All Chapters of The Ascension: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

..."I don't recommend you to leave." Dehlia said with an inexplicable look on her face. Ley could see that she was sincere and serious. Something bad would happen if he tried to leave the island. That was what her words just now implied. Ley pressed his lips into a thin line. In his mind, he was a bit conflicted... and annoyed. After all, he knew the woman had no malicious intention, yet. The reason she was preventing him from walking out of this house was probably because she believed that she was his shelter and shield against the unknown threat that normally would spell trouble or, even, demise to outsiders. Yet he was annoyed since if he was not brought here in the first place, but to a hospital, none of these would happen. "Miss Dehlia, actually, I would have to tell you one thing." With a solemn look put on, he turned around to meet her in the eyes. This time, he was clear about the unusual care that showed in her eyes. Ley who wa

...It had been hours since Ley left Dehlia as if he was fleeing for dear life. The woman was still dumbfounded and could not believe that the young man she fancied and wanted to bind to herself turned out to be not an ordinary person. He was actually not a regular human being that she could trap in their island through marriage. How could he teleport out of a forest fairy's house? What kind of being did she try to entrap? Dehlia stared blankly at the door. She did not even notice when she got herself seated on the wooden sofa in the living room. Was she wrong for wanting to be with the guy she liked? Or was it her approach that was wrong? However, she did take care of him sincerely. Although he said that he could not stay due to an enemy, she could not help but feel empty. Dehlia's head was blank for a long while, until she realized that she committed a blunder due to her shortsightedness and stupidity. When her tribe leader arrived and

...There was still no news of Hana after an entire week. Ley and co never left the island since then. Not even the mortals were allowed to step foot outside the island due to Ley's extreme cautiousness. Until they heard from the Goddess who was not inhabiting Hana's body, he deemed it unsafe for them to join the bigger fights outside. To pass the time, Ley talked to the old man and as the Goddess had guessed, the matter he raised was about their severely lacking combat strength. He did not open up regarding his conjecture about why Anitos went after another Anitos. However, there was no need for Fernando to hear that in order to feel the urgency of their situation. "The world of the Anitos is really not as peaceful as regular humans expect." The old man had said it already before, but he repeated these same words afternoon of Ley's return from the village. This was after he created the roads that aimed to improve the lives of the locals when it come

Ley uttered some words addressed to the Goddess of the Sun and Dawn. However, he knew not to expect that he would be heard soon. The status of the Goddess was just too high and unimaginable for small fries like him. It was said that in the Skyworld, the number of inhabitants were a hundred times more than the current population of the Mortal Realm. As a major deity, there bound to be many believers calling out the Goddess' name every second. Meanwhile, he was but an Anito who was not truly a believer of Hanan. In actuality, the prayer, like to anybody who did this when faced with problems and dilemmas, was just a way to get some inner peace. On that day, Ley did not get a wink of sleep, nor did he try getting some. An Anito, if not without divine energy in them, could stay up for an entire month if they wanted to. This was why, he was not bothered, and when morning came, without people observing him carefully, they would not even notice the stress that coul

...While Ley was hesitant to voice out his fears about the nefarious way an Anito could speed up their ascension or increase of strength, the old man left to guard the island also had his own misgivings that he had been keeping to himself, worries that were eating away at his heart. Ever since Fernando learned that powerful deities from the Skyworld could descend to Earth, he started having doubts about his current race. What if all along, Skyworld gods could do what the Goddess had done to Hana's body? In the near future, would they just suddenly awake to find themselves taken over by some random Skyworld gods too? When Hana's body was suddenly taken over by the Goddess of the Sun and Dawn, what process did they go through? Did Hana give her permission or was she not at least informed beforehand? The unknown was always the most evoking of fear. Unfortunately, as Fernando was but a low-level deity, the answer could not come
