God´s Eyes

Chapter 919 – Fused Stigma

“Don’t worry about that too much, we had already expected something similar to happen.

In fact, everyone gained a lot from you, so I doubt that the City Lord will ask you to compensate him. It might even be the other way around, but that is not something I can promise you.”

Right now, Elder Ben seemed to be extremely relaxed.

This caused Jason to feel at ease, which he clearly indicated by sighing in relief.

Turning his head towards the young Elite of Liun, Jason saw that they were fighting in a straightforward manner, not bothering about inflicting or receiving injuries.

It made him smile lightly because nobody seemed to be afraid of the Soul Monarch anymore.

As such, everything was completely different from how it had been just two years ago.

Casting a look around he realized that not much had changed in the city in the last two years, and the only visible change was the attitude of the citizens who had become visibly more comfortable.

Jason liked this, even if his entire being told him that there was something about the Soul Monarch and his Guards which he didn’t perceive.

The information about the higher occurrence of wandering souls, which Elder Ben had told him earlier, was something that made Jason a little bit uncomfortable.

However, instead of bothering about the things that made him feel uneasy, he simply looked at the young people sparring against each other.

His eyes fell on Lars, the young man, who was fighting with someone at a higher cultivation base than his own.

It was clear that the youth had become far more powerful than before.

Whether it was his control over the Hellfire Werebear or his cultivation base that had increased by a slight margin.

While intently watching the battle, Jason didn’t even notice that he had exposed his entire stigma to Elder Ben, who had already been astonished about the change of Jason’s eye color.

“Your…tattoo didn’t suddenly increase in size, I guess? It won’t make any sense considering that you were in isolation for two years… Did you comprehend a stigma during your breakthrough? Was that why you suddenly caused a phenomenon?”

Elder Ben asked him the questions that had popped up in his head upon seeing the stigma. Turning his head back to Elder Ben, Jason didn’t really feel uncomfortable with the gaze he received, or even the question.

Instead, he was calmly looking at the Elder, knowing that he couldn’t really hide such a large stigma.

Jennifer was able to do that, but not him.

Thus, he smiled lightly, thinking that lying would lead to more doubts and simply nodded his head after a few moments.

Seeing Jason’s behavior, the Elder couldn’t help but look intently into Jason’s eyes before he tweaked his question.

“So…your earlier tattoo…was that really a tattoo or is that also a stigma?”

There were multiple ways to acquire a stigma, but naturally comprehending and creating one was extremely difficult.

Apparently, even for Grand, or Superior races, this was said to be quite difficult.

As such, most used excessive energy during a breakthrough in order to engrave a stigma on themselves.

Nevertheless, Elder Ben hadn’t come across many Superior, let alone Grand races that had a large stigma.

The only thing he had seen were a few individuals with small stigmas around the size of a thumb.

Thus, even Jason’s first stigma was far too large to possess for an individual who had been at the Prismar stage.

Yet, seeing that Jason nodded his head once again while opening his mouth to give him a proper answer, the Elder couldn’t help but feel goosebumps erupt over his body.

‘Just, who the hell is this guy?!’

A moment later, Jason provided an answer, even though Ben was unsure whether he felt satisfied with the answer he received or not.

“The golden reversed wing was also a Stigma, but now, my second stigma seemed to have merged with the first one, so you could say that I only possess one.

It was quite difficult to hide the first stigma ever since it had manifested when I broke into the Lique stage.

If I were to think about it, I’m not even sure if I should reveal the truth to you, but it’s not like I can hide the right side of my entire face forever.

Wearing a mask for my entire life is not something I would want to do either!”

Shaking his head, Jason answered as if it was a big worry for him.

And for a moment, Elder Ben felt like punching Jason, but in the end he held back.

It was an undeniable fact that he was interested in Jason, and his curiosity only increased owing to the changes his breakthrough seemed to have caused.

Yet, somehow, things felt weird.

‘How can an Agran comprehend a stigma at the Lique stage?! And his two stigmas fused? What the hell is going on with Jason…?’

He was clearly jealous of Jason, but on the other side, he was also glad to have someone, who seemed to have Godly cultivation and comprehension talent by their side.

This meant that Jason could turn into a powerful asset if he were to fight on their side.

In fact, it was not unlikely for Jason to start accepting all kinds of difficult missions because he said that he required Soa crystals for something.

Thus, the Elder began to wonder what exactly the young man’s plan was, and what kind of changes the Soa crystals would bring him.

At this moment, Lars saw Jason and Jennifer, which caused him to smile brightly as he finished his spar with a brutal finishing blow.

Ignoring his sparring partner who laid on the ground, writhing in pain, he rushed towards the pair as he shouted,

“Finally, you two are back!! Jason, lets fight! I have become much stronger during the last two years. You are no match to me anymore!!”

When Lars said this, Jason wanted to tease the young man a little bit, but he heard the light chuckle of Jennifer who tried hard not to laugh.

This attracted the attention of the Elder and Lars, who clearly heard her owing to the silence in the surrounding.

It confused them, only for Elder Ben to realize what she was laughing at.

‘I can feel that Jason has become more powerful, but doesn’t she exaggerate a little bit by indicating that Jason would never lose against Lars, and that she deems his words as a great joke?’

Initially, Ben had been confused about Jason’s fused Stigma, and a few more things that made him curious about Jason.

Yet, seeing Jennifer’s reaction to Lars’ challenge, he felt that things might be even more complicated than initially presumed.

Unfortunately, Lars was not all that patient or someone who thought everything over as he glared at Jennifer.

He clearly recalled his fight against her in which he had overwhelmed her and owing to the shockingly high progress he made, it was clear how confident he was now.

Looking straight into Jennifer’s eyes, Lars only glanced towards Jason, who was extremely calm and observed the staring match between the two.

“Then how about I challenge you Jennifer? Do you dare to fight me?!”

Hearing Lars’ challenge, Jason tried hard to control his poker face.

He knew that Jennifer had practiced in the Kanadi of a Primordial technique for an entire year, three to four times a day. But that was not where she had stopped and had begun cultivating in the center of the dense energies his secondary bloodline awakening had attracted.

Thus, Jennifer might not have fought a lot during the last two years, but her cultivation was much higher, and so was every single trait about her.

With that in mind, Jason could barely hold back his excitement as he was eager to see how Jennifer would fare against Lars.

Seeing Jason’s expression that looked like he suppressed his worries, Lars misunderstood the situation as he hurriedly added,

“Don’t worry, brother. I won’t injure her heavily. I’ll hold back!”

To Jason, this sounded even more ridiculous because he trusted Jennifer and her skills to the fullest, even if she might not have practiced her martial art techniques for a long time.

“Just take care of yourself. You shouldn’t focus too much on holding back, trust me!”
