NOVPUBWhen I opened my eyes I was surprised, what was in front of me was a beautiful beauty with eyes in the shape of hearts almost naked, her Aura exudes seduction and I hurriedly left that room more out of shame than anything else.
I may be a God, but I am someone committed to 5 or 6 beauties that I can barely handle, I don’t need other wives.
"How was she?" (Loki)
Loki was already waiting for me outside the room, I looked at him before answering.
"She’s going to be fine, but she’s suffered a lot of Demonic influence, so the way she is now is going to be the way she stays." (I)
"That’s all I wanted." (Loki)
She says this with a smile, already entering the room, so I continue on my way to another place.
There is still one child left to take care of.
--------------------
The child was something much simpler to see again, after taking care of her I left it in Irina’s hands, it seems that soon I would have another granddaughter since Irina seemed interested in bringing this girl as her daughter.
After taking care of all that I wanted to take care of one more thing and so I walked to the main hall of the Communal Temple, I stopped in front of the statue of the Goddess of Death, Kalistos.
On my knees I closed my eyes and using my Will to touch the Statue through my Aura, I tried to convey my desire to find her.
That was when I felt my vision swim for a second, making everything around change to an arid place, only a young girl with hair, clothes and eyes as black as ink was in front of me, her skin seemed to be pale white to the point of looking morbid, her presence fills me with fear making my survival instincts simply surrender.
"What do you want with me?" (Kalistos)
"An agreement." (I)
"I know that unlike all the other Gods, you and Mavis do not make deals for any type of Essence or anything else, with the only exception being when the Essence in question comes from your attributes." (I)
"Yes, you’re not wrong, so what do you think you have that’s valuable to me to be able to make this deal?" (Kalistos)
All the time she finds nothing, for the Goddess of Death only the blank expression like Hinata’s matches, but unlike Hinata who just doesn’t know how to express her emotions on her face, the Goddess Kalistos perhaps doesn’t feel any of the emotions.
"I have the Souls of hundreds of Gods and Demigods, would that be enough?" (I)
"You understand that even though they are your enemy Gods or Demon Gods, just like you, they also have responsibilities, correct?" (Kalistos)
"Just by existing they balance their respective Essences and balance the universe." (Kalistos)
"I know, that’s why I’m not performing their Divine Rebirth, making everyone change would be more harmful than beneficial." (I)
"But I thought you would have a better way to make them reborn." (I)
"Yes, but I still don’t see what use it is to me?" (Kalistos)
"I could probably threaten to destroy those Souls, that would create a big problem that you would try to avoid, but you’ve helped me a few times and your Champion is a good friend of mine." (I)
"So I really thought a lot about coming to you and selling my idea of making a deal, until I realized that the entire deal would be beneficial to both of us." (I)
"And what good would this deal be if not even the price you offered could move me?" (Kalistos)
"I have captured several Legions of Death, what I need is your cooperation to strip Death’s power as well as the Souls of the innocent from them while replacing it with something else." (I)
"..." (Kalistos)
"Do you want me to absorb the power of Death and Souls on a planetary level?" (Kalistos)
"What do you want to refine those Legions of Death into? A Divine Weapon? Maybe a Divine Crossbow?" (Kalistos)
"Honestly, I have no idea, I have a general outline of what I’m going to do, but I have no idea about the outcome." (I)
"You really…" (Kalistos)
Sigh
"Indeed, there are no losses for me and it is within my Divinity to act in this regard, the price you offered before would be better inverted with what you wish to do, but I accept." (Kalistos)
"Call upon my Champion at the time of need, my power will flow through him." (Kalistos)
"Thank you..." (I)
I didn’t know what had happened when I found myself standing in front of the statue of the Demon God of Death again.
Then I felt all the Demon Souls sealed inside the Communal Temple being taken to where I am and sinking into the statue.
"She’s very objective." (I)
"(Now I’m going to rest at least one night before taking care of that book tomorrow.)" (I)
----------------
When I lay in my bed I couldn’t sleep, my body was in a meditative state and instead of falling into a dream, I was inside the Star Path in my Dragon form.
I could hear whispers, millions of them, some so low it was impossible to hear while others were so loud as if they were speaking right next to my ears.
I had already heard about this from the Heralds and knew that I was hearing the desire to change in multiple people, a conscious or unconscious desire.
Their voices are all separate and I could hear wheels at the same time without any problems, the crystal path was where there were shadowy silhouettes, some were just shadows with legs, arms and head without any more details.
There are also increasingly detailed shadowy silhouettes with some rare ones having a completely detailed appearance, the voices and whispers come from these silhouettes, each of them can also choose to stand still on the star path or begin walking, I can extend my Will to help everyone in their path or let them use their own Will to walk their path.
"Sir." (Hades)
"This place needs a lot of work, I can feel the instability." (I)
"It was worse at first, apart from me, the other Heralds didn’t know what they had to do, but now we’re working together to stabilize, the Invasion set back a lot of our work." (Hades)
"Don’t even tell me, this Invasion was really bad." (I)
I spent a few more hours talking to Hades, he explained to me what the Heralds do, he also explained about many things that would need my help, it wasn’t anything too difficult, it was the only comfort I had.
-------------------
When I opened my eyes inside the mansion, I didn’t feel sleepy, that’s because that wasn’t even considered sleeping, as a God maybe I won’t be able to sleep like I used to and that’s something I need to get used to.
"I don’t feel like I’ve rested." (I)
Sigh
"Hinata, can you get Ivan and Hela for me?" (I)
"Yes..." (Hinata)
"Take them to the Communal Temple, I want to open that book in the easiest place to contain it possible." (I)
"..." (Hinata)
Hinata pulls out of me and flies out the window, I snap my fingers and when I open the door I see Niryna standing outside waiting.
But before I could say anything she ran away, in fact she left burn marks with each step.
"..." (I)
I didn’t know what to do, her Aura was confused, but her eyes were clear, she seemed to be deciding something and while looking at her, Callidora stuck her head out of her back smiling.
"(Should I go after her...?)" (I)
When I saw her running, I realized that there were two people following closely, they were Alice and Athena, this made me feel calmer.
I took my time walking to the Communal Temple, the people of the city returned to normal, it made me happy to see so many children running through the streets, time really passed quickly.
When I arrived at the Communal Temple I felt more rested after this walk, when I entered Ivan was already there, but neither Hinata or Hela had arrived.
"Good to see you, Ivan." (I)
"How is your daughter going?" (I)
"I’m fine, but that girl won’t leave the lab to the point where her fatigue resistance levels are constantly increasing." (Ivan)
"(Resistance to fatigue? I didn’t even know that ability existed.)" (I)
I spent a few minutes talking to him until the girls arrived, we all went to an underground room where one of the Skeleton Priests from the Demonic Church of Death brought the book still chained and left it on a pedestal.
"Let’s start?" (I)
"I think I’d better take care of this, Ivan doesn’t have in-depth knowledge of Necromancy." (Hela)
"I don’t see a problem, this book doesn’t seem to contain much Death Power, I feel a much greater amount of curse." (Ivan)
"Then let’s do this." (I)
I snap my fingers and Runes begin to burn all over the walls as Holy power intertwines within the walls, just a form of containment as I don’t know what to expect.
"I’ll start." (Hela)
Hela walks over to the book, in her hands was what looked like a cube with each side having different magic circles.
She touches the crystal cube to the book, then the cube shines, becoming ethereal as if it were energy expanding, then the book floats inside an energy cube, different symbols and lines of energy pass through the surface of the cube, the currents around it of the book shake and soon begin to show signs of cracking.
We don’t have to wait more than a few minutes for the chains to completely break and the book to begin thrashing as if it were alive.
"< Containment >" (Hela)
