I.. Am God?

He then saw The Challenger remove his helmet for all to see his face. When he saw the people's reaction when they saw his handsome face, he grinned secretly and became even more proud.

But, his body suddenly stiffened with what he heard next from him, "I am Ray, son of Guin, daughter of Raya."

When he processed what he had just heard, although his body remained standing, his soul left it as his spirit staggered to the ground, "What the hell he say?!" He squawked like Father He when he heard his son say hard when applying for jobs.

"He is the son of Guin, and Guin is Raya's daughter? But Raya has no daughter except for.." He hadn't even finished what he was going to rant when a thought suddenly came to his mind, "Oh, shit."

His mind rummaged through the memories he had in Aqiartha. When the Princesses and generals of Hayle, Ganae, Ciandor wanted to kill the unconscious Guin, Princess Raya suddenly appeared out of nowhere and vanished, together with Guin.

At that time, he wondered why Raya would do that, but now, he slowly realized what sin he committed, "Holy crapping shit." His mind raced as his soul muttered with stupefaction.

"Did I just accidentally commit incest?!" He asked himself, chuckling in a crazed manner as he clutched his non-existent spirit hair and stared at nothingness.

In the physical world, when Isabelle heard what Ray said, she immediately had a shocked expression on her face and quickly glared at him, "Matthias!"

When she called him, Matthias' body moved and turned to her with a similarly dumbfounded expression. "What does he mean by that?!" Isabelle glowered.

"I don't know either, okay?!" Matthias responded in a defensive manner. "You're a god, Matthias! You should've known who your descendants are!" She reprimanded.

"I should've known who my descendants are!" He absentmindedly rebuked. Suddenly, it occurred to him, "I should've known who my descendants are." Matthias repeated but in a contemplating way.

But, at that moment, the face of an old man grinning from ear to ear suddenly occurred to him. His eyes slowly widened and looked somewhere far away, "Old. Man. Sanyi!" He shouted in anger.

A rift instantly opened, and the old man wearing baggy clothes emerged, stretching his arms out, "Ah, been a long time, been a long time." He greeted.

When the Imperial Descendants and the others saw him appear through the void, they were startled and frightened, looking at him warily.

"Why didn't I sense that Guin was my daughter?!" When he saw Sanyi, Matthias immediately asked with rage.

"Oh, you discovered already?" Old Man Sanyi gasped, but immediately realized what he said, "I mean, what? Really?" He gasped with shock.

"Old Man!" Matthias yelled. "Alright, alright. What happened has happened, don't be angry about it. It isn't even incest." Old Man Sanyi waved his hand to dismiss Matthias' anger, but it only resulted to the latter becoming even more angry.

"How the hell is that not incest?!" Matthias retorted irritatedly. "Because it isn't, Matthias." Old Man Sanyi replied with a face as if he was confident he was telling the truth.

"You are a god, Matthias." Old Man Sanyi said to him, "Even if your seeds spread to your descendants, the implications of those acts would never run through your direct descendants and would only be one if they did it themselves."

"Still!" Although Matthias accepted that explanation, that act was still that act that he wouldn't want to participate in. "Like I said, what happened has happened. If we dwell on that matter further, Divine Heaven Empire would be conquered."

"What did you say?!" When they heard him, everyone inside the room was perplexed.

"Haven't you noticed what's happening in your Empire?" Sanyi laughed, looking at Matthias with ridicule.

"Just get straight to the point, Old Man Sanyi." Matthias asked with annoyance.

"Because of your son's challenge, all of the empire's citizens are watching the battle, and that includes the guards, the sect disciples, and the mercenaries, which are all the people that you were leaning your trust into defending the nation."

"Basically, this empire is free to take." Old Man Sanyi said to him, which made him realize that fact, causing his eyes to widen.

But, Sanyi wasn't done yet, "Also, the month of Deusmachina has arrived." Old Man Sanyi added. When Cane heard that term, he shuddered and realized what the Old Man was implying. "You mean.." He uttered.

"Yes." The Old Man nodded at Cane, proving his assumption true. "Tell me, what happened in the last Deusmachina one hundred thousand years ago, according to the books preserved from that time?" He asked.

"Three gods annihilated the empires and established their own, and fought with each other for dominance." He answered. Listening to them, Matthias could already see what they mean.

"Gods would be free to do what they want, and there is a god in the midst of your enemies. What they can do is limited by only their greatest power."

Knowing what might happen, Matthias went silent to contemplate. Inside his mind, a thought appeared all of a sudden, and with it, an immaterial field started to envelope the entire territory secretly.

In the arena, the two already had enough rest and began to prepare to resume their fight. But, it was stopped when Ray sighed. "We already know our prowess. We should end this fight and continue it on a later date without anyone watching us. Anyways, I have already proved myself, and Mother is waiting for me."

"You can stay here with Aunty Guin with us in the Imperial Palace." Alexander suggested. Without warning, Matthias suddenly appeared in the middle of the two of them, startling them both.

"I suppose you have stopped your match. Shall we leave the sect?" Without even waiting for their responses, Matthias and the other two, together with the people inside the room, vanished from their positions and reappeared inside the Imperial Palace.
