God's Eyes Chapter 568 - Power Is Everything

Jason was not sure what exactly the being inside his body was, but it seemed to not have lied about his mother having asked for its help to enter Argos.
There was no reason, let alone evidence for Jason to believe the mysterious being, but Jason's memories clearly recalled how sickly his mother had always been.
Furthermore, she had never told him anything about her past, her soulbonds or anything else.
The soul's fraction within him didn't bother Jason much, rather it was helpful as it sealed the Celestia bloodline.
At least, if the being had been true to its words.
Since he had found out about the seals inside his body that were different from the awakening of his bloodline, he had always wondered how it had even been possible for him to be born in the first place.
At the same time, Jason wondered when the first seal had been removed.
'Was the start of everything, when I began to sense mana, or when I gained my eyesight?'
.
Somehow, Jason felt as if it was the latter because he found it weird that one accident after another happened from that time onwards.
Maybe it had been his misfortune or something else that made him attract others, irrespective of whether they were friends or foes.
In the end, Jason had just accepted the fact that he was not a complete human, and that his other half hailed from the Celestia race, but now his body harbored another secret, while his mother's past was something mysterious and unknown.
'What about my grandparents then? Are they still alive?' There were more questions Jason had in mind than he could answer, and his only hope was that the future could tell him answers to the questions that continued to torment him.
Suddenly, Betty, who had been standing in front of him, grasped his shoulders and shook him violently. She continued to shout his name, which made him regain his senses.
"Sorry, what happened? Is it my turn to fight again?"
He stood up nonchalantly, only to notice that he was bleeding from several spots at which his skin had burst open.
Taking out a purified potion, he gulped it down as he noticed that everyone stared at him in shock.
"What happened? You almost killed all of us with the pressure you released in your sleep!! Fortunately, you didn't radiate it for long, and it dispersed as suddenly as it had emerged!"
It was Jarid, who said this and he had just approached Jason with a tinge of reverence and fear in his eyes.
Jason seemed to have grown much more than he had expected. At the same time, it looked like he had more secrets that even he didn't know himself.
At least, that was what Jarid could comprehend by looking at Jason's confused expression.
Meanwhile, Jason only knew that he had regained full control over his body once again.
Other than that, he was also able to perceive his seals better than before.
By simply entering the depths of his conscience with his mind, he could clearly see the two strands that were intertwined with each other, forming a helix.
The lowest part of it was already fused together and had the same color, while the locks on the strand belonging to the Celestia race prevented the complete fusion.
Apparently, the primal awakening of one's blood unsealed shackles that every pure-breed would naturally generate upon birth, and the seals created by the unknown being whose soul fraction was inside his body had been artificially created.
This suppressed the Celestia bloodline, allowing Mina Stella to give birth to Jason without dying from the sheer mass of nutrition and mana a common Celestia newborn required.
Jason recalled that the being had said that he shouldn't underestimate the Celestia race, but he was not sure what exactly this meant.
Did this only include their strength, mana mastery talent, or everything else too?
'Just how did Mom encounter the Celestia race?!' Jason wondered, unsure what kind of obstacles his mother, and grandparents had overcome!
They were said to have disappeared according to Nathan, the Heaven Eyes sect's patriarch, while his father had told him that his mother had been sacrificed by some race as a tribute to the Celestia race.
As he trusted his father more than Nathan, who had evidently lied to him when they had talked with each other. Some part of him believed that Nathan had caught, or even sold his family to the race his father had been talking about.
Nathan's motives to do this would probably have been his greed and fear of being overthrown as the Heaven eyes sect's patriarch, but even then the final result made no sense.
'If mom and my grandparents had been sold to another race, most probably a higher race, but even then they shouldn't have been able to meet the Celestia race!'
Everything kept becoming more confusing, and Jason could only give his best to calm down as he stood up.
What Jarid had probably meant was the mysterious being's pressure that had suppressed him within his own body too.
As such, he simply smiled at Jarid as he said,
"Well, to be honest, there are things I don't understand about myself either, but I've regained control over my body again. How far have we made it into the combat rounds?"
Jarid understood that Jason didn't want to continue speaking about what had happened.
Thus, he turned away and said, "Once everyone has calmed down, we're continuing, but it will take some time before the second round will start."
When Jason heard this, he just nodded his head before turning towards Wisse who stared at him with even more interest than before which caused him to sigh deeply.
"This will be a hassle." He mumbled, only to be heard by Jarid who smiled drily.
The God's Children were still shocked about what had happened to Jason, while the other participants stared at him with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Initially, they had assumed Jason to be strong and talented, but unfortunately as he was extremely young in comparison to the other participants.
However, this had now changed and everyone took him seriously!
Due to this, Jason wanted to focus on the liberation tournament because this had been his highest priority since the beginning, only to hear a voice resounding in his head.
[Did you figure out your issue?]
Wisse, who had also been suppressed by the aura Jason had radiated for a short moment, asked while looking at the young man, who was even younger than him!
He was merely curious and didn't have any hidden selfish motives in being friendly with Jason who was hands down the most interesting young man he had encountered in a long time.
However, seeing that Jason wanted to ignore him, Wisse was slowly growing agitated, doubting whether he was being too nice to the young man, who was barely at the 2nd Lique stage!
[I don't even know if it's an issue] Jason answered, as an idea struck him!
The Dragon had just begun to talk to him, questioning him about his origin and other personal things. Though Jason had no intention of doing the same, he realised that he could also figure out something else he was even more interested in.
He had yet to find out how to override a soul contract after all!
