Chapter 1048 I...
"I…apologize…" Yaldra could only say in a low voice, his silver hair fluttering in the wind as he bowed to the God of the Primal humans.
This shocked Kiran, the primal human, making him question everything he had known so far.
Baffled, he stared at Celestia Yaldra for a few seconds, knowing that he never apologized, not even when he had destroyed an entire stellar system more than 600 years ago.
Thus, Kiran could only look at his old acquaintance speechlessly.
Yaldra noticed this, which led him to straighten his back once again.
The four God's Halos behind him were twitching a bit, revealing his discomfort before he said.
"The young halfling, who underwent his bloodline awakening…is my son…I couldn't protect him, and even this time, I was too late to receive the news about the completion of his awakening…"
Saying a few more things, Celestia Yaldra tried to avoid the situation from spiraling out of control and preventing an all-out war from happening between the Primal humans and the Celestia race.
They were already too few in number, and all of them had better things to do than to fight against one another.
As such, it was better to be on the same side, if possible.
However, if Yaldra were to be honest, he felt uncomfortable about the situation and would rather search for his son, while trying to figure out what was going on.
'I should have helped him more…but I didn't expect them to act so quickly…'Â
There were far more overambitious Celestia Gods than Yaldra expected, and he could already figure out who had been ordered to 'take care' of Jason.
He could sense that his son was not dead, which was already a great achievement.
Because of that, Celestia Yaldra could keep his calm right now, even if Jason's condition seemed far from good if one were to put it plainly.
"So…he really is your son….and the human race that seems to be the closest to the royal Primalian of our race is the mother….that is definitely not a coincidence, right?"
Yaldra was not really ready to start a conversation about his personal matters with Kiran, neither right now nor ever.
As such, he simply shrugged his shoulders.
"If I tell you it is, you won't believe me, I guess… Either way, is it true that he already has three God's Halos?"
Instead of beating around the bush, Celestia Yaldra asked what he believed to be more important.
If Jason was truly one of the Celestias that had awoken three God's Halos at the Driekta stage, it changed almost everything.
He and every other Celestia sensed that something big had happened during the last few months, and this clearly involved the Chaos around the Veil as well.
As such, the opportunity Jason might bring forth was not something that could be ignored, and the only thing the Celestias were afraid of was Jason turning against them as he might prefer the Primal humans as his place of heritage.
Or even worse, there was even the possibility that him being a halfling could lead to a higher chance of his awakening as an Infernal Celestia.
And that was something Celestia Yaldra was genuinely concerned about…now even more than ever before.
"From what the DemiGods that I sent out to pay attention to your son's bloodline awakening told me, he has three God's Halos, yes.
I was quite astonished about that. Aren't you guys only getting one per awakening, with royals receiving a rare chance to awaken a fourth one during their Quaternary and final bloodline awakening?"
It was only obvious for Kiran to be informed about the Celestia race.
This was also the reason why he was interested in Jason's unique state.
And given the fact that Celestia Yaldra seemed to not be himself, and displayed a weird behavior than his usual calm and composed self, Kiran wanted to make use of this, and extract some important information out of him.
"...That will be a mess to take care of… To think that he is one of the Primordial God Candidates…"
However, even if Kiran hoped to hear some nice information, what he learned shocked him to the core.
'Primordial God candidate?!?...is he for real???'Â
He wanted to shout and figure out more information, but instead of revealing his surprise, Kiran behaved as if he was completely unruffled.
"So my guess was right, a Celestia with 3 God's Halos at the Demi God stage has the chance to become one of them…"
Meanwhile, the fact that two Celestia Gods had infiltrated the lands of the Primal humans had already been ignored as Jason's existence gained far more value to every single existing being in the universe, if they were only to know what or who he was!
Yet, while Kiran spoke, Celestia Yaldra couldn't even hear the Primal human anymore.
His silver eyes were locked on someone, and after lifting his hand a spatial portal manifested next to an unknown woman before he pulled her towards himself.
It was Jennifer, whose teary eyes were staring at Yaldra in shock the moment she was pulled towards him.
"You…what is your relationship with Jason?!"
Yet, before Jennifer could even understand what was going on, let alone answer him, Yaldra lifted his hand to pat her back and help her calm down.
He could already tell what she meant to Jason, owing to the Mark of a Celestia.
Her stigma was golden and had the exact same color as Jason's Celestia stigma.Â
That was why he could tell that it was the Mark of a Celestia's lover, Jason's lover, to be precise!
Even if Jason had never hinted at having a lover, or anything, to be precise, as a father, he could tell that the young halfling was in fact his son's girlfriend.
'Wait..she is not a halfling…her bloodline is in synergy… What race does she belong to? Did her bloodlines merge during her True Soul awakening?'
There was a small chance that the bloodlines of a halfling would merge during a True Soul awakening.
After all, the True Soul awakening unveiled the…true soul of the being that initiated the awakening process.
Thus, it was not unlikely for two bloodlines to merge into one.
But this was not the only thing that could happen as the True Soul of a halfling might as well have only one bloodline, causing the expulsion of the other bloodline.
This was not something Yaldra had hoped for because he wanted to have something that allowed him to have the memory of the one and only woman he had ever loved.
Yet, after thinking about Jason's situation, Celestia Yaldra knew that it would have been better for Jason if the True Soul awakening had expelled his Agran bloodline.
It would have made many things easier, even more so in the current situation.
'Candidate to become the Primordial God…' He could only think before forcing himself to avert his focus.
"You want to see Jason again, right?" Yaldra asked Jennifer, without even giving her the time to catch her breath.
She could barely nod her head, her red and teary eyes still trembling in fright, unsure what exactly was going on with Jason.
However, even if she was afraid, she knew that she had to see Jason again.
And if her mind was not completely befuddled, the Celestia she was looking at had quite a few similarities in appearance to Jason.
Thus, Jennifer comprehended that she was standing right in front of Jason's father!!
"P-Please…take me to him… he…lost everything…" She could only say in a trembling voice.
The presence of a True God was already extremely burdensome for existences like her.
However, the two True Gods in front of her were Primordials, and far from ordinary as well!
Thus, her being able to speak an entire sentence was remarkable, which led Yaldra to nod his head faintly as a pained smile emerged on his face.
"Alright, let's search for him…" After saying this, he could only add,
"I hope he is not completely broken…or even worse, about to turn into an Infernal Celestia once he wakes up, otherwise...even I might not be able to protect him anymore..."
