God's Eyes

The number of soul energy units Solaris had annexed was 10,000. This was the threshold a magical rank beast could take on the most.

However, Solaris was neither a beast, had limited potential, nor was the magical rank relevant for Jason and his soulbonds anymore!

Important was just the fact that Solaris had burned around 15,000 soul energy units and annexed 7,000 units, which decreased Jason's soul energy units to slightly more than 210,000.

There was still more than enough left, but what confused Jason was that he was able to perceive the Creato flame within Solaris!

This was weird and he began to ask himself what this could mean as Solaris had already answered everything with a simple transmitted thought.

[You can learn how to steal life force as long as you absorb enough Creato flames? Ugh...I hope you mean from beasts you evade and not from me…]

Jason was sure that Solaris wouldn't try to drain his life force, but the thought was scary and he couldn't help but visualize it.

He shivered for a short moment which the surrounding Ariyor noticed, but Jason was still deep in thought, thinking about what Solaris transmitted him.

'Doesn't that mean Solaris can learn other flame's abilities? That's great! But...also somewhat weird...wouldn't it be more logical to augment the already existing abilities instead of stealing other flame's abilities?'

There was also the fact that Solaris had explained to him.

Apparently, It would need several thousand more Creato flame in order to learn the ability that would allow Solaris to drain one's life force!

At the same time, Solaris even requested him to search for more Ifrytor and Ifry to kill them, so that it could absorb their flames the moment they died!

Jason didn't answer this but instead, he changed the topic.

[Try enhancing your mana nullification ability first...Or the purification ability. It's good to have many abilities, but if your fire's strength is not enough to invade the inner parts of your opponents, a life force draining ability is not that great.

Purifying is great for support and non-combat purposes while nullifying mana is superb and you know that!]

Solaris was already extremely strong and the affinity Jason used the most and it would be great if Solaris would obtain a life force draining ability, but in his opinion, the mana nullification ability would still be stronger.

Nullifying mana could be used for both attacking and defending and Jason was sure that this was the most important; being versatile, efficient, and powerful!.

Thus, he had transmitted those words to Solaris, who had quieted down.

After that, Jason decided to focus on his surroundings and the Ariyor race that was around him.

They were not far from the Shiabi clan's headquarters but he wanted to figure out everything about the Ariyor race as soon as possible.

"This human is weird…"

"Why does he stare at us like that??"

"Does he know other foreign races, or why is he not affected while staying around us? We should be the first foreign race he meets, at least with such a large number...Or did he already fought next to foreign races in Argos' war?"

Unfortunately, Jason didn't hear any new, useful information and the Ariyor race had just begun gossiping with each other.

Only one hour later, did he finally hear something interesting.

"Don't you think that most races exaggerate a little bit? I'm aware of the value the human race holds, but they're not strong enough to be on par with grand races...even with their soul-awakening and the fact that they receive an amplification from the beasts they tame! At most, a few with an extremely high soul-awakening might be on par, but nurturing them won't bring any race enough benefits!"

It was a humanoid Ariyor who had asked this, and a heated debate seemed to start because of his words.

"Exaggerate? There should be around 20 common races and more than 6 higher races who joined this war! That's not exaggerating the value of the human-races value but it's insane! Most of those common races desire the threshold of a higher race and humans have enough potential to achieve that! At least if they were to enter the right environment. With enough resources, a suitable body refining technique, and strong beasts they can tame, one can transform a human into a powerhouse!

At least for most common race's standards! And I was just talking about individuals from the human race with an above-average soul awakening! I think you can imagine what extent high soul-awakenings might allow a human to reach!"

The four-legged beast Ariyor that had said this, looked to the ground, trying to find someone to make an example off as Jason flew past it.

"Just take the winged human as an example! Compared to the other humans, he is extremely young but you should have seen that he arrived with an unconscious Ifrytor that had liquefied 100 drops of mana! He has yet to get into an environment with more mana than the scarce lands we are currently on. Despite that, he attained such a high combat prowess!

If nurtured properly, he should be able to become as strong as we are, a higher-ranked race!!"

Immediately afterward, the large humanoid Ariyor that had spoken to Jason before answered the first, suspicious Ariyor's question too

"Most common races are desperate, and the higher-ranked races are just trying to prevent them from becoming too strong. They fear being conquered too! There is a balance between those races that want to take the human race's soul-awakening ability for themselves. The others that want to prevent that from happening at all costs!

At the same time, there is the Ifrytor race and other races, whether it's a common or higher one, with a huge numerical advantage. They want to create Elite warriors from their common soldiers!

Our stance is different from everyone else's but they're aware of that, which is why most races try to avoid itus.

To put it simply, we might be one of the strongest races that joined this war, if one were to exclude the Myöldra and...Doom Crawls, who can fight against us because of their curse's advantage. However, there are also many races that desperately fight for their survival.

They're threatened to be conquered by other races on a daily basis and upon seeing the human race's soul-awakening potential, it is obvious why so many races began joining this war!

It's relatively quiet right now, but we'll never know when this might change!!"

Jason was flooded with information which caused a light headache, but he was glad that he was able to understand the universal language!

'So it's like that? I should be missing lots of important information, but if I understood everything correctly, the foreign races are divided into three sections as we already expected. But 26 foreign races on Canir… isn't that a little bit over the top?? Are they so desperate, greedy or do they value humans that much?'

The more answers he received, the more questions flooded his mind, and Jason couldn't help but think that it was extremely weird.

Their discussion continued and Jason's mind was overflowing with information when they had finally arrived in front of the Shabi clan headquarter!

'Thank goodness!' He mumbled before diving towards his masters and Emily.
