Chapter 139: Clarification
...
It was a while later that the Tree Deity finally went to narrate what happened in the realm of the Anito of the Blood. Fernando listened attentively as this was what he had actually come here for.
"I attended the gathering even though I don’t know what’s store there for me and I’m sure you know that it was because if I didn't, something bad would happen to me. I have talked with some other participants there and learned that every century, the Anito of

...“If we were to think of a more ample description, they are like mercenaries. Or strays,” said Baram. The description was for the Gift Hunters that menaced other deities for their pool of divine energy and their very own gift, clarifying what connection they had with the Anito of the Blood. ‘Strays, like cats or dogs that belonged nowhere, not in the human society as pets, or the wild.’
The Ascension Chapter 141: The Tail
When Fernando said that, a gust of wind blew, creating a whoosh sound that did little to calm his racing heart and mind. There was indeed somebody behind him just a dozen meters away, an unwelcomed instance of a guess turning out correct.It was a heavily bearded man, with long hair and bulky body, almost resembling a viking in legends, except the 'viking' was wearing a slightly modern set of clothing instead of exotic-looking clothes. Well, actually, he was not sure what a Viking really looked like and he was merely referencing the ones he saw on Ley's screen. Upon seeing the unwanted tail, Fernando's face remained neutral, as if he cared or expected just as much, which was a fact, but of course, what he felt deep inside was a different matter altogether.There was no way Fernando would feel good upon confirming that he was being followed, or rather, targeted.'A Gift Hunter, I supposed?' The term Baram used to refer to those who go after their own
The Ascension Chapter 142: Vague Gains
Time passed and Ley who was having a conversation, or rather, observing a conversation between two higher-tiered deities finally managed to leave the domains of the forest fairies. Of course, before he did so, he thickened his face and confirmed from the Chief the intention of the forest fairy race. Thankfully, the other entertained his questioned, largely thanks to the presence of the angel.Finally, he had verified that Kulas, the old forest fairy, had no malicious intention towards him. The other even looked at him with puzzlement as if he didn't understand how going after a weak anito would be beneficial to him. The entire race as well, while famed for having overboard and proud personalities, were not naïve enough to get pulled into a stupid scheme by the Anito of the Blood.'So everything was just a personal move by the princess?' Ley was baffled.'What for then?'Because the woman was the second in command of the race, Kulas
The Ascension Chapter 143: More Pressing Matters
For Ley, there was nothing more frustrating than knowing he had been used and purposely kept in her turf, yet still had no choice but to be stuck in a dilemma called 'owing a favor'. He had just really been saved so many times by the Goddess. The power of debt was truly insane. And to be fair, he was not one without a conscience since towards people he owed something. Towards the Goddess of the Sun and the witch Dehlia, he was one to never forget that he should offer something in return to reciprocate their good will.One had to show gratitude for the help that they received, especially if this concerned survivability. This, he always knew and thus, he planned to return the favor in the near future and remember it for life.Still, that was that. For him, there was another problem. And that was how the situation conflicted with his personality.Ley had always been quite the skeptical person. If the other party was somebody he did not fully know or trust, it
The Ascension Chapter 144: Mute
"Since this helper can cancel your divination, he should be on par or stronger on you, no? Have you reported this to the Court?"A shake of the head came from the Goddess of Stars. "Precisely because of that, I refrained from speaking this information to anybody else."The Goddess of the Moon sported out an annoyed expression before she stood up and began to walk towards the other side of her palace. Tala knew the place like the back of her hand and thus she was aware that was where Mayari stationed her army.Enough had been said between them. With just a few lines exchanged, both of them knew that the enemy was strong, at least, influential enough to rally a powerful seer deity to his side. However, the actually concerning matter was entirely something else.Tala, underneath her white veil, pursed her lips and looked up at the only star that could be glimpsed at from her location.In the Skyworld, time flowed differen

As a butler, Sam' service to House Hevel was extremely short and not worthy of a mention. Not even a year. However, since birth, he had been an extremely devout of the Three Goddesses, patrons of Island Ophir. Born to a fairly big clan in the village, one that had a history of producing elders and chiefs, he was one of the lucky ones given the qualifications to enter the palace at the summit of the mountain. But it took him several years to be promoted from a mere servant boy to an actual authority amongst servants, which he did through wits and perseverance, and he was very proud of what he had achieved.His clan's rule, or more like, motto was this, 'Always, for the Three Celestial Goddesses'.No matter how empty and cheerless the palace was, it would always be his joy to tend to it as a form of obeisance to the beloved Goddesses.What were his thoughts when he was suddenly assigned to serve three Anitos that had seemingly popped out of nowhere?W

What was Sam looking for? Why was he sporting such a stressed expression?Ley stood a few meters behind Sam and noticed that the person's mouth was moving, yet no sound was reverberating in the place.Tilting his head sideward, Ley finally called him out, "Sam?"The butler was visibly startled, which showed on his face when he turned around and met Ley's gaze. "Young Master!" He shouted.However, no sound reached Ley's ears.It turned out that while Sam could hear Ley's footsteps and voice, the latter could not. Confusion flickered in Ley's eyes. This was a fact he realized after watching the movements of the butler's lips, which obviously mouthed his usual honorifics of him.Then when Sam dashed towards him, that was when he noticed that there was something different with the place around the butler. The butler managed to pass through him. Also, although subtle and almost unnoticeable, the area looked like a di
The Ascension Chapter 147: The Desire For Freedom
No fight actually took place. That was what Ley had heard from the Tree Deity. However, it was already said earlier. The person could forcefully teleport somebody over to another dimension or realm without leaving a trace that even he, Ley, the Road Deity, could peer into. This revealed that the abductor was of higher power level than him. Baram too said that he did not really dare to get close to the place as the man's aura was simply really intimidating. Oh, not really intimidating. But aloof, yet majestic. It reminded him of the lions that sometimes crossed his territory. The loftiness that was exuded by the man was intense, it could make others subconsciously bow to him.'What kind of being is that?'Ley could not help but wonder this after hearing all the flashy descriptions.His thoughts, that time, were very obvious.But to be fair, Baram himself could not believe that he felt like that towards a fellow Anito.After t
