Eyes of Truth

Luminos was killed by Ikaros. A sword made of metal had killed a God. If this was to leak outside it would cause an uproar.

So silently Lumina took Luminos's place while maintaining contact with the outside world on account of the summation of all the past events that had occurred.

When a god steps on the Land many things happen.

When Lumina was still an apostle of the God Luminos.

She stepped on the lands below to see the world for itself.

And it lead to the creation of a huge kingdom. Chroma.

But even in Chroma there were many missing links to be solved. And the biggest one of them was the presence of the stone which had enveloped the entire kingdoms within its Jaws. And was forcing them to be reincarnated. For years on end.

It is still unclear about how the time outside and inside would scale. But one thing was clear that they broke one of the world's most well defined rules.

The dead cannot exist.

Normally for a person would be alive for 70 which is the average on Earth but the mortality rate was much higher in this world. And at one point there would come a time where everyone would be supposed to have expired. But due to the stone of Chronos they were stuck in a timeloop.

And as soon as the loop ended. When Jay broke the stone I to pieces it reverted every persons age to the original. Which meant that when the kingdom was destroyed with all of its inhabitants were killed. And that's how the entire kingdom got itself killed.

But there was a question that arose. All the sousla dntheir consciousness were tethered to the kingdom unable to move anywhere.

And this even went unnoticed by the gods as a clever trick by the Immortals.

But there arises another complication when was the tether established. And what role did the God's play in the establishment of the tether. Did they at one point cooperate with one another.

Such are the inconsistencies which still arose and that's what troubled Jay. But now Lumina was here maybe there could have been some answers. But there were more pressing matters ahead of him.

Lumina :

My Eyes of Truth see through everything. You think that I won't know that you stole the power of a god.

Her eyes glowed with an iridiscent glow. For a short while

The war could got to hell for what she believed. But she was under the impression that both of them could be spies of the immortals. Pretending to fight on the side.

Maybe eliminate some key figures. She had no way of knowing what had happened on the island.

Lumina :

I will take back the powers you have stolen.

Her eyes started twitching wildly. Indicating something was amiss.

Lumina :

Impossible to think the deduction that I have made is wrong.

What is wrong.

Lumina :

Eyes of Truth open once more and show me the truth that lies within both of them.

The eyes of Truth stared at both of them.

It saw their faces, complexion, their arms, the rate at which the veins had spread.

It had sent the visual data to the brain where it had processed another outcome which it had seen at first but was seen now as unprecedented.

An outcome which Lumina had bet against.

Lumina :

This was not the outcome I was hoping for. But the eyes of Truth has once again seen through all.

Lumina :

In truth your powers don't come from stealing if it were, you might have already died from the grudge of the respective god. Or the jewel would never have dissipated into your arm like nothing.

You are not lying about the power but rest of your words are very shaky. And it just looks like you tried to make up for them.

Lumina :

You also don't seem to be fighting with those scoundrels but against them.

And when I first enshrined myself in this body. You seemed to be conflicted Instead of being surprised .

It seems you knew what had happened.

Her deductions without bias were hitting on the bullseye mark very spot on. The working of the eyes of Truth were different somehow.

Instead of revealing the truth. She seemed to be making deductions and maximizing or even over clocking her visual information that reaches to her brain. And this visual information contains every information about the surrounding picture that has been imprinted. It might be contain the micro seat that I'm sweating.

And the brain is the made to process this new information and compare to the original information. And finally introduces logic and facts and then you get a deduction.

This method could introduce strain in the brain but since she is a apostle made God I think she can handle the truth.

Lumina :

You dont seem to be the apostles. And I also don't recall both of them having new apostles.

Lumina :

By the amount of blessing or the power granted to you doesn't seem to be that big from the Goddess.

Lumina :

While the power given to him is almost monstrous. It is surprising for me that you are able to absorb it. But it doesn't seem like you have taken everything a lot of power is still lying dormant.

This much power isn't even given to the apostles.

It meant only one thing that Jay once again considered.

That his strength has to come from two sources. The first would be the jewel itself which had now completely vanished leaving only a trace in the form of a henna like tattoo. And red veins originating from that point slipping past the shoulders and disappearing.

Lumina :

My eyes have deduced that you are allies at least for the time being.

Lumina :

Even the purest vessel which can house a god is somewhat lacking. I'm requiring your assistance.

There was no chance of both of them denying the request.

Still weighing their words they accepted. Since they were fighting on the same for the time being.

Lumina :

I will share some of my power with you. With this you can use some of my abilities.

Lumina pressed onto both of their wrists and new veins started to form this time they were light yellow but exuded somewhat of a glow.

Jay was determining that how much power was left in him.

Which was lying dormant. He could use the power urgently.

As the veins increased in their arms. And Lumina's power poured into both of them
