"Sorry about that. My powers have been going out of hand ever since I started controlling them." Wade sighed as the darkness resided and entered his body.
He flexed his shoulders a bit before smiling at Jason and Amber. "Nice to see you both again after a long time."
"Years have passed by since we last met," Jason agreed. "You have changed a lot."
"As if you are one to speak."
Jason noticed that Wade was a few inches taller than him though he didn't mind it too much. Height wasn't something concerning to him.
'Hmm, I guess I have to cut my hair as well.' Jason suddenly noticed that his hair had grown much longer and were now irritating him.
[ You could have asked Risa to do it for you before coming here. ]
'I guess I will do it once we get back.'
"Now that all three of you are gathered together, I will tell you the real reason we are here." Diana announced. "Starting tomorrow, Jason is going to visit the remainder of the sins house to get their rings and see if they react with Jason.
We are also going to take Amber to a special spot located in the house of lust. Wade, you already know that you will be going to the house of greed. Once all of this is done, you three will meet Lucius and hear our side of story regarding Julian Vancouver."
The trio nodded after receiving the information of their travel for the upcoming days.
"Why are you doing this though?" Jason asked curiously.
"That's a secret," Koro smiled. "When the time is right, we will tell you the reason for this."
Jason raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. For the time being, he decided to trust the sins.
"Who are we going to visit first?" Wade asked.
"My house!" Koro replied cheerfully. "We will get you nice and comfy there before going to sis Diana's house. Any other questions you guys have?"
"What exactly am I going to experience in the house of lust?" Amber asked with narrowed eyes.
"Even I don't know that. I just know that you're the right person to take there. Only time will tell what you might face."
"That sounds rather ominous…"
The trio didn't have any other questions to ask and simply let the sins guide them towards their room.
Jason was surprised to see that despite being present in the manor of a big family related to a sin, the rooms were quite standard.
A simple plain black bed and a closet with an attached mirror were the only pieces of furniture in the room.
Jason summoned some food from thin air before lying on the bed with a sigh.
'System, please keep a check on my surroundings.' Jason said before closing his eyes to sleep.
It took him a few minutes to get adjusted to extreme quietness of the place before falling asleep.
…
"Hmm, where am I now?"
Seconds later, Jason was sitting on top of what looked like the peak of a mountain. He could see snow stretching down for kilometers with no signs of life visible anywhere.
"You are in the waiting area of my domain." A warm familiar voice spoke from behind. "I finally got the time to meet you and explain things about my divinity."
Jason turned back and came face to face with Sancus. The god of oaths looked exactly the same like the first time Jason had met him.
"Hello."
"Let's move to somewhere more comfortable looking." Sancus clapped his hands. "This should be a good place to discuss the powers of my divinity."
Jason and Sancus were now standing in an office room with tons of papers sprawled all across the room.
Some papers were littered on the floor while some were hovering in the room. Some were kept on shelves while some were placed on a big wooden desk with a lot of other office related things.
"Welcome to one of my offices where I and my twin, Horkos, keep tracks of all the oaths sprawled across the various. Not all of them are made in our names though. We just keep track of all those made in the name of Greek and Roman gods.
We also keep track of the oaths and contracts from the worlds assigned to us. Its one heck of a tough job." Sancus sighed.
Jason on the other hand was surprised to see that despite being such a god, Sancus still had to a tough job. There was no leaving your work behind."
"How many oaths and contracts are present in this room right now?" Jason asked curiously.
"The ones that was are visible are around two hundred thousand. After adding the ones that are not visible, there are almost fifty million of them here." Sancus replied.
'Well there goes any chance of me becoming his assistant later on.'
If Jason was going to have to stick with paperwork for all eternity, he would go ahead and take his chances by being reincarnated again.
[ You can think of all that when you actually die. Come back to reality right now. ]
'Right.'
Sancu made his way through the bundles of paper and sat down on the chair near the desk.
He crossed his legs and looked at Jason with curious eyes. "Summon your divinity."
Jason did as told and called upon the purple pen. It materialized in front of him with a dull flash of light and started hovering in front of his face.
"So that's the extra divinity I handed out…" Sancus muttered with a dazed expression. "Its purple instead of the normal blue. What do you think of it?"
"Um, I don't know much about it I though you were the one who was going to tell me about your divinity."
"My normal divinity allows you to have divine oaths, something not everyone can do. It also prevents you from being enslaved or being forced to sign a contract. It gives you the power to nullify unfair contract you have signed.
Contracts signed using my divinity will forever be binding unless both parties agree to dissolve the contract under fair circumstances. There are more benefits but you have to become my follower for that." Sancus summarized.
"Those are pretty all right."
"Anything else that you have noticed about my divinity which seems unusual?" Sancus questioned.
"Uh, I can break others out of their contracts…" Jason replied awkwardly.
Sancus immediately slammed the tables as his eyes widened a bit.
"What did you just say?!
