After they had gotten into the government facility Kael immediately fainted, his body couldn't stand the pressure anymore even though he wanted to keep standing as he was clueless as to what the government might attempt with his body.
The government wasted no time in seizing him, transferring him to a top-secret facility buried beneath the capital. Scientists and military officials observed his vitals, running every possible test to determine what he was and what to make out of the situation.
It could be said that the president was relieved that he was unconscious due to the fear he imprinted in their hearts through the footages of the battle that caused a devastation within the city. So this seemed to be the best opportunity the heavens could possibly be bestowing upon the United States government.
Weeks passed, and his readings fluctuated between human and something anomalous, yet nothing concrete surfaced.
Blood samples were taken and reviewed, passing through different levels of scrutinising and experimenting, yet it all proved to be futile, his blood showed to be a regular O positive as every normal human.
The president was becoming frustrated as days passed, he authorised the use of sedatives on Kael so as he wouldn't wake up in the middle of an experiment, they couldn't really imagine the level of terror he would invoke upon them.
Elara, on the other hand, found herself in a different kind of captivity. The government refused to let her walk away after witnessing the battle. She was interrogated daily ,some sessions polite, others more forceful. They demanded answers she didn't have. She was merely a regular student who was immensely interested in history and ancients, she was only accidentally caught up in something beyond comprehension. Despite their pressure, she refused to say a word about Kael, though she knew little about him.
After two days the president held a press conference to address the situation, he comforted the people and assured them the situation had been taken care of and the perpetrators were held in custody.
Deep within the facility , where Kael was placed in a reinforced glass tube with many restrictions placed on his being , he laid there as though he was having a peaceful sleep clueless to the bunch of frustrated scientists that couldn't stop pacing up and down the huge lab.
Meanwhile, in a distant realm that shone with gold , in a majestic castle that floated above the ground and stood brilliantly with the golden walls illuminating the whole realm like a giant sun , a war council was held. The great ones gathered, their ethereal forms flickering like distant stars.
They all sat in their respective thrones as everyone of them fixed their gazes towards a seemingly ordinary being who stood on a podium in the very centre of the grand Hall.
This was the war council of the martial gods.
"Let the council begin!"
An ancient voice echoed as the young ordinary looking man bowed slightly towards a certain direction and proceeded.
"Kaanan blade is back!"
Mumurs immediately filled the hall, and majestic pressures descended making the whole realm quake and groan.
" I see , that is why we are all here even after what happened"
A soothing feminine voice said calmly, although her voice seemed like it carried the weight of a billion stars it still made all the pressure withdraw completely and now all eyes were fixed on the man in the centre.
He cleared his throat and continued
It is good that you all remembered, and in a way it is good that he is back especially this time.
"What do you mean by that?? Kaanan is always bad news to us"
I'll let Ovi of the divine chains explain
With that he stepped aside and beckoned a slender figure draped in dark armour , accented with crimson marks all over and a chain wrapped around his arms , he stepped onto the podium and started.
"I sensed a fluctuation in time and space around the golden field , since I've awoken I was still trying to piece together my memories and the sudden interuption made me check, but everything was normal but I could feel it and due to my memories, I know only one person who could do such a thing, so I went to check, and my surprise when I found out how weak he has become, Kaanan is now mortal, I thought it would be a walk in the park but when has that man's bloodline ever disappoint??
With those words the tensed atmosphere came back..
I fought him, he could barely keep up with ten percent of my strength but unfortunately I couldn't finish him, his time was up and mine also, although this time it seems the heaven wants him gone too, so they wouldn't interfere if we did anything to him, back then he was of use to them but now he no longer has that use.
His last words made the whole council calm abit and then hums could be heard around as murderous intents flew all over the place, the air grew heavier this time targeting a single mortal who was now unconscious deep within a government facility.
" It's our best time to attack, let's go and erase him ourselves". Another heavy voice proposed but noone supported. For them to live for this long and be at this level of strength, each and everyone of them wasn't foolish.
But still the ordinary looking man spoke .
"Of course that would be good but remember, that man , he's still there, his wives, and even Kaanan's mother shouldn't be ruled out of the equation, remember that this people are people that can flip the heavens upside down with just a palm strike, so no....I do have a better alternative tho"
He said while looking straight ahead, his voice frail compared to the others but still none of them dared to question him.
On seeing he got their attention he continued
" I propose we send the players! The Demi gods!"

Back in the facility the scientists finally made a breakthrough in their researches after a month and 6 day, they immediately swung into action, collecting as much blood as they could collect from him and storing it quickly.
The president was informed but this time Kael had awakened....
