READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 58 Keith Sold His Body
"Should I use the First Order skill or not? If I did, I will lose my only trump card. Not to mention, the dimensional gate will open a few hours from now. If I don't have such a hole card at my disposal, Earth will be doomed due to those foreign forces."
"But if I don't use it, the internal conflict between the cultivators and the awakened humans will pose a much more dangerous threat."
Pacing back and forth in his room, Keith was in deep thought as he muttered to himself like a madman. He was currently weighing his options but it left him helpless since he was currently stuck between a rock and a hard place.
In other words, his only option was to choose the lesser evil between the two evils.
"Currently, the SSS-Class hunters on planet earth can't defeat those cultivators. If I didn't have the First Order skill, those cultivators might have already easily taken over the entire world and usurped my throne."
"If only those cultivators were obedient, we could have a higher chance of defeating Arcadia. After all, those cultivators are humans so having an alliance between them would be beneficial."
"Sigh, their so-called cultivation of immortality had poisoned their mind with arrogance."
"It seems I am left with no choice but to clean up the trash before it spreads a disease."
After making up his mind, Keith created six pairs of cloth wings on his back using his Indestructible Versatile Clothes.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ But, Keith didn't fly and head towards China since he found that it was unrealistic with his current power to arrive there in just an hour. Instead, he stayed in his room and did quick math.
"The distance between China and America is at least ten kilometers. Since the dimensional gate will open at least three hours from now, I can only afford an hour's worth of travel."
"If I board my private plane, it will take at least two hours at full speed. Although the AK-1 McDowell can fly at the speed of Mach 4, it still takes too long."
"And with my current power, I can only reach the speed of Mach 1 assuming I am flying in a straight line. So using my plane as well as my cloth wings are out of the equation."
Keith was disappointed in himself that he didn't urge his subordinates to create the AK-2 McDowell that could fly at Mach 5. Although a prototype was already created, it still wasn't suitable for human use.
"I can use the First Order skill to instantly appear in China but that would waste the skill duration of my First Order skill."
"The only method left is to use space magic. And since I am not that proficient in space magic yet as I can only use elemental magic with my mana manipulation, it seems I can only use that method."
When Keith thought about that, he felt helpless for the second time in his life.
Even after obtaining a system as well as awakening his mana and skills, he didn't become omnipotent. Even those cultivators could threaten his life since his First Order skill had its limits.
Because of that, he will never allow a hostile force that could threaten his life to exist in the same world as him.
With that in mind, Keith went out of his room as he planned to deal with the cultivators in China.

"Sherry, my darling~! Your boyfriend needs your help~!"
Keith pleaded to Sherry in an overly dramatic tone.
Sherry, who was currently witnessing her boyfriend's childishness, could only rub her forehead. Keith had already told her about the cultivators as well as the Chinese president being held hostage by those cultivators.
And since Keith had already revealed his identity as the emperor of humanity before, she knew that she couldn't sit still and do nothing especially when she had knowledge of the future.
'Those cultivators had run rampant in the previous timeline. Since Keith as well as the heroes weren't on planet earth in the previous timeline, the leader of those cultivators had almost taken over the entire world. If not for the End Note users, those cultivators would have become the overlord of humanity.'
'Even without Keith's insistence, I will still find a way to write the names of all those cultivators after I upgraded my End Note to the second stage. After all, those cultivators had threatened the freedom of the human race in the previous timeline.'
With those thoughts in mind, Sherry nodded at Keith and agreed to help him.
"So, what do you want me to help you with?"
"With my current power, I can't defeat the leader of those cultivators. As you have said, their leader is at XXX-rank but my space manipulation is only at X-rank. Even I am powerless in that regard."
Hearing Sherry's words, Keith wasn't shocked that his girlfriend was more powerful than him since his Eyes of Heaven had already seen through her true power.
For comparison, Keith was only at SSS-rank with his Mana Manipulation while Sherry was at X-rank in her Space Manipulation. The gap between those two ranks was too high especially when Sherry's element was a high-grade one.
If not for the existence of Keith's First Order skill, Sherry might have already been at the top of their relationship.
"You don't need to fight. I can deal with the leader of those cultivators including those cannon fodders. But, you need to help me teleport to China since I am not that proficient in the usage of space magic."
Keith replied to Sherry's question which immediately received her response.
"I agree. But what will you offer to me in return?"
"What do you want? I am the richest and most influential man on Earth. I can give you almost anything you desire."
Even after receiving Keith's reassurance, Sherry wasn't moved since she didn't care much about material possessions such as jewelry, cars, etc.
"I remember that you kept on avoiding me whenever I attacked you at night. It made me doubt your masculinity."
"In other words, I want your body!"
As if Keith expected Sherry's words since he knew that she was thirsty and horny, he immediately responded.
"Deal!"
And with that, Keith sold his body to receive Sherry's assistance.
