God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-825

When he emerged in the air above the plains, Jason first took a deep breath to invigorate himself.

Afterward, he tried to figure out in which direction the city governed by Luna was located.

Thus, he took a good look around after inserting mana into his eyesight. This allowed him to find what he was looking for just a moment later.

The city was far away from his current location, and Jason flew towards it at a slow pace, without trying to attract any attention.

That was something he felt to be necessary because the presence that permeated the entire region around him was gloomy, making him feel uncomfortable.

Because of that, he first tried to message both Jennifer and the City Lord using the messenger card, but nobody answered.

Thus, he entered the city, but instead of approaching the City Lord's abode, he first walked through the crowded alleys.

There, he first ordered food from the busiest stall in order to procure information about what all had occurred after the Kinra Island submerged.

Hence, for the remainder of the day, he went from one stall to another, listening to the people eagerly talk amongst each other. Jason didn't speak with anyone if one excluded the stall owners he talked to for ordering food.

In the end, these hours turned out to be a fruitful investment. He had figured out quite a lot about the happenings in the Julandra region, and Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit shocked.

Several races had infiltrated the Julandra region, forcing the Devir and Aeus race to join forces just to survive.

With that arch-rivals had turned into the closest comrades in order to protect their lands and people from the infiltrators. Yet, humans were still subdued.

However, this wasn't the case for long because a terror attack had killed the majority of the Aeus and Devir race's nobles. The culprits had ambushed the nobles who had participated in a commemoration ceremony marking the completion of two years of the battle in which the race's warriors had held back the infiltrators.

The ceremony was not only a celebration to honor those who had fought the other races for such a long time, but also to set up new plans to increase their defenses in order to hold back the infiltrators forever, if possible.

Unfortunately, the ceremony ended in the worst possible way as a bomb created out of an extremely unique material detonated. The blast was so catastrophic that not even the remains of the people could be found.

And that material was none other than the Immortal eye!

When Jason heard this, he immediately thought of Luna. He questioned himself if that was the reason for her to request an Immortal eye to be brought to her.

'She…asked for an Immortal eye, just to create a bomb…killing the Aeus and Devir race's nobles?' Jason wondered. He was confused about the reason for her to do something like this and in such a perilous period at that.

Scratching the back of his head in confusion, his mind required a few seconds to process the information about the happenings that followed after the terror act had been caused.

In fact, Luna's name was not even mentioned or linked to the attack. What had been mentioned instead was the fact that the perpetrator was already identified and a warrant had been issued.

The same applied to the perpetrator's disciple, which caused Jason to stiffen for a moment.

'Jennifer was already on everybody's radar in her original form, but now even her disguise should be useless…That..is bullshit!'

He had almost cursed out when he heard that Jennifer was being searched by the Devir and Aeus race. However, fortunately enough, the two races had more than enough to do.

They had focussed on appointing new, capable individuals as nobles in order to allow them to lead combat units in the war with the other races.

Following the explosion and loss of many powerful beings of both the Devir and Aeus race, the Manyrs were starting to riot too.

They demanded equal rights as everyone else had or threatened to join the ranks of the infiltrators, and support them by all means.

Forced by the threat the Manyrs had issued, the Aeus and Devir race accepted them in their rows.

Though they did it reluctantly, it was much better than being attacked by another race from within.

Because of that, even the Tritans that had previously been disliked and hated as an organization were accepted by the two races. It clearly showed that they had better things to do than to discriminate against mutants of their own race.

Rather than discriminating, they wanted to make use of the mutants that were mostly stronger than anyone else!

When Jason heard this, he was not sure if the goal of the Tritans had been achieved, but it was not like he was truly bothered about them, to begin with.

He had only heard of the Tritans because Jennifer was with them, and that was just because of her own goals, too!

With that in mind, the Tritans organization could be no different than the rest.

It could be using Jennifer for its selfish interests which caused Jason to contemplate for a moment.

A random thought popped up in his mind making him halt in the middle of the street.

'If Luna initiated the terror act without Jennifer's knowledge, they might have gone their separate ways by now…and the Tritans must have abandoned Jennifer too…does that mean she is trying to survive on her own, inside the Julandra region?… Or did she leave because of that?!'

Even if it was possible, Jason didn't believe that Jennifer had been caught, let alone killed.

Because of that, he began to think of all kinds of other possibilities about Jennifer's current hiding spot, or what could have happened to her.

However, standing around idle was not exactly helpful, and he already got an idea to find her.

Thus, he was relatively calm and could pay more attention to his surroundings, and listen to the Aeus, Devirs and Manyrs who were filling the streets of the city.

If there hadn't been the constant gloomy presence he was feeling since he had entered the city, Jason would have thought that the only change was the way in which the Manyrs were allowed to act.

Despite them being on equal footing with the other two races, they were still frowned upon. Jason noticed this quite easily because he was subjected to far more weird stares than before.

In fact, he was presumed to be one of the mutants belonging to the Tritans. It was the sole reason nobody bumped into him or bothered to talk him down for anything he was currently doing. Everyone avoided him owing to his mana fluctuations that were extremely strong.

Jason's persona had changed too due to thousands of fights he had fought in the last few years, followed by the fights against the lesser puppets of the Primordial races.

Afterward, he had received his inheritance that only intensified things further.

It was because of this that he was ignored by other beasts and both the Devir and Aeus race that would normally try to humiliate the Manyrs and Tritans on every occasion.

However, they sensed that Jason would retaliate the moment they did something, which the ordinary citizens could not cope with. This fact made them ignore him.

But that was not something Jason noticed because he was already occupied with the plan he had in mind to find out Jennifer's location!

He had the Sacred Squirrel and its blessings, after all!
