Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals-Chapter 372: Atlan’s power
’Mothers?’
Tulip felt like she was dreaming or perhaps passed over into the next life.
She thought she would never see her mothers again in this lifetime. She thought she was the reason they died.
Her emotions bubbled up to the surface as tears streamed down her cheeks.
The three good fairies couldn’t help themselves as well and wiped the tears off their faces. Then, they floated towards Tulip and rubbed her tears, just like what they did back when Tulip was a child.
They all cuddled in this monumental moment.
’Uwaaa!’
’Calm now, dear. This is not the time for tears,’ said the blue fairy.
’That’s right. That’s right. We have more important things to do right now,’ said the green fairy.
’We have to help your friend,’ said the red fairy.
Tulip sniffed and rubbed her eyes. ’Friend?’
She was so distraught about everything that happened that she didn’t notice the appearance of a certain human.
The red fairy had to turn Tulip’s head for her to finally notice that Atlan was facing the dragon all by himself.
’Atlan?! He’s…he’s alive…’
Relief flashed across Tulip’s face.
’I thought…I thought…I thought he died because of me,’ Tulip cried.
The three good fairies comforted her yet again.
’It wasn’t your fault.’
’Yes. It was the Queen who imprisoned him.’
’And it led to the best outcome. If he hadn’t been imprisoned by the Queen, we wouldn’t have met him at all. And we wouldn’t have been able to get out of that prison.’
Tulip stopped her tears. She watched as Atlan defended against the Queen’s attacks with just one bash of his shield.
This surprised her greatly. She knew first-hand how powerful the Queen was in her dragon form. But now, Atlan parried her attacks as if they were made out of nothing but air. It didn’t make sense.

’We gave him those weapons to fight against Malificient," the red fairy explained.
’Fight? We should run away!’ Tulip warned. Your journey continues on novelbuddy
’No, dear. This is his destiny, as well as yours. You trusted him enough to give your name to him, right?’
Tulip didn’t understand, but she nodded her head. Atlan was perhaps the first and only friend she had ever trusted in her life apart from her mothers. He was reliable and treated her not as a Canzer, but as a friend.
Her mothers warned her that she shouldn’t give away her name to people she didn’t trust, but Atlan was none of that.
’The reason we told you to conceal your name is because the prophecy told us that the chosen one would come and be the only being you gave your name to.’
’What prophecy?’
The three good fairies looked at each other and braced themselves. They were finally going to tell Tulip about her real identity.
’The prophecy is a long tale back in the olden days. It has been predicted that you will be the one to succeed Queen Malificient and lead the kingdom into prosperity.’
Tulip couldn’t believe it. ’Me?’
’Yes. You are the key to defeating Malificient.’
’But..but..but I don’t…I don’t know what you’re talking about.’
The three good fairies knew that this would be overwhelming for Tulip, but they didn’t have the time to explain.
’You’ll know. The answer is hidden deep within you. You know how to kill the Queen, you just don’t know that you know it yet.’

Atlan faced the dragon with his two overpowered weapons in hand. The gifts he got from the three good fairies proved very useful after they deflected one of the Queen’s attacks with barely any recoil.
With this power, it didn’t seem as impossible to kill her.
’Those weapons are not for mere mortals like you,’ said the Queen.
"I know. I think it fits right through your chest. You think I can leave it in there for some time?"
Atlan’s banter with the Queen made it seem like he was at the same level as her. But Ninth knew that the Queen was far more powerful than a normal Specialist Savior.
She didn’t know where Atlan got those weapons, but she didn’t think it would be enough to kill the Dragon. After all, no matter how powerful the weapons were, it didn’t matter if they were not wielded by the right person.
Atlan was only a Student-level Porter. He was far too weak to fight against a being like the Queen.
She wanted to say to Atlan that he should retreat now and ask for backup from Genesis City but found her voice to be too strained to say anything.
"Truth is, I’ve been hiding some things," Atlan uttered.
"I hid a few secrets because I thought that it would lead to further troubles down the line.
But now, I think it’s time for me to show my true fangs."
Atlan decided to finally show his true powers. He immediately looked down deep in his Soul System and activated one of his LifeSkills.
With a single thought, a large yarn and knitting needle manifested in the air.
Ninth’s eyes widened once she realized what Atlan was doing. She couldn’t believe it. She thought she was dreaming.
Atlan was using a LifeSkill!
But this LifeSkill didn’t look like something a porter could do, so it was definitely the LifeSkill of a different job.
That was supposed to be impossible. A person should only have one LifeSkill. That was the universal rule.
But seeing Atlan manipulate those yarn and needle with his powers made Ninth realize that everything she knew about the world, about Atlan, was a complete lie.
And from what she could muster from the strength of this LifeSkill, she knew that it had the strength of an Intern-level Savior!
Just then, the needle and yarn finished knitting a human-like figure. But after the final knot was done, the yarns turned into some kind of liquid that soon solidified into human skin.
Somehow, Atlan’s second LifeSkill was able to create humanoid puppets. There were three of them now, with two men and one woman, kneeling towards Atlan and awaiting their next orders.
But that wasn’t enough. The LifeSkill was creating more puppets!
