Odyssey of the Blind God

"By the way, what happened to the other person?" The Old Demihuman asked.

This question gave Nial a little bit of a headache, but he chose to stay honest.

"The person is dead, I killed her," He said seemingly nonchalantly. The old demihuman raised his eyebrow while he continued to stare at Nial.

"Why did you kill her? If you were actually caught in an isolated stellar system, that would mean you were all by yourself, which is quite lonely. If you killed the other person, that is."

Nial understood the suspicion of the old demihuman but he didn't really care whether someone believed his words or not.

"I rushed inside the spatial portal because I wanted to kill her. Ending up in an isolated stellar system far from home was not what I planned, but it didn't change anything about my plan. She was a friend of mine in the past, only to kill my mother, which is why I killed her to make sure that my sister wouldn't follow her into the spatial portal. It's a little complicated.

Thinking about it, it's pretty good that I ended up in the isolated stellar system rather than my sister. She wouldn't have been able to escape it that quickly," He said.

His words were still rather nonchalant but there were surges of anger when he spoke about Bella Morningstar. She might have accidentally killed their mother, but that was because she intended to kill his sister, just for an astray attack to deliver the final blow to their beloved mother.

Thinking about it caused uncontrollable rage to erupt from within Nial. The old demihuman realized that as well. He made a mental note of Nial's answer while simultaneously trying to take note of his attitude, behavior, and potential danger level.

​ "But you really don't know the Origin, which is also called Jundra, or the Spectran race, one of the Primordial races of the Universe?" Nial asked, changing the topic to something that was more interesting for him than Bella Morningstar.

The old demihuman looked at Nial for a few seconds before he shook his head, "Something like a Primordial race does not exist here. I do not know the name of a race called Spectran, nor do I know a place called Jundra or the Origin."

'That makes things a lot more difficult,' Nial thought. If the Primordial races of a Universe ceased to exist a long time ago, it would make sense that nobody recalls them. It was also possible that the Demihumans had never encountered one of the Primordial races because they lived somewhere the Primordial races couldn't reach or didn't want to go. However, the Demihumans were able to travel through space, which was an important point he took note of as well.

"Do you guys have Dungeons, Worldbridges, and the like?" Nial then asked without too much hope. The old demihuman shook his head, which was exactly what Nial had expected.

"We don't have anything like that," He said.

The answer he expected was enough for Nial to start doubting where he was actually located. Was he still in the same Universe as before or was he thrown into a different Universe? Were the Spectran that powerful, able to throw someone into a different Universe?

Nial didn't think so because it didn't make sense that the Spectran who accidentally leaked his Divinity for a second or two, was able to unleash the power required to throw him into a different Universe.

But if that was not the case…where exactly was he?

Nial had literally no clue about his current whereabouts. He could only make guesses but they were random and might actually worsen his mood just by thinking about them.

"Is it possible to see a map of the known parts of the Universe then?" Nial asked while deep in thought.

There were a few things that he had to take into consideration but getting to know the known parts of the Universe was already a pretty good start. The Demihumans were also pretty technologically advanced, which meant that why must have recorded the known Universe. That was to be expected, at the very least!

"After you undergo a medical examination that will examine your health, your mental state, and a few other things, you may enter the city temporarily. I can provide you with a temporary quantum bracelet with which you can access the map of the known Universe," The Old Demihuman said, reaching out his helping hand to Nial.

That was the least he could do after Nial didn't kill the dozens of Mythician Demihumans who had attacked him without attempting to talk it out.

The demihumans had been under a lot of stress but that didn't really explain why they acted like this. It was almost as if they had been out for a fight, willing to use Nial as a dummy to release their stress on, no matter what would happen to him.

Nial didn't know about that, so he was happy about the generosity of the old Demihuman. He was not exactly sure how high the old Demihuman was in the hierarchy, but being at the Trixor rank and able to make sure that no fight was breaking out while another Trixor Demihuman was present could be considered enough to show that the old Demihuman was highly respected.

"That would be great," Nial nodded, "Thank you very much. Your help means a lot!"

He was honest with every word he said. The Old Demihuman was certainly a great help. This was especially the case when it came to taking care of all the procedures required for the medical examination and his temporary stay.

Nial was led inside the city where he entered a shuttle next to the old Demihuman. The others looked at Nial with complicated emotions but nobody dared to say anything against the decision of the old Demihuman.

His words were the law and they had to heed the law no matter what.
