Chapter 7205: Waking Up Again

"Ugh..."

Ves woke up in a daze.

His state of mind was quite weird at the moment.

On the one hand, he barely regained his consciousness. It was as if his mind was muffled by a thick blanket. His awareness was not quite online yet and he struggled to form any coherent thoughts.

On the other hand, Blinky and his other incarnations were in much better shape. They were not affected by the metaphorical blanket and maintained a relatively sober state of mind.

This duality confused his primary consciousness and caused him to experience reality at two different speeds.

"...P..."

He could feel himself groaning, but could not control his reaction. Though he did not know how much time had passed, he eventually managed to shrug off the thick blanket just enough to regain his awareness of the present.

"...Papa...?"

His bleary eyes gradually cleared up. He noticed that he was lying on a large bed in a pristine white medical facility.

He glanced at the surrounding deck and bulkhead and immediately recognized the surrounding architecture.

He could recognize the clear high-tech interior of the Tarrasque anywhere.

His concerns eased up. He had not fallen into the hands of unknown parties.

As Ves continued to regain his awareness, his body noticeably lagged behind compared to his mind.

"Papa...? Are you awake now?"

The delightful voice of one of his daughters peppered him up. He blinked a few times and finally registered one of the reasons why his body felt funny.

It was not only wrapped with bandages, but all three of his children cuddled against his side.

With Aurelia pressed on one side and her younger two siblings crowding on the other side, Ves immediately felt a burst of love from his chest as he observed his children.

"I... am awake..." He spoke with a hoarse throat. "Did... did we win...?"

His kids looked confused.

"Of course you did, papa." Andraste responded. "The Oscillating Fist would have killed you if you lost. I knew you would win, though! You never risk your life unless you were dead certain that you would survive somehow! Your fighting form was too awkward and sloppy though. The final phase lord got in way too many hits. He beat you up so bad that you needed to be put into a giant cultivation tank that healed your giant injuries for 4 days straight."

Ves tried his best to regain his memories of what happened at the time, but he only obtained bits and pieces.

Given the intensive treatment and his current state, he guessed that he still had many more days to go to return to full health.

Phase lords were troublesome in that aspect.

Their enormous bodies could withstand a lot of punishment, but it could easily take months if not years to recover from heavy and serious injuries!

There were many different treatment methods that could accelerate this process, but a phase lord ultimately had to rely on his natural regeneration to recover over time.

Ves felt incredibly worried at how long it took to regain his consciousness.

"How many days...?"

"5 days since the leadership challenge." Aurelia helpfully answered as she wrapped one of her slender arms around his belly. "Mother has grown increasingly more angry at you for sleeping for so long. She wanted to start the fabrication of the Riot Mark III, but she can’t because your work is essential. There are also multiple high-ranking people asking for updates on your condition. They urgently want to meet with you to discuss the rapid changes taking place."

Ves wearily smirked. He could imagine the panic and uncertainty that ensued after he fell into a coma right after he was supposed to take charge of the Phase Lord Department.

"I’ll get up and handle my affairs one by one in an hour." He said before briefly pausing. "If my condition allows for it. How bad are my injuries?"

"You looked really bad after the fight." Little Marvaine said with concern as the youngest child clung to one of Ves’ bandaged arms. "Lots of blood spilled from your mouth. The doctors said that you suffered a lot of damage to your internal organs."

Ves faintly nodded in understanding. "The Oscillating Fist is famous for that. He is a truly remarkable opponent for being able to master such an exquisite fighting technique. I believe this is one of the reasons why my head is still so fuzzy. I am under the influence of strong painkillers applied in such strong doses that they can actually affect the physique of a phase lord."

That was quite remarkable as phase lords became incredibly resistant to all manner of toxins and diseases. Ves was even more resistant than usual due to his unconventional biological transformations.

Though the painkillers prevented him from regaining his full mental acuity, he was not in a hurry to return to his full form.
