On getting in and shutting the door, Jericho was hit with a furious wave of pressure emanating from the Evlogia Ore, he felt every vain in his body throb and every hair on his body was standing on end, he then proceed to make his way towards the ore, on getting there he placed his hands on the ore and closed his eyes to concentrate, a bright glow can be seen around his body, then his consciousness was sent to Ego Elysium.
When he opened his eyes, Jericho saw he had appeared before all six gods, a smile can be seen forming in the corner of this mouth… "it's good to see you all again" said Jericho with a bow and a smile… "well that was fast… oh, you miss me that much, am sorry am already interested in someone else" said Nea Zoi with a wink in the direction of Meta (bang!! bang!! Meta hit Nea Zoi) "ouch… come on Meta not in front of Jericho" screamed Nea Zoi in pain… "then don't do a 'Nea Zoi' and just stand there quietly" Meta replied with a frown and a blush… "what's that suppose to mean" Nea Zoi mumbled… turning her gaze to Jericho she replaced the frown with a huge smile… "it's really good to see you again dear Jericho" ..… "Jericho… I see you've so far only unlocked mercury manipulation, am surprised you were able to, even for gods that skill is among the most rare, I was really thinking you would get gravity instead (laugh) I guess I was wrong… but there's one thing am sure of and that's you getting one more ability together with the one I blessed you with" said Desmos with a smile… "wait… am getting three abilities?!" screamed Jericho with surprise in his voice… "you might get more but for now it's just those three we are currently sensing from you" Zoe replied… "remember Jericho, you are a sub god with the blessings of six true gods… that has never happened before, no one has ever been seen as worthy enough to carry the blessing of more than two true gods, … you are the first and maybe last ever to carry six blessings… you are definitely going to be more powerful than an average sub god" said Nous…. "well just one god got the honor of carrying three which is truly surprising considering how he is, (sigh) plus he also carriers the blessings of two supreme gods, the All Father and the younger brother of the All Father, whom is also the god of the underworld and the Demonoids on every earth" said Desmos while he and the other gods turned their gaze to the god in question… "what?…. I didn't do anything" Nea Zoi exclaimed in defense, as all eyes were on him, Jericho laughed… "my gods, am sorry if am stepping out of bounds but this All Father?… Who is he, and what are the supreme gods, why such a title?… how are they different from normal gods like you six?" asked Jericho with curiosity in his voice… "oh no you are not out of any bounds…. the All Father is the supreme ruler of all gods and universes…"… (Bios got interrupted) "kind of like a king but of gods… so he is the king of kings" said Nea Zoi interrupting Bios… "thank you Nea Zoi (his eyebrows began to twitch) Nea Zoi has explained it… the All Father is our king and the ultimate ruler of the world" ..… "and right here at Ego Elysium, there are five titles a god can possess, signifying the rank the god commands" Zoe continued… "and the first is the Sub God, which you fall under, it's the lowest rank… you become a sub god when you receive a blessing from a true god… then the next is the True god, like all six of us, you become a true god if you carry the blessing of the All Father, qualifying you to oversee your own world… comes with a lot of responsibilities…. and then we have the Elder god… you acquirer that title if you already brought prosperity to a world, and it also grants you qualification to be a part of the All Father's council, and if you are lucky enough you might lay eyes on the All Father, but it's not really guaranteed (Jericho's mouth was dropped in surprise hearing even they haven't seen the All Father) yes none of us have actually seen the All Father, and we can't, not until we become at least elder gods, even then it isn't certain we will… the next rank is the one guaranteed to let you see the All Father cause of it's importance, and that's the Greater god, this rank is achieved when the All Father appoints you as his Right Hand or in your world they call it a VICE, or Prime Minister, someone with the authority to stand in for the All Father and over see everything in his stead, that privilege is only given to one god among all, it is the highest of honors the All Father can bestowed on his followers" Bios explained, and Jericho couldn't help but voice of wow after hearing Bios explanation… "and the final rank is the Supreme God, that's where the All Father and his brother, the god of the underworld commands… gods with that title are seen as omnipotent and all knowing… they have the power to command all life, and we tap our blesses from them… nothing is said on how one goes about becoming a supreme god, but it is said they existed before any life and will exist after" Desmos concluded… "I see… so Sub god, True god, Elder god, Greater god and Supreme god is order?… how fascinating… that would mean lord Nea Zoi commands the blesses of two supreme gods" said Jericho with adoration in his eyes… "you know it (a cocky smile) but it comes with a lot of work I did not sign up for" Nea Zoi replied with a sad sigh, the other gods also sigh with an exasperated look on their faces… "anyway Jericho that's the hierarchy we have here in the heavens, something you are now apart of" said Nous… "thank you for your explanation and patience with me" said Jericho with a bow… "that was no trouble it was something you had to know, speaking of things you have to know, we have to brief you on the true plans of Pluto and what set him on the path his currently on when the time is right, for now let's focus on one thing at a time… like what brought you to us this early" said Bios regaining his composure as they are entering a serious topic… "right… things on earth are worst than I through, Jace is having willing allies now, he commands some Lost and undead too, and the others are over running the forest and some parts of the world… on top of that the world is divided, cause of the confusion Pluto cause that lead to a war three and a half human years ago, most nations have developed detestation for the three powers, leading to some of them allying with Jace…. earth is entering a fragile path, everyone is in danger, we have to start gathering momentum of our own now, that's one of the reasons am here, to seek your guidance" Jericho explained, the gods stayed silent for a while, exchanging glances at one another… "Jericho as the savior of mankind, do you have a plan in which you gain a little foothold, we are only here to guide you not make decisions for you, it's up to you to decide, then we advice you accordingly" .…. "yes lord Bios, I have one, about the soul energy that was activated, I could sense a great deal of it on some humans, they have really high potential, but at the same time, some doesn't show any ounce of potential… I wanted to confirm if it's normal, I need to know that for my next step" ..… "yes it is normal, you see even in the generation it was meant for, there will be some that has it but won't be able to freely command it, and there will be some that won't have it at all not because we didn't give it to them, cause as you know all living things have soul energy, they won't have the potential to use it at all cause it will be too dormant to get to no matter what they do " Nous replied… "I see… I understand"… Jericho added with a nod… "so Jericho, what are you planning" asked Desmos… "with how things are on earth, it will be difficult to face Jace myself, I will need help, I will need allies, so I've come up with a plan to train the human with the potential to manipulate soul energy… I have found some really good allies already, people worthy of great respect, and I will be truly honored to fight by their side" said Jericho with a smile thinking about Alice, Erica and William, hearing what Jericho said the gods all exchanged smiles and a nod of approval… "let me guess, you are here cause you figured out they will need a catalyst to control their soul energy, and you want to know the best material to use that can easily withstand such energy flow and pressure" said Nous with a smile… "exactly lady Nous, you are truly wise"….. "well of course, I am the goddess of wisdom after all" Nous replied with a proud look… "I was thinking of a material like the one that door was made of back at the holy church where the Elvogia Ore was stored… speaking of that door where did it come from?" asked Jericho with a wide eye filled with curiosity… "oh yes that is another detail about the world you should know as a sub god… but am afraid now isn't the best time to talk about that, cause it's a truly long tale, and it really shaped the world more than you can ever imagine, we will talk about that ruins underneath the church, why Pluto became what he is and many other things, I promise, not just right now" Bios replied… "as for the material you seek I believe it was from a star that got destroyed many many human years ago called Luxton" Zoe added… "yes… that will be perfect to create the catalyst you need… it is light and durable, but it's a little bit tricky to forge anything with it… the blacksmith has to be very very talented to understand a material like that" said Meta… "if I remember correctly the only Luxton star left on earth can be located in a place pretty difficult for normal human to get to, or survive in… hmmm what did the humans call it again.. mist gate, mist garden, mist misty ??…" said Nea Zoi trying to recall the name of the place… "(sigh) it's Mist Nea, just Mist, the actual full name is Mist: The Island Of Fiery Mountains" said Nous in a tired voice… "oh yeah Mist… Island Of Fiery Mountains (laughs) our children are so creative" Nea Zoi exclaimed with a big smile… "Mist? where do I find this place, I've never heard of it" said Jericho with a puzzled look…. "am not surprised you haven't, it's a very treacherous part of the earth, it's a huge island located between the ocean borders of the Drakziel continent and the Human continent" Desmos replied…. "that island actually separates both continents, both territory starts and ends with it, it's what you call a no man's land… no human can live there even if they wanted to, one of the reasons the Drakziel and humans never fought for that territory" Meta added… "but the biggest reason that place remained a no man's land is because it's also the home of a Greater Dragon, the dragon of last days… Teleftaia Mera" said Zoe with a serious tone… "seriously, they really exist?! greater dragons I mean (shock on his face) I truly thought it was a far tale parent tell their kids to make them behave, it's suppose to be a myth, cause no creature dimmed as a heavenly beast ever reside on earth, and that kind of dragon is regarded as an heavenly beast…. sigh… that will make things difficult, what am I going to do now" said Jericho with another sigh…. "oh yes they exist alright, several of them too, earth currently have four greater dragons, but that's a story for another time…. do not worry too much Jericho, you are a sub god, and not an ordinary one too, you are a sub god with a power equivalent to a true god, am very sure you will be fine, even if that's not the case your chances of running into the dragon of last days are very slim, it is a huge place you can't have that much of a bad luck" said Nea Zoi with a laugh and a thought of the dragon still at Ego Elysium… "I hope you didn't just jinx me lord Nea Zoi" Jericho replied with a tired expression… "have faith in your abilities dear Jericho, Nea Zoi is right, I assure you, you will be alright" Nous added… "thank you (bow) I know what my task is now, I should start heading back to prepare…" Jericho was stating before he was interrupted … "before you go Jericho, i have a tip for you to use so you can master your abilities faster, the memories we gave to you only shows you how to call upon the ability, I want to give you a tip on how to really blossom with it, and be one with it" said Bios… "yes… thank you so much lord Bios" said Jericho blissfully, while giving his full attention to Bios… "imagination… that's it" said Bios with a smile… "seriously… that's it… it is really that simple" asked Jericho in a skeptical tone… "pretty much yes, you tend to stress too much while activating your ability like you're forcing it, it isn't as difficult as you make it out to be… just calm down, breathe and execute, allow your imagination to guide you…" Bios explained… "I see now (smiling) thank you lord Bios, I will work everyday on it" Jericho replied with a smile, Bios nodded in approval… "and another thing, you should meditate more often to connect with your soul energy more, it will help you activate your other abilities sooner, but remember if you start manifesting my ability do not make use of it until you consult me first" Desmos added… "oh yes I remember lord Desmos… thank you all, I will be on my way now" said Jericho with a bow.. "wait, one last thing Jericho" all the other gods turned their gaze towards Nea Zoi with a worried look… "yes lord Nea Zoi?" ..… "Jericho, don't be worried about having earthly desires, I mean you are still a man (laughs) you are free to fall in love my boy (smile) just don't do what I wouldn't" said Nea Zoi with a wink, Jericho instantly went all red with embarrassment as he was returning back to earth… "how did you know about that lord Nea Zoi... it's not like that… believe me it's not…." Jericho screamed as he disappeared…
"oh Nea Zoi, that was actually sweet and funny… did you see his face?" said Desmos with a heavy laugh… "seriously Desmos, is Nea Zoi rubbing off on you now" said Meta with a surprised look.. "I mean you have to admit it was a cute reaction (laughs) I hope he truly fine someone to make him happy after all this commotion" Nous added with a laugh of her own… "not you too" they all laughed… "oh no" Nea Zoi interrupted with a worried tone… "what now" asked Meta in a tired tone… "Mera was sent back home around the period we reincarnated Jericho" said Nea Zoi with a nervous smile… "oh dear.. you're right, i totally forgot… I can feel her presence on earth" said Zoe, the other gods exchange worried looks with one another… "he will be fine, it's a big place what are the odds he runs into her… beside he is a beast, no offense… he is definitely strong enough to handle her" said Nea Zoi with confidence… "you are right about him being strong enough to handle her, but am now really hoping you truly didn't just jinx him" said Bios with a sigh… "it is Nea Zoi after all, he absolutely just jinxed Jericho… sigh" said Meta with a tired expression… "for crying out loud, give me a break" Nea Zoi replied with a tired expression of his own.
Back at the secret cave, Jericho's body was there motionless and unresponsive, then a bright glow can be seen illuminating the room, as if gasping for air Jericho regained consciousness… "(breathing heavily) am back…what a sensation" said Jericho still breathing heavily, the though of what Nea Zoi said to him flooded in, and he dropped to the floor covering his face in embarrassment… "it's really not like that lord Nea Zoi" Jericho scream with embarrassment, he then composed himself and made his way out of the room with his head down, hearing the door swing open Alice and father Neon both jumped and turn towards it, soon after they saw a red faced Jericho exiting… "hey, Jericho you are back… wait did you even leave… are you alright, you're beet red" said Alice… "yeah… yeah am fine.. am fine… why wouldn't I be fine, do you know something I don't… no you are wrong, cause am fine" Jericho argued with a nervous laugh looking really red… "okay?… {well that was suspicious}" Alice replied with a confused tone… "Jericho did it go well?" father Neon asked with curiosity… "(clears throat) yes.. yes I saw and spoke to them" stated Jericho while regaining his composure… "did you get the information you needed, you know that can help us with our soul energy" Alice asked in a hopeful tone… "yes.. yes I did but it's going to be really tricky getting to it" said Jericho with a sigh… "so it's not going to be possible then" Alice replied with a defeated tone… "oh no… I only said it will be tricky, I did not say it will be impossible" said Jericho to clarify… hearing that, Alice face got bright again as she was beaming blissfully… "let's head back to the castle, we will talk about it better there with Erica and sir William" ..… "father Neon, thank you for your assistance and guidance, I now see why the gods trust you so much… they asked me to tell you they are proud of your devotion and work in the church" said Jericho… "how wonderful… I am happy to be of use to them and will forever be of use" father Neon replied with a smile, Jericho smiled back at him… "okay Alice let's head back, we truly do have a lot of work ahead of us" said Jericho with a motivated tone… "right.." Alice replied.
