My Soul card is a Reaper - Chapter 585: The founder’s living daughter (part-2)

Azzy knew that there is friction between Angels and Elves due to the fact that the former took over the latter’s land, which is known as the kingdom of Triastal.

But, he didn’t know that his founder’s first wife is the one that killed Leah’s ancestor.

In an instant, everything suddenly became clear to him. Why this Celeste’s name never recorded in the historical records or their clan records; why the existence of Angels became a myth itself; but, what he didn’t understand is how Celeste managed to kill a person like Arthur Pendragon, who is not only a demigod but also has a celestial grade Arcana like the Excalibur.

He asked for more details, but it appeared even Devorah was clueless about it. She only said that her mother who was supposed to be in a 7-star-realm suddenly became a supreme being, strong enough to deal a blow to Emperor Arthur.

Azzy was more intrigued by the story. He continued, “So, what happened after that? Did your father forgive her or did he expel her? Don’t tell me she was executed?” Several options popped up in his head.

Devorah shook her head while letting out a deep sigh, “She then proceeded toward the enemy camp. She sacrificed her life by taking down two Demon Generals with her and heavily injured the Demon Emperor. Her actions almost ended the war, but her existence itself disappeared.”

“Wait a second.” Azzy felt strange about this explanation. “Didn’t Emperor Arthur end the Demon Emperor and the war with demons by himself? He was killed before the event?” It was what was recorded in every history book. Hence, the confusion.

Devorah meaningfully smiled as she replied, “The ones who wrote those historical records are the hidden clans and the Pendragon family. Obviously, they changed to suit their needs and also to make sure the Empire of Arcana remain stable. A clone was established in place of Emperor Arthur and the fake king ruled for the next thousand years before passing the throne to the real heir. It was necessary for the society to not fall into chaos.”

“The concept of Greater Good, eh?” Azzy’s expression darkened. He hates this concept the most. He was okay with slight manipulation, which he was doing now, but without compensating the victim, if the victors just enjoyed the fruits of their manipulation, they were as good as sinners in his eyes.

Devorah probably sensed Azzy’s thoughts too. She continued, “It’s a given that you would become the monarch of our clan, one day. Then, you will be tasked with killing thousands or even millions of innocents to balance life on our planet. Too many people will lead to the rapid decline of natural resources, quality of life force, and even one’s own potential. I believe you could already see that in your time how it became so hard for elites like Arcana masters to make a living.”

“I can understand that, but it’s no longer the age of Arcana.” Azzy didn’t agree with her. He further said, “We have already entered the age of science and technology. I believe by now, the scientific achievements of you people should have let humans populate our moon and other habitable planets in the galaxy,”

Devorah smiled in amusement, “If everything would go as one planned, son, we would have become gods.”

“What do you mean?” Azzy furrowed his brows, wondering whether a cataclysm occurred. After all, if they can build technology that can track time travel, they could build spaceships too. As for locating the habitable planets, Azzy was confident that Dr. Mac already

However, before Devorah opened her mouth, something clicked inside his head and he quickly raised his hand, “No, don’t say it. I don’t wish to know about the future. Just the things of the past are more than enough.”

“Relax, son. I’m not a fool to tell you the things that can impact the timeline.” Devorah once again reminded him of her identity.

Azzy nodded and stayed silent for a while, wondering how he should gradually bring up the real matter. However, Devorah wasn’t done yet. She proceeded to tell her own story like how she was brought up by surviving angels on the planet, how she met a prince of Llyne’s kingdom and became the ancestor to the royal family of Llyne, how she and her descendants were hunted by the other hidden clans after the death of her father and ascendance of fellow demigods, how she took her revenge, how she completely disappeared for a whole century from the eyes of public, and finally, how she emerged as a demigod.

Azzy patiently listened to her story for the next half an hour and Devorah rewarded his patience with the secrets of reaching the demigod realm.

There are three ways to reach the demigod realm.

The first way is the traditional way. Get one’s soul power to 9.9 billion and venture into the wild zone. Kill a demigod realm beast and absorb its core. It will either make one lose the mind and become a beast or emerge as a demigod.

The second way is to create a clone of oneself by splitting the soul into two. After that, both of them cultivate to peak-rank-9 and merge back to become a demigod. This method can be done with two different souls too, but that will only make them a pseudo-demigod without any future potential.

The last method is to absorb cosmic energy like the dark matter or natural energy of the stars or divine essence directly from the True Gods (advanced/peak-rank-11) in heavy amounts to forcefully make the breakthrough. .

Upon listening to Devroah’s words, Azzy couldn’t help but remember his first meeting with his future self. From the conversation between him and the Reaper, sometime in the future, he would absorb the powers of the Reaper and make Protos energy his own, making the breakthrough. It is more or less the third method.

The Reaper stayed silent and didn’t offer any kind of opinion from his side. He continued to stay as a silent spectator.

Meanwhile, Devorah continued to explain more secrets, this time about the level-5 regions and the monsters that are living there. Monsters don’t just mean beasts. It included humans that failed to make a breakthrough and were trapped there by the guardian of the region as they lost their minds.

Azzy recently ventured into a level-5 region when he was in an 8-star realm but didn’t go into a deeper region as he knew that he was not a match for a demigod realm. Now that he has Hydra on his side, Azzy no longer feared the place. He planned to go there once again and amass a huge army of rank-9 beasts and rank-10 beasts, but after hearing out Devorah, he postponed those plans.

Once this topic was also done, she then asked him whether he has any questions to ask her, especially about the knowledge of runes and other things. She urged him to not hesitate.

But, to her surprise, Azzy simply responded by stating his original intentions of visiting this timeline.

Devorah didn’t feel offended or even surprised about it. She casually took out a 10-star card from her storage card and tossed it to him. “Use it and you will get to the destination you wanted.”

As soon as Azzy caught the card, he felt the weight of it. It was atleast around 10-20 kg of weight. He observed the card made of adamantium.

On the backside, the stars were gold in color, meaning it was of high grade. And on the front, there is a live image of a pocket watch. It reminded him of that tempus thing he got from his future self and later used to ask for a favor.

“So, this will get me access to all the destroyed timelines?” asked Azzy while observing the card.

Devorah shook her head, “Not exactly. This will just get you to the specific time period of a specific destroyed timeline that is recorded in the card.”

“I see…” Azzy nodded in understanding with a slight bit of disappointment. But then again, since he just got it for free, he felt like he should be satisfied with the item and forcefully smiled as he thanked her.

It was then Devorah went into a bit of a trance and silently stared at him for a few seconds as if she was thinking of something. Azzy found her behavior slightly strange but he threw the thoughts at the back of his head and rose to his feet. “Saint Garcia, I think I need to leave now.”

Devorah wanted to say something but she swallowed down the words in the end and just smiled, “Okay.”
