Chapter 911 - [Ascendance Of The G.o.ddess Of Sins And Virtues] 32/?: Another One Bites The Dust


-----


Zeus and the other Clones of Kireina quickly received her message, she had successfully killed all the G.o.ds guarding Azuma and had secured the Divine Zone there and also the Empire itself, alongside all the precious mortals inside.


"She had done things extremely efficiently, I have to admit it," said Apollo.


"She also said eating all those G.o.ds had made it enough for her to reach Rank 8… after that she will need one more Rank and then… She can become a Great G.o.ddess!" said Athena.


"Amazing! The main body is really sped running this whole world now. In no time she will become Supreme too…" chuckled Baltis.


"Hm, that might be a bit harder, as she will need to kill and eat Great G.o.ds… But more or less, we"ll be able to reach that part when we finally enter into the Central Continent, and we wreak some havoc there!" laughed Zeus.


"For now, let"s keep doing what the Main Body has ordered us to do…" said Apollo, as he continued to construct several structures using Divine Energy and Divine Materials… it was a large Divine Formation Array, a special one that would help Kireina trap all the G.o.ds within this faction inside a s.p.a.ce so she can eat them with her family.


After thinking it a lot, Kireina had decided to confront all the G.o.ds in the Lower Realm, this Divine Formation was made so she could trap them all inside with ease and then teleport right inside to devour them.


It was rather cunning, shameless, and probably very cheat-like… Was there any challenge in this?


No, Kireina was cunning and scheming because she didn"t want challenges, to begin with, she wanted to keep growing stronger because she was already striving to greater goals.


Seeking challenges was only a thing that the idiot would do, Kireina wanted to get more in the most efficient ways possible.


She was no pushover either, and would fight if she had no other option, and would do everything she could to defeat her enemies… but if she were given the chance to manipulate and scheme a plan to make everything easy to deal with, she would happily do so!


After all, this was her life, and she wanted to keep it. This was not a Shonen manga, this was her real life, and there was no point in fighting and seeking "Stakes" to grow stronger. If she could simply find ways to destroy these annoying G.o.ds as efficiently as possible, she would do so, without a single speck of doubt.


Kireina knew that soon enough, many unpredictable things might occur, so she wanted to use these opportunities to shamelessly get as much power with the least possible effort to fight against this unpredictability within the grand scheme of things.


Through the use of the Fate Thread Manipulation and the Divination of Stars, Kireina was seeing into the many possibilities of the future, and by adding her Fate Stat into the equation and then the Schrodinger Law Skill, Kireina was already seeing what some figures were planning to do for her in the future.


The System Master… she already knew that this guy was beginning to build up plans for her, he had begun to contact many ent.i.ties… within the possible futures, she saw herself fighting Freyja, the Great G.o.ddess of Dreams and Nightmares, alongside many other Great G.o.ds, she didn"t know when exactly this would happen, but the more she knew and the more she thought about evading this, the futures would keep changing and modifying.


Amongst the sea of probabilities, even with all her future-seeing powers, she was still doubtful about the possibility of her being able o evade all these problems… This was why she desired to devour everything she could for the moment. Taking advantage of everything and not recklessly charging into battle like many idiotic Main Characters in the many fictional stories that there were.


Although Kireina still considered herself stupid and ignorant, she tried to use everything she had to her advantage.


If she didn"t have enough perspicacity, she simply needed to use her Fate Abilities to her advantage to make up for it.


Meanwhile, the other children of Zeus, such as Aphrodite and Hermes, began to wonder what that strange feeling of was lost they felt… they were still unaware that their children had been eaten as Zeus had cut their Divine Connection with them.


However, they were still within their Divine Realms…


By Kireina"s request, Zeus had decided to call Hermes out of nowhere into Apollo"s Divine Realm while.


He couldn"t help but feel like there was no need to go see his father as he was resting, but it seemed to be "very important" and Zeus refused to elaborate further.


Hermes quickly got inside of the Divine Realm, flying inside Apollo"s Palace.


There, he found Zeus with Baltis, Athena, and Artemis.


"Ah… my son… Hermes…" said Zeus.


"Father, what is going on?" asked Hermes concerned, seeing that his father was suddenly looking very sickly, and Artemis, Athena, and Baltis were crying sorrowfully.


"Father… Father"s soul…" muttered Athena.


"I think he might end up dying. Kireina left a large wound that keeps expanding…" said Artemis.


"What? We need to move him to the central continent then! There are several G.o.ds there that could heal Souls, I believe…" said Hermes, trying to hurriedly move his father there.


"Hermes…" muttered Zeus, the look of his proud father looking so pathetic made Hermes pity him, feeling bad that his father was reduced to such a state.


He slowly walked to his side and hugged him.


"Resist, for now, father, we"ll get you healed," he said.


"Oh, Hermes… What a good child you are… a very… good child…" said Zeus, his tone of voice suddenly feeling odd to Hermes, as a crimson-red aura resurged from within Zeus very being.


Suddenly, Hermes found his arms which he used to hug Zeus being… stuck into Zeus" skin, as some kind of sticky slime was making him get stuck into it!


"This… What is going on?!" asked Hermes, he was beginning to feel dread all over himself, death was near!


Athena, Artemis, and Baltis suddenly fell silent, as they glared back at him.


Hermes suddenly unleashed his Divine Aura and Divinity, fusing them and then enhancing his entire body, he was trying to run away using his famous speed!


However, Zeus tightly grasped his soul with his hands, making him groan in pain.


"Another fish has taken the bait…" said Zeus.


"F-Fish?! What?! Father… Y-You"re not the father!" cried Hermes.


Flas.h.!.+


Suddenly, a Divine Formation emerged around Apollo"s Palace, trapping the G.o.d inside.


"This… Apollo made this formation?! Why are you all… who are you!?" asked Hermes in desperation, glaring at everyone around him as he sensed their eyes gleaming with malice.


After a few seconds, all of their eyes turned crimson-red, and the presence that he had already experienced before emerged from them… this was Kireina"s presence.


A presence of dread like nothing he had ever felt, the presence of something unknown, deep, and abyssal…


It was so shocking to sense that Hermes began to tremble in fear!


He tried to use his Abilities, but Athena, Artemis, and Baltis quickly generated chains made of light and darkness from their hands, entangling his entire body and soul with them. Such chains began to cancel his ability to use divine energy!


"Nnnghh…! W-What kind of power is this?!" asked Hermes.


"It shouldn"t work properly if we had not set up a proper Formation yet…" laughed Athena.


"Indeed, these chains are originally weak, but the formation enhances their power while suppressing yours… How convenient," said Artemis.


"Another one bites the dust!" laughed Baltis.


"K-Kireina! W-What have you done to them?! To my sisters… to father?!" asked Hermes while struggling, but Zeus quickly grasped his neck and began to press it.


"Unngraagghh…!"


"In simple terms, Hermes. I have become them," laughed Zeus.


"No… It"s… impossible…! Father"s might… is overwhelming! How could he lose?!" cried Hermes, as his neck quickly cracked by Zeus" immense hands crus.h.i.+ng them.


Crack…!


The moment his neck was broken, his soul was absorbed by Zeus like a noodle, being eaten completely by internal and abyssal maws!


"GRRUUUUUAAAHHHH…!"


A second after, it was done.


"Hmph, there"s no need to give any explanations to a dead man anyway," laughed Zeus, as he expanded his soul, cut a piece of it, and then inserted it inside Hermes" physical body.


Hermes Divine Core was not eaten and was left inside the split soul, like the other Clone G.o.ds.


This way, the G.o.ds could still have their Divine Realms for easy access, making their façade more believable.


"One left…" said Zeus.


"Indeed… Now, Dyonisos and Aphrodite are next, right?" asked Hermes, quickly standing up again, his neck healed itself and he smiled maliciously… he was no longer the same spirited man of before.


"Ah, those two are such a low threat compared to us… They"ll be easy to take over," laughed Athena.


-----


As I went to my secret area of rest, I entered my Divine Realm and had lunch with my family.


Afterward, I quickly decided to raise to Rank 8 and fight the next Heavenly Calamity!


However, before that, I suddenly received a sudden burst of power.


Ding!


[You acquired the [Divinity of Traversing Roads (Wind/Light/Soul) (Hermes)]!]


[You gained +600.000 Divine Energy, +400.000 Aether, +300.000 Fate, +400.000 Ki]


[You learned the [Transcendental Road-Traversing Divine Techniques: Level 1] Skill!]


Boop, another G.o.d bites the dust.


Man, what with those stats? Are you so miserable, Hermes? Give some more!


Sheesh, why did I got so little from this guy? I am really getting stale?


I will prob continue to get fewer and fewer bonus stats from eating G.o.ds I suppose… Soon enough, I will have to go a step further and get a new standard and get some Great G.o.ds on my plate.


Anyways, now that I have setter up barriers around, alongside my new unexpected Tree Daughter, Druantia, I decided to let the over acc.u.mulated power reach my entire existence.


Like a rush of new power, the energy encompa.s.ses my entire being, and a wave of this power breaks through a gigantic wall with a loud cras.h.i.+ng sound.


Ding!


[You have Ranked up to Rank 8 of the G.o.ddess Realm!]


[A Heavenly Calamity will be summoned!]


Crack… crack!


The s.p.a.ce around me begins to fragment, shatter, and open, as I am greeted by something new, a new and big monster!


Well, technically not a monster, these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are soulless and not even made of what monsters are made of, they"re complete embodiments of attribute particles.


CRAs.h.!.+


s.p.a.ce opens up more for the big boy coming up.


Oh, h.e.l.lo there.


The ent.i.ty doesn"t release any sound, it simply glares at me as it slowly hovers towards me.


What I am watching right now resembles an enormous crystal cube. The crystal is blue colored, almost aquamarine, and on its center, there is a circular jewel of red color.


It exudes an aura of s.p.a.ce and Time Attribute, and it is glaring directly at me.


It doesn"t have eyes though.


And this thing size is… ridiculous, it is as big as a mountain, and hovering all over the flat land below us, it is easily blocking the sun and all.


The Cube feels like it warps s.p.a.ce and time around itself, my perception of self and my surroundings warps around as well, and it becomes harder to actually make sense of the situation…


Suddenly, it shoots a laser of s.p.a.ce and time against me.


I s.h.i.+eld myself with several layers of Heavenly Law Decree and Heavenly Law Embodiment fused with other Abilities such as Monarch of Gluttony!


CLAs.h.!.+


The beam begins to slowly… warp the entire barrier!


It is not destroying it, it is simply molding it around, and suddenly, an opening emerges!


I quickly open my enormous jaws and devour the beam, but when I devour it, I feel like my entire being twists and gibbers…


What was that?


It seems that the combination of s.p.a.ce and Time makes this Heavenly Calamity an interesting one…


But if I can defeat it… I could get even more Time Attribute Particles!
