Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1094: Meeting The Sky (4)

"Can I be honest?" Actuass said as he somehow stood up, disregarding the powerful force that had kept him kneeling all this time. "Ever since I found out that your soul was imbedded in the very skies, I was thrilled. I knew instantly that it meant you had ascended. However, the more I learned about the other Deities, the more I grew disappointed in what you had become."

"My fierce, mighty mother, who had been as powerful as legions upon legions of experts equal to Transcendents here on Aigas had become the Deity with the least renown. Suzamete, the skies. Suzamete the Deitess without anything to her name on Aigas, save for a few fools who run around doing her small errands! How pathetic!"

As Actuass shouted, his arms pointed accusingly at the individuals around him and the amalgam bowing before Suzamete.

Vohnvolt glanced at them.

His sockets burst with ferocious flame.

He was only now paying them much attention.

'Wait...' he thought. 'Are these the same people who...'

Indeed. It seemed they were!

The carts and carriages around these figures jogged his memory.

Back when Skullius had met Bek, the Spirit Warden, the two had been hunting down a strange group of people who stole the sick in a town called Harifrast and left strange dolls in their

wake. These people had been very odd to Skullius back then.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.371&382).

When using his Projected Form, where he would exit his physical body as a being of darkness, his vision identified everything in black, white and grey. Humans usually had measures of black and white, signifying righteousness and evil according to the criterion established by the Insurgent Magnus class.

However, in his eyes, these people appeared as entirely black, as anomalies.

Skullius had seen their tracks in Evic as well, when he had gone to save the city from the bandit group led by Kenno back then. Once again, he had seen traces of their dolls, all supposedly found close to the injured and ill.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.531)

Now, Vohnvolt could see those odd, blank dolls in the carriages around these bowing individuals.

These people served Suzamete, but what exactly did they do?

Why did the Deitess have them kidnap the sick and ill?

'Now that I think about it, didn't I also find out that the All Eater Scroll belonged to these people too?' he thought.

His sockets drew back to Actuass and Suzamete.

The necromancer was mocking a Deitess without fear.

"You sent out these mortal men and women with mythical tools to do your bidding. Why? You're just too damn inferior to the others, aren't you? You can't even exercise any kind of decent interference on your own. Do you even have Priests that have sworn to you? You lack authority and power when compared to your peers and that's why you have never actually created anything on Aigas, right? And why did they leave you behind? Why are you alone supposed to welcome Boron when he rises to the surface? How can you even call yourself a Deity in the face of this? Is this what you left me for?!"

Actuass had felt deeply about this as he grew anew on Aigas.

He grew to understand that Suzamete had no real renown and wasn't known as anything other than the sky on this world.

Actuass wasn't too sure what his mother did after leaving Faaminl. He assumed she probably didn't achieve Divinity while on Faaminl, but left when a member of Aspire to Divine reached Divinity and took the entire mercenary group away, finally earning them the title of an 'interworld' organisation.

He wasn't sure if Quintess and Listafelle were members of the original group, but it was a possibility. The two must have been close to Suzamete, and she must have left the Aspire to Divine mercenary group with them somewhere along the line when she too achieved Divinity and sought to become a Deity.

But this collusion of hers seemed to earn her little as it appeared.

Actuass scoffed when no response came from Suzamete.

"You seem to think that stomaching my insults only proves that I'm just a raving mortal but you're wrong. It's easy to see the truth from the lowest of the low rather than from the highest of the high. You have just resigned to one of those Affiliations from back home. You've regressed, mother."

<Is that all you see?>

Suzamete finally spoke.

"Yes," hissed Actuass. "I see someone who abandoned not just mortality but reason when they ascended. You should have kept your original name at least, not this pretentious, meaningless placeholder."

...

Vohnvolt was stunned.

Suzamete seemed to churn. Perhaps she was irked slightly by Actuass' words. However, she didn't commit to the discussion he was setting her up for.

<You claim you came to save me. But I see it differently. I see it clearly. You were prepared. You split the world, the sky. Did you hope to subdue me if worse came to worst?>

Actuass flexed his arm which had turned to a nasty shade of purplish-pink.

"Subdue? No. I'm not stupid," he said.

The biology of Deities was known on Faaminl, albeit at a rather basic level. Quite like the Stages on Aigas, a Deity's body grew stronger and stronger until it evolved into something like a world in itself, a fortress where they could manifest their selves in different forms and

manifest ideas.

When one reached the Divine state, their body and souls, which normally learned from each other, became separate entities that could work completely independent from each other, both equipped with different characteristics.

However, to maintain the status of a Deity, both were required. A Deity's soul alone wasn't quite as powerful.

This was why Actuass had split Aigas. He split the world and the sky, Suzamete's body, so as to isolate a greater portion of her power - the larger part of the world and sky with Feinheath, Opungale thousands of kilometers worth of ebony sea.

Currently, Suzamete only had access to less than half of her body's strength.

"I took extra measures in case you decided to kill your son right here. I know you knew I was coming. After all, everything that happens and will happen in this world you helped make is already known to you, isn't it?" Actuass said.

...!!!

'What...?' Vohnvolt thought in surprise.

However, this was quickly glossed over by the two before him.

<Indeed, I knew you would come, but I would never choose to kill you. For now, that isn't

worth doing. However...>

"You want to keep me here," Actuass interjected.

A sigh seemed to come from Suzamete.

<Listafelle and Quintess will not be pleased if I allow you to keep causing mayhem. I owe

them this much. Yet, I also know you won't stand for it.>

At this, Vohnvolt's sockets blazed.

Really?

He spoke for the first time since coming here, reminding everyone that he was within this odd

space too.

"You're just going to let him get away?" he said coldly.

At once, he felt the whole attention of a Deitess press onto him, but he didn't shrink docilely

this time.

He wasn't going to stand for letting this bastard get away just because he had 'friends' in high

places.

If he had to avenge Allora himself, he would gladly do so!
