“So, you are really going to give me anything I want?”
“Yes, of course, I always keep my promises.”
What do I ask for? I really had not thought of what I wanted? Can I ask for his life? It would make conquering over this land easy, or do I make him destroy his own kingdom? I can kill him after he destroys his kingdom? Wait, can I even kill him? If I tell him to kill himself, would all this be just over? Is that what I want? I came here to judge how strong the elves are, would it not be better to ask him to destroy the kingdom? Is that really what I want? Why did I even try to make my own kingdom? To prove my own strength, If I ask him to kill himself, would that prove my strength? NO, but I did win the match, so it could count as a victory but is this the way I wanted to win? No? Am I scared? Am I scared that I might fail in a direct fight? What do I ask for?
My mind was filled with questions, yet I had no answer, so I had asked myself what I wanted,
Did I want to prove myself? Yes
Would asking him for his life prove my strength? No
Would asking him to destroy his kingdom prove my strength? No
Was I afraid? Yes
Was I excited? Yes
Did I want to fight with the king and his entire kingdom? Yes!!!!
The thoughts in my mind finally cleared, and now I had made my decision.
“I need one day.”
“One day?”
“Well, it’s a big decision, after all. Obviously, I would need time to think about it.”
“And where are you going to stay on that day?”
“Does not this big palace have a room for me? How about it? You can even keep surveillance on me while I am here,”
Looks like the king had not expected this, he had narrowed eyes and lowered eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he finally took a breath and said,
“Very Well, I will let you stay here for one day and give you some time to think about it, but you would be under surveillance and would not be allowed to cause any trouble.”

“Thank you very much.”
“If you require any food just ask the guards, and I will tell the guards to escort you to your room, you are our guest, after all, enjoy your stay here if you can.”
“of course, I appreciate it.”
The guards escorted me to my room, it was a big room, there was a giant bed, it was also really comfy, there were fruits around the table, candles everywhere, and I could see the city's view the mountains from here.
It was a nice view, and the town was vivacious.
I just wanted to relax for a bit, but there were issues at hand.
The reason I asked for a day was because I still had way too little information on them. I found somethings like how my replica was totally outmatched by the king along with the elders. Also, the king was unlike the other high elves like he said he alone could destroy this kingdom if he wanted. Even I did not have that level of confidence, and I still could not see the extent of his real power or what sort of abilities he had.
There was also a replica problem. I realized exciting things about my replica when I talked with the king. The Fruit had merged with my cells, while it did give me immortality. It also stopped my growth.
I had to deal with this problem as I needed to improve my strength.
In the previous kingdom, where I became known as the divine doctor, I had treated many humans. I knew the human body's structure down to its cellular level, So I began to check what was different about my body from the rest of the humans.
I took a meditative pose and started taking long breaths
I slowly began to feel the working process of my body. I could feel the heartbeat, the blood flowing through my veins, the oxygen that it carried, the contraction of my lungs. I went even more in-depth to the cellular level. I could feel my cells' working process and how it was different from normal humans. Normal human cells would contain a nucleus, mitochondria, mine also did, but mine had more elements than normal humans; some things did not belong in a human body. So, I thought what if I could remove it? And restore it to its previous state.
It would be a painful process with no guarantee of the results, but I had to try it.

[Initiating Full Body Deconstruct and Reconstruct]
----------------------------------------
The cells in my body began to open, I began separating what belonged in a human body and a foreign object.
I was slowly managing to assemble the foreign objects that were previously present in my body. But now, with them gone, it was like half of my body tissues suddenly vanished. The blood would not flow as the heart would not beat. Blood was everywhere, the body was no longer immortal. So it would not regenerate. The replica was on the verge of destruction. I took a bit of my soul out of my body to use soul puppetry and hold my body using strings. Soon I was able to recreate the Fruit from the foreign objects.

YES NO

With the help of the string, I moved my hands and selected Yes.
