Sensing its presence itself was already more than any of the beings in the surrounding could handle.
The injured Devil Calivra Centipede wanted nothing more than to flee as quickly as possible.
However, it was unable to move, which was exactly the same for everyone else.
Not even Jason was able to move, and his Celestia aura was overwhelmed while being forcefully pushed back by the Beast God's presence.
But as Jason was still looking upwards, he could clearly tell that the Beast God was in perfect control of the mana all around them.
Other than that, it was at a much higher altitude than Jason first expected which made it seem as if the beast was smaller than it truly was.
Only the shadows were visible, owing to the angle in which the sunlight streamed on the Beast God.
But after he peered at it intently, he could tell that it was a huge, white-feathered bird with two pairs of wings, and a lengthy neck, which indicated that it was the Beast God of Mana!
It didn't have a single elemental affinity, but its control over mana was almost perfect, even without control over an Elemental affinity.
'If I'm correct, only three Beast Gods of the cultivation paths exist…one for each cultivation path. That means this bird is the one and only Mana Beast God?'
Jason's conclusion was logical so it left no room for error in his assumption that it could be Pryr or Spiral Beast God.
He didn't know any Beast Gods to begin with, and it was the first time for him to be in the presence of a real God.
His father was probably also one, but that didn't mean Jason had ever been in his presence.
With that in mind, he could only try to imprint every single thing his Divine eyes perceived as he tried to insert Moonlight divine energy into them.

Seconds passed, but the shadow of the Mana Beast God didn't disappear.
It had suddenly appeared, and the Beast God was now circling above them.
Because of that, Jason couldn't help but smile inwardly, imagining how devastated and shocked the Dwarves in their base must be right now.
After all, it was unlikely for a Beast God to appear, and stop near their base.
Yet, while the others were screaming internally, he was quite calm.
His Divine eyes told him that the Mana Beast God had no intention of attacking him.
On the contrary, it was rather intrigued by him which Jason could sense based on the dense mana currents that infiltrated his body, trying to search for the secrets of his existence.
[You…are a Celestia halfling? The Halfling of a Primordial…to think that I will witness something like this... And your genetics have been altered thousands of times…]
The voice of a young woman suddenly resounded in his mind, reverberating through his entire body.
This would have startled him under normal circumstances, and caused him to flinch, but because he was not able to move, it was simply impossible.
With that in mind, Jason could neither say something nor answer the Beast God, who had spoken to him.
After all, his mana fluctuations were also restricted.
Yet, Jason could tell what the Mana Beast God meant.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Owing to his bonds with the souls of other beasts, they were bound to him, and thus a part of him.
This influenced his genetics to a marginal degree.
However, it was possible to sense the tiny changes, which was exactly what the Mana Beast God did.
And it was exactly this that confused the Mana Beast God as impurities were what the Celestia race hated the most, even more so in their bloodline.
That was also the reason why Celestias were divided into several groups owing to the purity of their blood. Some of these included being tarnished by impurities of mana they absorbed, heavy influence of emotions such as hatred, wrath and sadness, and many more factors that could influence the purity and holiness of the Celestia race.
The Mana Beast God knew about this the best.
After all, it was an existence that rivaled the Celestia race in their supremacy over the control of mana.
Some existences were sure that the Celestia race had a stronger control over mana, while others said that the Mana Beast God was the ultimate sovereign when it came to the control of mana.
However, in the end, it was not as simple as that.
Unable to control any affinities, the supremacy over mana itself might lay within the Mana Beast God.
But even that had its limitations.
Nevertheless, in the end, Jason's fully unleashed Celestia aura had attracted the Beast God's interest.
Jason's Celestia aura was transmuted and far from ordinary.
However, it didn't mean that it was weaker than the ordinary Celestia aura.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})On the contrary, owing to his partially merged bloodline, the soul world played a big role in altering the Celestia aura.
This was the reason for the female Mana Beast God to take a look at Jason, first with its mana perception, only to witness how Jason nearly killed a Demi God despite being clearly unable to control all of his affinities yet.
As he was an impure being in the eyes of the Celestia race, the Mana Beast God presumed Jason had no one to teach him, which made everything he was capable of doing even more interesting.
But the change in his appearance that further transformed his Celestia aura was the most interesting in her opinion.
Thus, instead of focussing on killing anyone, it wanted to see more from the youth.
He made her act, feeling like the mundane life was finally starting to become more interesting.
There were lots of things a Beast God had to do, including the fight against other Gods that wanted to gain the title of the one and only Beast God.
However, even that became boring as most beasts gave up on the coveted title 'Mana' Beast God.
Not many beasts with the Maest cultivation path and zero affinity existed to begin with, even less that had the necessary talent to ascend to godhood.
As such, it was quite interesting to come across Jason, an existence that should not exist.
Yet, this unique existence didn't answer her, even after she waited for several minutes, confusing her a lot.
It was only after some time that realization struck her, leading the Mana Beast God to create a small isolation bubble of mana around Jason before creating a small pipeline of mana between the two of them.
Through this, she wanted to tell him what she just did, thinking that he didn't sense it.
But even before the Beast God did something, a thread of mana shot out from Jason precisely passing through the pipeline as he smiled lightly before speaking to the Beast God.
[Hello…Milady] Jason greeted her, uncertain how to address the Beast God, and she came up with a solution for him.
[Just call me Mana Beast God, Milady sounds odd.]
Nodding his head, Jason started to answer the question he had been asked,
[Ok, Mana Beast God…to answer in a simplified manner, yes, I am a Celestia halfling.
But I am not affiliated with them. To be precise, I don't really like them.
Maybe my father is fine, but too many bad things happened to my mother because of them, and I could be born only because the Chaos Emperor had helped me out…sigh, what a trouble all of this was]
Shaking his head, Jason couldn't help but feel quite good to finally be able to move.
He didn't feel like holding back on exposing a few secrets of his as it might prove to be beneficial for him.
The Mana Beast God seemed quite reasonable, and until now, she was quite nice to him.
[So you have seen your father? Who is he? And how come I never noticed your existence… you must have come here not too long ago…]
It was obvious that the Mana Beast God was interested in his existence. As such, Jason decided to thank her for preventing the Centipede Demi God from attacking him by answering her questions.
[My father is Celestia Yaldra, and I saw him through his mana imprint that I inherited from my mot-...]
Jason was not even able to finish his thoughts as he got interrupted by a slightly astonished voice.
[Did you say that Celestia Yaldra is your father?! That…is more interesting than I thought…So was it because of you that he nearly turned into an…no probably not….I guess.
He is not someone who is capable of showing emotions, to begin with…]
