Chapter 124: A demigod
The ocean turned back to its normal state after Adonis picked up her head and walked closer to Viktor.
Viktor who was enjoying the fight became happy that Adonis won and his swordplay was fascinating. He wanted to cheer for him but there was something else that he wanted to do first.
Devour her fragment.
Adonis walked closer to his chair and kneed in front of him to say, "I offer the head of my prey to my master."
He raised both of his hands along with the separated head in his hands and spread his white golden sparkle wings on the ground.
Viktor stood up and took the head of Irelika. Her fragment was still alive so he opened the hollow channel in his body. Adonis walked away from him and dragged Ijin and Baek far away from him.
Because he knew something was about to happen.
This is more than enough to fill the gap inside my fragment core. With this, I can achieve something that nobody has ever anticipated. I can break through the barrier.
Finally, the last piece of my core...
Her head quickly turned into dust and a white glowing bulb of light became visible. The white wave was rotating around and slowly entering his hands.
The hollow on his chest started to emit a golden aura and soon, the white floating bulb on his hands vaporized. His body took it all in.
Even though he wasn't feeling anything, his body was going through a huge change. His eyes turned silver with golden rings and his hair turned pure white. Not only that, all of his records inside his library became different and the room which was closed for all these years finally opened. A pen which didn't exist before was found inside the room.
He knew what kind of pen it was.
His body was emitting so much light that Adonis had to cover his eyes. It was so bright that all five of them had to cover their eyes with their hands and still it was bright.
'I, I can see everything...'
An empty book appeared in front of him so he held it and saw the index of the library. It was a notebook that had every information about anyone's record. Even the god was included in the list.
The bright light disappeared and Viktor's feet touched the ground. He looked around and saw everything was different and then he realised that he grew taller. His body was light as air and his senses became so sharp.
'So this is how I'm supposed to feel with my full fragment.'
He looked at his chest and saw the golden hollow become bigger and brighter. Even the hollow above his head was glowing brighter.
At that moment, Adonis, Rae and Welis walked closer to him and kneed. "I surrender to the guardian of the Records, Elerous Siris," Rae said.
Viktor was surprised because all three of them were kneeling in front of him. He told the three of them to stand up and act normal.
"Adonis, I am proud of you. You should rest for the day now. You worked too much. Now. Sleep."
Suddenly, Adonis became unconscious and fell on his lap. He used too much mana against a powerful guardian that he was using his lifespan to walk and talk. So Viktor ordered him to sleep and he immediately fell as if he turned off the switch.
He went into a deep sleep.
"Hahah!! Look at him, sleeping like a baby. It's been more than half a century since I saw him this defenceless in my arms. He still looks the same." Viktor picked him up with both hands and went inside the tent to lie him on the bed.
At that moment, Baek came closer and said, "You just killed an innocent citizen. I can't believe you..."
Thrump!!!!!
Rae and Welis grabbed his nape and made him kneel on the hard ground. Both of them also kneed and said, "I apologise for his idiotic way of speaking my king. Please forgive him."
Viktor burst out of laughter and said, "What are you saying? Me being a king?" novE/lb)1n
Rae nodded his head no and said, "King isn't the right way to address you. Lord is the right one."
It was true that Viktor reached the peak where he could be addressed as a demigod or the next god candidate. But he didn't want to be addressed as a demigod. He wanted to live a peaceful life where he could sleep through the entire day and watch drama or anime.
That's why he didn't want to go to the realm of guardian where he was powerful enough to break through the gate of heavens.
Viktor looked at Baek and said, "You're forgetting something, Baek. I am not a human and now I can just delete you like a file from the laptop in just one click. So be careful how you run your mouth or I'll accidentally turn you into dust with my aura."
Baek nodded his head and then the two of them dragged him out of the tent. He was going to receive a lesson of his life.
"Now, it's time for you to rest inside my garden. I can't put you outside so my garden is the best place for you."
A black door appeared in front of him and he walked through the door to enter his greenhouse.
His greenhouse was massive and he had multiple beds inside it. He prepared them as his resting place but he never used them. So it was perfect for Adonis to let him sleep.
Viktor took off his shoes and burned all the clothes without harming him a little. His wings were so big that he was confused.
"How should I put you down?"
He used floating magic around his body and folds his wings. "This will be better."
Adonis's body fell onto the soft warm bed and he wrapped him with a warm silk golden blanket. He looked so happy.
"Now, have a good night's sleep. Take a warm bath after you wake up and then call me. I'll go outside now. We will return to earth after you wake up so don't worry."
Viktor fixed his blanket and went outside after taking some fruits from his greenhouse.
'His physical condition is saying that he will take at least 2 months to recover his empty mana pool and lifespan. Even though he has a line of connection with me, he's not that immortal like me. He is bound to get exhausted after using too much mana. Unlike me who has infinite mana now, he doesn't have it. He needs to recover his mana pool.
So, I need to take care of him.
Viktor didn't have any infinite mana before. But after he devoured lots of fragments, his fragment grew and reached infinity after he filled the last gap of his fragment.
He was five steps further away from being a normal human. And he was walking further away day by day to achieve his goal.
...
Elesis and Elerous are twins born from the guardian of books and the guardian of truth. When they were forming, both guardians noticed something different.
The new guardian which was being created was supposed to be one person. The seat for the 7th generation thorne was also prepared at that time which was connected to its fragment.
But something different happened and the core split into two, creating the first twin guardian.
The spouses knew what type of guardian they were and they put the twin guardian in a sealed realm away from everyone's eyes.
The throne which was created also separated into two and the guardian of truth came to a wild conclusion.
He said, "They were never meant to be twin brothers. They are one but separated into two different people for some reason."
The guardian of the book said, "If that's the truth, I am afraid those two will end up having a civil war and try to devour each other to turn into one person and take control over the consciousness."
On the other hand, Elesis who was the guardian of Knowledge only had access to objective knowledge. But Elerous, who could read everyone's record, made a plan and gave part of his fragment to his twin brother right before he died. But Elesis was also a God candidate. So he took his fragment and instead of keeping it, he devoured it. But he couldn't devour his main fragment so he had to throw it away.
Who knew Elerous would find it as a book in the sea? It's not like they wanted to kill each other, so they had to take care of each other anyways to nourish 'food' for becoming one.
They were taking care of each other because they were insurance in each other's eyes. They were never friends or brothers. They were just two separated people of one soul.
And if the two of them combined into one, a new god will be born.
'Hah... I am really crazy. Becoming a god? Just what were you thinking, Elerous? I'm already a demigod. Tsk... but I can't die. I need to keep fighting so I can stay alive. Or else, my other part will devour me and mess up my lazy life.
