My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 630: The Crypt of the Forgotten King (part-8)



Mors didn't understand what connection these two had, but since Jupiter wasn't giving any sort of further explanation, he said, "This boy is Chronos' successor and the inheritor of the white sands of time. The best vessel we can hope to acquire for My King."

"Human?" Jupiter was the one whose eyes widened in surprise this time. In an instant, something clicked in his mind. "I see, it is a Reincarnation." With realization dawned upon his face, he further asked, "Did you say that he is my next vessel? You have possessed him and yet recommending him to me?"

Mors didn't understand it at first, "Yes? If My King acquires the power of the sands of the white, Zeus will no longer be your opponent."

Jupiter silently stared into Azzy's eyes for a while and eventually said, "Fine, I understand that you haven't understood everything. Get out of that body and make sure not to connect with his soul."

"Huh, soul?" Mors got curious and went deep into Azzy's soul orb, trying to see what Jupiter was trying to say, but the moment he did it, intense death energy erupted from his soul and started sucking him, like a black hole.

"Wha… what's going on? This… is… the…" Mors' essence was completely sucked by Azzy's soul, by the time he understood why His King was cautious.

But, it was too late.

Mors disappeared just like that, and Azzy's consciousness as well as his powers returned immediately, making Jupiter slap his forehead and shake his head while letting out a sigh and looking down, "How could he be so foolish despite possessing the essence of Death?" After a brief pause, he shrugged his shoulders calmly, "Well, it doesn't matter.

He can always be brought back, as long as I acquire my throne."

As soon as his consciousness returned, Azzy, who was already aware of what was going on outside, leaped back and landed beside Leah as she got up to her feet and grabbed her stomach.

"You alright?" He asked in a bit of a worried tone.

Making an expression that seemed like she was still in pain, she nodded in silence. Louis also got up and conjured a portal to get to his wife and stood beside her in wariness.

As the remaining two also joined Louis, Jupiter finally paid attention to the rest of the mortals and said, "I can sense the essence of Mars in you, child." He shifted his gaze from Louis to Fey, "And it looks like my daughter passed her will to you." He then turned his head and looked at Leah, "As for you, you have the essence of my brothers.

I never expected there exists a human both of them acknowledged and gave away their essence and passed on their will."

As everyone else looked at each other, realizing a similar thing happened to each other, the clueless Azzy couldn't help but grab Leah's arm and talk to her through their telepathic connection.

Meanwhile, Jupiter continued to address them, but, this time, his voice raised high and mighty, "Mortals who inherited my brethren's essence as well as their will, I command you to relinquish the worldly desires and join me in taking back what's mine from those Olympians. I shall help you in achieving your true potential, able to stand against the divine beings born from the cosmos."

Everyone stayed silent and gazed at Azzy, who understood everything and seemed to be in deep thoughts from the outside but in reality, he was conversing with the Reaper.

Jupiter saw that and he disliked it. With a deep frown on his face, he raised his hand, "Now, kneel before your King."

Enormous pressure once again descended onto the surroundings and everyone fell to their knees without being able to resist it. However, this time, Azzy stood straight. He was unaffected.

"Azrael, you wish to challenge me?" Jupiter's voice boomed, filling the room, demanding an answer.

Azzy came out of his discussion and finally looked at the Deity in the body of a mortal king, but of true demigod rank, "I kneel to no one, except for my parents, my master, my ancestors, and my benefactors." His gaze was calm when he stared directly into the eyes of Jupiter. He went on supporting Leah, who was struggling to get up with the help of Excalibur.

"Preposterous," Jupiter's voice thundered across the room, the gold coins and the other treasures vibrated for a moment. Azzy's friends shivered uncontrollably.

Azzy responded by summoning his Death scythe and the hourglass, "Consider this as the final warning. We forget about your subordinates trying to harm my friends as long as you peacefully leave here. Or else…"

"Vajra, Ruby, Jinn, come out."

One after another, three more Arcana spirits made their appearance behind Azzy, stupefying even his new friends. Jupiter looked stunned.

Leah cast a glance at all the Arcana spirits and nodded to herself, "Wake up, Queen Izarok." She too summoned her second Arcana spirit.

The water body that looked like a clone of Leah appeared. But, she was different this time. Instead of simply being made of water, Izarok was carrying the trident that was held by Neptune earlier.

Followed by her, the other two also brought out their Arcana spirits to fight against Jupiter and Faunus.

"Your Majesty, give me the orders. I'll wipe out these mortals," said Faunus, once the god of nature, forest, fields, and fertility.

Jupiter shocked the others by shouting, "Vajra, what are you doing there? Come back to your master." He looked agitated at one glance.

"Huh?" Even Azzy couldn't help but be taken aback, "Chronos, I thought Vajra was the weapon of Zeus."

The Reaper's words echoed in his head, "Vajra was neither a weapon of Zeus nor Jupiter. It was originally a weapon belonging to a divine being of another universe and ended up in the hands of Jupiter as a gift. After the fall of Jupiter, Zeus snatched it away from him and fed it his own essence, the primordial thunder, transforming its shape into an orb.

As a result, Vajra served Zeus for a long time, until it was corrupted by the Protos energy."

"I see…" Azzy understood why the King of Heavens didn't hesitate to abandon him and went as far as trying to destroy the weapon despite its outstanding abilities, when it corrupted his maternal ancestor, Aelius Crescent, eight thousand years ago.

As he gazed at the wolf that was standing beside him, the latter raised its head to look at its former master and let out a powerful bark in response to his call.

Jupiter's face hardened and different colors of thunderbolts erupted from his body and started dancing around him, destroying the ceiling above them into specks of dust and melting down the gold.

"You dared to snatch my loyal slave?" Jupiter displayed his anger at Azzy. "We might have fought together on one side, but you have crossed the line. The punishment is only death. Owing to your past life's connection with me, I shall give you an opportunity to have a warrior's death. Follow me."

He flew through the giant hole made by his lightning bolts.

Confused Azzy motivated by the Reaper, "Go on and fight him. His essence was corrupted by the body of the mortal he merged with. In such a state, he is the same as a demon right now. If you don't end him, he will end this world."

"Understood," Azzy sorted out his thoughts and flew toward the hole in the ceiling, following Jupiter.

"Azrael," Leah called him but as Azzy disappeared from her sight without any response, she tightened her fist and also followed him.

Meanwhile, Louis created a portal to take the rest of them out of the dungeon, now that the dungeon laws disappeared.
