Tap Tycoon System! - Chapter 120

After a while, Nathan saw that it was already pretty late and decided to go home.

“Old Sebas, I will be going first since I can’t leave my sister alone at home by herself for long since it’s already night.” He said as he stood up.

Old Sebas followed, standing up as well.

“Oh, that’s right. I apologize for taking your time.” He said apologetically,

He accompanied Nathan on walking back to where he parked until he got inside his car.

When Nathan got into the car, he looked at Old Sebas and said, “Thank you again for the mountain that you gave me.”

To which Old Sebas only shook his head, waving his hand, “No, compared to what you did for me, that mountain can’t even express 1 percent of my gratitude towards you.”

Hearing that, Nathan just smiled.

After a few more trivial talks, Nathan finally left Old Sebas house riding his car.

Watching Nathan disappear from sight, Old Sebas’ still look face was still full of gratitude.

“Thank you, Nathan…” he muttered.

….

A couple of minutes later, Nathan was back at the villa.

When he opened the door, he immediately saw Natalie there, sitting on the doorway.

Surprised, Nathan asked her, “Tal, what are you doing there?”

Natalie pouted and looked tearful, “I was waiting for you, brother, since I was going to ask you to let out Issa from your dimensional space because I was feeling lonely.”

“Ah! I’m sorry, Tal. An emergency came up so I went out without telling you.” Nathan said, feeling guilty.

He waved his hand and Issa appeared in front of Natalie.

“Issa!” She exclaimed happily.

Issa also saw Natalie and it seems like it also missed her as it immediately jumped into her embrace as soon as their eyes saw each other.

Nathan watched them like that for a while before he told them to stop sitting on the doorway and go back to their room.

After that small episode, Nathan also went back to his room after taking a short shower to remove all the dirt that might have stuck on him while he was outside.

Inside his room, Nathan entered the dimensional space to properly dispose of the body that he piled up there earlier.

A voice immediately sounded in his head as he felt the grass on the ground touch his feet.

{Child, it seems like in the short amount of time I was asleep, some things happened, huh.}

There is only one being who speaks like that inside the space.

“You’re awake now?”

Nathan turned his gaze at the Miracle Tree just nearby.

He did not pay much attention to it and got close to the bloody body parts laid on the grasses.

As he did, he said, “These people are cultists. They worship a Demon or something.”

{Worshippers of a Demon?} The Miracle Tree sounded a little surprised, then its tone became solemn, {So demons have already started to invade the Earth again, huh.}

Nathan paused what he was doing after hearing the Miracle Tree’s words.

“Again? You mean to say that Earth has been invaded by demons before?” he curiously asked.

{Yes, a long time ago, the demons tried to invade Earth by enticing the people of the Naeco Civilization back then with strength.}

{But at that time, they failed because the humans already have me as their source of strength.}

{Since the population before is not quite as big as right now, I was able to support everyone without a problem and keep watch whenever the demons tried to enter Earth.}

Nathan listened silently to the Miracle Tree.

After a slight pause, the tree sighed, {Unfortunately, I was reduced to a seed for a long time and with the passage of time that I was not able to protect Earth, it seems like they were already able to succeed.}

Nathan fell into contemplation, then he said, “Since you’re not a seed anymore now, can you go and protect Earth again?”

The Miracle Tree sounded sad as it answered, {Unfortunately, no. Because as of now the power that I have is just a small portion of what I have before. Meaning, I am still not able to do the things I was capable of from before.}

Nathan nodded, understanding its situation.

They stopped talking after that and Nathan decided to continue cleaning up the dead bodies.

As Nathan was thinking of dumping all the bodies into the lake again, the Miracle Tree sounded on him again.

{Do you want to make use of that or are you just going to throw it away?} It asked with a curious tone.

Confused, Nathan thought about what can be used for dead human bodies aside from being fertilizer, fish feeds, etc. that he doesn’t really want to do.

Finding no answer to it, he decided to ask the Miracle Tree.

“Is there any use for these bodies?”

{Of course! You can just give all those bodies to me by pouring it down on my hole which I will then process and turn into something useful for you!}

Nathan was surprised when he heard that.

With a weird look on his face, he said, “Eh? You ‘eat’ human bodies?”

In his words, the Miracle Tree was stunned, after it recovered, it denied his thoughts.

{No, no, I consider humans as my family so that is just not possible and that hole is also not a mouth so I don’t ‘eat’. To begin with, it is not the bodies that will turn into a fruit like what these people had before they died.}

{Such as skill, memory, soul talent, etc. Which can be condensed into a fruit but the final product would be something randomly equal to what you gave me.}

Enlightened by the Miracle Tree’s explanation, Nathan nodded unhurriedly.

“Ooh, so that’s how it works.”

His lips started curving into a smile and he said, “If that’s the case, hope you don’t mind if I dump these bodies on you.”

With the tree’s approval, Nathan threw the bodies into the hole on the Miracle Tree.
