BXBX NOVEL Chapter 567 - Life’s Debt
It had become monotonous, but that was not what caused Jason to feel affected.
What affected him was the fact that he found a huge imprint of something extremely profound that caused Jason to gulp nervously.
Under the profound imprint, or whatever it was, Jason was able to see crimson eyes piercing into his being.
Behind the crimson color was a lattice composed of faint strands of gold, Jason found extremely familiar, but he couldn\'t focus on that as he stumbled backward.
[What are you afraid of? Don\'t you belong to the mighty Celestia race? If you\'re already afraid of a soul\'s fraction, you shouldn\'t even think of leaving Argos!]
Jason calmed himself, noticing that there was no hostility radiating from the being that spoke to him..
His curiosity and thirst for knowledge overwhelmed him as he blurted out
"Soul\'s fraction? So...there is a fraction of your soul within me?!? How does that make sense? Why??"
If Jason had been just confused earlier on hearing the voice for the first time, now he was thoroughly rattled to hear the voice. It was evident that he didn\'t understand everything that just happened.
[Didn\'t Mina inform you about everything? She is always impatient, how can she not have told you about everything yet?? Maybe she changed while I was hibernating..?]
Through these words, Jason realised that the being whose fraction of a soul was sealed inside his body was on friendly terms with his mother!!
The memory of his mother brought forth mixed emotions; a dry smile along with a tinge of sadness.
"My mother died more than 10 years ago, murdered by a descendant of one of the big families on Argos...."
Jason didn\'t like mentioning it, but he knew that staying secretive about this was not what he was supposed to do.
He was still overwhelmed with what was going on and understood less than before as everything turned even more complex for him.
Out of a sudden, the profound imprint that gleamed in a black light expanded as a terrific pressure was released.
It oppressed Jason, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. While he gasped for air, he noticed that his entire surrounding turned into a torment stream of dark blue energy that spread through the endless void.
A thunderous roar resounded within Jason.
At that moment, the torment energies within Jason broke through the endless void, seeping out of his body, tearing open his skin.
Terrific pressure filled the entire colosseum, incomparable with the shallow oppression Jason had released earlier.
Nobody was able to breathe properly, and it felt like a monstrous being had emerged from within the shadows.
Even Wisse was unable to move his body, let alone breathe properly as his mind was running wild.
\'Who the hell is this youth?!?!\'
Only a few seconds later the pressure disappeared, releasing everyone, and returning to Jason as if it had never existed in the first place.
The same occurred within Jason\'s deepest part of the conscience as he was still asleep, unaware of the chaos he had created outside.
Somehow, the being had calmed down, or at least it seemed so as it asked him.
[So...Mina is really dead?] The voice sounded pained which caused Jason\'s pain to resurface.
He just nodded his head unsure what to say as he couldn\'t just question the mysterious soul\'s fraction about everything while it was processing the death of someone it had held dearly!
Jason knew how it felt to lose someone you wanted to hold close, and it was a hard process to get back on your feet and continue, but a necessary step to overcome the pain.
At that moment, Jason heard something that caused him to squint his eyes in confusion.
[Maybe she knew it from the beginning, from the time she had to sever the connection with her soulbonds, and destroy her cultivation to return to Argos…]
If the being\'s words were to be true, it would mean that his mother had been extremely strong. It also meant that she had been forced to use every means to decrease her strength, only to use the world bridge...to safely bring him to Argos!
But why? Was there an important reason to do this, or was it just that his mother had wanted him to live in peace without anyone reducing him to the halfling he was?
The being could perceive the thoughts Jason had as its soul\'s fraction had merged with the young Jason, allowing it to understand certain things.
Thus, it decided that it was time to explain a few things to Jason, instead of dragging everything for longer.
It didn\'t have much time to converse with Jason anymore as they had wasted enough time already.
[To put it simply, your mother was hunted due to certain circumstances, and even your father couldn\'t do anything about it. This was mostly because he was the only Celestia who accepted your mother into their rows, while the others tried to shun her.
The details would take too long to explain. To put it simply, when your mother noticed that she was pregnant with you, she searched for me and requested my help. She just wanted to return to Argos, where you could grow up without any problems.
Apparently, this seemed to have worked partially because you are still alive which is the good news...I guess. As for the soul\'s fraction within you….I\'m only here to repay my Life\'s debt because your mother\'s eyes helped me when I had been in a perilous situation.
Nevertheless, she was a good woman, and someone who didn\'t deserve dying like that...the time I spent with her and her parents was truly something I will never forget…]
The mention of his grandparents made a thousand questions swirl through his mind once again.
Unfortunately, he was unable to find the right words as he sensed the soul\'s fraction piercing him with its gaze.
[Brat, my debt is also the reason I used a small fraction of my soul to save hers! How do you think a human with the bloodline of a Celestia was able to be birthed by an ordinary woman? A mere mortal whose strength had aggravated to that of the Mortal stage at that!
Don\'t underestimate your own race, and believe me if I say that you shouldn\'t forcefully remove more seals than you can handle!!
I was only slowly awoken from my hibernation because I noticed that the Soul fraction\'s power was drained when you had almost turned into an Infernal Celestia!
Fortunately, your father was not completely helpless and assisted you, otherwise, it would have become ugly to save you while ensuring that the seals stayed intact!!]
\'You\'ve sealed my power?\' Jason wanted to blurt out, but at that moment, he noticed that he was drawn out of the depths of his body as his eyes flew open to see the God\'s Children looking at him curiously.
There were only a few last words that resounded in his mind.
[Don\'t even dare to use more of my power if it\'s not necessary!! I\'ll return to my slumber, and don\'t think about touching my imprint either!! Just behave, will you?!?]
