Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial sliced the spear through the area in front of him, cutting through the chest of three Veilures. They had shot toward him at the same time, and slicing them at once was the most efficient way to obstruct their path.

He twisted his body and pushed his feet against the nearest body to gain some momentum, evading the incoming attack and creating a rapid counterattack.

His spear pierced through the neck of the Veilure, whose claw missed his head by a narrow margin. Nial twisted the spear in the Veilure's neck before he used some fore to slash through the side.

He retracted the spear and waited for more Veilures to attack. However, the only thing that remained was the sound of flames crackling loudly as the bodies of the Veilures were charred.

The loud crackling covered even the noise of the screaming Veilures that could only be heard faintly. Nial could tell that the three Veilures, whose chests he had sliced, were being burned to a cinder.

It was a shame that the Gods were too impatient and not willing to let him fight anymore, but their help didn't really change the final result of the battle.

He would have won, one way or another. The God burning all Veilures was just accelerating the process.

"Thank you!" Nial still said, somewhat grateful, somewhat forced.

It was always better to have good connections, and a God was usually someone with great connections. Either they were the top dogs of the race they hailed from, or they were higher-ups of their race and able to use other Gods of their race as connections.

Nial was always in need of information, and clients who desired Saint Runic Armaments. As long as they were wealthy, which one should expect from Gods, it was worth befriending them.

Who knows? Maybe some of them were in possession of rare materials that he might need!

"No problem. I'm glad to be of help," The God said while eying Nial with interest. Nial's body hadn't radiated any energy for the instance of the battle. However, now that the battle was over, a massive pressure of energy was unleashed from within his body. That was interesting.

"Are you here to train?" He asked, looking straight into Nial's milky-white and lifeless eyes.

"You could say so," Nial answered before teleporting over to the Veil, "and I'm here to make things easier for you guys as well!"

He took a deep breath when he finished his words and released his Vengeance of Chaos. Crimson moonlight and Darkness Essence were used to enhance his Vengeance of Chaos but that didn't change the entire process by a lot.

In a matter of ten minutes, he drained the Veil, the chaos fissure, of most of its Chaos before he stored it inside his body. The superior chaos was trying to wreak havoc inside his body, but it failed miserably to do so.

"What did you just do?!" Another God asked in shock, "The Veil…shrunk in size!"

His voice traveled up to Nial, who smiled in return.

"I devoured the excessive chaos of the Veil," He answered while thinking about what else he could say.

"Devouring the excessive chaos will make it more difficult for large numbers of Veilures, especially strong Veilures, to pave their way to our Universe. It is not a permanent solution because I cannot prevent more chaos from accumulating on our side of the Veil, but I might be able to find a solution to permanently seal Veils in the future.

Of course, I need to research a bit more to make sure that something like that is possible, in the first place!"

Nial could say a lot more, but he didn't want rumors about him to say a lot more. He was pretty sure that the Gods would share their experience in the group chat of the Veil Guardians. Nial hoped that the Advocate of the Pryards would hear about this and that he, or she, would get nervous.

Nial wanted to Advocate of the Pryard for making a mistake. That way, he could find out who it was and initiate his actual plan. The pre-plan which he was currently making use of was nothing special. It was just one of the many things he had to do in order to create the strongest possible Divinity.

"You can do that? Are you planning to remove the excess chaos from every Veil?" A third God asked, interested in Nial's future plan.

However, Nial just gave them a shrug.

"We will see."

He didn't intend to tell anyone about his future plans. There was no need for others to know about them.

He smiled lightly at the Gods and bowed toward them to make sure that they understood he was polite and kind.

"I will take my leave now. Have a nice day!" Nial said, teleporting back to Shadow, who roared out loudly before he opened a black portal. Nial and Shadow disappeared through the black portal, leaving behind the ten Gods. They stared blankly at the now empty space, smiling weirdly.

"This guy…is really something…" One of them said.

"I totally agree. Did you see him fighting without a trace of mana? He is blind but didn't use his energy. It seemed to be sealed or something like that. But even then, he was able to perceive the Veilures and fight them with little to no problems…what a weird guy." Another one added, just for a third God to shrug.

"I am fine as long as we don't have to pay too much attention to the Veils anymore. If it means that I can focus on my Divinity's progress, I am thankful for that kid's help.

He did a good job, even if I doubt that he acted with the intention to make our lives easier!"

The others agreed silently and they turned their attention back to the Veil that was calmly resting in the open space.

It showed no signs of expanding in size, let alone allowing more Veilures to emerge on the other side!
