Chapter 339

Elias then said to him : “Iris, the woman Alan saved was one of the first Warrior Spirits I found, to lose her today would have been truly an unbearable pain.”

Kevin nodded as he couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose someone you had known for so long and then he asked him still curious: “So you rallied the Warrior Spirits and fought the Gods together, and what happened next ?”

Elias then said to him : “This universe was created by the one called the Creator, and with the Warrior Spirits we killed so many Gods that it got his attention and one day just after a battle I found myself standing in front of him.”

He then told them when he saw that they were shocked by this news : “I immediately fought against him using all the powers of my Stage 3 but he didn’t even move or try to counter my attacks, my sword which was made entirely of Acrium broke cleanly on contact with this being.

Then he made 2 identical thrones appear one in front of the other and after sitting quietly on one of them he invited me to take the other one and he asked me why me and my Warrior Spirits were attacking the Gods.

I calmed down immediately, as it was impossible to beat him anyway, and I stood in front of him and told him what was happening in our worlds.

I told him what the Gods were doing to the humans and why even if I were to die today, other Warrior Spirits would appear and continue to fight against them.”

Except for Miguel, no one had ever heard this story and they were all hanging on Elias’ lips to find out what happened next and Kevin then asked him with a frown: “This Creator, was he on the side of the Gods ?”

What Elias told them next really surprised them: “He wasn’t on either side, he told me that he had created this universe so that no matter what happened the balance between evil and good would be balanced, only what surprised him was that he had given their power to the Gods while the Warrior Spirits had nothing to do with him.

He explained to me that it was surely the magic he had used to create this universe that had given the Warrior Spirits their powers. As because of the Gods he had created, the balance between evil and good was no longer respected, and that was why the Warrior Spirits were born, to restore this balance, as it was the very foundation of this universe.

I learnt everything about the Warrior Spirits from him, all the knowledge I taught you, but strangely enough he never told me what the symbols that appeared on our bodies when we transformed into Stage 3 meant.

Then, once he had listened to me and answered my questions, he offered me to make peace with the Gods and for me to accept this offer, he offered me to become the most powerful of the Gods, and of course I refused because I was already more powerful than the most powerful of the Gods.”

Kevin smirked, indeed there was no reason for Elias to accept this kind of agreement and as no one dared to ask questions he then asked him : “Yet you became the God of War so what did you ask in exchange ?”

Elias smiled and kissed Miguel’s hand before answering : “I became a Stage 3 Warrior Spirit at 17, because I saw Miguel get disintegrated in front of my eyes, and right before he disappeared he told me ‘Keep fighting, don’t let them win … Kill every last one of them, you are strong enough to face them … Use all your power.'”

He looked at Miguel who was also looking at him with adoration in his eyes and he then continued : “When I rejected the Creator’s offer I told him that I would continue to fight until I had fulfilled my husband’s wish and that my life without him was of no interest to me anyway, I told him that once I had killed the last of the Gods I would find a way to die and go to find him wherever he was.

After that the Creator offered me to bring Miguel back to life and I then sat down and started negotiating with him.”

Kevin couldn’t believe it, so Miguel had died and he had been resurrected and as he saw that Elias had no intention of saying anything more about his encounter with the Creator he just said: “Unbelievable, you’re really amazing.”

Miguel smiled happily seeing Kevin’s enthusiasm and he understood better why this kid had caught his husband’s attention, not only was he a great fighter but he still had a pure heart no matter how hard life had been tough with him.

Willow then said to Kevin, ‘Dad, Miguel doesn’t look good either, let me help him too.’

Kevin looked at her and he asked her, ‘Sweety, are you sure, Miguel is very powerful, he’ll get over it in no time, you know.’

Willow then said to him very seriously, ‘You’re wrong, if someone as powerful as him is in this state then it’s very serious, and it will take him a long time to recover, I’m not sure if I can help him much, but the little energy I can give him should be enough to get his regeneration ability working again.’

Working again, thought Kevin as he gave a quick look at Miguel, he asked her getting worried about his Master’s husband, ‘What do you mean by that ? Is there a problem with his regeneration ability ?’

Willow then explained to him, ‘According to the knowledge I have received, when someone exhausted his energy reserve and continues to insist on using it, then his regeneration ability stop working to force him to rest. That’s why mental fatigue can even make a God pass out. When he will go resting, he won’t wake up for days, maybe even a week, because the more powerful you are the longer you stay unconscious, that’s the price he’ll pay for having drawn so much from his energy reserves.’

Kevin then contacted Axel through their telepathic link and after explaining to him what Willow had just told him, Axel then asked him, ‘Is she sure this is safe for her ?’

Kevin nodded and Miguel then asked them curious: “Why are the three of you keep looking at me ?”

Kevin after getting Axel’s approval said to him : “Willow would like to help you.”
