*Sigh*
"...talking to them really tired out…"
Once the Gods left the Divine Palace Domain of the Divine God of Truth, the tension in Nial's body was released explosively.
He continued to sigh a few more tis before he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.
"You did your best. I don't think that I could have done it any better," The Oracle said while smiling vibrantly at Nial.
She was proud of him and wanted to show this clearly. It was not easy to endure getting insulted, being accused of having done sothing that couldn't be more wrong and being misunderstood.
Nial was bound to face similar, if not worse, situations as he encountered today.
The whole day had been filled with misfortune. Not only was the Divine God of Truth dead, killed in front of them, but a bunch of powerful Gods had co to visit the Divine God of Truth not long after.
"I wonder if the Advocate planned all of this, or if he, or she, was also surprised about the arrival of the other Gods."
Nial scratched the back of his head and he sighed once again.
He turned toward the two small mountains that had been created with the corpses of Gods. The Divine God of Truth was seated in the center of the two corpse mountains, his dead body exuding the remnants of highly potent Divine Energy he wielded when he was still alive.
"I doubt that they will bother what happens to their corpses, right?" Nial asked even though he knew that this was not exactly the case.
The Oracle didn't say anything but that was not needed, in the first place.
Nial knew that the families, friends, and even the other authorities of their races would want to retrieve the corpse of the Divine God and the other Gods.
To their misfortune, they would never be able to et them again. Nial would devour their bodies, remnants of power, and their existence with his Cursed Divine Ability!
He felt a little sorry, but war was not fair, and he didn't really believe that his words reached the Gods. The impact of his words shouldn't have been as grand as the Oracle believed.
In fact, even if his words and the explanations he delivered had so impact, it was not possible for seven Ancient Gods and two Divine Gods to change the opinion the entire Universe had about Damian and probably him.
"The Advocate will probably share the news of your 'heinous sins' soon. If you want to do sothing here, better don't spend too much ti. We have to leave soon if we don't want to be taken by surprise."
The Oracle's warm hand was still on his shoulder. It gave him power and the courage he needed to set his heart at ease.
Even if he gave his all to change the future while making sure to have as few casualties as possible, it was obvious that not everything would go according to his plan.
That was how life was. There were high tis and downtis. Nial and Damian encountered both of them, even if Damian faced down tis more often than Nial. Overall, there was an eerie balance.
If sothing good happened one ti, sothing equally bad was bound to happen at a different ti. That was also why it was even more important to see the positive things in the worst tis. With the beloved family, friends, and possibly a lover by their side, even the worst tis could turn into sothing magical, sothing one may as well enjoy to a certain degree.
Nial could feel this right now quite well.
It felt like the Universe collapsed right in front of him, but Nial didn't feel as if he was suffocating. On the contrary, he was quite calm, and smiled at the Oracle with a ward heart as he spread out the darkness of his Cursed Divinity.
"Devour everything!"
Tentacles of darkness shot out of the darkness, coiling around the corpses. As dead as they were, the remnants of Divine Energy were still present in their body. However, without even bothering about the Divine Energy the tentacles pulled the corpses into the abyss of Nial's Cursed Divine Ability.
No matter how powerful the Divine Energy remnants were, they couldn't repel the tentacles.
When the Oracle noticed how peculiar the tentacles were, she was astonished and slightly confused.
Not even the highly refined, and purified Divine Energy of the Divine God of Truth was strong enough to push the tentacles of Nial's Cursed Divie Ability away.
One had to know that Nial was still only a youngling God. It hadn't been that long since he finished his ascension. His Cursed Divinity hasn't been refined yet either.
The Oracle knew that Nial's Cursed Divinity was not sothing normal because it used the Heart of Darkness as the base. The Heart of Darkness was a creation constructed with the droplet of Cursed Divine Energy, a Fragnt of the Darkness God's Divinity, and the Symbol of Life.
Combined and reinforced, the Heart of Darkness could already be considered a Lesser Divinity without Divine Ability. However, Nial used this 'Lesser Divinity' as a re base ingredient to create his Cursed Divinity, the Heart of Gluttony.
Instead of creating several Cursed Divine abilities, which would have been possible with a Cursed Divinity on the sa level as the Heart of Gluttony, Nial focused on the creation of a single Cursed Divine Ability.
This Cursed Divine Ability possessed the potential that would have been divided into several Abilities under normal circumstances.
It was only obvious that Devour was an ability that couldn't be compared to any other Cursed Divine Ability. The Ability was a limited edition that couldn't be replicated by anyone, without exception!
Devour was exactly what Nial needed. He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible, and being able to devour a bunch of Gods, including a handful of Ancient Gods, and a Divine God, was certainly helpful in that regard.
Once the tentacles pulled the corpses into the darkness, Nial began to smile.
He retracted the darkness and turned over to the Oracle.
"I think it's about ti to go ho!"
