BXBX NOVEL Chapter 542 - Limbo
"What do you think you are doing?"
She immediately turned around and saw Bastain staring at her with cold eyes. Her cultivation at the Early Primary Sun Domain Stage could not put any resistance against the man\'s soul force.
"Bastian, do you dare to protect a heretic who defied the Gods\' decrees." Usually, the woman would never dare to speak to the man like that, but her zealot mentality pushed her forward regardless of the danger.
"Hmph, since when someone who is not even at the Supernova Domain Stage dares to speak in the name of the Gods. Your arrogance could easily be considered a grave sin." After speaking those words, Bastian\'s soul force pressured the woman with even more strength.
When a battle appeared imminent, a new voice echoed through the city.
"Enough." It was a simple word spoken in a calm tone, but its power neutralized both Bastian and the woman.
The Peak Rank 6 Divine Legend gave a sharp glance at the duo, making them look down. His name was Kurt, and he was the Gods\' Hero stationed in Saint City.
He had a muscular body, and the power of the Earth and Fire Essences impregnated every fiber of his being, making his aura appear like a raging volcano capable of erasing entire civilizations in a fraction of a second.
After handling Bastian and the woman, he turned toward the unconscious man on the ground, and a thoughtful light appeared in his eyes.
Usually, someone of his status would not bother with these petty disputes, but the events that led to this current situation were extremely bizarre.
The world was not a fairy tale where the hero would display his power at the last second and save his friends. Although it was not impossible for such a thing to happen, it raised the Gods\' Hero\'s suspicion.
Kurt\'s consciousness infiltrated Orin\'s body and soul, thoroughly inspecting him. Still, after an entire minute, he found nothing out of the ordinary other than the sign of a different Path of Power in his soul dimension, something that fitted the information received from the duo.
"Tell me everything that happened, and do not skip a single detail."
Bastian and the woman did not dare to disobey and immediately began to relate everything that transpired, this time with more details.
While their histories were full of biases, with the woman constantly downplaying Orin\'s courage and Bastian doing the opposite, Kurt got a pretty good picture of the events outside the city.
Basically, Orin was a brave hero who cared very much for his friend and hated the Magi. As for the fact that he cultivated a forbidden path, while it was a crime, it was not an unforgivable sin like the fanatic thought.
Kurt would not have hesitated to pull Orin into his battalion if that were all, but the Gods\' Hero still felt that something was wrong.
"Tell me, who is the one with the deepest connection to this man?" Kurt turned toward Bastian, and the severity in his expression showed the importance of the question.
While Bastian was confused and did not understand what Kurt was after, he did not dare to remain silent and immediately responded.
"The one closest to Orin would be Hukin. They have been together since their childhood, and their connection is intense..." Bastian made a slight pause, and a sad expression appeared on his face as he continued, "Unfortunately, she was among those that perished under the Gods\' Slayer\'s spell. I believe that was the reason Orin pushed himself to such an extreme and ended in this condition."
Kurt frowned when he heard that. That woman was just what he needed since she could have told him if there was anything odd with Orin before or during the fight, even if it were just the way he looked at her.
Bastian and the rest of the group could not capture those changes, especially with a Gods\' Slayer looming over them, but someone who met Orin for her entire life could have perceived something in those few seconds.
He could be sure that Orin had done nothing wrong if he read the Legend\'s soul, but his ability did not focus on that area, so it would be the same as killing him.
Some Gods\' Heroes focused on the soul and could read Orin\'s memories without causing irreversible damage, but they were all too busy protecting the remaining strongholds.
If the Divinity Faith Army situation were not so dire, the Gods\' Hero would have killed this genius Legend to avoid any surprise, but losing mighty warriors was not something he could afford right now.
After a moment of deliberation, Kurt made a decision.
"Take him to Limbo. Once he wakes up, inform him that we will decide on what to do with him during the next Gods Heroes Assembly."
Kurt\'s decision provoked complicated expressions on those who heard them. Some thought the Gods\' Hero was too soft, while others believed the treatment was unfit for a savior.
However, no one dared to rebuke Kurt since his authority was not something they could challenge.
Two heavy armored Divine Legends took the unconscious Orin from the ground and flew toward the center of Saint City, where there was a grand and majestic castle.
Nevertheless, their true destination was not the castle but the powerful magic formation built a few hundred meters away from it.
Once they reached it, one of the guards took a metal orb from his space ring and began to inscribe a complex formation in it.
After almost three minutes of inscribing, the guard finally completed the key, and the trio vanished.
