Chapter 398: Goodbyes
Ved flew closer," Tracy, tell me I’m mistaken, tell me this is a mistake." His voice came out soft and calm.
Naledi was able to sense the pain beneath the calm. She flew next to his face then frowned.
Before anybody could say anything, blue strings lashed out of her into the two giant bodies.
Ved was confused for a moment then it dawned in him, that fact that she did this meant she could sense their souls.
Ved assistant, his image appeared behind him, both the dark roots and the golden branches with their green leaves spread out.
They grabbed into the two bodies we well, the branches gave life and the branches held back death.
Working together, the vitality of the two bodies returned but they reached a limit, no matter how much he tried.
" Roaaaaar." He roared to the heavens and poured out as much life laws as he could buy without an actual ability to control life laws, he was just brute forcing things.
A massive amount of life laws surrounded the two bodies forming a giant light of green, the trees and grass around them grew taller and stronger.
Inside their bodies, two giant souls that had cracks over them were falling into what looked like an abyss.
Two strings latched into them and pulled them back up. The strings strained as if they would break at any moment.
Before they could though, black roots appeared, they did not touch the two souls as they would be foolish.
Being touched by the laws of death meant certain death in their current states, the roots latched into the abyss instead.
Ved immediately gained information about what this spiralling abyss thing was, it was a gate to the underworld.
Normally, the celestial realm and hell would take souls, they would intercept their path to the underworld.
Demons and angels fed on karma, demons for negative Karna and angels for positive karma.
However for some reason, that did not happen, Ved didn’t know why but that was good for him.
If those two realms had intervened, he would have no hope of retrieving their souls and at the same time it was bad for him.
The underworld or the realm of shadow dunes was the final destination, with enough power.
It was possible to retrieve souls from either the celestial realm or hell but doing so in the shadow dunes was significantly harder.
As the roots touched the abyss spiral leading to the shadow dunes, he felt it tug his own soul.
His law of death poured out and tried to force the abyss spiral close but it was harder than expected.
It resisted his roots, ’ My law comprehension is not enough, I can’t close it.’ he gritted his teeth creating sparks.
At the same time, life laws poured into the two souls healing them and helping the soul strings pull them much easier.
Ved grew hopeful, ’ It’s working it’s working, just a little bit more.’ his golden eyes turned red.
Blood poured out his nose, his own laws ravaged inside him like wild beasts unleashed.
He didn’t dare reduce his grip on either the spiral or the two souls, he wasn’t the only one struggling.
Naledi had already taken her soul spirit form and her marionette ability was working on overdrive.
Both of them did their best and slowly they started pulling the two souls back from the abyss or so he thought.
Then he looked at Naledi and her expression was grim, he took noticed a problem, he had been too excited by the returning vitality that he didn’t pay attention.
Novak was not healing, his massive shell was still cracked, his laws had longed disappeared.
Ved didn’t want to accept this but the old man, he was gone and unless Ved becomes a God.
He can’t bring back the dead, not with his current strength. Traxy whose hope was returning slumped back to the ground.
Massive tears fell off her eyes forming giant pools of salt water on the ground. " Father." She whispered.
Nimue started healing, Ved looked at Novak and felt indignation, ’ No, I refuse, I don’t accept this.’
He poured more life laws and before he realised it he was pouring out his creation laws.
For the first time he used his creation laws and they did wonders. The laws responded to his desires.
Novak’s soul started healing, Bed felt joy, he felt hopeful again. The soul healed completely.
Just as he was about to celebrate he noticed the body didn’t heal at all. ’ No no no, what’s wrong, I’ve healed the soul so what’s wrong?’
He couldn’t figure it out, he did everything and the soul fully regenerated so what was happening.
" Ved, he’s gone, you can’t bring him back, at least not your current self." Manas’s words shattered his hope.
" Don’t despair, there’s still hope. Normally the shadow dunes cleans the soul of all karma and power.
Before sending them into the clear streams to have their memories washed off before going their reincarnation.
However this meant those who had a lot of power can stay there for much longer, while he isn’t strong enough, you’ve given him a sort of protection.
I suggest you also touch him with your death laws, preferably give him a drop of your essence blood.
Tell him to give it to others you wish to retrieve on a later date." She told him and he listened.
’ What’s important about my blood?’ he asked.
" It doesn’t matter, just do it, you don’t have much time." He dropped his essence blood to the soul.
The giant turtle soul opened its mouth devoured the essence blood. ’ Thanks brat, I’ll share thid with the others, including those from that little girl’s side.’
Novak suddenly spoke to him, Ved felt a tear drop from his eyes. ’ Don’t cry boy, men don’t cry.’
’ That’s a very toxic thing to say.’ Ved responded while trying to wipe the tears from his eyes.
’ Hahaha, I suppose you’re right, then forget that this old man said, cry as you will my boy and tell your mother and sister I love them, very much.’
Ved nodded, ’ I will.’ Ved saw the soul smiling as if satisfied. Ved realised Novak had accepted his death.
’ Take care of them boy, they’re not as strong as you are.’ he nodded to everything he was saying.
Novak’s voice was getting lower and lower, he was falling deeper into the abyss and Naledi was having a hard time holding on.
’ Don’t forget to take care of yourself as well, remember your safety matters more than anything.
Don’t start trouble.’ Novak spoke more than he usually did and it appeared he still had a lot to say.
But before he could, his soul disappeared into the abyss and the spiral immediately closed.
’ I love you too dad.’ Ved thought to himself.
