God's Eyes

Fortunately, the two foreign races seemed to fly through different areas of the city, without releasing any mana fluctuations to scan through their surroundings, which was probably because they didn't want to bother about the weak humans below them.

However, from the normal citizens' perspective, two humongous sources of mana flew through the sky, indicating powerful, not officially announced beings, which shocked them greatly, as they ran away in fear if their legs allowed them to.

Some citizens collapsed on the ground, while others shivered in fear when the unsuppressed thick, pressure radiating from the mana fluctuations brushed past them.

Sighing deeply, Jason felt fortunate that the Ganasia and Deepsea scion race envoys didn't fly past them, and Till had to lie if he said that it was unfortunate.

He was still trying to comprehend Jason's words, while Jason thought about the Drake family patriarch and that he was not someone he could take on lightly.

As such, he had to be careful what to say, while revealing that he was Shane and Dalia's disciple could be compared to a death sentence.

Trying to make up his mind, Jason decided to ask Till, what exactly he should reveal and what to leave out.

To this, Till remained calm, as he just said to tell what happened within the four-star rift, while exchanging the information about his unique mana sphere bracelet with him utilizing mana stones.

When Jason heard this, he looked at his bracelet and took it off, in order to store it within his spatial ring, which he also took off in order to put it into his pockets.

As such, nobody should lead to a suspicious background, when he remembered his necklace with the miniature conservatory attached.

Taking it off, Jason figured out that he couldn't store it within his spatial ring.

With a spatial ring and a conservatory on him, he felt suspicious, which led him to ask Till if they could go back to the Fler's house for the moment.

Thinking for a moment, Till also thought that hiding all suspicious items far away would be the best way to look ordinary.

The only things Jason transferred to his storage device were his weapons, some food, and mana stones if someone were to ask anything about it, which was unlikely.

Arriving at the Fler's house once again, they were confused about his early arrival, but seeing him storming into his room and leaving it a moment later, they couldn't help but feel that something was odd.

However, Jason already left the house, with Till waiting for him, as he continued to tell Jason what he should leave out from his experience within the four-star rift.

Till was also not aware of all facts, but from what he knew, Jason could only survive thanks to his master's well-prepared defense measures, which included his mana- grade-2 leather armor.

In the end, nobody would really care how exactly he survived inside the four-star rift because the patriarch would most likely only want to know who the traitors within the four-star rift were, while additional intel would gladly be accepted.

With Jason leaving the four-star rift, Till would take over the explanation, because he took him to the two of them, immediately after Jason woke up.

Afterward, Jason should just behave innocent and as if he was overwhelmed by the situation happening in front of him at that time.

"In the end, you can just say, that Shane and Dalia are strangers and you thought that the two of them were distant friends of Old Drake or me, trying to help Cyro-City to overcome the threat of three foreign races."

Nodding his head, Jason also thought of the same scenario, while he forgot the accessories he received from his masters which would definitely make him suspicious.

As such, he was glad to have asked Till about his opinion, otherwise, it could have become problematic.

Slowly flying towards the park once again, both seemed to be deep in their own world, thinking about all kinds of things, when two overshadowing screams resounded throughout the whole city, filling every living being with the deep sensation of agony, pain, sadness, and immense anger.

These screams turned into cries, that didn't seem to stop anytime soon, as Till was forced to halt his steps.

Jason's eyes suddenly turned wet, without him intentionally thinking about anything sad, with the cries permeating the air around the city with its entire being, infiltrating Jason's deepest core, digging out all kinds of frustrating, sad, and other situations where his whole body was filled with anger.

From his childhood, where he was bullied, his mothers' death, the thought of her killer, the Cerus family behaving as if they cared while doing nothing seriously to help him, to the pain he went through over the last six months….all of that was suddenly brought to the surface, which caused Jason to cry, with thick tears pouring down his cheeks.

'What the hell is happening' Trying to gather his senses, Jason noticed that he was unable to do so, as he averted his gaze to Till, who was trying to sit calmly on the bench, with red eyes and tears pouring down his cheeks.

Sighing deeply, Till tried to prevent Jason from seeing his tears, as he said with sorrow in his voice

"Please tell me exactly what you can see in the foreign race envoys' direction.."

Figuring out that Till wanted to remain strong in front of him, Jason did as instructed, with all kinds of emotions surging to the surface, filling almost his entire mind, which made it more difficult to see something through his wet eyes, as his sight blurred.

'What is this sensation?' Jason never felt like this before and it was abnormal that he and even Till weren't able to control their emotions at the same time, as he stared towards the City's core area.

There, he could see five presumed sovereign ranks, with three of them radiating extremely strong mana fluctuations.

However, that was not the most important thing, Jason perceived because the mana enveloping the two foreign races was fully released, surging through their surroundings without differentiating between high-grade materials, soil.

Fortunately, nobody else was immediately next to them, otherwise, every single living being at the lower ranks would have been crushed, by the erupting mana, which flickered violently as it spread further.

The fluctuations thinned out the further it spread, but what Jason saw and felt coming from these radiating mana fluctuations, were pure emotions.

His senses became much clearer when he noticed that, as he thought, not without showing a confused expression.

'These emotions radiate from the foreign races? Are they mourning their deceased?!'

Jason was extremely confused, as Till behind him explained.

"We call this explosion of emotions within the mana 'reminiscence-ceremony' because the exact same phenomenon happens, every time the foreign races come to our Islands or even Canir to take the deceased back...However, the envoys never change in their facial expressions, which is a weird contrast."

Still overwhelmed by the feelings that came back to the surface, he mumbled

"They cry inwardly and release their emotions within the mana….", which was heard by Till, who could only nod his head, as he sighed.

"They also express humane emotions...huh?"

Not knowing what to answer, Jason felt also extremely weird, but there was no pity in his wet eyes, because the foreign race envoys that died, didn't care a tiny bit about mankind and how many died because of them too.

Rather than that, he noticed that his tears started to dry up, as he steeled his heart, thinking about the chaos that overcame humanity because of the foreign races, that behaved as if everything belonged to them.

They were definitely stronger than humans, but even if that was the case, humanity was still alive and didn't cease to exist.
