"So, you're finally awake!"

  Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him, sending a shiver down his spine. Despite being on high alert, he wasn't able to sense any presence close to him.

  Jumping back up to a few meters, he created distaween them enough to dodge any attacks.

  Raising his head, his eyes nded on a young woman who seemed to be ihirties with an hss figure. Her long blond hair was a little short to not touch the ground, just like a magnifit waterfall.

  But Jason didn't find her beauty appreciating at all. On the trary, he was feeling a little scared because his senses were giving dangerous vibes to him from the same beauty in front of him.

  'This beautiful woman in front of me is not simple. She is givihe same vibe given by that old master of mine. No! She is even scarier than him.'

  His eyes turned sharp as he quickly searched around carefully with his eyes, searg for anything to use as a potential on.

  Pfft!~

  The blond woman smiled and said, her voice soothing to the listener. "You'll not find any on here."

  'She saw through me!' Jason stared at her, his expression calm but deep in his heart, he started. 'I have to escape first.'

  Making up his mind, he quickly turned around and fled from that pce, esg with everything he had.

  "You 't leave." The oke slowly with no iion of chasing after him.

  Jason ignored her and ran as fast as he could.

  After running for fifteen minutes, he finally stopped, gasping for breaths.

  'What is going on? Why am I out of breath so fast? When did I bee so weak?!... Well, at least, I escape from her. Just what in the hell was she?'

  He looked bad saw no behind him, except the forest.

  "You're back so quickly,"

  Just as he rexed to take a breath, that charming and soothing voice sounded again, almost giving him a heart attack.

  Raising his head, he saw the same pavilion in front of his eyes. The blonde beauty was sitting in her chair, looking at her with a sweet smile.

  'H-How?! How did I return here?!'

  For the first time in his life, Jason's eyes were filled with dread. In his twenty-five years of assassin career, he had never experienced anything like this.

  He quickly fled again, making sure he was going in a straight lihout any tail behind him. But in the end, he still ended up in the same pce.

  No matter how much he tried, he failed to find a. In the end, he plopped down on the ground, tired from stantly running around.

  "If you're tired, want to rex and have a chat." The blonde woman said with a sweet smile as she waved her hand and tea poured in two empty cups oable beside her.

  Jason could only sigh and walked over to her, plopping down on the bed. He looked at the tea and took a sip.

  Just as the tea entered his mouth, it turned into gas aered his body. A soothing feeling spread across his body, rexing his tense muscles, his fatigue gone.

  The woman tio smile and said after taking a sip of her tea. "Do you not want to know who I am?"

  "Hmm, I want to say no but I have a feeling that you're still going to tell me, am I right?"

  "Hehehe, you're smart but also oo. I haven't had so much fun iuries watg you running like a child in my garden."

  Pff!

  Jason was sipping his tea when he almost choked, his face twitg. 'turies?! e on sister, you barely look older thay-five years old.'

  "You think so? You're really sweet." The woman's eyes lit up and she smiled, ping his nose. "But I'm older than you think. Just how many millennials it has been?... Well, who cares."

  She waved her hand and introduced herself. "I'm a Goddess! To be specific, The Goddess of Life ah."

  'Huh? Goddess of Life ah? I have never heard about it. Well, it is not like I believe in them anyway. Just what is happening? Wait...'

  Jason asked quickly, "You're a goddess? Then that means I'm dead?"

  The woman nodded her head slowly.

  "What about those bastards? Did they survive?"

  The woman was amused by her words and chuckled. "You're an iing one. Well, to answer your question, No, all of them died in the end."

  Jason was relieved to hear that. "Thank God! Or it will have bee the biggest regret and embarrassment of my whole life... Now, what is going to happen to me?"

  "Normally you should have beeo Hell to repent but due to your as, you received many blessings. Not only that but you even saved many future tragedies from happening, receiving even more merit. It caused yood karma to far surpass your bad karma."

  "So, what is going to happen to me now?" Jason asked, directly to the point.

  "Well, you should be sent to Heaven but I have a proposal for you." The oke.

  "A proposal? What type of proposal?" Jason asked, cog his eyebrow as he stared at her.

  The oke, "If you do two things for me, then I'll give you another ce at life."

  "What type of things?" Jason asked carefully. Everything seemed too suspicious to him.

  The goddess replied. "I'll tell you wheime is right."

  Jason asked. "Why not now?"

  "Because you're too weak!" She was blunt with her words.

  Jaso a little insulted but thinking about the situation he was in. He sighed and asked. "Are you a Goddess? Why am I having a vibe of the devil from you? Am I going to sell my soul to you or something?"

  The blond woman asked, not g about his feelings. "Hehe... No, it's not like that. So, do you want to accept my deal or do you want to go to heaven?"

  "Fine, I accept. A devil like me will not find pea Heaven." Jason said while keeping a few words deep inside his heart. 'I just hope I will nret it ter!'

  The woman nodded her head and raised her hand, a golden light shot forth from her hand and nded on Jason.

  Jason's body shoh rainbow light and a characters appeared all over his body. A sharp pain rose into dantan, almost unbearable but he still gritted his teeth f himself from screaming.

  Badump badump badump...

  Suddenly, the aexts all over his body were divided into two parts. The ones on the right side were deeply red colored akin to a demon writing, just like someone had inscribed them on his skin with a sharp on. It looked rather horrific. While the ones on the left had a golden aura around them opposite to the ones on the right, very pure and divine.

  At the ter of his chest, the a inscriptions intervened with each other and formed a small hole.

  The blonde woman's eyes fshed with a peculiar light and she moved like lightning. A bck colored orb appeared in her hand and she ied it ihat hole.

  The stone was akin to the missing piece of a puzzle, instantly fitting into the hole. All the inscriptions lit up with even brighter and darker red and golden lights.

  Jason was pletely oblivious to everything and was subjected to even more pain, being tormented by sta and cold. But even in that hell, he didn't scream even once.

  At the end of the day, he was still a normal human, after enduring for over half an hour, he lost sciousness from the pain.

  The process tinued for over forty-five minutes before it ended.

  The a character seeped bato his body.

  The blond ut down her hand, her face paled but her eyes had a firmness in them as she gazed at him lying down on the ground.

  "I've fulfilled your st wish, Mother." The blond goddess stared at the sky and murmured. "Soon, I'll e to meet you at the pce of the beginning and you've to give me the ao my every question."

  She raised her hand and a bck portal appeared in the spa front of her. Waving her hand, she threw the unscious Jason into the portal suspended into the air.

  It closed soon after...

  "Mother! Why are you going so far for that mortal?"

  Just at this moment, a majestid divine voice resounded in the garden followed by the appearance of another young blond woman, lookily like the first blond woman, just like a Xerox copy.

  The Goddess of Life ah smiled at the arrival of the newer. "Yan'er, you're back already."

  The woman called Yan'er arrived near her and hugged her from behind. "Mother, don't ge the topic. Please answer me. Why are you going so far for that prick?"

  She gave a disdainful look and grumbled. "He is not worthy of those powers."

  The Goddess shook her head and patted her daughter. "Don't speak that Yan'er! It's yrandmother's st cherished wish."

  "But Grandma died millennia ago! Why would she tell you to pass your divine powers to a mere mortal?" Yan'er cmored.

  The goddess shook her head. "No! It's my own decision."

  "But why?"

  "Because even I 't read his fate!"

  "What?!" Yan'er cried out in horror. "I-It's impossible."

  Her rea was pletely justified. After all, her mother was currently the empress of the Omniverse, aence above a true God. Even her father couldn't hide his fate and thoughts from her.

  She looked at her mother and shouted. "He is nothing but a mortal. How could it be possible?"

  The goddess's eyes drifted to the position where Jason was moments ago and murmured. "Even after being tormented for over half an hour, he didn't scream o's not normal..."

  'And there is a very powerful a energy hidden deep within his soul. Even I ot touch him. Just who is that mortal that even my mother who died millenniums ago went out of her way for him? I just hope it will n disaster to the entire omniverse!'

  Yan'er looked at her mother lost ihoughts and turned her head at the empty garden.
