Nyissa confird as she said, "That's true. Champions are people who won this tournant at least once, and so the Guardian Gods felt that it would be a waste to let even their powers disappear like that. So they created the Fallen Soul Crystals that would rge with only the ones it deed worthy or ones most compatible with wielding its power. Otherwise, those who force it would probably die."
"So the white soul crystal that Umi received was the Pure Soul Crystal? What about the Fallen one? How does it look?" Viktor rembered Umilia getting the white shining crystal and so couldn't help but wonder how the Fallen soul crystal would look like.
"It will be black and have cracks over it as if the crystal got fractured. It will only possess the powers? of the Fallen Champion and wouldn't contain any soul essence," Nyissa answered.
"So even ordinary humans have the capability to get chosen by these soul crystals?" Viktor eagerly asked since this was a question he had been keeping in his mind the mont Nyissa ntioned that these soul crystals can choose people.
Nyissa looked at Viktor with squinted eyes and said as if seeing through his thoughts, "I know what you are thinking. But it isn't that simple. These things co with heavy consequences. Getting chosen by any one of the soul crystals would an that you will automatically beco a participant in this tournant. And when your na cos up, you will have to fight to the death whether you like it or not."
She then asked in a skeptical tone, "But why do you seem very interested in all this? Don't tell you…"
"I want to join too. So how do I do it? Since I already have powers, I don't need any soul crystals," Viktor said with a shrug.
Nyissa's eyebrows raised as she ca up to him and held his hand, and shook her head, "No…you shouldn't join. If you do, then people might learn about your specialty, and other than that, you might beco a target to kill for countless powerful warriors or even champions out there. They wouldn't rest till they kill or make you submit to them."
"Look. Am I really the only one with the ability to not die? You once ntioned a being or a deity nad the Silver Night King, right? You said he was unkillable, and just now, Vanessa ntioned the being they worship also cannot die or sothing? Is that really true? Which deity do they worship?"
Nyissa's expression beca contemplative as she said, "I didn't know that the deity the Icemoon Kingdom worshipped was truly immortal as well if what she said was true. We don't have clear information on their history, especially considering the clan I am coming from. But the deity they worship is the Infernal Monarch. But even if he was truly immortal, these two deities are nowhere to be seen, and we don't even know if they are alive or dead. So there is no point in ntioning them. Besides, it is not like anybody would dare to go after them even if they were alive."
Viktor sighed and patted her hands as he said, "Nyissa, don't you think you are worrying too much about it? First of all, coming to the tournant, it would not be impossible for to win even if there are warriors more powerful than since death is the sureshot factor that decides the winner."
"No, you don't get it," Nyissa imdiately refuted as she continued, "Death is the absolute factor to decide the winner, and that I can admit, but it is not the only way one can win against the other. One of them can surrender, whether they are forced to or not. Or for people who are quite hard to kill like you, there are ways to make them lose, especially by destroying their soul or by manipulating it. Either way, it wouldn't end well if you et experts who have powerful soul abilities," Nyissa cautioned, though she was not sure if Viktor's soul could be destroyed.
Viktor still didn't bat an eye as he said, "Then I will just take my chances. Secondly, I have already co into the radar of many powerful and dangerous people out there. I just can't stay hidden forever, can I? I have to fill this emptiness in my soul…otherwise, I may not be able to stay sane forever. And maybe the sure-shot way of doing that is probably through this tournant."
"So your wish is to recover your mories?" Nyissa asked, knowing what he sought the most.
"That always has been and still is my wish…to find out who I truly am and why I lost my mories. I can't shake this feeling that my mories held all the answers that I wanted. But now I have people I love and want to make sure that they stay beside as long as possible, especially people like Taya who don't have powers like us," Viktor said, his tone a bit sorrowful.
"Then…you want to wish that they gain immortality or at least live long enough till you figure out sothing?"
Viktor nodded, "That is the plan. I don't know if those kinds of wishes would work or not. I know I can't wish anybody to gain immortality like mine, but as long as they can live longer, that is enough."
"You must really love Taya so much to go this far. I doubt anybody with your power and age would do the sa, especially when the other person is only just a human. They would rather fulfill their own wish rather than fulfill one for others," Nyissa said as she stared at Viktor with a glazed expression, feeling glad that her man was different, unlike n with imnse power who only cared about themselves.
"But if you just want to prolong Taya's life, then you don't have to go to such trouble. Instead, you can focus on your own wish while I can give you the solution to prolong Taya's life. I am already working on one with my grand-aunt since we both know that you want Taya to stay with you longer."
Viktor couldn't believe what he had just heard as he excitedly held Nyissa's arms as he asked, "You…You two can really co up with such a solution?"
Nyissa nodded with a dreamy smile as she said, "Usually, we can extend the lifespan by a certain amount for odic users only. But there have been instances in our history of ordinary people gaining more lifespan with our help. So we have been digging up the complete history of the witches and mages and using those references for our research which already looks promising. We didn't tell you to let it be a surprise for both you and Taya. But now that things ca to this, I just had to let you know about this so that you can regain your mories as well, which you wanted since the mont you woke up in this world."
Viktor couldn't help but feel as if this ti fate might not be cruel to him.
