Odyssey of the Blind God

Traveling through the Universe was not exactly difficult for someone like Nial, not anymore.

Because he was connected to Shadow, he could create his own darkness spatial portals and jump through space easily.

With Grasp of Eclipse, he could easily jump from one end of a stellar system to the other end. It wouldn't even drain too much of his dark energy, since it was just a drop in the ocean of his Sea of Darkness and Heart of Gluttony.

The Devils residing in his Heart of Gluttony had it quite comfortable. They assimilated their newfound strength with the power they had already possessed before they were unsealed. Some things had changed a little compared to before, but everyone could tell that Nial was their new master.

If he wasn't their master, it wouldn't have been possible to enter his Cursed Divinity. In fact, the Cursed Divinity of Nial was much bigger than Damian's Divinity had ever been. While it was very crowded in Damian's Cursed Divinity, Nial's Heart of Gluttony had enough space left for millions of Devils to stay, move and do whatever they want to do.

However, it was not only Nial's ability to store the Devils inside the Heart of Gluttony, that gave the Devils the reaffirmation that Nial was their Master. The memories he shared from his past life, his plan, his encounter with Damian, how he changed over the course of a century, and his overall story was the decision reasoning for the Devils to obey Nial's commands and accept him as their master.

Nial was similar to their first master. His train of thought, behavior, and even actions was similar to Damian's train of thought, behavior, and actions.

There were only a few differences between them, but one of them was quite particular.

Nial was not alone.

Damian had always been alone, fighting for himself, to make sure that he would live a good life. Meanwhile, Nial might have lost his blood-related family shortly after he was born, his entire race had been annihilated, and he might have lost his eyes early on as well, but he gained much more in return.

He had a cute sister, the best father, good friends, Ryu, Shadow, and even the Oracle.

Nial may not be too sure about his relationship with the Oracle, but he knew that he didn't hate her. In fact, she was a likable person, beautiful and she was trying her utmost to give him a helping hand.

Without the Oracle, he would have never been able to reach the Divine God of Truth's domain that quickly.

The Domain of the Divine God of Truth was a humongous palace inside a semi-transparent sphere. The sphere hovered in the open space, where tremendous amounts of mana surged toward it.

Nial could clearly perceive the tremendous presence of the Divine Palace. It allowed him to make a grand picture of the entire palace, which included the finest details of the interior in the sphere.

There was nothing that escaped his senses. At least, that was when it came to the visualization of the Divine Palace. As for sensing the guards of the Divine Palace, let alone the Divine God of Truth, Nial couldn't perceive them at all.

Entering the Sphere of the Divine God of Truth's domain was not further difficult either. The Oracle used a small golden card, which she pressed flat against the semi-translucent sphere, to open a small entrance.

Nial was not too sure where the Oracle got the golden card from, or what kind of key it was, but there were other things to pay more attention to.

He was a little nervous because he couldn't sense anyone in his surroundings.

'Is my mana blocked from spreading through the Divine Palace?' Nial wondered, not too sure what he should think about that.

It bothered him a little, but it was not as if he could do something against it, in the first place. The Divine Palace was not his territory, but the domain of the Divine God of Truth. It was his playground and everyone who wanted to play on it would have to obey to the rules he had set up.

"Weird. Where are the guards?" The Oracle mumbled under her breath. She looked left and right but couldn't detect anyone. Her plan to use some secret paths to enter the Divine Palace didn't seem to be necessary.

That was pretty good as it allowed them to avoid trouble to a certain extent, but it was also a little confusing. It didn't really make sense either.

Nial followed the Oracle as she entered the Divine Palace's main entrance. He told Ryu and Shadow to return to the Heart of Gluttony, ignoring their plea to stay by his side.

The two needy Devils heed his command after a while, leaving behind Nial and the Oracle. They emerged on the floor in the Divine Palace's entrance and stepped through it with slow but steady steps.

The Oracle's head flicked left and right, whenever they reached an intersection, but she never encountered anyone. It was almost as if the Divine Palace had been abandoned.

But that didn't make any sense.

The Divine Palace of the Divine God of Truth was always crowded and many guests resided in the chambers of the Divine Palace for a long time.

At the end of the day, the Oracle expected that it would be a big problem to reach the chambers of the Divine God of Truth.

However, here they were, standing in front of the huge arched doors, without encountering anyone.

Nial smelled something odd. There was a faint iron-like smell that hung in the air. It attracted his interest and he turned around with closed eyes, fully focusing on his smelling sense.

However, the iron smell was too faint even for Nial to smell. His smelling sense was probably amongst the finest among all Gods, yet, he could barely smell it.

Thus, he turned around with a shrug.

'Well, whatever…'
