Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

369  368: Reunion

After the brief and 'innocent' interaction between Corey and Divine, they left the abandoned and extremely quiet place they found themselves in.

Their walk was silent and none of them said a word since they were pre-occupied with their thoughts.

Divine was mainly thinking of how to retrieve or delete the recording Corey had of him. If it was when he was stupidly rich, this would not be an issue since he could make a request for the recording to be deleted from Corey's U-Watch.

However, his value points had been seized and it would take him some time to regain a portion of his previous wealth.

'Fucking hell. Why did I make such a mistake.' Divine thought while chewing on his fingers with a nervous expression.

He could already imagine how Rosa and mainly Fatty Black Bonez were going to tease him and use the recording if Corey ever exposed it.

As Divine was having several thoughts, Corey's mind was mainly still on all the information Divine had given him ever since they were in the sewers.

After going through the information in his mind, Corey knew he was now on a time limit.

Although it might take a long time before the world decides to ascend, it might also not take a long time at all.

Corey could not take any chances, and he had to speed up his plans. He was still weak, and since he already knew that New Earthlings like him were basically EXP for the chosen Half New-Earthlings, he knew he had to leave the Underworld with Divine's help no matter what.

Speaking of Half New-Earthlings, Corey also noticed something odd. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He remembered Divine telling him that a method of discerning a Half New-Earthling from a New-Earthling was by the presence or the absence of a talent.

Corey knew there were a lot of factors he would have to consider if he chose to use this method. However, the odd thing he figured out was that he had seen Divine's stats in the past and he vividly remembered Divine not having a talent or to be more precise, Record was unable to determine Divine's talent.

----

[Name: Divine

Race: High Elemental Human Hybrid

Class: Child of Ice and Fire

Talent: Unable To Determine

Level: 379

Tier: 3]

-----

This was what Corey saw the first time he ever tried to use Record on Divine. Back then, he remembered being confused since that was the first time he saw such a thing.

However, that was before his baptism under the Eye of God and his soul ascended to become a Cosmic Soul.

Now that his soul had reached an unfathomable level, what Corey saw was…

Level: 397

Tier: 3]

----

According to Record, Divine had no talent. And apart from finding it strange that Divine had no talent, Corey also noticed that the way Record wrote the word, Nil, was in Italics.

If Corey went according to Divine's previous words, then there was a chance that Divine was either an outsider or a Half New-Earthling.

There was also another possibility that Divine just refused to make a wish for whatever reason, or the wish he made did not result in him getting a talent.

There were so many possibilities, and Corey knew he could not make a rash decision just because of the fact that Divine had no talent.

Although a part of Corey wanted to give Divine the benefit of the doubt, a part of him was also suspicious of Divine.

And the main reason was that Divine knew way too much for a Tier 3, and… Divine's family.

Divine came from the House of Divine, and he was an influential figure in the House of Divine. Corey had never heard of 'The House of Divine' throughout his time on earth, and based on the fact that the House of Hellfire which was their enemy could send a powerful tier 5, The Ember Elder, to the Underworld as one of the guardians of the chosens, Corey had a feeling that the House of Divine was not a family that was based on New Earth.

This was the main reason Corey was also suspicious of Divine despite all that he had said and all that he had done.

However, Corey knew that there might be a reason for all of these, and he had to be calm and not behave rashly just because of his doubts.

He would wait, and if Divine did anything suspicious in the future or attempted to betray him in the future. Corey would make sure he was ready for it.

'No point in being paranoid or overly suspicious. I'll see what he does from now on.' Corey glanced at Divine who was mumbling some incomprehensible and nonsensical words even to Corey's Ears of Omniscience.

Corey looked away, and then his eyes flashed with a calculating light, 'Besides, I also need him to escape the Underworld.'

Corey looked up at the artificial sky of the Underworld.

'Although I have recorded the map of the Underworld through Record, I know that I'll still need Divine to escape. Not only does he possess more knowledge than me, escaping alone as a tier 2 or even tier 3 is impossible.'

A second after Corey had this thought, his ears perked up and he looked straight ahead. His Ears of Omniscience had picked up on a subtle sound from far away.

Corey frowned slightly, and Divine also had a subtle change in his expression. However, a few seconds later, their frowns and wariness reduced.

"CAPPPPPP!!!!"

A smile involuntarily appeared on the faces of Divine and Corey when they saw Fatty Black Bonez running towards them with tears in his eyes and his arms spread out wide in a hugging manner.

Corey looked behind Fatty Black Bonez and he saw Rosa, Melissa, Dave, Triple X, his slave- Selene, his master- Old Man Poison, and his butler and gardener- Kiefer, approach them with a relieved smile on their faces.

In less than five seconds, Fatty Black Bonez reached the two of them, and without hesitation, he gave Divine the tightest bear hug Divine had ever received.

Divine choked while repeatedly tapping Fatty Black Bonez's shoulders.

Corey chuckled softly when he saw this.

Their group was finally back together and it was time for them to cause a lot of shit storm in the shit hole called The Underworld they were in.

Finally man. Can't believe I took so long before I brougth back the group.
