Chapter 33 - meeting of deities

Kon stands over the open tomb, his coat trailing in the stale crypt air.

The rotten corpse of Dracula — once terror of empires — lies stiff in the dim light, stripped of all dread.

Kon runs his gloved fingers along the decaying ribcage, almost gentle — almost reverent. Then that thin smile cuts his face.

> Kon (calmly, low)

"We did jump through time, you know. Because patience is for men — not for kings."

He lifts his eyes to Victor, who watches like a loyal hound in the shadows.

> Victor (bowed, quiet)

"What will you do with this rotting corpse, my lord?"

Kon chuckles softly — the sound like ice cracking. He stands, eyes glinting.

> Kon

"Consume him. Consume Tsukime. Consume the Void Gem.

And when the pieces fit — the old world burns in my blood."

A brief silence. Then Kon's smile fades, replaced by that dead calm.

> Kon

"But first — we attend the meeting. The Supreme Deity waits."

Victor bows deeper, voice hushed:

> Victor

"As you wish — my Majesty."

Kon snaps the tomb shut with one boot — the echo rolling like thunder through centuries of stone

Scene: Kon at the Supreme Tribunal

Kon steps through the dimensional rift, Victor, Remji, Fuko, and Hazo behind him.

The air shifts — a vortex of cold light, then stone platforms floating like islands in a void.

They land. Shadows of enormous pillars, winged watchers, other ancient gods — all watching silently.

A black-robed servant appears from the mist, head low:

> Servant: "Welcome, Lord Kon. Please take your place."

Kon says nothing — just glances at Victor.

Victor smirks, Fuko bows slightly, Remji cracks his neck.

They all step forward onto the floating stone platform.

It drifts — carrying them above a vast obsidian table surrounded by towering chairs.

At the center — the main throne, and a lady sits there: the Supreme Deity, watching Kon calmly.

Kon's stone stops to her left. He sits, leg crossed, arms resting.

His coat drapes like a shadow. He doesn't greet anyone — just lights a smoke, eyes half closed.

The other gods — like figures in the image — glare, whisper, shift uncomfortably.

None of them speak first.

Victor leans down, whispers:

> Victor: "As you wish, my lord… all of them will kneel today, if you ask."

Kon exhales smoke. Doesn't even answer.

He just smiles — cold, calm — and waits for the Supreme Deity to speak.

Scene: Kon vs Zeus, Ares, and the Gods

Kon exhales smoke. He doesn't bow, doesn't stand — just stares lazily at Zeus sitting opposite, next throne at the head.

Kon (casual, mocking):

> "Wsp, Lord Zeus."

The other gods shift. Zeus narrows his eyes — thunder hums low behind his voice.

Zeus:

> "Who are you, child? You speak my name as if you're my equal."

Kon flicks ash off his cigarette.

Kon:

> "Someone from Earth, maybe. You may say I'm the descendant of Dracula."

The chamber murmurs — some laugh, some frown.

Zeus leans forward, voice echoing like rolling clouds:

Zeus:

> "I see… Vlad the Impaler — ruthless, feared, power-hungry."

Kon smiles faintly — a tiny tilt of his head, amused.

> "Yeah. And more."

At the far end, the god Nerose watches Kon like a hawk — silent, eyes glinting.

Ares, tapping his armored fingers on the table, snorts and leans forward.

Ares (mocking):

> "A little vampire spawn. After this meeting, I'll crush you myself — hunt down every drop of Dracula's rotten blood."

Scene — "Kon at the Divine Council" (continued)

---

Victor stands behind Kon — black coat, spine straight, hands folded behind his back. He leans forward, whispers into Kon's ear.

The gods can't hear it.

The audience can't hear it.

Only Nerose watches — eyes like a serpent's — and thinks:

Nerose (to himself)

> "If I were you, Ares, I wouldn't test him. That 'magician' — Kon — is not just a mortal. That man whispering in his ear? Victor — a swordsman who could cut the air itself. Those two shadows behind him? They'd tear this whole council apart before you could lift your spear."

Ares grunts, fists tight — but says nothing.

Kon's smile widens — teeth showing in a shark grin, eyes closed as Victor whispers on.

No one knows what is being promised. But Nerose sees the flicker — and smirks to himself:

> "I met him once in another realm. I survived because I bowed."

Then — the room shifts.

A door of starlight opens — the goddess Asherah enters, draped in flowing divine silk. The other gods lean back — but Kon rises.

He doesn't bow low — just a slight nod, one palm on his chest.

Kon:

> "Good to see you, my Highness. I have seen many goddesses — but none quite so radiant. Even with my unworthy blood, I'm honored to stand before you."

Asherah stops — amused — her lips curve.

> "You are… something else, Kon. So bold — yet polite."

Kon doesn't break his grin — eyes half open.

> "Boldness is survival. And the last descendant of Dracula does not kneel for free — but to you, my Highness, I shall."

He bows slightly — enough to show power, not weakness.

Asherah's fingertips brush under his chin — lifts his face.

> "You interest me. If you were truly loyal — my daughter would adore you. Perhaps I would too…"

Murmurs around the table — a few gods clench teeth. Ares grinds his jaw.

Zeus drums his fingers — thunder flickers behind his eyes.

Kon sits back down — Victor remains like a statue.

Then the council talk turns — the debate: the Realms of Glory, devoured by a nameless cosmic rot. Stones missing, dimensions fraying.

Zeus leans forward — eyes narrow:

> "Do you have proof, Kon? Why take my side?"

Kon tilts his head — taps the table once with a black fingernail.

> "Because your thunder, my lord Zeus, is wasted while the rot eats your kingdom from inside. The stone you clutch? Look closer — the erosion is from the Realms of Glory's corruption, not your enemies."

A smaller god snarls:

> "What proof—"

Kon's grin cuts him off — he gestures lazily to a black shard on the table.

> "This shard — from the mouth of your own devourer. Silence is your only argument? Then I win."

Thunder rumbles. Zeus stares at the shard — silent.

Nerose laughs quietly, leaning back.

> "My Highness… Kon speaks truths. Uncomfortable, but true."

Asherah watches Kon — eyes soft, a small smile.

> "Perhaps you should advise us more often, Kon. Perhaps… more than that."

Kon bows his head — his smile like a blade hidden under silk.

> "For you, my Highness, I shall stand ready."

Victor behind him nods once — Remji and Fuko stand, unmoving, eyes locked on the gods.

The Council murmurs — thunder rolls — but Kon sits perfectly still, smiling, as if he already owns the whole table

Scene — Kon at the Divine Feast (Full)

---

The meeting ends. The grand stone tables fill with gold plates, fruits, silver goblets. Gods and nobles murmur — the air cold but alive with power.

Servant girls move like shadows — placing food, pouring wine.

Ares steps in front of Kon — broad chest, rage burning behind his eyes — but Kon doesn't even glance at him. He just shifts slightly, eyes on Nerose.

Nerose:

> "Well, my lord."

Ares (low growl):

> "You—"

Kon lifts his glass, ignoring Ares completely — he speaks to Nerose as if the god of war is invisible.

Nerose (smirks):

> "I guess he doesn't like you."

Kon (soft smile, voice calm):

> "Yeah… guess so."

Nerose laughs once — they sit. Victor stands behind Kon's chair, hands behind his back, eyes down — loyal shadow.

Servant girls peek at Kon — one gasps, covers her mouth — whispers ripple:

> "So handsome… so cold…"

Nerose leans in:

> "Seems you're quite the sight for them, Lord Kon."

Kon shrugs, smiling faintly:

> "Let them see. Doesn't change what must be done."

Khione arrives — frost clinging to her silk robe — her hair like snowlight. She stands beside Kon's chair.

Khione:

> "Wsp, Kon. May I sit?"

Kon gestures to the empty place beside him.

> "Of course, Ice Queen. There's room."

She sits, lips curved — eyes sharp, but warm.

They speak — realms, parallels, other selves. Nerose listens — the table flickers with light and cold mist.

Then — a shy voice.

A young servant girl, small and trembling, steps forward — cheeks red.

Servant Girl #1:

> "Lord Kon… if you don't mind… could I sit with you? For a painting… with you?"

Victor steps forward fast — cold eyes, ready to hush her away.

Kon lifts his hand — Victor freezes. Kon turns — soft smile, eyes half-closed.

He reaches out — places his hand gently on her shoulder. She gasps — feels his warmth through his cold presence.

Kon (quiet, soft grin):

> "It's fine. Sit here."

She sits — shy, hands on her lap, heart racing.

Another servant girl appears — canvas and brush in trembling hands.

Servant Girl #2:

> "My lord… may I draw you both? Please…"

Kon glances at Victor — who bows his head, silent.

Kon nods once — no words.

He leans closer to the shy girl at his side — his voice a low whisper:

Kon:

> "Stay still. Let them see you beside me. It'll be beautiful."

The girl hides her smile — flustered, near tears — the brush strokes begin.

Nerose laughs under his breath — Khione watches, tapping her nail on her goblet — her eyes locked on Kon.

All the gods at the table glance over — silent envy, silent fear.

Kon just sits there — still as stone — but smiling like a monster who knows exactly how beautiful power tastes.
