Chapter 199 Divinity Fragment



The green particles continued to swirl for several minutes.

In these five minutes, Mathias didn\'t notice anything from his surroundings, while Nial\'s senses were drastically restricted.

He was right in front of the small whirlpool of particles and couldn\'t even move properly as he could not pick up anything distinct about his surroundings.

Even when he had not yet awoken his Origin that had never happened before.

He had always been able to use his senses to figure out where he was or if there was something in his way.

There shouldn\'t be a single instance where he was unable to sense anything, yet, his restricted senses were a clear sign that this was just happening.

\'I was already confused why it was so easy to defeat the Treant. Is that some sort of curse, or what?\'

Nial knew that he was not cursed right now. In fact, nothing was happening to him, to begin with.

He was merely unlucky to have been standing right in front of the Mana core that was slowly disintegrating into countless particles.

These particles were usually nothing special. They always appeared when a defeated beast turned into an Origin crystal or in an ability crystal.

What Nial didn\'t know was that the particles were usually white and not green like those in front of him.

He couldn\'t see it, after all, so he was not worried.

On the other hand, Mathias was baffled because he had no idea what was going on.

His eyes widened as he looked at the swirl of green particles that dispersed slowly.

The amount of particles decreased slowly while something was going on in the center of the swirl.

Something was created in the swirl, something that required all the energy the Treant had accumulated in its life.

Yet, what neither Mathias nor Nial noticed was that they misunderstood the situation.

Nothing new was being created. Instead, something was invigorated and empowered by the life force and energy of the Treant.

Every single green particle represented a portion of the Treant\'s former life, what it had gone through and how much power it had accumulated so far.

It might have died without giving them a tough time but that didn\'t mean it had been weak in any way.

Nial, Mathias, their weapons and abilities had just been too powerful for the Treant.

While their whole attention was on the swirl of particles, the two friends didn\'t even realize that their misconception prevented them from realizing that a bright emerald, semi-translucent emblem emerged from the swirl of particles.

Nial was not able to sense anything, to begin with, but even Mathias was not able to see the emblem representing the Ankh, also known as the Key of Life or the Symbol of Life.

The Symbol of Life hovered in the air, and slowly approached Nial before entering his body through his chest the moment a resonance was created between both Nial\'s body and the Symbol of Life.

However, even when the Ankh entered Nial\'s body, he didn\'t sense anything. He was unable to perceive the slightest bit about the things that were happening around and within him.

Oblivious to everything that occurred around him, Nial couldn\'t even perceive that the swirl of particles disappeared the moment the Symbol of Life had appeared.

On the other hand, Mathias was baffled.

\'There is…nothing? What is going on?!\' It was only obvious for Mathias to be confused.

After all, he couldn\'t know that the Symbol of Life was the reason for the Treant to have gained sentience, that the Treant\'s death had freed the Symbol of Life, and that the Treant\'s body merely returned the energy the Symbol of Life had used up to awaken the Treant\'s sentience.

It was also impossible for Mathias to understand that the Symbol of Life had already entered Nial\'s body and that it was aiming for Nial\'s mana core!

The symbol of Life wanted to engrave itself onto Nial\'s mana core. It showed the desire to alter the mana core, strengthen itself, and bring itself to life…true life!

Nial felt a little bit weird but he didn\'t sense anything special because his senses were only slowly recuperating and returning to their peak.

If he would have known what was going on, he might have accepted everything willingly but it was for his best that the young and blind man was oblivious.

His obliviousness allowed the Odyssey seed to react accordingly. Vibrating wildly, the Odyssey seed forced the Symbol of Life to follow its orders.

The Symbol of Life was slowly pulled away from the Mana core, which it had been approaching diligently, with the desire to create new Life.

Yet, instead of being engraved in the Mana core, the Symbol of Life found itself in front of something mythical. It was a ping pong ball-sized grain. It was pitch-black in color and had hieroglyphs embedded on its surface that were crimson in color.

But that was not everything as a white color mixed with the divinity of a Goddess decorated the outlines of the large grain.

Unparalleled might was sealed in the seed that was waiting to be unleashed the moment the vessel was ready to release everything at once.

That was why the Symbol of Life decided to accept binding itself to this unparalleled power.

The Symbol of Life was engraved on the Odyssey seed, where it slowly merged with it and the energies that belonged to the Odyssey seed.

Once the merging process was completed, the Ankh could be seen both inside and outside the Odyssey seed…only its colors had changed. The loop was emerald in color with holy white shining edges that gleamed brightly.

On the other hand the remaining part of the Ankh, the \'cross\' was pitch-black and crimson in color in stark contrast to the holy and green colors that were full of life.

At that moment, something changed about the Odyssey seed as something different appeared inside it.

[Huh…where the hell is this? That is not the mana core from one of these lesser life forms…]

The voice of a young woman resounded in the darkness of the Odyssey seed. Her voice was pleasant to the ear, yet also seducing at the same time.

Everyone, who would hear the young woman\'s voice would instantly be smitten by her as she seemed to be overflowing with vigor, enthusiasm, and life itself.

However, for someone to be smitten by her, someone would have to hear her…

But nothing existed in the space she had just entered. It was as if there was only darkness.

\'Where the hell am I? Did my plan fail? I\'m sure that I sensed a suitable vessel… Was it possible for him to reject it? No that cannot be. A fragment of my Divinity was bound to him, I\'m sure about that! So the only question remaining is…where am I?\'

[Oh? One of the new Divine beings came to pay me a visit. That is unexpected.]

A hoarse voice reached the young woman\'s ear. She was astonished by it. The voice was completely unaffected by her voice\'s bewitching effect.

In fact, the voice didn\'t sound pleasantly surprised as well. On the contrary, it was almost as if that voice was angered about the sudden appearance of the young woman\'s imprint.

If Nial were to hear this voice, he would immediately know who the person talking to him was.

He was very familiar with this voice and had some idea of this person\'s past as well.

It was the late Darkness God, who spoke in the eternal darkness of the Odyssey seed\'s interior.

[How dare a tiny and insignificant Divine being such as you dare to reach for what belongs to me!?!]

The Symbol of Life began shaking in terror the moment unbearable pressure filled the interior of the Odyssey seed.

It was overflowing within the eternal darkness of the Odyssey seed. At least that was what it felt like in the beginning.

However, the young woman, and the divine being, quickly noticed that the unbearable and overflowing pressure was not within the eternal darkness but that it belonged to the eternal darkness.

The eternal darkness in the Odyssey seed had been speaking to the young divine being, instilling terror in its heart when it realized that it had been played with.

[You…who…who are you?]

It was a big loss for the young divine being if it were to lose a fraction of its Divinity. However, she was not sure if that loss was worth it for as long as she could escape the terrifying existence she seemed to have enraged.

[I..I\'m sorry for trying to take what is yours. If…if you allow me to leave, I will never bother your vessel ever again…]

The young divine female being seemed to have misunderstood something. However, it was not the Late Darkness God\'s mission to waste his time talking to her.

[Leave.] He merely said in a final tone after retracting his unparalleled might, allowing the sentience of the Divine female being to leave.

She followed the Late Darkness God\'s order without hesitation, glad to have walked away with her life and soul intact.

If her soul would have been damaged, she might have lost her divinity and everything she had been working for thousands of years.

Thus, even if she lost a fragment of her divinity, it could have been much worse…

\'How can I be so unlucky?!?\' She still complained, wondering how much of a coincidence it must have been to encounter someone, who had already been picked as a vessel for someone else\'s mission to expand their territory.

Little did she know that in reality, everything was different than the divine being presumed and that things were about to change all over…once again!

[Kiddo…looks like your compatibility with divinities is quite high. No wonder that my fragment found you…

You\'re quite lucky, to think that you received a fully empowered fragment of a Divinity and even the Symbol of Life on top of that… Is it just a coincidence, your fortune, or…your destiny?]
