Demon God

Chapter 222: God's Eyes



Tap! Tap! Tap! The sound of footsteps resounded out in the hallway, and this made Desire...snap back to reality.

"Huh?" Desire exclaimed as he...looked at Jarina, who was standing a few feet apart from him.

And because he was looking at her with a dumb look on his face, Jarina noticed that there was something wrong, prompting her to speak, "Desire? What's wrong?"

Her voice reached Desire's ears, and this made Desire...widen his eyes as he raised his right hand and touched his lips with a finger.

He...touched his lips all over with his index finger, and this made him look weird, but Jarina knew that Desire wouldn't do something like this without a reason, which is why she...walked up to him.

"Desire? Are you alright? Did something happen with the Elves?"

It was then that Jarina was able to notice something...happening with Desire's eyes.

It was...white. Right, Desire's red eyes, no...to be exact, Desire's right eye had turned into white.

"Desire!? Your eye-!" Jarina shouted out loud when she noticed it, but...she was interrupted by Desire himself.

Desire raised his left hand, touching Jarina's lips as well, which prevented her from speaking.

He was touching his own lips with his right hand while touching Jarina's soft lips with his left hand.

It was...a weird sight, but Desire didn't care about that at all as he just focused on that feeling...the vivid feeling of the kiss that he and Jarina shared.

"What the..." Desire murmured as he felt confused about this situation.

Even though the kiss was so vivid, it still...didn't feel right.

That was why Desire knew that the kiss didn't happen, but...the vivid feeling was so strong that Desire felt like it did happen.

It was a weird feeling to have, and even Desire couldn't fully decipher this situation.

It was then that something appeared...in front of him. It was the usual screen of Unknown.

[Desire has come into contact with one of the Forbidden Ones.]

[This Forbidden One is special, causing Desire's Godly Ability, God's Eyes, to awaken.]

[Godly Ability, God's Eyes]

-Future Vision: allows Desire to look into the future for a few seconds.

-The All-Seeing Eye: allows Desire to see through all kinds of lies, deception, and illusion.

[The Godly Ability, God's Eyes, have other abilities as well, but due to Desire's current level of strength, he is inadequate to use it.]

[Unknown shall seal the other abilities of the God's Eyes until Desire is strong enough.]

And that was all. Desire finished reading it in a jiffy, and he was...calm about it.

He wasn't shocked or anything like that; he just thought that it makes sense now.

Right, things make sense now. After all, if this vivid feeling of him and Jarina kissing was because of the Future Vision, then...it makes sense.

'Still...Godly Ability, huh? I never thought I would have something like that as well...'

Desire had the Demon's Oath, which makes the demons his slave no matter who it is.

Since that Demon's Oath was so unbalanced, Desire thought that was his Godly Powers or something like that.

However, since his God's Eyes appeared out of nowhere, it was clear as day that the Demon's Oath was different from his Godly powers.

'Hmmm...so then, where did the Demon's Oath come from?' Desire thought as he got lost in the wonder of all these mysteries around him.

However, he was quickly pulled back as Jarina spoke, "Desire? What's going on? You're acting so weird, and your eye, too!"

"Ah, this...it's nothing. My eye...what's wrong with it?" Desire asked Jarina.

And as if it was waiting for Desire to say those words, the white in his right eye...faded into nothing as his right eye returned to its original color.

"Huh? That's weird...I can say for sure that your eye became white all of a sudden," Jarina said as she tilted her head.

She was sure that Desire's right eye turned white, but...seeing it now made Jarina doubt what she saw.

"Anyway, I called you out here because I wanted to ask you a question," Desire changed the topic quickly as he straightened his body.

He didn't want Jarina to know this since Desire thought that this God's Eyes would become one of his secret trump cards.

Although Desire truly trusts Jarina, it is still better to stay on the safe side of things.

Anyway, Desire continued to speak the same things that he spoke in the Future Vision.

He asked if Jarina sees him as a monster, and the answer came out just like in the vision that he saw.

However, there was something interesting that happened in this situation.

And that was...'Jarina didn't move to hug me. Hmmm, does this mean that the future that I see isn't guaranteed to happen?'

Right, Jarina didn't walk up to him nor did she hug Desire. Most importantly, the two...didn't kiss each other.

And this basically means that the Future Vision isn't really guaranteed to happen.

The Future Vision ability of God's Eyes will just allow Desire to see one of the many possibilities that may happen in the future or...

'If that's the case, then...these God's Eyes isn't really that strong. Oh, wait...'

'Did the future change because of my actions?' Desire thought as he realized that the future changed because of what he did.

Well, in the Future Vision, Desire didn't touch his lips nor did he touch Jarina's lips.

Desire just straightaway asked Jarina that question after checking the surroundings, but in the current situation, Desire did touch his lips and Jarina's lips.

That alone may have influenced Jarina's decision to kiss Desire and this...totally make sense.

The future isn't always guaranteed, and one will be able to change it if one wants to change it.

The future...is as fragile as the present. At least, that's what Desire believes in this situation.

Incidentally, Jarina knows the act of kissing, but she only knows that it is to express one's love.

Anyway, when Desire finished asking Jarina, he said that Jarina should come with him again, and they went back to the place where the Elves were located.

Since Desire got the God's Eyes after meeting the Elves, to be exact, the Royal Family of the Elves, it is more than reasonable to think that the Forbidden One that the Unknown mentioned is Aerith Ixthmonia or Aeri Ixthmonia.

That was why...Desire wanted to see them again. 

He would look at them with his God's Eyes...
