Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 172: 172: New Ability



Just like that, ten seconds later, the dazzling golden light disappeared, which prompted the Scouts to stop covering their face. As they turned their gaze to the previous gigantic hole in the walls. Gasps sound one after another. Because... In the previous sphere-shaped hole, a giant golden boulder was stuck on it and filled the gap.

"Fuck!? Don't tell me the small rock team leader threw was actually that fucking big boulder now!!? So that small golden rock was actually a magical artifact?" A man with brown hair, and freckled cheeks exclaimed in amazement.

Then another scout had his eyes twinkling. "T-this m-mean that the operation is success? Would we get our fifty thousand contribution points with this? HAHAHA! My recipe for tier 8 is already secured with this!"

"HAHAHAHA! That's right! Not only that. The people would and the upper echelons would surely shower us with praise for this achievement. Although there were a lot of casualties. This operation is still considered a success since we literally reclaimed a whole territory!"

"Yup, not say. The area of the Wall of Rose is bigger than the Wall of Hope by hundreds or so times. We're literally considered heroes! This is a milestone for humanity. We fucking made a history!!"

"Of course, we wouldn't have managed to do this without Captain and our team leader Johan's lead, ya know."

A smile appeared on Caleb's face as he heard the conversations of the surrounding scouts. This is really a big achievement for humanity! However now, there are only 2 teams that survived. For the city, the deaths of the Scouts weren't in vain. The family of the deceased would surely get a huge sum, and the deceased would receive honor in their graves.

"With this, our operation is a success?" he looked at Roger and asked.

Roger nodded with a wide smile and his lips upturned. He walked beside the giant golden boulder and traced its surface with his index finger in a good mood. "Yes, this concludes our operation. This golden boulder has a magical effect to perfectly imitate the durability of the matter it is attached to. Since it's now connected to the Wall of Rose itself, its durability will be the same as the wall itself."

Hearing this, Caleb couldn't help but question. "Then how tough is the wall? Wouldn't it get breached again?"

"Don't worry." Roger let out a hearty laugh. "At least tier 6-5 Apokalips had what it takes to breach the wall. It was worth mentioning that those powerful Apokalips rarely venture to our wall. Most of them are outside the border of the first wall."

Just like that, a month breezed by and the Scout finally returned in front of the Wall of Hope. On their return, they just used the same routes that they took so they didn't encounter many Apokalips.

The three teams and veterans that survived pushed carts into their hands to an open space with complicated eyes. On top of the carts were the corpses of the ones who perished in their operation. Familiar faces that had been with them and some young teenagers that should have had bright futures. Lest they were strewn on top of the cart covered with white cloth lifeless.

"Say, how do you think their families would react?" Kidd sighed with a hint of remorse in his tone.

Clifford snorted at this and said:

"Is that even a question?"

Suddenly, Gojo, who was assigned to team two chuckled. "Does that even matter? They died for the sake of the city. In the eyes of the people, they are heroes. This operation is a success partly due to their contribution. There's no need to think too much, right?"

"Well, that may be the case, but still..." One of the scouts two sighed bitterly.

Rekka cleared his throat. "Death is inevitable. All of us will die. Theirs just came earlier than ours. Does it really matter who would die earlier or later since death is still the final destination?"

What a way to contribute to the already gloomy mood! That's Rekka for you!

Caleb chuckled. "That's why it's more important to treat life as a journey, not a destination."

"Team Leader is right! One should enjoy the process and not worry too much about everything! Go with the flow!"

Fuck! That's not what I meant! Caleb cursed inwardly.

"Right? Team Leader is really wise. That's why Captain Roger trusts him because of his foresight and ability to see the big picture!"

Due to Caleb's performance and noteworthy feats, along with his strength... Most of the remaining survivors and even the veterans acknowledged Caleb's leadership and were in awe of his capabilities. The fact that he was still 18 years old made it even more amazing for them.

Yes, Caleb had already turned 18 years old last year. Successfully on the verge of escaping the vicious cycle. As long as he turns 19 years old, the curse that was targeting him might be broken at that time! A thing that is worth to rejoice!

As Caleb thought of this, a small smile emerged from his face. He was in a good mood. With the successful operation, it is estimated that he would receive more contribution points higher than the basic amount listed, which was 50,000 points.

Not to mention...

Yes, he had already successfully completed his ascension to Grade 3 Taboo Fighter! He couldn't forget how painful the process was, though. It literally changed him to the cellular level. He felt his bones and muscles turned cinders and reformed. It repeated hundreds of times before it stopped. It was the most painful shit he experienced that even overshadowed the pain of his accident in the car on his first death.

As for the ability he got. It was hardening ... Simple but terrible ability.
