Chapter 576
The second they passed through the gate, Thera wasted no time pulling away the paved stone below them and shaping it the best she could, creating a large basket for them to stand within as she flew them at high speeds to their distant destination while wind whipped by their faces.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
So how long until Theras going to be in danger of seeing this thing?
And how long till the world ends?
Fucking great, in that case, if you notice anything major before we arrive then let me know. Id hate to discover it has some crazy infinite torture ability that only activates when someone resists whatever its doing to anyones minds.
Once again, fucking great.
Very cool, well get back to that. For now, when do you think well start running into ghosts then?
Could have used some more heads-up!
Incoming! Thera yelled out, pulling him from his back and forth with Myriad as she jerked the basket upwards, causing a sudden fireball to hit its stone side instead of their far more delicate faces as the ghost in the distance prepared another, all while Ben directed a flurry of accusatory thoughts to his god.
Well, were sure seeing it now! Thera, give me a second!
He once more stole a painful quantity of her mana, filling his soul with the stuff before applying a layer of rainbow mana crystal to the front of the cart that left him wanting to heave. Even with his knowledge on the topic and his high skill level, hed still needed to rapidly take in a tenth of Theras insane volume to create that much but he didnt have time to recover. He was already reaching over the edge to apply the enchantments it needed before yelling a direction for her.
He was seeing both creatures histories, finding theyd come from both a void and jovian race which made them alien enough to him as he explored what he could of their thoughts and memories to learn of their people and culture, finding nothing objectionable about their god tossing the two tyrants into hell, but when it came to that part of their existences it was nothing but a blank. An empty space where it seemed like no real memories had been able to form, only an intense feeling of madness.
It left him all the more curious about what the infinite hells even were but he pushed the thought away for the time being, resolving to explore the minds of any other ghosts they came across and instead focused on a different discovery. They were being controlled.
Myriad! It looks like all of these things are able to cast their spells because they have something exerting their will over them, whats the odds its the outsider?
Wow, I really wish I could get some more definite answers than just a bunch of maybes and probablys.
I know, I know, sorry. How are things up there?
Okay, bad sounds like an understatement.
Which is?
...I fucking hate every single one of you up there.
Myriad sighed in his head.
Fine, but if all of you assholes up there are going to be depending on me then just you wait, Im coming for a proper reward whether you like it or not! I am not being treated as the worlds last freaking hope without being properly compensated!
Fine, Ben gave in, all while his thoughts were filled with grumbles about no good gods who were only willing to properly appreciate him when they could see a way hed be useful.
