Chapter 2298 Corey\'s Guilt
Location: Lil Red Storm Realm, Realm\'s Womb, Seed World
Going through the detailed list of acquirable physiques and traits, Wyatt found that they only met Corey\'s urgent needs and nothing more. Hence, it was a short list. These acquirable physiques and traits all had either mental strength-enhancing or focusing effects, allowing their wielders to showcase strong mental tenacity. Some had unique attributes like mental resistance, mental purification, mental purge, etc., making them rare.
Seeing how all these acquirable physiques and traits were tailored for specific dark tribes, Wyatt concluded that Park had gone through the trouble of translating the methods and summarizing them for him. However, that was unnecessary and counterproductive. When Wyatt created his soul division power system using techniques and methods developed by various races across the myriad realms, he discovered that many important points and meanings these techniques and methods tried to convey often got lost in translation.
To truly understand them, one should learn the language and read the original techniques or methods as their creators intended to impart to future generations. Some, especially those from dark tribes, record their techniques and methods in such a way that, when translated, they function but with a deadly twist. As the saying goes, \'A thief fears theft. Therefore, reading the original text was crucial; otherwise, one might as well abandon the technique or method altogether.
"Is this all? Or do you want to add more? Don\'t hesitate to include those with higher requirements or restrictions. I plan to read the original techniques or methods for all these acquirable physiques and traits to better evaluate them and reach the best conclusion," Wyatt informed Park, asking her to add more options to the list as he did not fear the workload but rather the possibility of not giving his best effort.
"Are you sure? They are all written in various languages. I had to use the Devil Merchant Code\'s functions to translate them," Park asked, concerned.
After all, the list contained not only desired acquirable physiques and traits from the dark realm but also from across the myriad realms. She worried that learning all those languages and understanding the original texts would take Wyatt a lot of time, which he did not have-especially since, before leaving the warehouse meeting, the Field Marshal had asked her to remind Wyatt to complete his daily combat arts training. "Just give me the list of the acquirable physiques and traits you actually want Corey to have, and let me worry about the rest," Wyatt assured. With the Hive Al upgraded to Hive Spirit, it had become capable of many incredible feats that were previously impossible. Now was the perfect chance for him to test them out.
"Fine, but don\'t push yourself too hard. We can always fall back on our initial plan to create a mental defense type skill card," Park said, feeling that Wyatt was going above and beyond his capabilities to help them. Even she, who was aware how desperately Corey was in need of any one of these acquirable physiques or traits, did not bother to read the original texts due to the heavy workload. Yet, he was willing to do it for them with a smile.
Wyatt wasn\'t aware of the turmoil he had set in motion within Park\'s ego; it was so intense that it even alarmed Corey. Unconcerned with all that, once he received the file-shared notification, he prepared to leave, informing Park and Corey, "I\'ve got the list. I\'m heading into the inter-realm city to take advantage of its different time zones. So, don\'t worry, we\'ll complete this today."
"Wyatt.-" Corey suddenly called out, interrupting Wyatt as he found a spot in Corey\'s cottage to rest his physical body and prepared to have his spiritual body enter the inter-realm city. In his haste, Wyatt did not listen to what Corey had to say and interrupted her before fully immersing himself in the spiritual city. "Don\'t worry, Corey. I\'ll find you the best mental-type acquirable physique or trait out there and tailor it to be nothing short of an innate physique or trait."
Park and Corey stood there, watching as Wyatt\'s physical body entered a hibernation mode while his spiritual body ventured into the inter-realm city, a.k.a. the spiritual city in the spiritual plane. Soon, tears began to roll down Corey\'s face as she started crying out loud. Park, who understood the reason behind Corey\'s tears, stood like a like lifeless flame not knowing how to console her.
"Park, what am I doing? He thinks I\'m his best friend and is going to such lengths for me, but here I am trying to deceive him."
Corey, who was alarmed by the sudden fluctuation in Park\'s ego, felt her emotions and understood what had caused the intense impact on Park\'s psyche. Thus, she learned about the lengths Wyatt was willing to go for her. Even Park, a part of her, was hesitant to take this task due to the immense effort required, but Wyatt\'s willingly took on the challenge with a smile.
Realizing just how much Wyatt thought of her, Corey fell to her knees, eventually curling up on the floor, hugging her knees as she cried even harder. She thought knowing all this if she still tried to trick Wyatt she would be no different than the Corey whose actions pushed their mother to suicide. Park stood there, looking at her wailing her heart out, unsure of what to say or do. She knew Wyatt was too good for Corey, but today she realized just how good he truly was for her.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Everything they had today was because of his generosity. Without him, the Southern Royal family would have imprisoned her for heresy the moment they discovered her Title Demon Core, and used her to further exploit her parents, who were stuck in the Way Beyond, trying to save their wealth.
"Park, I don\'t want to deceive him, but I also want big sis Susan to have the Hourglass Relic. What should I do?" Corey wailed, caught in a dilemma. Pushing Wyatt into the abyss for Susan\'s sake was not an option she was willing to consider anymore let alone as easy as before. She wanted both of them. However, she had to make a choice as she couldn\'t have it both ways.
"Don\'t get me wrong, but you could just let Wyatt and big sis Susan date and let nature take its course. If it\'s meant to be, you can try to be happy for them. If not, you\'ve tried to be a good friend and a good little sister," Park pointed out, knowing Corey wanted her best friend and her mother but did not want her best friend coveting the position of her stepfather. However, if she wanted both of them, she could only give her blessing sooner or later. It was only a matter of time.
AN: I couldn\'t be concise in this chapter. Many readers have expressed dislike for Corey and her character development, and I take responsibility for not showcasing her complexity effectively. Please keep in mind that she\'s just a troubled teen who is taking full responsibility for her past and past-lives mistakes, though nobody is asking her to, and is trying her best to be better.
