Chapter 280: Tempered Fate
Ben shook his head, " We’ll leave king of the wolves but make no mistake, the Organisation is not done with you."
" Is that so?" Adrian asked, the wheel glowed with blinding silver light, it started spinning even faster.
Seeing this, Ben grabbed Render and flew off like a bolt of lightning and appeared next to Siri in a blink of an eye.
Siri grabbed both of them and activated an artefact then they all disappeared. Adrian sighed with relief and flew to the castle.
" Are you alright?" Annie asked as soon as Adrian got in. His face was deadly pale, he stumbled forward and almost fell.
His weapons were sent back to the wheel and he had returned to his human form. Sam grabbed him before he fell.
" You’re looking rough dude." Adrian didn’t have the energy to answer and slowly closed his eyes.
" His body is mending itself and his esper veins are healing at a rapid pace but not as fast as his body.
He should wake up in a few days." Annie told the others, they were in Adrian’s room surrounding his bed.
" He really put himself under too much strain this time." They all nodded, they watched his fight and he was glorious.
Holding his own against three level 8 Espara and almost killing one of them was an impressive feat.
Not to mention he did all of that with unstable esper and damaged esper veins, it was natural for his body to be a wreck.
Annie understood it was because of the wheel, Adrian was basically bluffing by the end.
He couldn’t summon any more weapons or power from the wheel but had he shown weakness, they never would’ve retreated.
-------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in the continent of humans sat a small island no more than 150 kilometres across.
This small island was actually the home ground of one of the strongest factions in the entire world.
It was the home of the Voidlink clan, there was a city sitting at the centre of the island, the city had a modern feeling to it.
Cars, trains and skyscrapers were everywhere, it looked completely different from cities on the other continents.
At the centre of this city stood a tower about 500 metres in height, the tower was made of a purple black stone.
At the highest floor of this tower existed a world vaster than the island itself, it looked like a world on its own.
The entire tower was made of a space stone mined from asteroids and it was larger inside than it was outside.
Only the Voidlink clan had the power to create separate dimensions before becoming demigods.
And their Demigods can create complete worlds given enough material and each floor on this tower was its own dimension.
As for the highest floor, it was a complete world more than 12 000 kilometres in diameter.
In this space sat a mountain so tall its peak was hidden beyond the clouds and on its peak was a small hut.
Inside this hut, two people were sitting together, one looked older about 40 years old.
And the other was a woman who looked like she was in her 20’s. " Grandfather, can the venom be cured?"
The woman asked with an anxious voice. The older man smiled at her, " You were quite lucky.
This venom is definitely much weaker than the original venom, otherwise not even I would be able to help you."
The man sounded relieved as well, " By yourself you’d probably need a few hundred years to completely remove it.
During that time, you wouldn’t even be able to use most of your strength but with my help.
It should be out of your system in about 3 to 4 years, I’ll ask older brother and sister for help, we should be done in a few months."
The Voidlink clan had three Demigods, he was the youngest of them and also the clan leader.
His older brother and sister were tens of thousands of years older, they were not biological siblings.
In fact they were from the old era generation but they insisted he called them brother and sister after becoming a demigod himself.
" Come." Before Siri could say anything she found herself standing somewhere else,it was a modest house.
Resembling two storey houses from the human world. A woman came out from the kitchen to meet them.
" Ah little brother, you came to see your older sister and is this little Siri, she’s grown so much in a blink of an eye, how time flies."
Siri blushed, " It’s been 300 years since we last met grandmother." She whispered, time seemed to flow for differently for demigods.
A hundred years could pass while they were taking a nap. " Is that so? And you’ve already reached leven 8? You’re quite talented."
She blushed from the compliment, her grandfather grinned with pride. The demigod woman approached Siri.
" My my, that’s a nasty thing you have, it’s weaker but this is certainly chaos, this thing hasn’t been seen in the world since the old era when those monsters came from...
Anyways, where did you get such a nasty thing child?" She didn’t know much about the outside world.
She’s been in this dimension for the past 12 thousand years, the last time she came out was the Morgana broke the seals.
At that time, every demigod needed to take action before the final seal breaks lose or even tragedy of the old era would repeat itself.
" Well..." Siri’s grandfather explained the entire situation and when he was done, the room has gotten colder.
" Werewolves you say, that sounds familiar but I just can’t remember...I need to talk to our brother."
A second later, the third demigod of their clan appeared, like the woman he looked young.
They looked to be around their late 20’s to early 40’s, they explained the situation to him.
" Strange, the werewolf sounds familiar but I can’t remember anything about it, still you said it uses chaos as its venom?"
They nodded, " If so then it must be related to that...this thing cannot be allowed to live...wait I remember now.
Wasn’t Morgana pregnant when she sought to destroy the world, wasn’t it because of a prophecy that her child was the Heart Of Destruction?"
The other two looked at each other, they were present back then but strangely, the memories were not very clear.
They remembered what Morgana had done and her motivation for it but something was missing in their memories.
" Somebody tempered with fate." The elder brother’s comment made Siri’s grandfather and his older sister frown.
" Sister, perhaps it’s time we go out again, the world is changing too fast while we’re cooped up here."
