God's Eyes

Even after he decided to not use his divine energy, Jason knew that Solaris was much more powerful than any kind of possible attack the tribe chief could possibly utilize.

With that in mind, he released his entire mana into Solaris, who suddenly expanded, turning into a gigantic silver-eyed arctic dragon head.

Running short on the time to roar out, it could only release its terrifying pressure, just as Solaris fired a ginormous frozen flame that was enveloped in a silver hue towards the tribe chief.

Yet, before the flame could hit the tribe chief, it first had to overcome the sword beam the tribe chief had fired before.

Clashing upon each other, the Frozen Dragon flame and the sword blade beam began to shake violently, creating a small shockwave that blasted the weaker spectators away, hurling them several meters into the air before they fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the other Mewi simply stared at the battle, knowing that they would have long since died if they were to face either of the two combatants in the combat ring.

With that knowledge, they knew that both opponents were extremely strong, yet, somehow they couldn't help but feel that the tribe chief was using everything he could, while Jason, the mysterious being, was still holding back.

It was just a weird feeling, but knowing what had happened to their tribe chief in the past, it was evident that he was exceeding his limits with the sword beam that required tremendous amounts of mana to be gathered within the practitioner.

Staring expectantly at the battle that was just a step away from nearing its end, once one of the attacks were to overwhelm the other one, the Mewi didn't even notice that the battle, had in fact, already ended.

Completely exhausted, the tribe chief was panting heavily and hoped that Jason would have used up everything just as he did.

Unfortunately, this was not the case, and Jason, who did not have to rely on mana, detached Solaris, who was shaped into the silver-eyed arctic dragon from Byakur before forcing himself to exert the Floating Sky movement technique.

Just a moment later, he ignored the clash of the two attacks that seemed to take much longer than expected to end.

Emerging next to the tribe chief shortly after he had catapulted himself towards the side, taking a small detour to avoid getting hit by the energy currents that might go astray, Jason lashed out with Byakur.

Yet, instead of killing the tribe chief which would not only be an overkill, and entirely useless, but also disadvantageous for the goal he had in mind, Jason simply held Baykur's blade against the tribe chief's neck.

This was more than enough to end the battle, and as if on cue, Solaris used up the entire mana it had accumulated, turning it back into a small flame that levitated in the air just like a wisp.

Moving slowly towards Jason, Solaris' appearance looked eerie, even if nothing special was happening anymore.

However, transforming from a terrifying head of a silver-eyed arctic dragon that had frozen the sword beam as if it had been nothing exceptional, Solaris was no more a tiny, palm-sized flame that levitated slowly towards Jason before it merged with his body.

This was something that frightened the spectating Mewi more than anything else, and even the tribe chief couldn't help but feel odd.

Despite giving his best, he had lost, and he accepted his loss gracefully after Jason retracted Byakur.

There was nothing the former tribe chief could do about that, to begin with, but somehow he felt annoyed.

Jason's combat prowess was simply too confusing, making him even more mysterious than what he appeared to be at first glance. This feeling was only intensified when Solaris merged with Jason, whose appearance was reverting to his old self.

Artemis left his mana core and returned to the soul world, where she continued to cultivate as if nothing had happened.

This nonchalant behavior of his first soulbond caused even Jason to feel a little bit odd because he was unable to move without being affected by the changes he was undergoing after every fusion.

Maybe this was something that affected only him, but he didn't know for sure.

As such, Jason remained quiet, thinking about the fusion process he could achieve with his soulbonds, while his body slowly reverted to his usual self.

The Arctic aura turned back into his Celestia aura, and the second stigma slowly dispersed.

After a short while, he looked at the tribe chief, who had conflicted emotions visible on his face.

There was doubt, confusion, but also hope, and determination in the Mewi's eyes.

"You're stronger than I expected… Congratulations on defeating me, and also for becoming the new tribe chief!"

Jason nodded his head faintly, not sure if it was really worth being congratulated for.

In the end, the position just added more responsibilities to his head, which he didn't even want to have, to begin with.

However, in order to successfully pass the trial, Jason was forced to do things he didn't even want to.

Not wanting to give any outward sign of what was going on in his mind, he tried to smile lightly and feel happy about it, but the former tribe chief noticed his worries and discomfort.

"Don't feel too burdened, brat. I know that you are trying to help, so I can give you the information about the other tribe chiefs. With that, you will be fully prepared for everything!!"

Upon hearing this, Jason could only stare at the former tribe, unsure of what to say because there were too many tasks he had to pay attention to.

The number of problems was also vast, and there was no time to rest, even if Jason felt exhausted after releasing all of his mana at once.

Fortunately, his passive mana gathering speed was extremely fast, which meant that he wouldn't feel deprived of mana for a long time.

This was extremely helpful and different to the tribe chief, who had used the vast majority of mana that was stored in his entire body, not just the mana core, in order to attack Jason.

In the end, Solaris' Frozen Dragon Flame attack was the reason for Jason's victory as the freezing and mana burning effects had overlapped, creating a strong combined attack!

Earlier, Jason had assumed that he would have to use his Emperor Eyes' abyssal effect in addition to his curses simply to overwhelm the former tribe chief, but there were too many negative factors weighing down the old Mewi.

Furthermore, having underestimated his own strength, or to be precise the combined attack of the Frozen Dragon Flame, and still winning by a huge difference gave Jason much-needed confidence to defeat the other tribe chiefs.

Additionally, there was also the fact that the former tribe chief had been partially restricted owing to a former injury.

Thus, Jason was sure that defeating the other tribe chiefs would be easy, even if he had to fight them in a row, which was required to become Grand tribe chief.

While he was deep in thoughts, Jason didn't even notice that the former tribe chief was talking to him, and it was only when his shoulders were lightly shaken that he regained his senses.

"What? Where? Who?" He instinctively blurted out, only to be frowned at by the former tribe chief.

"Pay attention to me when I explain to you the personality, combat prowess, and the strength and weaknesses of the other tribe chiefs, alright? You have a good chance at becoming Grand tribe chief if you pay attention to what I say. I was the strongest tribe chief before I was injured, so the others will be vigilant of you during the tribe chief gathering."

After the tribe chief said this, with a tinge of pride in his voice, he explained how the other tribe chiefs were exceptionally skilled at combat, what fighting style each of them were good at, what they were lacking, and much more information such as their personality, and what annoyed them.

Other than that, Jason paid attention to the explanations of the Mewi race's secret techniques that used a large amount of mana from their entire body, and not only the mana that was stored in their mana core.

Due to this, they were able to release much more mana than anyone else as mana was the essence of their life, and they were nurtured a bit differently than others.

Owing to that, most Mewi were reluctant to use the secret techniques which marred their proficiency turning them into below-average combatants in that aspect.

As such, the former tribe chief clearly told him that it would be best to prevent them from utilising this technique in a last-ditch attempt to gain an upper hand. Thus, he was supposed to not give them any chance of initiating a counterattack once the tribe chiefs were exhausted.

With that, there shouldn't be too many issues, even if he had to fight more than a dozen fights in a row.

However, at the same time, Jason had to understand that the tribe chiefs wouldn't simply accept him as Grand tribe chief and that they would have no qualms employing deceit and trickery to prevent him from defeating all of them.

Yet, what the former tribe chief didn't know was that the other tribe chiefs were already trying to figure out a solution on how they could defeat the Oceanfolk, and that they were also planning to overthrow him by replacing him with a new Grand tribe chief.

And the only issue in this scenario was that Jason was not the candidate the others had in mind for the position of the Grand tribe chief, but someone entirely different.
