God's Eyes

Standing right amidst all Celestias that had formed a loose circle around him, Jason's golden shine attracted the most attention.

Everyone was staring at him as if they were spellbound, and only a few were moving.

It was crystal clear that Jason was powerful, and many were eager to figure out just how strong he truly was.

But their prejudice against him had yet to die.

It was a fact that Jason was a halfling, even if he had been purified by one of their Gods.

The impurities that had permeated his body might have purged off, but the last remnants were still within him.

And the same could be said about his bloodline.

Though it had only merged partially, it was now an integral part of his body and entire being which meant that the Agran bloodline was something that nobody could take away from him.

Even the portions that were not merged was not something anyone could take from Jason.

As such, it was awkward for all Celestias to see Jason amidst them, shining in a golden color that was far more majestic than their own silverish-white shine.

Their aura might seem more divine, and holy, but it was Jason, who felt and seemed like a majestic being that reigned over all existences.

Meanwhile, Jason was quite relaxed while being surrounded by the Celestias which was a surprising thing.

They were the reason for his pain and sorrow, for his loss of the soul world, and to be separated from almost everyone he held dearly.

This was something he couldn't forgive easily.

But that didn't mean he would annihilate the entire Celestia race, or do something as stupid as that.

After all, every single God and possible candidate to become a God was desperately required to fight the forces of the Veil.

Jason had spent a long time researching the existence of the Veil for quite a bit, but there was not much information available.

The only thing Jason could tell for sure was that the Veil connected their merged Universes to a different Universe.

And the existences that emerged from the Veil once in a while were not only ferocious, but they corroded parts of their universe as well.

The beings that reached them were deadly, and reeked of foul intent.

However, the most important was that they seemed to deprive the Universe from fractions of its energy the more and the longer the corroded beings were able to reside on their lands.

That only meant one had to kill them as quickly as possible.

If only one point where the Veil was located were to exist, this wouldn't even be a problem.

But ther were many anchor points where the Veil had emerged, and the cracks in the void seemed to increase in number and size over time!

They were slowly growing in number and enlarging, creating more and more problems for the already low number of Primordials.

As such, killing even one of the Primordials would pose a huge problem.

That was the case because it seemed because only Gods were said to be able to take back the energy of the Universe which the corroded beings wrongfully snatched back from them.

Furthermore, there were ways to temporarily close the Veils, and stop them from enlarging.

But all of this required the power of more Gods, which was the crucial issue in the given situation.

And that was were the Primordial Gods would come into play.

In each Universe, only one Primordial God was said to exist.

Being the unparalleled existence in a Universe, they reigned everything.

According to the legends he had read in the Divine library, the number of Universes that were merged together during Shima's birth were five.

This would mean that five Primordial Gods could exist and serve as a foundation to halt the growth of the number of Veils.

Apparently, Primordial Gods could even close them permanently, but that was not something Jason could say for sure.

After all, first Primordial God, who was also a Celestia hadn't been seen since the first days of Shima's creation.

On the other hand, news about other Primordial Gods were either known, or the knowledge of their existence and identity restricted to be known by only a handful of existences.

But neither were named in the history of the Divine Library.

As such, it was obvious for the other Celestias to be interested in him.

He had been acknowledged by the sentience of the first Primordial God even before his Tertiary bloodline awakening, along with receiving the rights to read and practice the Kanadi of a Primordial technique.

At the same time, the fact that he was already in possession of three God's Halos spoke volumes about his potential, and that he was, at least comparable to Royal Celestias in terms of talent.

After all, the fourth and final bloodline awakening would awaken, at least, one more God's Halo within him!

Knowing all of this, especially the fourth point left him with no reason to be scared of the Celestias around him.

On the contrar, they were in dire need of him as the issues revolving around the Veils increased drastically!

They required a new Primordial God, and even if he might not become one, at the very least, Jason was bound to become one of the strongest Celestia Gods.

The number of Royal Celestias was little, and having another one meant that the pressure weighing on everyone else would decrease drastically.

That was also the reason why Celestia God Caesar had been reluctant to kill Jason, knowing that he was an important resource for the future.

While thinking about ways on how to provoke others to fight him, Jason's battle intent was constantly increasing, and sweeping through every single Celestia.

Everyone could clearly sense that he was ready to fight, that he radiated no killing intent but simply wanted to find out just how strong he was in comparison to others.

While mostly communicating through their aura, those around him could determine the remnants of anger directed towards them, but that was mostly because they had deprived him of something important.

They understood this, and took it as a sign that they had to give their best to lure Jason to their side as well.

And this was something one could easily achieve by getting to know one another while sparring with all their heart.

However, what the Celestias didn't know was that his Agran bloodline, and the third God's Halo allowed Jason to feel far more emotions than any other Celestia, without being severely affected.

As such, emotions such as anger were restricted in terms of their influence on the Celestia aura.

On the other hand, his battle intent and other advantageous emotions received a boost, positively influencing his aura.

All of this was currently showcased to the other Celestias, who were now less wary of him.

They began to believe that Jason could possibly become one of them.

Because of that sensation, the first Celestia at the Late ranks of the Driekta stage flew towards Jason, before stretching out his hand with a faint smile on his face.

"Welcome to the Divine Colosseum. The Celestia race, your new family, is here for you!"

Jason nearly flinched when he heard the Celestia speak so warmly.

He had only two God's Halos, but the energy that radiated from him ensured that he was not to be taken lightly.

Thus, Jason forced himself to smile lightly before he shook the hand of the Celestia,

"Thanks…how about a spar to welcome me?"
