Chapter 599: Dawn
Skuld’s intuition was not wrong in deducting that someone was indeed interfering and hiding the reverberation from propagating and being noticed by those with a certain level of understanding in the river of time.
Sitting alone in her chapel, Aurora felt the blood dripping from her nose, eyes and lips. Her eyes, damp with blood, could barely open but her face only showed a mixture of complicated feelings.
He grew stronger again.
Aurora had only woken up a few years ago in this era but thanks to her own memory and the general knowledge available to someone of her station, she knew more about the power system of those mortals and she knew that becoming a King was not something that should happen so easily.
How long had it been since Sol even awakened? If the time spent in the astral realm and so one was added, it would not even necessarily reach a year.
In less than a year, the boy had gone from one with no power to nearly a King. She knew that even for someone with supreme talent, it was definitely a little too fast.
Of course, Aurora or rather, Dawn, did not care about the power level of a normal King. Even the strength and power someone like Lilith displayed did not enter her sight. She had no care about how powerful mortals could be. At the end of the day, even the strongest mortal would only be a mortal.
But Sol was different...
Dawn summoned a ball of water with her hand and wiped away the blood from her face. If anyone saw this display, they would be quite surprised as humans were not able to control elements unless they had a zone that was closely related to an element.
Dawn was not bound by such restrictive rules. As the goddess of the night and the moon thanks to the authority she devoured from her sister, Dawn possessed minor divinity related to the moon and water. Manipulating the law in this case was pretty easy for her.
Once her face was completely clean, she opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at the status of Castitas in the chapel.
Sol’s existence was not something that should be normally possible. Back then, in order to put Adam down, all the gods had to unite and fight back. Even then, they would have and should have failed. Adam was simply that much powerful.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
But for some reason they succeeded and were able to scatter Adam’s soul in all corners of the universe.
Dawn did not know how they did it. After all, she died before the success of the plan. But she had been the one to design the plan and even in the worst case, Adam’s shouldn’t have been able to awaken, even if partially, in a new vessel before another one or two thousand years.
The other possibility was to be killed by the very concept of the END. There was no reincarnation possible in this case. Only pure and simple extermination.
At least this was what she had managed to summarize. But this truth brought a different problem in mind.
Those killed by the power of the End could never come back and yet, here she was, surely weakened, but alive and well after getting decapited by Adam.
She should have died for good.
Her soul should have been extinguished.
But neither happened and she was not the only one.
Why?
Why did Adam bring the Twilight of the Gods? Why did he kill some using the power of the End and kill others without?
Was it a small hypocritical feeling of compassion after betrayed those who trusted him? Or was it something more.
“You have to survive.”
It was stupid, reckless, short sighted, ignorant and very dangerous but, until she managed to obtain a straight answer to her question, she would not be able to rest and for that — Sol needed to live.
That was all. There was no other intention.
This was what Dawn thought as she closed her eyes and ignored the small seed of hope in her heart that refused to die out.
After all, she still did not know what she would do once she obtained an answer.
