Chapter 99: Encountering a God.
“I got regeneration from you. With that, I won’t die as long as I have mana inside me. So I am near immortal right now. Just stop thinking you are bad, your ability might be one of the strongest there is.”
Evan said honestly, and it was right as well. Her ability, more to say her blessing is something that not everyone can have. So it sets her apart from everyone else already; not only that, but her blessing holds many more secrets than what catches the eye.
“Really?” Mizuki asked, bemused.
A small smile crept up on her face when she asked that, but she was still unsure if Evan was telling her the truth or saying it just so he could make her happy. Nonetheless, it was working wonders.
“Obviously, why would I even lie? And you can use that ability as well, you have a blessing. Only a rare few have something like that, so be proud of that. You have already used your ability without knowing it, so you just need to have focus to use it.”
“Hmm, when?” She asked.
“You must have seen the wooden floor bent, right? Who do you think did that? You have already used it, so you just need to know how to do it knowingly.”
Mizuki naturally saw the bending of the wood, but she thought it was Evan who did it, not her. But she didn’t press it any further and listened to Evan for more.
But currently, he is also having a conversation with the system as he also doesn’t know much about the blessings. He does know about the cultivation but not the blessings, which are completely different topics.
‘Hey system, blessings aren’t the same as ability, right?’
[Umm, they are categorized as the ability by system, as they can be used as one, but blessings are different. It actually grants many different abilities to the holder.]
[I already mentioned to you that only a god can give blessings to others. They need divinity to grant someone a blessing, so I am actually puzzled right now; how can a normal being like her have a blessing? A god won’t just grant the blessing to anyone, only their true and pure devotee will have their blessings.]
Evan listened to it and added his on his own.
‘But she doesn’t have any relation with a god, right? So, how? Hmm, can the system give a blessing as well?’
[It can’t, host. The system doesn’t have divinity for that.]
‘Then how? I know for sure that she is a human and has lived here for a long while, even her age isn’t so high, and I have known Anna for a long time, so she can’t be from somewhere else like a mother.’
[Why don’t you ask her yourself, host?]
‘Hmm, maybe I should.’
Evan then looked at Mizuki and asked, “Do you believe in god?”
“Hmm? I suppose I do..?” Mizuki replied, putting her finger on her lips.
“Do you have any idea how you got your blessing?”
Mizuki tilted her head and said, “How would I know? Don’t people get something from awakening?”
Evan observed her closely and thought,
‘She doesn’t seem to have any idea about it. And I don’t think a god will make a mistake on giving his blessing as well.’
[I think the same, host.]
‘Sigh, I feel I am in need of something to figure this out, but don’t know what exactly it is.’
[I could have figured out the connection between her and the god that gave her the ability, but I am bound to you right now and can’t exceed my full abilities right now. I apologize for not being any help, host.]
‘Hmm, is that so? You don’t-…
[Host, be ALERT!!!]
Just when Evan was about to tell the system to not worry about it, the system alerted Evan.
The moment he heard System’s reminder, he felt that something had changed inside the room. This was the same feeling that Evan felt when he used his time capsule.
Evan looked around but saw nothing and when he looked at Mizuki, she was still, not moving at all.
[Host, use your ‘Eye of all things’.]
Evan used it immediately and looked around again. But this time he saw a black barrier surrounding the house.
The outside place was normal, but everything inside the barrier was stopped, even the rain.
He then turned towards his right and saw a figure, clouded in a mist, black tendrils around it with a golden halo behind his back.
The figure moved his head when he saw Evan looking at him and said, feeling amused.
“Oh, a lowlife like you can see me.” His tone was haughty, full of pride and arrogance.
Evan became annoyed with him and was about to reply to him when the system sounded inside his head again.
[Be careful, host. He is a god.]
‘A god?!’
[Yeah. It will be your foolishness to fight with him. So, be alert.]
‘I understand.’
Evan nodded and decided to be careful. He is aware that he is nowhere near fighting against a god right now.
“Who are you?!” Evan asked.
“Hmm, I see that you are talking to someone, but I don’t know who it is. Strange, I didn’t think I would meet such an interesting lowlife like you.” The dark figure talked again and grinned at Evan.
His constantly calling Evan a lowlife was making his temples twitch; he had the urge to touch the hell out of him right now.
So, he gritted his teeth and asked again, “I asked, who are you? And what are you doing here?”
Evan still pretended to be calm, but it was useless, he was already seen through.
“Don’t you think you are being too bold for a lowlife? You should be lowering your head in front of me, and. I am a GOD, you should worship me. Now kneel before me.”
His arrogance was getting on Evan now. But engaging with him in a battle where he knows he can’t win against a god isn’t the right choice.
But… after taking a proper glance at him, he can confirm that the person in front of him isn’t the true god.
[Name: Sylvanus ( An avatar of God)
Age: 12526
Height: Not confirmed.
Physical stats:
Strength: 710
Agility: 730
Stamina: 890
Endurance: 701
Authority: Verdanth
Divinity: Not confirmed
Cultivation: Not confirmed
Potential: Demi-God tier
Feelings for host
Rage: 240
Loathe: 1003]
Using his ability, Evan realized that he was just an avatar of God, and not the real one, but even this is more powerful than him.
And seeing his feelings that were hidden behind his clouded face, he knew the god wasn’t here to just talk.
“You a god? You don’t look anything like a god.”
Saying so, Evan got up from his seat, and when he did that, Mizuki, who was on his lap just now, disappeared from her place.
Evan sends her and Anna both at the same time inside his sect to keep them safe.
When the god saw that, he became even more amused and said,
“You are something else. You send them both away without me noticing. I applaud you for that.”
“You didn’t notice. It only means that you are incapable of seeing it, so you don’t need to praise me.”
Now that he knows both of them are safe, Evan doesn’t need to worry about anything.
“So, you feel free now after sending them somewhere else. I got here from the prison of those so-called kind gods; even though I don’t have even a portion of my strength in this avatar, it’s still enough to crush you, you know that, right?”
“Umm, but what’s the point of having so much strength if you don’t have a good enough brain to utilize them?” Evan mocked him, making Sylvanus more furious.
“You a lustful creature, a bastard of a demon, you dare to mock me? I will shred you to pieces. I arrived here after sensing someone tried to take away the blessing I gave to a slave of mine, but it seems like you are the rat who tried that. I will kill you now, and wait for her to reach the god-realm.”
He said furiously and launched himself towards Evan. With just his movement, the entire house was shattered to pieces.
Evan’s reaction speed wasn’t enough to dodge his attack and Sylvanus grabbed his neck and lifted him.
“Now what you insect? You dare to blabber your mouth again?” He asked with a wicked grin on his face.
Evan didn’t say a word to him and his grin widened even more, but then… Evan whispered something in a low voice and snorted.
“You fool.”
Then a black ball with dark flames appeared out of nowhere in front of the god and Evan whispered again,
“Infernal tempest.”
