Chapter 143: Promise
There could only be one conclusion to that question: every single major god. The major gods had to be watching. After all, some of the major gods, like Athena and Hephaestus, were literally working at the White Abyss.
’But I don’t think the gods working at the White Abyss are actively watching. Azrael mentioned that nearly all heavens exist: Valhalla, the Field of Reeds. If that’s the case, then there must be a realm for all these heavens to exist. That has to be where they are watching. There’s no other possibility.’
Could it be possible that the humans in those heavens were watching too...?
’Maybe, maybe not. Their presence wouldn’t change anything. They’re no Zeus or Odin.’
More relevantly, who was Jack? Who was this man capable of causing the gods to help an outsider like him? Kazi was at the end of the day a Muslim. Analyze every religious scripture and every mythology and there was a strict pattern of bias from the gods. They were human in that regard. They blessed those that were faithful to them and disregarded those that were not. So why gift an item to someone of an entirely different religion?
’It’s likely Jack’s terror is known to the gods watching us from above. He is a Ripper-like figure, an individual of great power and terror. It’s now even likelier that he was part of a previous Heavenly Game.’
Indeed, it was no coincidence that Kukulcán gifted him a belt that would specifically help him against Jack. Rumours were spreading that the sponsored gods of Gate 7 had pulled out and that Chichen Itza was devoid of objectives.
’I know his current identity. I know who he is and yet...I can’t speak his name. I can’t write it either. Don’t tell me the gods are unsettled by Jack because...’
If that was the case, then Jack was more dangerous than he thought.
He thought about his odds against Jack. The tendrils of darkness which facilitated his long-range kit and his knife that was capable of overpowering Sun-young’s Majin-ken.
The attack stat was judged by the class equipped. With the Swordsman Class, it was strength plus the sword equipped. With the Mage Class, then magical might plus the magical might of the weapon equipped. Passive skills and mana amplification were not included in the calculation.
