Chapter 329 - Reincarnation (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

”Such a hot blooded person.” A voice from behind me said. ”You cannot just wait in one place until I come to find you.”

I braced myself from an attack of ever the one behind me was an enemy. I slowly turned around to who it was.

My eyes went wide when I saw the person that just spoke. He does not have a solid body and seemed like a mirage. Looking at his physical features, long silver hair and eyes, it is undoubted that he is of Atlantian royal blood line.

”It is nice to see you again, young king of Grandcrest.” The man greeted me with a bright smile.

”You... who are you?” I asked out of curiosity. He seemed to be not a threat, but I still kept my guard up just to make sure. I looked around and it was like time had frozen around me. Only me and the man before me are the ones that can move.

”Oh, it is understandable that you do not recognize me.” The man replied. ”The time I met you, I had the feature of an old man. Now I am in my young form.” The man smiled brightly at me once more.

His words puzzled me for a moment, but when I looked at him closely, I remembered the incident the time the fish witch dies. I remember that the soul of the Almighty One came to fetch the fish witch and send her to the after life.

”You... are the Almighty One.” I said with wide eyes.

”That is correct. I told you we will see each other again. But I did not expect that it will be this soon.” The Almighty One smiled. ”You can call me grandpa. You are technically one of my grandchildren.”

I raised an eyebrow debating if I could call someone that young looking as grandpa. He looks like he is my age.

”Well I do not have that much time. This image of me that you see now is just a small part of me that I conjured with. My primary soul is now slowly merging with your wife, together with my magic powers.” The Almighty One said. ”If not for your wife's worries that you will go out of your mind looking for her, I won't come out to meet you like this. Well it was a good decision, seeing that you are frantically searching for her now.”

”My wife?!” I quickly asked. ”Where is she?” I said with a worried look.

”Do not worry. Your wife is now safe at the bottom of the sea, where my body is also laid to rest.” The Almighty One replied.

”The forbidden magic?” I had my guess that the forbidden magic had something to do with the Almighty One, and it looks like my guess is correct.

”You are a smart one. Yes, you are correct.” The Almighty One said. ”The forbidden magic you know of is me and my wifes final resting place, where our bodies were laid to rest so many years ago.”

The explains why such great magic power is said to be burried within that forbidden magic. The mad king sought out that frightening magic in the past and the past might repeat itself today it gets into the wrong hands.

”Then why did you say that your soul and magic power is now merging with my wife?” I asked even though I have an idea why. ”Does that mean... my wife is the chosen one?” My tone was calm when I asked but my heart was thumping rapidly.

Thinking that such destructive and enormous power will be assimilated in my wife's body, I cannot fathom how such a burden will be given to her. Not only that, but many would like to covet the powers she will have, namely her aunt and cousin.

”Your guess is near, but not quite.” The Almighty One smiled. ”The child inside your wife is my reincarnation. His body will house my soul and magic powers.”

Hearing the words of the Almighty One still shocked me, even though I had my guesses.

”Are you saying you will be my son?” I asked with a hint of sarcasm.

”Hahaha, your face tells me that the idea of me being your son irks you.” The Almighty One laughed.

”Well no offense, but it does.” I replied nonchalantly.

”Haha you are very honest, but do not worry....” The Almighty One said. ”I will not be your son technically speaking. My soul will be housed in your son's body, but he will be a different being from me. This consciousness I have right now will fade after my soul have been fully merged within his tiny body that is now inside your wife. Your son will have his own identity different from mine.”

”That is a relief to hear.” I mumbled low.

”Hey, I heard that.” The Almighty One said with an annoyed face. ”Well that aside, the merging of my soul and magic powers will take some time. So, your wife will have to stay here for a while until it has been fully assimilated into your baby.”
