chapter 75

When Max saw Joshua in his deep meditation, He feels something that he hasn't felt in a long time. Fear, pure raw fear. It was the fear that he would die in a second if he made any wrong move. He was feeling like a lamb who by mistake had entered a lion's den. 

He saw how the aura surrounding his master was affecting the environment. Max could feel something more coming from the aura. It was this feeling that terrified him most. 

It feels like death. Like the reaper has pressed his scythe on his neck and if he took a single step more toward Joshua he would cut his neck. 

Max gulped, his head was full of sweat beads. But he steeled his heart and entered the field. 

It was at this moment that Max realizes what the word Horror truly means. The moment he was inside the field, he started to feel like his body started to age. He felt like every second decade of his life span was getting sucked out of him. His healing factor was working on full. That's why his appearance didn't change. 

But Max could feel his life seeping away from him and the next moment he was again full of vitality due to his healing factor. Max's healing factor was second to Joshua only. If there is even a single drop of blood remains he will regenerate in a matter of minutes. 

According to Joshua, Max was a true omega-level mutant with the potential to go even higher. His X-Gene quickly adapted to Elysium and His whole body DNA was mutated and the X gene was integrated. 

According to Joshua One day Max will be a planet buster force. And it says something about his powers. 

Max looked at his lord and leaves the area.

Max approaches Darwin's room and there saw Sebastian waiting for him. 

" So what do you find? " Sebastian asked hurriedly. 

" I think You should calm down first as the news is quite dire. " Max said. 

" WHAT DID YOU FIND? " Sebastian gritted his teeth and asked no ordered him to tell him what he found. 

Max knew not to get on the bad side of Sebastian, this man might not be as powerful as him and his Lord but he was the deadliest of all including Joshua. 

" I think my Lord's new power is death."

" Death? What are you saying? " 

" what I am trying to say is that my Lord's new power is Death Aura. It means that anyone who is in his range will die. Because he can manipulate death now at least to some degree. " 

" And as you and Mery have a healing factor you guys didn't feel that much of a toll on your bodies but little Darwin is just a boy whose powers were just recently manifested plus my Lord didn't augment his powers and neither was he given Elysium to protect him. He had endured the Full blast of death aura so He became like that." 

Sebastian's face lost all colors and he became pale. His knees gave up, his eyes stopped their movements. He was in shock. 

" Sebastian " Max hurriedly provided him with his support. 

Sebastian took a moment to notice what was happening.

" S...S..So yo...you mean that D..Da...Darwin is going to...going to die. " He asked in a very shaking voice. 

Sebastian couldn't believe what he was hearing. Because of his carelessness, Little Darwin was gonna die. What will Joshua do when he learns that he accidentally killed his little brother.

There were thousands of questions that were going through his head at the moment. 

" No, I don't think Darwin is gonna die; on the contrary might become more powerful, Sebastian. So take a hold of yourself. " Max said, still supporting him. 

" what do you mean? " Sebastian asked with hope. 

" Remember Darwin is not dead. While he should have been dead the moment he entered the field and his body should have rotten. But it doesn't happen. Instead, he turned ash grey. 

What do you think it means? " Max asked.

" That somehow he is still alive due to his powers. And his powers are making him adapt to death. " Sebastian said with shock in his happiness. 

" Yes, it is a blessing in disguise. "
