God's Eyes-Chapter 930 - Mark of a God

Chapter 930 - Mark of a God

Jason wasn't helping the Yinar race with the hopes of receiving something in return.

Nevertheless, he was happy about the small bucket of purest Soa crystals that he received from the City Lord's attendant.

Brushing his hands over the crystals, Jason immediately sensed that they were far more potent in comparison to the normal Soa crystals.

As such, it was no wonder that he felt like he had garnered half of the Soa crystal ingredients which he required for the True Soul awakening.

This was much faster than expected, and under normal circumstances, reaching this state would have taken him roughly a hundred of the missions he completed before.

The purest Soa crystals he received made a huge impact and added to his wealth of ingredients immensely. This caused Jason to question whether he should take on more difficult missions or continue siding with the extremely safe side.

Yet, in the end, there was no mission that truly suited him and Jennifer except the most difficult Tier-4 missions that were likely to kill either him, Jennifer, or maybe both!

Thus, the two of them continued to complete normal missions while listening to the gossip that spread through the entire city.

From the looks of it, the Kianan race could only slowly emerge from the enlarged and stabilized portal, not rush in a huge number at once. This meant that the Yinar race could counterattack now or never.

Despite that, an entire week had passed before the higher-ups of the Yinar race decided to do something.

This clearly showed how scared they were of the Soul Monarch, and what they had seen using Jason's foretelling ability.

Jason hoped that he was not the cause for the delay in their action because this would have made his foretelling more of a burden than being of any help.

As such, he kept himself up to date with the latest news and soon heard of a specific mission for strong Ascendion stage beings and Specta stage powerhouses.

It was a mission about reclaiming, or if necessary, destroying a mine that had been conquered by wandering souls.

This was already weird because wandering souls had never attempted to claim a Soa crystal mine, to begin with.

Thus, after some research it was found out that the said wandering souls were underlings of the Soul Monarch, providing him with Soa crystals to help him with the upkeep and maintaining the stable state of the enlarged portal he had created.

After a week of intensive searching, the mine had been found and the information about its whereabouts and current status acquired.

Furthermore, the location of the enlarged and stabilized portal has been found out too.

It had been found by one of the adventuring Yinar who was neither in direct contact the Kianan race nor with the other individuals of his own race, who had found the portal.

Sharing the acquired information with the others through a messenger crystal, he left his race alone afterward.

When Jason heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit weird about the actions of the adventuring Yinar.

But then he didn't have the time to find faults with him because every person had the freedom to act of his own free will and could not be judged on how they chose to act in the face of danger for themselves or others.

As such, there was no need to waste time on judging how some individuals reacted to the news of the Kianan race's infiltration and the Soul Monarch's presence that became more and more intense.

So far, there were no clues Jason received about the appearance of the Soul Monarch or his Guards.

However, that was not necessary because he had been able to conclude something when he had used Sira's foretelling ability.

Both the City Lord and his master had simply been too shocked right from the beginning when Jason said it was the same guy, up to the last few moments of the foretold projection.

Thus, Jason concluded that the middle-aged man he had encountered was none other than the Soul Monarch himself.

He was not sure why the Soul Monarch would openly warn him about the mission, risking exposing his true and secret identity, but that was not something Jason could find an answer to, either way.

The only thing he could assume was that the Soul Monarch had figured out his potential, which made him be interested in Jason.

However, without knowing the actual truth, he could only assume things.

With that in mind, concluding specific answers was useless.

Instead of doing that, Jason had thus focused on the missions at hand, only to encounter Elder Ben, who seemed to have been waiting for him and Jennifer in the mission hall.

This was quite obvious as he approached Jason the moment he opened the entrance door of the building.

"Jason, you are finally back! Do you have some time to spare?"

The expression and tone of the Elder's voice caused Jason to furrow his eyebrows almost immediately.

It was as if he knew something big was about to happen.

Because of that, Jason postponed handing in the goods they had taken from the mission hall to complete the missions he and Jennifer had solved today.

He still had lots of time left before the completed missions would have to be handed in.

"How can I help you, Elder?"

There was no need to beat around the bush, which was something Jason disliked doing in a situation like this.

Understanding this, Elder Ben just nodded his head as he pointed out what he wanted from Jason straightforwardly.

"Can you accompany the Elite of Liun, including the few guys that train under me, to reclaim the Soa crystal cave?

They will be sent out with other Elite Units, and two dozen Specta stage powerhouses who hail from our home planets, but I'm feeling a little bit queasy.

I don't want anything to happen to them, and I know that you have yet to reveal your true strength.

This new ring of yours is nothing ordinary, after all!"

Talking about Jason's God's Halo that had taken on the shape of a faintly glowing ring on his finger, Elder Ben seemed to be roughly aware of what he was talking about. He was peering at the ring intently and had noticed that he hadn't seen it earlier.

Jason was not sure whether he should think that this was astonishing, or possibly even disadvantageous for him.

Yet, seeing the expression of the Elder, Jason figured that he didn't care about him, at all.

Rather, Elder Ben wanted the youths that trained under him to be supported and if necessary protected, by Jason.

"From where did you hear what this ring might actually be?"

This was something Jason was curious to know because he wanted to figure out if everyone could simply identify the God's Halo at first glance, and if it was necessary to hide it.

Yet, this didn't seem to be the case as Elder Ben answered,

"To be honest, I can only gauge what this ring might be because I once read an ancient book about specific legends that spoke about the Marks of a God.

I believe this ring is one of such signs, indicating that you can become a God. That means you have the talent for that, I guess?"

Seeing that the Elder was not exactly sure if that was truly the case, Jason nodded his head. His eyes turned to Jennifer who was doing the same as well.

'Did she hear about the Marks of a God too?' He thus wondered only to say out loud.

"Alright, in that case, there is no problem. But what will happen once we reclaim the Soa crystal mine? Won't the Soul Monarch attempt to retrieve it??

Given the strength of Cultivators you've just mentioned, everyone will die in an instant!"

It was necessary to point out specific issues, and there were more than enough obstacles they would have to face while claiming the Soa crystal mine.

As such, Jason wanted to be on the safe side and had voiced out his doubts clearly. However, he received an unsatisfying answer.

"Don't think about it too much. Our true powerhouses are on their way. They have had enough of the Soul Monarch and his threats…They will probably reach the area around the enlarged portal around the time you and the others will reach the Soa crystal mine!"
