The ancient god's realm

"If that's what you want."

The only reason any creature integrated with a human was because the beast could gain intelligence from them just like how they can use some of its powers.

Countless tentacles rose, smashing him around, playing with his body like a volleyball.

"You can't have me die, can you?"

So long as two beings have the same affinity and their blood comes in contact, they can integrate. Until now, he had never been able to tame a beast but this time, he integrated easily.

If that wasn't enough, most of the beasts didn't have enough intelligence to be a threat to humans, that's one of the main reasons that beasts weren't considered a race. But if that were true then who was this octopus that could defy the laws of this world? Even after integration, a beast can't learn how to understand and speak the human tongue that easily!

'Is this also related to these strange blood powers of mine?'

"This is the major problem, as long as the two beings have the same affinity and their blood comes in contact; they will be integrated!" Caedes' lips curled as he spoke in a smug tone.

"So basically, you are now my slave, Aren't you?"

"YOU-!!!" The tentacles attacking him started moving faster and turned fiercer to show that the octopus was angry.

For 30 minutes, the boy could be seen tossed all around the ocean.

He knew that the creature wouldn't try to kill him because when a beast and human bonded, to protect the safety of the weaker race; a rule had been placed. If the weaker race dies, the stronger one has a higher chance of a backlash or dying.

The stronger their bond, the weaker the punishment. This rule was placed to maintain peace between the two races and avoid clashing with each other.

Although it was still a mystery about if he wanted to live or not, it was not like he had a choice…

His body could mysteriously heal and he could hurt whatever comes in contact with him.

What would happen next? Would he go to the land and risk the lives of innocent people? NO! He would try to learn to control these powers of his and then he would never use them.

'Couldn't the administrator help me? I have heard that 24 hours after integrating with a beast or awakening your bloodline, you are sent to the ancient god's realm.

I guess it's the best option I have right now, I should enter the Ancient God's realm!' Caedes thought,

In this world, a person can enter the ancient god's realm only through 3 ways. Humans are said to be descendants of God and can often tap into their ancestral bloodlines. Another way is to use the god's essence. Although humans never found a fully intact corpse of a god, bloodlines can be extracted from their remains with which you can evolve your bloodline. Either that or they bond with a beast, however, a beast can only enter the realm if it bonds with a Human. This is the major reason the balance between the two races has been maintained. 

"You don't have the will to live… Why?" It asked Caedes as the creature felt what its new bond felt. Confused as everyone it had seen in their last moments had the same fear… The fear of death.

"Neither do you have the will to live, otherwise you wouldn't be blatantly killing me… Your master and also your bond." The boy spoke with a fake smile, seemingly trying to dodge the question.

Seeing that he was being dragged somewhere, Caedes followed her without complaints. Not like he had a choice.

***

In one of the deepest parts of the ocean, a huge floating house made of a coral reef could be seen, showing its exquisite beauty to the world.

"Umm, if you don't mind me asking… How the heck does your mighty self plan to enter this small house?

Not that I care but you see that house looks quite beautiful and seeing it get destroyed is the last thing my broken heart could bear."

The creature snickered. A bright white light enveloped its body, condensing into a shape that looked more humanoid.

Caedes' eyes popped out of their sockets as the white light receded.

The boy tried to take a step back but found himself tied by the tentacles at his neck.

"Y-You a-are a-a girl?!?"

A/N: Apologies for the short chapter, it is supposed to be this way. I didn't lengthen it on purpose as that would make it too complicated. I'll upload a much bigger chapter as compensation tomorrow.
