My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 586 Descent of a God

She has been researching demonic energy for the past three years to trace the realm of hell one only sees in books. As for building the machine for Azzy to travel to Angel's Heaven or Silver City, it is still in progress. It's not that easy to build such a thing even with a super android like Aria as an assistant.

On the advice of the Reaper, he handed the card to her and asked her to analyze it without exactly informing her about what it is. After she scanned it and gave it back to him, he then exited the control room and poured his soul energy into the card.

The 10-star card lit up and the live image of a pocket watch started spinning around itself rapidly before the card emitted specks of light and envelop Azzy.

Azzy's surroundings changed to that of a cavern filled with the echoes of reciting of ancient Orlon language. Meanwhile, the card was still in his left hand's grip.

"Hmm… that sounds like a ritual is going on," thought Azzy and activated his aura sensing to track their location.

A group of nine entered his vision. He saw eight of them standing in different positions with the remaining one standing in the center.

"Hmm, judging by the aura, this man is Assad's leader but he wasn't the same as earlier. That means there is a hope of saving him and the souls too. Yeah, let's act right away." Azzy didn't bother to hide his presence and instead, released his aura in order to attract the attention.

However, Azzy knew the impact his aura will be on the individuals. Since he has to rescue a fellow, he cannot harm him too. Hence, he made sure to control his aura to the minimum while still keeping his realm to an 8-star rank.

Just as he expected, his 8-star realm did manage to disturb the ritual. Meanwhile, he placed the card back into his pocket and slowly started walking in the direction of the enemies without any hurry.

Soon, he was confronted by a couple of guards who also sensed his presence earlier. Both of them are wearing military-style armor protection and have rifles in their arms. Of course, these weren't ordinary rifles. They looked so advanced that it made Azzy remember the Champions League, where the students from Central Academy used them.

"Stop, right there. State your identity," said one of the guards; his voice shivering from how he could die at any moment. After all, he is also a human and fears a stronger opponent that he cannot defeat.

Just as he feared, the moment he opened his mouth, Azzy charged forward, raising his hand. Within a fraction of a second, both of them were seen crash onto the walls and fell on the other side. Azzy continued to walk.

No one was able to stop his movements for a second. Everyone who entered his path was blasted with a lightning punch and got knocked out without knowing what struck them. Some of the elders of the organization were also present in those knocked-out opponents.

  By the time Azzy reached the place, there were only about five left, each one looking at him warily with their Arcana spirits out. Even his target has the same gaze.

"Who are you?" asked the Assad's leader.

Azzy didn't give him a response and instead placed his focus on the remaining four who were in the legendary realm just like their leader.

Azzy raised his hand and stretched toward them, activating his prized soul skill.

Suspecting his action as an attack, the four elders acted without any hesitation. The three of the four Arcana spirits in the form of a Black Bear, Armored Ape, and Lightning Rodent rushed toward their only enemy to kill him.

However, before they reached him, Azzy uttered the words as he unsealed that last seal on his soul orb at the same time, "Soul skill: Soul absorption."

In an instant, some mysterious force erupted from Azzy, absorbing all the soul energy from everyone present around him before mercilessly shattering their soul orbs. Even Aaron's father wasn't excluded as Azzy already informed the former that his father will be returning as a mortal man after averting the crisis.

*Thud* Thud* Thud* Thud* Thud*

As a result, all of them helplessly collapsed on the ground one after another before immediately losing consciousness.

Azzy then simply walked toward his target and picked up the storage card that fell onto the ground. He immediately checked the contents and the Reaper confirmed that the white orb that looked like a dumpling is the treasure that imprisoned millions of souls.

Without any soul power, the connection of the storage card was severed with its master, hence, becoming easier for Azzy to take it out and keep it in his own storage card before grabbing the target and using the 10-star card.

No twists, no challenging opponents, no interference from any gods of that destroyed timeline, and no complicated situations occurred either. The entire mission went so smoothly that even Azzy couldn't help but wonder for a moment whether someone is pulling the strings behind him and helping him out.

Upon returning to his timeline, Azzy contacted Aaron and returned his father to him. 

After confirming that everything is alright, Aaron thanked Azzy and left with his adopted father, although not before he promised on reporting to him at WAMO's HQ within three days of time.

Azzy, who was quite satisfied with the outcome, inwardly smiled and thanked the Reaper. In response, the Reaper reminded him about the orb he looted in the destroyed timeline.

Azzy then took it out from his storage card and proceeded with releasing the souls trapped inside. The original souls were swallowed by the Chaos Lord. Hence, Azzy expected this would balance it out.

Little did he expect in the next second, the surroundings would suddenly change.

"Hmm?" He looked around. The clouds suddenly covered the skies. Rumblings of thunder were heard all over the world. Earthquakes and Tsunamis suddenly occurred at several places at the same time, though of low magnitude.

As the entire world came to a still because of a mysterious phenomenon, the Reaper's words echoed in Azzy's head. "A powerful force is descending, Azrael. Judging by the timing, it is likely because of you. No matter what happens, you shall not reveal the cosmic jewels. Just let me handle the situation for now."

The 17-year-old never thought that 100 million is a huge number. Releasing at once would certainly bring attention to him. That small thing escaped from his calculations.

And that is what happened when the sealing orb was destroyed and enormous souls were released.

To capture them, the death reapers from all over the world rushed toward the wilderness in the south to capture all the souls and send them to the spirit realm.

And it is a known fact that all death reapers are just an extension of the Death God.

Azzy never expected that a divine being would suddenly descend onto the planet the moment he released the souls.

As Azzy was digesting the warnings of the Reaper, a beam of light descended from the sky and fell right in front of Azzy, just a few meters.

It only lasted a couple of seconds and disappeared quickly, leaving behind a handsome young man with pure white wings. His wings, despite being divine, however, are different from a typical angel. They were shaped more like a butterfly.

He was emitting an aura that reminded Azzy of the Mother Goddess Gaia. In his presence, Azzy felt very peaceful in his mind.

Now, the only thing Azzy could think of is trying to guess his identity.

"Butterfly god? Was there someone like that? No, it cannot be. Perhaps, he is an angel? Quite possible." He thought for a bit before asking the Reaper, "Who is it, Chronos?"

Before the Reaper gets to answer, the young-looking man opened his mouth while suddenly furrowing his brows, "Azrael Orkney Garcia?  You are still alive? Or did you misuse your power of time and traveled to this timeline?"

The angel-like being didn't appear to be pleased for some reason.
