594 Gods Calamity (1/2)
Yale and Alrein could guess what happened after just hearing Kroh's words. That was a real tragedy.
”Although I was the first to advance, we all advanced without too much difference between each other, so when we, the three first one to advance, went outside the universes for a battle, the number of True Gods was already quite high.”
All the original Gods were more or less balanced in innate talent, so it wasn't strange that they all managed to become True Gods at a similar time.
”The reason I went to battle with the Life Goddess and the Death God wasn't just because we were the three first, but because the Life Goddess and I were the only ones capable of surviving in front of the Death God, who was famous for nor knowing how to restrain himself properly.”
Kroh was never hit in a battle, and the Life Goddess could heal herself no matter how serious the injuries were as long as she wasn't dead. Even if she died, they all knew that Kroh could use Time Rewind.
They were also the three that used their Divinities the most, which was the reason they were also the first ones in advance. Kroh couldn't count how many times used Time Rewind to help others, and the Life Goddess technically created all the life in the multiverse. As for the Death God, no one knew how many times he killed others by mistake.
”Although our personalities differed quite a bit, we were great friends. Among everyone in the group, calling them my best friends isn't wrong. They always argued a lot with each other due to their different points of view, but in the end, I know that they also thought like me.”
Kroh was right in that the Life Goddess and the Death God considered themselves to be best friends despite their conflicts, but what Kroh didn't know was that they always lied about the true reasons for the conflicts after they created the universes.
The truth was that after the universes were created, some Gods became interested in love, and they even discovered the existence of the Lust Goddess outside the universes.
Although the Gods lacked gender and under normal conditions, they didn't have any carnal desires, they were still interested in experiencing some pure love.
The problem was that not all Gods were interested, and Kroh was one of them.
The Life Goddess and the Death God were both in love with Kroh, and they argued about if Kroh was male or female despite the truth that no naturally born God had gender. Others at least looked like one of the two created for mortals, but there was a small number, Kroh included, that remained in a gray area impossible to ascertain.
Once they asked Kroh for curiosity, but as they expected, the answer was that Kroh didn't mind about such things for mortals and that they weren't related to them at all, so thinking about it was a waste of time.
”When we started our battle, it was a great surprise that after the breakthrough, the Death God was better restraining himself. We all saw that our powers and our control of them had increased a lot, but at that time, we were just testing, so there hadn't been any attack that could kill a body.”
Kroh sighed while remembering what happened after that.
”After that, the Death God said that he would use a new attack that could just destroy the body without harming the soul at all, which was quite strange for someone famous for harming the souls of others even if he didn't want. At the start, I did nothing to prevent him from attacking the Life Goddess. He knew that he wouldn't be able to hit me, so he always targeted her. However, at that moment, I had a bad premonition, and I shouted, asking him to stop, but since he didn't listen, I attacked him...”
Kroh didn't use any lethal force, just enough to destroy the Death God's body and make him stop being so rash even when others told him to stop.
”At the same time that the Death God destroyed the Life Goddess Body, I destroyed the Death God's body. If that time, I just froze the time and stopped the battle, nothing would have happened, but I was upset about the Death God not listening to me, and I decided to attack. It wasn't as if I thought that the consequences would be so serious.”
Kroh regretted that instant more than anything else. If Kroh had been cautious, those two Gods wouldn't have died, but Kroh had been too confident in resurrecting anyone.
Kroh just asked to stop because of the bad premonition, but Kroh had bad premonitions before, and they were still undoable by altering the time later.
