"Something within Jason seals his bloodline, and he has no idea what exactly it is. Apparently, it has to do with his mother, but that doesn't make sense to me….
He doesn't even know what kind of race the Celestias are either..."
Wisse simply exposed everything Jason had told him in secret without caring about anything, but that was exactly what Jason had expected.
Since Wisse had mentioned his master, Jason was fully aware that Wisse didn't have the authority to make his own decision.
This was only logical because every being below the age of 50 was seen as a youngling, and that was according to the common race's perspective.
Higher ranked races had probably an ever higher age limit to decide whether someone was still a child or had already matured.
In the end, this didn't matter, and it was only Wisse's helplessness that had caused Jason to smile when he had left the apartment.
Wisse was not sure what he should do with the halfling, but somehow he'd felt obliged to help, now that Jason had revealed his secrets to him.
'Just what kind of mess have I jumped into?' He cursed himself inwardly, only to hear that his master had forcefully suppressed her shock.
"If possible, bring him to me… According to what you said, he never left Argos.
As such, he doesn't know what kind of trouble it will cause if he tells other races that he is a halfling of the Celestia race…
Either they will revere him, or they will try to dissect him...maybe they would even sell him to other races as a slave, who knows?
Maybe, we will be able to calm down the chaos if we help Jason to grow...or we might somehow intensify it…nobody knows…"

"If you think that we cannot trust Jason, kill him... Right now you can still stop him, and if you don't trust him, or think that he is evil, don't hesitate!"
Even though his master told him that, Wisse couldn't help but smile dryly.
"Evil...this naive youth? Master...let me be honest...if Jason is evil, I wouldn't know if there are any kind beings in the universe…"
Wisse was exaggerating right now, but his opinion about Jason's ideals was extremely high.
He had heard some rumors about Jason, the halfling, even before he had encountered him!
As such, Wisse was fully aware of what Jason had to face and overcome the moment his existence had been exposed to the world.
Wisse's life hadn't been easy either, and it was only because of his master that he had become the person he was now.
However, Jason had achieved everything on his own.
Having asked the young man many questions, Wisse had been able to comprehend how Jason's life must have been.
Yet, at the question of whether his identity had already been exposed before the liberation tournament, Jason had only smiled lightly while revealing that he had indeed exposed himself.
This had a deeper meaning as he had been lecturing the human race about the entire truth of Argos and the insignificance of their race.
Because of all the information Wisse received, he couldn't believe that Jason was still determined to protect the race that had wanted his death, and that he wouldn't change his mind, even if he would attempt to persuade him.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})In the end, their opinion had changed about Jason, but Wisse was still astonished about the young halfling.
"Even after what he has overcome, Jason wants to prevent another infiltration of other races in Argos, while helping the Olympus federation to make ties with the human race that had abandoned him when he needed their trust the most.
So..yes, I think we can trust him."
Even though Wisse couldn't be certain of Jason's trust this was not problematic yet.
Furthermore, his master would still be stronger than Jason once they encountered each other.
At least it was unlikely for Jason to suddenly become much stronger, allowing him to break through several stages at once!
The possibility was even less in the short time it took to use the multitude of world bridges to emerge on Tagran!
At that moment, the connection of the emergency long-distance messenger crystal started to dim, indicating that the time for which they could talk was coming to an end.
As such, Liea made her final decision, while avoiding revealing that she was both afraid and curious about Jason, the halfling of the human and Celestia race!
"According to your words, I can be relatively reassured that there won't be an issue for the time being.
That means as long as he doesn't turn into an Infernal Celestia, everything should be fine...
All right, help him as quickly as possible and return to Tagran with him. I feel like a storm is brewing up, and I don't want something to happen to you!"
Wisse nodded his head before he bid farewell to his master as the connection with her was cut off.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Only a moment later, the tension in Wisse's body was released at once as he looked at his trembling hands.
"Aren't I a true dragon? How come I'm so afraid of the future? Shouldn't I be hopeful?"
While Wisse was trying to return to his old, confident and prideful self, ignoring the devastating facts Jason had revealed to him without batting an eye, the liberation tournament had already continued.
There were only six participants left, and Jason was one of them.
His cultivation base was the weakest, but that was not important as his strength was the highest.
Yet, instead of focusing on the last two fights he would have to win in order to be rewarded the lesser origin flame crystal, Jason's mind was somewhere else, far away from his physical being.
Jason was currently thinking about Wisse's reaction after he had revealed the fact that he originated from the Celestia race, at least, he owed half of his origin to it.
While trying to make sense of the reaction and the answer Wisse had given to the questions he had asked, Jason didn't even notice that everyone was called into the arena.
The first fight would start soon, and now only one fight would be held at a time, allowing the spectators to focus on each fight.
Normally the liberation tournament's final fights would be recorded and analysed.
However, that had already happened with the first battle royale Jason had fought in.
His fight had been the most interesting to analyse for the Olympus federation's academies because it had been the most exciting part of the entire battle royale.
The other rounds of the battle royale had also been recorded, and they would most likely be used in order to evaluate the God's children's strengths and weaknesses.
Jason would normally be interested about how exactly the Olympus federation would evaluate and analyse everything, but that was not something he could be bothered about right now.
"Chaos dragon...Tagran....takes care of halflings with talent and repulsive energies...Wisse's reaction when I told him about my origin… Celestia race...soul fraction of a mysterious beast with the chaos attribute within me…"
Blurting everything that was on his mind helped Jason to momentarily ease his troubled mind, but it was extremely confusing.
As such, he tried to distract himself by fighting against his opponent with all his might.
Fusing with Petri, Jason simply utilized everything except the abyssal effect of his Emperor Eyes in order to strengthen himself, while weakening his opponent.
Unfortunately, fusing with Petri and using his curses to the fullest while exerting Solaris' flame without restraint helped him defeat the dragonewt he had been paired to fight against in their first clash.
Karn had been much stronger than the dragonewt he was matched against, and Jason could only sigh, thinking that he should have been paired against someone like Xyna.
With that, he would be able to distract himself, and have no time to think about the bulk of information Jason had yet to digest.
Despite his hope, Jason had been betrayed by the last fight of the liberation tournament.
His opponent was a Hran at the 9th Lique stage, which was extremely high for a descendant of a common race, on the mana scarce planet Argos.
This caused Jason to be slightly happy which made him use the exact same tactic he had utilized in the fight before.
A fusion with Petri, his curses fully utilized, and Solaris' unrestrained flames enveloping the black scales that had a golden veinlike pattern on them.
Without holding back, Jason had exerted the Floating Sky movement technique, which caused his terrifyingly high speed to increase further, only to reach the Hran a moment after the final battle had started.
After that Solaris flame devoured the prodigy of the Hran race, and slowly burned him, only for an elder to intervene. If not for the elder Hran who had prevented Jason, who was eager to fight someone strong, his descendant would have met his death at Jason's hands.
As such, the final ended before it even began, with an extremely disappointing result for the spectators, and even more so Jason. Dejected that the fight ended so soon, he could only dissolve Petri's fusion as he looked at Jarid and Xyna who stared at him in shock.
'Maybe it is really time to think about leaving Argos…'
