Re:Immortal

Chapter 87

"Impossible! Only the boss is able to..." Slowly Aidan's voice turned into nothing but a whisper as his eyes seemed to turn distant as if thinking about something else.

"But even so, to use the primordial energy?" Aidan's voice was full of uncertainty as he constantly peeked at Omis.

Finally unable to take it anymore, Omis asked.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Hearing his question, Aidan's face hardened while he looked to be torn between something. Soon, however, he slowly fell down to his knees and gave a respectful bow.

"I welcome the new Primordial God, may the Void always guide you home." He suddenly said, his hand tapping on his chest in some sort of salute.

Seeing that Omis was taken aback by the sudden change in Aidan's attitude, he was essentially the one responsible for him losing his body and becoming nothing but a soul, yet here he was on his knees giving him some sort of weird salute.

Needless to say, Omis did not know how to react. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head before asking.

"What in the world are you talking about?"

Seeing the confused expression on his face and hearing his question made Aidan's expression turn even more complicated, he lowered his gaze before starting to shake his head with a bitter smile.

"Ah, I can't believe it. Haha! Who would have thought that a silly prophecy would come true." He spoke in a self-mocking tone before raising his head to look at Omis and asked.

"You were able to resonate with the primordial energy without the help of the boss, did you visit the forsaken lands?"

"The forsaken lands? Do you mean that desolated plane with gray rocks everywhere?" Asked Omis, causing Aidan's expression to turn into one of defeat as he let out a long tired sigh.

"I can't believe you were the one to be chosen and to think the boss sent me after you, haha, I wonder what face he would make if he knew...No he definitely knows now that you are here."

Hearing that Omis's eyebrows turned into a frown, as he was about to ask, a giant dimensional portal suddenly opened in the air above him, blocking the entire sky.

He had no time to react as the portal appeared so abruptly causing all the space in his immediate vicinity to lock preventing him from teleporting away.

An army of 'Hive' minions made their way out of it, thousands upon thousands of them neatly lined up in the sky their aura's seemed to merge together as it appeared to pierce through the void itself, causing Omis's face to darken, he may be stronger than all of them individually, yet their numbers were no joke.

Right as he thought about that, the monstrosity that had attacked him and his group came out of the portal as well before falling into the line with the thousands of other minions, seeing that Omis began to despair, his heart quickly started racing in his chest as he circulated his Qi and Chaos energy.

He then took a deep breath to calm himself down. It would be a bloodbath, and he was not sure whether he would survive or not, but he'll be damned if he did not go down without a fight!

Soon, a devilishly handsome man in red Daoist robes stepped out of the portal. His black hair was short and neatly combed to the back of his head, his skin was as pale as a corpse, yet his most eye-catching feature was his eyes that were blood red.

His gaze was sharp as he looked around before he spotted Omis and Aidan on the mountain below. His eyes seemed to widen for a second as he looked at Omis before he regained his bearings and disappeared from his place only to appear in front of him.

Omis on the other hand was in shock, the young man in front of him seemed to have reached the rank seven of the God realm!

One had to know that even as an Original Omis could be considered as a rank four God realm, with his clone his rating and fighting prowess would rise to push him into the realm of a fifth rank God realm, yet the man in front of him was a rank seven!

Gulping down, Omis's eyes quickly scanned his surroundings in an attempt to figure out a way out of his current situation. It was then that Alura's figure suddenly materialized behind the young man on her knees.

"Boss, that's him!" She hurriedly said as her eyes glared daggers at Omis before she caught sight of Aidan's soul floating behind him.

"Looks like little Aidan was able to walk away with his soul intact." She added with a coquettish smile.

Looking at her Aidan spat at her general direction in disgust before dropping to his knees towards the young man and spoke.

"My lord, it is great to see you."

Glancing at him, the young man gave a small nod of acknowledgment before he calmly started circulating around Omis with a look of curiosity.

"Interesting, who would have thought that an ancient legend would come true." He said, his voice clear and pleasant to the ear.

"Boss, y-you mean?!"

Hearing what her boss had said, Alura's eyes widened and her jaw hung open as she kept glancing at Omis with a terrified expression. Aidan who was behind him looked at her with a satisfied smirk.

'Hmph, at least I'm not the only one.' He thought.

Nodding, the boss came to a stop facing Omis who had a serious expression on his face before giving a small courteous bow and speaking.

"The one chosen by the primordial. Welcome."

"Wha-?" unable to comprehend what was happening, Omis stared at the young man in apprehension.

Seeing their boss bow, the entire army of 'Hive' minions dropped to their knees in the sky as they bowed down to Omis, even the monstrosity that had attacked him before was on its knees in respect.

"We welcome the new Primordial God, may the Void always guide you home!" The entire army suddenly shouted in a united booming voice that shook the heavens itself!

Seeing that, the young man gave a small satisfied nod before turning to look at Omis and ushered him towards the portal.

"Now then, please follow us home. We have been waiting." He said with a smile.
