My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy-Chapter 402: The celestial being!
"Are you sure about this?" Humfree asked as he and Jake were seen in an undisclosed location. A small cave out front with trees and leaves moving as if they were alive.
Twisting and turning like snakes, the ground shook every once in a while. Behind the cave, some mountains lay and these mountains had aerial beasts roaming around it.
And despite the fact that the two humans had stepped foot here, the beasts didn't seem to be attacking or even paying any attention to them as they focused solely on circulating around the mountains.
"Yeah, I'm very sure. I have so many unanswered questions and the god has to answer them. Also, I have been wanting to do this for long but different things always pops up that distracts me. But now," Jake said, his hands tightly clenched as he stared at the cave a few metres away from him.
"Now, is the right time for me to get my answers."
Humfree just sighed and began walking forward. "Come on, you won't get your answers while standing there."
And with that, two two men walked towards the cave that had a behemoth stone blocking the entrance. But as they stood there, the stone moved away from the entrance letting them both in.
Immediately Jake stepped through, a chill crawled around his skin as he looked at the cave in front of him.
The cave was actually wide and big enough to fit about a hundred people in it. Several benches scattered around the room all curved like a letter U towards the front.
In front of the benches, a glowing white crystal was seen floating. It's glow so radiant that it would make most people close their eyes.
But Grey's gaze was fixed on it. His hands tightly clenched as he grinded his teeth back and forth.
"Come on." Humfree said as he stepped forward with Jake following behind him.
In a few seconds, they stood mere inches away from the crystal with Humfree bowing down towards it while Jake stood there rooted.
His gaze still on the crystal as he refused to bow.
"Jake, bow." Humfree whispered but Jake stood rooted in his spot not even bulging an inch.
"Jake Lucas!" The crystal spoke directly into Jake and Humfree's mind.
The voice itself was somewhat soothing, tranquil, smooth and feminine like which was unlike the voice Humfree was used to.
"I can feel your pure anger. It moves around this whole cave like a thick cloud trying to suffocate the room." The crystal said again.
"If you know that I'm angry, you should know why I am angry." Jake said, his hands tightly clenched to the extent his knuckles turned white.
"I know, and I'm sorry."
"Sorry? You are sorry?" Jake barked loudly. Pure anger seething from him as his nails dug deep in his palm. "Vynn died, you could have prevented it. Cindy died, you could have prevented it.
My parents died, you could have prevented it. Humanity was on the brink of going extinct, so many people died and you could have prevented it but you chose not to. Why?!"
SILENCE!
"What? You are not going to answer me now? Don't you dare go quiet on me." Jake roared in anger.
"I'm not being quite. Just trying to view the possible way of explaining to you so you can understand." The crystal said with a sigh which made it feel almost human like.
"Explain to me however you see fit. I will understand." Jake said as he crossed his arms, his foot tapping against the ground rapidly.
"I lived with humans. Before they became this advanced, I was with them. Lived with them, ate with them, and acted human so I could understand them, their pains, happiness and sorrows. Why is that? Because I was supposed to be their protector! Their guardian!" The crystal said, its voice slightly somber.
"I did everything in my possible power to protect them from the threat I saw. Contrary to what you think, I'm not a war god. I don't have overwhelming powers to destroy galaxies.
But what I do have is vision. I could see the past, present and future and with that, I saw it. The threat of the werewolves. It was inevitable no matter how much I tried to steer the humans away from it. Nothing was possible."
"What? So you just gave up? Became a lump of crystal to be oozing out wisdom and knowledge? Bull shit!" Jake shouted in anger, his eyes glowing slightly blue.
"No! I wasn't always like this. I had features. A body, limbs, head, eyes, mouth and so on. But after my fight with him, I lost it all. There was nothing I could do and so, I tried my best to seal him and in the process, I got reduced to this."
"Him? Who's the him?" Jake asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I wish I can answer that but currently, you won't be able to. Just know that I'm not the only god there is. There are as many gods as they are creatures and humans. And point of correction, we aren't gods. We are called celestials."
"I don't freaking care! Call yourselves gods, demons, celestials or whatever! I don't give a fuck! All I want to know is how can I stop this damned war? How can the humans win this war?" Jake asked when another round of silence occured again.
"Over the years, I have searched the fifteen million possibilities of this war to see if the humans could win. But there was none, out of the fifteen million possibilities, the humans lost terribly especially since he later got involved."
"Wait! So you mean we are going to lose?" Humfree asked in shock as he shot up from his kneeling position.

"Yes! The humans are going to lose this war… at least, in the fifteen million possible futures I saw. But over the years, when I became this… a lump of crystal, I saw another possible future. Just one that got added to the fifteen million possible futures.
In that possibility, the humans won and that was because of you. Jake Lucas!"
"Wait a freaking moment! What the hell do you mean? Out of fifteen million possible outcomes, we lost all of them and only won one? And that was because of me? I…I don't get it." Jake said, his hands on his silky black hair.
"Can you kindly enlighten us? I'm tremendously confused right now." Humfree said.
"Jake, you are going to be the savior of the world because of what you have…tha…the…" the crystal was now heard stuttering. "Da… damn it! He…he…he is going to rise now!"
"Wait, rise? Who's rising?!" Jake asked in shock.
"Death!" The crystal said, the whole cave trembling.
