Chapter 147: Glimpse Of Truth
(Author note: Still 3rd person POV)
..
.
While Alex and his party busy exploring the Titan Dungeon, meanwhile, somewhere, on the Goddess Realm.
Two people sitting and facing each other.
A handsome suave middle-aged man and an otherworldly beautiful bewitching mature woman were leisurely talking to each other, they were Gaia and Adam.
Adam who always had a light smile plastered on his face while he was talking with Gaia who was enjoying her hot tea in front of him, suddenly knit his eyebrow and frowned.
[Is that something wrong?]
Gaia suddenly asked.
.
[It seems one of the seals that I placed to that brat, suddenly broken.
Did something happen to him? Hmm that silly brat seems growing more and more, adapting very well with the world here]
Gaia who was just about sipping her tea once again paused her action.
She observed Adam's expression and became intrigued.
[Looking at your face, it looks like you're quite worried about him?]
Adam who still didn't ease his knitted eyebrow turned his head toward Gaia before hesitatingly telling his worry.
[Gaia do you think it's good for him to slowly changing like this? Honestly speaking, I prefer that brat to stay as he is, and living peacefully on Earth.
But, since I quite worry about the incoming event, I can't assure his safety if I leave him behind in that world
You know, with how that bastard Garragal always doing things, if he knows that I connecting the Earth, the Cultivation world with this world, he will not stay silent for sure
Furthermore, we still need Jormunngar and Fenrir's help to deal with the upcoming event in the near future
...
Sigh..
I think that brat fate will end up the same, whichever the choice I choose...]
[How should I say this
Actually, I also didn't know if your choice is right or not, considering I, myself never has someone to be called as my descendant, and become a mother before.
However, isn't it that fine for him to become stronger and slowly understand his own origin and circumstances?
Sure, maybe he can live in his previous world as a mortal, and far from the blood and slaughter cruel world, here.
But I'm sure, he can never live a peaceful life throughout his life, as he will gradually notice the strange disappearance of you and Ethania.
You already know right? you can't seal his memory forever
After all he is the "fruit" of you and Ethania.
He destined to not be someone ordinary]
...
..
Hearing Gaia's opinion, Adam gradually eased his knitting eyebrow.
He sighed tiredly, turning his head to somewhere, outside of the goddess realm, and started murmuring.
([Alex forgive this good for nothing father
By now, I'm sure that Old Wolf telling you a glimpse about my identity.
With how that Old Wolf doing things, surely he will try to retaliate after getting sealed by me and disturbing his slumber
That guy already tired of anything and just want to rest after all.])
[Right, Adam, are you really sure about joining the upcoming event?
With how bad your body right now
..
Sigh
..
You are already done plenty for us.
Isn't it better if you spend your life with Ethania and Alex more?
Honestly, we already owe you so much
The thing about acting like a bad guy and being a black sheep for all the damage caused by Garragal...
We didn't want to make you work this hard further.
Please think about this more carefully]
With what Gaia suddenly said to him, Adam gradually came back to his sense.
Without looking at Gaia, he began to give his own thought about her proposition.
[I can't.
I already told you about how I could come to this world, don't I?
As long as I'm not getting the answer from that bastard Garragal, and paid what he had done to me, I can't stop getting involved with your world midway like this...
Getting the truth about all this Universe's existence is my top priority after all.
It was more important than myself and my family
...
About being a black sheep, did I already told you that I don't mind it?
After all, it's better for me stained my name rather than that bastard gaining more power from his terror...]
Gaia, who heard Adam firmed answer, could only sigh in defeat.
She knew, if the guy in front of her will not minding about whatever other people think about him, and always obsessed with knowledge and the secret behind all this Universe.
That's why he got that unbelievable strength that even can match the former true God, Garragal who now became the Devil.
However, looking at the man in front of him digging this taboo knowledge further and further at the cost of his own life, she couldn't be helped but saying.
[You know..
Sometimes knowing the truth is not always good.
It's better if you accept anything in front of you, and just follow what ordinary people do to live your life peacefully.
Look at Garragal now?
In the past, he is an honest and passionate man like you, but his obsession with knowledge and the secret of the universe, making him fall deeper and deeper into the darkness]
Hearing Gaia who suddenly mentioned Garragal, Adam couldn't help himself to retort at her.
[Don't group me together with that weak-willed guy, Garragal!
He is just a loser who was hooked by the Devil's temptation.
And more importantly, that guy is just too nave.
A very Nave that is almost made him scarier when he joined the dark side.
Anyway, since he dares to deceive me into coming to this world and get me nothing in return, I will thoroughly get all the answer he yet to tell me from his own mouth!
This time I will not lose again this time!]
Sigh..
Gaia who saw Adam's eyes which already burned in high spirit could only sigh and shake her head.
....

Meanwhile, on the northern part of the Garragania world, somewhere on one of the forbidden zone in the Northern Continent.
A harsh place, where a heavy blizzard hit throughout the years.
A world that dyed only in white color, as high accumulating snow spread on its ground endlessly.
An extremely cold temperature white world, that could chill every creature deep into their bone.
Even it was a harsh place, on the contrary, the night sky above this place looked extremely beautiful, decorated with mysterious, yet captivating Aurora fleeting in it like a cloud of beautiful fairy dust.
The countless stars, dimly lit in its dark sky, painting in it and dimly illuminated the world below it, seemingly hiding the harsh icy world that could freeze even an S rank monster.
Somewhere, in this white world full of snow.
Inside an extremely hidden ice crack, that camouflaged by a piling up snow and glacier, a two people silhouette could be found.
In this icy cave hidden place, one of the silhouettes of a person seemingly having a conversation with an ordinary chunk of ice on the wall in front of him.
Since the place was covered in darkness without any source of light that could be found in it, the scene in this hidden place couldn't be clearly perceived by any ordinary person.
However, if someone was an expert in the subject of magic, they would be able to perceive something inside the ice chunk, which was seemingly frozen.
If those experts observed carefully, they will realize from within the unknown-something frozen, an enormous magic power lying and hiding within it, continuously restrained by a seemingly invisible force coming from the dimly lit rune-like letters that covered all over the ice chunk surface.
[Kukuku
It seems the pawn that you place on the western continent back in failure]
A hoarse and hard to decipher voice suddenly coming out from within the ice chunk.
...
[. It couldn't be helped.
Something outside the calculation suddenly appeared and forcing this one of my clones to escape
..
Sigh
At least, after transforming into a Litch king, this guy case shouldn't consider a complete loss, I guess.
This clone will be quite useful to assist me in my next plan after all]
One of the silhouettes of a person, answered the voice coming out from within the ice chunk with his old raspy voice.
He continues.
[Still, It's very unfortunate that I failed to get The Grandduchess Maria, and that rare Night Elf specimen.
With the Edward Athrast already back here, my surveillant ability on the western continent became disable.
Sigh
.
It couldn't be helped, it seems we have to count on the people working below dealing with observing the situation there]
Clatter* clatter*
Beside him, the other silhouette in this dark room, suddenly making a bone-clanking noise, seemingly trying to express something to him.
The one creating a clanking skeleton noise is Edward Athrast.
It turned out Edward Athrast who just escape from Alex, and a quite famous former Mithril rank adventurer and the notorious bounty hunter is just a clone of the mysterious person beside him.
Continued making a clanking noise, Edward Arthrast passing his memories to the mysterious person with a mysterious method.
..
[Hm hm]
[Interesting an unknown person who had a great Soul power potential
But it seems that person didn't know how to use it yet.
Diamond in the rough
Should we send someone to find him and made him join our organization?
what do you think?]
[Kukukuku!
As always, your ability to divide and control your multiple consciousnesses is disgusting as ever.
leaving that aside, about recruiting new people, I think you should consider it more carefully.
furthermore, you said that this mysterious person held a great Soul power, it'll be better if you doing some background check on him first.
If by chance this person is someone from the light faction, it will become a trouble for us after all]
[Right, maybe we shall move more carefully from now on.
I just collected some information from my countless clone, there's seems a lot of them telling about the powerhouse all over the world started making their movement these days...
Still, Satan, aren't you bored staying in this cold place for a long time?
If you want it, I think you can destroy this ice prison anytime? am I right?
Ah, of course, it will be better if you stay like this at the moment...
Who knows if someone from the light faction could notice it after all...]
A shocking name.
The one who was sealed within the ice turned out the Legendary Demon Lord, Satan.
[Kuhahahahahat!
You dare to ask my well-being?! Isn't the one making me like this is you?!
Hahahahahahat!!
What an ironic person you are
But still, I wonder how that guy from the light faction will react if they know that you were still alive.
kuhahahahat!
Interesting this is really interesting!
Isn't that right? "Sloth"?]
