Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1020  Be With Them

Everyone's eyes lingered on Mike even after he arrived at the wooden manor. Everyone could tell that Mike was, in fact, Michael, but something felt odd. It was almost like Michael had been replaced. That felt…weird.

Mike slowed down and smiled at some Super Awakened, a bunch of Untamed Awakened, Siegfried Dragoon, Tiara, and also Alice and Lucia.

Nobody said anything for a few seconds, only for the tiniest one to shatter the tension. Lucia squeezed out of her mother's embrace and landed softly on the ground. She broke into a bright smile charged at Mike.

She jumped into his arms, nearly breaking his ribs, but the pure energy circulating through him protected his body.

"Daddy!!" Lucia squealed, pressing her head against his chest, "Where did you leave your friends?"

Mike tilted his head but realized what his daughter was talking about a moment later, "Are you talking about the God Curses? I left them in my main body."

He realized his mistake as the words escaped his lips and cursed himself quietly.

'Why the hell would I speak like that to Lucia? How is she supposed to understand what I mean when I say 'main body'?!'

Mike cursed himself a little more while Lucia looked up to stare deep into his eyes.

"So this is your spare body? Did you miss us so much you've created another body to stay with us? That's so cool! I love you, Dad~!" Mike's lips parted but they sealed shut quickly before anymore stupid comments escaped from his mouth. Still, he embraced Lucia tightly, happy she didn't think of him as weird. It was a bit confusing how Lucia understood his actions right away, but Mike was glad his daughter was smart. If not for that, he would have had to spend hours talking to his daughter to make her understand what he had done.

Alice and the others approached Mike, the confusion in Alice growing.

"Can you explain to us what exactly happened?" Alice asked slowly, the hesitation in her voice overwhelming. I would love to understand what is going on because I'm certain you are still alive. In fact, Lucia told us the Untamed Jungle has never been better. You did something to the Untamed Jungle to accelerate its growth, didn't you?"

Mike was ready to reveal everything but looked around and pointed toward the Wooden Manor.

"Let us talk inside. This might take a while," Michael said, walking inside with his daughter in his arms. The others followed. They reached the office soon, where Mike dropped the bomb.

"It all starts with the fight against a God…"

…

Mike didn't explain everything in detail, but his story didn't want to end. He told his friends and family about his fight with the Volcano God, the destruction of a planetary system, the arrival of the Primal, how he barely survived, and the reinforcement through more than one hundred Gods. His story lasted a little longer, but the summary was simple.

"The Gods cannot easily kill the Primal and cannot move against them either. The Primal move quickly against the Rebels when they reveal themselves and even Beelzebub, one of the Gods of the Seven Hells lost his main body in the fight against one of the weakened Primals. Is that correct?" Hiraku asked to reaffirm, which Mike did with a nod.

"And they want you to fight those Primal to regain their freedom. The God Curses within you are helping you with their Divinities, whereas the Primordial Curse and the Everlasting Blessing, which is also the place you brought Daniel's Living Soul to, want to help you with the Untamed Jungle." Tiara pointed at Danny, who listened silently while intently studying Mike's body.

"The Primordial Curse helps the God Curses to empower them with curse power which the God Curses absorb to use their Divinities through my main body for the next few decades. Loki said it would take two decades before my Divinities are roughly ready to fight the Primal, but I am not in a rush. Whether it takes two decades or two hundred years doesn't change much for me. However, for the Gods, the Supreme Human Alliance, the Altors Union, the Nest, and many more, it would change a lot." Michael responded.

"The Everlasting Blessing is the Spring of Abundant Life. Bestikal, the Primordial Curse, wants his lover to reunite with the Origin Expanse. Thus, my main body is channeling the Spring of Abundant Life through the Nature Divinity into the Untamed Jungle. That will help me evolve the Divinity Fragment into a full-fledged Divinity, while the Untamed Jungle can advance to an Ancient Region and maybe even a Primal Region. That takes time, but I should be able to spare enough time to expand the Untamed Jungle."

"Okay…but how is all of that related to this body?" Alice finally asked, pointing at Mike and his new body.

Everyone listened intently. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I didn't plan to create a secondary body, but when I heard I wouldn't be able to return to the Origin Expanse for decades, I decided to do it. Rather than missing you and our daughter's growth and being an absent father like my parents had been absent in my life, I'd rather create a secondary body to control just like my main body."

"Are you still the same, or is there a difference between you and Michael?" Alice asked sharply, conflicted what to think.

Fortunately, Lucia rescued her father.

"This is my Dad! They have the same presence! His pets are missing, but he is the same!!"

Alice's features softened, and she nodded. "You're right. His presence is the same. All that is missing is his power and the wildness of his aura. The God Curses must have altered Michael's presence with their Essences." She looked at Mike and smiled faintly. Mike approached his beloved and embraced her tightly. Alice was still a bit stiff, but she returned the embrace. Mike caressed her cheeks gently and smiled even brighter than before.

"Can I?" He asked mischiviously, "If you do not wish to kiss my secondary body, that's fine. I didn't took into consideration what you or others may think when I come here with a Doppelganger."

Alice scoffed and squeezed his cheeks.

"You are definitely Michael. I don't know many with the power of Gods who would act drastically like you did without taking a second to reconsider your options. A warning would have been great, but I am glad you decided to be with me and your daughter like this rather than disappearing from our lives for tens of years. I think that would have crushed me and Lucia…" She swallowed hard but smiled at Michael.

"You are everything and much more than I could have hoped when I chose you. I'm glad you are the father of my child," Alice said, planting an intense kiss on his lips.

Lucia exclaimed in excitement and shouted.

"You are the best, Dad! Mom loves you very much! She missed you a lot."

Alice separated from Michael and glared at Lucia, who buried her head in her father's chest again.

Mike just laughed.

"I think it was a good decision to come here like this. I wouldn't want to miss another day with my family." He said.

"Now, I can stay with my family in the Origin Expanse while working my ass off to defeat those Primal!"
