Chapter 1015: Gathering of Overgods (1/2)
It was plain to him that she didn't like him. She had definitely intended to humiliate him by imprisoning him with her power the moment she arrived. Though, he knew it wasn't the time to lash out. He made a mental note of how she treated him here today so that his main body may one day pay her back for it once it was done metamorphing.
It was obvious to Han Shuo that Nestor, Amon, Cratos, and the others did not show up by mere coincidence. He soon noticed that the God of Space, Fernando, was constantly giving off spatial energy to create multiple rainbow-colored paths into this space. The Overgods had come at Fernando's invitation.
One spatial tear appeared after another, during which the Goddess of Destiny, Althea, God of Light, Azdins, Goddess of Life, Lyna, Goddess of Wind, Balyr, God of Lightning, Ranzlorde, and God of Earth, Bergson, appeared in this unique space. Currently, all twelve Quintessence Overgods had assembled.
When Azdins arrived, he saw Han Shuo and nodded with a smile. ”Very well. You are standing with the other side after all.”
Han Shuo knew what he was referring to. Back then, the God of Light had warned him to not touch Gyál or he would consider him an enemy. Yet, he killed Gyál off anyway at the Hexopolis. If not for the stigma, even his soul wouldn't be spared.
”Azdins, even if Han Shuo hadn't killed him, he would've died all the same,” Fernando said with a furrowed brow. ”Gyál had imprisoned McKinley for so many years, so this ending is fitting for him.”
”Haha, Fernando, are you suggesting you would have killed him yourself? Naturally, you'd have no problem killing him with your power, but isn't it going a little overboard?”
”Who said I would kill him myself? Karey has traveled far and wide and has long become a demi-overgod. Even if Han Shuo hadn't killed Gyál, Karey would've eventually dealt with him. Your servants aren't the only ones capable of becoming demi-overgods!”
Karey was the city lord of Phantasia. It was said that he had become a peak-stage highgod quite a number of years ago and embarked on a long journey, only to return to Phantasia five years ago as a demi-overgod.
”I sure am looking forward to it,” Fernando said, smirking. He then turned to Althea, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
”Our time is running out; Fernando already said much,” she said as she turned to look at everyone, making sure she had their attention. ”We only have around two hundred years, but my Mirror of Destiny still doesn't have enough soul power. I'm sure that you have been feeling the pull from Aethernia for quite some time now. Without enough souls to nourish the mirror, our Quintessence would return to Aethernia before she even awakens.”
