Chapter 139 - interlude: Jason and Ava

About forty years ago, five years after the establishment of the Andromeda, there appeared a women within the Sarion dynasty with no explanation as to how it happened.

The women was interviewed by the ruler herself, Elmesia El Ru Sarion. It wasn't a leaders role to get involved with the affairs of the people.

But she got involved anyway simply because of one fact, this was very reminiscent of the appearance of Gehrman.

When asked what her name was, she looked hesitant for a second but then it seemed as if something within her clicked. She gave the name Evelyn. Evelyn Rosenthal.

Elmesia gave her her own lodging for the time being to see what she would make of everything around her, she wanted to see what Simon intended to do with her.

Overtime, she had shown that she was actually an amazing researcher. Seeing the nuances of this world that differed from her own had brought out a very childlike glee and curiosity.

She became one of the dynasties most well-known researchers and in her free time, she practiced swordsmenship, sorcery and elementalism.

Overtime, due to her contributions, she was given a title of Viscount. It was also through sorcery research and application that she broke the bottleneck of evolution and became a saint.

At some point she made contact with an elemental of light that coincidentally chose her and she made a contract with that which formed a Hero's egg.

But Elmesia knew that you couldn't just gain a hero's egg by making a contract with a elemental of light, you must also get the holy spirits blessing but she had never been near the labyrinth.

They were sitting together drinking tea together and Elmesia decided to bring the topic up, "Eve, how did you gain a heroes egg without the elemental queens blessing? And don't act dumb."

"Well, firstly, to clarify, I don't have the elemental queens protection. My divine protection is called Chaos's embrace."

And now Elmesia knew for a fact what was going on, "Ok now I have to ask you, What's your relationship with Simon?"

"I guess that's a fair request." Evelyn didn't know that Elmesia knew who Pneuma really was but know that she knew, she explained the fact that Simon was also a reincarnator and that she was his mother in the previous life.

"Well that makes sense. But tell me this what makes you gain knowledge so fast?" That was another suspicion Elmesia had.

"I have a unique skill called Archive. That allows me to access records of the past across spacetime."

Now Elmesia knew that this unique skill had something to do with the grayfog.

After a while, Evelyn evolved into a elemental of light herself and gained the ultimate skill Mnemosyne, lord of history.

Due to her suddenly evolution, her contributions to the development of both the Sarion dynasty and Andromeda and the friendship that she built with Elmesia over the years. Elmesia had given her the title of duchess and she didn't disappoint.

But Evelyn wouldn't be alone for long.

Jason and went into a downward spiral and sunk into depravity. After he had met his friend that had gained the isekai experience, he was relieved to see he was doing well.

Despite that, he still felt the grief of losing his friend and also jealousy for what he had become. He had formed a closer bond with his mother as that was all he had left of Simon.

He realized that it wasn't healthy of him to treat someone as simple memorabilia and that had sickened him to his core but it was only after Simon said goodbye that he realized how much his friend meant to him.

And after Ava died in an accident, he had lost it. In one night he had killed over five people in a moment of insanity and then killed himself.

Losing Ava had made him feel that everything related to Simon was slowly fading and he couldn't take it anymore and took his own life with one thought, ' I'm coming home Simon.'

In the Rosenthal estate, a portal opened that plopped down a child. The child was still asleep and couldn't wake up but his thoughts were very complicated.

Jason would find them, both Ava and Simon, he would find them and protect them, he would make sure that they were always safe and that they would never leave him again.

He would protect them to the ends of the earth… no matter the cost.

[Acquisition of the unique skill: Martyr… successful]

It didn't take long for the baby to be found and when Evelyn found the child, she wanted to put him up for adoption.

Until her own ultimate skill, or more accurately the grayfog, caused an emotional change within her, without warning, he made the impulsive choice to adopt the baby and name him Isaac.

It was only on Isaac's tenth birthday that they both found out the truth of the matter and to say Isaac was happy was an understatement.

It was also that day that Evelyn admitted that she knew the real depraved reasons of why Isaac stuck close to her in the previous life.

She admitted that she was ok with it and she gave Isaac the benefit of the doubt due to him grieving and that she also enjoyed his help around the house as well as his company.

It was that day that Isaac promised he would protect his new mother with everything he had.

At the age of five, he had learnt the capabilities of Martyr.

It allowed him to slowly assimilate someone's soul and add them to his own thus enriching his own soul, making him much stronger. When he began to learn swordsmenship, he adapted his unique skill to his sword style that drains someones energy and life upon each hit.

Due to the ability to cheat cultivation, Isaac had completed his ascension to sainthood and due to devouring souls to enrich his soul, he became a complete saint days after.

This allowed him to evolve Martyr into Hanged man, lord of depravity. And with this ultimate skill, he could enrich his body and soul much further and faster and on his 18th birthday, he became a divine human.

Isaac was far stronger then Evelyn but due to his loyalty to his friend aswell as the love he had for Evelyn as well as the Winters name, he still chose to stay as the son and surbordinate of Evelyn.
