Seeing Damien awake, Selene instantly rushed to Damian and held him tightly for long moments before she let go. Damien could see that she badly needed rest. He could easily cure her fatigue and restore her to perfect health but he still needed time to himself. He gave Selene the most reassuring smile before speaking.
"Thank you for waiting on me. You are very tired please go get rest and I'll explain everything to you when you wake."
Selene looked like she wanted to desperately protest but her body wouldn't let her. She ended up only weakly nodding before letting herself be lead away by one of the nurses. This surprised Damien to see. The towns people were already in nursing professions? It had just dawn on Damien the time that was missed. He then turned to Allen and smiled.
Allen looked more lively and sure of himself. He looked like a man that had the weight of a country on his shoulders. He gave Damien a relaxed smile that soon turned serious.
"I know that you seem to have been though a lot and still have to recover but you will have to be caught up on the last 6 months of events. I will list them of importance."
As Allen began to speak Damien held up a hand to stop him.
"Allen come closer."
When he got close Damien touched his hand and looked into his mind. He learned this ability literally seconds ago when Selene hugged him. It was part of the reason he wanted her away from him so soon. He accidentally read her mind and felt her emotions. He had seen into her whole life and her deepest feeling, thought and memories. It was a shock to Damien and a wake up call. He had to be very careful and learn to control his new powers as soon a possible or he could endanger innocent lives. Damien gained the skill but his control was still low but he would try with Allen now. He touched Allen and could not stop the emotions from coming through his memories but he was able to stop his probing to the last year and a half.
After finishing he also knew what kind of man Allen was. He was honorable to a fault. Due to his values and ideals he will serve a master until death. He view Damien as a god when he was still a mage. Damien felt comfort knowing he had at least one person on this planet he could completely trust. After absorbing Allen's memories he had an idea of what he needed to do next.
"Thank you Allen, you will be greatly rewarded for your loyalty. Now I will impart on to you the truth."
Allen looked at Damien strangely after he spoke. Damien showed Allen images of what he went through and discussed the conversation with his system. Allen was quiet for a time and Damien felt he had done something wrong. He realized Allen was angry.
"So your an God, god now. The big 'G', huh. So now your hot shit that you can just go around and do anything you want. So we are all just supposed to just bow down to your whim? Did you ever think that I may have a problem with you invading my memories? That I have shit in there that I didn't want you to fucking see!
"But I-"
"But what! What are we some fucking children? Toys? How long have you been hiding who you really are? Trust. Show us that you can be something worth trusting and we can talk. Until then I will only fulfill my duty to the kingdom of Numera and nothing else. Good day....my god."
Allen said that at bit with particular venom before storming off, he was furious. It hadn't even dawned on Damien that he should ask for permission. He just did what he wanted. Damien felt like he was changing and he didn't know how to stop it. He just had to try to control it and watch for signs of himself changing.
Damien suppressed them and began to think of a way to fix the situation later. For now he still had Allen's loyalty and that would have to do for now.
First things first, Damien had to meet the king. Damien walked down the hall of the hospital and was surprised to see an elevator. Although Damien noticed very few people were using it. Guess it'll take more time for some things to pick up. As Damien headed to the exit, he stepped out into the street and his mouth gaped at the scene.
There were people everywhere. Coming and going. Buying and selling from merchants, arguing and drinking at taverns, children playing. Everyone seems really...busy. Damien also seen content faces. Faces of people that have found a safe haven, that have found a home. Damien could feel the presence of over a quarter million residents. He still didn't know how many swore an oath to him but at over twelve million DP he knew he had a decent amount of them.
Feeling the particles in the air Damien soon located the king, inside of Damien's palace. Damien realized he never even seen the palace the system have built for him. Damien flew high into the city and towards the massive beautiful palace. He admired all that he was seeing and he welcomed the feelings of gratitude and gratefulness. It made Damien feel stronger, smarter all of a sudden. Like power was entering into his body. Damien wanted to ask the system but, Damiens plate was already full so he added this to his growing bucket list.
When Damien landed inside the courtyard a massive commotion broke out in the palace. It seemed like the entire palace had come out to greet Damien. Scores of maids and manservant, cooks, gardeners, all of the royal guards soon filled the massive courtyard and bowed. Then the crowd spoke in unison.
"Hail The Mage King. Hail Numara!"
After a few more chants greeting their king, all but the royal guards turned and hurried back inside. Older men and women were giving orders for some kind of preparation sending all in a frenzy. Damien was rushed to the taylor room to get fitted into royal clothing and dawned in jewels. He was rushed around the palace in every direction. Luckily with his God-energy power mind he was able to learn how to navigate back to all of the rooms he had been to. Walking though the palace Damien had noticed the beautiful designs and architecture. All of the halls looked like you were staring at the stars and moons. The halls were massive and had statues in the middle of Damien and all of the mana beast or of the warriors that had fought in the war. Each one was a statue of a warrior who's life Damien had saved that day. Many asked to be honored be placed in his halls. To accommodate Allen had a earth master mage create and have these shipped to the palace. Damien was grateful and honored by the statues.
Damien realized all of this was jus too meet the king. The king seemed to much more jovial this time around. He practically could barely contain himself with questions he had to wait months to get answer. Damien made up a story about him having dwarven help to construct his city in 10 years time. He said the elves assisted with his massive mana barrier. He said the beast people assisted with his city's combat prowess. The king was very skeptical but could not disprove Damien's words. So he had no choice but to believe the story. Damien spoke with the king for a few hours before the two agreed to meet and a later date. The king said he would leave in a weeks time and Damien agreed. Damien let the man enjoy his vacation.
Damien wanted to speak to the king further but he knew he couldn't stay around him any longer. In fact he had to get out of his kingdom before he destroyed it. He felt his power bubbling over several times and he had to will it back inside of himself and other times his senses were still not fully under his control. Damien had to leave and fast. He had no idea what a god could do but he was about to find out. Damien teleported outside of the palace and shot into the sky like a missile. As he flew he released his power. He flew higher and higher as his powers began to expand until he was in between the planet and one of the moons that orbit the planet.
Not being able to hold it in any longer, a powerful aura burst out of Damien. He felt himself growing more powerful by the second. His mind sharper. His muscles and bones became as strong and dense as a small star. had a glowed that went from purple, then gold, then grey and back to purple. It surrounded him like a sphere and Damien absorbed the energy back into himself. Damien was much in control of his power now that it was fully unleashed. He realized now that containing his power before fully unleashing it would have had disastrous results.
Stepping into a godly realm from the human realm hasn't happened before and so the last step into godhood was breaking the earthly human shell completely. Damien could not see himself but he had grown to over 6 and a half meters tall. His skin had a faint glow to it and his features became more define. He had become other worldly beautiful. Yet his most distinct features were his eyes. One was purple and the other was golden but they both had grey pupils.
Damien truely felt like a god and that he could actually do anything yet he was still cracking the surface. That he could learn anything on whim. That a swing of his arm could obliterate a mountain. Damien knew he could not pretend to be a human any longer. He was a god but was still limited. He searched all of his new brain power about portals and time travel and still nothing. He is still too far away from any other solar system right now it seems. His senses only feel the other planets of this system and then nothing past that. His senses will not reach outside of his solar system. Damien is still stuck in the same dilemma and felt cursed by the universe.
"System what is my power now?" Damien asked a question but it came out as a statement.
