"Raziel 'The Immortal'." The copy's words echoed through the office as Reign immediately thought back on the white-haired man he had seen in his vision.
Suddenly, it wasn't just that one vision. Visions that he had had before all started making sense to Reign as he was finally able to see the faces of the many Nephilims whose lives he had seen through the visions.
The angry soldier that had cursed the empires for the war had managed to awaken.
The proud Nephilim that had awakened during a war.
The many more that awakened or had lost their minds during battle.
Reign was suddenly able to see just what they looked like.
Were they still alive?
Did they all die in the past?
Reign had many questions in his head, but the one thing that was above all was the fact that he realized that many of the visions he had were actually of Raziel and his life.
Still, most of the visions were gone.
Reign knew that he had many more visions of Raziel's life, but after he had awakened, contrary to the visions of the other Nephilims, most of those he had of Raziel was simply forgotten by him, and he could not remember them, no matter how hard he tried.
But he was certain of one thing.
The Earth he had seen back then, was from Raziel's eyes.
"Why, why did they not speak because of Raziel?" Reign asked the copy who chuckled.
"You might be the only person alive that dares use the ancestor's name like that."
"As for the reason, it's simple."
"When the Nephilims first made their mark on the universe, some organizations tried to take over those that were going through the awakening, just like you did before."
"Enraged by their actions, Raziel destroyed the organizations, even those that had gods that were ranked highly in the universe were not spared, all were wiped out."
"He then made a rule, one that was actually formed into a law."
"You might not realize this, but there are laws in the universe, and by law, I mean a law just like the law of physics is."
"If one tries to go against it, they will find themselves in a very troublesome spot."
"The law said that until a Nephilim awakens, no matter what happens, nobody is to tell them what they are."
"Those that break that will be immediately placed in the book of death that the Immortal army has, and those whose names are found in the book will be hunted down by the army until they are caught and executed."
"Jack, Eldar, Drayce, all three knew of your identity, but none were able to say anything to you, otherwise they would be dead."
"I see." Reign said calmly as his thoughts were still preoccupied with what he had previously learned.
He didn't know just how long ago the vision was from, but he was certain of one thing.
Many years ago, god knows just how long ago, the leader of the Nephilim, the one that the copy called the oldest and most powerful being in the universe came from Earth.
Not only that, but Earth was once a very different planet from the one it is now. It was larger and the buildings he had seen made him certain that civilization existed, and not only did it exist, but it was many times more powerful than now.
Mana was also present as he was able to see people using magic everywhere.
But how was that possible?
What happened for the Earth to actually become smaller and for mana to disappear?
Reign had no idea, but he knew that the only way he could learn the truth was to ask Raziel.
But how does one simply ask a person that stands atop the universe something like that?
How was he supposed to even meet Raziel?
Reign didn't know, perhaps the only way for him to actually learn of all of that was to become stronger.
Rise higher than others, reach godhood, and then, only then, will he be able to learn the truth.
Reign wasn't sure if he even wanted to know the truth.
He remembered the scene of the man, who he now knew was Raziel, standing in the void while thousands of powerful beings stood in front of him, and enormous spaceships filled the void around them.
Just what happened in the past to actually make him fight such terrifying creatures back then?
What happened to make Earth what it was right now?
Reign had no answer to those questions, but they were stuck right at the top of his mind and he couldn't get his mind off of thinking about them.
"I should get back, I don't want to make the others wait for too long." Reign suddenly said as the copy smiled at him.
"No need, time flows differently in here, even though it has been a couple of minutes here, merely a couple of seconds passed outside, even if you were to spend hours here, only a bit would have passed outside."
"But still, you should go, I'm afraid that I can't tell you more about yourself or about me, that will be left to Eldar and the others."
Reign nodded at the copy before closing his eyes.
He imagined himself going back to his body, and in a couple of seconds, he opened his eyes and was met with a familiar sight.
He was back in the throne room.
The princess, the king, and Lios were down on the floor.
All three were dead.
The queen had taken back the powers she bestowed upon them, and the act had shattered their souls and killed them all.
Ding!
[ The player's new powers have been sealed. ]
[ The new abilities and power of the player are too powerful for the current body to hold. ]
[ The player will have limited access to his new abilities until he manages to Transcend. ]
Ding!
[ A transformation has been acquired. ]
[ Nephilim Transformation has been added to the status screen ]
[ Nephilim – the player can transform into his true form and gain an immense boost to his stats for a short period of time. The lightning ability will be boosted in this state, and the player will have access to all three new abilities at the same time. Thanks to the incredible amount of power the player gains through the transformation, he will only be able to use it for a couple of minutes and it will be unusable for at least 2 days after the player uses it, using it for a longer period of time will endanger the player and will increase the time needed before he is able to use it again. ]
Reign glanced at the notification, fully aware that the system had done this in order to protect him. His new powers were overwhelming, and even though he wasn't able to use them in combat before, just his mere presence was able to shake the queen who had previously dominated him in his own mana sea, that alone was enough to let him know just how powerful he was in such a state.
Reign concurred that he would be at the very least double as powerful when using his Nephilim form, and that was without taking into account that his lightning would be boosted and that he would have access to three new abilities as well.
All three abilities were rank SSS and were all much more powerful than his lightning, which meant that his overall fighting prowess would be increased by a staggering amount.
Reign got up and left the throne room in order to help Raigon and the others who were locked in battle against the avatars outside.
Even with the disappearance of the queen and the deaths of the king, Lios, and the princess, the battle outside raged on.
The enemy was unaware that their leaders were dead, but with the appearance of Reign, the battle was practically over. He and the others started destroying the avatars that were able to last for a full 6 minutes before the power of the mana cores was gone.
Licht, Raigon, and the others had made their way over to where the arrays were and stopped anyone from switching the monster cores in order to once again summon the avatars.
Those that were high up in the hierarchy and were given power by the queen all died together with the king and others after the queen had left the planet. Without their leaders, the enemy was completely defeated and none of them had any chance of defeating Reign and the others.
Still, some were certain that Reign had killed the king and the others and still fought in order to avenge them.
Reign knew full well that he wouldn't be able to change their mind, and that they wouldn't believe that the queen was an alien that had come to this planet a long time ago and only did things in order to have fun.
They wouldn't believe that he wasn't the one responsible for killing the king, but that it was the queen that had done so.
Since that was the case, Reign and the others either killed or captured those that were still fighting.
