Chapter 654 Can I Handle It?

Chapter 654 Can I Handle It?

Nial was not sure where Damian's confidence had come from, but the Late God of Darkness was 100% certain that it would take an eternity before he would meet Hoert.
It was very unlikely that his family and beloved would still be alive after an eternity. Their descendants were likely to be alive, but Nial was mostly worried about his beloved ones. That was the whole reason why he had focused on becoming stronger.
Thus, he had been a little stupefied for a while after the Late God of Darkness told him that he didn't have to pay too much attention to Hoert's existence, not at this moment at least.
It was a surprise, but certainly not something Nial disliked too much.
When Nial and the Undying encountered Hoert's presence for the first and only time, both had been shocked to the core. The Undying had also given his utmost effort to become stronger as quickly as possible.
That had been necessary to create the Veil Guardians and protect his planet. However, at the same time, it was a matter of fact that the Undying was still not strong enough to fight Hoert.
The Pryard were simply too strong for someone of a small Universe such as theirs to defeat. With that in mind, Nial and the Undying would have to come up with a way to consistently refine their Divinity while making sure that they would stay alive, and built a family, or do something else that will allow them to stay conscious of the incoming danger in the vast future.
They had to keep getting stronger to make sure that they would be able to handle the Pryard such as Hoert.
As for the last Advocate of the Pryard in the Universe, Nial knew that he had to get rid of him as soon as possible. There was simply no other way. The Advocate had to be removed from the Universe by any means, even if that meant half of the Universe would have to fall. That was how dangerous the Advocate of the Pryard was.
A single move of the Advocate was enough to stir enough trouble that the Universe's existence would be endangered. That was what Nial figured, and it was also the reason why Damian told him to fight everyone who dares to obstruct his path. The final battle was approaching and Nial had to get ready.
Thanks to the memories of the Late God of Darkness, he knew what the Advocate of the Pryard looked like, and what his race was. Unfortunately, while that might actually be helpful to hunt the Advocate of the Pryard, the Advocate was actually one of the most popular Ancients Nial had gotten to know.
In fact, the Ancient who seemed to be the Advocate of the Pryard was not particularly strong. At least, he didn't reveal too much of his strength in the past and seemed to be hiding most of his true power. That didn't mean he was acting pitifully weak but that the powers he had been granted from betraying his Ancient race and the Universe, had been hidden well.
That meant Nial was not even sure how strong the Advocate had become after eons had passed since the Late God of Darkness fought the last Adovcate the last time.
But even if the Advocate was actually weak, the attention and favor he had gained from most races were way too high to ignore for someone like Nial. In fact, the Advocate was even popular with Abandoned Children.
Most of the Abandoned Children had been abandoned by their own even race. Some had even been hunted because their powers were much stronger, but also vastly different from the racial traits of the race they had been birthed to. Most Ancients and Primordials were focused on the purity of their bloodline. Nial knew that the reason for their focus was justified, even though the means they used were certainly not.
Their reason to fear or even hate mutations in their bloodlines was because most Ancients and Primordials with mutations would either die or go insane, ending up wreaking havoc. That was why most of them chose to abandon those children, or even hunt them down to eradicate the threat they posed immediately.
Nial thought that this was bullshit, and the Advocate of the Pryard was saying the exact same out loud. He gained the trust of most Abandoned Children that way, even if a few Ancients and Primordials began to frown upon him.
Nial also knew that there were many powerful races that loathed members of Ancient races and Primordial races. Most of these races would never dare to offend the Ancients and Primordials because these would easily be able to eradicate those other races.
However, the Advocate was different. He was liked by the majority of races because he was kind and generous, giving them specific pieces of advice whenever their progress as a whole race began to stagnate.
If Nial hadn't seen the true side of the Advocate in the Late God of Darkness' memories, he would have never believed that this popular Ancient was actually the Advocate he had to kill….that this piece of shit had actually stolen his eyes, leaving him blind…that such a terrifying person could easily hide in the Universe, acting as if he was a Samaritan after obliterating Nial's entire race.
Nial didn't even want to imagine what else the Advocate had done to the Universe while acting as if he was the best person in the vast expanse of the Universe.
He couldn't help but sight while listening to the last words of the Late God of Darkness.
[As long as you can kill the Advocate of the Pryard, you will be fine, and so will your people and everyone else!]
For others, these words may not be important, but Nial felt that their meaning was much more than what one could see at the first glance.
Damian had just told Nial that his last mission was to kill the Advocate of the Pryard and that, as long as he can handle the aftermath well, everything would be fine.
But the question that flashed through his mind in response to this mission was pretty obvious as well.
'Will I be able to handle it?'
