Chapter 915 - Belonging
While his second Stigma had emerged and connected to his first stigma and turned into one, the Mark of a God, or his halo, to be precise, had been fully materialized.
After it was stored inside his soul world for a few seconds it had once again emerged behind Jason, making no efforts to listen to Jason's commands.
However, that was only the case because it required tremendous amounts of energy upon being created, and Jason was fully aware of this.
He was not sure why, but he clearly understood the desires of the halo, what it had to do, and what it could do.
Under normal circumstances, this would creep him out, but not right now.
As of this moment, Jason had taken the major step towards the Celestia race's bloodline, and accepted it, while the bloodline of the Agran race had done exactly the same.
By finally acknowledging each other, they were slowly fusing together without destroying the advantageous traits of one another.
This was helpful, and it allowed Jason's soul world to grow in size, reaching the surface that was dozens of kilometers above them.
The citizens of Liun noticed his soul world as it enveloped everything in a bright golden-silverish light.
It made everything appear vibrant and thrumming with energy as even the doors of seemingly ordinary houses, or the streetlamps that lit up the surroundings seemed to glow.
Everything seemed alive, but nobody was able to truly touch the soul world despite being able to sense it.
Even the most powerful powerhouses inside Liun could only try grasping the bright streams of energy before they felt incapable of doing anything great.
All of a sudden, an uncomfortable sensation enveloped them.
There hadn't been a warning or anything like that, but moments later the Soul world had simply vanished, taking away the golden-silverish light along with it!
Having felt the suffocating sensation of Jason's soul world in addition to the Celestia aura that spanned over a hundred kilometers in its radius, even the Specta stage powerhouses realized that something huge had happened.
This was not even questionable because every single being in the surrounding had sensed this with a heavy thump of their heart as goosebumps sprang all over their body.
However, Jennifer was the one to receive the brunt of the impact because she had been attempting to cultivate right next to Jason and his soulbonds, only to sense a burning sensation on her neck.
She had only stared at Jason, believing that he was truly the descendant of the Celestia race, only for her entire perception to start changing when she felt the burning sensation on her neck.
Upon touching the area on her neck that felt a little scorched, she had no idea what was happening, yet, what Jennifer could clearly feel was something much bigger than she could have ever expected.
Diverting her attention from her neck, she turned it to the soulbonds of Jason, their altered Stigma, only to move towards Jason's Stigma that was glowing brightly.
The moment she saw all of the Stigmas, she simultaneously sensed a faint flow that radiated from her neck.It was followed by a subtle connection that was being created from the lightly scorched area on her neck to everyone around her. And, upon seeing all of this, she couldn't help but be utterly dumbfounded.
'Did…I receive a Stigma from Jason?!'
Jennifer was oblivious to what was going on, and even if Jason were to see the small Stigma that had been engraved on her neck, he wouldn't be able to tell what it was, let alone that he had caused this.
In the end, the manifestation of the stigma on Jennifer's neck was perfectly normal because it clearly indicated that Jennifer belonged to a Celestia, and nobody else.
It would only manifest if a Celestia and another being had slept together with their hearts only belonging to each other.
This was something that had happened to Jason's mother too, yet, both of them were completely oblivious to this. As such, neither of them was able to figure out the severity of this happening, let alone what consequences the Stigma on Jennifer's neck was ought to bring forth!
Instead of being able to focus on anything like that, Jennifer was distracted by the enormous amounts of energy that were attracted from far away, allowing her to change her main focus point to cultivating.
While closing her eyes, she didn't even realize that her Stigma began to glow brightly, giving her the overlapping effects of the Stigmas from Jason and his soulbonds.
Her cultivation progress had accelerated by leaps and bounds, causing a bright smile to emerge on her face. Beside her, Jason had opened his eyes.
He regained his senses, and slowly lifted his arm before clenching his fist.
His bones cracked a little that made him smile foolishly as he raised his head to take a look at Jennifer and his soulbonds.
None of them had changed drastically, and the biggest changes could be said to originate from the altered Stigma.
He even saw the brightly glowing stigma on Jennifer's neck.
At the same time, Jason sensed that nearly the entire right side of his face felt different from before.
Normally, he wouldn't sense his stigma, but the newly emerged Stigma hadn't been engraved too long ago.
As such, he could sense the changes without too many issues.
Thus, he manifested Byakur in order to see his reflection in the shining blade.
Jason wanted to figure out the looks of the Stigma, but there were too many things that had changed about his appearance.
Not only was a part of the right side of his face now covered with his golden-silverish stigma, but while staring intently at the blade, Jason couldn't help but feel astonished.
The majority of his hair was now silver in color.
However, this was still less shocking than the fact about how the pupils of his eyes had turned silver in color as well!
Meanwhile, his irises were golden in color.
The silver irises were slowly spreading over to the golden color, making it seem as if Jason was some sort of a mutant with defective eyes.
Yet, once traces of mana spread through his body, the color of his eyes seemed to start moving, making it seem like one was looking at some sort of a divine being.
Even Jason was astonished at his reflection if he were to ignore his handsome looks and chiseled facial features.
As he stared intently, he also saw and sensed the halo behind him.
It distracted Jason as he attempted to move the halo with his mind alone.
Oddly enough, this worked perfectly fine and he didn't even have to learn anything new.
Moving the halo towards his front side, Jason took a proper look.
Touching it lightly, his fingers brushed against it and he felt as if the halo was a part of his body.
The receptors in the halo transmitted the touch directly to his brain which felt weird.
However, at the same time, Jason clearly understood that the halo was just an extension of his body and not a divine treasure of some sort.
This was one of the Celestia race's traits, the halo that stored tremendous amounts of mana, and divine energy.
It caused Jason to feel complicated thoughts run through his mind, but none of them were bad.
Rather, he was feeling excited, knowing that he had to learn a lot about his race, the fact that his bloodlines were slowly merging, and the biggest question of all was still unanswered.
'What the hell will change once I undergo the true soul awakening?'
Little did Jason know that his Secondary bloodline awakening was just the beginning of his journey, starting the day on which the true dangers of the Universe were slowly unveiled to the seemingly oblivious young man!
