Following an uncertain duration of unconsciousness, Konrad's limbs trembled, with his quivering eyelids announcing his awakening. In slow motion, his eyes opened, and at first, a blurred world awaited him. But as he lifted himself from his bed, clear sight gradually replaced the blurry vision.

　　Else's sitting form was the first his eyes fell upon. Clearly, she'd been there for some time, watching over him as he slumbered. Meanwhile, Astarte and Zamira stood several steps away from the bed, observing him from a distance.

　　Konrad said nothing, raising his pale-looking hand to access his own body. And unsurprisingly, no cultivation or battle-power remained within. The only things he could now rely on where his system gained abilities and the Blossoming Death Art.

　　But neither of those were offensive in nature. At least, not in their current state. The current him simply didn't have the strength to truss a chicken.

　　From a G.o.d-level existence all the way down to a feeble mortal. This was indeed a meteoric descent. But of course, although his strength was now not worth mentioning, thanks to his vast death essence, his incomparably formidable resilience remained.

　　At least, he wasn't entirely without defense.

　　"How long have I been out?"

　　Konrad asked Selene within the system.

　　"Eight days. And before you ask, I have no way to remove the leaves. That is a True G.o.d level ability, the current system is simply not equipped for that. Sorry."

　　She replied in an apologetic tone, causing Konrad's lips curled into a smile.

　　"It's fine. It's perfectly fine. Who is to say that this is not an opportunity?"

　　Konrad chortled before s.h.i.+fting his attention back onto Else. Hers had never left him, and within, worry clearly shone. But how could it not? To any cultivator, the loss of strength was an insufferable blow. Else firmly believed that Konrad wouldn't think twice before asking one of his Paramount Knights to execute him so that he could be reborn, free of this affliction.

　　However, as he shook his head in disapproval, she realized he had no intention to.

　　"The situation is not as terrible as you think. This might just be a blessing in disguise. For too long, I've reveled in my superior cultivation foundation, bloodline, and physiques. There are many profound mysteries I do not grasp, mysteries I can now pursue as a mortal."

　　Konrad began while lowering his right hand onto Else's. And sweeping the three consorts with a calm gaze.

　　"Moreover, I still have my legion and Hidden Moon Pavilion. This is merely a temporary setback. Right now, we must hasten the legion's training, and bring the remaining five-thousand peak Restoration Beasts to the Infernal Knight Rank.

　　At the same time, invest more resources in the training of the weaker Infernal Knights.
