Affinity:Chaos

Grey and Conor were heading back to the Dawson Family, while the entire Continent was in an uproar.

The apparition of a God appeared in the sky, even though it wasn't clear, it was something that gave some people hope that a God Plane Elementalist might be appearing in the Continent soon enough. If this happens, then the current state of things in the Continent would change drastically.

There are hundreds of Half-God Plane Elementalists present in the Aurora Continent, but none of them have been able to get past this blockade. All they needed was for one person to shatter the shackles and the rest would be able to follow suit in a short time. This is something everyone is aware of, but the problem is that no matter how hard they try, none of them has been able to achieve this.

This was a sign of something, most people didn't know if it was a good or bad sign, but they knew things would be different very soon. The appearance of that apparition means that something was happening behind the scenes, and only a few people might be aware of this.

….

The Northern Continent.

When the apparition appeared in the sky, Martha was with Cori in a room. The duo stepped out and Martha looked at the apparition with squinted eyes.

When Cori saw the figure in the sky she smiled and called out softly, "It's him."

Cori's words drew Martha's attention, "Who?"

"Elder brother Grey." Cori said seriously.

Martha's expression changed drastically. The thought of this being caused by Grey didn't cross her mind, but the moment Cori made this statement, she recalled something.

'He has a God's orb in his body. Could this mean that he has the chance of getting to the God Plane?'

Her mind started moving quickly. This was a serious matter. If Grey has the potential to become a God, then he has to be protected at all costs, even if the entire Continent was sacrificed, as long as he got to the God Plane, it was worth it. He would break the chains holding them down and reconnect the rumored broken path.

'If others find out about this, he'll be in danger.' She understood what came with such responsibility.

"Never say this to anyone, okay?" She turned to Cori.

the seriousness in her expression was taken aback, but she nodded her head. She always listened to her. Well, how could she disobey her? She had seen how she handles Lucas whenever he makes a wrong decision or says something wrong. She admired her and wanted to be like her.

Martha smiled and gently caressed her hair. They continued watching the phenomenon, and even when Martha's father came over, Cori didn't make any statement about it apparition being Grey.

Martha wasn't certain, but with whatever that was written in that scroll, and Grey's ability to use all elements, this was quite easy to believe when she connected all the dots. Being able to use all elements was something she felt only a God should be capable of doing, and even in the ancient texts, the Gods that roamed the Aurora Continent didn't have the ability to control all elements which made the God Grey got his orb special.

After a short while, the apparition faded off. She heaved a sigh when the apparition didn't show Grey's visage. The fact that Cori was able to recognize it was beyond her, but she didn't doubt the little girl.

….

The entire Continent were in a heated discussion about the apparition on the sky.

As Grey and Conor headed back, they noticed that whatever Town or City they flew past, everyone was gathered outside, all discussing fervently. It was fine if it was just one, but three Cities were in such a state and the duo's curiosity made them stop. And when they listened to what happened, their eyes widened.

"You're saying a large figure appeared in the sky?" Conor was in a state of disbelief.

"You didn't see it? I'm certain that figure could be seen across the entire Continent…" One of the young men they asked replied with a serious expression as he explained what happened.

The young man was only in the Overlord Plane, and seeing young people like Grey and Conor, he felt they were on the same level as he spoke to them carefreely.

Conor and Grey exchanged glances.

Conor gave Grey a strange look, while Grey wore a confused expression. He didn't see any apparition.

The duo disappeared on the spot, leaving the City and appearing on a hilltop.

"Could the man's process of breaking through have blocked the sky and not allow us to see such a phenomenon?" Grey placed his hand on his cheek while his heart was beating rapidly.

He used his superior ability to hide this detail from Conor as his expression was calm. The description of the apparition according to that young man was exactly how his breakthrough happened. If the young man was correct, that meant the apparition in the sky was a visual of his breakthrough.

'This is bad. Will I get noticed?'

Grey was panicking internally, but in front of Conor, he wore a calm expression.

"Your battle was very serious, covering a large area due to it. There's a good chance it might have blocked us from seeing it." Conor replied.

He couldn't accuse Grey of being the one who caused it, even though he suspected it, he didn't dare to make such allegations.

"What do you think the apparition in the sky means? Did someone become a God? Or did a God come over to take a peek at how we're leaving?"

Grey asked multiple questions in a row. He wore a perplexed expression as everyone else who saw the apparition. There was no way he was going to give himself away.

Conor was also just as perplexed, his suspicion towards Grey was thrown to the back of his mind. There were hundreds of Half-God Plane Elementalists in the Continent, there's a good chance one of them might've actually broken through.
