60: The deal

"I…my decision.."

Karan wanted to curse himself out for being this oblivious. Of course, Minerva had found out about his connections.

First of all, Minerva was a shrewd lady. It would be foolish of Karan to think of her as anything but cunning.

Then there was the fact that Minerva was the oldest goddess.

Being the oldest, she held a great advantage over everyone else. She had practically seen all the other gods and goddesses grow up and embrace their powers.

And then there was her intuition. It was unlike anything Karan had ever seen. She could just look at you and know your deepest, darkest desire.

Karan was about to answer her when he felt that happen.

The abyss erupted with power beneath their feet.

But that was not all. Somewhere in this tower, a great surge of power was converging. It felt like a curious mixture of the abyssal and bestial energy.

It almost felt like a divine power. But it was much stronger than Karan had ever felt before.
