89 Chapter 87: A Dark Comeback

.....

"Why?" Ivery asked, not expecting to become an MVP at all

"Why? I had this planned years ago, I just knew you didn't feel ready for the attention that comes with it so I didn't add you in as soon as you were admitted into the academy even though I wanted to." Luther smiled

"And I need you near me at all times, it's not good to be apart right now, Eos is definitely planning something with care this time." Luther told Ivery with a serious tone

"I understand." Ivery didn't necessarily dislike the idea of being an MVP, because it was as Luther said, she just wasn't going to feel right with the attention that comes along with being in the S-class rank

"Good, the others have no problems with you joining us, so you can relax about being around them every day." Luther said

"I doubt they'd express their problem's about your decision's in front of you." Ivery sighed

"I guess not, but with me around, they wouldn't dare to get out of line." Luther reassured her

"Whether you're around or not, I can handle them just fine, so I dare them to try." Ivery told Luther, refusing his shielding

"So you're trying to say you don't need me?" Luther faked a frown

"Stop that, I'll always need you, but what I don't need is for you to be my walking shield, we talked about this." Ivery wrapped her arms around him

"I know...I just can't help the urge to want to be there for you at all times..." Luther sighed

"Thank you for that." Ivery smiled and kissed his cheek

"////" Luther blushed, not expecting a reward

"That's it Xia...good girl"

Xia sat in the underworld, absorbing the evil magic from the demon corpses. The ominous red magic slowly flowed into her.

The past 5 months Eos had been working on rebuilding Xia's prowess core into a ???????????????????????????????? core, a prowess core that has been tainted with evil energy. And this was the final step to completing her demenium core.

Red sparks emitted from Xia's body. Her dark grey hair began turning bright red and her black eyes had a red light shine within them.

Her lips curved as she felt the immense power flowing in her.

"Why didn't you do this sooner?" Xia asked Eos

"I wanted to see what Hecate's and Hade's children were capable of before I made any serious moves." Eos answered

"Serious moves? Are you saying everything we did before was-" Xia's eyes slightly widened

"A test, yes." Eos widely smiled

"You weren't trying to kill them?! All that time was spent for nothing?!" Xia stood up and couldn't believe what she was being told

"I told you to watch that little mouth of yours." Eos's voice deepened

"I apologize..." Xia looked down and felt a shiver go up her spine

"If I wanted to kill those two, I would have killed them by now." Eos said

"So..you weren't really intimidated by Luther?" Xia asked with a smile

"Of course I was." Eos admitted

"What!?" Xia was dumbfounded

"That boy...he has the same aura as a satan, he'll be a problem to kill since he achieved immortality..." Eos bit on her fingernail

"Unless you could manage to absorb his magic into you...then he'll be rendered to mortal at the very least...but you won't be able to take in all of the black magic in his body...that's way too much black magic for a mortal body..." Eos remembered the fear he imposed on her

"How much black magic does he even have?" Xia asked

"Equivalent to the amount of water in an ocean." Eos sighed

"An ocean?! How is that even possible??" Xia's eyes bulged out of her sockets

"He has an 'infinite attribute' from Hades, that power alone is immeasurable, on top of the massive additional black magic he obtained....he's certainly on par with an average dark god with the demonically wicked aura of a satan..." Eos told Xia

"No way....how am I supposed to beat him then...?" Xia asked with a worried expression

"You're not." Eos said

"I'm not?" Xia raised an eyebrow

"Of course not, he's far above your league, millions above your league actually, you'll never be able to kill him, ever." Eos bluntly said

"....." Xia's fighting spirit had quickly slipped away from her

"You'll be fighting Hecate's girl instead, I'll be going after Hades's boy since I'm closer to him in terms of power." Eos said with a sinister smile

"Innana? Perfect." Xia widely smiled

"Wait." Xia thought about something

"What is it?" Eos asked

"If I achieved turning my prowess core into a demenium from absorbing evil energy from a few demons and the dark miasma in the underworld, what would Luther's prowess core be since he has so much more dark magic than me within him?" Xia asked

"His prowess core is...." Eos's expression dropped

"What?" Xia saw the weird look on Eos's face

"It's an oblivion..." Eos said with a sigh

"An oblivion?" Xia didn't understand

"All of that immense dark magic within him tainted his prowess core so much that it turned into an oblivion, meaning his prowess core is now a dark source of energy that generates more black magic for him out of everything and nothing." Eos said

"??" Xia was more confused

"His prowess core, oblivion, is like a waterfall connecting to an ocean that's already filled with an endless amount of water, in simple, his black magic by itself can be said to be infinite as well." Eos tried to explain to Xia

"How? He has a mortal body right?" Xia asked in disbelief

"Hm...actually...no he doesn't, not anymore.." Eos laughed

"Somehow the black magic within him resonates with his soul, and doesn't destroy his body, soul, and mind because of that..." Eos said

"I don't follow..." Xia said with a confused expression

"Of course you don't..." Eos rubbed her forehead

"That boy...has definitely been reincarnated before..his soul isn't new if it can be a stabilizer for black magic....his soul must be very very very old.." Eos smiled when she came to the realization

"I wonder if Hades and Hecate know about this..." Eos said as she pondered about it, she was almost certain that Hades and Hecate did know about their souls

"Since we already established that Luther is a reincarnation....what about Inanna?" Xia remembered the godly aura she felt from Inanna that day

"That girl...it's also possible that she's a reincarnation as well....her body holds a lot of divine power for sure and that would be too much pressure on a mortal soul...and she's almost on par with Hades's boy..." Eos said, connecting dots

"I see now, it seems that these children weren't randomly chosen to hold the power that they do, nor did they obtain their power because they were pitied."

"Hecate and Hades would never do that for any random mortals, I've known them for hundreds and thousands of years, they both could care less about what happens in mortal worlds, if so then they would've blessed other unfortunate children with the same powers.." Eos said

"Two powerful gods, focusing their full attention on two mere mortals? And giving them powers equivalent to a god? It makes no sense, they have nothing to gain from it."

"Gods aren't as kind and good as you think they are....they only create their worlds and oversee it but they let the mortals control their own lives, gods will never get involved in a mortals life unless that mortal manages to ascend to an angel..."

"But for those two gods to stop overseeing their world just to tend to two mortals every question, wish, and demand, as if they're some kind of servants. Something just isn't right with that." Eos continued to speculate

"What are you trying to say?" Xia asked

"Those two children aren't who they think they are or rather they don't know who they were...but Hecate and Hades do.." Eos wickedly smiled
