Chapter 135: The Search for Master
Till this day, she sought her master—especially after the prophecy emerged, which made it devastatingly clear that her master... her beloved master... would be the end of them all if he wasn’t stopped. But what made her truly desperate was knowing he would reincarnate. She needed to know the truth: was it all just an elaborate plan from the very beginning, or had that emotion she felt from him that day—when he gently patted her head before he vanished—been real?
"Sighs... Elena... You have always caused the gods untold suffering since the first cataclysm by protecting him. I advise you to stop this obsession with master. You already know what kind of monster he—"
"Morael..." Just his name, spoken like a death sentence, and he froze in pure terror as he felt the divine energy escaping her control. It seemed this version of herself possessed her full power, unlike the weakened form from that erased future—the one who had reincarnated in her desperate quest to find her master, ending up diminished and frail. As if that hadn’t been punishment enough, she had sacrificed half her divinity to transform a mere human into a demigod. Yes, she had been extremely weak then, but even in that reduced state, she remained a problem for most gods. And there was still the gift from her master—that precious token he had bestowed upon her the day he took her in.
[A/N- To be clear, by erased future, they mean the timeline which was erased when Ryan went back in time, so that ’future’ no longer exists]
"Don’t call my master a monster," she said, her voice carrying the weight of cosmic authority. "I will only warn you once." Reality itself seemed to lose its grip, the very fabric of existence trembling at her barely contained rage.
Sweat trickled down Morael’s forehead as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Sighs... Elena... Fine. I will tell you what you wish to know."
Silence stretched between them, heavy with anticipation.
"You had given him something that drew the attention of all the gods—the relic that could make even a deity more powerful. They attacked in force. You were already weakened, but with that strange orb you always carried... you were able to fight back. But..." His voice faltered. "He was killed."
The entire realm began to tremble at her anguish.
