Chapter 12 Carl’s Past

Kumo came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward and took Ivankov off Carl, and found a chair for Ivankov to sit down.

The four of them sat around a dining table, tasting the fish cooked by Kumo. This fish was their only dish tonight, but fortunately, the fish was quite big.

Carl ate with gusto. This was the first time he had a hot meal since he time traveled.

When they were in Valley of Gods, they didn't have the energy to catch fish, let alone light a fire to cook, so they could only pick up some wild fruits as rations.

However, the three others didn't move their chopsticks for a long time. They just watched Carl showing off the fish with big mouthfuls.

After drinking a large bowl of thick fish soup, Carl smacked his lips, looked up at the three of them, and praised, "Why don't you eat it? It tastes really good!"

Kuma asked tentatively, "Brother Carl, do you still remember what happened during the day? There was an electric current in your body. Is that also your Devil Fruit ability?"

Ginny nodded vigorously, stretched out her hands, and gestured, "Yes, yes, even your eyes turned red. It was so scary!"

Ivankov did not speak. He stared at Carl with a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, full of curiosity. Obviously, he also wanted to know what happened to Carl.

Carl was not prepared to hide anything from these three people and whispered, "That's because I remembered something. You should have heard what the man said to me when we were about to leave."

At that time, the most conscious person besides Carl was Kuma. Kuma said, "I remember, that person said your surname was Figarland. Does this surname have any significance?"

"Of course, that last name reminds me of a lot of things..." Speaking of this, Carl suddenly paused. He looked directly into Kuma's eyes and slowly said, "Kuma, if I were a Celestial Dragon, would you hate me?"

"Nani!?" x2

As soon as these words came out, Ginny and Ivankov jumped up from their chairs and looked at Carl in disbelief.

Compared to the two people's reactions, Kuma was much calmer. He lowered his head and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.

Carl didn't speak, just looked at Kuma quietly.

The church hall was eerily quiet, and Ginny finally couldn't bear it any longer. She forced a smile on her face and started laughing, "Are you kidding? Brother Carl, how can you be a Celestial Dragon? We just escaped from Valley of Gods together!"

Ginny was unwilling to accept this reality from the bottom of her heart, but looking at Carl's serious look, she knew that this matter was most likely true.

Carl looked at Ginny and said softly, "How could I joke about such a thing? I am indeed a Celestial Dragon. Otherwise, why would Garling, the leader of the Knights of God, rescue a slave from Charlotte Linlin?"

"This Garling is yours...?"

"It's my uncle."

Tears welled up in Ginny's eyes. She ran to Carl and held his hands tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him. She murmured as if she was deceiving herself, "No, that's just a coincidence. Yes, if that's the case, why would they allow you to live in Valley of Gods?"

Carl raised his hand and stroked a dull pink hair on Ginny's head and recounted his previous experiences in an extremely calm tone.

Now that he has merged with the remaining soul of the original body, including the memory of the original body, he has experienced the pain all over again.

He was born in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land, to St. Figarland Darian, the eldest son of the Figarland family.

Darian's younger brother is Garling, who has become the leader of the Knights of God. The Knights of God are the ace force that protects the Celestial Dragons. The leader of each generation is inherited by a member of the Figarland family.

Of course, such an important position will not be assigned to a certain family. The reason why it is always held by a member of the Figarland family is because the members of the Figarland family are not only a small number of "awake factions" but also extremely talented.

Their talents are not compared to those Celestial Dragons, but to the top experts outside. This can be seen from Garling. His performance in the Valley of Gods was absolutely outstanding. He played against Charlotte Linlin, Newgate, and finally Rocks, and he showed no signs of decline.

This generation of the Figarland family gave birth to a pair of brothers, Garling and Darian. As the elder brother, Darian was actually very talented, but compared to his younger brother Garling, he was weaker. He lost to Garling every time he competed, and in the end, he missed the position of leader of the Knights of God. This has also become a permanent thorn in Darian's heart.

However, his talent seems to be more in his mind. In terms of scientific research, he can be said to be ten miles ahead of Garling. There are too many talented races in this world, and Darian also focused on this. In the end, he chose the fur tribe and the Lunaria tribe.

He wants to add these two genes to himself through experiments to become stronger! But he is more afraid of death, and he is an adult, and his body is almost fully developed. Even if he uses genetic modification, the effect will be limited. Just when he was a little discouraged, his child, Carl, was born.

The Figarland family attaches great importance to the physical aptitude of their descendants and has special equipment to identify this. Carl's statistics in all aspects are very strong, even stronger than the original Garling.

This made Darian overjoyed. This cold-blooded guy actually set his sights on his own son! Carl's body is too perfect for Darian, not to mention it's his bloodline!

There are many ways to exchange bodies in this world, such as Op-Op Fruit. As a member of the Celestial Dragons, Darian certainly knows this. Greedy, he is not even satisfied. He wants to apply his previous ideas and genetic modification experiments to Carl. He wants to get a body comparable to that of a god!

As a result, Darian teamed up with Vegapunk to conduct inhumane genetic experiments on the young Carl. But no matter how strong Carl's physical talent is, he is still a child after all. The long-term experiment directly caused his body to collapse and the experiment failed.

Seeing Carl who had "died" on the experimental table, Darian didn't even feel a trace of sadness in his heart, but only madness and violence.

"Waste! Waste!!!"

Darian, who had become mentally perverted, actually hated Carl. He hated Carl for shattering his dream. So, he ordered his henchmen to throw Carl's "body" into the slave ship and transported it to the Valley of Gods with the ship...
