Chapter 8: Soul Dimension and Sea of Consciousness

Chapter 8: Soul Dimension and Sea of ConsciousnessThe young man, who seemed to be the leader of the angels, waited for an entire minute as the people were drowning in despair before speaking again. "I can feel the terror in your hearts, but there is no need to fear since you are not alone. I am Asmael, a Knight of God, and the Omnipotent has sent us to guide you in these troubled times." As soon as the people heard these words, adoration appeared in their eyes as they glanced at the young man and the rest of the angels. While it sounded like a grandiose story that was too good to be real, no one disputed it. After all, they were angels of legend and had saved them from the monsters by displaying what could only be described as divine power. Asmael smiled grandly as he saw how many people began to kneel in his presence, uttering words of devotion as if he were God himself.

Vlad couldn’t help but frown as he observed the behavior of those people, and he was not alone. Many others looked at the angels with gratitude but did not kneel on the ground and utter words of devotion. Asmael and the other angels glanced at the people who were not worshiping them but did not say a word. Once the adoration was over, the young leader of the angels spoke again. "As the messiah says, give a man a piece of meat, and he will eat for a day, but teach a man how to hunt, and he will have food for the dangerous times. Although our mission is to protect you, only twenty of us managed to descend from Heaven, and we will need your support to face the incoming hordes, as many more monsters of the Abyss will march out of the fiery inferno." When the people heard these words, fear arose in their hearts. Even the smallest monster had the strength of a bear and the speed of an Olympic athlete, so there was no way for normal people to face them one-on-one. Asmael remained silent for a few moments as he glanced at the growing fear in the people’s hearts. Just before a commotion would arise, he spoke again. "I understand your fears about entering the battlefield, but there is no need to worry. God has already given you the tools to fight these monsters by opening your Soul Dimension. In it, there is the Sea of Consciousness, which you can use as an energy pool to face the monsters." A meaningful light appeared in the eyes of the people as they heard those words. They all remembered the voice that appeared at the beginning and saw those screens with numbers, but up to now, they had no idea where it came from. It turns out to be the voice of God! Although many found those words to make perfect sense, Vlad’s eyes grew sharp. The way that voice spoke did not fit the omnipotent and religious nature that God should have since it was charged with both overwhelming wrath and, even more importantly, fear. The more he heard and saw from these angels, the more Vlad felt there was something off about them. However, he kept his reservations to himself as the power they unleashed was something he was not even close to attaining yet. "RUMBLE!" Suddenly, another tremor appeared, and people watched in horror as the cracks in the ground grew, signaling that more monsters from the Abyss would soon emerge and attack them. "We must act fast. All of you with a Gift, step forward!" Many of the people were confused by those words, but soon dozens walked toward Asmael. Vlad also had a Gift, but he did not make a move and remained with the rest. No matter what machinations or plans these angels had, he was not interested in being part of them. However, Vlad’s eyes suddenly widened as he saw that one of the people who walked toward Asmael was none other than Jessica. Although the stakes right now were too high to care about a woman who made fun of him and spread lies, Vlad was not someone who forgot the people who wronged him.
