I was feeling relaxed. It had been days since I had returned from that place where Callidora had sent . I never wanted to enter a multiversal entity again. I felt so insignificant that I could only hope not to be noticed.
I spent those days without looking for any God, without being visible to anyone. That's why I made Okan hide in the Arboreal Star System with the Sacred Beasts, so he would go unnoticed for a while.
Thanks to that, I spent my days with my wives. I chose to spend my ti doing exactly what they like to do.
My mornings always start with combat training with Diana. She is addicted to battles and at our level it becos difficult to find training partners. Our fights are always so intense that they could destroy an entire planet. Okan has to rebuild his stars every day, where the worlds inside him are, because of that.
After that, I go hunting during lunch with Ibuki, where the food is whatever we can catch. Hunting has always been her favorite. It was the first thing I taught her to do and it's also how we t. Not to ntion that the food she catches herself has a different flavor to her.
In the afternoon, I study magic, curses, and other magical things with Erica. Her curiosity and dedication to magic have always been very great. Her love for magic could even be greater than her love for if it weren't for being her emotional support.
After that, I spend ti with Kira. Out of all my wives, she's the most normal. Our ti consists of sitting around a fireplace talking. For an assassin and spy like her, I think she sotis likes to have mories that don't involve risking soone's life and without the red color of blood.
Freya is with all the ti, living inside Tarzor. She's not alive because of the two entities of Visa and Death creating their bodies inside Tarzor. So my ti with her is limited to daily conversations.
Karina, on the other hand, was busy. She didn't want to spend ti with , saying that she always feels close to . Being my Saint, she's not wrong, but I feel like she's busy with other things, and I can only imagine what they are.
When it was ti to sleep, we would all be together. It was like going back to the old days before I kidnapped Irius and Irina.
During that ti, Hinata also woke up, but she didn't seem any different. Everything was the sa. I also asked her about the silhouette I saw next to her, but she said she didn't know what I was talking about.
I was really apprehensive about that. For so reason, that mory seed to have been burned into my brain with a hot iron. I can't forget it even if I wanted to.
Just today, I was gathered with my wives in a heated lake made of water sanctified with multiple reinforcent magics of all kinds. Only this kind of extre thing would be able to relax a God like and my Wives, but these waters could probably even lt the Soul of a normal person.
"You know, I've really enjoyed the last few days, but this can't go on." (Diana)
"I know, but spending another 1 or 2 months shouldn't be a problem..." ()
"For , we'd stay like this forever, but I agree with Diana, there are still Gods who sided with Baldr scattered around." (Kira)
"I receive information both from the Dragon God's Oracles and from conversations with other Priests of various religions." (Karina)
"It seems that most of the Gods don't want to continue this hunt against all the traitors." (Karina)
Karina may not be a Goddess, but she's still a Saint of 2 Gods and a Dragon of equal power to the Primordial Dragons, if she's not considered one of them.
What they're talking about has been said before, Kira and Diana have a very strong sense of responsibility, relaxing while they still have work to do leaves an itch in their minds.
"Strange, they were together with Baldr who was on the Ascendants' side." (Ibuki)
"We should be hunting them all in a one-sided slaughter, taking advantage of the advantage." (Ibuki)
"There are still Gods who think so, but they are few, they are still the majority considering the enemy number at least." (Karina)
"You are thinking too much about all this, just think, we are going against Gods, we have already killed or sealed several so far because of Baldr." (Erica)
"What do you think will happen to the universe? Who will take care of their Divinities and Essences? What are the consequences on a universal scale?" (Erica)
"..." (all)
"Erica is right, even if we must eliminate the enemies, we cannot forget their identities as Gods, especially now that we have lost so many of them and many others are injured." (Freya)
"I could easily take care of this if I had your Divinities..." ()
"No!!!" (all of them)
I look at all of them, Freya standing out for being just a small tree coming out of the water, in fact it is just one of her branches coming out of my shadow below the water, she can't get out yet stuck with the two Entities.
"..." ()
"Zenos, if you were to interfere, you would create new Essences during the creation of new Gods instead of creating Gods for existing Essences." (Erica)
"She's right." (Freya)
We continued the rest of the day talking about matters of universal importance while relaxing in the warm waters of that lake.
-----------------
3 days later.
It finally happened, a little over two weeks was all the ti off I could get, it did a lot of good to spend ti with family and friends, I even managed to spend so ti with my children, realizing once again how many I have.
Right now I was outside Okan, next to were Hades, Nix, Sakura, Alice, Vanessa, Samara and Niryna.
They represent the entire leadership system in Okan, from the religion with the two saints, to my Familiars, my wives, my Heralds and my daughters, they are also people I can trust with the exception of Samara who I only have complete control over.
The one who was alone in front of us was Davoth, I would not allow him to enter Okan again and this ti he did not even try to crawl inside, he ca before the foot of the Ki Tree for this eting, which I thought for a good few hours about whether he would co or not even with Vanessa's insistence.
We were all on one of the branches of the Ki Tree that was as big as a planet, this branch could very well be a small continent, a natural structure of wood and crystals with a delicate architecture created a beautiful open-air eting room.
"No sneak attacks now?" ()
"You deserved it and knew you wouldn't get another chance." (Davoth)
"Wanting to start another fight?" ()
"If it weren't for being restricted by the universe and none of us taking that fight seriously, do you think you would have been able to win?" (Davoth)
"How about everyone calm down? You are Gods, behave like it." (Vanessa)
"..." ()
"..." (Davoth)
I was just joking now, I admit I was a little out of control the day we fought, my mood was terrible, but during these days that I cald down I noticed so inconsistencies in the way Davoth acted, everything was very forced and I'm more willing to believe it was an act.
Just now I was just teasing him a little to see his reaction, a way to confirm his personality and how much of what I saw before was an act, which he showed very clearly now as if he understood what was going through my head.
"(He's smart, but it seems like the others didn't notice.)" ()
"Let's stop all this, you're looking for for a reason, so let's get to the point." ()
"I'll do it then." (Davoth)
"I want you to destroy all the Ascendants." (Davoth)
"..." ()
"..." (everyone)
I just looked at him like I was seeing a lunatic, he summarized the matter too much that it's sothing impossible to do.
I look at the others who are just as shocked as , Samara being the only one to narrow her eyes at Davoth while Callidora appears from Niryna's back while smiling at this whole situation.
Sigh
"Let's start over, explain to why I should listen to you?" ()
"Do you know anything about the Ascendants?" (Davoth)
"I know a little, they have a hierarchical governnt system, they have many God-level individuals, they are conquerors by nature and their universe has an unnatural environnt full of natural restrictions, it seems stagnant." ()
"In essence that would be it, not everything, but that is the main thing." (Davoth)
"The conquest of universes by the Ascendants carries two motivations." (Davoth)
"The first being what started it all, to use the power of the conquered universes to keep their own Universe fortified, thus preventing the invasion of the Creatures of the Abyss." (Davoth)
"Cannibalizing other universes like this for selfish gains..." ()
"As I said before, this was just the starting point, if this were the only reason, they wouldn't need to do this so often." (Davoth)
"Their second reason is change, as you said yourself, your universe as well as those conquered by them becos stagnant, their Ascending Laws refine the essence into a fixed constant, there is no variation, change or evolution." (Davoth)
"Because of this, living creatures do not prosper, there is no innovation, there is no adaptation, there is no creativity and with enough ti all this stagnation leads to the destruction of the Soul that in itself carries the concept of change that all creatures should possess." (Davoth)
"For them, conquering is their option... a dead end that they cannot change precisely because of who they are." (Davoth)
"I hate the Ascended and sympathize with their victims... but..." ()
"What does this have to do with ?" ()
