Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 377 The protector

"You were safe and making progress on your own. You started getting stronger really quickly. So, there was no need to interfere. Eventually, the essence just started floating inside your body, waiting for you to become even stronger and fully accommodate it within you."

"However, when you came out of the secret realm, the bloodline sensed danger on your path again and tried to make you change your mind, to make you retreat to safety. But it failed this time because your emotions were too troubled."

"Maybe it was because you didn\'t want to leave your friends in danger. I\'m not sure, but you resisted the urge to retreat and kept fighting alongside your friends until the incident you had been dreading finally happened."

Kyle stared at Nesis. He knew the man was talking about the incident where the crystal ate a part of his soul. And he had already mentally marked that golden-eyed man as his biggest enemy. He would go out and hunt that man, even if he had to travel to another planet to find him.

"So, it will not interfere until I am in grave danger?"

Nesis nodded in agreement.

"It won\'t, after all, it is a part of you. Now that you know, I believe it won\'t go against your wishes. But if you are in a dangerous situation, it would try its best to inform you or maybe..."

He paused and didn\'t say it, but from the expression on the human\'s face, he knew the latter understood. That if he ever went through something that could potentially take his life, the bloodline would do everything it could to save its host.

Kyle let out a sigh and motioned for the man to continue. Nesis opened his mouth and started speaking again.

"I\'m not sure about the extent of a celestial\'s powers since I have never seen one myself, but I can tell you that you have only tapped into a fraction of the power within you."

"Maybe in the future, you would awaken more skills related to your bloodline. One of them might even be the ability to foresee the future, but I can\'t say for certain. You will have to wait a long time to figure it out on your own. However, with your fate blank, I can\'t guarantee that you will survive until then. The essence is doing its best to protect you, but who can stop death if it naturally comes knocking at your door?"

Kyle hummed, death. It\'s been around him for so long, but he\'s still alive. So, does he still need to worry about death? As long as he keeps chasing strength and keeps moving forward, he knows he can live for a long time. He smirks and looks at Nesis with a raised brow.

"You say you\'re not sure if I\'ll survive, but you have taken ten years of my lifespan so easily, haven\'t you? That means I have a very stubborn and strong life force. And not to mention the fact that now I have a body that won\'t age. Do you really think I\'ll die halfway just because my fate is blank?

"No, it\'s actually a good thing. Now I get to write my own fate."

Kyle jumped up and stretched his body with a faint chuckle.

Nesis stood up as well beside him, watching the peculiar human with an unknown expression.

The man couldn\'t figure out a lot of things since he was just a divine rank artifact that gained true consciousness by consuming many people\'s lifespans.

However, he knew one thing for sure, the essence within the human could manipulate nature to some extent. He just hoped that it would forget about his tiny, fleeting presence once he ran away to a faraway place.

Kyle blinked and gazed at Nesis.

"Now, tell me why I can\'t leave this place. My soul has recovered and gotten stronger, and I am not weak either, so why am I being forced to stay here?"

"I need to go out. I don\'t really care about others but I don\'t want anything to happen to my family. Not just my family, there are a lot of people important to me out there. They are all experiencing so much and I am just sitting here doing nothing."

"Ah... I believe it is time for me to become the protector of the planet for a while... right?"

Kyle\'s nose wrinkled a little at his own words. No matter what, he knew being a hero could never be his thing, but he didn\'t mind doing it for a little while.

Just until the real protectors, Alec, Carcel, Jian, and the others who had the tendency to help others, could stand up as the strongest on this planet. They would be the real leaders who could protect this place for a long time.

\'Then, I need to get my revenge on the man who placed the crystal in my heart. I must become stronger as well so I can fully control the bloodline within my body. Along the way, I will perform a few good deeds and eliminate the third shadow general and all the people associated with him.\'

Kyle doesn\'t know what\'s going on beyond this planet, but if he lets those people live, his family and the planet will always be in danger.

A familiar, beautiful face suddenly flashed in his mind. The last time he saw her, she was crying beside him.

\'Well, now I am safe and I know exactly what I need to do. So, I\'ll go see her. If she agrees, it wouldn\'t be a bad idea to have someone come along with me on my journey.\'

He looked at Nesis with a smile that didn\'t quite reach his eyes. He wanted to ask Nesis if the latter knew anything about the shadow general attacking the planet or Azazeal. But to his disappointment, Nesis shook his head. The man had only heard their names and didn\'t know who they were. Nesis had been focused on increasing his own strength, after all.

Kyle let out a sigh and grabbed Nesis\'s shoulder. The man had been quite useful.

"Just tell me why I am stuck here and how can I get out of this place. The sooner the better."
