Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092

Vohnvolt was bewildered by the words Actuass had just said. For a second, he thought he heard wrong, but as Actuass continued to speak, he realised that the man meant what he had just said.

"I have come to save you mother. After all these years, I've finally managed to reach you. I am here now," Actuass said.

Vohnvolt's sockets nearly exploded with flame as he looked at the necromancer, and then hesitantly looked at the figure above them.

'...What?' he asked himself.

Strangely though, there was no sense of elation or urgency in Actuass' tone as he spoke. In fact, he almost seemed to say these words hesitantly, as though he didn't mean them.

This confused Vohnvolt all the more, as did the fact that no response came from the gigantic figure above them. Heck, there wasn't even a response from the many individuals bowing before it. They all seemed to not care that there were visitors in their abode.

Yet, Actuass did not seem to be impatient for an answer.

He waited, his eyes unblinking.

Only after a full minute passed did a reply finally come, carried by a voice that seemed to belong to choir of gifted female bards.

As Vohnvolt shook, so did Actuass, but not because he was caught off guard by the beauty and intensity of the voice. He seemed to tremble in fury instead.

To his dismay, the figure he had addressed said nothing more.

This was when even his centuries worth of patience failed him and he bared his fangs.

"Is that it, then? You still won't even acknowledge me? After all I've done to get here," he said, his voice growing sharper.

No response came again, and Actuass ground his teeth. He couldn't help but think that what The feared was coming true. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

What he had hoped wasn't true.

"I never imagined attaining powers beyond belief would turn you into this passive introvert. All that talk about making ideas come true, yet here you are. You acknowledge nothing. You say nothing. You do nothing!" he barked.

No response came for a while, but then the gigantic figure seemed to draw a little closer.

Unlike Vohnvolt who felt every part of him pulse as though it were a heart, Actuass did not shirk away from the approach of the Deitess Suzamete.

Indeed, it was. The maker of the skies.

If he had listened to his instincts, Actuass might have quivered in fright, but he had long prepared his mind for this interaction.

As the voice of Suzamete came, Actuass had already begun laughing before she even finished her sentence.

And then his eyes, pouring faint lilac blood, turned dark.

"Meaningless? You say there was no meaning in what I had to live through till now? There was no meaning in my grief when I saw those Aspiring to Divine mercenaries take you away from me? There was no meaning to my sorrow when I was left alone thinking you were going to perish to die in the most unfulfilling way possible, the very antithesis to what you believed in?!" Actuass barked.

"Was there no meaning in all the decades I spent after that looking for a way to reach you, mother? Do you know what I had to give up in order to get a chance at reincarnating in a world that was closest to you?! I experienced death once! I felt the fibres of my very soul shatter inch by inch and traverse an immeasurable distance to find you! Was there no meaning in that?!"

Actuass felt his body which was close to shattering bind together. His rage motivated it. The aching of his soul empowered it.

It wouldn't break until he was done here.

Surely, the deal he made with that perverse Priest back on his home world in order to be reborn somewhere close to where his mother would be, hadn't been all for naught.

The treasures he had acquired, all equipped with a way to track his mother's very soul in the expansive void, all exorbitantly expensive... Surely, they hadn't been for naught.

Starting life again as an infant centuries and discovering to his utter joy that his mother was on Aigas... Surely that was not for naught!

Actuass' body seemed to burn. Literally.

"Does it not matter to you how many evils I did on this world to grab your attention? How many of your people I killed. I hoped the millions I sacrificed would be enough to drag you from your perch in the sky, but no. I had to do more evil and get here myself. You just waited and watched," he said.

Once again, there was no response.

Vohnvolt no longer knew how to feel.

Even his thought phantoms were at a loss.

To think Actuass was...
