Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 133 Fragment Of A God

Chapter 133 Fragment Of A God

"What did you just say?" Nial felt as if his entire body froze at some point.
The voice of the mysterious being echoed through his mind over and over again until Nial felt incapable of speaking.
[To become a God, or to be precise, to become my reincarnation!]
Nial was stunned and had no idea how to react to this answer. In the end, the mysterious voice didn't provide him any further information about what was going on.
Furthermore, there was the fact that the mysterious voice didn't seem to be inclined to reveal why it chose him to become 'its reincarnation'!
"Soo… you are precisely a God, and you want to reincarnate within me? Does that mean, you're dead?"
Nial was unable to understand how it worked so he bluntly asked whatever came to his mind. He was simply too confused about the current situation.
But even if he was confused, becoming someone's reincarnation could be interpreted in two ways.
Either, he would be thrown out of his body, and the fragment would replace him, or he would receive the mysterious being's memories, and thereby its legacy.
The latter sounded the best, but it was less likely.
Nial was also able to think of a third possibility; for both of them to coexist in his body!
[I have lived long enough not to feel like reincarnating, just to undergo all the trials and tribulations that I lived through over and over again. The path of the God Of Darkness is riddled with thorns and unimaginable pain, after all!
But even then, if you are too weak, my fragment will slowly devour you. When it is done, it will allow me to reincarnate within you, and send your soul to the journey afterlife.]
It was hardly possible for Nial to remain calm right now.
He had never asked for this weird fragment that seemed to belong to some sort of Darkness God, or whatever to be thrust upon him.
The pieces of information which he received might help him a lot, but Nial didn't really like the way the conversation was progressing.
[That's why the trials are here. To test you, and to provide you with more power, and everything I told you before…]
This hardly made any sense, which was why Nial couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion.
The entire situation was a mess in his opinion, and the words of the being seemed to contradict themselves as well!
"Why take my eyesight away if I can retrieve it?"
He thus asked straightforwardly.
Right now, his mind was confused. Everything was chaotic, even more so in his mind.
As such, he tried to listen to the next words carefully and it astonished him greatly.
[I never took your eyesight away. You might not recall it, but even as a 3-year-old you were quite feisty. Thus, my fragment reached you, allowing you to survive, in the first place.
Who knows how you lost your eyesight, and what blocked your mana veins? It was definitely not me. I was dead for way too long, and my fragment awoke with your origin.
To be precise, the remnants of energy inside my fragment were what allowed you to stay alive, which forced my fragment to enter a state of hibernation!]
When Nial first heard this, he was unable to believe it.
For his entire life, Nial was certain that the Odyssey seed had been the reason for his pain, and sorrow.
But now he suddenly learned that it was his savior and the very reason for him be still alive. This was ridiculous.
It was hard to accept this, but Nial didn't really see a reason for the mysterious being to lie to him.
After all, Nial was pretty sure that the Odyssey seed could devour him right now!
If a few days ago, somebody would have told him that the Odyssey seed was strong enough to overwhelm him, to allow the Dead God to reincarnate, or something similar to that, he would have laughed at them.
'Considering that it only pulsates when I truly need it, and that the Odyssey seed's dark energy didn't kill me when it had the chance, it might be true…'
The voice sounded tired as well, which gave Nial even more than enough reason to think that the Odyssey seed was just acting on its own accord, and testing him.
It was likely to test whether he was even worthy of undergoing the trial to become stronger, to begin with, and if he was even worthy to be a possessor of the fragment of a God!
All of a sudden, a few memories streamed into his mind, memories about a little toddler, who was wielding dark energy currents as if they were extensions of his limbs.
What followed suit were memories of several years of the toddler's growth that flashed through Nial's mind.
He had no idea why the mysterious voice was doing this to him, and as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing, a specific memory slowed down the moment it appeared in his mind.
The toddler was now a ten-year-old kid, and he was trying to reach some sort of translucent orb.
However, the kid was unable to grasp the orb, which led him to release the dark energy currents that turned into a black whip before they grasped the orb tightly.
Yet, instead of being able to pull the orb down, the kid struggled against it as it devoured all of his dark energy.
Something began to happen to the orb.
And at this moment, dozens of Gods emerged all around the youth, looking at him with fear, disgust, and the intent to kill.
Nial was interested in what happened afterward, but the memories ended.
This disappointed him far more than he had expected, just to hear the mysterious man's voice in his head once again.
[You might not understand what happened there now, but the orb is pretty similar to the one you used in order to assess your talent in the Originals' association.
The only difference is that your talent is also awakened with the very same orb.
It is called a True Soul awakening orb, an item we used in ancient times to awaken the hidden potential in our bodies.
But that is probably not important for you, and you are more interested in what happened after the other Gods appeared, right?]
Nial would have been lying if he were to shake his head and tell him to proceed with the information of the True Soul awakening, or whatever it was.
As such, he just smiled lightly, before the mysterious being continued to speak.
[Well, to put it simply, all of them are dead now… I killed them one after another simply because they were after my life and power.]
The voice of the mysterious being was emotionless and it held no trace of remorse for the act of killing Gods.
However, when the man continued, Nial couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
[In the end, millions of years had passed before the combined forces of Gods and their subordinates were able to kill me, and I was never able to live a peaceful life again.
I don't want to go through the same thing again. It is just too painful, and certainly not enjoyable.
As such, if you choose to take my power in order to become strong enough to protect your family from all possible dangers, you do have to understand that Gods might flock around you in order to take away your life, and powers.
After all, the power of the God of Darkness overshadowed all the life of the Universe!]
Processing all of the provided information was certainly not easy.
Rather, it took quite some time for Nial to digest everything, just for the voice to resound in his head once more.
[You must have noticed it already. They're already coming for your tiny but beautiful planet!]
It was quite obvious who the late God of Darkness was talking about.
He was speaking about other Gods; about beings that were powerful enough to destroy the entire planet once they were to descend on Jundra.
The only advantage Nial had against them was the fact that they were unable to enter the planet due to its natural restriction against certain beings, whose strength crossed a certain threshold.
It was just like a natural barrier of protection against the power that could harm the planet.
Apparently, the planetary core was subtly connected to every single dungeon portal, imposing restrictions on them if it was necessary.
This was something Nial didn't really understand, but that was not necessary to know how it worked, to begin with.
After all, the most important was the fact that it would take a very long time for Gods to be able to enter Jundra without destroying the planet just with their presence!
Considering that their plan was to nurture powerful new subordinates if Nial had understood the situation correctly, the destruction of Jundra would be disastrous.
Some Gods were likely to try to claim Jundra for themselves as well. The planet was quite big, and if conquered in its entirety, hundreds of billions of beings could probably colonize Jundra.
At least that was what Nial presumed because he knew that nine shelters of humanity harbored far more than a billion humans!
The true size of Jundra was not something Nial could comprehend on his own.
But that was also not necessary right now because the memories of the God of Darkness were bothersome enough.
As such, Nial couldn't help but shake his head in frustration, feeling that his issue with the Odyssey seed had partially been solved, just for something even more annoying to now seek his attention.
[I have to agree, they found a beautiful place to find new subordinates, nurture them, and make them feel special.
Your friends are certainly among the special creatures as well.
This Bella Morningstar, you should be careful of her…the moment she awakens the memories of her ability, your friendship might be tested.
As for your other friend, Gods will be interested in him as well.
Protecting all of them might not be the best, because you will never know when they will betray you, and I can tell you, betrayal hurts the most when it comes from an unexpected source, and from the people you love the most!]
Even if Nial didn't want to accept it, the God of Darkness seemed to be genuinely trying to help him.
Whether this was for his entertainment or because the God of Darkness was sincere in his attempts to prevent Nial from going through the same ordeal he had faced was not something one could be certain of.
However, Nial didn't even have the time to bother about being suspicious about anyone close to him, even if it was the late God of Darkness, Bella, or Mathias.
Rather than doubting their actions and future behavior, Nial's focus was on reuniting with his parents.
And he knew that he required far more strength than he had right now in order to face Gods in the future!
