Chapter 921 The Evolution Ends
?Reign stopped talking as his mind wandered back to what happened four days ago. He had lost to his anger, and once again, allowed darkness to take over.
He didn\'t remember much of what happened, but Theron did show him, after all, he always had a memory crystal with him, and ever since Elyndor had shown himself and had called for the angels, the crystal had been recording everything that was going on.
Upon seeing himself in the form he had been during the battle against the angels, Reign felt immense shame in himself.
The form had given him incredible strength, it allowed him to fight against the angels, even though calling it a \'fight\' was a stretch, but it made him lose control completely.
"I … I don\'t know what happened, the copy, I don\'t know how it keeps getting control of me like that." Reign said as Raziel shook his head.
"It is not the copy you need to be careful of, Reign."
"Not the copy, but then what do I need to be careful of, I mean, everybody said that this was one thing all Nephilims go through, they have to fight against the darkness within them, the copy of themselves created deep inside that always tries to take over the body."
"If not the copy, then what do I need to be careful of?"
"I cannot tell you more than that, the one hint I have given you is all I can do without helping you too much and endangering your future, after all, everybody has their own problems that they need to face, a wall they need to overcome, and the darkness is one that all Nephilims have to overcome by themselves, no outside help is allowed, that is the rule I have placed, and it has been respected for eons, I will not be the one to break it."
"Was the sight you showed me, the destruction of Insepula Oasa, you losing control, giving in to the darkness?"
"No, I had already conquered it at that point, well, I had conquered it centuries, maybe even a couple of millennia before that, I can\'t really remember the exact time, after all, too much time has passed since then."
"You see, I was the first Nephilim, and for me, it was … different."
"I didn\'t know about the darkness inside of me, I didn\'t know what exactly I had to do, there was nobody there to teach me, to guide me."
"I had done it all by experimenting, by trying my best, and I succeeded, but I had only successfully conquered the darkness when I was a Low God, while now, most Nephilims will accomplish it when they are Transcendents, the gifted ones will manage it even before that, mostly during the evolution to become a Transcendent, after all, that is the final trial."
"The final trial?"
"Yes, but enough of that, I am certain you have many questions to ask me, I can sense it, after all, you did go through a lot recently."
"That man, Avargan, he said I was fateless, that all Nephilims are, but … didn\'t you tell me otherwise?"
"Correct, I did."
"So … you lied?"
"No, it is simply that?he was a weakling, a Tier VI being that tried to pry into something much higher than he was, such beings cannot hope to get a glimpse into a higher fate, for example, when Quin was there, he tried to see his fate and nearly died, that was because once a being reaches the realm of a God, his fate is different, destiny changes, it becomes much more complex."
"Quin, is that the name of the Nephilim that helped us?"
"Yes, his name is Quin, he is my right-hand man, my lieutenant, and the second-in-command of the entire Immortal Army, my first student, and the most powerful amongst them."
Reign gulped at the words Raziel had said.
He had attacked Quin, he knew that.
He had thought he attacked a Low God, and in the past, he had dared attack someone even more powerful, and he had done so when he was merely a level 15 being, a weakling that the current him could kill in an instant.
"Don\'t worry, Quin won\'t hold it against you, in fact, he was quite intrigued by you, not many could say that they intrigued him, you should feel proud of yourself."
"I don\'t know about that, I mean, I think it\'s quite dumb to try to attack a god."
"It is, after all, he could kill you by merely showing his true form, causing your body to evaporate, but all that have reached the realm of gods can do that," Raziel said with a smile.
"You see, it is true that Nephilims do not have fate, they are not connected to the tapestry, to the destiny of the universe."
"So, I am different?"
"Yes, you … as well as a couple of more of them."
"Nephilims are outside of the rules of the system, even though it does lend itself to us, and I have never banned anyone from using it to grow stronger, it would be a dumb thing to do."
"I do, however, not allow anyone to divulge any secrets to the system that have to do with Nephilims, and our fate is different because we live outside of the system\'s rules, but the system itself is intrigued by Nephilims, it wishes to know more about us, and because of that, it has tried for eons to get more to be a part of it, which is why it has managed to give fate to some, like you."
"So, what does that mean?"
"Most of the time, nothing to be honest, it is just a way for the system to try and integrate more Nephilims with the universe and its rules, to try and understand us all better, and it doesn\'t really work, after all, as long as I exist, I will not allow such a thing to happen."
"You said most of the time, so there are exceptions?"
"Of course, some will have a destiny to do grand things, things that will shake the universe to its core, that will change some rules."
"Do I have such a fate?"
"Perhaps, perhaps not, it is not set in stone after all, fate, as you have already noticed with talking to that man Avargan, can be changed, and it\'s not even that hard to change it at times, as long as one knows what they are doing."
"I\'m confused."
"You should be, you\'re merely a Tier VI being, matters such as this one concern the truth of the universe, and only gods are privy to them, and not all of them."
"If you wish to learn more of it, you will need to grow stronger, achieve godhood, and become a powerful and influential being in the universe, only then will you able to know certain matters."
"Is my fate the reason you are talking to me, after all, I doubt the being that is deemed as the oldest and most powerful in the universe talks to mere mortals like me all the time."
"Hahahahaha!" Raziel suddenly laughed heartily.
"Well, you are not quite a mortal, ever since you have awoken and become a Nephilim, you have stopped being a regular mortal, and I am the first Nephilim, I do care for my people after all."
"But you are right, I do not speak to all Nephilims like this, only those I deem worthy and talented enough, so do try not to disappoint me, after all, I am placing a lot of faith in you and what you can accomplish one day."
"I know you had many more questions, but I fear we do not have much time left Reign," Raziel said as he smiled at Reign.
"Continue growing, continue becoming more and more powerful, only then will you learn of what you want to learn."
"You will know why things have happened as they have, you will learn of why the Earth is how it is, why Nephilims are so different from other beings that exist in the universe, how you are different from others."
"Without strength, knowing certain matters is useless, and knowing some other things can lead to death outright."
And with that, the entire place that Reign and Raziel were in blurred before turning white.
Moments later, Reign opened his eyes and stared around the grand hall.
There was no damage to the hall, nothing had changed, nothing at all.
It did, however, seem a bit brighter than before, but that was all.
Reign stood up and stretched. His muscles were a bit sore from not moving for a total of 20 hours, and his joints popped a bit as he stretched before taking some clothes out and putting them on.
He felt amazing, he felt much more powerful than before.
But that was nothing new, after all, that was how everybody felt after evolving.
An evolution, depending on the person, would nearly double their stats, making a person much more powerful and increasing their control over mana and their own body.
