But on the other hand, one thing was for certain. He would never attack Lia when he had ti stopped.
He almost died just now.
If he didn’t have the nexus energy, he would’ve most likely perished here.
Once again, Nexus Energy ca to his rescue.
It was his final defense against powerful beings and today he also learned that it worked even more effectively against higher dinsional beings like a god.
The god quite literally trembled and kneeled when it sensed Nexus Energy and fled like a cat that got its tail pulled.
Perhaps it knew sothing about his Nexus Energy.
If it did, then he definitely needed to have a talk with it.
But the question still remained, was the thing sentient or not.
The way it acted, especially when it sensed Nexus Energy, was that of being sentient. However, at the sa ti, it could also be just a fragnt within Lia ant to help her from trouble.
Of course, the only way to find out was from Lia herself and he doubted that she knew anything about it.
"Grey, are you hurt?" Lia flew towards Grey like a shooting star as she examined him with worry and concern.
"I’m fine." Grey replied while shaking his head.
His mind palace had slightly cracked under pressure but it could be fixed in a day or two, nothing to worry about.
It was way better than dying under the power of a god.
"It wasn’t , Grey. I didn’t release that thing." Lia said while panicking, she didn’t want Grey to misunderstand her.
She didn’t even realize what had happened, it was almost like ti itself had been skipped and the next second she was in a grey world with no color and a huge glitchy being above her.
"It’s fine. I know it wasn’t you." Grey smiled as he took a healing potion out of his spatial ring and drank it in one gulp.
"I just wanted to see if stopping ti would have any effects on you, to see if you would be able to move when I stopped ti." Grey said with twitching lips. "And I got my answer, not only can you move with ti stopped, there is also a powerful being residing inside you, protecting you from harm. I attacked you with killing intent and it erged instantly to protect you and to eliminate ."
"Y... You stopped ti?" Lia was astonished. "How is that possible?"
She wasn’t focusing on what happened, rather on the stopping ti part.
For a mont, she didn’t know what to say anymore.
It made sense, she rembered during the broadcast when he was giving his speech as the new city lord of the Ascension Province, Varyn abruptly attacked him and in the next mont, almost as if ti was skipped, Varyn was under Grey’s feet.
Even if you were fast, that shouldn’t be possible normally.
But with ti being stopped, anything was possible.
"The grey world was you stopping ti?" Lia asked thoughtfully.
"Indeed." Grey said with a smile. "I thought you knew, considering how much of a chatter box the immortal lady is, she should have ntioned it once or twice."
"The only thing she ntioned was about your sainthood." Lia thought for a mont and said.
"Well, this ability is part of my sainthood." Grey explained as he sat back on the stone bench.
Seeing this, Lia did the sa.
Then Grey spoke again. "That matter aside, we finally know what you are."
"You yourself should have heard what it said, right?" Grey asked with a smile.
Lia nodded silently.
She heard clearly what it called her.
"Monarch of the legion of gods."
The title stunned her into silence.
"You are indeed the so called empress you saw in your mories." Grey said with a smile. "That ans you are a reincarnated god."
"Yeah..." Lia said bitterly.
To think, she would actually be a powerful god in her previous life.
But that wasn’t much of a concern for her, instead her heart was heavy just thinking about the so called previous life.
At the sa ti, she had a big question in her heart that made her uncomfortable.
"Grey..." She softly called out. "If I awaken my mories, will I stop being who I am right now...?"
She paused, staring deeply at Grey. "What if, what if I stop being friends with you after awakening my mories."
To this, Grey simply shrugged. "That is for the future, the current you still hasn’t fully awakened your mories. So, there is no point in thinking about it right now."
Lia nodded absent mindedly. Not just him, what if she forgot or even completely avoided her old friends when she awakened her mories?
Her personality itself had undergone a drastic change, she could only imagine what would happen when she awakened her previous life mories.
She could only stay silent for now.
"Calm down, Lia." Grey smiled seeing her expression.
He didn’t bla her for being down, he would most likely have the sa reaction when he learned about his previous life too, except he already knew what his previous life was as he was a transmigrator.
Lia and Grey had one thing in common that way, they were both people that crossed over to this world.
"Let’s not think about it for now. What is going to happen will definitely happen and there is nothing we can do about it unless we beco more powerful." Grey added. "Power can reshape anything and everything, even perfection itself."
"Yes." Lia nodded silently.
Then, out of curiosity, Grey asked. "That glitchy being ca out from a seal on your forehead, can you summon it out for ?"
"The seal?" Lia tilted her head, then shook her head. "I can’t summon it on my own, it only appears whenever I use my portal technique and now with being attacked."
"Oh." Grey nodded. "It’s fine then. I just wanted to observe it more closely."
’And see if I can comprehend anything from the seal’ Grey mused in his mind.
"Anyways. Lia, I am sure your evolutionary path changed, I no longer feel any immortal energy from you."
Before, when he was assisting her in controlling the divine energy, he had noticed her internal structure using True Origin Sight. Using it, he was able to discern her energy source and where it flowed.
And inside her, there was a compressed star similar to the one he had, but the thing was, there were two of them.
One in her abdon area and another near her heart.
These two compressed stars constantly drew in cosmic energy in the atmosphere and converted it into divine energy.
