It was impossible for Zeke to track Erebus down.
Sighing, he felt immensely disappointed at losing a great opportunity to find Lacey.
Zeke's Ossa Dei communicated with him telepathically. “I saved your life earlier, Zeke. Don't forget you owe me a
life debt now.”
“Oh? You saved me? Your consciousness wasn't suppressed by that weird mental energy?”
“I am the bones of the Ancient Gods, after all. At the very least, my mental energy is more powerful than mortals.
That's why the attack just now was ineffective against me.”
Zeke excitedly asked, “What's the deal with that mental energy, Ossa Dei? Why is it so powerful?”
After thinking about it for a while, Ossa Dei informed, “If my guess is correct, that mental energy should belong to
the Ancient Gods. They can remove parts of their mental energy and seal that energy inside special vessels, such
as that yellow talisman. Then, when its power is needed, it can be released.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Wow!” Zeke was shocked. “Does that mean Ancient Gods are still alive at present?”
“That is technically the case. Moreover, Ancient Gods are, well, Gods. They have much longer lifespans compared
to mortals. At their shortest, their lifespans can last for around two to three hundred years. At their longest, they
can exist for more than a millennium. They may very well still be alive.”
“Where did Erebus obtain that power, then?”
“I don't know. You need to ask him yourself.”
Tightening his fists, Zeke swore to himself, I will capture Erebus! He knows too much!
It wasn't until he returned to Ares, Sole Wolf, and Nameless that they returned to their senses.
Nameless promptly opened his mouth and vomited blood because he was severely injured by the mental energy
attack.
Sole Wolf, Nameless, and Ares proceeded to stare at the scene in panic. “W-What happened earlier, Great
Marshal?”
Upon taking a deep breath, Zeke told them about the Ancient Gods' mental energy sealed inside the yellow
talisman.
The trio was shocked. “Oh my goodness. Erebus is actually capable of contacting the Ancient Gods! If they join
forces, Eurasia is in grave danger!”
Zeke assured, “Relax. Eurasia is protected by Fortuna. Even if the Ancient Gods still exist and bear ill will toward
Eurasia, Fortuna will undoubtedly punish them severely and protect Eurasia.”
His words put the others at ease.
Squatting down, he picked up Lacey's handkerchief.
He missed her even more after seeing her belonging.
“Where did Erebus obtain that power, then?”
“I don't know. You need to ask him yourself.”
Carefully, Sole Wolf consoled, “Don't worry, Zeke. This handkerchief does give us a piece of optimistic news. At least
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit proves that Lacey is on Theos Island. Also, we now know of another way to find her—through Erebus.”
Holding the handkerchief tightly, Zeke muttered, “I will find you, Lacey, wherever you are. We must capture
Erebus!”
Sole Wolf, Ares, and Nameless all kneeled before him. “Rest assured, Great Marshal. We swear that we will
apprehend Erebus.”
Nodding slightly, Zeke said, “Come, let's head back first.”
Concurrently, the Northern Faction had captured Golden Cicada, tied him up, and handed him to the Southern
Faction.
“We've captured the culprit, Dragon King. Feel free to deal with him as you wish. He's behind everything, so please
don't blame us and let us go instead,” the messenger pleaded.
Draco sneered at Golden Cicada, please with himself. I was always bullied by him. In the past, if one faction was
doomed to be destroyed, it was definitely going to be the Southern Faction. But now, Golden Cicada is the one
suffering as the Northern Faction finds itself in a precarious position, encircled by the Southern faction.
