Chapter 204 May’s Wish
While these events were unfolding in the demon continent, things were heating up in the Syrward residence.
[ So you are telling me that he left me here! ] May shouted inside Risa's head.
"I have already told you this three times..." Risa replied as her jaw twitched slightly.
[ But he left me here... what if my divinity goes out of control or something? ]
"There are many people other than Jason who can handle that," Risa replied calmly.
[ Oh yeah? I know you don't want to come near me since my aura is triggering something inside you, something that has been hidden and not used for a long time. ] May countered.
The demi-god had sensed " long ago that even though Risa tried her best to take care of her, she maintained some distance.
In the end, May realized that her divine powers were triggering a similar reaction inside Risa.
May guessed that Risa also had a divinity inside her but it hadn't been activated or used for a long time.
"I... you are right." Risa sighed. "But that doesn't mean I'll let you be. I can control your divinity a bit as well. Why do you want Jason to be here though?"
[ Its because... ] May's voice trailed off.
'He is the only one who hasn't been affected by my divinity and I saw things about him.' May sighed.
When Jason had been trying to control her divinity, May had gotten a glimpse at Jason's life.
However, she hadn't seen the memories of his current life, or at least that was the conclusion she had arrived at.
She had seen a few memories of him growing up and spending time with Thalia.
May had also seen the memories Jason had of fighting during m.
May couldn't help but be fascinated by the actions of the silver-haired teenager.
"If you want to meet him, you can always go to him," Risa suggested despite knowing that it wasn't possible.
May was still stuck in the body of an infant so she couldn't travel that far without the help of someone else.
[ That's a genius idea! ] May exclaimed.
Risa blinked in surprise since she wasn't expecting that response.
"Uh..."
Before she could say anything, May's body started glowing. The divinity inside her body flared up as May's aura started vanishing.
'I wish to be with him since he can prevent me from going on a rampage. And he is the only one who I know something about...'
In the blink of an eye, the demi-god vanished from her spot. All that was left of her was a strand of divine energy that was being attracted toward Risa's body.
"Damn it." Risa clenched her fist in frustration before deflecting the divine energy.

"Achoo!" Jason suddenly sneezed.
He and Amber were currently standing under a huge oak tree with Amon.
The rest of the sins were reporting to the demon king so they had to wait there for their conference to be over.
"Seems like someone is remembering you." Amon chuckled.
"Maybe..." Jason shrugged.
A minute passed by in this manner before Jason felt something inside him heating up.
'Uh, system, is it me, or is something weird going inside my body?' Jason questioned.
[ Let me run a scan. Want me to check up on your divinities as well? ]
'Definitely.'
< Ding! >
< Scan complete! >
< A foreign semi-divine presence has been located inside the host's soul. One of the bonds formed by the host's soul is currently pulling on this divine energy. >
A frown appeared on Jason's face after hearing the message.
He immediately focused on his bond with May since she was the only semi-divine being he currently had a bond with.
[ Ahem, you are wrong there. Both Hestia and I define semi-divine beings. ]
'Damn, I learned something new by mistake again.'
[ At least you are not saying that sarcastically. ]
Jason was about to say something in response when a shrill voice echoed inside his head.
[ FOUND YOU! ]
Jason immediately clutched his head as a burst of divine energy shot out from his body.
May hovered in front of him with a tired expression on her face. The divine energy emitting from her body slowly started vanishing as well.
"What is she doing here?" Amber asked with a surprised expression.
Since she too had been staying at the Syrward residence she had gotten to see May a few times.
Jason had also explained how he had encountered her but he hadn't told Amber who May's godly parent was.
In fact, Jason hadn't told anyone else who May's parents were. He felt that it would be much easier to protect her if he and the Red-Butt Monkey king were the only people to know about May's parents.
"This is not good. Her divinity leaked out and was probably picked up by most of the senior demons in the nearby area. We need to change locations right now!" Amon said with an alert look.
"No need to do that. None of you except that child will be leaving this place!" A high-pitched feminine voice cackled.

The branches of the tree suddenly shot down and attacked the quartet.
Jason immediately wrapped his arms around May and dodged the incoming branches with the help of his thunder element. Amber attacked the branches head-on with her magma element. Since her element had a huge advantage over the branches, her attack immediately destroyed most of the branches.
Amon remained still on his position with an expressionless face. The branches coming his way were destroyed by an invisible force, making the owner of the voice click their tongue.
"My distraction wasn't that strong I guess."
Three pink beams suddenly shot from under the ground and directly targeted the trio.
"The house of lust and envy combining together. That's something new." Amon whistled lowly as the beam hit his body.
Jason managed to dodge the attack while Amber merged herself with the ground to avoid being hit.
She also used her powers to sense the presence of other demons hiding underground. Though she wasn't sure of their power level, she used her powers to slowly trap them inside the earth.
"Oh, you know who we are?" The owner of the voice jumped down from the top of the tree and revealed herself.
"I think you might know me as well." Amon smiled. "After all, I am one of the sins."
