God´s Eyes

Chapter 528 – God’s Children

The government was fully aware of why the Olympus federation was suddenly inviting them to participate in the liberation tournament.

This was a great opportunity, but also a great burden that caused every big clan and the ancient sects to gather to brainstorm about utilizing the opportunity to its fullest.

In comparison to the Great Argos war, this seemed to be equally important if not even more.

Those who had fought against each other in the war were now sitting across a huge table, discussing the options they had.

Unfortunately, their options were limited, and even less than a handful allowed them to come out of the situation without any disadvantages, let alone profits.

Everyone was aware that the invitation was a challenge and at the same time a means for other races to get to know the human race. 

They also realised that the only thing that caused several dozen races to come to the mana scarce planet like Argos was the soul world!

"We need to participate, that's already given. There is no way around it! Our God's children should be strong enough to handle the situation well.. It might not be perfect but better than nothing!" 

One middle-aged man said while trying to figure out the best solution for their issue.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Heapha, who hadn't said much during the last few minutes, stood up from her chair.

"Let's invite Jason Stella too. He is also a human and the reason for the Olympus federation to invite us, to begin with!" 

Since Shane and Dalia's death, she seemed to have changed. Instead of living in seclusion, Haepha had started to come forward and speak more, and give her best to change mankind in its entirety!

There was not much she could do, but her capabilities in forging were great, and her strength more than enough to become a part of the gathering.

At that moment, Jael Drake, who was also present due to the necessity, lifted his head.

His eyes were gleaming in interest.

"Did you just say Jason Stella? You mean the young man with golden eyes, who has released the book titled Argos' insignificance, stating that he is a halfling?"

His voice was emotionless while he recalled the young 14-year-old child without any talent.

'Are those two Jason's the same, or am I mistaken?'

Had they been the same, Jael Drake would have been deceived.

'His mana aptitude had been too low and his soul-awakening had barely met the average range…'

This was confusing, but instead of focusing too much on those aspects, the Drake family patriarch began to wonder whether Jason wanted to kill him or not.

It was likely to be the case because he had heard that Shane and Dalia had been Jason's masters.

However, in the end, Jason was said to help mankind with all his might, which meant that killing the patriarch of a big clan was the least he had on his mind right now.

To put it simply, the young man was not even strong enough to face Jael Drake with his current strength.

If Jason were to hear the Drake family patriarch's words, he would probably try to twist the old man's neck.

Nevertheless, he couldn't kill Jael, and Jason was fully aware of that.

He was too weak and had to save the Flers before doing anything reckless.

"Let's invite him. Even if we might not need his help, it is always better to have one more hand to support us. To be honest, I doubt that he would want to miss participating in the liberation tournament. It might be as someone without an affiliation, but that wouldn't be required.

Just by looking at the rewards, I can tell that it's tempting for Jason Stella. He already has an origin flame and knows how valuable they're!" 

It was Merl Arths who had said this, and nobody raised their voice against him.

There was the undeniable fact that having Jason on their own side was better than fighting against him in the tournament.

As such, they sent someone to look for Jason, whose current location was not a secret anymore. 

Anyone who had taken a look at the Skynet forum threads during the last half an hour knew where to find him.

Thanks to that it was not difficult to locate and meet him.

Jason couldn't help but agree to their request for him to participate in the liberation tournament because this was exactly what he had planned and wanted to do in the first place.

Only a few days later he had joined the grand gathering with the main attention on three women and two men.

They were at the 2nd to 4th Lique stage according to the number of liquefied drops of mana inside their mana core.

However, their mana core's size and the amplifications Jason was able to perceive through his emperor eyes were grand, to say the least.

From the looks of it, each of them had around four soulbonds and every single one of them was not only strong but also of a different element, strengthening the five God's children further.

The percentage of their amplification was strong too, and it was no wonder that they were considered the strongest of the strong.

"At least the 7th Lique stage??" He blurted quietly, though Haepha had heard him who had offered Jason a seat next to her.

She wanted to continue what Shane and Dalia were unable to finish. Jason's strength might be terrifically high, but his mental state was still showing signs of being unstable and volatile.

As such, Haepha thought that it was necessary to help him a little.

It was not needed to become Jason's new master or anything like that. Right now, he just needed someone next to him, someone who would provide him some support or guidance!

In the end, it was not difficult to understand that Jason didn't want to let other people become as important as his masters had become to him.

From the outside, it might have looked like he'd quickly overcome everything without any issues, but that was not the case!

He was still hurting from both Scorpio and his masters' death!

Right now, Jason's mind was calm and he seemingly ignored the Drake family patriarch's entire existence, which included his frown.

The patriarch understood that he had been deceived because Jason's mana fluctuations were still the same as before.

There was only a minuscule change, which was the terrifying Celestia aura and his stigma that were not suppressed.

Jason wouldn't disguise himself anymore and instead preferred to show others who he truly was. If they didn't like this, they could try to kill him, but that was not something he was afraid of.

Having killed thousands of beings, Jason knew how quickly one could die, and that only the loved ones of the deceased that were left behind would suffer.

The people that died, would merely feel some pain before everything would end.

While the main attention was on the five God's children, a large part of the crowd couldn't help but flick their gazes towards Jason every now and then.

The tournament was said to start only on new year's eve which was less than four months from now. During that time, the big clan heads wanted to allow the five God's children to learn every martial art technique they wanted to.

In addition to that, they were to receive the best possible cultivation resources and so on.

Jason wasn't even mentioned, but he simply ignored this. He hadn't expected to be treated well, to begin with.

Through his Emperor Eyes that had received a substantial enhancement, Jason was able to see one particular hue enveloping almost everyone tightly after all.

Since he had absorbed the divine aura, he could see the emotions of other beings in the form of hues that enveloped them.

These emotions were only targeted to him, which allowed Jason to figure out whether others were afraid, angry or even happy about his arrival.

Even though he had yet to figure out what some hues looked like, Jason knew that most big clan heads were afraid of him.

The hues he perceived were distinct enough to figure that out.

Only the hues of the five God's Children and a few other big clans and ancient sect heads were different as well as Haepha's.

Three out of five God's Children were curious about him, while one seemed to be angry. However, one of the women was staring at him intently, without any hue enveloping her.

This caused him to feel uncomfortable, and Jason assumed that she was able to see that he was trying to infiltrate her privacy through his Emperor Eyes' ability.

However, instead of nodding apologetically, he simply stared back at her defiantly without saying anything for a long time.

He was still listening intently to the discussion when an unexpected question was hurled towards him.

"Jason Stella, I heard that one of your soulbond died during the Great Argos war. How about you search for another soulbond? Your soul world should have enough space for at least one, maybe even more soulbonds!" 

The middle-aged man who was talking to Jason was someone he had never seen or heard of before.

As such, Jason concluded that it was a new patriarch who had replaced one of the heads who had died during the Great Argos war.

Even though he had told himself to stay calm and not attract any attention, Jason didn't like the way the middle-aged man was talking.

Instead of someone with great strength or combat prowess, the middle-aged man simply appeared to be someone with two solidified prismarine crystals.

He didn't even have great amplifications from his soul world or soulbond.

Literally nothing about the man was unique, and it was only after a few seconds that he turned his head towards the man.

His golden-silverish eyes were ice-cold and stared straight into the dark-brown eyes of the middle-aged man.

"How about I teach you a precious lesson? This will be my one and only warning!"

With that being said, Jason unleashed his Celestia aura at once, oppressing everyone seated in the large hall, making them gasp for air.
