808 Feeling The Loss
Author's Note: Unedited Chapters
-------------
DISHFORTH Thinking about the whole scenario now, Gustav realised that when the DECIMATION skill activated, all he could think about was rage and destruction. The power that was granted to him with that skill was only capable of destruction.
He recalled how much powerful he felt during that period, like he could destroy the entire city if he kept going off.
However now that he was awake he could feel that sothing wasn't quite right with the way he felt now due to his body feeling extrely weak.
He felt like he wouldn't be able to channel bloodline energy at the mont.
Gustav held his hand up slightly and stared at it.
'I lost control... Boss Danzo... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you but I have destroyed the bastards responsible for your death and I don't regret what happened,' Gustav said internally.
'I know you wouldn't have wanted to do anything especially when none of these actions would bring you back but... I would never be able to live with myself if I had let them get away with this...' Gustav looked down as he thought.
'...Revenge truly doesn't take the pain away...' Gustav didn't know when droplets of tears began to fall from his eyes.
'Even with all that power, in the end I'm still a miserable piece of shit who was unable to change the outco of the situation... You were the very first person to ever treat like I was not an empty space in the world... A leech... A thorn... An invisible entity... A useless existence...'
'Your personality made have a little faith in humanity... Made think there might still be hope for the species living on the face of this planet... If there were more people like you the world would definitely be a better place but good people get to suffer the worst fates while cruel and rciless people such as myself survive and rule the world... It's not fair...' Deep in thoughts, Gustav lanted.
He had never known the pain of losing a loved one and he never thought he would because right from his childhood days, he couldn't consider anyone a loved one.
He didn't think it would hurt this bad for soone who had been portrayed to have a steel heart.
"Gustav..." Sir ZiL voiced out and placed his hand on Gustav's left shoulder.
"I cannot fathom how much Danzo must have ant to you but you. Sorry for your loss once again but you have to stay here till we figure out how to handle the situation on the surface," Sir ZiL said with a compassionate tone.
"Alright, thank you," Gustav responded while cleaning the tears off his face.
"I will leave you alone for now and co back soti later. If you need anything just tell Zuke. It will et your demands," Sir ZiL said while pointing at the four feet tall humanoid assistant bot moving about in the lab.
Gustav nodded in response while Sir ZiL proceeded to head out of the lab.
'Four days is enough to get regenerated fully... Am I still weak because of the skill? A backlash maybe?' Gustav thought as he tried channeling his bloodline.
His body made so weird bubbling sounds for a few seconds before going silent.
'I can barely channel any strength from my bloodlines,' Gustav noticed.
His original bloodline especially was affected and Gustav couldn't shapeshift in this state. This made, leaving the lab even more impossible since he couldn't change his looks. He would instantly be discovered.
"Sysyem Interface," Gustav called out.
[UNABLE TO GENERATE SYSTEM INTERFACE]
"What?" Gustav exclaid with dumbfounded tone.
"System interface," He called out again.
[UNABLE TO GENERATE SYSTEM INTERFACE]
The sa notification as before popped up in his line of sight.
"What's going on?" He wondered.
[TIR: 4/7 DAYS]
Another notification popped up in Gustav's line of sight.
'Tir?' His mind quickly brought up a myriad of theories as he saw this notification that didn't give full details.
'I've been asleep for four days now... It says four out of seven which could an the System beca inoperable since I blacked out and three more days are left till it becos operational again,' This was the most aningful theory he could co up with at this ti.
He rembered that this was like the ti the system had an upgrade over a year ago. He had to wait for three to four days before he was able to use the system. However in this case he knew it wasn't a system upgrade since the system was whole again. If would need an imnse amount of power to upgrade beyond it's current state.
Gustav could already tell that this had to do with the hidden rage skill but he still wondered how and why the system was affected.
'Looks like I have to wait now,' Gustav sighed as he thought.
He hated this feeling of vulnerability but there was no choice right now.
As he laid on the bed, he suddenly recalled sothing and jerked up.
"Charisas and the other kid..."
He recalled creating a barrier of iro silk around them but Boss Danzo was able to appear in front of him and block the hit which ant the wall was encirclent was broken through.
"If they were among the deceased it would be also be Breaking News since the other kid has a powerful and popular background," Gustav analysed.
"That ans they're alive sowhere... Probably hiding away for now. The authorities must be searching for them as well," Gustav felt the survivors must have ntioned the presence of two other kids in the vicinity.
Since both of them were witnesses, the authorities would definitely want their input on what happened and these two were the only ones besides Gustav that knew how the incident begun.
'I'll have to ask Sir ZiL to find them for ,' Gustav thought.

In an unknown region, several high standing MBO officials sat in a board room.
Twelve of them sat around a massive table in the middle which displayed an holographic image of Gustav dressed in his Cadet outfit.
