Chapter 460: One question
The divine realm, the realm of the gods. Abrielle was stunned. She always thought the gods were myths, but it didn’t seem that way.
"Maximus is the god of strength," she mentioned. Cassius nodded. "Some call him the god of war, but someone already has that title. He is the reason for Draconia’s battle prowess—and also why they are so brutal," Cassius explained.
Abrielle’s eyes dulled, understanding what Cassius meant. Maximus was the ancestor of the Von Drakkar family. "I thought Maximus was the younger god," she recalled from what the scholar mentioned.
"I don’t know why people think I’m older than Maximus. Maybe it’s due to his personality," Cassius replied, knowing how unpredictable the god of strength was.
Maximus had disappeared from Elaris without a word, and that had been causing some issues here. He heard Nyxoria was searching for him because his duties were forced on her.
Unlike the Caephyr and Nightshade families, the Von Drakkar family didn’t have a bloodline test because Maximus was never interested in meeting his descendants. After his human lover died centuries ago, a part of Maximus died, and he became a shadow of himself.
"Since you successfully made it here, I am obligated to answer one question. Any question you wish—but know I am not omniscient. Even the gods are blind," he explained. Her gaze flickered.
She was free to ask any question, but just one. That was a hard choice. "Take your time. Once that candle burns out, you must have your question ready." He clicked his fingers, and a candle appeared next to Abrielle on a rock, burning slowly.
She stared at the candle. Just one question. She could ask why she came to this world, but Cassius might not know. He was the god of wisdom, so he was meant to have immense wisdom.
She clenched her fists, then glanced back at him. "I guess you have your question ready," he said.
