Chapter 683: The First Mission
Edward was about to look around when he suddenly felt dizzy. He anchored himself before closing his eyes. The synchronization was completed. The real Edward opened his eyes and noticed his surroundings.
'This body is so weak,' Edward thought. He had never felt so weak in his life, even when he was a child. 'Years of alcohol and drinking have drained it of its potential.' Edward frowned, realizing this was not good news for him. God Space's missions are challenging, especially for normal humans.
'I could use a breathing technique to control my life energy and strengthen my body to peak human level at the cost of a few years of life span, but this is my first mission, and the chances of the Purple Robe Daoist observing are high.'
The identity Edward chose as a supreme genius was what got him an invitation, but it will also garner surveillance. 'I need to play it safe for this mission.' Edward decided not to do anything abnormal. Instead, he looked at the people on the ground surrounded by a white shield. He realized everybody had this black watch on their wrist and checked his own.
As expected, he also had a watch on his left hand. He checked, but nothing occurred. So, he took this opportunity to check his own watch, which was connected to Morgana. However, the screen only contained the words disconnected in bold red.
'I need to boot Morgana back,' Edward thought before continuing to look around. He then noticed a wall of weapons behind Booth, which included guns, knives, swords, and Kevlar vests. Numerous thoughts flashed in Edward's mind, but he remained calm and composed, waiting until everybody woke up, which took more than five minutes.
"Good, you're all awake," Booth said.
"What's going on?" asked a woman in a lab coat.
"Yes. Where are we?" asked a muscular man who was close to seven feet tall. The last person was a middle-aged man in a suit, but he remained quiet.
"Didn't you accept the invitation to the Samsara Hall? Unless you were on the verge of death and still disoriented, you should know what you signed up for," Booth said calmly.
"I just received an email about a way to cure my daughter's illness," the woman said. "Are you going to help me?"
"And I was promised strength beyond human limits," the muscular man said. Edward and the businessman were the only quiet ones.
