Chapter 839: Explanation

Sam was surprised, to say the least when he looked at the situation.

This whole area was ruined as if a storm hit.

Silva floating in the pool like a corpse. If not for the faint breathing, Sam would have thought he really is a corpse.

And finally grace. He didn't expect they would manage to keep her alive until now. He activated energy vision and checked the situation and the pool really invoked his curiosity.

The vitality that the pool is emitting is just too much.

If it could be channeled properly, then it could heal even a Consummate easily. Then Sam changed his attention to Silva who is floating.

He was stunned for a second. The damage that he took is actually is very severe. The energy waves coming out of his body are all messed up completely.

Sam placed his hand on his body and started checking. The observation ability showed him one of the worst states a person could be in.

Every muscle fiber was torn apart, the wing joints are also completely broken off. So many veins were broken and bleeding internally. But the vitality from the pool is still trying to keep up with the damage and trying to heal him. Put him back into the shape.

While he was lost in a daze, Priestess yelled from behind.

"I want you to save her. I will give you the weapon fragment and you can get out of here."

"Don't worry, it is not that difficult to save her. I will do it. But I have a different deal to make. Are you up for it?"

"What is that?"

"I will save his ass. What would you pay for that?"

"He doesn't need any saving."

"Not really. I don't know what exactly happened, but every muscle fiber of his body is torn apart and every organ is displaced as if the whole body was shaken. Every system that ensures the survival of the person is damaged. The bones are broken in weird places and there is a severe clot in the brain. If you let him heal like that, the bones and joints would form back in a different way and the whole body wouldn't function normally.

He would live a fate worse than death. He couldn't even walk, sit, stand, fly, anything. Are you sure you want him to heal like that?"

"Wha... What are you saying?"

"I am not fooling you. You can check it out yourself. Even if you couldn't get a detailed view of what I said, you could at least get some basic understand if you examine him.

I will cure her while you do it. But before that, Can I see the weapon fragment?"

She went out to the large statue and started rotating the last remaining base of it. The sound of some large cogs could be heard and soon a large square tile in front of the statue went down a bit and slid sideways.

There is a purple metal rod that has one smooth edge and another broken edge.

She took it out and ran back to Sam, but didn't give it to him.

Sam shrugged and went to pull Grace out of the pool and started healing her. After rescuing her, Priestess threw the metal rod towards him.

He caught it and examined it.

The metal seems to be an alloy of different metals because he couldn't find a match within all the metals in his memory.

He stored that away and asked.

"What about the other deal? Are you interested in it?"

By now the priestess has already checked the situation with him and started thinking on what to do. She felt that Sam's words have some merit in them. But she doesn't have anything to pay with.

"What do you want? Spirit stones?"

"No, I have too many of them."

"Then I don't have anything else to pay with. In fact, there is nothing anyone can offer you here other than the spirit stones.

We just lost our support from Nike. The statues collapsing is the result of that. After a few days, I think the other places will invade us and start a war. Taking over this land under their rule and making our branch of the race as slaves."

"Mind telling me what happened here?"

Sam asked while he looked at Grace. Arkiv is currently taking care of her. He is feeding her pills that are good for healing the soul and cleaning the body.

Sam raised an eyebrow at this.

Priestess didn't seem to care about anything. She felt that she has seen too much today as she explained what happened.

Sam listened to it intently and said.

"The rules of the planet are being changed like that? Then what about now? What are the current rules?"

"We cannot breakthrough past the Transcendent realm. Once we reach the peak, we have to apply to leave this place and join the army of Zeus and have our breakthrough there.

Even the six family heads go there and come back.

I don't know what is it like there and what they usually saw there. But from the looks of it, after every king came back, he would behave like he lost a part of his soul there. They wouldn't show the same reverence they had towards Goddess Nike or Zeus.

I thought it has something to do with his wife, but I don't know the exact details."

"Well, another god with a mountain of narcissism and not even a grain of compassion. Not really surprising if you ask me. I do have a proposal for you, but I don't know if you would agree to it."

"What is that?"

Sam smiled and started explaining everything in detail. She received shock after shock by the time he finished. By the end of it, she has her mouth open wide.

"You can think about it. I can save you from this whole fiasco and get you a new lease on your life. If you would like that, you can agree."

"But it is not exactly my decision to make."

"Of course it is not. You can ask him if he wants to think about it after he wakes up. I will treat him for now. You have until the year-end for you to agree."

After that, Sam started the treatment, he dragged that guy out of the pool and started setting the bones back in his body, and started using the heavenly wine slowly and also trying his best to divert all the vitality from the heavenly wine to the parts that he wanted to heal first.

Then came the internal organs.

Sam is using his observation and the water elemental energy to move the body parts within the body. He is using the blood and other bodily fluids to do so.

Even though it is dangerous, it is not as dangerous as leaving them be.

The treatment took the rest of the night and until dawn, Sam is slowly working on each organ and healed every part separately, finally going for the brain.

The blood clot there seemed to have been caused by the spiritual energy.

He seemed to have used the spiritual energy to damage his own brain to get rid of that goddess and the sudden throwing into the pool caused him to clot the injury.

Sam can only dissolve the clot bit by bit and it took three hours completely.

While he is treating him, the other party that is also responsible for this situation is not exactly having an easy time.

Within the Olympus region, the Nike mansion.

Nike is sitting in a room with her face all gloomy and angry. She wanted to go back to the Nike Planet to deal with him after she was forcefully thrown away, but before she could do that, the statues which are the only means for them to contact her are all destroyed.

If she wants to deal with them, she can only deal with them with the help of other Feathered in the remaining five cities.

But before she could contact them, she got summoned by someone.

And there is only one person that could summon her like that.

She has to go there in the next few minutes, that is why she is being anxious.

After five minutes or so sitting there, she walked out and flew into space. After a while, she arrived in a different realm.

This is the realm Zeus uses to meet with outsiders.

At this moment, within this realm, there is a large open circular table where Zeus is sitting along with Gambler, Karthikeya, and Sunwukong.

When she arrived Zeus looked at her calmly and said.

"She is the one who did it. She is just too loyal to me and doesn't want my player to lose. That is why she did it. What do you want me to do now?"

"You have to make her pay the price of course?" Gambler said from the side.

"What kind of price would that be? What do you want her to do?"

"She doesn't need to do anything we want, she is going to do something for candidates she hindered. But first, tell her to retract her orders."

"She would give the players a compensation based on their ranks after this round of competition is ended, but the second thing wouldn't happen. She just attended some ritual and it bans her from going back to the statue possession at the moment. "

The three of them looked at Zeus and Karthikeya spoke.

"Okay then, let us call for a meeting tomorrow and you can explain it to the rest of the group. They didn't want to come to your place."

"Sure."

"And take care of the rest of your subordinates, next time I wouldn't come asking like this, I will just throw a spear right into their territory." Kartikeya left those words before the three of them left.
