Chapter 920 - [Ascendance Of The Goddess of Sins and Virtues] 41/?: Preparing For The Confrontation ----- 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 The Gods of the Lower Realm were growing impatient as Zeus continued to rest and his family had still to give them an order on what to do next, everyone was counting on Baltis to create divination, while Apollo gathered materials to create a special formation to trap Kireina and not let her teleport anymore. Nonetheless, the Gods were growing impatient and so did the two Realm Menaces, which one of them had run back to his own Kingdom after getting bored of waiting, Vretrion, the Realm Menace of Pride. The Dragon Gods, however, were still gathered together and sharing energies to grow stronger, while the three dark flames, the tyrants of the Lower Realm were growing impatient, they had already seen one of Kireina's clones decimating dozens of Demigods in a second, and they d?s?r?d to destroy her at all costs if possible, without being merciful at all! Defeating her was the top priority at hand, yet it has already been a few hours since the Yggdrasil Branch was stolen by her, and the Gods were growing worried that she might have just forgotten about them all together and her powers could somehow ignore or fool Baltis, the Goddess of Stargazing Eyes, predictions. It was also a possibility that she might have just escaped into another Realm! However, the Gods were held in high hopes that such a thing has not happened yet. Although they were afraid of her, the Lower Realm Gods were more afraid of another being, Zeus himself. He had showcased such amount of power when he conquered and enslaved them all that the Gods had grown instinctively fearful of him… They couldn't think of any way for him to completely lose against Kireina, even when he was wounded by her clone, there should be a way for him to somehow come back one way or another. The Gods were in high hopes for Zeus to be recovering and fine, while waiting for the moment to strike, for Baltis to come and predict where Kireina might be and to go there, trap her in the special formation and decimate her and anyone with her once and for all. These Gods, especially the Dark Flames d?s?r?d to defeat her so much because Zeus had promised to free them after they were to defeat and kill Kireina, and their resolve to fight such a monstrosity even if the odds were not in their favor was their new purpose. All the Gods in the Lower Ream d?s?r?d freedom from Zeus claws, and decimating Kireina would offer them freedom once more! Even if it seemed insane, it is not like they ever had any other option, right? In the end, Zeus could simply destroy or devour them himself, that he allowed them to kill her and free themselves was already the best possible scenario that could have happened. Instead of having been killed and eaten by him, they were given the chance of surviving by doing something that not many would think was realistic, but they had numbers and were many. And even then, they also had Zeus and his whole family to ?ssist them, things couldn't possibly go wrong, no matter what! There were also the Dragon Gods, they all were strong in their own way, and even more, the Gods of the Azuma Empire had also come! If all of them fused their power against Kireina, things seemed to have suddenly turned brighter than they had thought they could be! However, this couldn't be far from the truth… Nonetheless, the gods continued to feed themselves with the thought that they could actually win and reach somewhere, as there was no other thing that they could think of or anything else that they could grasp the last hopes they had for surviving this whole ordeal. And as this happened, within Kireina's Divine Realm, the monstrosity that now had become a complete threat to the entire world was continuing to grow stronger in the backs of everyone, waiting to surprise them and destroy them. And just as she rested and had a relaxed moment with her family while everyone else was getting concerned for their lives, she suddenly received two more Divinities, boosting her strength a little bit. ----- As I was resting with my family, I got a message from my Zeus clone. It seems that they had managed to successfully kill and eat Dyonisos Divine Soul, alongside Heras Divine Soul, the wife of Zeus! I realized this the moment their residual souls emerged inside of my Divine Realm and gathered with the other Residual Souls, becoming mere mortal souls now after I had completely eaten everything else that gave them power. A rush of divine power showered my entire body as I felt like I was evolving, my entire being upgraded itself, as my soul flowed with a slightly great quantity of new power. Perhaps it was not enough to reach Rank 9 yet, but it was good enough to nourish myself into my next level of strength. I was feeling excited by merely imagining what I could become if I were to reach Great God Rank, so this little incentive is all I needed before beginning my next course of action… Ding! [You acquired the [Divinity of Motherhood (Life, Emotions) (Heras)]!] [You learned the [Transcendental Sacred Life and Nature Attribute Source: Level 1] Skill!] (Assimilated by Superior Path Jewel!) [You learned the [Transcendental Motherhood of Life Attribute Source: Level 1] Skill!] (Assimilated by Superior Path Jewel!) [You gained +25.000.000.000 Primordial Essence, +2.000.000 Divine Energy, +700.000 Aether, +450.000 Fate, and +300.000 Ki!] This power seems quite good enough! I decided to glance at my stats, as I was once more amazed a little bit as I grew even more ridiculously faster than before. … [Name: [Kireina Dark Moon] [Divine Title: [Archdemon Goddess of Shattered Space and Disrupted Time], [Archdemon Goddess of The Primeval Tree of Life and Nature], [Archdemon Goddess of The Cursed Blood Sea], [Goddess of Soul-Consuming Phantasmal Hellish Crimson Flames], [Goddess of Sky-Piercing Lightning], [Goddess of Fantastical Elusive Dreams and Terrifying Abyssal Nightmares], [Goddess of Disrupting Chaos and Emptying Void], [Goddess of Nightmarish Destruction and Heavenly Creation], [Undeath Deity of Chaotic Sins and Heavenly Commandments] [Divine Authorities: [Origin Core Laws], [System], [Deadly Sins], [Heavenly Commandments], [Destruction & Creation], [Primordial Chaos], [Life & Nature] [Divine Rank: 8/9 Of the Goddess Realm] [Divine Soul: [Divine Soul Realm (Goddess: Rank 8): Soul of Nightmarish Destruction and Heavenly Creation] [Divine Core: [Goddess (Rank 8): Divine Core of Abyssal and Sinful Destruction and Divine and Heavenly Commandments] [Divine Realm: [Divine Realm of Abyssal and Nightmarish Hell and Bright and Divine Heavens] [Primordial Divine Tree of Life [Yggdrasil]: [Young Tree Sapling Realm] [Infernal Archdemon Core: [Low-Rank Archdemon Demon (Initial Stage)] [Races: [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Archdemon Goddess of Shattered Space and Disrupted Time (Unique Species)], [World Dungeon], [Child of the Primordial Deity of Chaos], [Divine Tree of Life] [Evolution History: [Common Forest Caterpillar], [Undine Butterfly], [Dark Moon Illusion Butterfly], [Vampire Butterfly], [Crimson Moon Vampire Fairy Empress], [Soul Devouring Vampire Fairy Empress], [Supreme Vampire Fairy of the Sin of Lust (Unique Species)], [Dungeon], [Vampire Fairy Undeath Deity Monarch of Deadly Sins and Heavenly Commandments (Unique Species)], [Divine Dungeon], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Goddess of Nightmarish Destruction and Heavenly Creation (Unique Species)], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Goddess of Disrupting Chaos and Emptying Void (Unique Species)], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Goddess of Fantastical Illusive Dreams and Terrifying Abyssal Nightmares (Unique Species)], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Goddess of Sky-Piercing Lightning (Unique Species)], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy of Soul-Consuming Phantasmal Hellish Crimson Flames (Unique Species)], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Archdemon Goddess of the Cursed Blood Sea (Unique Species)], [Primordial Chaos Vampire Fairy Archdemon Goddess of The Primeval Tree of Life and Nature (Unique Species)] [Special System Functions: [Mortal Realm Classification Deciphering], [Divine Dungeon Capabilities], [Divine Dungeon Shop (Rank 3)] [Divine Points (Rank 3: Goddess Realm): 2.401.250] [Current Primordial Essence: 595.000.000.000] [Status: Undeath Archdemon Goddess] [Interdimensional Storage World (Storage: Endless)] [Divine Energy: 34.500.000]{+1.000.000} [Aether: 17.900.000]{+700.000} [Fate: 10.580.000]{+400.000} [Ki: 13.630.000]{+700.000} [Attribute Particles] [Diverged Attributes: [Illusion/Emotions: 16.400], [Dream/Nightmare: 12.200], [Phantom: 9.100], [Blood: 8.200], [Poison: 6.100], [Soul: 9.000], [Nature: 18.000], [Thunder: 11.700], [Ice: 4.200], [War/Strength: 6.900] [Greater Attributes: [Chaos: 13.000], [Fate: 12.900], [Void: 8.200], [System: 15.600], [Law: 15.100] … Excellent, my Divine Energy is already at 34 million, this is enough for what I will do next, and even then, now that I am constantly absorbing Void Essence and eating Dream Worlds, my Divine Energy regeneration has multiplied several times. Aether is nearing 18 million, which means that my magic-based attacks or long-ranged attacks that are not purely physical deal a ton of damage, I might be already in the realm of Great Goddess strength-wise. My Fate is in an amazing number, most Gods have less than one million, Zeus only had around 1 Million so… Yeah, I got a lot of it, I am super lucky and charismatic! And my Ki is also outstanding, but even as a Goddess, it seems that my specialization is still long-ranged attacks with my Aether being at a higher number than Ki. Additionally, my Nature Attribute Particles, Life Attribute Particles, and Illusion/Emotion Attribute Particles increased a bit… To think that attacking with a bunch of sharp wood is now stronger than the blackholes I can generate… I guess that's just the supernatural nature of Attribute Particles and the real power of attributes. After all, Black Holes I generate are magic-made (or well, divine-made), and are bound by my quantity of attribute particles. I suppose the "laws of physics" or whatever my memories learned from that one magic-less earth don't apply here, or perhaps they do apply in the great scheme of things? I don't understand really well where the line between real physics and then the magic-based phenomenon is made… perhaps magic-based ones are actually everything, and the ones that humans in this magic-less world understood as laws of physics are not the actual truth, but a flawed understanding of a place where there isn't enough magic to explain such phenomena? Okay, maybe I am getting too much into this thought process, I need to clean up my mind. After eating and replacing Dionysus and Heras, Zeus and the other clones remained within Apollo's Divine Realm, cooking up the big divine formation that will trap all the Gods for me to devour. And what should I do in the meantime? Isn't that a give? I am going to go steal Vretrion's Kingdom and let Brontes slaughter this guy. According to my surveillance, such as my spying slime clones deposited there, Vretrion is waiting within his Tower, alongside the God with him, this guy was his major benefactor through his entire life, a God named Khustia, the God of Abyssal Blight. Well, this guy is a mere snack too, so we are pretty much going to go there watch Brontes beat the shit out of Vretrion more than anything, it will be a nice spectacle. I wish I could have let Altani eat Baltis, or Alice eating Zeus, but when I asked them if they would have wanted to do that, they said they mostly didn't care… So yeah, I guess they just don't give a damn overall. As I was thinking all of this, Brontes came back to the castle, of course, her size reduced. "I am ready…" she said, exuding the power of a Rank 4 Goddess. Yup, my Brontes is already Rank 4 Goddess! This is thanks to intense Dual Cultivation sessions, eating my Divine Soul Fragments, and also using Charlotte's help to craft special Divine Concoctions and other consumable items made of Divine Materials, which hastened her cultivation speed even more. Well, she also ate like a few thousand Thunder Attribute Divine Beast inside Babel, she goes there daily to just hunt endlessly. With all of this and her amazing artifact, the golden club she always carries, which is now a True Rank Divine Realm Artifact, we are ready to depart! . . .
