XXII Family Origins (Book 4 End)

It was already night In the North Pacific Ocean and the number of ships around the black vortex has increased immensely after the news of creatures rising from the sea.

Military of all nations rushed to the black vortex while other soldiers were sent to deal with the prime beasts that escaped the black vortex and entered the mainland, but with the increase of energy density on earth, even the animals are starting to show changes.

The black vortex was inactive for hours, but it suddenly moved while a youth emerged from the vortex and stopped above water.

Looking at the youth that emerged and was standing on the water, numerous soldiers raised their guns and pointed at him.

One of the soldiers, a middle-aged man wearing a uniform slightly different from the other soldiers and seeming to be their leader, looked at Elijah with his gaze filled with wary.

But before they could do anything the youth disappeared before them. A young soldier in his twenties quickly stepped towards the middle-aged man and spoke, filled with admiration.

"Colonel, according to the report of the scientists aboard the scientific research vessel Eclair and the images we received from the satellite Argos E-5000, there is a massive amount of energy never seen before being emitted throughout the planet. 15 minutes ago, the secretary of defense reported about dozens of animals that have undergone mutations after coming into contact with this unknown energy. As for the boy we just saw walking on water,I do not know if you'll believe it, but they're saying he's a deity and he could shoot a gray thunderbolt out of his hands, form a giant gate that protected them against the giant from the reports we received. "

The colonel looked at the young soldier with eyes that had seen so much and said.

"Kid, how long are you working here?"

"A year and a half sir!"

"Well, you're still young and did not live long enough to see all the craziness this world has to offer, but let me tell you one thing." The colonel looked at the black vortex and continued: "The only reason we can say someone is weak is when we are stronger and no matter how great the gap is or how great you think you are, we are nothing but sand particles that are worth nothing. Also, don't you think everything we saw just now could be a secret project from another country? Even if there are gods and they are stronger that us, I would fight until one of the sides is dead."

...

Feeling an intense headache, Elijah looked around to see himself inside a place. He a table, chairs, everything a normal house would have.

'Where am I?' Elijah asked himself while he turned to take a closer look from where he was and saw a man and a woman looking at him and his mouth opened in amazement as he recognized them both.

"Teacher Damian and... Sif? What is happening?"

Sif walked toward Elijah and helped him sir on one chair, with gentleness in her gaze.

"I think is time for me and Damian to tell you the truth" This time Damian got up and at the same time his hair turned silvery and his pupils turned scarlet.

"You!"

"Yes, it's me. As you must already noticed, I'm not really a mortal, at least not anymore and you is one of my descendants. I this is not something so easy to believe, so it would be best if you come with me and see for yourself." Damian walked to another room and Elijah followed after him to a dark room with a table and a wooden plate and his gaze turned to Elijah while he pointed to the plate.

"Put a drop of blood on the plate." Elijah thought why he would need to give a drop of blood but thinking about a few things, he decided it was something simple to do. With a thin lightning string, it cut the skin on his thumb and from a drop of blood flowed out of the cut and fell on the plate.

"Now it my turn."Damian approached the table to drop of his blood fell on the plate and when the two drops met, they merged into one as countless sparks of blue and grey lightning destroyed the plate.

"I understand you must really be my ancestor or something, but my family not have anything detailed about our ancestor, besides that he was a Imperial God of lightning. I know there is something you would like ask me but I want to know about my family first."

"Okay, so it's a long story. Let's sit there while I explain to you about your family and why they would be in a small kingdom on a distant planet. Louise, could you bring some tea for us to drink while we talked to our grandson?"

"Yes, I had just made some."Sif looked at them before walking to the kitchen.

"So, what you can say about my family?"

"As for the origins of your family, You could say it began thousands of years ago, there was a young mortal that was very talented, so talented that not even the Gods dared to be his Patron God because they feared the fact that this mortal could become a threat. Of course Odin's son, Thor didn't believe this and went to take the boy as a disciple. Years later, the boy achieved the ninth realm and was nearly at the limit between a mortal and a celestial.

At that time, he became famous traveling around the cosmos doing several mission for his master, but everything went wrong when sent to protect a seventeen-year-old girl on a world called Midgard. The two of them fallen in love and the girl even became pregnant but when the boy went to ask for his master blessings, but what he received was fury and hatred as his master tried to kill him and it was then that the boy discovered that the girl he was sent to protect was, in reality, his master's wife that had reincarnated after being killed by one of the abyss princess in the last divine war.

Feeling that he was guilty, the boy surrendered and closed his eyes while he waited for his master to kill him, but nothing happened and when he opened his eyes, he saw the girl he fell for fighting for his life with a golden spear in her hand and from the streams of golden light she radiated, the boy realized that she had awakened her memories and powers but what the impact him the most, was that even with the girl remembering about her true identity and past, she still chose him.

Seeing the feeling they had for one another, the boy's master became even more angry and decided to kill them both. With resolve in his eyes, Thor released a lightning strike that hit the girl with full power, and the boy could only hear her scream as her body covered with lightning marks appeared beside him, the girl hold the boy's hand while giving him a smile as a lightning and thunder stronger and louder than anything they had heard or saw.

At the moment when it was impossible to escape death, the boy felt the deeps of his soul trembled as he passed thought the last barrier and all the cultivation his master had given him had become completely part of him and when he was touched by the lightning, it was all absorbed inside him and he made something that never happened before.

As you know, a divine cultivator had certain limitations that would make nearly impossible for him to enter the celestial realms as it is needed the cultivator insights and you own understanding about the law before reaching the celestial realms.

But what the boy did was something even more scary, he 'law steal' his master gaining a even higher control with lightning and Thunder laws than his master and in the end, everything that belonged to Thor had become his,his position as a god, his understanding of laws.

As for Thor, his existence was erased from everything in the cosmos. Because of this, Odin hated the boy and swore to kill him and his descendants, but the boy took his son to the world where he came from so he would have a safer life and went to hide with his wife on her home planet where they lived for centuries until now.

After all that happened, the boy's son ended up creating his own family called branches and you Elijah, are his descendant.
