There was still no news of Hana after an entire week. Ley and co never left the island since then. Not even the mortals were allowed to step foot outside the island due to Ley's extreme cautiousness. Until they heard from the Goddess who was not inhabiting Hana's body, he deemed it unsafe for them to join the bigger fights outside.
To pass the time, Ley talked to the old man and as the Goddess had guessed, the matter he raised was about their severely lacking combat strength. He did not open up regarding his conjecture about why Anitos went after another Anitos. However, there was no need for Fernando to hear that in order to feel the urgency of their situation.
"The world of the Anitos is really not as peaceful as regular humans expect." The old man had said it already before, but he repeated these same words afternoon of Ley's return from the village. This was after he created the roads that aimed to improve the lives of the locals when it come

..."Thanks for the great work." Ley said with a nod full of approval to the old man.Earlier, he vanished to circle the island, confirming if those giant sea creatures controlled by Fernando surrounded and secured all sides.When he returned, in actuality, his gaze towards this person who just became his adoptive grandfather was mixed with apologies. He knew that in order to accomplish this feat, Fernando relinquished control of several other animals, which meant that more than half of the effort spent trying to build a reliable information network in the capital had gone to waste. The foundation of the information system was hurt, so was his source of faith energy since those countless tiny birds and land animals would naturally no longer have a strong belief in him. The freedom granted to these animals would gradually make them stray far away or forget about Fernando.As for the large creatures that replaced them... Ley could see thro

Ley uttered some words addressed to the Goddess of the Sun and Dawn. However, he knew not to expect that he would be heard soon. The status of the Goddess was just too high and unimaginable for small fries like him. It was said that in the Skyworld, the number of inhabitants were a hundred times more than the current population of the Mortal Realm. As a major deity, there bound to be many believers calling out the Goddess' name every second. Meanwhile, he was but an Anito who was not truly a believer of Hanan.In actuality, the prayer, like to anybody who did this when faced with problems and dilemmas, was just a way to get some inner peace.On that day, Ley did not get a wink of sleep, nor did he try getting some. An Anito, if not without divine energy in them, could stay up for an entire month if they wanted to. This was why, he was not bothered, and when morning came, without people observing him carefully, they would not even notice the stress that coul

...While Ley was hesitant to voice out his fears about the nefarious way an Anito could speed up their ascension or increase of strength, the old man left to guard the island also had his own misgivings that he had been keeping to himself, worries that were eating away at his heart. Ever since Fernando learned that powerful deities from the Skyworld could descend to Earth, he started having doubts about whether all Skyworld gods could do the same...In the near future, would they awake to find themselves taken over by some random Skyworld gods too? When Hana's body was suddenly taken over by the Goddess of the Sun and Dawn, what process did they go through? Did Hana give her permission or was at least informed beforehand?The unknown was always the most evoking of fear.However, what he did not know was that he was only thinking too much about it. A being from the Skyworld could not easily descend and the only person they could take ove

Ever since Fernando learned that powerful deities from the Skyworld could descend to Earth, he started having doubts about his current race.What if all along, Skyworld gods could do what the Goddess had done to Hana's body?In the near future, would they just suddenly awake to find themselves taken over by some random Skyworld gods too?

...It had taken Ley quite the mental fortitude to stay calm and collected as he boarded a taxi from the seaport of Manila to the bungalow. Several hours already passed since he left the island. The lights all around the city were already flashing to give illumination to every person still not yet home. Throughout the more than an hour drive, Ley remained seated on the backseat with his eyes closed, listening to the prayers and grumblings of people calling out his name. At the same time, he was very alert to any suspicious event in his surroundings. When he was only a kilometer away from the bungalow, he opened his eyes. His face and gaze remained placid.As he drew nearer to the place, he began to feel the unusual aura that was emanating from the house.'The Goddess visited this residence first?' he guessed....A/N: author is still ill, though I'm already feeling a bit better.

...'Hana's aura is gentle and warm. Now, although this aura is still warm, it could not be denied that it is also extremely domineering, like a sun that refuses any fleeting cluster of clouds to eclipse it.'"Where to drop you off here?" asked the driver.Ley was knocked out of his stupor by the taciturn voice.Turning his head to the middle-aged man looking at him through the mirror, he thought for a moment before he said, "It's okay. Here is fine."He pointed at the waiting shed right next to the gate. There stood a guard in charge of the security of the village, looking at him as he climbed out of the backseat of the cab.After helping the driver closed the car door, he nodded at the guard, showing no credentials since his face was already familiar to the other. It was just like after having lived in the community for several months, the guard's facial features had also become familiar to him.As expected,

Most of the time, people were careful about the wrong things while outside, watching out for road signs and slopes, checking for dangerous turns or any annoying roadblocks. Yet at times, they tend to be neglectful of the expressions of those they might come across.People tend to ignore the fact that road accidents were not always about cars colliding against one another or bumping into a tree. It was also not only about a ghost popping out of nowhere. Sometimes, it was simply the types of people one met in the streets. T

The Ascension Chapter 153: Actual Cause
"Once upon a time, it was known that the God of Fire, who was one of the oldest Anitos in the Skyworld, hated the Devils so much because these creatures' ruler, and if one might say, the greatest ruler in history, had killed his beloved wife, a demi-god who used to hold the Law of Harvest."A voice echoed in a small dark room that was being occupied by two people. Two men. One wearing a red cloak that appeared to be burning and flowing at the same time, like lava. The other was wearing a pure white knight garment that seemed to be from the medieval times. The face of the former was hidden by his cloak plus he was bowing a little so his features were not visible. As for the other, the knight appeared to be not afraid to be recognize hence he did not even wear a mask to this meeting. He had blonde hair and brown eyes, and fairly handsome. However, that face of his was not what people who knew a little about history would notice, but the insignia on his breastplate, a symb
The Ascension Chapter 152: A Visiting Knight
The Goddess actually had no use for the weak anito called Ley. Yet at the same time, she was not one to back out from her words. Although she sometimes do not play by Heaven's rule, she was one to demand equivalent exchange when needed. In other words, she was one who always upheld fairness.Her vow from almost a year ago was only to protect and provide guidance for Ley, the unknowing human whose fate had been severed completely from the Underworld due to her bet with Mayari. The young human forever lost the chance to reincarnate so as compensation, she used one of her quotas in ascending a being to godhood as compensation. She did the same to the old man who had been dragged to the mess. Of course, another questionable karma that she gained for doing these was causing Ley and Fernando to be rejected by the natural Laws since they did not become anitos through their own efforts. As another compensation, She decided to leave one of her mortal vessels there to act as thei
The Ascension Chapter 151: Condition
"Welcome back, Your Highness." Loud and clear, the voices of everyone else in the place echoed at the same time."We're most gladdened to be in Your Highness' presence again." They chorused.Ley slowly lifted his gaze up and saw that the person they greeted matched the appearance that was in his memories.A body of a girl in her late teens. Black hair that reached past her waist. Lean figure that was almost as skinny as some models in regular fashion shows. A face that was certainly above average, but not that excessive as to make one feel that she was the most beautiful in the world.Hana's figure appeared right above the statue depicting the Goddess of the Sun, a statue of a beautiful woman in a flowing dress crowned with a tiara shaped like the rays of the sun. The statue was massive and was in a giving pose, with her hands stretched outwards like it was offering the sun to the world. Hana appeared in those stretched out palms.
The Ascension Chapter 150: The Request
Time passed. In the mortal realm, a week had already gone by.Ley and Baram who had come to the western side of the globe to meet the Goddess was met with utmost care in their reception there. Ley had a hunch that the Goddess predicted that he would come here, either to give thanks or ask for Fernando's location so She left a message to the ones in the Blood Lake Castle to welcome them in.However, like Fernando who was made to wait for the Underworld god, they too, were made to wait for the return of the Goddess as she had long left before they arrived and the servants left there had no idea when she would drop by. These all brought endless frustrations to Ley. Yet he was not one with a close mind. He knew that the affairs of somebody high up like Hanan was not something that normal deities like him could imagine. Not to mention that Baram and the others in the castle already explained how serious of a matter an attempted Devil Sacrifice was.
The Ascension Chapter 149: Their First Meeting
"Home, huh?" The werehorse anito servicing under the Chief Deity of the Underworld, Sitan, was a bit absentminded as he recalled the conversation he just had with the human anito brought to the palace by his god. A few hours already passed since then. The werehorse anito had also just finished his duties and made sure that the entire palace was spotlessly clean and organize.The person he just spoke to was just a weak old human who possessed the Gift to command animals which was not really impressive as there were a few already who had the same ability, not to mention, those who hailed from the animal species had better control of those they could command.Nothing was interesting about the old human anito. Although he was silent about it, as he was one who was loyal to the Chief Deity and was extremely conscious not to question the deity's words, in his heart, he was actually wondering why His Highness became interested in Fernando to the point that he personally
The Ascension Chapter 148: Longing For Home
While the two immediately set off for another country, they had no idea that the very reason that they were doing so was not really in danger, unlike what they had been assuming all this time.Fernando was just really teleported to another place so that a proper conversation could take place between them without interruption. He was in good condition and was even invited to the best and grandest place in the Underworld, the Palace of Soul owned by none other than His Highness Sitan himself.As for the reason why? Who knows.The old man did not ask. After discovering the identity of the other, he became very silent, and careful with his words. Or rather, he would not dare ask the man his real purpose for doing this since like Ley to the presence of the angel, Fernando immediately became cautious and conscious of his own status as he had learned that the person was not merely a strong anito, but an actual Underworld god.'What are th
The Ascension Chapter 147: The Desire For Freedom
No fight actually took place. That was what Ley had heard from the Tree Deity. However, it was already said earlier. The person could forcefully teleport somebody over to another dimension or realm without leaving a trace that even he, Ley, the Road Deity, could peer into. This revealed that the abductor was of higher power level than him. Baram too said that he did not really dare to get close to the place as the man's aura was simply really intimidating. Oh, not really intimidating. But aloof, yet majestic. It reminded him of the lions that sometimes crossed his territory. The loftiness that was exuded by the man was intense, it could make others subconsciously bow to him.'What kind of being is that?'Ley could not help but wonder this after hearing all the flashy descriptions.His thoughts, that time, were very obvious.But to be fair, Baram himself could not believe that he felt like that towards a fellow Anito.After t
The Ascension Chapter 146: When It Is Broken
What was Sam looking for? Why was he sporting such a stressed expression?Ley stood a few meters behind Sam and noticed that the person's mouth was moving, yet no sound was reverberating in the place.Tilting his head sideward, Ley finally called him out, "Sam?"The butler was visibly startled, which showed on his face when he turned around and met Ley's gaze. "Young Master!" He shouted.However, no sound reached Ley's ears.It turned out that while Sam could hear Ley's footsteps and voice, the latter could not. Confusion flickered in Ley's eyes. This was a fact he realized after watching the movements of the butler's lips, which obviously mouthed his usual honorifics of him.Then when Sam dashed towards him, that was when he noticed that there was something different with the place around the butler. The butler managed to pass through him. Also, although subtle and almost unnoticeable, the area looked like a di
The Ascension Chapter 145: No Path
As a butler, Sam' service to House Hevel was extremely short and not worthy of a mention. Not even a year. However, since birth, he had been an extremely devout of the Three Goddesses, patrons of Island Ophir. Born to a fairly big clan in the village, one that had a history of producing elders and chiefs, he was one of the lucky ones given the qualifications to enter the palace at the summit of the mountain. But it took him several years to be promoted from a mere servant boy to an actual authority amongst servants, which he did through wits and perseverance, and he was very proud of what he had achieved.His clan's rule, or more like, motto was this, 'Always, for the Three Celestial Goddesses'.No matter how empty and cheerless the palace was, it would always be his joy to tend to it as a form of obeisance to the beloved Goddesses.What were his thoughts when he was suddenly assigned to serve three Anitos that had seemingly popped out of nowhere?W
