Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 229 'Friend' Or Plaything?



"Do you still remember the Heaven\'s Palace Alliance and the Garden of the Five Elements?"

Silvian\'s question confused Nial for a few seconds. He could faintly recall a few memories about the two names of the two Alliances of Gods.

The Heaven\'s Palace and the Garden of the Five Elements were powerful alliances and they had been enemies for eons.

In no way would they ever work together. That was why Nial\'s interest was piqued as he asked,

"I do recall some information about them, but how are they connected to your incarnation on Jundra?"

Nial could tell that there was more behind Silvian\'s reasoning to incarnate on Jundra, so he waited patiently.

"If I were to put it simply, I might have offended too many Gods simultaneously when I started conducting experiments on Yilaer. As you may recall, Yilaer wasn\'t claimed by any of the Gods before. However, that changed when I did my experiments on it.

Well, to summarize what happened, Yilaer is now the battlefield of the Heaven\'s Palace and the Garden of the Five Elements, and I might have offended both alliances.

Now I need more lands, people, and a place to expand my power once again, cause…most of my territory has been destroyed by the two bastard alliances…"

Silvian wouldn\'t make such a big mistake as missing out on sharing the fact that a planet had suddenly become the battlefield of two large God Alliances.

But even though Nial felt that Silvian was hiding something, he didn\'t say anything.

"As for my reasons to choose Jundra as the planet to claim some lands, to find more people, and to expand my power, there are too many to tell them to you. However, some of my reasoning should be the same as yours. Jundra is not a normal planet, and all of us have been eagerly waiting for its awakening.

Now that Jundra\'s planetary mana core has shown signs of awakening, many Gods have begun to influence the development of the world by manifesting dungeons.

I\'m not sure if your memories told you about Jundra\'s importance in the universe, but I believe that you will find out soon enough why this large and beautiful planet is so important."

It looked like Silvian didn\'t want to reveal his reasons to have chosen Jundra as his planet of incarnation.

However, Nial didn\'t intend to drill holes in Silvian by asking numerous questions.

He might be interested in Silvian\'s reasoning but he was pretty sure that he couldn\'t trust the God of Saints and Devils.

\'As long as your friends have the same goals as you, there won\'t be any problems. But it looks like our interests clash this time. You want to make the human race yours and to use them as your Soldiers to fight the Armies of Gods in the future.

I\'m sorry to say this, but I doubt we cannot be on friendly terms for long.\' Nial thought, trying his best not to speak his thoughts out loud.

It was obvious that he shouldn\'t offend the Sacred Knights leader right now. That was why Nial closed his mouth, without asking anything.

Silvian\'s reasons to incarnate in the first place felt like a lie to him. However, there was definitely a reason for him to have incarnated so early. After all, incarnating on Jundra where the strongest existence was merely allowed to be a Prometheus rank was definitely constraining for any kind of God.

Most of their powers would naturally be sealed, and their prowess wouldn\'t be much higher than those of humans at the Prometheus rank.

They had only certain advantages over others, including their knowledge, their proficiency over the power they held for thousands of years, and the preparations they had made before incarnating.

\'Silvian should have much more up his sleeve than the bunch of Soul Space fragments, the Dryx\'s infiltration and the creation of the Sacred Knights. He has gained everyone\'s trust, and when he reclaims Juna, he will be even more popular.

After all, he can brag that he protected the entire group of Originals, who came from Liondra. The Minotaur really played in his hands.\'

Nial didn\'t believe that Silvian was the one to send the Mutant Minotaur. For that, Silvian lost too much. He was even forced to use some of his sealed power to manifest a portal to flee from the last attack.

Creating a portal that looked just like a dungeon portal would attract a lot of attention, even if it was just manifested for a quarter of a second.

Silvian had been lucky because only Nial noticed this, but it could have ended differently, and Nial understood this quite well.

"All of us have waited for its awakening… Now that it is nearing its awakening, everyone is interested in it…" Nial mumbled, trying to digest the information Silvian had unintentionally revealed.

For a few seconds, he was lost in thoughts but before Silvian could notice that something was wrong with Nial, he had already gotten up from the couch.

"Alright, I will take your leave now. We should chat later. I have to sort the memories I\'ve just recalled. Please excuse me." Saying so, Nial got up from his seat before he turned to the large tent\'s entrance.

"Remember all of your memories as quickly as possible. If you take too long, it might already be too late. Your dark energy is not something any other God has, and with your current strength, many Gods will be pleased to squash you like a tiny ant." Silvian merely said before he turned quiet.

Nial or Damian\'s sudden appearance was something Silvian hadn\'t included in any of his plans. It made things much easier as long as Damian was on his side.

\'But it doesn\'t look like he has abandoned his human side, yet. He needs to awaken his remaining memories so that his hatred against them will be of use to me! As long as I can make use of that… hehehe.\' Silvian thought as a bright and scheming smile appeared on his face when Nial had left the tent.

He lifted his hand faintly to grasp the outlines of Nial, who was already further away before he squashed his hand, visualizing Nial to be squashed in his hand like a tiny ant.

\'I won\'t be one of your puppets anymore, and never again will I let you use me. You might believe that you think of me as your friend, but the way you treated me as if I was your personal butler disgusted me. Now, you will turn into my plaything. Finally, it\'s time for me to take everything from you, your soul, your body, your talent, your power, and everyone you love!!\'

Nial was oblivious to the thoughts of the Sacred Knights leader. However, he couldn\'t be bothered about them even if he was aware of them because he had never seen Silvian as his friend, to begin with.

He was not Damian, let alone ready to accept that the God of Saints and Devils treated the human race like his toys.

Silvian had sacrificed more than a hundred thousand humans, just to gain more popularity during the Dryx\'s infiltration.

Not only was he the one to \'save\' the shelters, but he was also the harbinger of death, who had planned and initiated the infiltration of the Dryx.

\'I really don\'t like him…\' This was the final conclusion Nial reached at.

Silvian was scheming something, hiding the truth, and it was quite obvious what he thought about the human race.

\'Still, it is great to make use of him to get more information!\' He thought before returning his attention back to the information he had procured by listening intently to whatever Silvian had said.

\'Everyone was eagerly waiting for Jundra\'s awakening. That means Jundra is extremely important, for whatever reason. Until now, there shouldn\'t have been many incarnations of Gods, but that is only obvious.

According to the memories I\'ve just gotten, incarnating requires tremendous amounts of energy, and in the worst case, you might even be forced to sacrifice your Divinity.

Thus, sending out fragments of their Divinity to Jundra, to act as spearheads is the most common way for Gods to enact their supremacy plan.

But then again, there are desperate Gods, who are willing to sacrifice their Divinity, if that is necessary… Silvian for example is one such God.\'

Nial had no idea what kind of problems Silvian was facing, but he was definitely prepared to conquer the human race from within their rows.

He was also desperate because he had incarnated just with that goal, and had prepared numerous plans to make his dream a reality.

Creating a few underlings using the fragments of their Divinity would usually be enough to scout and claim some lands for the Gods to expand their range.

It was not easy to claim a new planet, and it should take them quite some planning especially for Jundra. After all, that planet was special, even if Nial had yet to figure out how exactly.

While Nial walked over the temporary base consisting of close to a thousand tents, his mind was in a disarray.

It was quite annoying that everyone had been waiting for Jundra\'s planetary awakening because it made things more difficult.

However, Nial considered it to be quite advantageous that he finally found out about it.

Now that he was aware of it, he could start his own preparations and roughly gauge when chaos was about to descend onto Jundra.

\'The moment the planet awakens its mana, we will have to adjust to the changes as quickly as possible. If Jundra is really as unique as Silvian says, I doubt that the mana it releases will be little.

If mankind can improve as soon as the planetary mana core awakens and achieve a great amount of strength until it reaches its final form, the Gods will have a hard time subduing the human race!\'

Nial\'s head began to ache because of all the frustrating things that were occurring at once. He had just wanted to reunite with his family, and have some peace.

Was that really too much to ask for? Nial didn\'t believe so.

Unfortunately, fate was definitely not on his side, but when had that ever been the case, to begin with?

\'Whatever, I\'ll just use the high mana density in the surroundings to continue with the creation of the primary Ancient Origin ring…\'

Nial could hardly hide that he was pissed off. The Ankh was still glowing brightly, forcing his Odyssey seed to beat.

Even if he didn\'t want to, Nial couldn\'t stop the Odyssey seed from beating, which was why a high amount of mana was being absorbed in his body every second.

The surrounding mana was manyfold higher than anywhere he had even been before. However, this was only obvious because there were several hundred dungeon portals all around and within the abandoned shelter, releasing mana at any time.

There was even an Abyssal Dungeon that was releasing tremendous amounts of pure mana.

Nial was not interested in conquering any dungeon. He might have planned to conquer some Rookie dungeons, where only Origin ranked Originals could enter.

But his mood had changed after talking to Silvian. The short chat with Silvian had frustrated him, and it clearly showed him that the Sacred Knights leader might think of him as a \'friend\' but that he didn\'t think highly of the human race.

They were just a tool for him, and Nial could only hope that the next incarnation of a God would show more compassion toward the human race.

\'I\'m even fine if a friendly race were to come over. I doubt that we won\'t accept living next to some friendly races as long as we can survive.\' Nial only thought gloomily. He sighed deeply before he sat down on the ground, cross-legged, and continued to create his primary Ancient Origin ring.
