My Space-Time System

Chapter 566  Too many secrets!

Blake was finding it hard to believe that his eyes were not fooling, but that was until Cassius Wilson, the deity of darkness, and the true All-father finally spoke. "How long has it been?"

Blake was moved to tears as he heard the voice that its absence made him cry night after night as a kid. "9 years on Earth and 4 years here."

Cassius's body dissipated into shadows and reformed in front of Blake, giving him a warm hug. "I missed you two a lot."

"How was Miriam before you came here?" Cassius asked.

The question reminded him of the memories he had been trying to ignore for years. "Stressed out from working two jobs but always tries to hide it under her beautiful smile."

"What happened? How did you get here? Why didn't you come back after so many years? Is it that it is impossible to return to Earth?" Blake poured out a few of the many questions that clouded his mind.

Pushing himself out of Blake's embrace, Cassius said. "I promise to answer all your questions, but first I have to speak to someone."

"How long has it been since our battle?" Cassius asked leaving Blake confused.

"Seems you are too ashamed to speak." The lord of darkness chuckled as he received no reply.

Seeing his dad talking to himself, Blake couldn't help but ask. "Who are you talking to?"

"The one masquerading as the All-father; you should know him as the System." He replied causing Blake's eyes to widen.

"What do you mean?" At this point, Blake was sure that his ears were playing tricks on him.

Seeing the shock on Blake's face, Cassius chuckled before going on to explain. "Valerius was once the All-Father, but after trying to betray the realm, the Mother-stream stripped him of the title and I became the All-Father."

"What?!" Although he didn't doubt his dad one bit, Blake was utterly shocked because the system had been with him throughout his stay in Infinite realm.

This was the same All-Father who was respected by all, and ranked higher than Azkelwart who was regarded as the Father of magic!

"Why would he do that?"

Cassius placed his hand on Blake's head and started a pulling motion.

"I will explain everything in detail later, but for now, stand still let me take the scoundrel out of your mind."

AH!

Blake screamed as a familiar pain washed over his body. He was forced to his knees as he felt his head continuously being stabbed by a red-hot knife.

"This isn't over!"

After what felt like forever, Blake heard the screaming voice of the system in his head as he felt the feeling of someone watching over him was gone.

"He is gone." Cassius said as he held a white ethereal blob in his right hand before using his left to lift Blake back to his feet.

While still lifting him up, Cassius said. "Before we continue with the explanations, I want to introduce you to your brother."

'He must have also taken out half of my brain and messed with my ears in the process because I am surely hearing things.' Blake mind-chuckled as he was still feeling dizzy.

At the same time, the Mask man walked up to the two of them and took off his mask.

"Blake this is Dorian… Dorian, as you already know, this is my son from my home planet." Cassius said.

'You've got to be kidding me!' Blake was shocked because his so-called brother was one of the strongest in the realm and also the leader of the most feared organization.

"Nice to officially meet you brother." A bright smile was plastered on Dorian's face.

Dorian had a sun-kissed figure with jet-black hair, and hazel eyes full of wisdom. His easygoing and approachable demeanour made his smile infectious, putting Blake at ease.

Being awkwardly stuck between giving a Battle Angel a hug or giving his brother a handshake, Blake chose the 3rd option; crack a joke in the form of a question.

"If I may ask, who is older?"

"Thinking of it…" Dorian had his hand on his chin. "Although I am centuries old and you are 19, you were given birth to before Dad arrived… That makes me older than you."

"Eh…" Blake was confused for a second before speaking. "That doesn't even make sense!"

"What else do you want to hear; I answered your question." Darion chuckled.

"What a minute…" Blake noticed something off. "If both of you awakened the darkness element, that means it is your primary element. How come I awakened the lightning element?"

Cassius pondered for a bit before speaking. "That was also what I was wondering but I had a feeling that scoundrel had something to do with it."

"How can he affect one's awakening, I thought the Mother-stream wouldn't allow that?" Blake was confused.

"Normally, the Mother-stream wouldn't but not only did he have access to your body before you arrived at Infinite realm, but you got his inheritance even before you had stars. So there were a lot of chances for him to alter it."

"Why would he want to change my element; Having the Space and Darkness would have been OP!" Blake couldn't help but imagine the things he could achieve with the 2 strongest elements.

"Not only will it put a target on your head, but I will be able to sense it and foil his plans long ago." Cassius explained.

"You can?" Blake was shocked by the power of a deity.

"As the lord of darkness, and with my special connection with the Mother-stream in which everything is in turn connected to, yes I can." Cassius said with a proud smile.

"That brings me to an important question; What was the aim of summoning us here in the first place?" Although Blake had been bombarded with multiple mind-blowing news for the last 2 hours, he still felt he could take more.

"It is best I tell you the entire story, starting from the beginning." Cassius said as he returned to his mana crystal throne.
