Solitary Sword Sovereign Part 2

The Way Forward: Will Returns

A seemingly impatient Modus spoke up, "We have a lot to do Will but there isn't much time, so what rewards do you want?"

Will did not hesitate this time and spoke up, "I want the Pure Yang Seed and Hela's key."

Everyone in the room smiled wryly because they all had the same thought, 'Modus predicted it!'

Few people expected Will to make this choice because these things would not give Will immediate benefits and carried risks. The Pure yang Seed needed to be processed to make it into something a Yin Type user like Will could use, while Hela's Key was filled with uncertainties.

Will had no intention of focusing on the mage's path, thus most expected him to choose the Life Force Dan and the Elixir of Water's Embrace. He desperately needed Life Force and he could use the improvement in his water affinity. Being a Water Meister, there was no need to mention the benefits of this.

Modus laughed once again, "See? I told you that no one understands my disciple better than me. Great choice boy. You have made the best choice, trust me."

Adelda also nodded in approval. She understood the logic behind Will's choice.

'The Lifeforce Dan and the Elixir of Water's Embrace might improve his personal power, but the Pure Yang Seed and Hela's Key will assist greatly in the bigger picture.'

"If I'm not mistaken there is one last reward the boy should have no?" said Odin with a cheeky grin.

Will's eyes sparkled in delight.

'My Kiss!'

Before he could confront Adelda about it, the latter spoke, "I will hand you your reward after we finish dealing with the important matters at hand."

Will was not depressed and nodded like a chicken pecking corn. He did not doubt his future wife. She didn't seem like the sort to make such promises lightly. Will took the matter of his first kiss seriously. While he did desire it, now did not feel like the right occasion for such an act.

'She is going to be my future wife! Our first kiss has to be legendary!'

Modus slung an arm around Will's neck casually and said, "Now then, let's discuss the way forward."

The higher beings and Will had an hour-long discussion. It was mainly to ratify what they were doing, who would benefit from what and what Will was required to do. Will was happy that he was allowed to see this discussion because Modus could have simply told him the results. But Modus had insisted that Will had earned the right to at least understand what he gave up his lifespan for.

The discussion resulted in the following. First Will would activate his Centralized Tripartite Partition with Alice, Letty and Duke. Then he would sign a Contract of Equals with Narcissus, Thor and Jingsung Ha. Due to Will's affinity with Metal, Space, Water, Negative Energy, Perspective, Madness and Lightning, Thor was the perfect deity for him. He would still be able to use Odin's Armaments through his connection with Thor as the latter was The Odinson.

Narcissus was a water deity with dominion over nature, beauty, pride, archery, success, power and envy. Son of the River God Cephisus and a Nymph, he was always in tune with nature. Zeus had adopted him as a son and had given him a seat on the high table, due to his overwhelming talent in Intent, but he had not used his talents well at all.

Despite this, his divinities suited Will very well, because Narcissus was a natural hunter blessed with a powerful set of vessels. His body, soul and mind were all quite powerful, which was rare because deities heavily leaned toward one or two vessels. But Narcissus was the closest to being a jack of all trades and master of all in terms of vessels. Which was why his lack of usage of his potential greatly disturbed the other gods.
