×Chapter 13×Face to face

~~~~

Still within the cave Mars was thinking of what to do for the giant king, he couldn't really think of anything good, his current supply of pills would be useless, he wondered if waking him up would be a sufficient reward.

Really and truly it would probably be a great reward to just put him out of his misery once and for all, you know, let him be with his wife and daughter in the after thoughts after all the suffering he endured those many years ago.

."Maybe I should...nah maybe not."Mar really contemplated about just killing him here but after going through the giants memory he gained a little sympathy for the poor big bastard, not a lot but a little bit which is enough.

After a bit of deliberation Mars decided to let him wake up in one years time as the reward, it wasn't really a big deal for him but he at least wanted to get something out of it, he is selfish like that.

What he wanted to do was simple, he will rejuvenate the last sliver of consciousness in the Giant King and have a little talk with him, with that plan in mind he began.

Mars eyes flashed red he swiped his finger in the air gently like writing a book, many different symbols appeared in the air as his aura started to expand at a rapid rate, space itself rippled like water.

*Boom*!!!

With a loud bang an echo travel throughout the cave caused by Mars expanding aura, as if reaching a threshold his eye color shifted and glowed golden, he placed his palms together as if praying, the symbols attracted to his palm like a magnet.

Soon the symbols formed into one, it read "R" just "R" in rainbow like colors, gently pointing his hand towards the giant the "R" floated to his finger tips, the power that came off was extraordinary.

.""RETURN""."Mars shouted, he used all his body's energy and some energy from his soul putting great strain on his body, his expression was serious.

*ZiIiIiIili*!!!

The rainbow "R" was released from his finger tips, it entered the giants body instantly bypassing the crystal, it was like it wasn't even there, like it didn't exist at all.

Silence reigned for some time, from the outside looking in it appeared as though nothing happened, Mars on the other hand could sense it all, the giant's soul is being revived or more like re-energized and healed.

The technique he just used was a little trick he learned by watching a great healing in the ancient past out of boredom.

He in his observation saw that no matter how powerful the Cultivator, Healer or Herbalist they are never able to heal an injured soul, there exist only two ways to heal an soul injury, one is to be lucky enough to find a pill which would be of the highest divine grade, or by using your own soul's energy.

But one problem with the last one is that not everyone is capable of using it or even have the courage to try as it is dangerous, to use the energy of ones own soul is comparable to suicide, any slight mishap and that person would suffer a backlash that could kill them or if lucky cripple them.

Not everyone is powerful enough to use their soul energy and even if they were able to, the amount of soul energy needed to even heal the soul of a mortal is enough to kill even a God.

It's not about the power of the soul it's more about the material the soul is made of, any healing is done by overloading the regenerative ability of the body thus basically healing itself.

The soul possess absolutely zero regenerative ability for its material essence, to heal a soul you literally have to give some of your own soul to fill in the place of the injury.

Unfortunately too much soul energy is needed to take a a piece of soul, contruct the plain material without information and patch the injury from scratch, not even the Gods dare do it.

Mars on the other hand is another matter entirely, as a Four Direction OmniGod his soul energy is basically limitless, he had no fear of running out and dying, an OmniGod can be scattered but never killed.

*BOOM*!!!

*Whooshh*!!!

While Mars was in his thoughts a loud bang followed by strong winds brought him back to reality, he narrowed his eyes and looked up towards the First Giant King who was now standing.

All that ruckus he heard was from the crystal exploding, the giant stood upright with its eyes still close.

Suddenly it's eyes opened, instead of deep wisdom and divine intelligence usually shown by one who has surpassed mortality, he instead had only rage and madness in his mind, the giant raised both his hands and slammed down with it's full might unintentionally aimed at the location Mars is standing.

*Whooshh*!!!!

Mars seeing the large building like fist heading for him didn't even flinch, all he did was open his mouth."Stop."He said calmly.

So said so done the First Giant King froze inches away from Mars face, he looked as though he was struggling, Mars took a step back, put his finger on one of the fist of the giant, as if hit by a storm the Giant Kings body was thrown back onto the wall of the cave knocking him out cold.

."Ah I knew this would happen, luckily I prepared for such an event."Mars nodded his head in appreciation of his foresight, he gazed at the "sleeping" giant king.

What Mars did was as he was healing his soul he foresaw that with what happened to the giant king and seeing the amount of time he had been asleep with a basically desolving soul when he wakes he probably wouldn't be in his right mind.

He put some preparations in place for just that occasion, within the giant is his own soul energy just floating around doing nothing giving him some minor control of his soul and thus his body, he could even implode his soul energy that is in the giant kings body causing the giant kings soul to explode killing him with his own power.

Mars sat on a large piece of the crystal that was scattered around the cave in meditation, he is going to wait for the giant king to regain consciousness by himself, then he'll have a little talk with him.
