Chapter 223: Lost Heavens (Part-1)
It was only after ten minutes did Ludura let go of Kai with a crying face.
Kai can only feel that all of this time he was very lonely and meeting a friend after billions of years caused him to break down with joy.
Only after returning to his tranquil stage, did he stopped using his divine power.
Few seconds later, the surroundings return back to how it was before.
Listening to all the pain he had gone through while he was hugging him.
Kai came to know that he is one of the last spiritual gods from the second era who survived after the collapse of old heaven from the second era due to the change in universe laws.
Ava, Antonio walked towards them with confused expressions.
He knows that they will have many questions for him and Ludura.
He understood that and also knew that there are some things which needed to be kept secret from them and also something they must know.
Finally his eyes fell on Leo who was maintaining a distance from him. Kai doesn't know why Ludura chose this guy as his apostles and can only wait for Ludura to reply.
'Its seems it's going to be a long story telling and discussion.'thought Kai.
Laura also looked at them with emotionless faces.
Ava and Antonio had already seen him using his divine power so he doesn't feel it's a necessity to hide his identity and act like an ordinary servant that he has been doing till today.
"Uncle I didn't know that you can use divine power? Do you also have received blessings from one of the Gods?"
Asked Ava as soon as he got close to him and held his two hands with curious eyes.
Antonio was also curious. Dernol who has been working in the royal palace for many years and can be said to be one of the most trusted and friendly people in the royal palace.
Even Carlos, who is the right hand of my father, has to listen to his opinion before making any major decisions in selecting the royal staff.
Sometimes he had seen his father inviting him to have private discussions with him.
He is also one of the people Antonio respects due to his wisdom and he is also one of his childhood teachers who has taught him many things and can be said to be very close to both him and his elder sister.
He was quite surprised when we saw him near the grand palace gate. Signalling them to stop and asking us to take him with us.
Ludura sighed and looked at her right hand covered by gloves and half ruined face of Ava which was well hidden behind the hood.
Yet, he cannot do anything. Because Ava is not an ordinary follower of Goddess of Truth instead is a candidate for her next apostle and doesn't have any desire to go and fight or the present era spiritual god's in his current weakened state. The other option is that he convinces her to resign from her post.
'Well, Aletheia didn't know that she is wasting her time by selecting her for the position of apostle candidate, just due to possessing greater mental strength than others on the same level.'
Thinking about the cause a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Princess I am not receiving blessings from any god because I don't need to. I am..."
Suddenly a green light engulfed him. Pushing her away from him while Antonio quickly reacted to support her body from falling.
Their surroundings suddenly turned into a Library with shelves filled with a variety of books as the ground below their feets turned into a grass field.
Kai was also looking around. This was the first time he had got to experience the power of domain possessed by divine stage experts and spiritual god's.
Leo was not so much surprised, he had already experienced it many times and is well aware of the identity of Dernol. Slowly he kneels down bow showing his respect to his master.
The elderly appearance was gone, replaced by a young man's face with evergreen hair and brown skin and eyes resembling the god idol with a thick closed book in his right hand.
It was a Ludura form for his followers.
Ava was shocked, she can feel terrifying divine power coming from him. Causing the connection between goddess and her to get blocked.
Antonio was also taken back, seeing the transformed form of Dernol.
Ludura lips curled up witnessing the amazement of the siblings and delighted smiled.
"I am Ludura, one of the ancient great god who governs over the authority of nature, knowledge and Deception as well as guardian of Theothia Kingdom."
"Guardian? A spiritual god?"Ava and Antonio were shocked.
They have heard about the rumour of the hidden guardian of Theothia Kingdom many times from various teachers during their academy days and due to curiosity asked their father. Yet, never received any reply. It was quite shocking that a spiritual god is their kingdom guardian.
"This is a deeply kept secret known to few insiders and the king and is revealed to a king of each generation during his day of crowning. You two have just got to know it sooner which you would have come to know some decades later. It is also due to my bloodline blessings that every generation of Theothia Royal family has evergreen hairs and possesses a unique law body which will activate when one becomes a magic emperor."
"Ah? So how come I don't have green hair like my sister."
Ludura raised his eyebrows with amusement,"You have received the blessings of the world. It's a little different from my bloodline blessings which don't degrade with generation and have no power of destiny blessings or give any specific benefits before one reaches the magic Emperor stage. Not to mention, your body will not be able to bare the pressure of two blessings due to which I cancelled by blessings special for you to save your life."
Kai found it interesting and remembered the bloodline line curse placed by an evil god.
'Mother didn't specifically tell me about the identity of this god as she herself is not aware of his identity. Another issue that I have to solve.'
Ava, who was standing beside Antonio, was looking curiously.
It was her first time seeing a god in person. Usually, when she talks with the goddess of truth.
She had to bow and will feel great pressure and pride in her voice like she is looking down on her. but not before Ludura who was answering her questions without any hesitation or trying to pressure them to bow before him.
She had many questions in her mind and wanted to ask them and was still hesitating.
After observing how his brother is asking questions and how Evaron and Leo were standing there silently.
She went forward and stepped beside her brother causing Antonio to stop and looked at her.
Ludura also looked at her and felt the curiosity in her eyes. He can already determine from his knowledge and experience what kind of questions she has in her mind.
"Lord Ludura, forgive me if I am rude. But how coi no god in heaven know about you? Why are you acting as guardians of our nation? How do you know Evaron and what is your relationship with him?"
"Huh? Evaron. Who is that?"
Suddenly Ludura's expression changed with the sound of cracking resonating in his mind.
Anxiety spread on his face as the entire domain of Ludura started to crack up like a sheet of paper, spreading to his entire god domain.
'How is this possible? Who has such kind of power in the current era?'
Thought Ludura while looking at the origin of the palace from where the cracks are spreading.
