God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 214: A Viable Way Out



As stupid as it sounded, Nolan had to believe the system's suggestion to be possible.

There truly might be a race in this world that is advanced enough, and possesses enough power, to help him return to Alteria. But he could guess such a race would be an incredibly powerful and renowned entity to have the ability to travel between worlds.

Still, that left the most important question: why in the world would they want to help someone like him?

If they possessed the power to travel between worlds, then he could assume they were probably stronger than he was.

Why shouldn't they just drill their swords into his head at first sighting?

[That's simple. Give them a reason!]

"What?"

[You don't understand. Picture it like this: the race you need help from is Quinn, the barbarian guy who's been kicking your ass since you were—]

"I KNOW!" Nolan barked out aloud.

[Good. And you are you, of course.]

[Let me ask you, didn't you want to kill Quinn the last time you faced him?]

'I did...' Nolan mused with narrowed eyes.

[But did you? He's still alive and kicking now.]

"The only reason he's alive at all is because of that shadow bastard of his. If not for him, he'd already be dead!" Nolan said with a huff, but his eyes soon flashed as he understood the system's words.

[You get it now, don't you? Even though you had made up your mind to kill Quinn regardless of anything, the Shadow Guardian stopped you at the last second.]

[It was a reason Quinn possessed to make sure you didn't kill him.]

[So all you have to do for the alien race to help you is have a good enough reason, so much so that even if they wanted to kill you, they wouldn't be able to and would have no choice but to obey your will.]

"You could have just said, I should marry their queen, instead of giving your wild-ass example," Nolan said with a snort, as the system chuckled in his head before replying.

[Don't mind me. I just thought rubbing it in that girly face of yours might do you some good in this situation.] It said before going silent, but now Nolan had an idea in his head.

The system's plan now seemed reasonable and truly his only choice.

All he needed to do was find a race with the power to take him to Alteria, befriend them, and make them trust him enough to help him.

It was a feasible plan.

But first, there were a couple of things he needed to do, the first of which was finding the race he needed.

[This place truly is hell for a Celestial Heir,] the system said as Nolan's eyebrows narrowed.

"What do you mean?"

[There's no Divine Essence here,] the system replied, and Nolan's eyes widened in shock.

Immediately, he spread his senses, and less than three seconds passed before Nolan shut his eyes open.

"There really is no Divine Essence! How in the world...?"

[Assuming you're a Celestial Heir. After exchanging moves with those scorpions, your Divine Essence would have run out.]

[And with there being no Divine Essence in the air, you won't be able to recover your strength nor heal your injuries.]

[And swiftly so, you would have been reduced to nothing more than an ordinary mortal. Then you will just start praying you don't come across a second beast, or your fate will be sealed.]

[Perhaps that's why that guy said to you, "you would have to survive hell first." This truly is hell for a Celestial Heir.]

[Unfortunately, though, you don't use Divine Essence in the first place. So that's not a disadvantage for you,] the system said as Nolan grinned.

"First time not possessing Divine Essence is actually a good thing…" He said with a cocky and proud grin, but that was wiped off when he saw something suddenly flash in the encroaching darkness right above his head, disappearing into the distance and then...

BAAAAAANG!

An incredibly strong wave of energy slammed into the ground, resulting in a mushroom cloud of energy lifting into the sky.

The shockwave that followed was nothing short of maddening as Nolan instantly wrapped his hand around the humongous tree he was standing on, yet it was bent to the ground with incredible force.

The air became a sharp blade that ripped apart his skin, drawing blood.

Around him, Nolan saw various beasts flying past him, unable to quickly grab onto something, crashing into the opposite trees and being blown to pieces.

The instantaneous chaos was shocking, but it lasted only a few minutes.

After just five minutes, the shockwave disappeared, but when Nolan opened his eyes and looked at the surroundings, he noticed the entire forest had almost been cleared.

All of the trees had bent to the ground, unable to rise again, making him more than uneasy.

But that also made him see the burning flame column in the distance.

[Your chance,] the system said, and immediately, Nolan shot into the distance with speed.

He had no idea what crashed into the ground, but no doubt it was something powerful, and if anything, perhaps something that could help.

It was dangerous, and he might truly be running to his death, but Nolan was still willing to risk it.

He couldn't stay in the forest anymore since all the trees had been toppled, and he was 100% sure there would be some beasts that didn't die.

Then Nolan would be more than clear to all the beast since the tress have been toppled, and he would surely be hunted down by them.

The best thing he could do was leave the forest area, but he didn't want to go back to the rocky ground, so he might as well risk it and see what caused such an incredibly powerful explosion.

It took Nolan a total of two hours of running non-stop before he finally arrived at the area where the crash had happened.

But he was more than shocked when he saw what really crashed into the ground, and all his hairs rose and his heart began pounding madly.

"Is this… is this!!?"
