532 Side Chapter: Kaggoth Joins the God Pantheon (2/2)

”I think it is the goddess of the Crab Arachne in the coastal regions,” said Maeralya.

”Oh! I remember that she met with one of our sisters, Seavaphe a few times, but their tribes were too far away from each other for the two to make a strong bond with each other” said Morpheus.

Seavaphe was the Beast Demigoddess of Sea Turtles, twin sister of Savaphe, the Beast Demigoddess of Land Turtles. Unlike her twin sister, Seavaphe's children, the Sea Turtle Beast-kin lived in an underwater tribe below the coastal regions, deep in the water, inside a dungeon she created.

She did not seem to have any troubles as of now and was too busy administrating the societies that her children were created to come and join the pantheon of Kireina.

”Wait… her name is Kaggoth? Isn't that a Demon Demigod?” asked Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength.

”Indeed… if you do not count me as one, it will be the first Demon God that joins our pantheon! Kireina-sama really does not discriminate against anyone” said Agatheina.

���That is right, Agatheina! Kireina-sama is a benevolent goddess!” said Bovdohr, the Demigod of Eclipses.

”I wonder how does she look? Is she really just a giant crab? Fufu” laughed Nomera, the Demigoddess of Dawns, with a bit of curiosity.

”Whatever she is, we must not be discriminatory. We are all gods of different heritages after all. It is clear as water that Kireina-sama does not care about race or species differences, and appreciates our efforts and strength equally” said Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature.

Indeed, with the addition of Kaggoth, Kireina's Pantheon will come to be the most varied diversity-wise in the entirety of the Realm of Vida. She had Wyvern Gods, who were siblings of Dragon Gods, Agatheina, the only Vampire Goddess in this realm and the progenitor of them all, Human Gods such as Bovdohr and Nomera, and various Beast Gods such as Morpheus, Marnet, Maeralya, and so on.

With Kaggoth as the first Demon Demigoddess, they would only need Titan Gods to 'have them all'.

Due to the discrimination between the many castes of gods, it was unusual for many gods of different races to join together. They would usually keep together with their own race, even if they were allies, such as the Dragon Pantheon which is an ally of the Central Continent Gods, who were all Humans, Elves, or Dwarves for the most part, with some unique cases such as Dryads…

Agatheina and the rest imagined the day when Kireina and most of her family would raise into godhood, many of them were not even humans but strange demi-human races that mostly never had raised into godhood, at least in the Realm of Vida.

They still did not know the classification that they would receive… but it would most likely be of Demon Gods with a few exceptions.

Suddenly, the gods felt the Divine Realm of Kaggoth slowly settling down in the space above the Grand Forest… annexing itself near their own Divine Realms. It was something similar to feeling someone moving with their whole house near you as your new neighbor.

Agatheina then opened a rift in the space of her Divine Realm as the shadow of their new ally appeared… it was a giant crab.

”A-Ah…! H-Hello…” said Kaggoth, she was over one hundred meters tall, bigger than Merveim and Hodhyl, the other gods were quite overwhelmed by her titanic appearance.

”Oh my… welcome, Kaggoth!” said Agatheina with a bitter smile. Kaggoth had already paid with her dungeon, divinity fragment and also had even given Kireina her claws to eat, so she was on good terms on Agatheina's book.

Kaggoth seemed fascinated by Kireina just as Agatheina, so she also saw that she was intelligent for thinking so… although she could be a new rival, she did not think that Kireina would choose Kaggoth over her. And she was also fine as long as she was the first goddess to have children with Kireina… of course, she thought that the eggs she laid using the blood of Marnet and Maeralya alongside their children was an exception and did not count.

”You're big! Can we fight?!” asked Merveim while flying around Kaggoth with his large black wings. He was a god of strength so of course, he was seeking someone that could give him a challenge.

”F-Fight? I-I am not really good at that… and my claws are gone, for now, so maybe another day? Ah, my name is Kaggoth by the way… who could you be?” asked Kaggoth.

”Ah! I am Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength, nice to meet you missy” said Merveim.

The other gods then introduced themselves to Kaggoth.

”You're a big girl, aren't you? I am Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature. It is nice to meet you. I hope that we can cooperate together in the future” said Hodhyl, glancing far above her.

”I… I am Nyzzet, the Dragon God of Thunder… err, nice to met you, Kaggoth…” said Nyzzet, seemingly terrified by Kaggoth's overwhelming presence and barely being able to muster many words… Although Nyzzet was far stronger than Kaggoth, he was a coward and bad at fighting, lacking any bravery, so he was intimidated by a Demigoddess.

”Nice to met you, lady Kaggoth. I am Morpheus, the Beast Demigod of Horses and Centaurs” said Morpheus with a gentle smile, admiring Kaggoth's giant size.

”Same! Nice to meet you, crab girl, I am Maeralya, the Beast Demigoddess of Felines and Cat Beastmen. You can call me 'Onee-sama' if you want!” said Maeralya without any hint of fear but only admiration for Kaggoth's great size.

”And I am Marnet, the Beast Demigod of Canine and Dog Beastmen… Do you have any way of decreasing your size?” asked Marnet.

”I am Bovdohr, the Demigod of Eclipses… it is good to meet someone that has recognized Kireina-sama greatness, you're welcome to our humble pantheon, Kaggoth,” said Bovdohr.

”Nice to meet you, Kaggoth! I am Nomera, the Demigoddess of Dawns! I think the same as Bovdohr, someone capable of recognizing Kireina-sama greatness and splendor is deserving of being our ally” said Nomera.

”Oh, and I am Agatheina, the Vampire Goddess of Blood, the progenitor of all Vampire races. It is our pleasure to receive yet another ally that our benevolent and goodhearted master has decided to make. Kaggoth, you're already part of our family” said Agatheina with a smile, already forgetting about Kaggoth's intimidating appearance, as she was only surprised by it.

Kaggoth bubbled, seemingly flustered.

”N-Nice to meet you everyone, and thanks for the warm welcome… I am not so good at socializing… so forgive my way of t-talking… A-And I think I will decline that offer, Maeralya-sama, I think it is disrespectful to call you like that… And yes, I can decrease my size if Marnet-sama wants…” said Kaggoth as she began to slowly shrink into a size only a few meters bigger than Merveim and Hodhyl.

”This is the littlest I can become… hopefully it is enough,” she said.

”It is enough…” Muttered Marnet with a bitter smile.

”(She is still too big though… What kind of god did had children with someone like her? And according to the records I found it was a mysterious Human Demigod from the central continent! It seems that she does not even have a humanoid form like some gods either…! What kind of man… was he?)” thought Marnet as cold sweat dripped from his neck, imagining a man doing love to such a giant crab was… unholy. But it seemed to work, ending in the birth of the Cancer, Crab-type Arachne with lower halves of a crab and the upper half of a human.

Agatheina clapped her hands as she invited everyone to a feast to celebrate their new member.

Meanwhile, Levana was trying to make good friends with her two big sisters…
