Odyssey of the Blind God

After he heard the news about the Angel Kingdom, Nial was about to rush out of the Orion shelter but suddenly halted in his tracks.

'Even if I attack them now, I might not even encounter Bella…I have to know where she is, otherwise, she may never reveal herself.'

Nial's expression turned dark when he thought about the friend he once had just turned into one of the people he hated the most. It was frustrating and Nial knew very well that it was only the beginning. There would be more people in the future turning against him, more accomplices or friends turning into foes. That was also why he tried to reduce the chances of someone going against him by befriending as few people as possible.

He could tell that a few origin humans would go against him in the near future but that was not really important because these origin humans were much weaker than him. Furthermore, those who were Artisans and Adventurers in his organizations couldn't leave that easily. There were a few more complications that would dawn upon them if they were to break the restrictions that had been created for every party signing the Soul Contracts. Nial had separately customized unique restrictions for the members of his organizations depending on certain factors.

He was not actually worried about anyone betraying him. Rather, it was more worrisome that his dark energy pulsated wildly within every single cell in his body when the Angels had been mentioned.

Even if the Angels were not directly at fault for the death of his mother, they protected their Saintess, the being who had entered the body of his former friend.

Nial was not yet sure whether the Saintess had reincarnated within Bella or if she was merely granted the memories of the Angel race's Saintess. In the end, none of that really mattered because the answer wouldn't bring his mother back from the dead!

While being seated in his large villa inside the Orion shelter, Nial sighed deeply. He knew that he should be doing something but rushing outside and cluelessly searching for someone was a waste of time. The news of the Angel Kingdom might have reached him, however, he actually didn't even know where the Angel Kingdom was located, or where it was supposed to be.

"I should send out a few hundred Scouts to collect information, rather than blindly rushing out of the shelter…" Nial mumbled mostly to himself, just to note that a warm hand patted his shoulder.

It was Miles, his father, who was trying to console him. Miles was often outside the Orion Shelter, completing the missions he was given by the Royal Princess. Though the relationship between the Elven Races and the Origin Humans had changed quite a bit, that didn't apply in the case of Miles and the Royal Princess.

Miles was the person who had raised Nial and was the most important individual for Nial. That was more than enough reason for every Elf to treat him with respect, no matter what.

Miles didn't like that he was treated well due to his son because he would rather be treated well for the person he was- someone who had a good heart and treated everybody with the same respect he would want in return, but it was not as if he could do something against the mindset of the Elven.

"I would rather hear some news of your delinquent sister…that little pest didn't even think of messaging us once…" Miles said sadly, and Nial couldn't agree more.

If not for the Medallion of Life in the possession of his little sister, they wouldn't even be able to tell whether Sabrina was alive or not. That was another frustrating factor, something Nial would have rather avoided, if possible.

"The next time I see her, I will drag her back to you," Nial said, unable to tell when that would actually be the case. It had been more than ten years since Sabrina disappeared and it was about time that she came back.

The exact same could be said about Mathias, whom Nial hadn't seen for just as long as a decade.

Thinking about his sister and Mathias, Nial's excitement to finally get revenge died down in an instant. He used his messenger crystal and sighed deeply before he gave a command through the weakly shining blue crystal.

"Prepare 1000 Originals at the Deux rank or higher. I want them to collect as much information about the Angel Kingdom as possible. Give me everything you can find…and don't disappoint me!" Nial ordered somewhat calmly before he heard a "Roger that!" from the other side of the messenger crystal.

Nial switched off the messenger crystal after that and he spent some more time with his father.

After a few hours, Nial returned his focus to increase his strength and prepare a thorough attack upon the Angel's Kingdom. There have yet to be some beings at the Trixor rank on Jundra, but the number of Mythician Originals had increased drastically. Ryu, Tyrant, and Kaeldur finally advanced to the Keltia rank but that was already it.

Erio was still at the Mythician rank, obviously, while the same could be said about Shadowmancer Dexter. The only thing that changed about Dexter was that he had amassed a small army of powerful Shadows inside him. He could unleash them wherever he wanted, wreaking havoc in an instant!

Nial had created his third Darkness Pillar and it was only a matter of time before his fourth Darkness Pillar would be erected. He was not afraid of facing a Mythician-ranked Original, though he was not actually sure whether or not it would be possible for him to beat the shit out of a Mythician Archangel.

Given that his dark energy was already going on a rampage at the thought of fighting Angels, Nial could tell that his strength would be amplified the moment he encountered them. At the same time, it was quite obvious that he would lose his reasoning while fighting as the dark energy that resides in every cell of his body would take charge.

'There is enough time to prepare…just calm down and give your best!' Nial told himself, knowing damn well that he had everything he needed to become stronger as quickly as possible.

He had the necessary wealth, cultivation resources, and even connections.

His connection could be further used to search for Bella while his people would gather information about the Angel Kingdom. The Angels were not that interesting to him and he would not even pay them a second worth of his attention if not for Bella being their Saintess.

Of course, that was more than enough for him to hate the Angels. After all, they protected someone he had started to loathe from the bottom of his heart!

Time passed eerily slowly but Nial didn't allow anything or anyone to bother him. He chose to summon more of the Late God of Darkness' Devils with the Awakening of the Prymal ability.

In fact, Nial amplified the power of the Awakening of the Prymal ability by binding it to one of the three Darkness Pillars. That could be considered foolish but Nial didn't want to amplify the Vengeance of Chaos ability since he could hardly control its unfathomable power right now, and his other abilities could be enhanced later.

Of course, things were a little different with Dominion. He bound it to the Darkness Pillar without hesitation, understanding the potential of the ability that could wreak havoc wherever it was activated!
