Chapter 188
Brix’s hands danced with earth as he manipulated and shaped the rocks, coaxing them into graceful curves and sweeping arches. With each manipulation, the fissure transformed; the jagged edges softened into smooth outlines that blended seamlessly with the landscape.
It took them the rest of the day to finish everything, and their work had led them to the base of the broken mountain. Brix and Aqua wore smiles as they admired their work. Aqua looked at Ikem and said, "Your idea has helped us more than you can imagine."
That got Ikem’s attention as he focused on their presence. It was subtle, but they both emanated the same feeling as Wardenwild before he disappeared. Thinking back on the sight he saw when Wardenwild opened up his portal, Ikem asked, "How does Wardenwild know of father’s home?"
The question caught both Aqua and Brix off guard as they looked at Ikem. Brix wore a thoughtful expression before responding, "We apologize for not informing you, as it slipped our minds that the place also belongs to you. But I can assure you that your father is aware of everything, and it was done with his permission."
Ikem wore a look of confusion on his face as he didn’t fully comprehend what Brix was saying. "What does this have to do with the former demon knowing of father’s place of dwelling?"
Aqua and Brix shared a glance before Brix spoke up, "Our appearance with Wardenwild on this battlefield was not a coincidence. We were already informed of his goal to ascend into a spirit-like entity. Us following behind was also to confirm a few speculations of our own."
Just as Brix and Aqua were sharing the knowledge with Ikem, back in Ikenga’s realm a few hours earlier when Wardenwild became a spirit, information was shared from Nana to all her children, informing them of the lifeform that Wardenwild had become and his significance to their world.
The information entailed that Wardenwild became something of a spirit, or an extension of Nana herself, where now he has the power and duty to ensure the state of the world is pristine. This all pointed back to when they awakened and their world was almost torn apart, but because of Nana’s usage of her power, things returned to normal as if it never happened.
The information shared by Nana was that under normal conditions, her actions weren’t allowed, but because it was done unconsciously by the origin gods during their first deep sleep, she was allowed to perform damage control.
