God's Eyes (Web Novel)

While the divine energy inside his body had increased by more than ten times, every cell of his body seemed to be storing traces of mana.

This was quite interesting, but nothing in comparison to the enhancement his eyes had received.

Among every single trait he possessed, Jason was sure that his eyes had, by far, received, the highest amplification.

Right now, even without using a single trace of divine energy, or even mana, Jason was confident that his Emperor Eyes could clearly spot the untraceable chameleons.

Even beasts that had perfect concealment might not be able to hide from his eyes because there would be something showing signs of their existence.

Whether this was the slightest trace of energy, their body blocking off the wind, or something else, Jason was sure that it wouldn't go unnoticed by his eyes.

Thus, he was overjoyed about the enhancement of his eyes that included the abyssal effect too.

Nevertheless, the biggest change Jason had undergone was the Halo of a God, or the God's Halo.

Jason just called it like that because his gut feeling told him that this was the correct name.

However, in the end, he was sure that its actual name would have a similar meaning.

After all, with God's Halo, Jason's combat prowess could not be touched by those at the same cultivation base as him.

Only beings such as other Celestias or the four other Primordial races should be able to fight against him head-on.

Maybe even some Ancient races with multiple superior traits were able to achieve a similar feat, but Jason was quite confident in himself.

With the races that surrounded him, there was no need for him to be afraid anymore even if he were to encounter some stronger individuals.

Thus, Jason couldn't help but experiment a little bit to find out more about the functions of God's Halo.

Its most simple task was to store energy, irrespective of whether it was divine energy or any kind of other energy.

Such a task was already great because it helped him a lot. It was also more advantageous because the energy God's Halo absorbed was instantaneously annexed and adjusted to suit Jason's mana veins.

That meant the purest energies were slowly tweaked to divine energy. Meanwhile, primordial energy and spirit force would be converted into mana.

This was exceptional and allowed him to passively absorb and annex the surrounding energies efficiently.

It was similar to supporting his cultivation because Jason was sure that it was possible for him to transfer the energy of God's Halo to his own mana core, before making use of it.

Jason thought that this was quite interesting, and was delighted to have received God's Halo. And, even if the storage, and passive cultivation functions were the only two functions of God's Halo he knew of, it was far more valuable than anything else he had received until now.

Furthermore, from what Jason understood, his father had inscribed numerous tiny runes on his own God's Halos.

That meant one could add numerous functions to the God's Halos as long as one was able to inscribe runes on them.

However, a single mistake would be disastrous, and Jason couldn't even imagine inscribing runes on his God's Halo.

Neither his knowledge about runes was enough, nor was his confidence in inscribing the runes he wanted his God's Halo to have great either.

As such, it would take him quite a while before he would even consider inscribing anything on the Halo.

In the end, there was no need to rush things, and the increase in his combat prowess was also something he had to get accustomed to.

This was his first task for now, which Jason wanted to do as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the isolation room had been completely destroyed during his Secondary bloodline awakening, and looked like ruins of a once intact structure. This caused Jason to grow a little bit uncomfortable as he asked himself how he should explain this.

'It will be enough if I compensate them, right? Saying that it was an earthquake won't help me either, I guess…'

Jason had no problem paying compensation for the things he had destroyed, but explaining how the isolation room and inscribed runes had been demolished was a completely different matter.

Saying that he had just undergone the Secondary bloodline awakening of the Celestia race, wouldn't really be helpful nor sufficient and it would lead to more doubts than necessary, and Jason was fully aware of this.

As such, he wanted to think of a proper solution, only to sense movements all around him.

Due to his breakthrough into the Ascendion stage, followed by the Secondary bloodline awakening, all of his senses had been enhanced, and not just his mana perception.

Thus, even the slightest movement of his soulbonds and Jennifer was detected.

After successfully completing her cultivation, Artemis was the first to have finished her breakthrough into the Ascendion stage, solidifying her cultivation base

She had accumulated the most liquefied mana droplets, and had wanted to enter the Ascendion stage as the first amongst all in order to show that she was the best.

Unfortunately, Jennifer had already reached the Ascendion stage long ago, and Jason had suddenly connected his soul with his mana core.

This had happened so quickly that Artemis had only been the third one to enter the Ascendion stage.

It irked her, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Thus, even though she was annoyed, instead of sulking, Artemis solidified her cultivation, pulling her mana core and soul core together.

She was faster in doing so than Jason, but that was mostly owing to the fact that she spent majority of her time on cultivating, while receiving an additional boost in her cultivation speed owing to Jason's Secondary bloodline awakening.

The energies that had been released followed by the changes of everyone's Stigma had allowed this to happen.

As such, Artemis was still happy about charging up to Jennifer's cultivation base, even if she was bound to require some more time to actually close the gap and reach her.

In the end, all that mattered was becoming stronger, which was required in order to fight by Jason's side.

After a long time, not only Artemis, but also Solaris and Petri were eager to fight alongside Jason, and not just to help him increase his combat prowess by fusing with him.

Jason was aware of this, but in most of the cases, he fought opponents that were simply too powerful for his soulbonds to stand a chance against them.

Thus, there had never really been a time in which they could fight side by side…at least not since they had left Argos.

All in all, this irked Jason's soulbonds the most, other than the fact that everyone wanted to gain his attention, all the time.

As if Artemis wanted to acknowledge this fact, she had approached Jason before rubbing her head against his chest affectionately, sharing her love for him while demanding pats.

This caused Jason to pat her as he asked her fondly,

"Did you enjoy your meal?"

For Artemis, mana was not just a source of energy to cultivate with, but also her food.

Jason had always found this to be very interesting because she had never really needed any normal food.

Rather, in the beginning of their journey, it had been a necessity for him to feed her mana-infused meat as he had been too poor to afford mana stones.

Today, this was unthinkable because Artemis would require mana-infused meat from a beast at the Specta stage.

While thinking about food, Jason realized that none of his soulbonds really consumed something except the cultivation energies.

Once in a while, Petri demanded large amounts of meat, while Sira wanted peanuts.

However, other than that, Solaris didn't seem to have any desire to devour something other than origin flames, while Spyro, the Spiral Spirit, never demanded any kind of food, to begin with.

If he were to be precise, neither he nor Jennifer really ate something.

Only when their body really demanded it or when their tongues craved for the familiar taste of food did they eat something.

But, in most cases the nutrition they received were from serums while the mana gave them the necessary energy to stay alive.

This caused him to smile lightly as he continued to wait for the others to finish their cultivation,

Caressing Artemis, he moved God's Halo only to realize that it could adjust its size.

It was yet another function of God's Halo- trimming down its size!

Jason felt that this was quite suitable as he turned the Halo into the shape of a ring, before wearing it on his forefinger.

Looking at the ring, his lips turned into a smile as he mumbled,

"These days are quite enjoyable, aren't they?"

Little did he know that a storm was brewing up and waiting to catch him off-guard.
