After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1985

Chapter 1985: Step by Step

Speaking of which, Garan actually had a few skills activated when he first went berserk.

Ice was technically a mutation of the water element. Water users could actually create ice and steam, but it would require massive amounts of energy and would generally not be worth the effort. Meanwhile, the ice users could create water with a flick of their fingers.

Who’d have thought there was another level of mutation?

They called it ’Absolute Zero.’

For a short period of time, he could stop molecular motion entirely. From the view of the person affected, it would feel like time had stopped. It could instantly nullify energy attacks. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He had only managed to use it once during the earlier battle, and it was also how he managed to stand against so many powerhouses for so long without completely losing himself.

Otherwise, he would’ve frozen more than just the mountain.

He hoped to practice this more, but was still determining where to start.

Anyway, the efforts for rebuilding continued, and she continuously repaired system buildings as soon as the resources were replenished enough to repair something.

Althea sent various instructions, and she let everyone else handle the details before heading back to the hospital.

Garan’s deputies also handled the aftermaths as well as the incarceration of the criminals. Mathilda pushed herself to work and handled the oath-taking process of the new slaves.

After a day, things were on track in Alterra. Everyone was injured, and nearly everything was damaged, but overall, they survived and would only get better.

As for Althea and Garan, they spent most of the day at their children’s bedsides. They were most sensitive to the changes in their energy, so they could switch the location of the pearl as necessary.

The fever was still there, and the temperature was still worrisome at 41 degrees Celsius, but it had already lowered by a few degrees compared to how it was originally.

"Their tests have come back normal," Sheila reported, bringing a pile of paper in her hands.

"Physically speaking, in human standards, there’s nothing wrong with them that could cause them to still be unconscious and have such a high fever."

Althea placed her fingers on their small hands, and they would grab it by instinct despite being unconscious. She sniffled and kissed their soft faces, praying for them to get better.

She touched the pearl. She could sense that aether was working nonstop. It was like it was modifying aether, absorbing part of it, but its durability suffered bit by bit.

Hopefully, it would last long enough to wait until they could figure things out.

It did not.

About a few days after the war, the anti-aether pearl dulled in color until—

Crack!

"What..."

"Doctor! Call the doctor!"

"The Golds and the Grandmasters! Please call them!"

The ward immediately burst with activity, various personnel moving to and fro, trying to calm down the children’s states again.
