Chapter 386: Let the Trial Begin

A god’s trail was never going to be easy. But the most important thing Kael needed to learn was how to control his power so that he wouldn’t fall victim to it.

Magic was something that came naturally to him. He never had to work hard to control it, so he felt like he was at a standstill.

Still, he had taught others magic, so he had some idea what could work for him.

He started with concentrating on his power, and it worked somewhat. But unfortunately, it did not last long.

Kael’s concentration was suddenly broken by a small jab in the back of his head. But instead of feeling irritated, he felt resigned, almost as if it was something he had to deal with.

He was being called somewhere, and he could not resist the pull. But at the same time, he could not leave the earth alone.

So he created a familiar to leave behind.

The mass of mana did not take any particular form, but it felt reliable. So he decided to leave it for now and head toward the place where that energy concentration was dragging him.

That was how he ended up near the world tree he had seen in Aria’s memories. He had been born from this tree as well…at least, this body was.

It was also getting harder and harder for him to be able to separate who he was and who this godly body was.

However, it was not what was important right now. Kael could tell that something had happened…things had changed, which dragged him out. And that something must have been massive enough to drag all the other gods out.

Kael doubted it was the birth of another god.

In fact, he had a feeling the news he was about to get was not a good one.

He watched as a beautiful woman dressed in white dragged herself in front of the world tree. She felt divine, almost as if even looking at her was taboo. Her face was covered by a veil, and he had a sudden desire to see her face.

But his curiosity was also mixed with caution, as his instincts told him that it wouldn’t be a good idea.

Around him, the other gods who had been dragged here did not look happy. He could read their annoyance at being called here.

“What does the goddess of fate want?”

“The elders made sure to clip her wings and imprison her other two selves so that she wouldn’t be able to act all high and mighty. But look at her. She still thinks she can command us.”

“Shhh, we’d better listen here carefully. I heard that the elders approved this meeting. That means it must be important.”

The gods gathered around the lady of fate, her imposing figure making everything else feel small and hopeless.

But the one who looked hopeless to Kael right now was the lady of fate. Her eyes were hollowed, and her form had started to twist.

Soon, she would remain no more.

‘But how can that be? Fate is something that is inevitable. Unlike other gods, she does not need followers, nor validation. She, like death, comes for everyone equally.’

This information was something that was embedded inside Kael’s mind ever since he had gained this new body. And he was sure the others felt the same.
