God's Eyes (Web Novel)

It took more than half an hour before the meeting in the main hall was over, and Jason wanted to leave with Pera, who he had seen after a long time.

Unfortunately, the City Lord asked him and Jennifer to stay behind.

Luna only threw him a short glance before, but that was already more than enough to see his hand, and the silver egg he was holding.

At first glance, she didn't realise what it was, but it took her only a moment to realise it.

Because of that, Luna requested Jason to stay behind too.

However, she didn't look at him, but her attention was on Jennifer as she said,

"Now that you are here, tell me what happened at the auction house event, right from the beginning!

I need to know every detail, about what you purchased, who we severed our ties with in today's event, and what happened that both the Aeus race's 21st Prince and Miranda felt like playing around with Jason!"

Jennifer listened to her master's words, and without any delay, she began explaining everything that had happened during the last few hours, from the moment they had entered the auction house.

It took her more than 20 minutes in which the City Lord heard her in rapt attention, and only after Jennifer finished speaking, did the City Lord move.

"To put it simply, we gave a good warning of what will happen if the other families and clans that live in Lanro continue provoking us. We didn't use any force and instead only funds, but the result is satisfying!"

The City Lord was calm but a faint smile caused her lips to curl upwards. Yet, only a few seconds later, she turned serious once again.

"The main attraction was Eggs of Spirits, and the fact that Jason purchased a mutated spirit egg made the two young prodigies curious, creating the incident you mentioned?" The City Lord asked again, just to be certain.

Jennifer nodded her head without much delay, only to ponder for a second before answering,

"The fact that he bid for the egg is probably the main reason for the two to be curious about Jason. However, there are also other unique traits about him, which one can easily perceive, even without him actively showing them!"

That being said, she pointed at the portion above her right eye, before moving to the eyes.

It was obvious what Jennifer wanted to point out, and the City Lord gave a barely perceptible nod before she turned towards Jason.

"Now the biggest question is why you purchased the half-mutated Spiral Spirit egg? It's already a wonder that you were able to procure a fortune of 10 superior Ascendion rank cultivation stones. You probably used the fortune obtained by selling all manuals you amassed from your home planet.

Using your entire wealth like that…is either utterly foolish or very brilliant, so please enlighten me about your reasoning!"

Jason was astonished that the City Lord didn't force him to answer because he'd caused quite some problems to her.

Neither did she ask anything about the Chaos attribute he had released from his eyes, or anything else about his reaction when Leo had tried to bully him.

As such, he felt grateful to the City Lord for not asking too many questions because Jason wasn't sure about certain things for himself.

His entire body felt lighter than before too. However, this was because Jason had unintentionally broken one of the minor seals, the mysterious being whose fraction of soul was imprinted into the depths of his consciousness, had created.

In the end, he was already able to break through multiple minor seals, but mindlessly releasing them was stupid.

As such, Jason wanted to have a safety net to protect himself while simultaneously having the means to increase his combat prowess drastically.

Using the exposed Chaos attribute that would come forth with the release of his seals, Jason had even been able to intimidate someone who was two stages above him.

If that was not enough to clearly show how terrifying the Chaos attribute that was only meant to seal his bloodline was, Jason didn't know what else would be.

He was not even sure how many minor seals the Celestia bloodline had, but there had to be thousands!

Furthermore, every single consecutive one had slightly more of the Chaos attribute intertwined within owing to the increase of strength they had to seal.

Jason was still far away from the secondary bloodline awakening, and there were dozens of seals he had to break first before he could be considered to approach the threshold to initiate it.

Shaking his head, Jason forced himself to stop daydreaming as he answered the City Lord's question without any further delay.

"I don't think it's necessary for me to hide why I bid for the Spiral Spirit egg. Through my eyes, I saw something that interested me, and I will bind it to my soul because I'm confident that it will benefit me!"

Jason had yet to explain the Argos' human race's soul awakening in a detailed manner, but before he could add anything to what he had already said, Jennifer intervened.

"You mean, the Spiral Spirit will become like the other beasts, and merge it with your body as you did with…the owl? And you are confident enough to hatch it, really?"

Jason wanted to clear her doubt but it was not exactly easy to do so.

Thus, he elaborated further in simple words when he saw that the City Lord was also intrigued.

"While most races awaken affinities, abilities, or possibly even a second or third cultivation vein during their soul awakening, the human part of origin is slightly unique in this regard.

We awaken a soul world with which we can bind a certain number of beasts to our soul as long as they are compatible with us.

Through this, we enhance their intelligence, and they reinforce our strength.

That's also part of the reason why I'm stronger than I ought to be. The fusion you mentioned can only happen when the soul bound is extremely strong!

In the end, my soul awakening is probably the best among my race but that is most likely because it was strengthened through the origin of my other bloodline!"

Even if it was dangerous to expose the secret of his race, Jason couldn't care less about it.

He didn't like living with secrets of which he had more than enough.

As such, he would rather say the truth to those he liked, while being nonchalant about others.

This might be foolish, thus Jason's subconscious mind was still trying to hide as many secrets of his as possible!

Nevertheless, Luna had accepted him despite being male, and both she and Jennifer didn't seem to be bad people.

Rather, Jason was sure that they were kind, and he liked them a lot despite the issues he had faced with the City Lord upon their first encounter.

It had been chaotic, but everything had changed for the better now.

At that moment, he felt his mind was bombarded with an onslaught of emotions and transmitted desires into his head.

This made him clench his fist as he ignored Jennifer and the City Lord, who were looking at him in interest.

His soul awakening was simply too unique, but at the same time, his second origin was still relatively unknown which made the others similarly curious.

Yet, Jason didn't comment, as he was occupied by his nagging soulbond.

Artemis was still eager to devour the Frozen Lunarium, despite the prickly situation. As such, Jason couldn't help but feel betrayed by his oldest soulbond.

However, it seemed like Artemis was not going to be convinced despite his premonition because she was confident that her evolution would help him more than the little strength difference he could release with her fusion.

Petri's fusion was even stronger if one were to exclude the Frozen Flame's unique traits!

As such, Artemis felt that there was no need to postpone her evolution which would only waste precious time.

In the end, annoyed by Artemis' relentless pleading, Jason took out the Frozen Lunarium just as the little owl manifested in front of him.

"Stop nagging at me… Here it is!!"
