God's Eyes

Confused about the Sacred Squirrel's sudden action, even Artemis and Solaris, who had just finished their cultivation, couldn't help but stare at the blessed beast.

None of them uttered a sound, and from the looks of it, Artemis had already accepted the Sacred Squirrel, which was something neither Jason nor the other soulbonds had expected because she had vehemently denied letting him have them as soulbonds earlier.

In contrast to that behavior, now she was calm and wasn't even whisking the blessed beast away from herself

Jason could only scratch his head at this thought not knowing why this was the case, but it was quite helpful as Artemis was normally the soulbond that hated it the most when he was binding another new soulbond.

Thus, receiving her acceptance was quite unique, and he didn't even have to think about what he should do right now.

Hence, before she would change her mind he released a thread of his soul world and led it through his arm before it left his body through the tip of his index finger.

Normally, he would now insert the soul thread into the beast he wanted to bind, before waiting for its response.

However, because the Sacred Squirrel was already accepting him, their soul threads collided with each other before the binding process was initiated.

The entire process didn't take long as both sides were willingly accepting the soulbond contract, thus turning it into the fastest binding process Jason had undergone until now.

In the end, he was still baffled why the Sacred Squirrel would want to become one of his soulbonds, but after giving it some thought he realized that the valley was extremely dangerous for the sacred beast.

Though the beast was blessed with not one but four blessings, it was innately weak and didn't have any combat capabilities.

Thus, it was bound to die in the near future, and without Jason, it would have already died by now.

Considering that his Celestia aura also played a big role in the Sacred Squirrel's decision, Jason just accepted the fact that the sacred beast had made up its mind.

He had wanted to ask it if it wanted to follow him on his journey, but only after the Oceanfolk's army had been obliterated.

That was now too late, and Jason clearly understood that he had to think of a distraction so that the Mewi would either not find out about him binding the Sacred Squirrel, or if they did, make them see that everything had a reason.

The former was much easier to be executed, and thus Jason chose to work on it.

Yet, before he could think of something he could say to the Mewi, he had to leave the underground shelter in order to stop wasting more of his precious time!

Unfortunately, this was not possible, because tremendous changes were occurring in Jason's body, causing it to ache heavily.

His entire being began to glow and he felt a total of four blessings that were trying to alter his body, turning him into a vessel to hold them.

To their misfortune, this was easier said than done, owing to the fact that Jason's body was already harboring a total of two curses that were repelling the four blessings that tried to inhabit his body.

This retaliation of both sides, which were like nemesis' fighting against each other, trying to become the only party that was allowed to stay within Jason, were also the reason for the majority of the pain he was feeling.

It was quite annoying, but Jason was already familiar with pain, lots of pain at that. As such, he manifested Solaris within his body as its flames spread through every nerve of his body.

The pain-soothing heat of Solaris' flame made him forget about the pain for a moment, leaving behind itchy eyes and his mind that was flooded with information.

In the end, the massive amount of pieces of information caused him to frown, because they were the memories of the Sacred Squirrel and what it knew about its four blessings.

It was not much, but more than enough to make Jason dizzy as he mumbled in confusion.

"Foretelling, search, weakness detector, and foresight?"

While foretelling and foresight sounded similar, they were, in fact, completely different blessings, which astonished Jason a little bit.

Apparently, the foretelling ability used up a massive amount of blessed energy in order to take a short peek into one single possible path of the future.

Meanwhile, the foresight ability used up little blessed energy in order to take a fraction of a second's look into the future.

However, this was only applicable for things that could happen in the near future, such as what would happen a moment later, and it was restricted to what one saw in their immediate surroundings.

This restriction was not the case with the foretelling ability, that could look at any moment in the future, with the sole requirement to demand more energy the further ahead it lay in the future.

These two blessings were exceptional, and something that caused goosebumps to appear all over his body.

Yet, he found the weakness detector ability to be okayish because it could detect weaknesses in beasts, and only required quite a lot of blessed energy,

On the other hand, the search blessing was somewhat mysterious. Nonetheless, it seemed to be a blessing that gave him the ability to search for specific items, which was quite useful if he was searching for something in particular!

All of the blessings were of great use, but Jason did not have a single trace of blessed energy in himself, and he couldn't activate any of the blessings even if they were trying to inhabit his body, which was somewhat counter-effective.

He hoped that the blessings would adjust themselves to his condition, but Jason doubted that this would happen.

Meanwhile, owing to the Sacred Squirrel's cultivation, all of the four blessings were extremely weak, and it would probably take a long time for them to be of any real use to him.

At least, if they didn't want to drain the entire accumulated energy of the Sacred Squirrel.

As such, transferring some blessed energy from the Sacred Squirrel into his own body was not useful either, even if it would allow him to use some abilities.

This was unfortunate, and several days passed in which the curses harboring in his body, and the blessings found a consensus, were finally able to cohabit peacefully.

Thus, his body was now the vessel for two curses, four blessings, two bloodlines, a fraction of the Chaos Emperor's soul, a soul world with five soulbonds, one soul weapon, and his Emperor Eyes.

Jason was not sure how his body was coping with all of this, but somehow it seemed to work.

In the end, he may not be able to use the four blessings, but they were still altering his body, including his Emperor Eyes that were still itching and aching, even after his remaining body was freed of the pain of being altered.

Because of that, Jason knew that something was changing about his eyes.

Yet, instead of giving it more thought, Jason decided to leave because he was already too late.

He had wanted to return to the shelter a week ago, but the Sacred Squirrel's soulbond contract and the changes in his body had forced him to stay inside the underground shelter for a little bit longer.

As such, he hurried up and moved his soulbonds to his soul world before returning to the surface and the Mewi shelter.

However, on entering the place, Jason was flabbergasted because the entire shelter's look had changed.

It was almost unrecognizable, which was great owing to the fact that there were a total of three defensive walls, hundreds of pits, and all kinds of other traps that had been installed within the forest.

Without using his Emperor Eyes, Jason would have almost run into a few of them as some of them aimed to take down aerial opponents.

As such, he felt overwhelmed by the fact that so much had changed, feeling as if the Mewi would be able to overcome the Oceanfolk army's threat without him.

This would be great, and if he were just a means to support them that would be even greater.

It made him truly happy to see the progress and he almost ran into Brell, who was training hundreds of Mewi at the same time.

Seeing Jason, Brell's expression brightened as he said.

"Jason, here you are. We were looking for you. Is the Sacred beast still with you? We wanted to take a look into the future to tell us how good our chances to win are!

The Grand tribe chief's words almost made Jason twitch.

"Oh…the Sacred Squirrel left me to live on its own inside the valley…." Jason just said, knowing that he was lying. However, in order to prevent the Mewi from misunderstanding the situation, he hastily cooked up a lie.
