God's Eyes

There were quite a few things that had to be taken into consideration with Jason's plan.

The most difficult of them was to receive help from every Primordial God Candidate.

It should be possible, but they were unlikely to help a newly chosen Candidate just because he was ambitious.

With that in mind, Kyle felt like he should have a talk with Yan.

And this was exactly what he did with the use of the UTC phone.

They talked for several hours after which Kyle returned to Jason before he said,

"We will take care of the other Primordial God Candidates. Both of us know about your plan, and we know who you need for which task.

As such, you should focus on your Godly foundation and the Chaos Emperor. If you can help the Chaos Emperor to postpone his advance to Godhood, it would be for the best.

It would certainly help us if we have more time to prepare everything that you will require for later.

But first of all, we need more UTC phones!"

Kyle had been able to assess the value and importance of the UTC phones quite well.

Thus, he knew that, at the very least, each Primordial God Candidate required one.

For now, this would be enough, but the future would require far more of them.

But there was no time to mass-produce them, even if Yan said that he had already started to try his hand at manufacturing them as well.

Even if he was proficient with runic constellations, it would take him quite a while to create a working end product.

This only made the importance of having UTC phones even higher.

This was even more important than rushing over to the Chaos Emperor in the opinion of both Kyle and Yan.

Thus, Jason reproduced more than 30 UTC phones, in a mere decade.

A lot had changed since he created his first UTC phone, and there was no need to be overly careful as it had been the case before while manufacturing the first one.

He was still forced to inscribe the runes slowly, and of miniature sizes, but that was not a problem.

With enough UTC phones at hand, Jason was finally able to focus on his foundation, and on finding his way toward the Eye of Chaos.

Kyle knew the coordinates of the Eye of Chaos because he had been there more than just once.

He put the coordinates in Jason's UTC phone which allowed him to leave right off the bat.

Everything was quite a bit rushed, which would usually mean that Jason's Godly foundation could easily be flawed if he were to make the slightest mistake.

But that was not the case because the Universe's Origin energy within him was actively forcing its way through Jason, to build up his Godly foundation.

Thus, almost a quarter of his Godly foundation had already been constructed.

Jason was astonished by the rapid speed, but at the same time, he could tell that it was not fast enough for his plan on protecting the Chaos Emperor.

He was not sure what would happen to the Chaos Emperor, but Jason knew that he was only alive owing to the Chaos Emperor's seals.

As such, the bare minimum he could do was to try and give his best to return the favor.

With that in mind, Jason decided to leave Kyle after he finished creating the UTC phones.

The time was ripe, and the pieces of the Universe's huge puzzle were slowly falling in place.

Using the UTC phone to manifest a Miniature World bridge, Jason stepped through it, just to emerge in the Eye of Chaos.

And that was literally what he meant as he was in the only tranquil area, that was surrounded by tremendous streams of materialized Chaos.

It was as if a huge tempest was raging around him, but Jason understood pretty quickly that it was not a natural phenomenon, but the Chaos Emperor's chaos that was subconsciously released from him.

Through his Divine Eyes, he was clearly able to see more than a dozen Beast Gods, constructing a dodecagon array around a ginormous black existence.

It was the Chaos Emperor, an existence that was not yet God, but who had enough strength to rival and easily overwhelm Royal Primordials.

But that was only owing to the destructive energy that shrouded the Chaos Emperor, and the entire mountainside.

All of a sudden, Jason felt guilty without a real reason. It was not as if he had done something that should make him feel guilty in the given situation.

He just felt weird, which lead him to take a deep breath as he received multiple signals from his soulbonds, his soul world core, and the Origin energy within his body.

"I know, I know. Calm down, I didn't plan on running away, not after everything we accomplished!"

His soulbonds, Origin energy, the Soul world core, and even his Celestia aura were pulling him towards the dodecagon.

This led him to sigh deeply as he wanted to take a look at how to approach the situation in the easiest way.

Unfortunately, he was running short of time, which forced him to rely on his instincts.

But that was more than enough as he made his way through the pilar that the dodecagon array created.

The Beast Gods had noticed his arrival, but they had to focus on the array to restrict the Chaos Emperor's breakthrough.

Thus, it was impossible for them to prevent Jason from doing what he presumed to be the right thing.

[I'm here, Chaos Emperor. Sorry for the long wait! If releasing the Chaos helps you to postpone attaining Godhood, just do it. I will take care of it, don't worry…]

Speaking to the Chaos Emperor directly, Jason smiled faintly.

Afterward, he released his Celestia aura at once.

It expanded in an instant, sweeping through the entire Eye of Chaos, unrestricted by the destructive traits of the Chaos energy.

Activating all three of his God's Halos at once, a roar escaped Jason as he released his Origin energy as well.

All of a sudden, his Stigma lit up, followed by his entire body that was enveloped in nine more Stigmas.

Jason didn't merge with his soulbonds, but their stigma had manifested around him.

Their effects had overlapped, just for his Origin energy to enhance the effects over and over again.

Sweeping through the Celestia aura, the Origin energy prevented the Chaos energy from destroying it.

But instead of working against the flow, Jason decided to do something that most beings in the known and unknown Universe would label as crazy.

Even Jason would call himself crazy if he would have never handled and harbored Chaos energy before.

However, in the past, he had had several encounters with the energy of Chaos.

Because of that, Jason decided to absorb and devour the Chaos energy, and to make it his.

This prevented the Chaos from disrupting the Universe, and it eased the burden on the Chaos Emperor as well as the Beast Gods.

Everyone presumed that Jason was sacrificing himself, but it was only when they began to notice that Jason's body was compatible with storing Chaos energy that a wave of shock swept through the minds of the Beast Gods.

All of a sudden, more and more Origin energy emerged around the Eye of Chaos as Shima heard the call for help that Jason's third God's Halo had initiated.

In reality, it was not Jason who had called for help. He had merely made use of the [Emotional Vintage] effect of the third God's Halo in order to release his worry, and determination to help the Chaos Emperor, and repay the debt he owed.

In the end, the reason for Shima to rush to his aid and support Jason's effort to protect the Chaos Emperor, and to postpone his advance to Godhood did not matter.

It was just important that it happened, nourishing Jason's Celestia aura with the Origin energy of Shima.

Making use of the energy within all of his Soul dimensions, from the Celestia aura, from the Universe itself, the Origin energy within him, and all of his Stigmas that had been activated at once, Jason slowly noticed that his body entered a trance-like state.

The Chaos energy entered his body, partially merging with his Origin energy and body.

Astonishingly enough, the two different energies within his body lead to an acceleration in his cultivation as his Godly foundation was rapidly constructed.

It made no sense, but the merged energy of the Chaos energy and the Origin energy turned into something one could label as perfection.

Like this 95 years passed, marking the advent of the 1000th year since Jason was born, and the birth of a new God, who was bound to change the entire Universe.
