Chapter 111- Project: Origin Society

"Wha…" Eva's mouth opened wide before it closed again as she stared at Kaya speechlessly. She didn't expect to get such a response out of nowhere and that destroyed everything she wanted to say.

"What… What's wrong with you?" She pointed her finger at Kaya with a blushing face. Because of Kaya's nice response, Eva felt ashamed. She was acting childish.

"Hahahaha, my abd, kiddo. I was just glad to see that you're doing well and still as energetic as ever." She said.

'Did this woman hit her head or something? Why is she acting all nice with me?' Eva's mind was in shambles.

"Tsk…" Running her hand through her hair, Eva decided to stop for the time being. "Are you feeling better?" She decided to ask.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I still feel pain in my limbs but other than that, I'm as good as new! Thanks to my darling!" Kaya beamed as she flashed Kai an excited smile. "I'm indebted to you for saving my life. I might not be able to pay you back but I will definitely make this my goal!"

"No need." Kai shook his head coldly as he adjusted his position. "Instead, I want you to tell me. What the hell were you doing in the Frozen Plains with a group of Ascenders?"

The moment Kai asked that question, Kaya's face turned serious. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and straightened her thoughts. The last three days were hellish in every sense of the word. The sheer amount of things that happened to her was mind-blowing.

"Where should I even start?" She murmured.

"From the beginning."

"I understand… Well, it all started after I left for Divinity's HQ. I was sent a red letter by my foster father."

"Foster father?" Kai's eyes squinted as he spoke.

'I've never heard of that. Since when did she have a foster father?' He thought.

"Oh, right. I never told you. Well, when my Orphanage burnt down and I was left alone, the person that found me and took me to Divinity was my foster father. His name is Mikayla Raullot."

"Mikayla Raullot?!" This time, Eva was the first to speak. "You mean that Mikayla? The old patriarch of the Raullot family?!"

"Yes. He's one of the Virtues." Kaya said.

Meanwhile, Kai's expression turned even colder. He did hear of that name. In fact, most people who were involved in the underworld did hear of it. Mikayla Raullot was a monster. In his prime, he was a military general that won any war he got involved in. His individual power was monstrous and he was considered a devil in the eyes of enemies.

However, those people weren't even aware that he was an Origin user and a very strong one at that. Especially his ability with the sword, it was simply ridiculous.

The fact that he was related to Kaya was already huge news let alone the fact that he was actually her foster father.

"Don't worry. He doesn't know that I know you. He trusts me." Kaya said.

"That's not the problem…" Falling into deep thoughts. Kai signaled for Kaya to continue his story. An idea was slowly developing in his head.

"Anyway, when one of the archangels receives a red letter it means that the matter is urgent and could affect the future of Divinity as a whole. However, what my foster father told me was way worse than that."

Kaya's eyes looked uncertain for a second before she shook her head and continued. "As you already know, Divinity believes that the whole world should be able to use Origin, and the ones to rule it are the strongest. However, they can't simply make that happen. They needed to take one step at a time and the first step they decided to take is to create where all Origin users could live, far from the human eye. The project is called 'Origin Society'."

"Origin society…" Kai's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. Of course, that made sense. Turning the whole world into a haven for those with superpowers isn't an easy task. In fact, taking everything into account, it was near impossible.

Origin as a concept is already foreign to the majority of people in the world. So, the wiser choice to go around doing this, as absurd as it may be, is to create a smaller society where the Origin users could live and then start slowly expanding.

'It's still a foolish idea that will only end up in failure. Putting Origin users in the same place is a recipe for disaster no matter how you look at it.'

It didn't take a genius to see what will happen but because of their high egos and clouded racism of superiority, Divinity's higher-ups ignored that. For them, Origin users aren't humans. They are a different, superior race that has the right to control the world.

"Then, that still doesn't explain why you came here." Kai dispersed those thoughts. No point in thinking about what he can't control. Instead, he would prioritize what he knew he can control. That was where true strength lies, in Kai's opinion. It's not strength that determines who comes out the winner, it's how you use that strength and be able to know what you should focus on.

"I still don't know much infor myself. But, I was tasked with arranging an expedition to the Frozen Plains and the goal was to get an object that seemingly was in the heart of this area."

"What kind of object?"

"I don't know. What I know is, it has something to do with Origin. If I have to guess, it might be something that contains an enormous amount of Origin. So enormous that it can contain hundreds of thousands of times the amount of Origin we have in our atmosphere."

"That kind of object exists?" Eva tilted her head in confusion.

"I have no idea. But, the old man… My foster father, I mean. He tasked me with doing this so I'm sure he knows something I don't. He just told me to reach the heart of the Frozen Plains and I shall find what I'm looking for."

"Interesting," Kai murmured to himself. It seems that the rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper the more he tries to dig. He didn't know how deep it will go but he was certain it won't be something pleasant to reach.

"I couldn't refuse this task as it was a red letter. If I did, I will be severely punished since I'm an Archangel. They will also start to investigate me since I never refused a mission before and that could lead them to you, Kai. So, I decided to take it thinking it won't be that big of a deal. I took a group of 20 people, 5 were level 4 ascenders and the rest were level 5 ascenders. The journey here wasn't that hard although the weather was bad. But, by the time we stepped foot in the Frozen Plains, things started to happen… Really bad things." Kaya's face turned grave as she spoke. Just remembering what occurred sent a chill down her spine.

It was a nightmare.
