Chapter 1088 Secret Hidden Within (1) "Mmm~hmm~mmhmm~hmmm~hmm~!" A melodious melody being hummed by a woman rang in Ace's ears. He found it very soothing and strangely familiar! 'Where am I?' Ace's vision became clear, and he was astounded when he found himself standing in front of an extremely beautiful woman. Goddess was the only word to describe her beauty, and she was sitting with a little baby cocooned in a golden runic blanket, cradled in her arm.

His eyes were just like his mother's. Ace felt his mind go blank as he stayed in a daze like a statue, watching this harmonized scene, which was unfamiliar to him yet familiar at the same time. Because the woman with the baby was none other than his Mother, Stella White, and that baby was most likely himself, he didn't know why but was 100% sure. He finally remembered his mother's face! He was bewildered and incredulously thought, 'What the hell is this? Some kind of vision because of the Bridge of Ascension? ' I was clearly undergoing the Law Body construction when I suddenly heard the system's voice about something, but I was in that strange suspended animation-like state where all I could feel was pain and then warmth. 'And now I'm suddenly seeing this strange vision? Is this some kind of test? T-Then why I'm feeling this strange foreboding feeling and pain in my heart as I look at this? It's like something bad is about to happen...' "System, what is this?" Ace tried calling the system, and even the status interface, but nothing happened, and he found this situation more amiss, and he couldn't do anything about it. So, he decided to investigate what was happening. He noticed one thing, though; he seemed to be invisible. Stella didn't notice him at all despite him standing right in front of her, and she continued to play with baby Ace.
Ace was shocked when he heard his mother calling that wizened man 'Father-in-law' and couldn't help but look at the old man's narrowed eyes, 'Is he my real Grandfather? But why didn't I remember this at all!? Is it a trick, or is it real, and why am I feeling this surging rage and hatred for them?' Ace was extremely confused, it was getting harder and harder to calm himself like he would explode at any moment. He was no longer calm and was feeling anxious and restless. But he knew this was just some kind of illusion and the people in this room couldn't see him. This only made him even more uncertain and jittery. The wizened man didn't reply. Instead, he averted his eyes from Stella and looked towards baby Ace in her hands. She was also looking back at him with inquisitiveness and even flashed an innocent smile at him. A hint of discomfort flashed past the wizened man's eyes before cold determination replaced it. However, this small change in the man's expression didn't go unnoticed by Stella. She instinctively squeezed baby Ace tighter, and her eyes went cold in warning. "Stella, I owe you an explanation. First, look at this." The wizened old man didn't answer. Instead, he flipped his hand, and an ethereal black stele that seemed to be carved with the starry space itself appeared. There were shimming golden runes on it, seemingly alive. He then gently pushed that black stele towards Stella, and it slowly drifted near her. However, Stella didn't dare grab it with her hands; instead, an invisible force flowed from her eyes, and that stele stopped a few meters away from her, flashing the runes on it. Stella's eyes winded when she saw those runes, "The God Runes!" Ace was also able to see the runes on the stele at this moment, and his eyes widened slightly as he thought grimly, 'Language of Ancient Gods!'
