura but none are currently within your reach] The system replied.

Huff!

Lucien breathed out as he nodded slowly. The answer was satisfying enough to make his usual grin appear on his face.

Stretching forth his hand, slowly, Lucien conjured a small finger-sized wind twister while his eyes let out a silver glow.

"Grandfather… You and the entire clan will regret turning your back on me… On the day we meet, I will put on a show you will never forget!" Lucien muttered.
