394 Side Chapter; Athenas Schemes (2/2)
However, that Kireina could damage God's was something dangerous, but as long as they didn't interfere directly with her, they would be fine… just as the Demon Gods, these Gods decided that their best course of actions was… to do nothing.
However, those Gods that still held great grudges against Kireina couldn't be calmed down with words of wisdom, they wanted to take justice by their hands. Some like Zeus and Athena were so enraged that they would even disobey a Supreme God orders if they were given the chance to kill Kireina on the spot.
Though Athena and Apollo lacked much combat experience as they were raised by Gods and never had hardships neither trained their powers or skills to their fullest potential.
Just because they are Gods doesn't mean that they can fight better than Kireina. If they were to try to kill Kireina by descending to the surface, Kireina would most likely have some hardships but would come out as victorious and end up strengthening herself by devouring them.
Of course, even the Goddess of Wisdom saw this as a possibility with her 'Calculation'. She couldn't be reckless like her brother. She had to plan and to train if she ever wanted to make justice with her hands…
The Goddess of Wisdom was sharp, cunning, and intelligent, but she feared fighting. And ultimately decided to nurture her new champions as well, blessing the Supreme Gods wouldn't do it for her.
Due to this, she and other Gods who thought like her gathered together later that day in her Divine Realm, peeking over the Azuma Empire…
But they were surprised after seeing that Kireina had already put her claws over them and was silently spreading her influence and grotesque Slime Clones.
The Gods grimaced.
”Even the Azuma Empire…?!”
”No… look closely… the Empress and the Heroes are working hard to defeat her influence, silently, without her noticing…”
”They have not been brainwashed by her yet and are resisting…”
”We should give them a hand then if we could strengthen the Heroes and Champions in this place… maybe…”
”Athena-sama, is your calculation giving you any insights?”
”Yes, there should be a possibility, and I will grasp into it no matter what. Those who want to make justice by yourselves, follow my orders, and those who fear the lazy Supreme Gods, who think that our champions are mere ants, you can leave, I won't hold any grudges against any of you, whatever your decision is” said Athena, her golden eyes glowing in a determined light.
”It is just as my daughter said…”
Zeus was present as well; he was one of the Gods that wanted the demise of Kireina more than anything and decided to support her daughter's decision without a hint of doubt.
Zeus still desired Alice… even after she became a Vampire.
He would purify her body and resurrect her as a Living Deity. He wanted to eradicate Kireina and her entire Empire of misfits and disgusting demi-human and demons.
According to Zeus and most of the Gods, Humans should be the only ones who should thrive in the world.
Athena was not as wicked as her father but also desired the demise of Kireina, and perhaps retrieve Ismena, convert her back into a Human, and raise her as a Subordinate Living Deity of Wisdom.
The other gods didn't have thoughts as far from them either… If their believers were to see their true intentions, most of them would lose their faith and stop worshipping them. Such wicked minds shouldn't be considered 'good' at all.
What they didn't know was that Jupiter, Europa, and the Supreme God of Star Ocean already knew their movements and their intentions but decided to witness everything in silence.
”Even Gods are filled with foolishness, to have such thoughts…” muttered Europa.
”My daughter, Gods are more complex than you think, especially if they were raised in luxury and pleasures, filled with everything feed to them in a golden spoon,” said Jupiter, one of the Gods that raised from a mortal, he had undergone several hardships and grew as a man with firm values.
”Let them do as they please… and whenever their demise comes, let it be a warning to the other Gods, who dared to disobey my words and orders,” said the voice of a young man, its voice was filled with wisdom and knowledge, they resonated inside of Jupiter and Europa… this was the Supreme God of the Star's Ocean.
”After all, it may be beneficial for master's if some Gods are taken away… and that Kireina, she is indeed useful as well,” said Europa.
”Indeed… Her existence is special, a tool for us” said Jupiter.
”I'm beginning to understand the System Master's plan… Kireina is ideal to eradicate our true enemy after all.”
”Master, what about Isaac?” asked Jupiter.
”My Champion, Isaac… He's nothing more than another tool as well, but I'll let him be blessed by these fools…” muttered the Supreme God.
”Eternal life is rather boring. I hope he can give me some amusement. I wonder if Kireina can defeat anything that is thrown towards her. Can she prove me her worth?” said the Supreme God of the Star's Ocean, as he glanced at the Realm of Vida, his eyes were those of millions of dazzling stars, his body like an endless nebula.
”Your Champion will be certainly strong by the time Kireina fights him, Master,” said Jupiter.
”Could it be that Master is just completely uninterested if both sides win or destroy each other?” asked Europa.
”I do care, a little. Whoever wins shall inherit the other powers and become my tool… if both end up dying, they were never worthy of my attention. I will have to wait a few more thousands of years then.”
”As always, Master is aloof,” said Jupiter.
”Well, this is just what is happening in the Realm of Vida, the System Master is not a fool to leave and bet everything into one single individual, countless other mortals are raising from within the Realms… those with the souls of different worlds. Things are finally getting exciting. Don't you think? Hmm, in what should I bet on?” said the Supreme God.
The Supreme God of Star's Ocean had other plans, that not even other Supreme Gods were knowledgeable of.
Breaking Destiny… and the existence that can hold even the Supreme Gods back… how could Kireina accomplish such things?
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm of Zeus, Apollo slowly opened his eyes… however, the aquamarine colors had become slightly darker, a change almost unnoticeable.
Even the god himself did not know that something else had merged with his very soul…
