The spell Murmur used to acquire the memory was a spell known as "Sightmeld memory insight" It was a spell created by the ever curious sorcerers who wants to gain insight and knowledge of their opponent without being up close.
The spell is cast upon another being, unknown as the spell parasites inside of them forming an invincible eye which sees everything they do but if that was all then the wizards have no need for such spells. What enticed them the most about the spell was how it enables the caster to interact with the memory being seen and take a closer observation.
What Murmur forgot is his arrogance was that some beings’ presence or influence extends above the physical state and Mahu was such being, a mortal influenced by her divinity can be affected by the goddess whenever she wants just by accessing the memory of the time the mortal fell under the influence.
Murmur noticed these gods are still not experienced yet if not he has to keep an eye for his son who has in his sight and memory of the goddess. Thinking of that Murmur frowned, if he could think of this then why can’t the gods also think of it, it was only a matter of time. It seems he will have a meeting with his son for cleansing.
Murmur noticed how he had stopped shaking, the cold was still still there and each time he opened his mouth a cold air can be seen visibly leaving his body but that was fine as his body had stopped shaking.
"The price was worth it in the end, I was able to gauge the goddess’ strength when possessing a mortal. Can be taken care off with enough preparation but" Murmur thought to himself as he remembered the sight of the slash that seems to never end.
"If she disregards her mortal vessel in exchange to throw out power like that, then all preparation won’t matter" Murmur looked troubled but remembering his short interaction with the goddess and her care for her believers he believes she won’t do that "It’s all up to luck then" Murmur said out loud rubbing his chin.
"I will need Björn strength, luck isn’t enough" Murmur stopped up from his throne with his hands behind his back, the origin gods were too strong. In all his life he has heard about them but he had never had the opportunity to face them up close like now.
All this made him realize that he needed allies, thank the abyss for the dragons and their gates. In the past he had been troubled on how to get to the other continent without being noticed immediately by the gods or their offspring.
But with the dragons and their gate, it spread diversity and that was the gateway for him. It made sense to everyone when you see a human or different race or color to everyone as they immediately think oh "They came through the gate"
That was the case for Murmur at first, letting a lot of Asians from his continent to spread throughout other continents while he used his extensive knowledge to take backway routes to those continents and it worked as everyone immediately thought of the gates.
Even after the demigods acted to stop the use of gates, he already gained what he wanted and that has been working well for him all this while is why he was able to gain knowledge on all his other body parts and from their action able to figure out what they plan on doing.
That was the case for Murmur and Björn, he needed someone with strong strength to deter the gods and keep him off their radar but his short interaction with the goddess showed that the recently ascended Björn wasn’t enough and probably will never be enough.
Björn ascended to a godhood but at this risk of him losing the war and his kingdom in the process, the silver kingdom may use this opportunity to crash down everything that Björn has built which in Murmur’s mind was the worst thing that can happen to Björn.
Björn in his need to ascend to godhood forgot what keeps a god a god which is their believer, Murmur knowledge states that different from Origin gods and their divinity by being the concept of what that is, so they gain strength just by existing and the aspect of their divinity is being utilized by beings living in their world, Believers are just a sprinkle of salt. Meanwhile ascended gods aren’t the concept of their divinity. Meanwhile Björn can never gain strength whenever there is war occurring in this plane or world.
He will need believers who will act as a channel for him to gain the strength or the war has to be waged in their name. Which is why Murmur sees Björn’s situation as dire. If Björn loses his kingdom and people who were supposed to be his believers and share his belief across the world then he is just another slightly powerful being with a hot potato in his hand.
"He is of no use to me when that happens, nothing but a strong useless brute" Murmur thought to himself in anger.
"I have to do something about this" Murmur thought to himself as he began pacing around ignoring his cold frigid body.
"I could start a church dedicated to his faith in this continent" Murmur thought to himself but soon shook his head, the trouble that will come from that isn’t something he looks forward to, especially considering the divinity that Björn has and the gods paying more attention to him.
"I don’t want no church of brutes and savages who only knows how to fight" Thoughts were running through Murmur’s head to find a way he could sort out Björn’s problem, soon an image of his daughter appeared in his mind.
"She will do" Murmur thought to himself before sending out a mental call to his daughter who immediately answered "Come down to the palace" was all Murmur said, cutting off the call.
It took sometime before steps began echoing in the empty underground palace, soon the figure of a tall woman became apparent.
The woman can be seen gracefully walking, each step she takes calculative and was sure to expose her beautiful curves and body catching the eyesight of anyone lucky to see her. Yuki the daughter of the demon Murmur was a beautiful woman whose beauty can be said to be comparable to a goddess.
One thing Murmur liked about his daughter was how she embraces the darkness and the horrors that come with it unlike her brother who believes he conquered the darkness only for him to fear what lies behind the darkness.
Yuki in her Kimono and shoes can be seen with a calm seductive smile on her face as she walks through the horror silent place where multiple eyes were eyeing her with confidence.
Soon she got to the palace room where her father was waiting majestically in his throne "You requested for me father"
"I did" Murmur said before continuing "You can finally be done with those troublesome papers now that your brother is back"
Yuki did a slight bow with a smile on her face "Indeed but it was never truly troublesome"
Murmur raised a brow on that "So my ears deceive me then"
Yuki made no response back. Instead she bowed even further still with her ever present smile, Murmur didn’t mind that instead he stated "I have a mission for you"
Yuki hearing changed her expression for the first time as she turned serious "What would you like for me to do father?"
Murmur took sometime to arrange his words before saying "I will be sending you off the continent to a new one where you may or may not depending on how you choose to complete the goal have to be the leader of a kingdom"
Yuki’s expression shifted slightly, a flicker of intrigue dancing in her eyes as she processed her father’s words. "A new kingdom, you say? And what exactly is the goal I must accomplish there?" she inquired, her voice smooth as silk but tinged with a hint of excitement.
Murmur leaned back on his throne, studying his daughter’s reaction with a keen gaze. "The goal is twofold," he began, his voice low and resonant in the cavernous chamber. "Firstly, you are to establish a foothold for our influence in this new realm. Secondly, you are to make sure that this new kingdom never falls in the hands of it enemy"
Yuki’s interest piqued further at this revelation. "I Thought we were done with this individual and his people once we guaranteed his ascension" she asked, her curiosity evident.
"I thought so too, daughter but we still have a lot that needs to be done before we truly can say that we are done with them," Murmur answered his daughter.
Understanding dawned on Yuki as she connected the dots. "Ah, I see. You wish for me to ensure Björn’s ascension to godhood to safeguard our interests in this world."
