Janus appeared in front of a majestic mansion that was surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and a towering wrought iron gate. The mansion exuded an air of opulence and grandeur, with its large columns and intricate architectural details.
The entire neighborhood was under the ownership of a single person, and right in the heart of this community stood the grand mansion. It boasted the reputation of being the most securely secure place on earth, with an extensive network of security personnel strategically stationed throughout the entire area.
As soon as Janus appeared before the Mansion, many snipers had taken an aim on his head. However, none of them pulled the trigger as they recognised Janus as a family friend
Moreover, they weren't surprised with the fact that Janus had appeared out of thin air. Most of the security personnel had already become accustomed to such a scene. Moreover, they were also one of the rare few people whose memories hadn't been erased.
Although Janus didn't look behind, but he could already see the snipers and their aim.
He stepped forward to enter the mansion, the guards opening the door for him. However, before he could enter, he heard the sound of roaring engines.
He glanced around, noticing a sports car arriving from the he heard the sound of roaring engines.
He glanced around, noticing a sports car arriving from the distance. The sports car stopped right at the entrance of the mansion, the door opening.
"Uncle Janus," a young man stepped out of the mansion, a pleasing smile on his face.
"Nyx." Janus muttered, his heart feeling heavy. Just like he had seen Caen since his childhood, it was the same for Nyx.
He had seen Nyx just recently, but this time, things were different. His heart was filled with great burden since he had to take the life of the young boy.
He could easily do that at the moment, but the biggest problem was the father of the young man. If he was careless, then even if he killed Nyx, Caen was going to die.
"What are you doing outside? Come on in. Father will be happy to see you." Janus tossed the key to one of the Guards, leaving him to park the car inside the mansion.
At the same time, he tapped Janus' shoulder, as if telling him to follow inside.
Janus trailed behind Nyx, his heart in turmoil. Looking at Nyx's back, he couldn't help but feel as if he was back in the past with Ryder walking before him.
All his emotions were in a mess, his mind going through the long years he accompanied Ryder on earth.
Although he never entered earth at that time, he had always been supporting a mere mortal, guiding him through the journey of becoming stronger.
The mere mortal was the reincarnation of Chaos, his brother. With Janus' guidance, Ryder had walked on the path of slowly covering the journey from mortality to divinity.
Janus had been extremely careful throughout this time to make sure that the Gods who had killed Chaos didn't find out about the existence of the reincarnation known as Ryder.
It was with Janus' guidance that Ryder collected the Ability Stones that Chaos had left behind in preparation for the right time.
Through that long and complicated journey, Janus had come to understand Ryder, realizing that although Ryder was the reincarnation of his brother, he was different at his core.
He wasn't just the shadow of his brother. Instead, Ryder had a life of his own. He had experience of his own. He had relations on earth, he had his own thinking and his own learnings.
Once the majority of ability stones were gathered, it was time for Chaos to take control of the reincarnated body. However, Chaos also understood that taking over Ryder's life was no different than taking his life away.
Chaos used the ability stones to separate himself from Ryder, without taking over Ryder. And thus, Chaos and Ryder became two different beings with one origin, similar to Karyk and Gabriel yet different in many ways.
Following his separation, Chaos left earth to finish the task that was left pending with his death. He collected the remaining ability stones that he had created before, and completed the Bracelet of Immortality.
Chaos also brought the Goddess of Reincarnation back to life, who later became his wife and gave birth to Caen.
After he was ready, Chaos single-handedly waged war on the Realm of Gods, destroying half the gods in the process, forcing the rest to flee.
The battle also took a heavy toll on Chaos when the Origin God who created the universe appeared before Chaos to stop him.
With no other option, Chaos used the Bracelet of Immortality as a Sword, sealing the Origin God inside. Unfortunately, to hold the Origin God in und seal, Chaos also had to seal himself.
Ever since then, there was no information about the whereabouts of the two and the Bracelet of Immortality, no matter how much Janus searched.
By now, Janus had almost lost hope of ever finding the Bracelet of Immortality. Janus had experienced a devastating loss— his brother was gone. Adding to the weight of his grief, he couldn't save his brother's wife either.
In this sea of heartache, the sole remaining connection he had to his sibling was Caen, a relationship he cherished and was determined to preserve.
Even if he had to betray Ryder and kill Nyx, he was willing to do it. .
Nyx led Janus to the main door of the house. He opened the door, revealing the luxurious interior.
"Uncle, are you alright? You seem a little distressed?" Nyx asked Janus, even without looking back.
Just like his father, he was also a god with Divinity of his own. Moreover, thanks to his father possessing the abilities of another Origin God, he was also born with abilities that not many held.
Although he couldn't read Janus' mind, but he could feel that his Uncle's heart was in turmoil.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Nyx asked, seriously trying to help.
"When the time comes..." Janus replied, his words vague.
