God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Standing within the city that had been destroyed after the beasts inside the sanctuary broke out, Jason couldn't help but sigh.

Looking through the destroyed streets that were littered with dead corpses and beasts feasting on them, he heard Emily vomiting her breakfast next to him.

Jason didn't felt good, seeing so many dead corpses either but he was definitely better off than Emily.

She didn't seem to have control over her body anymore and the only thing Jason could do was to pat her back.

Because Shane was not sure how dangerous it would be to create a spatial portal right next to the mana vein, whose coordination he didn't have too, they decided to take another way.

Instead of using spatial portals, they would descend the shaft. It was easier and attracted less attention.

It was not like Shane or Dalia had to be careful of any Lique stage beast in their surroundings but those hidden beasts at the Prismar stage with solidified prismarine crystals might turn into annoying opponents once attracted.

Jason had perceived only one of such dangerous beasts in the surrounding area of the mana vein, but that was already several months ago and many things had changed.

As such, several hours had passed before they had found and descended the shaft that led them to the base.

After that, they had to search for a path that would lead them closer to the mana vein without attracting too much attention.

That was not as difficult as everyone expected because Jason's mana eyes were able to see through everything much better after he had started to absorb the dense and pure mana released from the mana vein.

As such it didn't take a long time before they found a suitable area where they would stay for the next few months.

There were only a few beasts in their surroundings and even less to pay attention to.

Jason was already excited and without wasting any time, his pores opened as he began to absorb the mana radiating from the mana vein greedily.

Sensing how dense and pure the mana he absorbed was, he couldn't help but smile brightly as he summoned his soulbonds so that they could make use of the mana too!

Artemis and Scorpio were familiar with a mana vein, even if it was one at a lower level, it made them scream out in joy as they knew how beneficial it was.

Meanwhile, Solaris was able to make use of the fact that it had already annexed 3,000 soul energy units as it started to absorb mana too.

This was something it had to do in order to make use of its mana core, and instead of using Jason's mana as it had always done, Solaris was able to gather mana for itself now!

Meanwhile, even the unhatched petrification serpent was not completely unaffected by the mana vein's mana that started to enveloped and infiltrates the small green-blackish egg.

When Jason saw that everyone was affected by the mana vein, he couldn't help but smile as he said

"Let's give our best during the next few months!"

**[6 months later]**

Half a year had passed since Jason, his masters and Emily entered the nearby areas of the large mana vein as a gigantic stream of mana was suddnely drawn out of it.

Without warning the enormous amount of mana within shot towards Jason and the others, who were suddenly forced out of their concentrated mana absorption state.

Only Jason, who was already enveloped in a faint membrane of the purest mana, didn't move a single inch, while everyone else, who was woken up, retreated subconsciously a few dozen meters from their prior position.

Even Shane and Dalia couldn't help but retreat without being aware of it as they sensed the aura Jason was releasing.

"He is breaking through!" Shane mumbled as he retreated further.

Jason's aura suddenly changed from that of extreme calmness and focus to that of an almighty being that was able to destroy everything in its surrounding with the snap of its finger.

The aura was white in color, and intertwined with something divine, yet, it vanished as soon as it had appeared.

Everyone who felt this couldn't help but be shocked as their body began to tremble.

However, this shock did not only stem from the fact that Jason's aura changed for a moment into something unfathomable, but rather that everyone was suddenly kneeling.

Nobody was excluded, even Shane or Jason's soulbonds had to kneel down as if they were instinctively submissive to the aura Jason had released for a short moment.

However, before anyone could take a closer look at the aura, it had already vanished.

Instead of thinking that this was something bad, everyone sighed in relief.

This almighty aura traces of a white, holy hue within it but it was incomparable, to Dalia's constitution.

If Dalia's aura, which she released while purifying beasts, was already holy, then Jason's aura was that of a true God, suppressing everything in its surrounding.

This aura was a mixture between, a bright white hue, a golden color, and a distinct, silver color that was comparable to a starlight stream.

It looked magnificent but the pressure it released pervaded the area several kilometers around him before it had been retracted.

Nevertheless, it had woken up every single beast in their surrounding.

The mighty hibernating beast had been able to perceive the aura too, waking it up.

However, instead of fury or anger, it felt fear instilled within it, only to notice that the aura was retracted.

After that, it couldn't help but stare at the direction from which it felt the aura as it saw something it had never expected to see.

'The primal awakening of one's bloodline? But...isn't...that a…?'

One could hardly comprehend what the being, that was situated in the core of the mana vein was thinking off, but shock revered through its entire being as it understood what kind of being had its primal awakening next to him.

'A halfling from a superior or ancient race...here? How?' The beast was unaware of what happened during the last three hundred years but it was sure that someone like the halfling it saw shouldn't exist.

Neither on Argos nor anywhere else!

Nevertheless, instead of attacking or fleeing from Jason as it initially wanted to do, it sensed that Jason's strength was insignificant.

As such, without pondering about it, the beast manifested a spatial portal below Jason, who appeared next to the beast only a moment later.

The spatial affinity was one of the beast's affinities and it did everything without much issues.

Jason was completely oblivious to what happened and the only thing he noticed, was that the mana in his surroundings increased manifold while he couldn't even tell if there were any impurities within the mana he absorbed.

His eyes were closed and he didn't bother to look at the surrounding mana more intently to determine its purity, yet, Jason could tell that his location had changed.

Nevertheless, instead of being afraid, the surrounding mana seemed to tell him that everything was fine.

Had he known that he absorbed mana right next to a ten-meter-tall being that looked like a mixture of a bear and an owl, he wouldn't feel like this.

The complete body structure was that of a bear while Its appearance was that of an owl.

But that was not even what one should be afraid of, because the most terrifying aspect was the fact that it had solidified nine prismarine crystals.

Furthermore, it seemed that three of those prismarine crystals were about to be enveloped by one, larger and refined membrane

'Now, release the aura of higher comprehension!! The surrounding mana should be more than enough!' The bearowl thought as it was reminded of its childhood where it had seen the primal awakening of a being from a grand race.

The aura this being had released during its awakening was useful for all kinds of beasts, allowing them to gain insights or even to break through their current shackles.

This was exactly what the bearowl wanted to receive from Jason in exchange for bringing him to the mana vein's central area that possessed the densest and purest mana.

Meanwhile, Shane and the others were shocked that Jason vanished just like that and the only fact that caused his masters to retain level-headed was that Artemis, Scorpio, Solaris, and even Petri, the small petrification serpent that had hatched not long ago, remained calm as if nothing had or would happen to Jason.

The only thing that bothered them was the point that the being that brought Jason away, wanted to exploit him or rather the primal awakening of his bloodline!

Jason's soulbonds noticed that something essential about Jason was about to change and that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most beasts to be close to him.

However, this didn't include those beasts connected to Jason because they received all kinds of benefits that he was about to release subconsciously, within his aura.
