Chapter 537 - A Grey World

There was a round table of all the gods in a row . All of the remaining lower gods were present. All of them were gathered for only one thing the prelude to the war . The Abyss born wanted to start a divine war. And their only chance was to bring up the island. For their presence on the island was breaking the divine pact . Between the gods and the humans.

A table between the clouds where the light of sun was reflected by a sunroof . A nice place for informal discussion.

Where angels serving the gods alongside bought them food , drinks , and using wind magic to

So firstly , they wanted to hear the account of the goddess of the sea . Why she didn't drown them in the water . And why did she let them pass .

Redro the God of Justice began . Even though he didn't want to . Redro was stuck somewhere in between he wanted to live in the lands whilst keeping the good relations with the gods.

Redro would only try to delay the inevitable though.

Redro :

The humans have agreed to ascend to the heavenly court .

Where the decision will be made.

Darkness :

Is it true that you failed to stop them in your own domain .

Sea Godess .

The God of darkness Noctis the counterpart of Luminos . They both constitute the cycle of day and night. But since Luminos's death . It was customary that his powers should increase as the light has died. But it didn't happen .

Sea :

These crafty humans , they paid tributes and offerings to allow them safe travels. This is unacceptable.

Death :

Why not just end their lives . I'll guide them to their death myself.

The God of death and life . After their death are returned to the goddess of life to be reincarnated and the task itself is done by the God of death.

At first this was the cycle . There was no underworld , but it was manifested into existence because of humans . Not because of their deeds but because this is what humans wanted. For revenge. So the God of death became a reaper now judging them for the sins which he wasn't supposed to do.

And after seeing humans burn in inferno . He came to despise the process itself. Thus this was his reason for turning the world into nothingness.

The only thing that the God of Death hates are those he cannot touch . Namely the three immortals

Whereas for goddess of life. She takes the souls of the deceased and reincarnated them as per need. A soul is like a battery . It takes charge of a person's consciousness, and drives the body . And when drained the person does. Just like a cell. Whenever lives end each other's existence . She used to be sad . Then as time went by she understood that this won't stop death .

Because just like other she saw wars , bloodshed , violence .

Peace and Life they are like two peas in a pod .

Life :

Death all lives are precious , they deserve to live their lives in full .

Kaos :

Are the almighty gods feigning ignorance from the abyss .

Consuming both the heavens , the lands and the world underneath.

Darkness :

If this is what our master wishes , we have no qualms about it .

Darkness :

That human Jay Garrick is the enemy of our master . Has joined the humans. And so he is my enemy .

Death :

This is blasphemy against us . We need a divine war .

Redro tried to interject .

Redro ;

Divine war requires a righteous reason . Both sides one good and one evil . And this is a world full of grey .

Life :

The humans are grouping together and even taking our followers in their midst . This is affecting our power .

Darkness :

We also have more regional gods by our side . We don't need anything else .

Love :

We need to take our followers and take them to the heavens where they can be safe from their clutches.

Peace :

There is only one path to peace I can see . Why not just use our Godly power to ravage the lands . The total silence will let us be in peace.

Kaos :

Your delusion are not helping here . If the humans die where will you get the remaining mana .

And think about it . If we go to war now , we would have to wait for longer.

Darkness :

We can always wait . Our lives will be fulfilled even if our master's take us to nirvana.

Sea :

There was an archangel on the island , that day . Who of you sent an archangel there.

Death :

An archangel ? That shouldn't be possible , they wouldn't dare move without our command. Is it a fallen one.

Sea :

No , brother death , it was not a fallen one and not only that it got defeated. By master's enemy .

Peace :

Master's enemy's death is needed for true peace . For master will take us to nirvana.

Kaos :

I know you crave peace . But just think before speaking.

The goddess of peace a goddess whose beauty and grace match the goddess of love . She looks like a maiden before falling in love . She preaches peace to her followers and how to avoid chaos and achieve stability .

But in reality due to the definition of Peace is absence of violence . She became cynical and psychotic over the years . For this world was such that there was violence everywhere . Violence , bloodshed , death and destruction a d chaos It was all part of the lands from the very beginning .

She tried to fix everything but everytime she did , the world would fall into deeper chaos. For this her psyche despite being a God broke down. And she began craving for her master's embrace where she could find true peace .

The Lord of the Abyss . Father of the Abyss born .

She had always held Kaos liable for everything that happens In the lands . But she was made to understand that without chaos even the world will not exist. True peace is just the absence of everything that can cause chaos . Which is pure oblivion.

Even if they have godly powers their sanity is not the same.

They maintain their sanity through their Godly complex.

Always knowing that you are better than everyone and everything else. And you have no peer above you.

Standing at the pinnacle of existence. You start to look down on others.

But this complex was shattered due to excessive failures which bore a stress as she wasn't able to fullfill her responsibility. For what she offered was a temporary sanctuary .

Peace :

Only if you weren't here Kaos . Everything will be peaceful.

You are the cause for all of this .

Redro :

Be graceful , Peace Goddess . We are not here to fight . You are disrupting the peace and becoming paradoxical from your nature.

The peace goddess still blamed Kaos .

Peace :

For peace to be bestowed upon the lands . There shall be a divine war . But not upon the humans but Kaos .

ABSOLUTE DOMAIN

Suddenly an axe was thrown in her direction and before she could activate her domain . The axe made her flinch and cancel her domain . The axe was thrown none other than the apostle of the God of Chaos . Arkos the celestial wargod .

A strong buffed man with his signature twin axes and four astral arms which manifests themselves in combat or other situations. His axes have the entire star systems mapped in them and there is a hole in the axes which fits a miniature sun . Which gives a lot less heat than its big counterpart.

Arkos represent war . And gives blessings to those who go to war . Hos believers are people mostly working as soldiers , military and security . He even empowered Jay with his blessings as he recognized him as the new apostle .

Had Jay gone the Godly route he would eventually ascend to becoming the exalted apostle of Kaos. He would become the reincarnation of Chaos itself. But that story belongs in a other timeline.

Arkos :

Forgive me for this blasphemous action . I am willing to atone for this sin with my death . But I cannot forgive malice against my master .

Redro :

Goddess of peace you have tried to harm the God of Chaos willingly . There shall be consequences in due time .

And let me make it clear if there cannot be a just reason then cannot be a divine war.

Redro was trying to stop the divine war from happening .

Secretly trying to foil their plan . He wanted to bring to the heavens for the same reason . To stop the divine war . And prevent the Lord of the Abyss from winning . By helping his proclaimed enemy.

Every power out there was spinning their own plots. Before the war of arms begin there is always the war of the minds.

The artificial intelligence fully working in overclocked mode in three sites. The MEP site , the strategy and simulation and the maintainance of the economy.

The divine war is about to dawn on the lands which will finally decide . Will the gods wipe out the world before the abyss or will the humans still persist and win their right to live their own life.
