Chapter 21: Impossible to restrict, chipped away
An hour later, traveling at great speed, the ultivehicle arrived at the Houston estate and landed in a field meant for landing of ultivehicles.
He came down from the ultivehicle and began to walk to the mansion. The ultivehicle took off and flew to the next destination.
On his way to his uncle's room, he was greeted by the workers he met which he amiably responded to.
They were shocked by his appearance but they said nothing, only wondered in their heart why their young master was looking very dirty.
"Boy, welcome back to your humble home." his uncle said lovingly.
Alex smiled but before he could talk, his uncle dragged him out of his room.
Plak!
The door closed in his face again.
Alex then swelled in embarrassment and anger. He kicked the door and left. He knew what his uncle's action meant.
When he entered his room, he went to shower, he became fresh again. All the dust that coated his face and present on his body had been washed away by the cold water shower bringing back his extremely striking look.
He dressed up and went back to his uncle's room. "Look at you now. So gorgeous" Houston said in a teasing tone.
Alex looked at him with a smirk and said "Uncle, there's something I want to ask you which has been bothering me for some time now"
His uncle was taken aback, "All right, let the cat out of the bag" Houston said.
"Uncle who were my parent and what happened to me when I was young, I just can't recall anything about me before I clocked twelve?"
"Hmm" his uncle thought for sometime before saying "That's a tough question you asked. I can't answer the two questions now but I promise to tell you later. I just want you to know that you are really special" Houston said.
Alex raised a brow and pouted. "Okay. Uncle, promise me you will provide an answer to what am about to ask you next" he said.
His uncle shook.
He didn't want to make a promise he wouldn't want to fulfill. He took a deep breath, "Alright kid, bring it on" he said.
Alex smiled happily.
"Uncle, during one of the stages of a trial for a legacy, I accidentally awakened a physique, I had stars all over my body, I felt great power. But the power has gone dormant again, I can't even sense where the power lies in my body. I also saw a realm where I saw countless bodies. These bodies were fearsomely powerful. What is that physique and what's that realm?" Alex asked.
Houston's eyes widened in shock, but he concealed this very well from Alex.
With a smile, he approached Alex and put a arm around his neck "Boy, like I said earlier, you are a very gifted kid. Well, to give an answer to that..." He said with a smile.
Then he abruptly touched Alex's nape with a finger that glowed resplendently.
He couldn't fulfill his promise.
Alex's eyes went shut as he fell into deep sleep.
Houston quickly held him before he fell to the ground and then he placed him on his bed.
He touched Alex's forehead with his index finger and some abstruse patterns surfaced within Alex's head.
Houston's eyes widened with marvel. Then he shook his head as he said "Truly backed by the realmverse. Your vast potentials simply can't be limited or restricted. The divine power your father used to form the profound, memory restriction seal is being slowly chipped away and refined into pure divineforce energy, adding to the one circulating in your energyhouse" he said. Then he continued "I would love to undo this to give you back your memories, but I simply won't be able to. The memory seal put there by your father would be extremely difficult to break. And forcing it to shatter and disperse might harm your memories. So only you can slowly grind it away as you go stronger, kid"
.....
Few hours later, Alex woke up. When he sat up in bed, he saw his uncle looking at him with a smile and a book in his hand. He was reading leisurely at the moment. "Uncle, I fell asleep here?" he asked in a bewildered tone.
"Yes, you did" Alex was surprised. "that's odd" he mentioned.
"What's odd about falling asleep in my room?" Houston asked with a smile.
Alex couldn't refute his statement, he only smiled back.
