Chapter 1349 Cap 1347: A Father's Request
?When my mind was clearing after the madness of integrating this complete Essence.
I was caught off guard once again, I expected physical pain, mental pain, or perhaps pain directly into my Soul, I never considered that the Essence's reaction could be different depending on which Essence it was.
I think it makes sense for a Demonic Essence to try to corrupt the person, it was a feeling worse than pain, not having control over my body, mind and emotions was one of the worst things I experienced if I don't count what I went through in Hell.
When I looked at my body I was surprised, my flesh was half melted while my bones were distorted, I wasn't even able to speak and yet I didn't feel pain or any other type of suffering.
"(What happened to my body?)" (I)
"< Incarnation of Blood >" (I)
I was very tired, even though I forced the use of Blood Essence for a few seconds, my body was completely converted into blood that I control to restore my body to its normal state before deactivating the technique.
"That was... it was hard... but I'm better now."?(I)
Sigh
As soon as I deactivated the technique my knees fell to the ground due to my body's weakness, I did this because my body wasn't healing properly, I could feel it but I wasn't in a position to use a technique that uses Essence in my current state, the burden was too much for me.
"You did well this time, I didn't expect the Essence to maintain a trail of will, but I should have seen it coming."?(God Cratos)
"Your match was also good, but in the end, there seemed to be something wrong, are you okay now?"?(God Cratos)
"I am fine."?(I)
I try to get a few bottles of blood and drink them one after another stacking empty bottles at the side until I feel satisfied once again, the blood helps me recover body fatigue and replenish my energy, its taste is also a relief to my mind to relax.
Sigh
"It seems like I haven't fully recovered..." (I)
Suddenly I feel a murderous intent returning, it's still far from what I went through before, but the simple fact that it's still there bothers me.
It also feels like my emotions are still being influenced, the more negative emotions like hate, anger, and envy are standing out above the other emotions within me even though there is no reason.
"(If it weren't for Caitlyn's emotional training and the things I went through in Hell this would be a problem, especially since I suspect this could be permanent.)" (I)
"There is no need to maintain formalities when speaking to me, you do not belong to my Religion and you are no longer a Mortal, so speak as you see fit."(God Hernoth)
"Thank you, I really don't like formalities."(I)
While talking to the Demonic God I felt the Essence once again trying to leave my Soul to affect my body, luckily I was on guard and managed to use the Blood Essence that I have the greatest control over to keep the Demonic Essence in place.
"Sit in an armchair, I'll join you soon."(God Hernoth)
"Thanks."(I)
I sit in one of the armchairs and wait in silence, I closed my eyes for what seemed like just seconds to be able to regain control of my Essence and keep my murderous intent within me.
When I opened my eyes again, there was someone around 20 years old sitting in the armchair in front of me, he had black hair, olive skin, golden eyes, and was wearing clothes that resemble a suit with bone decorations.
He looked like a young Human man, but his eyes are abnormally calm and cold, I can't feel any Aura or presence coming from him and I won't try to do such a thing.
"You have masterful control over your Demonic Essence, you seem to have a talent with Demonic power, I imagine that this talent is due to your Mother."(God Hernoth)
"Thank you for the compliment, God Hernoth."(I)
"I would like to know what I can do for you?"(I)
"I can't imagine a reason for you to wait for me this long when this should be our first time meeting each other."(I)
"I'm here for a selfish reason, for me, it's something difficult to accomplish, but for you, it should be easy considering you've already done something similar."(God Hernoth)
"..." (I)
What worries me is the reason for this interest in me, I have never met this Demonic God before and I am not sure of his intentions, he is different from the other Gods I know.
Goddess Aine seems to be the type to do what she wants, just like my mother, they are direct with her intentions.
The Goddesses Mavis and Kalistos are mysterious operating on a level of thought that I am not able to understand, even among the other Gods these two are special and I don't know how to deal with them or describe their personalities.
The Gods Hatlas, Cratos, Fenrir, and Akatosh are all sincere in the way they speak, act, and behave simply, they are easy to see personality, and they are honest without a hint of falsehood, what you see is what you get take it with them.
I prefer not to think about the God Baldr, he is arrogant, proud, and very narcissistic to the point of irritating me, he does not behave at all like a God of Light, he clearly uses his Religion as pieces in a game.
But this Demonic God in front of me is different, his behavior may seem elegant, but everything about him screams danger, what I see is far from being all there is about him and those are certainly not the eyes of someone with a good heart.
Because he is this way I'm more uncomfortable dealing with him now, but there's nothing I can do, he's definitely not a Minor God like those I fought against in the tournament, he's strong enough for me to know I have no chance of even touching it in a fight that would last less than 1 second.
"Don't be nervous or anxious, I want your help with something... but this isn't a God's cry for help, this is a Father's cry for help."(God Hernoth)
