"The Blind Demon God!" The Sacred Snake suddenly muttered as she received an oracle from the world of The Wilde herself when she woke up about a few days earlier.
The Sacred Snake does not have the word 'sacred' just because of its white scales and almost godlike appearance. The Sacred Snake basically has qualities that a land deity has which are a half spirit body and the ability to hear the will of the world.
Land Deities are different from gods because of one fundantal thing. That fundantal thing is that Land Deities are essentially still mortal but have long life spans. If the Land Deity does not get killed by others, then it could ascend to godhood upon the end of its mortal life cycle.
All Land Deities are basically close to demigods in power at their peak age where it would only take about a decade or two before their ascension to the godly plane. The Sacred Snake however is still a very new existence for a Land Deity as she only appeared a couple of hundred years.
If a Land Deity wants to ascend to godhood earlier then they would need to strengthen themselves. If they just passively sleep all the ti, then they would take a minimum of ten thousand years for them to beco a god.
The one thing that the Land Deities have in conjunction with the gods is their need for prayers. Land Deities could also harness the power of faith but not to the amount that gods could harness. So Land Deities even form covenants with existing gods so that they could ascend faster with the help of the faith of that god.
The evolution to beco a Land Deity is not sothing every individual knows because each requirent is different for each individual. Even if they are the sa species, it does not an that they have the sa ans of becoming a Land Deity.
Although not all Land Deities decide to beco gods as so beco attached to the world or land, they are revered in and stay there for the rest of their lives. Not all Land Deities have the words like 'Sacred' to identify them as others would have 'Enlightened' or 'Exalted' as an identifier.
The Sacred Snake received an oracle from the world itself that woke her from her slumber. The Wilde never really cared for the inhabitants, so it rarely gave the Sacred Snake oracles. The last oracle that she received is the arrival of the Wolf of Disaster.
She did not particularly like that oracle because it was vague and did not tell her that the Wolf of Disaster would actually attack her. She usually just brushes off the things that the will of the world told her but this one is pretty specific.
"The world will turn to grand or to dust depending on the action of the blind demon that the gods trust." The will of the world stated to the Sacred Snake.
She did not completely hear the oracle perfectly because she was drowsy when she received it. It is not like the will of the world needs to have appointnts for the Sacred Snake to listen to it. The Sacred Snake heard different as she heard the sentence.
"The world will grand on the blind demon god."
The sentence that the Sacred Snake heard is basically different from what the will of the world actually said. She might not like the will of this world, but she knows that she must not dismiss the oracle that the will of the world gave her. Due to this, the normally sluggish and asleep Southern Overlord is awake and alert.
She waited for days so that the oracle would co true. She waited about a week for the oracle of the Wolf of Disaster to co true. She did not mind waiting for the subject of the oracle that she received as it seems to be a positive note.
She even used almost all parts of her long body to beco mist in order to beco a sensory ability. Since the southern region of the world of The Wilde is her very own Land Deity territory, she could scatter herself to all parts of the area. Her ability would be limited if she were in another's territory though.
She waited and waited until she detected movent in her territory. She thought it was the blind demon god, but it was just a young demon. She did not mind the presence of the young demon as he did not harm the inhabitants of her territory.
He was also a summoner and she detected that his soulbounds all have great attitudes which ans the young demon values the life of others. The young demon also suddenly shouted and asked to et her, but she did not care as she does not know him. She does not need to speak with him.
When she wanted to sleep once more as the oracle will not happen any ti soon, she imdiately sensed intense bloodlust in four directions of the southern territory. She could not always be in mist form that covers the territory as that is tireso for her, but she could still have slight perception when it cos to her territory.
She dealt with the four areas quickly only to feel that the area where the young demon is currently located is being attacked. The Sacred Snake thought that the young demon would be dead by now, but it seems that he had hiding chanisms as even she could barely feel his presence.
The Sacred Snake decided to still go back to that area as he rembers that the area that the young demon was located is a heavily inhabited area. She imdiately dispatched the demon wolves that attacked the poor defenseless monsters, but she lacked the healing skill to save them.
When she finished dealing with the demon wolves, she thought that she would see the small monsters taking their last breath. But she was shocked upon seeing, the young demon healing and helping the weak monsters. He even got their affection which is sothing that she rarely got as the weak monsters were scared of her despite not attacking them.
This is the mont where the southern overlord took interest in the young demon. He might not be the blind demon god that the oracle ntioned but he is helpful to her right now. She decided to observe the young demon in earnest.
When the young demon is playing with the small monsters in her territory, he suddenly commanded his dragon to emit a commanding roar. The dragon told everyone to find a place to hide as the demon wolves are coming. The Sacred Snake knew that the young demon would not command such a thing if it is not true.
The Sacred Snake increased her perception and felt the energies of a large number of demon wolves. The mots frightening thing that she felt is the energy that is that of a Child of Disaster. She knows about the Child of Disasters as she felt them when they were born to this world.
The energies surrounding the Child of Disasters is like that of their parent which is the Wolf of Disaster. The only thing that is different is the fact it is weaker compared to the actual Fenrir. She decided to make her move early and warn the young demon to escape but she is shocked once more.
She did not expect that the young demon would risk his life to fight for her territory. When she t him again, the young demon finally told him of his plan or rather the other overlord's plan. It seems that the overlords are finally starting to move to kill the Wolf of Disaster which took control of the northern part of this world.
The Sacred Snake did not refute the young demon anymore as he already made his stance. When the young demon said that he would battle, he imdiately changed form which put a blindfold on his face. The Sacred Snake wanted to ask the demon but even she has to prepare to fight the Child of Disaster, so she did not ask.
A few hours into the battle, the oracle that she received finally ca true. The blind demon god that the will of the world stated has finally graced this world. This ans that the world has acknowledge the change that is to co and the eradication of the Wolf of Disaster. The world wants the death of the personification of disaster.
She marveled at the power that the Blind Demon God used as the soulbounds that he controlled beca beings of power incarnate. The proud beasts of the Blind Demon God beca the personification of fear and power themselves while their master looked as if he could see everything present in this world.
The Sacred Snake finally decided to aid the Blind Demon God in his effort to kill the disaster. It seems that the oracle she received is true and she would make it co true. Even she holds a grudge against the Wolf of Disaster and wants to squeeze it to death.
