Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial didn't want to receive all the focus of the government or the races who were trying to expand their influence in the human shelters.

He had heard enough things to know that there were quite a few races who had employed various tactics to take origin humans under their wing. They became the sponsors of the humans in exchange for the creation of organizations in the human shelters.

Following that, the origin humans backed by other races tried to spread their backer's influence in order to pay back what they owed.

This was just one of many ways for foreign races to exert their dominance and influence in the human shelters. Most of them were trying to take the long route so that they would be able to gain enough influence to leave a permanent mark on the origin human's history.

However, Nial didn't know what these races wanted to do with their influence, or if they might actually be the same as the Linaton and Shelturion race that was trying to get hold of origin humans to turn them into slaves.

Nial would obliterate their influence and teach them a proper, painful and expensive lesson!

And to show everyone that he wasn't merciful, at all, Nial made videos of Baron Iglanon and the other Linaton Ambassadors who were residing in the Otherworldly Residencies inside the other human shelters.

These videos were pretty simple.

Before starting the recording, Nial would threaten the Ambassadors in the exact same way as he had threatened Baron Iglanon. They turned into blabbermouths afterward, hoping that Nial would spare them from further harm.

What they didn't know was that Nial sent the videos of their confession of every single crime they had committed to the Heaven's Gates, which forwarded the videos to the government.

Nial had made use of Dominion to alter the mind of the Linaton Ambassadors to make them reveal and accept every single crime they had committed. He didn't play with their mind too much. He barely influenced them to the extent that they would expose everything and stop shaking in fear, but his influence was too little to be noticed in the video.

Collecting all videos didn't take too long, merely a day.

Some shelters were near to each other, which is why Nial used the teleportation device instead of the teleportation station within the shelters. After all, they made recordings of everyone using the Gates.

The surveillance cameras in and around the teleportation gates recorded everything as well. Thus, Nial used the gates only once to get to the best position before he started to splurge Origin crystals charging the teleportation device.

He moved only within the darkness inside the shelters as well. And if someone got a peek at him, he made sure that they would forget about him with the use of Dominion. This made it look like he had never actually appeared in most shelters.

When he returned, the news about the Linaton Ambassadors had not yet spread. The Heaven's Gates organization was probably investigating the ten videos that had been sent to them and the truth behind the information Melheim had forwarded.

Nial's videos were sent through an anonymous account which he deleted after he received a question from the administrator of the Heaven's Gates website. This was to make sure that they saw the videos and that they wouldn't lose the data after he would delete his account.

Afterward, it was only a matter of time before the secretaries, maid, and guards in the Otherworldly Residencies all over the shelters found the corpses of the Linaton Ambassadors.

Their corpses were twisted, their hearts seemed to have disappeared and their eyes had nearly popped out of the sockets in terror. Additionally, there was no trace of mana left behind in the room.

No clue about the identity of the murderer had been left behind. The runic devices had been destroyed beforehand, the guards, maid and secretaries had never seen someone come in or out of the Linaton Ambassador's office and it was as if nobody except those permitted to enter had ever been there.

However, there was still something the murderer had left behind. It was a small letter, with the same content all over the ten murders Nial had committed on that day.

Yes, it was Nial who had murdered the ten Linaton Ambassadors! Who else could it have been?

Nial didn't see the Linaton race in good light after they used the origin human race in such a distasteful manner. They entered the shelters like samaritans, just to kidnap thousands of origin humans, turn them into slaves, and breed them or use them for worse, if that was even possible, to begin with.

A race that acted in such a way was not worth being considered as a potential ally of mankind. They were different from the Shelturion's rebel army, whose reasons for doing everything were much better.

The Linaton had funded them to build the hidden laboratories so that they could conduct research and had created the Cultivation Drug. The fact that the Shelturion's rebel army created the Cultivation Drug was bad, but they had been in dire need of the funding, otherwise, they would have starved to death, let alone be able to build a small foundation on the Origin.

Supporting the extensive research of Alchemists was certainly not cheap, neither was nourishing slaves to turn them into proper guards nor hiring guards.

As rebels or specifically cowardly rebels, it was very hard to act openly because of the fear that the government would find and eradicate them.

Nial understood the reasoning of the Shelturion, though he didn't acknowledge or support it. Nonetheless, he could overlook their crimes by turning them into his people and exploiting their knowledge and talent. They would receive everything they could wish for in return without even realizing that they were being exploited because they were clueless of their losses and bound to be over the moon.

That was Nial's plan with the Shelturion rebel army. As for the Linaton, it was already kind enough of him that he was trying hard to collect all necessary evidence to prove that the Ambassadors of the Linaton were trash.

The officials of the Linaton race might blame the human government for the death of their people in the human shelters, but that was all they could do. It was not as if any human was at the Deux rank and thus strong enough to infiltrate the Otherworldly Residencies of 10 human shelters in a single day, and without being seen.

The officials of the Linaton race wouldn't wage war with the origin humans, considering that they would think that the anonymous posts on the website of the Heaven's Gate organization were created by an enemy of the Linaton race to distract them.

In the end, the Linaton race was not too intelligent, but they thought highly of the rank of someone's Mana Core. In their eyes, someone at the Prometheus rank would never be able to kill an Original at the Deux rank.

Thus, Nial could be said to have saved mankind from being thrown into a war and simultaneously gave them the opportunity to question the officials of the Linaton race about the recordings which were clear evidence they had received.

The officials of the Linaton race were unlikely to bother about them. They would just say that the Ambassadors had acted on their own accord and that they would remove the Soul Contracts. Maybe they would hand out a small compensation as well, or they wouldn't demand any compensation for being unable to ensure the safety of their Ambassadors in the Otherworldly Residencies.

However, their focus would still be on the investigation of the 10 murders that happened in the span of fewer than 24 hours.

The only clue they had was the letter, written on a machine and in the universal language. It exposed the secrets of the Linaton race and the fact that the government didn't do anything against the scheming of the Ambassadors.

The letter also pointed toward the Heaven's Gates organization, who had been forwarded the necessary information to prove his points.

There were no fingerprints on the letters and they were all identical. A small mark, resembling a mixture of both Tyrant and Kaeldur's face was printed on the letters as if Nial wanted to engrave the signature of his hidden identity onto the letters.

It was almost as if he wanted to expose himself to the world, yet stay hidden from the public eye at the same time.
