God's Eyes

There was no real reason for Jason to decline Wisse's offer, and he was quite interested in meeting his master too.

However, he pondered about the latter reason Wisse had given him.

'True dark horse that not many races know of….even I don't know what makes me a dark horse!!'

Jason could only curse inwardly, and think that he still had a long way to go.

Yet, considering Wisse's offer to help him with mankind, the treaty of the Olympus federation and his own race as well as destroying several world bridges, Jason couldn't help but think that Wisse's biggest motive to help him was the first one.

'I wonder what rewards he gets for bringing me to his master. Is his master some sort of a talent scout or is it because of the chaos attribute of the mysterious being that left its soul fraction within me?'

Clearing his throat, Jason revealed the truth.

"To be honest, I have no idea what the chaos attribute is and how I was able to release it for a short amount of time. It is still a riddle for me too. So please don't expect too much from me.

Is your master searching for talent, or is it some sort of a trap to devour me and absorb my energy?"

He sounded calm, but his eyes pierced through Wisse, making him realise that Jason was not blindly following him, despite the great offer he had given to the young halfling.

Taking a deep breath, Wisse calmed down his impatient self as he said.

"If you want, we can form a soul pact that prevents us from lying to each other for the next hour.

Every lie will cause unbearable pain to the soul of the person who spoke it. Nothing will be destroyed, and we can simply choose not to answer if we don't want to.

Is that fair enough?"

Wisse didn't not only plan to earn Jason's trust but he was also eager to figure out several things about the young halfling!

Amongst the most important questions, he had in mind was Jason's origin, and this didn't mean his human bloodline.

In the end, Wisse was the most curious about the other bloodline Jason had within him.

How could the young dragon have known that his entire perspective of the way he viewed the world and the things around him would be shaken in the following hour?

Jason agreed to the idea because it would solve his trust issues in the easiest possible way.

His gut feeling told him that he could trust Wisse, which was the biggest reason for Jason to even consider traveling with him to Tagran, but his gut feeling was not everything.

The alarm clocks in his body were ringing wildly, and it was obvious that he had to pay attention to the next steps he was taking.

It wouldn't be long before the liberation tournament would resume, but they were able to set up the soul pact of truth, and spend one hour talking to each other freely before Jason left Wisse's apartment.

The young dragon's eyes were foggy, and he held the long-distance messenger crystal in his trembling hand as he sighed deeply.

"Master will never believe me when I tell her everything…"

Despite this though, Wisse knew that he had to tell his master about the information he had just obtained.

He was not sure if his heart could handle another shock after what he had found out about Jason, and Wisse could only hope that his master wouldn't lecture him, or call him a fool for believing every single word Jason had said.

Who would believe that the descendant of the Celestia race had been born on Argos, in the body of a normal mortal?!

Only fools would, but Wisse was one of those fools who believed every word Jason uttered. It was not only caused by the soul pact of truth but also owing to the other factors and detailed descriptions of a Celestia shared by Jason .

Even if Jason's words about his bloodline being sealed by something powerful were true, there was no way that a baby of a mere human and a divine Celestia could be born.

It shouldn't even be possible for a Celestia and a human to encounter each other, to begin with!

While Wisse was doubting his entire existence and everything he had learned until now, his grasp on the long-distance messenger crystal loosened before it fell to the ground.

"Was Master correct when she said that the chaos within the universe is increasing? But...that can't be because of Jason only, right?"

Wisse was just blurting out things he could recall from his master's teachings while trying to make sense of everything.

It was only half an hour after Jason had left his apartment that Wisse regained his senses once again.

Picking up the long-distance messenger crystal that had only two uses left, he decided that the information he had procured was of extraordinary importance.

After being contacted for the second time in a short period, the Chaos dragon couldn't help but wonder what was going on with her youngest disciple.

'Even if the young halfling is interesting, with Wisse's intellect and pride, it shouldn't be necessary to call me again.'

Her thoughts were logical, but never could she have imagined the first words her talented disciple said next.

"Liea, the halfling I was talking about... is a fucking Celestia!!"

The last two words that left Wisse's mouth were filled with every possible emotion he could have inserted in them, emotions that he had accumulated throughout the last half an hour.

He was not even sure how he should feel right now, and the young dragon only knew that his commentary about 'seeing who will be stronger' was rendered insignificant.

Even if he was a true dragon, his bloodline was not pure, and the existence he had challenged was not a mere human with the bloodline of a grand or superior race, but the Celestia race!!

Goosebumps sprang upon his entire body as he waited for his master and the Chaos Dragon, Liea's answer.

However, even after a minute passed, there was no answer from her. Wisse was beginning to feel restless when he heard a surprised whisper.

"Are you sure?"

Initially, Wisse was not sure what to answer, but in the end, he decided to reveal all the thoughts that were on his mind.

"I'm afraid that he is not lying...we made a soul pact of truth, and even if it's possible to find loopholes to prevent sharing the entire truth, Jason didn't hesitate to answer even the most complex questions I asked.

At least, if he knew the answers, he didn't hold back. His description of the Celestia race's beings was extremely detailed too.

It might as well be more detailed than the description of the Celestia race in the ancient tomes...but that's not even the weirdest part…"

Liea, the Chaos Dragon, had already disregarded the fact that Wisse had called her through the emergency messenger crystal that was supposed to only be used in life-threatening situations. Intrigued, she asked her disciple,

"What is the weirdest part?"

Since she, the Chaos Dragon, was born in the increasing chaos of the universe, many things had changed.

This may be an ill-founded assumption, but the fluctuating chaos had started to intensify for more than a century.

Owing to that, Liea had become much stronger, and at a rapid pace, but that was exactly why she was able to tell that something huge was about to happen.

Too many wars had started, and the large planets reigned by a multitude of races had suddenly been conquered by stronger races that had always been neutral.

Chaos seemed to have descended, and the most important reason for this was the appearance of children with the blood of several races!

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't have been a huge problem because halflings and mutants had existed since the era of the beginning..

However, what changed everything was the fact that halflings that shouldn't have been able to exist were birthed and raised up, and there were more than one could expect!

Amongst them, were the offsprings of races with repulsive energies that destroyed each other.

This would normally tear apart the child's body, but some miraculous children like Wisse were still born.

He was the child of a true fire dragon and a Dragonoid with a high true ice dragon bloodline.

As such, he should have never been able to survive his birth, let alone childhood, but against all odds he did!

Yet, this was only because of Liea's ceaseless efforts to provide him with the best support and care she could bestow.

Existences like Wisse were rare, but their strength was unfathomable and incomparable to that of their parents.

The very same reason had made races ranked with higher mana to try procreating with other strong races in order to give birth to halflings.

This included even the Ancient races that wanted to fight against the supremacy of the Primordial races that noticed this behavior.

In the end, it didn't work out as planned and the majority of offsprings were stillborns with the chances of a healthy halfling being born decreasing with the strength of a race; the stronger the race the lower were the chances.

The torment energies within the unborn offspring were just too strong, and only a few miraculous halflings were born in the rows of the higher-ranked races, bringing forth even more chaos.

Yet, Wisse wanted to tell her that there was something even weirder than the birth of Jason, a halfling from a race that had yet to reach the threshold to be called common race, and a Celestia? Was that even possible?
