The Bored Immortal-Novel

Oben slowly raised his head and said, "I don't have much time now. I broke the Odic Contract I made with Bamir."

"An Odic Pact? You really made one with such a being? But why? Why would you jeopardize your own soul like this?" Sae asked with visible worry in her voice.

Nyissa also had her brows crinkle in worry hearing what Oben said.

"Because our planet was in danger. Bamir wants our planet for some reason. But he needed my help and even made me like this so that I could be of use to him. Borin just happened to be wanted by Bamir as well. The only reason I accepted was that I was able to strike a deal with him that even if he took over our planet, he wouldn't hurt any people. I thought we both used our souls to sign the contract. But only later on I realized that I was too ignorant to see that he had used a mortal's soul to sign the contract. Since he is a fallen god, there are lots of loopholes and tricks he knew, but I didn't. The only reason I continued to go along was to see if I could make a difference at the right time. Anyway...it doesn't matter anymore…." Oben said with an impassive expression, making one unable to guess what he was feeling.

White cracks began to appear on his skin and slowly began to spread over his body.

"Oben…"

"Grandfather…"

The two women finally were able to make sense of the things Oben did and were glad to see that some of the original Oben or his dedication to protecting his home planet and people were still there.

And now they were saddened when they realized that his soul would disappear forever soon. Not a trace of him would be left anywhere in the universe. It was an ultimate sacrifice only someone who deeply cared for the well-being of their world could do.

Nyissa knew why Oben wanted himself to be seen as a villain since she could see how he was disappointed in himself for doing things he never wanted to but had to.

"Oh no…" Oben mumbled with a frown as he quickly waved his staff, and a big spinning dark orange energy sphere manifested in the middle of the dungeon.

As seconds passed, the energy sphere continued to become darker and darker till it started to turn red. It was spinning so fast, it looked quite dangerous as well.

"Oben, what's that?" Sae asked in a confused tone as she saw Oben hurrying towards it. She could see that it was staying invisible the whole time so that others wouldn't see it.

"Sae, Nyissa, direct your Odic Energy to stop this thing. Once this thing turns black, then this Naraka Bridge and our world will merge!"

"What?!" Nyissa's eyes widened as she and Sae immediately acted and used their energies to try and cancel the self-sustaining energy that was powering up the dark sphere.

"This sphere is a complicated space and time portal. It was set up by Bamir, and I used it to bring you all here by temporarily merging this place with the forest you all were in. But the sphere's true purpose is to envelop our whole planet and this Naraka Bridge together till they merge together," Oben explained as he continued to exert all his strength to stop the energy flow in the sphere.

Nyissa gulped hearing that as she mumbled, "Then, that would mean the end of all life...But why would a fallen god want to do that? What is he up to?"

Oben shook his head, "I don't know...I have been trying to find out for centuries, but he is too careful, not that I am surprised."

"Then we have to stop this thing at all costs now that Bamir has lost his mortal body…." Sae gritted her teeth as she also poured all her energy

The energy sphere had slowed down by a bit, but its color continued to turn darker as it became crimson, alarming the three.

"It's too strong...We will be too late…" Oben mumbled with a visible tremor in his eyes.

Meanwhile, on Earth, it was night, but the skies suddenly started to light up and turned a bright shade of crimson all over the planet.

Taya, who was unable to sleep and was sitting on the balcony, suddenly got up with a baffled look seeing the strange changes taking place in the skies.

She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was dreaming or something, but still nothing changed, and the skies continued to turn into a hellish crimson color.

*Rumble!*

Red lightning streaks began to streak across the crimson clouds, startling Taya, who frowned, feeling an ominous feeling from this sight. The atmosphere around here suddenly seemed unpleasant and heavy.

"Viktor...where are you…" Taya mumbled in a longing voice as she tried to call him but only to find out it was switched off for hours. She tried to call Brad as well, but his phone was also switched off, making her worry even more.

However, she calmed herself, knowing that nothing bad could happen to Brad as long as Viktor was with him.

She knew Viktor would do anything to protect the people he cared about though a feeling of uneasiness was making her chest heavy.

Around the world, especially the countries where it was supposed to be daylight but was replaced by dark crimson skies, people were confused and shocked to see what was going on.

Within seconds, the phenomena became trending on social media, and even the people at the top had to wake up from their sleep to investigate what was going on.

What unsettled most people was that the crimson skies and red lightning were giving them a feeling that their world was about to end.

Meanwhile, in Earth's Naraka Bridge, Oben and the two women were still trying their best but were only able to slow down the process by a bit and couldn't see themselves stopping it even with all their power combined.

*BOOOM!*

Suddenly they heard someone jumping in through the ceiling, only to turn around and have their eyes widened upon seeing that it was a ten-meter tall werewolf, baring their fangs while glaring in their direction.

"Viktor…" Sae was happy to see him, but she suddenly realized that this was not really Viktor who was conscious, based on the look in his eyes.

"Oh no…" Nyissa was already familiar with how murderous and coldblooded Viktor could get whenever he had the same look in his eyes and couldn't help but feel that their situation couldn't get any worse.
