Guardian Of The End

Sancus's eyes widened when he heard Jason's words. The god found it hard to believe that such an ability was transferred with his special divinity.

"Your luck is quite high." Sancus sighed. "That divinity officially allows you to break others from all types of contracts, be it good or bad ones. But remember, breaking contracts will always carry some kind of drawback.

Not to mention that you will have to suffer the wrath of those who you broke the contract of."

Jason nodded in acknowledgment. This was something he had thought of long ago and didn't really mind. Everything came at a price.

"So I guess thats all about the divinity." Jason said.

"Unless any other abnormality pops up, that's about it. Want me to send you back?"

"Sure, there are many things that I will have to do in the next following days."

Sancus nodded and simply snapped his fingers. Jason's body disintegrated on the spot and vanished.

Sancus stared at that spot for a few seconds before closing his eyes.

'Things are going to be troublesome for him in the future. I wonder what the jade emperor will think about him once he learns about the true nature of the three divinities Jason has.'

Sancus had already seen the presence of the third divinity inside Jason's body. Even though he wasn't hundred percent sure about its owner, he had a good guess as to who it was.

'She is going to be quite clingy once the divinity activates…'

"I guess I wake up normally now." Jason mumbled as his eyes opened up.

He slowly rubbed them and sat up. After summoning some food out of thin air and eating up, Jason stood up and got his daily things done.

'Any idea how I am supposed to call for them?'

[ Nope. They will either show up themselves or you are going to be prisoner here. ]

'So those are the best- and worst-case scenarios huh.'

Jason wouldn't be surprised if someone left him trapped inside the room. Such things were quite normal for him.

'Might as well go out and see what is happening.'

Jason opened the door and stepped out of the room, changing the worst-case scenario of being locked inside the room.

But no sooner had he walked a few steps that Wade appeared in front of him.

"Morning."

"Good morning."

Once they had greeted each other, the two of them stood there silently. Neither side knew what to say, especially since they were talking like this after a long time.

"So, uh, what were you doing for the past few years?" Jason asked.

"Nothing much. I was staying with my guardians and training with them. The king did approach me and was about to force me to join his side. My guardians took me away and I was saved." Wade shrugged.

​ "I guess he really is desperate to get power on his side," Jason muttered. "I won't be surprised if he targeted Zeke as well."

"I don't know what happened with him. I guess you can go and see what is happening there once we return back."

"Yeah…"

Once again, an uneasy silence settled between the two of them. Fortunately, Amber stepped out of the room and broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Was it just me who encountered mosquitoes?" Amber questioned.

"I did as well," Wade replied.

"I was in deep sleep, so I don't know." Jason shrugged as he checked for mosquito bites over his body.

"There were so many of them in my room. But it was fun to find them and burn them." Amber replied with gleaming eyes.

"Isn't it too early to be feeling that murderous?" Diana suddenly questioned. "But then, mosquitoes deserve such treatment, especially if they are the variety which sucks mana."

"I know right? They are soooo annoying." Koro complained.

'These guys are like mosquitoes as well. They pop up when you don't expect them to appear.' Jason observed.

Currently, only Diana, Koro and Amon were present with the trio. The rest of the sins were nowhere to be seen.

"Since we will only be going to my house, the others won't be showing up. Are you three ready to go with us?" Koro asked.

The trio nodded together, allowing Diana to use teleportation magic to teleport all of them to the house of greed.

"My place is a bit more colorful as compared to Manny's house so keep that in mind." Koro added as an afterthought.

The six of them appeared in another hall, one completely opposite of the one that they had just left.

The entire hall was kept clean and shiny, and the chandelier seemed to be glowing as well. A bald butler dressed in a complete black outfit greeted them.

"Welcome back, Master Koro. Nice to see you, lady Diana. It's a pleasure to meet you after so many years, Lord Amon." The butler greeted. "Nice to meet you all as well."

"You are still the same, K." Amon chuckled.

"It is what it is, lord." K smiled.

Jason and the other two stood quietly and listened to the three sins casually talk with K. It took a few minutes before Koro turned towards him with a serious expression.

"Jason, get ready, I will be summoning my ring. The moment it appears in this room, it will shoot towards you and test you. Be prepared for that." Koro warned.

Jason nodded and relaxed his body. He shared a nod with Amber before stepping forward.

Koro snapped his fingers and released a small portion of his mana. The atmosphere inside the hall immediately turned a bit dark as a silver ring appeared in front of Koro.

As expected, the ring immediately shot towards Jason who welcomed it with a relaxed body.

The ring made contact with his forehead and slowly made him lose consciousness. But this time, Jason was able to hear and read the message sent by the system clearly.
