Odyssey of the Blind God



"Urgh…"

Nial was not sure how many years he spent inside the Nightmares but it had to be an eternity. 

He fought his way through the three Nightmares, slowly resisting them one after another before he overcame them with a final, smooth stride. 

When he regained consciousness, Nial found himself on the ground.

'Where am I? Ah…I am in the City Hall of Miray…I was trying to get their approval…' Nial recalled, but he wondered why he had been left on the ground for several years.

"How much longer do you want to stay on the ground, kiddo?" A hoarse voice rang out from behind him.

Nial began to visualize everything around him at this moment. More than twenty Asura and Infernal Ancients appeared in his proximity.

"How long was I out?" Nial asked while getting up from the ground.

'It hasn't been years, but probably a few days. Looks like the Nightmares tricked my sense of time just like the Witness State.' 

Once he was up, Nial turned to the Asuras and Infernal Ancients.

The strongest Asura held out his hand, which Nial took without too much hesitation.

"You've been in the Nightmare Trial for 54 hours, and you passed. By the way, my name is Elya Necandril. I'm the Orui of the Asura, That's basically equivalent to their Leader, or King, though it entails some different responsibilities, and other stuff that you don't have to mind," The strongest Asura Mecyrs, Elya Necandril, said.

Most Asura had pretty similar features. They had long silky hair and their eyes were uniquely shaped, similar to a Dragon's. Their figure was neither bulky nor skinny. They were certainly athletic and extremely powerful in terms of physical strength, but their muscles were compressed. That made it seem as if they were tall and thin.

The Infernal Devils told Nial that their eyes were crimson and their hair silver. Nial didn't really care too much about these minor details but it looked like his Devils felt that it was important for him to know.

'If they think it is important, it has to play a role. Did they want to tell me that they look like Vampires, or that their powers are similar to a Vampire's Blood Control?' Nial wondered for a moment before he discarded the thought.

There was no need to overthink anything now that he was getting closer to his initial goal. It was about time for him to get his hands on the four Gigalorian Galaxies!

"54 hours? That's less than I expected. Good thing that I passed through. This shit was nasty," Nial pointed out first before he slowly added, "My Name is Nial Orin, and I hope The Quizz Trial won't be as nasty. Don't come at me with questions I cannot answer just to give an excuse to avoid my request!" 

Nial made it seem as if he was joking about the latter part but he had already figured out that the Quizz Trial was the best to use as a means to reject his request. If the Asura and Infernal Ancients told him that they were not satisfied with his Quizz Trial's answers, there was nothing Nial could do to change their opinion.

Basically, it was a sure way to wiggle out of troublesome requests, which was pretty smart, and annoying.

"There is no need for the Quizz Trial anymore. I hope you don't think too bad of us but it was very important to observe your Nightmare Trial. We found the answers we wanted while spectating your progress in the Nightmares," Elya Necandril apologized calmly.

Nial's expression didn't change much upon hearing what the strongest Asura said. He just nodded his head.

"I expected some of you to observe the Nightmare Trial, in the first place. This request of mine decides whether the four Gigalorian Galaxies will follow me into the second Great War, or if you will stay behind. It's necessary to find out more about your potential ally before it's too late."

Nial's words were enough to ease Elya's expression. He didn't know the Successor of the Late Darkness God, but he knew that Damian wouldn't have liked it if someone watched his Nightmare Trial. In fact, he would have killed everyone who watched it. That was something Elya Necandril was certain about.

'This kid's personality is much better. The way he cleared the Nightmares was also pretty good. Following him shouldn't cause too many problems. 

"So I only have to pass the Power Trial and the four Gigalorian Galaxies will aid me in the Second Great War?" Nial asked out of curiosity.

It was already a little surprising that he was only asked to pass three trials before receiving the aid of the four Gigalorian Galaxies, but considering that Damian had been the former ruler of the four Gigalorian Galaxies, they might feel like they had to support him. 

Thus, Nial didn't think too much about it.

However, now that he thought more about it, he felt a little weird. The Asuras and Infernal Ancients didn't seem to be thinking about the Darkness God as their irreplaceable Master, but more of an ally. 

'Was the information I acquired wrong? Maybe, Damian was not in control of them? He just helped them a bit…probably?'

It was a little confusing but also not something that was worth thinking too much about.

There was no need to be overly worried. After all, the Asura and Infernal Ancients seemed quite nice.

"The Power Trial is not as simple as you may think. You will have to challenge the leaders of all races living in the Gigalorian Galaxies and be acknowledged by them. Of course, you are only eligible to challenge their Leaders after we, the Asura Mecyrs and the Infernal Ancients think that you're worthy," Elya Necandril pointed out.

This gave Nial a little headache. He was not on par with the Asura and Infernal Ancients yet. His combat power was clearly weaker than an Infernal Devil's.

But that was only obvious. It hadn't been that long since he ascended godhood.

He was still an ordinary God, just that his connections were better than others.

'This is a little troublesome…'
