章節 247: Chapter 236 - A Diamond-Rose

The Red Queen calculated all the possible reasons for Zeel's current state and then filtered the list to present only those that were relevant to his time with Lara.

"You were created through Project Pinnacle to be the perfect Human.

Note that you were created to be the perfect human that was also a Homo-Superior because they found that Homo-Superiors were flawed.

Perfection was calculated to contain a slight hint of imperfection, so that was a paradox in itself," The Red Queen stated.

"Yes, when you get to the peak, you often have to start over from ground zero," Zeel replied.

"Yes, over time you matured to become a perfect Homo-Superior and that meant everything from the atomic arrangement, biochemical processes, metaphysical consistencies were accounted for by your parents, but …."

"But what is perfect right?" Zeel asked mockingly.

"Exactly, you were not perfect, you were a blank paper that required art. The Art was applied but not through Project Pinnacle, but through Asheborn training on The Nameless Planet.

But Perfect was ever-changing so they programmed you to be ever-changing.

Your body was already perfect, the mind was also perfect, but they needed to forge the correct personality which was … an ever-changing personality,"

"I know this, what is your point?" Zeel asked mildly frustrated.

"Well…" The Red Queen mused and decided to speak immediate facts "Your body was trained to react without your intervention…adjust…emulate…terminate the action.

Every female species that come close to you causes your body to adjust unique pheromone variants to attract that female.

Humans are not as sensitive as other races but you will never negatively impact the olfactory senses of a female species. Females instinctually feel drawn to you as a potential mate.

You stimulate nerve endings in any part of the body to the peak of their sensitivity tolerance. That means you can never have bad sex with females.

Kissing a female would arouse them sexually while also strengthening their immune system beyond what it was previously.

The microbes in their body absorb the energy you naturally radiate during sex.

Everything about you is an addiction or elixir to the female species. Your saliva fastens cell regeneration; your breath purifies the nearby atmosphere making it more energy-dense.

Your presence demands attention from any species even if it is suppressed.

The polarity on the epidermal layer of your body reverses to match the frequency of any creature so they feel closer to you instinctually.

This phenomenon was weak at first and therefore negligible but it is growing in strength. Universe 0 could contain these phenomena but other Universes cannot.

I don't think you should see Lara because she cannot reject you… it was already unusual that she could resist you for as long as she had.

Your body reacted to every moment you spent with Lara, your personality became slightly humorous but mysterious to invite her interest.

You subconsciously did everything you were taught to do for infiltration tactics. Basically, you have no personality of your own, and simply adjusts as time passes by,"

Zeel rubbed his brows, these were not things he could control that easily. It was the 'superior' in Homo-Superior.

Alice was partially imprinted upon by himself, Elizabeth was a resonance phenomenon caused by Lorien's machinations, and Ella and Alle were made from Elizabeth's and Zeel's genetic samples.

Zeel never had to worry about these phenomena until he started to interact with mortal races like unevolved humans.

Still, even if his body was like a drug to Lara, Zeel still had controlled his 'unique' advantages when they had sex.

Zeel brushed his shoulders off as his clothing shifted to designer-brand clothing. A regular T-shirt, plain short pants, and Tim's boots were what Zeel chose to be his outfit.

Of course, the suit could not be completed without a pendant around his neck that held the symbol of the Crawford household.

Zeel did not answer The Red Queen and simply made gestures with his left hand in a peculiar manner.

The Red Queen soon dissipated into motes of light that were absorbed into his Mbeamer.

Despite all the ramblings, The Red Queen was essential a Sentient, so she had to work in Zeel's best interest at all times.

Stepping out from under the bridge, Zeel noticed that his white hair had begun to recover its silvery-sheen, so he quickly altered the structure of his hair once more.

Silver was the true color of his hair, but it was only apparent in the sun's rays.

After making sure that his appearance was tolerable, Zeel breathe a sigh of relief and walked a couple of miles to the gym.

It had been two months of inactivity, so his power had increased once more. The more Gods slept, the better they recharged or adjusted to their strengths.

It appeared that ten years was not enough to tap out Zeel's potential.

Even if he could change height as he pleased, Zeel found that his body would now immediately readjust to 6"3 after his energy was depleted.

While walking, Zeel thought about all the things he could do with his divinities since his awakening as a God.

During the Divine Ascension stage, Zeel, Alice, and Elizabeth could already perform actions like they were Divine Actualization Stage Gods.

Now, as a Divine Actualization Stage God, Zeel felt that he could manipulate his divinity on a small scale while also allowing it to function properly.

He could look at someone and see the defining moments in their life's journey – Traveller's Eyes.

Zeel entered different Time Zones and manipulate speed vectors inside the Time Zones – Time Zone Manipulation.

Finally, Zeel could create Dimensional Shifts, also known as warps, that allowed him to travel short distances that spanned miles.

Zeel had yet to try connecting the Dimensional Shifts to other dimensions because of his battle against The Kraken.

His intuition told him it would be dangerous to attempt connecting to Dimensions.

Halfway to the gym, Zeel was confronted by a beggar on the side of the road.

"Hey, mate. You got the change to spare?"

Zeel eyed the man and the cup inside his hands for a moment. Zeel reached into the cup and took out a penny that soon shifted its silver-sheen to a gold one instead.

Zeel used the gold dust inside his storage dimension to coat the coin. Alice still thought of gold as precious so he only had to borrow the gold flakes from her Storage Dimension.

Their storage dimensions were interconnected after all, or at least Zeel had access to both Alice's and Elizabeth's storage dimension.

A small headache plagued Zeel, but as long as he was not the one to spend the coin, everything should be fine.

"I'll trade you this gold one for all the other coins in that pan," Zeel negotiated while laughing in his head.

The beggar did not even hesitate to say 'deal', and with that Zeel was exempted from any consequences that may arise from his actions.

Zeel took the pan and strode away, counting the money carefully. The total came up to fifty quid, this caused Zeel to face a conundrum.

He could purchase a meal or go to the flower store to purchase a bouquet of roses for Lara.

Zeel had long become accustomed to the nuances of human interactions, and The Red Queen's database was filled with books that could aid him in any 'romantic' endeavors he pursued.

Sadly, The Red Queen lamented the fact that she inadvertently helped Zeel cheat on her own sister.

"Sigh, I wish I could just make the flowers," Zeel complained internally, but anything he would create could be potentially deadly or just have too much potential for improvement.

Zeel was not someone to leave something in an imperfect state, hence why he rarely made anything.

Sadly, even creating a rose from his nanites was not an option, it would be too precious for an unevolved world.

Entering the flower store, Zeel paused by the door with a struggling expression apparent on his face.

"Can't decide which one to get?" The Shopkeeper asked as she walked up behind Zeel.

Zeel sighed, it was too late to back down at this time "Just give me as many colored roses as you can,"

The shopkeeper chirped excitedly, her enthusiasm causing Zeel to subconsciously stare at her a bit longer than he intended.

Zeel was appalled by what his Traveller's eyes discovered, this woman had matched dozens of lovers that actually stayed together.

Receiving the roses from the woman, Zeel stared at her a bit longer with a small smile gracing his face.

It was one of those truly rare moments that stimulated his kinder side. Zeel held out a red rose to the woman, and soon the rose began to crystallize.

The flower turned into a Diamond-Rose that startled the Shopkeeper, but by the time she looked up, Zeel was gone and Diamond-Rose was within her hands.

The Shopkeeper stared at the Diamond-Rose until she saw a small engraving "Life is a flower, part Rosy, part Thorny, but still very alluring – Zeel Crawford,"
