Chapter 568 Awakening the darkness element.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When humans were banished into this dimension they were divided into 3 groups. The first group were those who hated the All-Father, and obviously, it was led by Cassius. He settled this group on a large island which later expanded to the Tigeria empire during his slumber forced by his injuries.

The 2nd group were staunch believers of the All-Father. Not only did they not believe that the All-Father betrayed the realm, but they somehow believed that all this was a ploy by the other races to stop the Human race from rising above them.

This group settled at the East of the dimension, and after a few decades a genius named Synder was born into their midst, and the rest was history.

As for the 3rd group they didn't care about the views of both sides. They had the mentality that since they were already in this mess, the best course of action was to focus on their development. This group settled in the mountainous regions of the North and formed the Kaldron empire.

Although all groups had stark differences that separated them, one thing they all had in common was the agreement to not tell their descendants about being stuck in a dimension.

"Normal people might have forgotten about the banishment, but deities like Synder haven't. Just like Valerius, he has a large appetite for power and doesn't like the fact that he is left to feed on scraps while other races have the main meat."

"This attitude made it easy for Valerius to approach him with the promise of even becoming stronger than an All-Father, just like the Neons had also promised him." Cassius shook his head in great disappointment as this was a pattern that he had seen play out more than a thousand times over the centuries.

"Having the opportunity to work with his role model and also become stronger, Synder accepted his request for alliance and in no time they enacted the first step of Valerius' plan, summoning people from another planet."

"Due to Valerius lacking a physical body, something went wrong with the summoning process, causing it to take a thousand years for Earthlings to be summoned. This might also be the reason why the summoning process was so inaccurate, but I am not too sure about that." Cassius pondered about it for a few seconds before getting interrupted by Blake.

"What do you mean by inaccurate? Did the summoning spell have a particular target?" Blake asked in confusion.

"My suspicion is that the target of the summoning process was just you." Cassius replied.

Blake was shocked and confused because he saw no reason why a Deity would want to summon him. "Me? What makes me so special?"

"Valerius' main aim is to find a host and groom him/her to the Angel realm before forcefully taking over the body and soul. This is so the host's body can handle his powerful soul without getting destroyed."

"I was being groomed all this while?" Blake was shaken to the core as he began piecing events together.

"That explains why Prince Bryon had been so good to him without any reason. Even when it seemed that he got strict, it was just so that I don't get suspicious." As Blake recalled all their encounters, he felt his already thin trust in people becoming non-existent.

"That explains why the system was so against me going rogue." Blake muttered to himself.

Seeing Blake silently going through a crisis, Cassius paused his narration and gave him the time he needed to get himself together.

As he went through the memories of his life in the past 4 years, Blake was dejected. "It sucks to realize that I have been working myself off for someone else' perverted goals when I could have spent more time with my friends."

"Don't be too hard on yourself, one thing I have understood over the centuries is that everything happens for a reason." Cassius said causing Blake to raise his head and look at him.

"Imagine if the summoning spell took effect while I was still slumbering, I wouldn't have gotten to meet you because Valerius would have been the one in your body.

"Imagine if you had actually spent more time with your friends, do you think you would have been this strong or survived the attack in the prison that led to our meeting?" Cassius asked causing Blake to reflect on his words.

After seeing that Blake was now okay, Cassius continued with his narration. "The reason he chose you is because you are related to me and sure to have the darkness element."

"But I didn't awaken the darkness element?" Blake was confused.

"Not yet." Cassius replied with a smirk causing Blake's eyes to widen.

"Are you saying I can still awaken the darkness element?" Blake was ecstatic.

"Yes, the darkness gene in your body was only suppressed. As the lord of darkness and my connection with the Mother-stream, I should be able to activate the dormant genes." Cassius explained causing Blake to go over the moon.

"It is only with four elements that Valerius would be able to face the combined strength of the Deities of other races. So as long as he doesn't get his hands on you, his plan is as good as failed."

Blake was considered to be a man-made anomaly with less likelihood of occurrence than someone awakening both the space and darkness elements.

"I had no clue I was that important." Blake let out a helpless sigh as he felt a mountain of responsibilities being dropped on his shoulders.

"You don't have to worry, I and Dorian will be here to here to guide and help you, but first let's deal with your suppressed genes." Cassius appeared in front of Blake and placed his hand on his head before activating his connection with the Mother-stream.

Mystical energy spread out from his chest region into Blake's body, before making its way into his cells.

AH!

Blake screamed in excruciating pain as his body was now creating another star path!

(AN: If you have noticed, Cassius isn't as emotional as someone who had stayed for millenniums without his family should be. This could be because Athuor-san overlooked it or this could be because he is the Deity of the darkness pathway. Maybe both ;)
