System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1103 Anna\'s Reaction

"No. That\'s not the problem." Anna shook her head and pointed at Noel with a grunted expression. "The problem is… does this mean I\'m going to lose to you?"

"Lose? What lose?" Noel tilted his head in confusion.

"I\'m talking about losing against you in terms of who will pass away first! Even if I manage to become a Spirit Transcendence or Spirit King, I won\'t be able to outlive you. This means that you already have one guaranteed win! This is going to affect the overall score in our competition!" Anna gritted her teeth.

"That?" Noel dropped his jaw in disbelief. "Out of everything, that was your problem?"

Noel knew that they were competing in every little thing. It was just for their enjoyment as well as to satisfy their competitiveness, but the rest was actually much more important than that single thing.

"Are you serious? There are a lot of problems, you know."

"I know it\'s going to be hard for you to live for a long time. Do you actually feel alive when you know that you won\'t die, even after living for a couple of centuries? But if you think about it, don\'t you think there is one more possibility?" Anna raised a finger.

"One more possibility?" Noel frowned.

"Yeah. I\'m talking about my current body."

"Your current body…" Noel felt like he got a bit of understanding what she was talking about.

Nevertheless, Anna explained her insight. "I\'m talking about me and the original Anna. Since this soul theory is true and we can get Andreas\'s help for my soul, doesn\'t that mean I can transfer my soul to a new body?

"Obviously, it\'s going to be a body that can\'t age. This way, I can follow you for a few centuries. Besides, the fact that your body\'s function remains the same means that there won\'t be another child in our journey. This will make your sexual desire be satisfied as well so that you won\'t think about cheating on me.

"We can just make it look like we have passed away due to old age and go on a journey to look at every corner of the world.

"We can still watch over our descendants as well. While it\'s true that not having Ardagan will be a problem, we just have to develop the Ardagan family to be strong enough so that Ardagan won\'t be necessary anymore… especially regarding the rune.

"Thus, I don\'t really care about other things to be honest. Living for a few hundred years, or even a thousand years… it will be hard for us alone. However, it will be different if we\'re always together."

Noel scratched the back of his head. "Well, what you said is correct, but…"

"What? You must worry that transferring my soul will bother me? Look at the Original Anna and you\'ll understand that I have no problem. Besides, I have reincarnated once… People say the first step is the hardest. I have done it once, so it\'s easy to do it the second time." Anna shrugged.

"I think you mean, \'He, who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it the second and third time,\' but I understand what you\'re saying…" Noel sighed.

"Noel…" Anna\'s expression turned solemn. "I know that you have no memory of it, but even in our previous lives, you have sacrificed a lot for me. No, even in this life, you keep thinking about me. I\'m sick to see only you who keep sacrificing yourself for me. Please allow me to share this burden. I\'ve told you, right? I want to walk beside you, not behind you. As you protect me, I\'ll also protect you. That\'s why in this life, I\'m not going to let you suffer alone."

Noel\'s body shook. After listening to her words and seeing her solemn face, Noel\'s heart moved. "I apologize… it seems I\'ve been rude."

Anna smiled and hugged him. "Well, we can push that matter aside, so this is what you mean by a new ability that the Spirit God personally gives to me…" Anna touched her forehead.

"You switch the matter so easily…" Noel gave a wry smile. "But yeah."

"From the information that is transmitted directly into my head, the technique\'s name is Thunder God\'s Possession, Heaven Wrath. It\'s similar to my Lightning Transformation, but this technique has several stages. No, should I say that this is actually an upgraded version of my Lightning Transformation, especially with the fact that I can combine it with my True Spirit Body?"

"That powerful?"

"Yeah. With this, I think I\'ll be able to keep up with you."

"Oh." Noel nodded.

"And there seem to be a lot of interesting things outside our own land. Diva, was it?"

"Yeah. I don\'t know who this Diva is, but it seems that this person will be important for that expedition."

"The sea expedition… In that case, we might have to talk with the Zaecuria Kingdom regarding this expedition."

"Yeah. We might have to reveal the fact that we\'re Spirit Transcendence to make him believe."

"With two Spirit Transcendence Experts, there\'s no way they will reject it." Anna nodded with a serious expression. "The problem will be the timing and the negotiation."

"Yep. Well, we still have to meet the Diva first before we can think of a plan. Even if it\'s urgent, it will happen only a year later at the very least. We also have to continue making our plans to counter the demon king."

"Indeed. While we can reach Spirit Transcendence right now, we still have to make sure that the territory can go on without us for a while. I don\'t think the trip to the beast kingdom will be that short…"

"Yeah. That\'s why I have to focus on the planning after all of this is over. I might end up having to bury myself in the mountain of paperwork." Noel sighed. "And because of that, I have a request."

"A request?"

"Yeah. If possible, I\'d like to challenge the Ancient Demon Spider by myself."

"Ah!" Anna nodded in understanding. As the Lord, Noel would definitely be stuck in his office for a while. During that time, Anna was much more free to move around. She muttered, "So I will stop the rest of the demons…"

"Yeah. Do you think it\'s possible?"

"As a Spirit Transcendence, of course it\'s possible. It might even be easier than I imagined." Anna nodded. "But that means I will fight the next Ancient Demon by myself while you are protecting me from the rest of the demons."

"Of course." Noel nodded furiously.

"That\'s good then. Besides, the Ancient Demon Spider has a big body. We will be able to get a lot of materials because of it." Anna smirked. "I guess this is also the reason why you want to fight the demon…"

"That\'s true…" Noel couldn\'t deny it. An Ancient Demon was so rare that people might never see it in their lifetime. However, just like other demons, their bodies were precious materials, especially with a body that big.

This Ancient Demon Spider had a very durable body that could even stop Anna\'s strongest attack before understanding the transcendent path. It would definitely make Roel excited to work on this material.

This spider would provide much more materials than the Ancient Demon Tree they killed back then.

He could even use these materials to provide armors, weapons, and even rune technologies that could alter the course of the war.

That was why he wanted to defeat the spider by himself. His ice element would be perfect for the work.

"This is going to be exciting. The spider\'s tough skin, the demon crystal, and even the blood filling its body… The Ancient Demon Spider\'s worth is immeasurable." Anna smiled.

"Yeah."

"Then we have to make sure that Dimitri knows about this since he will be the one transporting its body. It might take months to get all those materials…"

"I have told him. I even make sure that he can keep it a secret. It\'s going to be troublesome if others are eyeing the spider\'s corpse. And they will be suspicious of us, the two people capable of defeating such a demon."

"Fair enough." Anna nodded with a serious expression. "As expected of you…"

"For now, let\'s move around and recover our bodies."

"Sure!"
