Odyssey of the Blind God

Years passed and the Orion shelter kept expanding. More than three-quarters of the plateau was now covered by the Orion shelter that was constructed in several layers. There were a total of five walls, one being stronger than the other. Every single shelter wall was fully equipped with means of defense and special constructions such as Protection Domes and Forgotten Runic Cannons.

Nial knew very well that the Orion shelter couldn't be conquered even if some beings at the Trixor rank were to attempt barging into the shelter. They would die miserably before they would set a foot in, which was actually something Nial wanted to test out.

His shelter was known throughout the entire continent for accepting refugees of all races. That was considered as a very generous and liberal move but also a very dangerous thing because there were many Originals and races who didn't explicitly like this. However, it was not as if Nial cared about them.

If someone disliked his decision, they could just enter the shelter, challenge someone to a deathmatch and solve their problems without pulling anyone into their trouble. Nobody liked trouble, nobody sane, at least.

Nial spent most of his time in the forging hall, in the workshop that had been constructed next to Ophelia's forging hall, or he spent his time in his own space where he focused on absorbing mana to convert it into dark energy. Cultivating had become one of the most important tasks for Nial but that was only obvious.

Jundra was making huge progress as it regained its strength much faster than everyone had expected. The Origin's mana quality and quantity were already leagues above that of any other planet, which was quite alluring for many races that sensed an opportunity to expand their territory and gain even more than just high-quality mana in abundance on Jundra.

Jundra was also considered a mysterious place that increased the chance to procure Divine Energy within the body. This was merely a theory and a rumor arising from the ancient documents and certain comments that had been made by the Ancients and Primordials. To most that was enough to reconsider migrating to Jundra.

After all, Jundra was considered the Origin of the Universe due to its unique constellation in the Universe, and the fact that it was, apparently, one of the biggest planets in the known Universe, if not the biggest in the first place!

Despite its seemingly unfathomable size, Jundra was showing signs of being flooded with races and Originals in numbers that were not healthy. The news of war breaking out in almost every corner of the planet reached Nial almost every single day, and it was not a surprise when Nial heard that many shelters of the origin humans were under attack.

Nial offered to help the origin humans to relocate and many were thankful for his help. There was no point in being prejudiced against the other races who had begun to populate his shelter, but there were many origin humans who couldn't help themselves. They felt uncomfortable and were certain that there had to be another way to survive.

The vast majority of them wanted their own shelter, without having to live with other races or share a common space. Whether that was pride or plain racism was beyond Nial, and he actually didn't care. He offered them residence inside the Orion shelter and gave them a helping hand for the first few months, but that was already it.

There was only so much Nial could do, and it was not as if it had been very pleasant to live with the origin humans for him, in the first place. He was just repaying a favor. Miles was glad that his son tried to help, and he was even prouder that he didn't force anyone to do what he wanted them to do.

Most origin humans ended up in the Halheim shelter, and predictably conflicts between the Elven races and the origin humans began to erupt. Nial didn't know much about their conflicts, but knowing that Nial was not in the Halheim shelter, or with the origin humans anymore, it seemed like the attitude of the Elves had changed quite a bit.

The origin humans were always demanding something, without even considering giving anything back in return. Building a relationship with Nial and using it was what they exploited to the fullest. He was strong and had the potential to become an Ancient God, and a Saint Runicier. That was more than enough reason to speak respectfully to Nial and hope that they would stay on his good terms. He might as well help them to become stronger in the future, once they were in need of a Saint Runicier to watch over some Elves who were ready to create their own Divinity.

As for the origin humans, they were almost entirely useless to the Elven races. Their existence was more of a nuisance than anything else. The only advantage they had was actually the possession of five empty ability slots in their Mana Core. Being able to bind five abilities was something not many races were capable of. Thus, it was only obvious that the Elves reconsidered enslaving all origin humans and forcing them to become what they desired them to turn into.

The only reason why they didn't enslave the origin humans was Nial. He wouldn't want to see the origin humans being enslaved, especially since his adoptive father and his sister were also origin humans. There was no need to worsen their relationship with Nial if they could prevent it. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

As for killing a few annoying origin human that went a bit overboard and crossed the line, that was perfectly fine.

Nial didn't expect the relationship between the origin humans and Elves to worsen to such a degree. It was not unsurprising for their relationship to go through some ups and downs, but the current state was totally beyond anything he could have expected.

However, their crumbling relationship was one of the least surprising things when compared to the news about the Angel Kingdom that reached them.

There had been no news about the Angels for a very long time. Nial had always been looking for the Angels, only to find nothing. It was almost as if the Angels had disappeared altogether.

But finally he heard some news about the Angels. It was quite surprising because he didn't expect to encounter the Angels anytime soon. He assumed that he would have to ascend to Godhood before he would be able to venture to the Angel's origin planet where he could wreak havoc. It was about time that he took revenge, yet, his strength had always fallen short to face the strongest Angels.

Nial was fully aware of that, and his effort to cultivate whenever he had time was also built on the knowledge that he was way too weak.

He had to become stronger to face the Angels in their home, or so Nial thought until now.

However, now that they seemed to have come back to Jundra, things changed gradually.

It was about time for Nial to take his revenge!!
