Chapter 125


    "The prophecy of the ''hunters''?" Asked Omis in doubt.


    To that, Ss gave a solemn nod before speaking.


    "Precisely."


    "And how would you know about a prophecy foretold by the ''Hunters'' master Ss?" Asked Omis, his eyes squinting in uncertainty.


    Hearing his question, Ss seemed unconcerned about the doubt that was clearly visible in Omis''s eyes. His gaze turned into one of reminiscent as he seemed to have been lost in a distant memory before slowly speaking.


    "A long time ago, I lost someone very dear and very close to me because of my foolishness." He spoke, his voice filled with sorrow as he continued.


    "Because of my ipetence, I had foolishly sent him on a mission above his capacity..." At this point, Omis could see the pain visible on Ss''s face as he recounted his story.


    "The prophecy was the final secret that cost him his life." Added Ss, when he finished speaking he was almost unable to hide his pain and sadness as he raised his head to stare at the ceiling with a nk look.


    Hearing everything, Omis suddenly recalled the strange man named Sam who was floating lifelessly in the middle of a container inside the alchemist''s workshop.


    ''Could it be?'' He thought to himself yet refrained from prying any further.


    "I''m sorry for your loss master Ss." He is offered his sincere condolences.


    "It''s okay, it has already been so long since then." Though he said so, one look at his face was enough to tell Omis that Ss was nowhere near getting over it.


    "He was bold and strong, yet very smart as well. As members of the Seekers of knowledge, although our n may have copsed, our search for knowledge did not dwindle in the slightest. One of the unknown variables, since we came to this world, was the ''Hunters''. I proposed to send someone to infiltrate their ranks and gather information. Sam volunteered, and I foolishly let him go..." Said Ss, his voice decreasing until his final phrase came out as nothing but a whisper.


    Omis remained silent as he listened without interrupting him, letting him take his time, this was clearly not an easy topic for Ss to bring up.


    After a few minutes, Ss had finally managed to regain hisposer, his face looked tired as he stared at Omis for a long time before finally speaking.


    "When the Void''s chosen one awakens, the bnce shall be broken, as Immortals and Barbarians take arms against the true Gods." Said Ss.


    "This is the prophecy." He added, a strange glint shing in his eyes as he looked at Omis who had a frown on his face.


    "Forgive me for saying, but that doesn''t make any sense master Ss." Answered Omis.


    "Oh but It does, now everything does." Replied Ss a sad smile on his face.


    "When you came to visit me for the first time, I had my doubts at first. There has not been any awakened ''Original'' for thousands of years master Omis, so when you suddenly appeared the first thing that came to my mind was the prophecy, but still it was nothing but a hunch at the time"


    "Hmmm" Omis stroked his chin as he waited for Ss to continue.


    "Then we went to the Heavenly realm and got crowned as the new Primordial God and the chosen one of the Void. This only served to further confirm my suspicions, and now you want to work together with the ''Hive'' to push back the ''Hunters''. The prophecy speaks of you master Omis."


    A frown made its way to Omis''s face as he looked at Ss for a while before speaking.


    "So you mean to tell me, the Barbarians are the ''Hive''?" He asked.


    "That appears to be what the ''Hunters'' are calling them." Nodded Ss.


    "And the Immortals are...us?" Asked Omis as he pointed at him and Ss.


    "All of us, yes." He answered with another nod.


    "And the true Gods are them?" Asked Omis, still not fully convinced.


    "That would be their masters." Replied Ss a serious look on his face.


    "The glowing bastards?" Asked Omis with a frown to which Ss nodded and continued.


    "Yes, they refer to themselves as the True Gods. That''s the only thing I know." He added with a shake of his head.


    "You see master Omis, to the ''Hive'' you are their savior, yet to the ''Hunters'' you appear to be their enemy." Said, Ss as he looked at Omis waiting for his reply.


    Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Omis let out a long tired sigh before speaking.


    "I do not know about any prophecies, not do I care to be honest. All I know is that the ''Hunters'' and their glowy bastard of masters areing after us with the intention to exterminate us, and I will do anything at my disposal to stop and kill them." He said, his left eye shing with a scarlet glow as his killing intent leaked out causing a shudder to run down Sss back before a wide smile broke out on his face.


    The Seekers of knowledge, or whats left of them at least will do everything to help you master Omis. Said Ss as he stood up before giving a deep bow towards Omis, who waved his hand and replied.


    Please raise your head master Ss, Ill be counting on you in the uing fight. Smiled Omis.


    Haha, please dont expect too much master Omis my strength pales inparison to yours and the White devils.


    True, but your mastery over arrays is unparalleled.


    You tter me. Smiled Ss in reply, but did not say anything further.


    Shall we go see the others? Asked Omis.


    After you.


    Soon the duo left the library and headed towards the center of the vige, where Tizzy could be seen giving out orders to his subordinates, Omis was also able to spot Eva who was tending to Li, the second God realm cultivator under Tizzysmand.


    On another side, Omis caught sight of Addi and Lu Lu standing next to Le, she was sitting on the ground, with tears in her eyes, Addi simply stood next to her his hand patting her back while Lu Lu was crouching in front of her offering words offort.


    How many will survive the uing war? He did not know. Did they even have a chance at winning? He also did not know, the only thing he did know however was that they had to fight, this was the only way to carve a ce for them in this damned world they were now stranded in.
