Regaining Self-Will
Chapter 1567 Regaining Self-Will
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of sandbags being hit repeatedly echoed throughout the training area.
The air-exploding sound of Goddard's punches and the friction sounds from his constantly shifting footwork added a unique character to the training session.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the sandbag that was shaking violently was blasted apart by Goddard's full-force attack.
Watching the flying dust, Goddard slowly adjusted his breathing and closed his eyes to regulate his rejuvenated body.
When he opened his eyes, a handkerchief appeared in front of him.
Goddard reached out and took it, then turned to look at his disciple.
"Thank you, Mr. Takano."
"No. How are you feeling? Hmm, are you experiencing any headaches?"
D-BOY looked at Goddard's eyes, which seemed to gleam with a faint golden light, and asked with concern.
No. I feel great!
Goddard grinned, then touched his chin, feeling the stubble that had hardened a bit.
"Perhaps I need a dagger."
“While I have no right to interfere with your hobby, Mr. Goddard, please consider the feelings of others. Shaving with a dagger is best done in private.”
A voice came from the doorway. Goddard and D-BOY turned around and looked over. Goddard immediately burst into laughter.
"General He, you've arrived."
"Hmm. Mr. Goddard, how are you feeling?"
He Ming led Elise into the training area, looked Goddard up and down, and asked.
Yesterday, Elise, controlling the tiny ELS individuals that split off, successfully devoured and assimilated the Radam parasite that controlled Goddard.
After a day of monitoring and observation, Goddard was given the opportunity to familiarize himself with his body and experience the rebirth that comes from breaking free from Radam's control.
"Hmm, very good. The voice in my head has disappeared. Moreover, after merging with this lady's descendant, my body seems to have become much stronger."
Goddard clenched his fist and pounded his chest a few times, producing several sounds that resembled the crack of metal.
“We simply devoured and assimilated the traces left by Radam when he modified your body. At the same time, we also laid a layer of liquid metal between the subcutaneous tissues in your body along these traces to prevent any unnecessary accidents when you unleash your Tekaman form after breaking free from Lambda’s control.”
Elise's eyes lit up with golden light, clearly indicating that she was communicating with the ELS individual within Goddard's body.
The result was very satisfactory.
Although Elise did not fully understand the principles and full scope of the bio-modification technology that Radam had used on Goddard, based on ELS's domineering talent, she easily reversed Radam's control through devouring and assimilation, allowing Goddard to regain his own will.
"Really? So, even in human form, I can withstand attacks from light weapons?"
Goddard smiled and then clapped his hands.
"So, does that mean young master Hoshino can also escape from Radam's control?"
Aiba Hoshino is the younger brother of Aiba Takano, also known as D-BOY, and is also one of Goddard's disciples.
Based on the results of the surgery performed on Goddard by Elise, the Tejaman controlled by Radam has a chance to regain human self-will.
"Hoshino?"
After Goddard regained his will, D-BOY heard a lot about his past deeds and his family from him.
Although he still couldn't remember anything from the past, he could easily imagine that without Heming's intervention, he, who was determined to destroy Radam's conspiracy, would inevitably have clashed with his own family. In that case, the inevitable outcome for him would have been the annihilation of killing all his family members with his own hands.
“Mr. Goddard, while the current situation is in line with our objectives, please maintain the status quo and continue to monitor the situation around the clock in order to deal with the possibility that Radam might activate a backup plan that remains in your body and has not yet been detected.”
As the golden light in Elise's eyes gradually faded, she gave another instruction.
"Understood! General, Miss Iris, I entrust the future to you! Thanks to your help, otherwise, young master Takano and we would probably have faced a life-or-death struggle." Goddard straightened his expression and respectfully bowed to He Ming and Iris.
"Please do not hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future! This is not only for young master Takano, but also for our own sake."
"Yes, I will. There will be many more battles waiting for us in the future."
He Ming nodded and then smiled.
"But what you need to do right now is to get your body back to normal as soon as possible, and then find a way to rescue your family and friends from Radam's conspiracy."
"Yes! General!"
Goddard stood at attention and saluted in response to the question.
D-BOY next to Goddard also saluted.
This scene brought a knowing smile to He Ming's face, and he returned the greeting with a serious expression.
Perhaps this was unintentional!
When He Ming found D-BOY, he never imagined such a scene would unfold.
Fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration and Elise was there; otherwise, he would not have been able to come up with a way to restore Goddard and the others who were controlled by Radam to their human selves.
After watching He Ming and Elise leave, Goddard slowly lowered his right hand, turned around and patted D-BOY on the shoulder.
"Young Master Takano, you are really lucky."
D-BOY paused for a moment, then nodded silently.
"Yes. Perhaps this is the price I pay for my amnesia."
Goddard burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"What are you talking about, Master Takano? What does this have to do with amnesia?"
After saying that, Goddard's eyes lit up, and he pulled D-BOY directly toward the boxing ring not far away.
"Come here, young master Takano. Let me see if you've made any progress lately!"
Elise followed closely behind He Ming, blinking occasionally as she looked at the figure ahead. After a moment's thought, she quickened her pace to catch up with He Ming.
"Father, you seem very happy?"
"um, yes."
He Ming reached out and touched Iris's little head. It was cold but had a kind of softness that made people feel comfortable.
"Is it because Mr. Goddard regained his will?"
Elise asked.
"Yes, that's part of the reason."
He Ming smiled slightly and said casually.
"But more than anything, it changed D-BOY, and, well, it changed the future fate of Aiba Takano."
"What's the future fate?"
Elise thought for a moment and immediately understood.
"So, next, we need to capture all the remaining Tekaman and then help them regain their human will. That's our next goal, isn't it?"
He Ming looked at Elise with some surprise, then nodded.
“That’s right. Elise, this is also part of our next mission. To capture more Tekaman and then restore their human will.”
