Ian then said hasitly : “Whatever you found, I’m the only one who can remove those black particles now.”
Miguel then said angrily : “Your perception is still way too weak to detect them… Get the hell out of here… Now !”
But Lena then stepped forward and she said, looking at the form of Lilith who seemed to take great pleasure in their distress : “It’s over ! I’m going to free Atlas once and for all from you, you won’t be able to control him nor hurt him anymore.”
Lilith’s face then focused on this girl who had a strange white aura around her that she had never seen before, looking her up and down, and the only thing she was sure after her quick examination was that this girl was just a simple human and that apart from this white aura, there was nothing special about her, so she said to her in a voice full of disgust and contempt : “Humans were created to serve the Gods.
The natural order will soon be restored, but you are lucky because you will not experience this change that will plunge humanity into despair.”
She then said with an evil smile : “Human, prepare to die.”
Lena was unbothered by Lilith’s words and then she raised her hand and a white light came out which immediately dissipated the black aura that was around Atlas.
The image of Lilith disappeared immediately and Atlas who had finally found back his free will then looked at Miguel and Elias who were the most powerful beings here and he said to them, in a begging tone : “What are you waiting for, save her, take her away from here, my energy reserve is about to explode.”
Elias then chuckled and he said to him : “We don’t know each other yet but it seems that you don’t ever know your wife’s true power.”
He then looked at Miguel who had immediately relaxed when he realized that Lena’s white light was capable of dissipating that black aura and he asked him, even though he knew already the answer : “Are we still in danger ?”
Miguel then said, shaking his head : “It’s fine, Lena has eliminated Lilith’s microscopic black particle needles that served as a time bomb, there is no more danger.”
Atlas frowned when he heard this and he immediately focused on his energy reserve to check if what this man had just said was true or not, and indeed, the needles that were so microscopic that he had never managed to remove them because he was unable to spot them had totally disappeared.
Atlas widened his eyes and looked at Lena in awe whispering her name, and she then said to him : “As I just told Lilith, this time you are finally free, from now on you can choose the way you want to live your life.”
The white aura around her suddenly disappeared and she immediately fainted, falling face first, and despite the enormous fatigue he still felt, Atlas caught her and held her in his arms.
He then looked at the men who were still present and he thanked them by bowing his head as a sign of respect and he asked them, as he was completely unaware of what happened last week, after all, he was seriously injured and once he had sealed them off from the outside world, he had received no news : “Can you explain to me the current situation ?”
Miguel before answering him told Isaac and Caleb to come back with their men and he said to Atlas : “Sora has also passed out, I sent her to the demon territory because I know Solomon is the best one to watch over her.
Let Caleb and Kelan take Lena to join her sister, they’ve been apart long enough and they need each other, they’ll protect her until you get back to her.”
Atlas let out a sigh of resignation, he didn’t want to leave Lena but he still nodded, giving his consent.
Anyway, he was too weak at the moment to protest and Lena really wanted to be reunited with her sister so he had no problem with this man’s request.
So Caleb came to pick up Lena, and Miguel opened a teleportation portal for the three of them to join Solomon.
Once they were gone, Jordan conjured up a divine grade healing potion and threw it to Atlas who caught it and frowned, finally recognizing him : “Jordan ? What the hell are you doing here ?”
Jordan then told him : “It’s a long story, but to make it short, I’m fighting alongside the Warrior Spirits now and I’m under the command of these two men.”
He pointed to them in turn to introduce them to Atlas : “Elias is the God of War so you know already who he is, and Miguel is his husband… He is the most powerful mage in the universe, not even you can match him.”
Atlas was once again stunned but then he remembered Caleb’s words before he collapsed, that he was a Warrior Spirit under the command of the God of War and that this world was now under his protection… But was it true ?
He then asked Elias : “Are you really the God of War ?”
Elias nodded and when Atlas received his confirmation, he immediately told them : “The men of these two Goddesses are all over this world and they are looking for Acrium, you must absolutely stop them, if Lilith or the Emperor’s wife ever got hold of it, it would be the end of our universe as we know it.”
As Elias motioned for him to continue he told them what he had discovered because it was with Lena that he wanted to live now anyway, and if he had known their plan earlier he would never have helped them : “With this Acrium, Diana intends to create a weapon that would not only be able to kill a God, but also to pulverize a world.
She wants to create terror and she wants to use the Titans to invade worlds and enslave all of their inhabitants, and that’s really not what I wanted.”
