The small yet noticeable presence of Oggoth, the Demon God of Hypnotizing Eyes had suddenly disappeared from the Devil Forest just after having triggered an even greater presence from the two Fragnts of Anir and Kelsus going berserk and destroying the seal where this Demon God had been sealed.
??
There was certainly peace and tranquility never experienced before inside the Devil Forest, but other entities that got to know about the presence of their brethren disappearing as if he had been sucked by the void had beco wary.
Since ancient tis that the only one capable of killing gods was the Demon God-King, however, when he was fragnted into pieces and 'died', such fear finally went away from the minds of the various Gods, this included the Demon Gods.
Demon Gods who had t others in the past had naturally learned how the presence of such gods felt and could be sensed, and naturally always felt when one of such gods' presence weakened or beca stronger… but one disappearing had never happened ever since the Demon God-King was fragnted.
But now, Oggoth had completely disappeared, and alongside himself, the fragnts of Anir and Kelsus that he possessed, which were treasured by many gods and sook after were also taken, as if they had found a new host, and their own energies and presences also beca dimr and less chaotic.
But how could such a thing happen to begin with?
Many Demon Gods, who were familiar with Oggoth wondered… as those atop the clouds, the Bright Gods, did so as well, while learning about so strange news that they heard from within the prayers of their believers.
A tall and beautiful woman, with a slender figure, red skin, and blazing hair sat down on a throne seemingly made out of gold. Her expression was mature yet adorable, holding so innocence within the brightness of her orange eyes. She wore a long and simple white dress covering her body while revealing her shoulders, neck, part of her breasts, and her legs and feet.
She was Uphy, the Goddess of Fire and the Sun, and one of the Bright Gods that maintained the Fire Attribute within the World of Kritias.
"Vulcan, what was that just now?" she asked with a youthful voice and a casual deanor to one of her Subordinate Gods, a being born from a part of her soul as a Divine Spirit that beca a God after many years nad Vulcan. His appearance was simple, as he seed to be made entirely out of an ethereal red fla in the shape of a human.
"My lady, it seems that… the Fragnts of Anir and Kelsus hat had been residing inside an area around the Human Kingdom of Aquaria had gone berserk for a few minutes… only to suddenly calm down… Alongside this, various gods with good hearing swear to have heard the cry of agony from a Demon God, afterward, they also heard the sound of… a soul being broken…" muttered Vulcan with a gentle and manly voice.
Uphy glanced at Vulcan a bit more… her size was far greater than her Subordinate God, being at least eighty ters tall, while Vulcan was rely the size of an adult man.
She then went back to sit on her golden throne, without saying a word.
"Are you… sure?" she asked.
"Err… Yes, my lady…" muttered Vulcan.
"Aw! Co on… Do not tell that… No, it cannot be, right? How can soone that can break souls born again? That was a one-ti thing! Ugh, I do not want to wake up the grumpy Bestellen for sothing like this, you know? Sigh… What a bumr…" muttered Uphy.
Vulcan was not surprised by his Goddess reaction, Uphy was a fairly immature goddess due to her divinity being that of Fire, aning that she was often known to be wild, beastly, uncontrollable, and passionate.
However, she lacks the strictness of Bestellen and was more on the gentler side of the Bright Gods, those that did not like many conflicts aside from mock battles or tournants of strength from ti to ti. She did not like to fight against the Dark Gods, to begin with, and still considered them her siblings, but due to being cataloged as a Bright Goddess, she was forced to stay at Bestellen's side.
Due to Uphy and Bestellen having almost the opposite personality and nature, they never went along quite well… and Uphy was rather happy that Bestellen was currently slumbering to recover from the wounds of the Ragnar?k, which she barely participated in, aside from fighting against the third faction led by the Demon God-King.
She did not want to wake up Bestellen and tell him this news personally, so she was trying to find so excuse to not do it.
She and Kesheia, the Goddess of Life and The Day, usually lived close from each other through their Divine Realms and Pantheons filled with Subordinate Gods, while Rhalorr, the God of Water and Oceans, lived far away atop the middle of the Ocean, Chaneyr, the God of Wind and the Sky lived in another side of the world, Phunana, and the Goddess of Thunder and the Weather lived with Chaneyr.
However, not only Bestellen was recovering from wounds, but Rhalorr and Chaneyr. anwhile, Tikdall, the God of Wisdom and Intelligence, and Droella, the Goddess of Ti and Patience had been sealed by the Demon God King in the middle of the Ragnar?k inside a place nad the 'Devil's Archipelago', far away from Bestellen and the other Gods.
Uphy wanted to ask Kesheia to do it instead, but Kesheia seed to have beco terribly busy recently, as she was trying to suppress the large quantities of corrupted mana or miasma around the Human Continent of Anir's Hands, which she was slowly realizing step by step.
"Isn't there another way around? Maybe it was not even what you think, Vulcan! Perhaps that God did not die… and the fragnts might have been picked up by another Demon God who ran away. We can't waste our ti in such things," said Uphy.
Vulcan knew about Uphy and Bestellen's harsh relationship and decided to not continue with the issue while trying to make Uphy take so kind of action.
"Very well, my lady. But wouldn't it be possible for you to do sothing as well? And about the news of the Aquaria Kingdom…" muttered Vulcan.
"Ah… About the Half-Demon Boy? It is just a kid, let him escape… Why does the church have to fervently chase young children like this?" said Uphy with a distasteful expression.
"Well… those are the laws that our lord had left before going into slumber… And it is not like the Half-Demon boy is completely innocent either, my lady, he massacred a whole group of rcenaries at the age of two!" said Vulcan.
"I eeaaann… It is not like those rcenaries were not forrly bandits that had done terrible sins?" said Uphy.
"Well… My lady might be right…" muttered Vulcan.
"And it is not like they didn't kill any villager from their original village either, right?" asked Uphy.
"Well… not exactly" muttered Vulcan.
"Aaaaaand, it is not like they didn't end up saving the villagers from a fate worst than death just before death, right?" asked Uphy one last ti… Vulcan seed a bit defeated, in the end, he also had so loyalty to Bestellen and desired for Uphy to get in good terms with him through obeying his law. But Uphy did not seem to care.
"Fine… My lady, do as you please… Haah, I am tired of trying" muttered Vulcan.
Uphy ended the conversation with a bright and cute smile, as she saw Vulcan going elsewhere.
Uphy then glanced from atop the clouds, near the sun where she governed, glancing at the surface of the Continent of Anir's Hands, towards the direction of the Devil Forest.
"I wonder if what I did now could have helped the little kid in so way?" Uphy thought.
