《A king's reincarnation》Chapter 26: The Offer
Advertisement
I woke up from my sleep and found myself on a familiar place.
"Why am I here?" I looked around and saw the same islands and the same golden gate.
"Did they call me back here? Oh shit, did the seal placed on the quasil broke!?" I immediately checked my body, but fortunately, it's still there.
"Since I'm already here, I might as well go to Eden myself."
I walked towards the gate and it opened, the positions and distance of all the floating islands are still the same. With my strength I can just leap from island to island.
"Here we go..."
I started to sprint and leap from island to island, since I quickly remembered the way to the kingdom on my first visit, I was able to know which land leads to where.
And finally, after 3 minutes, I reached the gates of the huge wall around the entire kingdom. I thought that I would be intercepted by these winged knights in a white full plate, but that doesn't seem to be the case, because the moment I appeared before them, they opened the gates for me and one of them escorted me into Gabriel's room.
After I entered the room, I saw Gabriel gripping his hair while staring at a stack of papers. He looked like a person who didn't get any sleep for a whole week.
"What's the matter? what did you summon me for this time?" I asked him
"Oh, you're here already? take a seat"
After I took a seat, he casted a spell of some sorts and his appearance became normal, there were no traces of the haggard person from earlier.
"I have three things that I would like to discuss with you, 2 of them are favors while the other one is an offer."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Let's start with the offer... Lucas, would you like to become a god?"
"Don't need it, why would you make such an outrageous offer?"
"Actually, after you left, I looked into the records of the past. The reason why you have the capability to possess and use the Quasil is because... you are my older sister's successor."
"What?"
"I know it's hard to belie-"
"No, I think I believe you on this one."
"Eh? w-why?"
"Because I don't think there's another plausible explanation besides this. That's why let's just acquire additional details on a later date. Besides, I won't accept the offer, I'm a human from the beginning until the end."
"You have a point, but if you change your mind, feel free to talk to me about it."
"We will see. How about the other 2? what favors are they?"
"Ahhh yes, Once again I realized just how frightening you really are."
"What do you mean?"
Gabriel's face turned desolate and lethargic at this moment.
"Since yumi is working on something in greis, she's not present at the moment and I took over her work temporarily."
"And?"
"But you... how in the hell did you turn the active God of war into a shut-in!?"

"E-Eh!? w-what do you mean?"
"Ever since you left, Alvion started to shut himself in his room, he started going on about how a power like this existed without his knowledge, he also started saying that it is necessary for him to get stronger like this so that he won't lose if he fought you again, I understand that he wants to get stronger... But he should take responsibility for his own job! why the hell do I have to do everything for that oaf who is slowly turning into the God of NEETS!! just because I'm the God if wisdom, doesn't mean that I can do everything by myself! why do I have to fking train his soldiers for him!?"
Shittt, it looks like Gabriel is gonna go insane.
"I-I apologize for this, d-don't worry, I'll try to convince him to touch some grass."
"My thanks, please drag that idiot of his room, even if it meant shattering his home island."
"ha ha ha, I-I'll try it later then."
"Hmm hmm, good to hear that. Now then, as for the final subject. I'm sorry that I have to ask this of you when you planned to live a fulfilling life at Greis, but I think this is something only you can do."
"I don't really mind, if it's a request for you. But you owe me one, if I ever need your assistance, be sure to be there and do 1-no, make it 2 requests from me." I replied to him
"You really are something, to propose a deal that puts a God at a disadvantage... Then it's a deal."
"That's how I mostly do things, now then, what is this request of yours?"
"1 week from now, the nation of Lemua will perform a Hero summoning ritual. It is a ritual that summons a person or a group of people from your world into Greis in order to become a party of heroes whose aim is to destroy the demons' continent"
"Continent of Demios"
"Yes, if they're only summoning 1 to 6 people, then the Gods can just turn a blind eye to this. But this time, the number of people that will get summoned is around 42 people."
"Since God of creation-sama forbid the Gods from overly interfering with the matters concerning the citizens of Greis, we can't do much for them."
"Isn't it fine? if the goal is to save the world, then you can just let them do as they wish."
"If that really is the case then it's wonderful, but... It seems like the nation of Lemua is not just planning on using them as a party of justice, they're planning on using them in their wars with other nations. Imagine 42 people whose potential can bring them to the top of the human race massacring every people in the battlefield for the sake of a nation's selfish desires."
"So you're telling me to abduct these people from the hands of this Lemua and take them under my wing?"
"I'm not asking you to take them to Elune, you just need to make sure that they won't be used as illegal war soldiers."

"It seems a little bit troublesome but... I'll accept this."
"Then the discussions are done, oh wait, let me check something." said gabriel as he held out his palm in front of me. His hand glowed for a few seconds and disappeared shortly after.
"The seal that we placed on you is a little cracked, looks like completely sealing the quasil inside you really is impossible. Just make sure to hold it back a little when you destroy the Jahal nation."
"How did you-"
"My title as a Supreme God is not just for show you know?" Gabriel said to me with a smug look.
I walked to the door to get out but a certain picture caught my eye. What I saw is a familiar woman beside Gabriel.
"Who is that?" I asked him
"That? Oh, it's the older sister I mentioned to you last time. She's Anna, Goddess of the Apocalypse."
There's no doubt about it, that long pink hair, even though the style is slightly different, I'm 81% sure that they're the same person. I don't think this is a mere coincidence.
"What's wrong?"
"O-Oh, it's nothing. Let's go."
"Yeah, please drag that shut-in out of his room."
After passing through 6 floating islands, we finally reached a certain large island that has a normal looking house in the center.
"Is that his house?"
"Yeah, he doesn't even come out of it anymore." said gabriel in an exasperated voice.
I looked at it and I felt a significant amount of inner force from it.
"𝘐𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 9𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘬, 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘢𝘳, 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 15𝘵𝘩"" I thought to myself as I felt the energy emanating from the house.
We reached his front door, gabriel knocked and no response came.
"He's unconscious, let me do it."
I stepped forward and manipulated the energies inside, If he was forced to wake up, he would've been in danger. But by manipulating and nullifying certain energies around and inside a person, you can wake them up safely.
After 4 seconds, I managed to complete the task successfully. I kicked down the door and greeted the now waking up God of war.
"Excuse our intrusion." I said plainly while staring at the person who just returned to his consciousness.
"Oyy, what are you two doing? I was about to break the 9th bottleneck, but my inner force disappeared suddenly!"
"Oh don't worry about that, I was the one who did it."
"Oh? If it isn't teacher! what brings you to my humble abode?"
"urggh, since when did I become your teacher?"
"Ever since you thought me about the inner force, my strength skyrocketed and my body felt much more powerful than ever! it is because of you that I was able to achieve these results."
"Getting powerful is good and all, but don't dump your responibilities to someone else."
"Eh?? Oh I'm sorry about that Gabriel. Anyways, since you're here, let's have a fight! This time I'll use body enhancement magic, the pain I felt from your punch last time still haunts me up to this moment." Said Alvion as his body shuddered a little bit.
"Ok then, I would also like to know if my former power without the quasil is enough to take down a magic powered god of war."
We distanced ourselves from each other and took our stance. Afterwards, an intense battle started.
Both of us used 80% of our abilities and unlike what happened last time, we're actually fighting for real this time. But because of my vast knowledge in the martial arts, every attack of the opponent can't hit me, predicting the next 32 moves that the opponent will execute from a single attack is just child's play for me. In terms of physical capabilities, both of us are equal.
As the fight carried on, Alvion started to use all kinds of magic. However, I didn't notice that the seal inside me is about to be broken. After a few more exchange, both our powers dropped to about 40%, we stepped back from each other and decided to end things in a one last attack.
I gathered monstrous amounts of energy in my fist to the point where you could feel a murderous aura emanating from it.
Alvion also did the same, he took out his spear and began charging it up. At that moment, without my knowledge, the seal completely broke and the quality of the power in my fists began to change.
We dashed into each other for the final attack.
Gabriel seemed to notice the strange occurence in me and he immediately shouted desperately.
"ALVION! DODGE!!!!"
Alvion also heard Gabriel and tried to tilt his body sideways. As for me who also noticed the change, I tilted my fist into the opposite direction and reduce it to just 20%, but despite that, the landscape in front of me and the uninhabited floating islands beyond it got erased into pure nothingness. It's as if... Reality got shattered.
"W-What in the hell was that?"
"That attack, how could it be that powerful. To be able to shatter even reality itself."
Even I was shocked myself, compared to the 70% punch I hurled at Alvion for the first time. This 20% is on a whole another level, and both of them are achieved with the use of Quasil.
"I see, I guess that's what really happened at that time." said Gabriel.
"Hmm? what is it?"
"When both of you fought at the Arena, I felt a strange power come from above when Lucas attacked you. I think the power that I felt, came from the God of creation. In order to protect the audiences, the God of creation suppresed the attack... So this is... the true power of the Quasil. Who knows what would've happened if that attack at the arena wasn't suppressed" said gabriel as he looked on the large area which is now in the state of nothingness.
