My Space-Time System

Chapter 558 Newest Demigod.

558  Newest Demigod.

"Why didn't you inform us that he had the All-Father's inheritance?!" Aurelius Frostborne tried shifting the blame to Prince Bryon.

With the attack on so many cities, the council had to call an emergency meeting. Prince Bryon gave a report of everything, including Blake's departure and possession of the All-Father's inheritance.

"The only reason he had survived so far is because I kept it a secret!" Prince Bryon was furious. Not only did Blake's departure affect a lot of his plans, but he was angry that he didn't keep his promise to Blake.

"Haven't you guys learnt a thing?!" Prince Bryon didn't care about their age or rank anymore. "This isn't the first time we are losing talents because of your egos."

"The worst part is that every talent we lose is being taken in by the League of Assassins or our enemies. Today was a little display of the consequences of your actions. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before our enemies are enough to take us down."

Bryon's words silenced Aurelius and Cedric as they had no way to refute the facts.

"The most important question is figuring out why he left, not arguing." Jaeger Nystrom said.

"Who wouldn't leave after putting themselves in the face of danger for their nation, only to be treated like trash." Prince Bryon snorted.

"I mean, was he under anyone's influence?" Jaeger shook his head.

"Throughout the fight, he didn't say a word until the end, so we can't be too sure. However, the fact that that man infiltrated the prison makes the chances of mind control high." Prince Bryon said in Blake's defence as he hadn't shared all of his conversation with the Masked man.

"All actions come with consequences." Emperor Synder finally spoke causing everyone to turn to him. "This is the result of your actions, you 2 will have to pay for it."

Emperor Cinder rarely spoke about what the Ancestral families were doing, however, when their actions affected the Empire, he would waste no time to act accordingly.

"Yes, your Highness." Aurelius and Cedric Obediently bowed.

…

"Welcome to our base." The Masked man said as they appeared in a courtyard with a tranquil expanse.

Cobblestone paths wind around a reflective pond adorned with koi and water lilies. Blossoming cherry trees and bonsai arrangements provide bursts of colour, while intricately carved pavilions offer shaded respites. The gentle trickle of a stone fountain accompanies the rustle of wind through leaves. It's a harmonious blend of art and nature, an oasis of serenity.

THUD!

Once, Blake's body realized that it was no longer in danger, it collapsed to the ground. Immediately, the clouds above the courtyard turned dark.

'This wasn't just a test to join the League, it was also a test for you.' The Masked man immediately backed off, and almost instantly, a pillar of mana shot down on Blake.

"The trial of a Demigod is not for the ordinary, but for those truly worthy to be demigods." The Masked man muttered to himself as Blake's advancement process began.

"He must really be something for you to send all of us out just to save him." Verdigris said as he appeared in the courtyard.

"Is it me or is the mana pillar way bigger than usual?" Slade asked as more of the returning League members appeared in the courtyard.

'He is sure is something special.' The Masked man smiled without saying a word.

Blake had fainted due to mental and mana exhaustion, as well as loss of blood. So immediately the mana pillar fell on his unconscious body, his mana was instantly refilled and his arm began regenerating.

In an instant, he was taken back to his prime state, marking the beginning of the advancement process.

'What the hell is going on?' Blake was in a confused state as he was woken up by mind-wrenching pain.

[This is your advancement process into the demigod realm.] The system replied but Blake was not sure whether he should laugh or cry especially with so much pain.

As the endless stream of mana coursed through his veins, an inferno of pain engulfed his very being. It was as if a thousand searing knives tore through his flesh, every fibre of their existence screaming in protest.

FUUUU************k!

Blake screamed in agonizing pain as his organs began dissolving into nothingness, reduced to stardust by the relentless pillar of mana, while still being kept alive by the mana pillar.

AHHHHHH!

Blake's Muscles twisted and contorted, bones shattered and reformed and skin seemed to peel away and reknit in a grotesque dance of agony and renewal. The torment was beyond comprehension, the sensation akin to being torn apart atom by atom and stitched back together with malevolent intent.

At this point, Blake's body was not lying on the floor; he was floating mid-air with his eyes and hair pure white!

"That definitely didn't happen in anyone's advancement." All members of the League present in the courtyard were staring at the Masked man wondering what was happening.

Almost everyone saved and recruited by the Masked man had advanced the moment they appeared at the courtyard, but this was the first time seeing such.

At the same time, lightning arcs filled the sky, the flames ignited all around the courtyard, and an unknown force constantly pulled and pushed away the members of the League.

This phenomenon represented the advancement of the Demigod's elements. The presence of the unknown force confused a lot of people, but it didn't take long before they began getting ideas of what was going on.

"Is that what I think it is?" The members of the League couldn't believe their eyes, as they constantly switched between Blake and the Masked man.

After what felt like an eternity, the storm of elements began subsiding, as well as the torment. The mana pillar stayed for a few more seconds before finally dissipating, but Blake was still floating and his hair was still white!

"The newest Demigod of the League has been born!" The Masked man announced.
