God´s Eyes

Jason knew that he didn't have to reveal everything. 

Even the few things he was supposed to reveal to the others were not necessarily considered a lot because it was unlikely that they would believe him, to begin with. 

As such, he first made up his mind and sorted the jumble of thoughts in his head. 

Through this, he clearly understood that the other human race was called Yinar. 

It didn't look like they were bound by a soul contract, but that was not something he could tell for sure! 

Thus, he might have to be careful, which was easier said than done. Even the human from Argos, who was standing in front of him was at the Specta stage.

He was the strongest human with a soul world Jason had ever seen.

After all, humans from Argos were at most around 450 years old as the first world bridges appeared only around that time. 

And, to reach the Specta stage at such a young age could be considered a spectacular feat.

And to add on, it was unlikely for the man in front of him to be 450 years old. Rather, he was probably much younger!

With that in mind, Jason took a deep breath before he began to explain how they had entered the Ninad beast realm, and what they were doing here.

All of this was majorly the truth and relatively easy to understand. Only the explanation about his divine energy was slightly more difficult because the truth in its entirety was not something he wanted to share with strangers.

"I'm from Argos, and I have awoken a strong soul world with a high soul amplification. This has allowed me to bind a unique kind of soulbond with which I am able to use some divine energy.

Other than that, many things have happened in the last few years, so…explaining everything in detail would take too long. And, it's not something one would tell strangers.

I hope this is understandable!" 

By claiming that he had secrets but would not share them with strangers, everybody was of the opinion that Jason was more trustworthy to the others.

This was a neat psychological tactic that would, under normal circumstances, bear different results.

However, the more one revealed willingly to strangers one had never met, the more unlikely the words one told others seemed.

After all, who would tell everything about one's life to others in the first meeting? And to strangers at that?

When the five humans heard that Jason bound a beast that allowed him to wield divine energy, their eyes shone with jealousy.

But it didn't take much time before everyone was able to calm down, as the voice of one of the older ones rang out behind the youths.

As soon as Niles and his friend had woken up from their deep slumber, they were directly interrogated. They were given no time to recover or shown even a little bit of mercy by the three men at the Specta stage.

"Sooo…Jan, Niles, how about you two explain why you were outside the city directly after the alarm rang out? Don't tell me you coincidentally encountered the halfling and Jason?!"

Not having asked for Jennifer's name, they simply referred to her as a halfling. 

This was not very nice of them, but their mind was probably focused on something else. 

Both the youths began to shiver the moment they were subjected to intense stares. They were so nervous that they couldn't even think of making up a story.

Instead, they revealed everything, which caused Jason to smile lightly. Meanwhile, Jennifer who was still holding his hand, patiently stood right next to him, not sure of what was bound to happen.

Considering that she was not yet attacked, or already killed by the three powerhouses, the situation seemed to be under control. However, Jennifer could also vividly recall what the two youths had called her before they had initiated their attack.

Thus, she had yet to figure out what was going on, and how safe she was.

Meanwhile, Jason was rather calm, and his gut feeling told him that everything was fine. This was the reason he could spare his attention on reassuring Jennifer that everything was fine.

"So, you two brats want to tell me that you just attacked randomly a stranger without trying to figure out if they were truly hostile, or possibly even stronger than you!?!

That cannot be considered foolish anymore, but it's plain dumb!" 

It was Niles' father who reprimanded his son in an enraged voice, and the moment Niles heard this, he couldn't help but flinch as he blurted out,

"But..he is just at the Peak of the Prismar stage…how could we have known that he is so strong?!" 

The excuse was not exactly great because if Jason had wanted to kill them, he would have done so.

After all, he didn't even have the need to fight with a sword, or fuse with one of his soulbonds.

"Even if my cultivation base is low, I still have five soulbonds, and a high soul amplification. So my real combat prowess is different from my cultivation. But that is something one can gauge by sensing my presence and mana fluctuations!" 

Jason hadn't been asked to intervene, but the youths didn't seem to understand what they had missed out on before their attack.

As such, he cleared what they hadn't understood in a few simple sentences!

The moment Jason exposed the number of his soulbonds and the fact that he had a high soul amplification, a pair of eyes stared at him. It belonged to one of the middle-aged men from the Yinar race who understood what the 'high' in his soul amplification truly meant.

This caused him to sigh deeply as he remarked,

"If you were a Yinar, you might have been able to bind multiple wandering souls…*sigh* what a shame!"

Jason was glad that they weren't mad at him for injuring their children, and from the looks of it the youths understood the situation a little bit too. Thus, they didn't seem to hold any grudges against Jason.

Otherwise, the middle-aged men wouldn't accept Jennifer that easily as the human from Argos even invited the two to join them.

His eyes were focused on Jason, who had revealed that he had bound five soulbonds. He had further added that at least one of it was of a unique kind and shared its divine energy with him.

If the man were to know the truth, he would probably be a little bit more astonished. But Jason just smiled lightly before he asked one particular question, he was interested in.

"Why did Jan and Niles release killing intent after they had sensed Jennifer? Its rumored that someone other than humans from Argos shouldn't be able to enter the Ninad beast realm, but that is obviously not right.

Not only was Jennifer able to enter it, but there is also the Yinar race! Are there maybe even more races, I do not know about?"

Jason felt that he had to figure out if it was too dangerous for Jennifer to stay in the settlement, or if she would truly be accepted.

He might feel interested in the settlement because it was likely to help him in specific things he had yet to solve.

However, at the same time, he was not sure how everything in the Ninad beast realm worked. As such, getting to know the information was amongst the most important things he had to do.

With that in mind, he had asked the question, only to receive a rather confusing answer.

"Under normal means, only races that directly originated from Primal humans are able to enter the Ninad beast realm. Other than that, halflings can do the same because something about them seems to meet the same requirements as our races.

However, we don't know the exact reason for this, but we believe that the similarities between the Primal humans and halflings should be minuscule.

Either way, other races can also enter the Ninad beast realm by altering their portal.

This will turn the permanent entry portal with specific conditions into a temporary portal that has close to no requirement.

From the looks of it, our kids thought that other races were infiltrating the Ninad beast realm.. Fortunately, that didn't happen….yet!"
