God's Eyes

Chapter 530 - Embassy

Once the first God's child accepted Jason's proposal, the others followed suit. Their opinion about Jason had changed in the last few minutes.

Earlier, they had been under the impression that their parents and the other powerhouses had been exaggerating Jason's strength, but that was evidently not the case.

Rather, it seemed that they had grossly underestimated his strength!

Anger was the last emotion they felt right now, instead, it was curiosity, and distinct fear of encountering Jason as an opponent.

Despite the fear he instilled, everyone thought about his proposal thoroughly, and it was definitely a good strategy to learn more about their opponents before encountering them.

Furthermore, it was evident how shallow everyone's knowledge about the universal language was.

One should at least make some effort to forge ties with other races, and it seemed that the previous efforts to make soul contracts and trades before the Great Argos war had happened, originated from the foreign races.

If Jason were to know that this was also the reason why most big clans had been able to terminate their soul contract with the foreign races so easily, he would've probably thrown a fit, wondering whether mankind was extremely clever, just lucky or oblivious to the dangers they had escaped..

Fortunately, he didn't know that and seeing how eager the young woman who had stared at him was, Jason couldn't help but feel weird.

Through his Emperor Eyes, he could tell that the young woman was likely to be the youngest because she had the lowest mana core rank.

She was at the Peak 2nd Lique stage who was just about to enter the 3rd Lique stage. However, what made her interesting was that she already had four soulbonds, and every single one of them was extremely strong.

With four different affinities, it was easy to attack and defend herself with a wide variety of moves.

Suddenly, the young woman stood up as she walked towards him.

She held her hand out and smiled brightly at him, "My name is Betty, glad to have you with us. Please guide us!"

Jason hadn't expected that to happen, and he needed a second to regain his composure before he stared straight into her eyes.

The young woman, called Betty, didn't flinch, or showed any signs of hesitance to face him and extended her hand to greet him.

This was rare to see, even less after having shown what his eyes are capable of.

Smiling lightly, he stood up, shaking her hand as he said,

"Jason Stella, nice meeting you. I'll give my best to help!"

With that, Jason loosened his hold, only to notice that Betty was not letting go of his hand.

Only a few seconds later did Betty notice what she had been doing. Turning around, she returned to her seat under the pointed looks of everyone around them.

At that moment, the remaining God's Children noticed Betty's embarrassment which caused them to jump up from their seats and approach Jason.

They introduced themselves to make it look like they had planned this from the beginning, to make up for Betty's weird behavior.

Fortunately, the other God's Children knew about the odd behavior she revealed sometimes.

Only Jason noticed that something had been wrong since the beginning, and it was as if Betty could stare inside his soul.

It was said that one staring into someone's eyes led to their soul, but he had never believed it. Furthermore, there didn't seem to be anything special about Betty.

At least, Jason couldn't see anything with his Emperor Eyes.

Maybe it was just the youngest of the God children's gut feeling, or something similar.

However, instead of asking her straightforwardly, Jason decided to give them the benefit of doubt. Right now, they had given their best to cover up Betty's weird behavior. As such, it would be a slap on their face, if not worse to voice out what he had on his mind.

It only took a few hours before every other issue was finally solved.

The God's children received a large amount of resources, a copy of the martial art technique they wanted to train with and Jason decided to note down the most basic sentences and their translations.

Even with that, one would still be unable to hold a proper conversation, but it was more than enough to start with.

Other than Jason and the five God's Children, a total of six powerhouses would follow them on their journey.

They were the ancestors of the God's children, along with Merl Arths, who was the most fluent in the universal language.

Three days of preparations followed before they departed to the biggest city of the Olympus federation, Janur.

While the others manifested wings on their back with the help of the fortified soul conjunction, Jason had to fly on Artemis' back.

For the last several months, she had been reluctant to enter the soul world because she had wanted to stay with him.

Jason found this a little bit weird as it was a drastic change from her prior behavior, however, when she explained that her body felt as heavy as it had been before her first evolution, Jason could only nod.

If she were to evolve once again, that would mean they wouldn't see each other for several months.

Thus, Artemis, who was the clingiest of his soulbonds, didn't want to part ways with him right now.

The others just saw that Jason was sitting on the large owl's back, with a two-meter-long snake coiled around him.

Normally, one would comment, thinking that it would be much more convenient to use the fortified soul conjunction to manifest his owl's wings.

Yet, everyone refrained from commenting and preferred to stay silent, ignoring that they would need longer to travel to Janur.

Nobody dared to say anything against Jason since he had silenced the newly appointed patriarch effortlessly.

His small act of powerplay had helped him gain lots of respect from everyone, and there were only a few who were aware of Jason's utter exhaustion.

It had taken him two days to recuperate from the toll his short, yet magnificent act had caused.

**

30 days later one could see the human race's embassy walking through Janur's streets. A few days had already passed since their arrival, but it was difficult for them to adjust their mindset to the fact that more than a dozen races were living peacefully with each other.

"And you are sure that we're still on Argos?" Ben, one of the God's Children with a mana core at the 4th Lique stage asked hesitantly.

It was just too difficult to comprehend that a short trip over the ocean was all that was required to enter a different continent now.

Before the Great Argos war, this had been impossible because the hostile, foreign races had prevented mankind from leaving Canir and the Archipelago.

This had restricted mankind's advancement the most, forcing them to venture through the different world bridges instead of visiting the different continents on Argos.

Now that most foreign races had left Argos, leaving behind mankind and the Olympus federation, many new opportunities had emerged, which they had to seize before it was too late.

The citizens of the Olympus federation noticed that humans had entered their lands, but they were greeted politely and welcomed instead of somebody raising weapons against them.

Humans had grown used to being shown weapons and threatened by the foreign races hence this experience was fairly surprising for them. Because of that, the mindset of those who had been against the foreign races was forced to change completely.
