13.7 The only soul

A-Xuan woke up and gazed upward to see Kyrios holding him tightly, as if he was afraid he might run away.

Using CF, A-Xuan scanned his body and discovered that he had become a god. He sat up abruptly and shook Kyrios vigorously, causing him to awaken.

Kyrios sat up and asked, "Are you okay?"

A-Xuan yelled, "What did you do?"

Kyrios explained, "I granted you godhood by transferring half of my power to ensure your strength."

A-Xuan gazed at him in shock and stood up from the bed. Kyrios attempted to approach, but A-Xuan took a step back.

A-Xuan began to hyperventilate and his eyes became moist. "Why would you do something so reckless?"

Kyrios desired to move closer but restrained himself. "I did not want you to feel vulnerable any longer. I wished for you to feel secure."

A-Xuan wiped his tears and shouted in a trembling voice, "What will you do if someone tries to kill you? You have lost half of your power."
