BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 Shaken Realms
Sure he felt as if it was better to die. But he didn't give up. He kept his head high. And even with his eyes that looked like he had given up on life, he still had as much vigor as when he was alright, if not even more.
And seeing that, Aria was proud of him. Hours had passed but Kye didn't let the pain consume him. He could have as well died if he had fainted, even for a second. She even had a smile on her face. A motherly smile. It was as if she was a mother who was proud of his son for his courage and determination.
As for Ras, even though he had a pained expression on his face because even he was hurt when looking at Kye's condition, in reality, he was thrilled and excited. He knew very well that Kye wasn't anywhere near his strength, but he was still excited to know someone like him. It was clear that Kye's future was bright, and if he could nurture this future, even a little, he would gladly do so.
"Aria can I give him a friend seal as well?"
"Why are you even asking me?" She smiled hearing that. She knew that sooner or later, Ras would have given Kye his seal, but she didn't expect it this soon. "Just don't add more pain upon him now since he won't be able to withstand it. His life was weighing on a thread for hours now, so don't be the nail that will push him away."
"Yes, don't worry!" His earlier expression now had a smile on his handsome face. Deep down, he was a little scared that Aria wouldn't let anyone else give him a friend seal. But he worried for nothing because Aria would never have done that. Such a thought didn't even cross her mind.
She was ready to teach Kye as many things as she could. And if others could do so as well, then she would be glad. Especially coming from Ras.
Kye now had wings, and it was hard to learn everything on his own. And as a phoenix, Ras will with no doubt be able to teach him a thing or two. He could even teach him how to manipulate his energy so that it could have a more beneficial effect since his flames had much more use than just burning and healing itself.
And just as she thought that Kye stopped screaming. Aria and Ras looked at each other before looking toward Kye. Only to see him fall face first on the ground. Thankfully for him, Aria managed to make a soft water platform which made Kye land on it.
Not that it would have hurt him a lot in the first place. Kye's body was now a lot more stronger and resistant than before, so it wasn't a gentle fall that would have damaged him.
"Is it over?" Ras asked seeing the new Kye. While he was probably only around 170 centimeters earlier, he was now around 185. He also looked way more handsome than before. Otherworldly, exactly like Ras. His face also looked more mature, but it still majority conserved its cute side.
"Seems like it," Aria nodded as she clean the giant pool of blood in a matter of a second before slowly putting Kye on a comfy bed.
She and Ras looked at his sleep soundlessly, almost as if he had completely forgotten about his earlier pain.
"Why does he look more cute than handsome?" Ras asked after a minute of silence.
"Pfft, hahaha," Aria chuckled hearing his remark. She hadn't expected that one bit. "Leave him be. There are already too many handsome guys in this world. A few cute boys won't hurt anyone."
"Hmm, fair enough," Ras chuckled as well before both of them went away.

Once Kye's suffering had come to an end, different people in different realms had different expressions on their faces.
On the higher level of heaven, a beautiful woman, prettier than any other being in the world had a smile on her face.
"Does something happen?" A man that looked like her servant asked.
"Nothing much. Just the beginning of a new era," She even had a motherly smile on her beautiful face.
***
A few lower levels in heaven, what looked like an angel council had a frown on their face.
"Why does his seat light up again?" A woman asked. She wasn't as pretty as the other woman, but as an angel, she was still superior to your normal beings.
"It is strange," An old but handsome man said. "His seat light up for only a second before it dyes down into nothingness the moment after.
"Does that mean that he will come back?" Someone else asked.
"I do not think so. He had fallen long ago and is infertile. So no one would be able to take his seat.
"But what if someone does?" A young woman asked.
"Then we won't be able to do anything," A man who was seating at the end of the table asked. "This seat belongs to him, and it is in heavens rules that no one can oppose someone's rightful seat in our heavenly council."
"What do you mean by that, Scribe?" A fat angel asked. "He is the demon himself. How can he or his nonexistent descendant could take his seat back?"
The man known as Scribe looked at him and smile. "It is neither you nor I who made the rules. They had been made long long ago, even before our grandparents were born, and they can not be changed, no matter if everyone opposes it or not."
"But can we let him take back his seat?" A young angel that looked in his fourteen, but who is in reality very old asked.
"We're assuming things for nothing," A woman that looked in her forties answered. "His seat only lit up for a second before dying down. So it might as well just be an error. There's no need in staying on that matter longer."
"But-..." The young man tried to say but got interrupted by the scribe.
"Let's continue today's meeting, shall we?"
***
In the deepest part of hell, the man that the angel's council was talking about was present. And he couldn't help but smile like a proud father.
"Does something happen, my king?" A handsome demon with light blue hair asked.
"Nothing you need to worry about, Asmodeus," Even though he said that, he still had his smile on his face. A smile that didn't want to go.
'You finally began your evolution, Kye,' He thought with excitement as the day he was waiting for now almost two decades was slowly but surely getting closer.
***
While both realms were shaken by this sudden phenomenon, Kye who was the center of the talks was still sleeping soundlessly, without a care in the world. Not that he could have imagined what was awaiting him in the future.
