CHAPTER 69: THEY’VE DIVINE

Presently Black was seated upon a dark azure-purple luxurious chair and before him was the rectangular Dinner Table made of an obsidian wood.

He had already arrived at the large Dining Hall a few minutes ago.

The Hall itself was again just as always both big, spacious, and luxurious.

Meanwhile at the dinner table were served many delicacies of different kind wafting a mouthwatering, stomach churning aromatic fragrance causing Black’s heart to swell further invoking his appetite towards the many meat dishes of different kinds of magical beasts, broth soups, and the verity of unique sweets present.

While, all the three maids Luna, Wix and Freya were standing a few steps behind with respectful postures.

Then beside him sat Zephyr dressed in a fancy and ornate crimson-black dress, her midnight black hairs with scarlett strands free falling till her waist like a cascade of crimson stars on a stygian night however what caught his attention were the two classy earrings she wore further magnifying her charming beauty.

"You look stunning Zephyr!" He complimented with a smile.

Zephyr turned towards him — stunned, when he suddenly grabbed her earrings further praising her beauty, compelling a radient smile to bloom upon her hypnotic face.

She didn’t need to say anything, only her scarlett gaze was enough, it spoke for herself telling Black just how happy she felt upon being complimented.

Besides, she immediately casted a side-long glance towards Wix sending a grateful look towards her since it was she who had insisted on and forced her to wear the emerald-black earrings, they were quiet fancy too, matching with her black-crimson hair with there emerald-black sheen, giving her a unique and charming appreance.

Wix simply smiled at her in response, her lips moving, ’told you that Master would like it!’

Although no words came out of her mouth yet Zephyr still understood what she said perfectly therefore she smilingly nodded at her and again turned her attention towards the lavish meal.

Though Black too watched the small interaction between Zephyr and Wix yet he didn’t say anything just smiling inwardly leaving themselves to their devices as his expression quickly returned to normal thereafter he turned towards Evelynn who was seated at the head of the dinner table.

"Ma.. Master Evelynn, what were you saying.. something about a envoy from Octagram having come here when we were in the bathroom!?"

Initially he stuttered while addressing Evelynn since he was still not comfortable and was still getting used to addressing her with such a.. Title!!

Evelynn with a graceful and elegant motion took a bite of the food before her while chewing the rice and meat in her mouth slowly, deliberately, thoroughly enjoying the deliciousness of the exquisite dish.

Then she drank the red wine from her fancy wine glass, her lips parting as the liquid slowly flowed through her delicate throat, she used a napkin from the dining table itself to clean her wet lips and only then did her amethyst gaze landed on Black.

She gazed at him for a few seconds without replying and he too matched her gaze with his golden one!!

"They are not ignorant Black!! ~~ " She said. "Their thousands of years of age isn’t just for show!! ~~ "

"They are Divine!! ~ "

"Beings of the third phase. Besides they know all too well just what does a Progenitor represents. The power a Progenitor holds. The Cosmic Laws a Progenitor commands. They are eager to meet you. Then.. you are the first and only Progenitor ever born in Elytheria. This world isn’t strong enough to birth one, and it wasn’t supposed to birth one either.. yet it still did!! ~ "

"A progenitor was born. You were born Black. Albeit a young and naive Progenitor.. since you’re incomplete. And they know that all too well too.. so the quickly they form a relationship, a strong bond with you, the better it is for them. Riding on your cocktail they have a chance to reach the next Phase. One which is currently nothing but a dream to all of them, because of there own limitations and circumstances!! ~ "

"You are practically a source of power for them, an opportunity to reach a even higher level of assencion. A Progenitor is an existence that they wouldn’t have ever dreamed of meeting in all there long life span yet one was literally born in there home world!! ~ "

"Meaning they are very eager to meet you after they learned that you had finally left the underground caverns, so they sent an envoy to schedule a meeting with you!! ~ "

Black was stunned by the sudden influx of information.

He even took a few seconds to properly digest it.

Yet then his brows still wrinkled into a confused frown although he had a lot of questions regarding what Evelynn had shared, he still asked the most prominent one. One that was really nagging him pretty bad..

"If they are actually that eager to meet me as you claim.. then why haven’t they come yet, why haven’t they arrived at this mansion which they themselves provided.. No why haven’t they done anything to me, when I was in the caverns for those 11 days!?"

"Surely it would be a simple thing for them to come and meet me by how strong you described them. You said they are Divine’s beings of the Third Phase... " He sighed.

"And no matter what my actual identity is, I’m still weak.. enough that I can’t even defend myself, if such powerful beings really wanted to do something against me!!" Black said wryly.

Than he suddenly remembered something, further adding..

"Besides by what you had said when you met us in the caverns for the first time.. you must be a Phase Third Divine too.. right Master!?"

Then with a smirk he questioned..

"So why haven’t they come to meet this weak, naive and young Progenitor yet, one that holds the potential to fulfill there dreams, there desires, to reach a higher level of assencion. You don’t supposed to be saying that you are strong enough to battle all those.. um.. those unknown numbers of Divine single handedly and thats why they haven’t come yet, right!!?"

Evelynn giggled, amused by his question.

"Fufufu.. Just who do you think your Master is, My Disciple!! I’m indeed very strong. Enough to really annihilate most of them if they step out of line!! ~ "

Then with a thoughtful look she continued..

"There aren’t more then.. five! yes, there aren’t more than five being in all of Elytheria that I acknowledge as my equals — My Disciple!! ~ "

Then she too smirked..

"If it was not for my presence there, would they’ve waited for so long to bring you out of those underground caverns.. No, they wouldn’t have!! Fufufu!! ~ "

"You are joking with me!! aren’t you!!?"

He muttered unable to believe her..

Then he argued. "Alright!" He nodded. "I believe you. Suppose there really are no more than five Divine who are as strong as you! So why haven’t they come! Besides though I don’t know how can I help them reach the next Phase.. still don’t they themselves want to reach the next Phase too! Thus they should be here since you aren’t much stronger than them!!?"

He asked with raised brows —
