Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 90 90.

The weeping soul Serpent Emperor howled in despair as it drowned and burned in a pool of molten magma.

But it was all futile.

Aiden saw this tragic sight and smiled as he stretched forth his hand, pressing it against the back of the snake's head.

With that, the deep purple flames began to burn through the snake's scales and flesh, tearing it apart like they were just flimsy pieces of paper before Aiden violently tore its head off its neck and threw it to the side.

The blood didn't even get a chance to splatter before it quickly boiled into a large crimson mist that seemed to circle around Aiden like the embrace of the devil.

Crushing and torturing that annoying beast that had humiliated him for so long brought an unmatched sense of satisfaction to Aiden.

But Aiden didn't get the chance to admire this feeling for long before he felt some changes in his body.

The second Aiden took off the monster's head, he felt the divinity inside him begin to bubble.

All of a sudden, deep inside of him, Aiden felt shackles that represented his mortality and human limits begin to shake and weaken.

A familiar screen appeared in front of his eyes as Aiden smiled.

[You have completed an unprecedented feat!]

[You have slain a beast Emperor above your rank.]

[Your divinity is boiling!]

But just as Aiden's divinity was reaching its zenith, the screen in front of Aiden cracked.

[Error… Error… Ember of creation is being corrupted!]

[Resisting corruption… Resistance…]

[Linking your inner flame… link blocked.]

[Seeking Divine Intervention…]

[Do you want to proceed with divine intervention from the gods? The gods will pay attention to your unprecedented achievement!]

The temptation to seek was unimaginable.

The cells throughout Aiden's body seemed to be screaming for him to go ahead and break that divine shackle.

But somehow, when Aiden heard this notification, he soon came to his senses.

He didn't know why, but a sudden thought, something akin to a murky whisper, began to grow inside Aiden's heart.

'If I am seen by the gods in this state, I won't have a good end.'

The second this thought grew in his heart, Aiden only seemed to become more and more certain of that fact.

The temptation of increasing in rank was unimaginable, but Aiden still managed to control his greed and mumbled:

'I refuse.'

Aiden's thoughts were simple.

He didn't want to take risks.

Although the flames of chaos were bringing an urge for him to do nothing more than bathe the world in endless flame, it was this same desire that kept him sober right now.

The gods were so powerful that they could eliminate him with an accidental sneeze if he was unlucky enough.

If he was wiped from the face of the earth…

What would burn?

What would turn to ash?

What would be bathed in flames?

Ironically enough, his endless desire for destruction was the same thing that triggered his preservation instincts at this moment.

[Ascension Failed. Your glorious feat is dissipating…]

As those words appeared, he could feel the receding divinity inside of his body start to cool down.

And the shackles of divinity began tightening around his being, restricting his rank to the peak of the first rank.

All around him, Aiden felt a strange rumble in the air as some strange, imperceptible rules dissipated from his presence.

Aiden knew instantly that his chance at ranking up had completely slipped from his grasp.

But now that he was down here, he couldn't be bothered crawling through the tunnels and finding a way back up.

He stretched forth his hand towards the roof as purple flames rushed toward him, causing the space to tremble.

Boom!

A terrifying beam of concentrated purple flames shot towards the sky and shook the realm.

All throughout the realm of the world, in regions of the mountain forest, a beacon of horrifying purple flames burst forth into the sky as if it were trying to reach the heavens themselves.

The air around him instantly began to heat up as any plants or wildlife unfortunate enough to be within a kilometer radius of the beam were instantly turned into ash!

With his exit in front of him, Aiden didn't waste another second and made his way out.

Stepping first, a cloud of purple flames gathered beneath Aiden's feet, allowing him to fly out of the underground cavern and see the surface again.

Only a few seconds after Aiden exited the caverns, the hole he made began to crumble in and collapse on itself.

Aiden paid no attention to this and continued forward.

He calmly stepped onto the surface, but the chaotic desire in his eyes was still burning just as brightly. However, as he stepped forward, he suddenly felt a horrible pain jolt through his body.

'No! What is this!'

Looking inward, Aiden was surprised to find that all of his divinity had simply been burned away!

If Aiden had taken the opportunity to advance, things might have been different, but now he was completely dry.

The thing Aiden had been using to fuel these terrifying, chaotic flames was never the puny divinity of a rank 1 being.

How could that support the true flame of such a chaotic being?

No, what Aiden had been running on was mere whispers of the chaotic being from his awakening as fuel for his flames.

Now that those whispers had faded, so did the power that came with it.

Aiden realized what had happened in mere moments and cursed his luck.

His body was already falling toward the ground, his mind growing dark.

Aiden's only regret was that he couldn't see more of the world burn in the bright purple glow of his flames.

...

When Aiden woke up, he found himself looking up at a pure, blank, white ceiling.

His mind was a foggy mess.

He remembered leaving behind Oliver and Raelia.

He remembered almost dying to the swarm of snakes.

He even remembered the strange changes to his ember of creation and even the...
