God´s Eyes

Jason was glad that Dalia was in their small group because Shane was way too excited due to his bloodline awakening, which caused Jason to smile oddly, while Emily was extremely confused.

After he had shocked Dalia with the high quantity of existing planets that inhabited intelligent life and the fact that their whole system about the ranking of one's mana core was baseless and different from the foreign races, Dalia was forced to adapt which she did great.

As such, she was much calmer in tricky situations.

That was after she had understood everything that Jason had told them before, which included the Terra grade manuals and the fact that only 'weak' individuals from those foreign races were sent over to Argos.

She had been shocked for a long time but after overcoming everything, Dalia knew that doing their best was everything they could do!

What else should they do? Hide in the corner of a small island as they used to do, or give up everything they had achieved over centuries?

That was in the past and since she encountered Jason, Dalia knew that she had to nurture him! 

This nurturing was not only based on how to become stronger or even her alchemy and beast creator knowledge! 

She was aware of Jason's kindness and the fact that he wanted to help others despite saying that he was not a Saint or something like that were important traits!

It was also obvious that he was not normal from the beginning, at least she could tell that something about Jason was essentially different from other humans. 

Whether it was his talent, the fact that he could create a firm bond with his soulbonds immediately after he formed a soulbond contract with them, or his unique traits, like his soul awakening that was shockingly high, the fact that he had very unique mana eyes, in the end, everything pointed out that Jason was special. 

This was also why it wasn't that much of a surprise to her that Jason was a halfling from another race. 

Instead of discriminating against Jason because of that fact, she wanted to help him stay on the right track and not to lose himself in thinking that he might not belong to Argos. 

Mankind was in a dire need of someone strong enough to make initiate a change but Dalia thought that Jason required humans too, even if it was just to learn how cruel or nice reality could be. 

With that in mind, she taught him that rescuing others might not seem like much to him but for those people he saved, it was their entire life! 

As long as she could maintain Jason's good personality without anything shattering it into smithereens, he would become someone great, more like a Saint than a Devil.

Even if half of his genetics belonged to a different race, as long as his heart was on the right spot everything would be fine.

Shane calmed down the excitement within not long after he saw Dalia's serious expression as he said "Let's depart to Canir!" 

Jason who was deep in thoughts again thought that he hadn't heard his master correctly and he looked at Shane with confusion

"Canir, wouldn't it be better to rest for a few days and talk about everything to understand what's currently happening on Canir? Furthermore, I can't hide my stigma and Celestia characteristic aura right now! It would be suicidal for me to enter Canir right now!!"

When Shane heard this he shook his head before he told Jason what he had missed out on in the last 8 months which they had spent near the mana vein without any obstructions.

That was, if one were to leave out the weird bearl-owl mutant existence that abducted Jason and afterward even his soulbonds.

This Owl-bear, without giving it a proper name, was terrifying and its strength was much higher than Shane's, however, even if that was the case, nobody had perceived killing intent from it.

Rather than that, it seemed more like an overjoyed beast that received benefits worth several hundred years of luck.

Nobody could know that the Owl-bear had previously estimated that it would take more than 700 years before its hibernation would be over, indicating its breakthrough to the second, large threshold of the Primar stage!

"You might now be aware of this because you were too focused on increasing your mana core rank and body refining progress, but I left the mana vein a few times to take a look at the other islands.

At the same time, I could take a glimpse at the newsfeed of my quantum bracelet, or what remained from the newsfeed...and it looks bad… If you can't cover your Celestia aura or stigma yet, we should depart to Canir instead of anywhere else.

The other islands are either attacked by humans that accepted the foreign race's soul contract which allowed them to be nurtured with greater cultivation resources, martial art techniques, and cultivation techniques than we have on Argos. But if the existence of those humans that have been nurtured by the foreign races were to be the only issue, it wouldn't be so bad.

More problematic is the fact that the big clan gathering turned into a massacre, exactly as we had expected.

Jael Drake and the race he is colluding with, initiated an attack, the moment all big clans that wanted to attend the gathering had arrived.

This was earlier than everyone had expected!

Not being able to retaliate directly, more than 6 leaders of those big clans died, before their reinforcement arrived.

The reinforcement was obviously other foreign races that had planned to wait for the perfect moment to ambush the leaders of the big clans and the forces they had hidden too!

In the end, everything turned out to be extremely complicated and I don't even know how many people have been killed since then…

From the looks of it, there are currently around 7 foreign races attacking each other, but there could also be more and I have no idea how it could escalate to such an extent...They use humans and their territory as shields. The most ridiculous fact, however, is that those foreign races have only sent a few sovereign ranks, or Prismar stages how you would call them.

The rest are all at the Lique stage, and they don't even have a large number of mana drops liquefied...As if they allowed their younger generation to decide which race will be allowed to reign over mankind…"

Jason was astonished, but not really shocked about what he heard, as he mumbled

"The gathering was around the time we departed...so slightly less than 8 months since the war or whatever we should call this chaos began?"

He tried to get the hang of what exactly they should do as he mumbled

"If the stronger individuals from those foreign races want to avoid waging war on their planets, which might eradicate their whole race, they have to use the younger generation….furthermore those stronger individuals shouldn't be able to enter Argos...the rifts are not stable enough to withstand their strength...at least that should be the reason for other races to send their people at the Prismar stage as strongest envoys to Argos…"

When Shane and Dalia heard this they nodded, slightly confused for a quarter of a second as Shane said

"It would be stupid for those foreign races to wage war against other races that might be as strong if not stronger than themselves. Adding the sheer number of foreign races that have access to Argos, there might be more than the seven I'm aware of, maybe they're many hidden in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to reap the most benefits.

And mankind's soul awakening with our soul world should be those benefits! If someone were to demand mankind as their own asset, war would be the only logical reaction. 

That is if our soul awakening is as important to those races as we think it is. With that being said, they had to collude with those big clans to create a small, hidden force that might be able to reign over mankind without anyone knowing. At the same time, we can say for sure, that the strongest beings they might send would be at the peak of the Low- Prismar stage with several more solidified prismarine crystals than mankind has!

At least if we didn't miss important information yet!

As for the younger generation of the foreign races, they're either sent out as reinforcement for the big clans, or foreign races thought that they were strong enough to take care of mankind?"

Dalia nodded her head at Shane's words while Jason thought about them for a moment before he wanted to add something, only for Emily to blurt out.

"But Jason said that the Lique stage is not even considered to be the beginning of one's cultivation path..why should they send out their untrained people? 

Couldn't there be a different reason? Maybe what Jason said with the younger generation makes sense and they let them decide who is allowed to stay on Argos or has to leave, or maybe who can remain on Argo as a sole foreign race? 

But...why does it feel weird to send out untrained people? With their strength, their Lique stage people should be around our age? Maybe a little bit older or younger, but that's not what matters! Doesn't it feel more...like a trainings camp and we are the reward?"

Jason knew that Emily was clever and quick-witted but he didn't expect her to say something like that. She had yet to fully understand what exactly those other races planned and the fact that Jason was a halfling from another race was not easy to digest.

However, she felt that Jason was nice and not someone from those evil foreign races that made everyone's life worse.

"Trainings camp?" Dalia mumbled, unsure what she should think about this possibility as Jason said

"Let's be blunt...this is not unlikely. Some races might join this chaotic war because they want their younger generation to become more proficient in real combat. Maybe this could even be a sign for the younger generation to learn the other foreign race's real strength. Sacrificing weaker soldiers to train veterans might also be a good purpose for races with a high population and great reproduction ability!

At the same time, there might be other races that have another goal, which is to claim mankind as their own. After that, they could use us as a means to strengthen themselves.

This, however, would also mean that there could be a third faction to join the fray. Those races that don't like mankind will be controlled by other races. It's not highly likely but if a single race can't have us as their sole asset, either nobody is allowed to have us or everyone together….that is at least what the third faction that might join the fray could think…"

Shane listened intently about what Jason and Emily comprehended and he couldn't help but smile as he mumbled

"Doesn't that mean the only races we have to be careful about are those belonging to the first faction, thus every race that colludes with our race?"

However, when Shane had said this, Jason added

"And mankind itself..."
