God's Eyes (Web Novel)

While there were only four newly ascended Gods, Jason felt that he could fight only one in particular right now.

The others might not be stronger than him, but he wanted to show his devastating strength, instead of fighting someone head-on.

As such, the Celestia God he chose was the one, whose God's Halos unique traits were something that he could counter.

With that in mind, he picked Celestia God Keran, the newly advanced God, who was deemed as the most powerful one in this millenia's batch!

There were only three years left before the Tournament of the new Gods, and Jason had yet to make an impact on the Royal Celestia Gods.

And for that to happen, other Celestia Gods had to start speaking about him.

Because of that, he entered the Divine Colosseum and found Celestia Juan almost immediately.

"Hey Jason, are you finally done cultivating?" He first asked in a friendly manner, before noticing the devastating differences in Jason's entire being compared to how he had appeared in their last meeting.

Each cell in his body seemed to be overflowing with strength, his God's Halos seemed to be vibrating due to their vigor, and both his aura and stigma looked like they were alive, and thrumming with energy.

Thus, Juan subconsciously took a step back.

'Wait…he reached the Peak of the Driekta stage?!'

Everyone knew that Jason had been cultivating on his father's divine platform for the last 130 years.

However, even then, the speed with which he reached the Peak of the Driekta stage was certainly shocking.

And the energy that radiated from him was even higher, tens of times at that.

As such, it was only obvious for Juan to feel intimidated.

He instinctively took another step back before hearing Jason's answer.

"I'm done, yeah. Do you know where Celestia God Keran is? He should be preparing for the Tournament of the new Gods, right?"

Juan was not sure what Jason wanted from Celestia God Keran, but he just nodded his head before pointing towards a direction further in the back of the Divine Colosseum.

"All four newly advanced Celestia Gods are sparring with one another. They are trying to find out their flaws, and to analyze the other newly advanced Gods of the remaining four Primordial races."

Just when he finished his words, Juan heard him mutter a faint "thanks" before Jason catapulted himself towards the direction of the four newly advanced Gods.

He emerged next to them just a moment later.

Bowing slightly, Jason began to smile at the four of them before he asked,

"Celestia God Keran, are you willing to have a friendly spar with me?"

Because he didn't feel like beating around the bush and starting a weird conversation, Jason felt that getting straight to the point would be the best.

When the newly advanced Gods saw him, they were first astonished for a moment, only to recall the gossip they heard about the halfling of their race.

Earlier, they had been too busy with their advancement to the Tritaer stage, followed by the solidification of their domain.

As such, the information they had about Jason was too little.

Thus, their first thought was that Jason wanted to fight them just because the four of them were currently quite popular and considered to be possible winners of the tournament that would be held soon.

Yet, the longer they looked at Jason, the weirder they felt.

Everything that had even remotely to do with Jason looked unnaturally strong.

Meanwhile, the determination in his eyes, made it seem as if he was confident in fighting them head-on.

As such, when Keran finished evaluating Jason, he couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you want to fight me?"

It was obvious that Jason's plan was far tricker than he let them believe.

He wanted to hear the truth, and thus, he looked at the young halfling for a few seconds.

"Of course, because I want to beat you?" Jason answered without the slightest sign of hesitation.

His words were far from being a joke either owing to the seriousness in which they had been spoken.

This prevented the other newly advanced Celestia Gods from ridiculing him, even though they found it funny for a Demi God to dare to say that he was confident of beating a newly advanced God.

"Is there a reason why you want to beat me?" Keran replied with another question.

He could tell that Jason was serious with his words, but that didn't explain his behavior, at all.

"Well…I want to gain the attention of the older Celestia Gods and the other Royal Celestias." Jason answered honestly.

There was no need to hide this because it was quite obvious.

As such, he was quite glad when he saw that Keran nodded his head.

"So you feel confident of defeating me, and through your victory over me, you want to gain the other Celestia Gods' attention.

Probably you want to attend the Tournament of the new Gods as well in order to gain more reputation in the eyes of other Gods even though you are not one yet.

Is that something your father planned in order to force all Gods to see your talent and to work together against the Veil?"

The problems revolving around the Veil kept worsening, which was why Keran presumed that Royal Celestia God Yaldra was behind this entire situation.

If Jason was really confident of defeating him and gaining the interest of the other Royal Celestias, they would focus on showing off Jason in the Tournament of the new Gods.

Once he was to gain everyone's interest, they could reveal that his God's Halos and his talent were a clear indicator of the fact that Jason was the most likely candidate to become a Primordial God.

Afterward, everyone was likely to find a ray of hope that the Veils that were spread all over the Universe would be closed, or at least forced to stagnate.

The moment this ray of hope emerged, all, or almost all Gods would start working together against the Veil.

After all, the moment a new Primordial God was born, everything was bound to change.

Taking this into consideration, Keran couldn't help but be quite curious about Jason, and if the rumors that revolving around him were true.

His entire being was overflowing with energy, and it looked like the amount of energy he possessed was nearly comparable to that of a True God.

On the downside, Jason didn't have a domain, and his control over the unique trait of his htree God's Halos should be quite low as well.

With that in mind, Keran couldn't help but smile lightly before he answered,

"We can fight, but I won't be holding back. Show me everything you got!"

Keran was interested in Jason's capabilities and the trust Royal Celestia God Yaldra had in his son.

He wanted to see if the rumors were true, and with that in mind, Keran wanted to see if Yaldra's plan was feasible or not.

Having seen the terror of the vile beings behind the Veil, he could only hope that Jason was even more promising than the rumours suggested.

As such, he couldn't help but smile when the corners of Jason's lips curled upward.

"Don't worry, I won't ever hold back either!"
