Chapter 1995 Easy Peazy! 'I am royally fucked, aren't I?' Nux cried. Yes, he literally cried. Because one side of his body had aged and the other had regressed, right now, he was a strange combination of a child and an old man, and in both cases, he had next to no control over his body. His mind, that had sensed the threat, started working, his heart started beating faster, and his eyes… They teared up. Soon, however, he noticed something. The speed of his death had… slowed down. While the left side of his body was getting younger and younger, the right side… it had slowed down a little. It was still getting older, just at a comparatively slower pace. He frowned. Unable to understand why this was happening. 'Is getting older more difficult than getting younger?' He wondered. Soon, however, he threw that idea out of his head. It was something else, something he hadn't noticed till now. He looked around and realized something. As he had fallen on the ground, no water had gone behind him. The sand behind him was dry. Almost as if… His body was absorbing the water. Right now, Nux was on his knees, his body was tilted since his body was strongly disproportionate, so he was also forced to use his elbows to support himself. He looked down at the water beneath him and finally realized it. It was not an as if situation, his body was absorbing the water. As his right, grown arm was on the ground, it had started absorbing some of the water, similar to how his legs had been absorbing the water all this while. And since his right arm was absorbing the water, his right leg didn't get much water to absorb. Now, instead of his right leg, the right water was being absorbed by his right elbow and forearm. His right arm, however, wasn't just absorbing the right water; his palm, which had supported itself in front of his left arm and leg, was absorbing some of the left water. Nux's mind worked, and he came up with a theory. If the right water was making him older and the left water was making him younger, then the right part of his body, which was absorbing some of both left and right water, must have slowed down the aging process. It wasn't just that—the left part of his body, which was now receiving less left water, must have slowed down as well, just not as significantly as the right part. And this was exactly what was happening with Nux. 'This might work.' Suddenly, another idea popped into Nux's head as he nodded. If he didn't do anything, he would die, and since there was no time to test his theory, he decided to act on whatever he had. The control he had over the left side of his body was extremely limited, and while moving his right side was still difficult, he could move it. And that is what he did. He moved the right part of his body towards the left water as he rotated his body. It was difficult, his muscles had next to no power, he was pretty much dragging his body, and his movement was extremely slow. "Haaah… Haaahh… Haaahh…" Within a few seconds, he was already out of breath. Yes, that was how old his body had gotten. However, not everything was in vain. As more and more of his right body got to the left water, the amount of right and left water in the right side of his body became equal. His right body wasn't aging anymore. It was working. Just that… Since his left body was comparatively smaller, the amount of right water it could absorb was limited, and most of the water it was absorbing was left. Yes, his right side was still regressing. He was already at the level of a newborn and didn't have quite a lot of time left. "Haaaahh!!" So Nux decided to force himself and gave his body one last push. Crack And his bone cracked. "Gaah!! Fuck!" He cursed as he fell down, his right arm trembling in pain. Yes, his body was no longer strong enough to endure all the agonizing pain like he was trained to— even a little bone crack was more than enough to make him whimper. The good part, however, was that he succeeded. The right part of his body was now absorbing left water, and the left part of the body was absorbing the right water. His aging had reversed. His left body was now aging, and the right one started regressing. What's even better was that even his wound had regressed and returned to normal. "Haaaaahh… haahh… haaaahh…" He took deep breaths of relief as he lay on the ground, letting his body return to its normal state. No. That wasn't the place. As his left body grew and reached the level of a 10-year-old child, he finally moved. His right body was not as old as before, so he had somewhat gotten his control back. The aim was now to continue crossing the river. And while he was currently facing the opposite direction, it didn't matter. Nux started crawling backwards. His body continued to become more and more proportionate as both sides of his body got better and better. His speed also increased as the river was now 20 cm deep. Nux continued to move. Soon, he was forced to swim as the water became deeper and deeper. A few more seconds later, his body had returned to normal. A feeling he relished quite a lot. He finally realized what a blessing a normal body was. This feeling, however, didn't last for long. The situation had reversed, his left body had now started aging while the right had started regressing. Not that he was surprised—Nux had expected this. Rather, he was prepared for this. He continued to swim backwards as fast as he could, allowing his body to age differently. Then, the moment the right part of his body reached around the size of a 15-year-old, he turned around and reversed the flow again. Yes, he finally found the way out. 'Hmph! Easy Peazy!' He grinned. He grinned
