Chapter 1117 Accidental Meeting
Seeing her power, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
It was a little different than what he remembered. It was less destructive, a disappointment.
Remembering her power back then, Rokarn feel his heart beat in nervousness.
'Can she even fulfil the promise now…' He thought to himself before closing his eyes.
Back then, he was just a low tier god of death. But after meeting her, he later became the Demi God of Chaos and Destruction.

Crashing against the ground, a young man rolled a few times before jumping back on his feet.
He wore a single metal gauntlet that protected his right arm, a tattered waist cloth, a pair pants and a pair of boots.
The man had no shirt on, revealing his muscles that are decorated with black tattoo's. The tattoo's themselves mostly resembled flames that curled around his body without a start or end. Strangely enough, this tattoo would always seem different to the eyes.
Scratching his black hair, the young man looked around him and furrowed his brows in confusion.
"Where am I now… I thought the portal should have taken me to the closest temple of worship." He muttered while stretching his body.
Dusting the dirt away, he started to explore this place so that he could guess where he was.
The place that he had arrived in was akin to a private garden. Exotic plants, herbs and carefully cultivated fruit tree's could be spotted as white marbled archways decorated the path.
Sending his senses out, he noticed that it was blocked by a small barrier of sorts. Just as he was about to break past this barrier, he felt the core of a fruit hit him on the head.
Furrowing his brows, he looked towards the direction of where the core came from and paused in surprise.
Sitting on top of a white archway was a white haired woman who had a charming smile on her face. Her ruby eyes stared at him while she placed a finger over her lips.
"Don't break that barrier now. If you do, you'll alert them." The young woman warned with a small chuckle. She wore a white dress with gold markings and small jewellery's such as bracelets and necklaces.
Jumping down from the archway, she snapped her finger and activated a small spell.
Slowly, a vine appeared on the closest tree and brought two fruits to her.
"I don't know how you got here but there aren't many who can sneak into this garden without notice. Considering your aura had your strength, you must have gotten here by coincidence. Little Demi God, take this fruit as a reward and go back to where you come from." She smiled while throwing a fruit towards the young man.
Catching it, he raised an eyebrow before looking at the fruit.
Taking a bite, he could feel divine energy flow through his body and enhance his physique to the next level.
Blinking his eyes in surprise, he looked back at the woman who was now walking away.
"Hey wait! Who are you!?" He called out while chasing after her.
"It's not important. It's not like I'll be seeing you again. Ah also, don't be greedy for the other fruits. If you try to pick them without the right technique you'll be fried." The woman laughed while shuddering at the last thought, indicating that she had failed before.
"Now then, let me track your divinity back to the right place." She smiled. Waving her finger, a tether appeared from his chest and started to thread through the realms. Suddenly, he felt a tug and knew that he was about to be dragged away.
"Can you at least tell me your name?" He asked as the woman contemplated for a moment.
"Sure, if you tell me yours." She smiled.
"Rokarn, Demi God of Death. Now what about you?"
"Pft, I never said I'll follow through with that promise. Goodbye little Demi God." The woman laughed as she waved her fingers.
*BANG!!!
Feeling the tether drag him away, Rokarn couldn't do anything as he was forced out of the garden.
By the time he realised where he was, the garden was no longer in sight nor was that woman.
Sitting on his throne, Rokarn looked down at the fruit in his hand and was silent.
Finishing the fruit, he could clearly feel his body become stronger than ever. His divinity over death was increased to the next level and now he was on par with most gods who also have a divinity level of 2.
Wondering about what kind of garden that was, he couldn't help but lick his lips in greed. If he could get another fruit, he might gain strength equal to the primordials.
For the next few years, he continuously tried to enter that garden again using the energy of the fruit as a guide. However, no matter what he did, that connection never formed. He even started to neglect his duties as a Demi God of Death much to his sisters anger but he didn't care. There were more important matters at hand. Plus, it wasn't as though he's the only Demi God of Death. Others can fill for him.
Placing down his research on the table, he decided to step out for a bit. After so many years of no progress, there wasn't much else for him to do.
Grabbing a black jacket for himself, Rokarn stepped out of his temple and glanced at the hellscape of his domain.
Remembering the garden, he had the urge to redecorate this place but that was an impossibility. Life will wither and die in his domain.
Shaking his head, he opened a portal to the divine realms. This is where most of the gods would gather and discuss matters with the mortal world. Right now, the new age will be happening soon so the gods are trying to make alliances with one another so that they could have a better chance at keeping their position once the new age is over. Of course, if they could get a promotion then that's more than welcome.
Pulling up his hood, his figure seemed to blend in with the environment as no one noticed him.
The divine realms was a neutral zone where most gods are not able to use their abilities against one another unless both sides consented to it. It was a rule put in place by the system and so far, none of the gods have been able to break that.
Looking around, he could see the chosen ones of each god running a small store of sorts, selling resources that might be beneficial to other gods.
Ignoring this, he continued to walk around so that he could find some research on portals and realm travel.
But more than that, he wanted to get some information. If his memory serves him right, there should be an information broker not far from his location. The broker was a god who excelled in information gathering but had little to no combat power.

Feeling someone approach his room, Rokarn stopped thinking about the past and opened his eyes.
Waving his hand, the door to his throne room opened as one of his commanders could be seen kneeling respectfully.
"Master, the army is ready, are we not going to invade yet?" He asked as Rokarn narrowed his eyes.
"No, we will invade at the promised time. Quell the army, if they are anxious they may go ahead of time but anyone who does can forget about coming back." Rokarn said as the commander nodded his head before leaving.
Shutting the door, Rokarn teleported out of his throne room and looked towards Earth.
Seeing the countless satellites that surrounded the planet, he couldn't help but wonder about what had happened for her divinity to become so weak.
It was now nothing but a shadow of its former self and he wasn't sure if she could even fulfil their promise anymore.
If she couldn't, then he can only continue to drift along the passage of time, chained by the system and hailed as the World Ender and bringer of Chaos.
Reaching into his inventory, he pulled out a set of Armour that has been shattered to pieces. This was the result of what the God Slayer had done with a single attack. One move shattered the defences of a Rainbow + grade armour that was described as indestructible by the system.
She had bypassed the threshold and shattered this armour to pieces.
Remembering the power she held in his memories, Rokarn felt anger boil up in his heart as he knew Aria probably did something to her.
This was not the person that he knew.

After Syradil and Revel woke up, Shiro created a training room for the both of them. It was the same one that she had made for Glen but this time the energy consumption was much higher than expected since it was trying to contain two beings that were near the peak of tier 6.
However, after researching the crystals, Shiro was now able to link these rooms with her anchor so that it didn't require her to fuel everything by herself.
Creating an avatar to help Revel while she helped Syradil, Shiro proceeded to train the both of them at the same time while Nan Tian helped with the others in preparation for the raid.
