Chapter 209: Investigating the Anomaly II
’Honestly, left to , I’m not even concerned about this deity authority of a thing, having to act like a king wherever i go rather bothers . Left to
I want to
normal, left at my own pace and place. I might have been delusional to once think I could live life well in this new world. This was so sort of redemption for
but it was all wrapped in delusion. So at so point i had to start accepting the reality this world gave ....ah, what was that quote again Father would always say... what is worth doing at all should be done well like you were born for it. All my journey till now I have t people, I have t friends. Friends changed ... but every ti its not always enough. Does accepting this reality an accepting this...’ Rein thought to himself as he opened his eyes to a white surface dinsion.
Another being appeared in front of him.
’Huh, he looks just like ...’
"I am you" the second Rein smiled. "I am that dude that ca ouit and took care of all the demons when you couldn’t do it. And I brought you here"
Rein looked around, "where is this place?" he asked.
"This is your dinsion, a place that you are supposed to rule over as a deity. But since you refuse , it is without shape. It’s just a void of nothingness. This is you."
"...peaceful" Reinard said.
"...peaceful?" the second Reinard was puzzled. "you think this is peaceful?! this is weak!! this is an insult, every single ti you bind
down, you won’t accept . You hang on to humanity too much, you won’t let go of what you don’t have!!!"
Reinard looked at the other him. "how did we get here again...?... oh the griffin king. But I don’t really mind him calling
human." Rein said.
"Look here, right now because you won’t accept , it’s like two selves are living in one body, you are full of irregularities. So much power but no order, no guts, you are like a wild lion that think its a dog, it’s instinct wouldn’t let it be and it’s personality wouldn’t yield. Right now you are an epito of confusion." At this point the he began to get really angry. "Because of you-u a fucking lion bird is looking down on . And I can’t even do anything about it!!"
Rein looked down and smiled a little, "You are right. I’m confused." he looks up back at his other him which was his authority, his deiti-self. "But I have accepted you, what more do you want
to do?"
"aargh! Damn! this is difficult. Look here boy, let
ask you a question. Why do you think you have not activated a domain even though you are now a greater deity? Why do you think the abyss were curious about you? Why do you think all the seemingly good things happen to you when you don’t think you deserve them? Why do you think you are very scared of accepting ?"
"I’m not scared of accepting you... and I have not completed by class quest that is why I have not activated domain. Good things happen to
because I am being offered a second chance... I don’t know why you are asking
these questions. I have accepted you, I am pretty sure about that."
hahahahahahaha- he laughed, " seriously? a second chance? by whom? the sa gods who toyed with your life and tried to get rid of you the mont you decided to beco independent?" he moves closer to Rein by just floating, "wake up self, wake up, everyone in this world is your enemy because you are an existence that should not exist. You are a phenona that defies logic. You were born of from the collusion of love and hatred, good and bad, every thing that must be and every thing that must not be, life and nothingness. You are sothing even the universe cannot comprehend."
"...hmm, since you are a part of
regardless, then I guess you must have inherited it too..."
"huh? Inherited what?"
"You know when I was a kid I had this superiority complex, ah now that I rember it did cause alot of trouble for my parent, I used to beat kids up, thinking I am above everyone and I even used to address my parents with their na."
"So what has that got to do with this?"
Rein smiled, "I think you are an authority with superiority complex, the deiti-self of
which is a manifestation of my past."
"What?" he went silent for a mont, ’why is his logic making so much sense, this arrogant fellow, he doesn’t know what I know...’, he then replied Rein, "If you accept , things will get better."
Rein’s expression relaxed and beca scared, "I’m scared...." his eyes beca teary. "I’m scared I’m enjoying this too much. It looks like I would lose myself soon just like I almost did when I first beca a deity...it was a weird and familiar feeling, but it scared "
’Attachnts?... that’s the issue this ti around. You have grown too attached to the people in this life that you have subconsciously let go of every other ones you have had in the forr life, is it his mother, father, friends... now that I think about it, he used to be lonely... why was this ti different...’ he sighed and smiled, "So I’m not going to be accepted anyti soon. it’s okay, but let
give you a piece of advice a soone who has been with you longer than you can imagine... do not lie to yourself and no matter how much you run from it, you cannot outrun your reality." he slowly disappears.
’huh, longer with ?... I thought he was born when I beca a deity’
Rein’s eyes awakened back to reality as his deiti-self disappeared. Likewise the heavy atmosphere suddenly vanished.
’I’m sure about it, even if it was for a short while the presence he emitted ... I have felt it before... it’s close to the kind of presence Levon emits’ the griffin king exclaid in his expression.
Azes was a little bit disappointed that Reinard didn’t get in action. "hmph, you should be very glad Father decided top show rcy"
’and this one is just being... a kid dragon’ The griffon king bowed his head, "I’m apologize for my rudeness, a dragon will always be a dragon no matter its size." he faced Reinard and lowered himself, "though, I still have mixed feelings but nevertheless it seems I have underestimated you. Forgive "
"Its okay..." Rein replied humbly.
The griffin king spread its wing on the floor, "get on"
Azes interrupted, "what do you an get on... I can fly too rember" he glared at the griffon king.
"aren’t you here because sothing weird is happening between the monsters and us" the griffin king asked Rein.
"Yes you are right" Rein replied.
"I am also here for that reason. Do
a good as the king of griffins and accept my offer. I have sowhere to take you to"
Rein looked Azes and smiled, "we can ride together on our way back."
Azes imdiately transford into a cat and dropped himself on Reinard’s arms.
"then I will go like this"
Reinard smiled and climbed the griffon.
’but father?’ Azes called out to Reinard in his mind. ’are you okay? You look worried’
’I’m fine Azes’
The griffin king flew off, heavily shaking the long bamboo trees.
After a long flight into the sky, they arrived on a floating island.
Rein’s eyes widened, "beautiful..." he said.
"That is Alkrainia, ho to all griffin kind"
"Do all beast have kings and hos like you?"
"Yes, but not all beast decide to stay at ho like we griffins, I also think you have seen so of our kinds around here and there. Mythical beast are divine existence, order is important for us" the griffin king landed. Imdiately Rein ca down, he transford into a tall man with long white hair and a golden forehead helt, he wore a white robe on his lower body but his higher body was naked, his wings was like cape and they were long and was dragged as the griffin king moved, the others were like him too only that their were wings was not so long, and so had black hair.
Reinard was marveled, "you can turn into human?"
"No. This is not human, this is a more comfortable form, every beast can do this once they enter the highest echelon"
Rein was suddenly reminded of Jihi, "...so that was the case"
"..." the griffin king looked at Rein and continued talking as they began to walk into the forest. "Sothing happened, sothing that caused both the monster’s and we beast to have a common sense of agreent..."
"Which was?" Rein asked.
The griffin king approached a large castle built with green woods he stretched forth his hand to Rein whom accepted it. His wings rose up and he flew high into the castle, Azes followed on his own. As they entered the castle Azes expression changed, "...what is this?"
"As expected of a dragon, sharp" the griffin king opened the door in front of them, it was then Rein could feel the outrageous and unsettled aura surrounding the egg that seated on a long seat that seems to be the griffin king’s.
{Unreasonable aura detected}
’You call it unreasonable but why does it seem familiar’ Rein walked towards it and continued to examine the white egg, then he asked, "what is this egg?"
"A product of a monster and a beast" Azes answered, "which should never should have happened" he added.
"Whatever this egg is, it has been around for ages, we just happened to find it alongside the harpies" the griffin king said.
The door opens and the harpy queen walked inside, her arms were wings but feathers of different colors covered all her body and her face was beautiful. "What are you doing Hysiris?"
"What I should be doing"
"I am not going to let you kill that thing"
"I won’t...in fact I can’t which is why I brought brought outsider"
"What do you an? What’s going on?" Reinard asked.
"Because of its nature, we cannot defile our instincts to protect it, as a a King I can control my instincts enough to beg you to help but get rid of this thing before it cos to life"
The harpy queen dashed at them but before she could reach them the griffin king t her halfway, grabbed her hand and threw her back.
’Fast...’ Reinard exclaid, ’I think he’s faster than I am’
The griffin king shouted back at Reinard, "Human! Do it now, destroy the egg!!"
