Guardian Of The End-Chapter 159 Planning A Grand Return

"To connect with your guardian again, simply use the particles of divine energy inside you. Absorb them and direct them towards your soul. Your guardian will be able to break free from nightmare." Veritas explained to Jason.

"As for you," Cerberus said. "Do the same thing. The piece of divinity inside you should partially activate but I am afraid that there is nothing else we can do for it."

"I see…" Amber replied with a dejected look.

Seeing her disappointed expression, Flamey suddenly jumped on top of Amber and wrapped around her neck.

Some conversation happened between the duo and Amber's mood got slightly better.

"You both can do that here only," Veritas added. "Once you are done, you will be able to leave this place and wake up inside your real bodies."

"We will be leaving now. You both are a fun pair." Cerberus grinned.

The pair of divine beings said their farewell and vanished from the place. They had moved towards the final phase of their plan and their only goal was to observe things from the shadows.

'Warn me if anything unusual happens.' Jason asked the system before sitting on the ground.

He could still sense the particles of divine energy inside him. Jason gently guided the particles towards his soul.

Though he didn't know the exact location of his soul, he could feel Hestia's power leaking out inside his body.

He focused on that connection and sent the divine particles towards his guardian.

'Hestia, wake up. You have lived in those nightmares for long enough.' Jason silently added.

The last particle of divine energy left his body. His eyes glowed once as the the divine energy was no longer present inside his body.

Jason patiently waited for something to happen. He believed in Veritas's words since she was the goddess of truth.

[ You shouldn't trust others so easily, especially gods and goddesses. ]

'I never said that I trusted her. I simply said that I believed in her words.' Jason replied.

Five minutes passed by in such a manner yet Jason didn't lose hope. At last, something happened after ten minutes had passed.

Jason body suddenly burst with thunder and dark mana. They wrapped around him and supplied him with an otherworldly power.

[ Thank you for waking me up. ] Hestia's sweet voice entered his mind.

'No need. It was my job to wake you up since you are my guardian.' Jason replied and stood up from the ground.

He looked around to see Amber still sitting on the ground. The red-head seemed to be meditating.

Jason curiously activated his special vision and peered at Amber. After his breakthrough, he could now see the mana inside other living beings at his level or below his level clearly.

His eyes could see the movement of the divine particles slowly vanishing near her heart. Jason continued to watch the scene with an interested expression.

If someone else saw him, he would have definitely been marked as a pervert.

'Is it me or her mana looks more purer than mine?'

[ Hmm, you can say that her mana is a bit purer than yours though I don't know the reason for that. ] The system replied. [ Host, look at her mana core. ]

Hearing the system's words, Jason looked at Amber's mana core, rather, multiple mana cores.

All three of her mana cores were shining brightly, producing mana at an alarming rate. Jason saw some that most of the natura mana automatically started moving towards Amber's body.

Jason cut of his mana vision and observed the scene through his normal eyes. His eyes widened when he saw fire wrapping around Amber's body like a protective shield.

He could see that the fire wasn't created from Amber's own mana but was created from the natural mana that was gradually wrapping around Amber.

Five minutes passed later…

The fire around Amber had taken the form of a salamander. Amber was sitting inside its head while the rest of its body stretched behind her.

A flash of light suddenly went out of her body and illuminated the entire area. Different colors of light shot out from her body in the form of rays.

Amber's eyes flew open, the irises glowing a bright shade of orange. Jason switched on his vision ability again and saw mana leaking out of her body.

But he probably didn't need to do that. A large wave of mana shot out of her body, causing the nearby sand to change into glass.

Jason was knocked off his feet but managed to land back by doing a flip in the air. His eyes were focused on Amber's magma mana core which was glowing the brightest amongst her three mana cores.

'So that's what happen when a divinity activates…' Jason thought with an awed expression.

[ Her divinity is only partially activated. It is currently working at fifty percent power but judging from the outburst we witnessed, that divinity definitely belongs to a major god. ] Hestia replied in a doubtful tone.

'Is something wrong?' Jason asked.

[ Well, if that divinity belonged to her patron god, it would've been activated shortly after she was born. Did she tell you anything about having a patron god or goddess? ]

'No, she never told me about anyone like that.'

[ Well, I have my theory but I don't want to believe that its true. Can you do me a favor and ask her about her divinity later on? ]

'Sure.'

In front of his eyes, Jason saw the salamander slowly vanishing. Amber stood up from the ground and smiled at him.

With a jolt, Jason realized that Amber was emitting an aura that could rival his own aura. If the two of them fought, the silver-haired boy wasn't sure that he would win without revealing his trump cards.

"We should be going back now." Jason commented while walking up to Amber.

"Maybe. We have spend a few months here but I have a feeling that quite a lot of time has passed in the outside world." Amber sighed. "I wonder how everyone is doing there."

"They should be fine, hopefully." Jason murmured.

The two stood in their spot for a few seconds before their bodies started turning to particles of light.

"See on the other side." Amber said before her body vanished.

Jason spared his surroundings one last glance before closing his eyes. His body turned to particles of light and vanished, leaving the place behind for good. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

"Was the energy generated by the two of them enough?" Cerberus questioned.

He and Veritas currently stood on the tallest peak present in their domain. Both of them could only look at the two youngsters vanishing without being able to leave themselves.

"Its more than enough." Veritas smiled. "If everything goes right, we can actually leave this place in six months."

"So we will be leaving then?" Cerberus questioned.

Before Veritas could reply, a teasing female voice answered, "No, you both won't be leaving then." 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Phobos suddenly materialized in front of the duo in her succubus form. Her eyes were burning with power yet the goddess of fear kept it under control.

"Hello, Phobos." Veritas greeted with a smile.

"Hey, truth speaker and big dog," Phobos replied. "Two more people would like to appear here and it would be better if you let them enter this place."

Veritas and Cerberus sighed before letting the remaining two figures to enter their domains.

"Its nice to see all of us gathered together after such a long time." A male figure said in a deep voice.

He was dressed like a medieval traveler and had white bandage tape wrapped around his eyes. His body wasn't well built yet was emitting an aura that made the other three gods feel slightly anxious.

"You should turn that stupid passive ability off, Hod." Phobos punched the man called Hod in the arm.

"Also, that was a bad pun." Cerberus coughed lightly.

Technically, Hod was blind as long as the bandages wrapped around his eyes were present.

"Tsk, you guys haven't changed one bit, all of you are still noisy and annoying." The last figure said in an annoyed tone.

His skin was sun kissed with different runes drawn across his arms. A snake biting its tail was etched on the man's forehead.

A scythe hung from his back, shining brightly under the sun. Heavy armor adorned his body, making him look oppressing.

"Apophis, we are not going to war. You can come here in your more casual look." Veritas sighed.

Apophis looked like he was about to complaint but all the other gods glared at him, including Hod.

In the end, he changed into a much more casual look, which included cotton pants and shirt paired with sunglasses that were lying on the edge of his nose.

"That's better." Hod commented before deactivating his passive aura. All the other figures had their auras deactivated as well since it would create a huge conflict if all of their auras were on at the same time.

"As I was saying, you both aren't going out in six months or rather, you shouldn't go out after six months. All of us will still be trapped inside your various trials so you will alone out there." Phobos explained.

"That I know." Veritas smiled. "I was just checking whether all of you were listening or not. My hunch was correct. All of us have fallen from our previous godly positions and are more interested in eavesdropping on each other."

None of the four other deities could tell whether the goddess of truth was joking or not. It was hard to determine this with Veritas.

"Anyways, let's get to the main topic," Apophis muttered. "I take it that we will be planning our return to the outside world?"

"That we will." Veritas grinned. "After all, it will be grand return of five deities who were sealed off."
