Chapter 840 - The Twin Fire Gods Decision
-----
Within a world of volcanic lands and large pools of hot springs, two demon-like Gods rested, meditating.
These were Gravern, the Demi-God of Undying Burns, and Smirkes the God of Burning Battles.
They had once blessed Ymir, a prideful and evil Blazing Ashura who was born as a divine species, which they planned to nurture as a God.
However, Kireina came in and ate him without giving them not even the chance to stop her…
And afterward, something strange happened with his soul and that of his family, merging and then dividing themselves constantly until they became a single and strange soul which was then divided into three and reincarnated as Kireina's children, the three Chimera Scylla born from the eggs Mady laid.
They had known that all three of them were technically Ymir and at the same time they were not… so they simply decided to bless the one in the middle who had the affinity to fire, Marduk, who they hoped could be their intermediary for Kireina. As they desired to join her cause and pantheon of gods, which after defeating Thanatos had become larger with the addition of the Dark Steppes Gods.
Kireina's Divine Pantheon was still considered "trash-tier" by most of the highest Gods across many Realms in Vida, as she only had the weakest Gods among her that lacked energy and resources, and had been stuck in the same Ranks for thousands of years…
Yes, even after she defeated Thanatos they thought that of her.
Mostly because Thanatos was also considered an outcast, who thrived around weak Demon Gods, and was not considered strong because he kept his powers a secret, not being recognized as strong and thereby the Gods did not saw Kireina as much.
After all, if you defeat trash it is not like you are any better, you might as well be just slightly above trash but trash nonetheless!
These Gods were completely in the wrong though, as Kireina's capabilities fairly exceeded any God Realm Divine Entity and even came in comparison with Great Gods at this point, even if they were a whole Realm above her.
…And it was not as if those around her were any weaker.
Nonetheless, it was beneficial for Kireina to be underestimated and to hide her strength by making herself seem like trash, as she would be able to drag more delicious food and treats to her to grow stronger faster.
She has gone as far as manipulating the threads of fate so Gods could underestimate her, even more, a bit... Which simply intensified the intensity that Zeus kept planning her demise like a foolish old man.
These two Gods were discussing things regarding Kireina now, as they got to know that she got in here for a few days, and they were now considering contacting her and join her inside of her pantheon.
However, a problem had arisen when they learned that the largest group of Gods that lived in the Lower Realm were not too fond of her, especially the maddest and insane of the bunch who were incredibly aggressive and ruthless, which they had never interacted to.
There were several Gods similar to Geggoron in this world, gods whose Divinities made them completely mad and insane to the point of doing things out of pure pride disregarding their safety.
However, they would not go as far as trying to kill a supreme god or someone they knew was stronger than them…
But as Kireina did so, she made so the Gods would not look around so much for her feats and even to the point where they would not find them as impressive, which would provoke conflict… and these Gods desiring to fight her and kill her through eating her thanks to their new toy, Divinity Devouring.
Divinity Devouring was a big thing in Genesis, it changed a lot the perception of Kireina that many Gods had…
This is what Zubekh actually wanted, that the Gods did not see nor feared Kireina anymore, so they would act rasher and more aggressive against her, increasing the possibilities of getting her into a bad spot where she could be killed or greatly weakened by many Gods ganging on her.
Alongside this, they made Kireina not special anymore, so the Gods were able to easily think that the "difference" between them and her had become incredibly narrow, giving them the "chance" to strike her down and get a bunch of sins and commandments due to her divinity name.
Because she was raised to godhood, the announcement of her divinity spread all around, so many Gods knew she had all sins and commandments somehow.
Although some Gods had eaten a Dungeon Core already and got the Dungeon Shop, they never found the sins nor commandments there, as the System Gods had used various loopholes to limit the shops a lot to anyone except Kireina and those blessed by her.
In fact, they made it a requirement to be blessed by Kireina to unlock the rest of the shop, giving a giant middle finger to anyone except Kireina and those she cared for!
Due to this, the Gods wanted her more than anything!
Kireina was a literal treasure trove that could bring them great powers, and she was not as strong now that they had Divinity Devouring! …Right?
Well, they stupidly thought that because the Demon Gods were so mad and insane that they clearly lacked some common sense and could not see further than themselves.
Smirkes and Gravern were thankfully not the same, they had minds of their own and were not made mad by their divinities, mostly because they were not originally feral monsters without intelligence before raising to godhood.
Unlike most demon gods, Thanatos and his allies were a rare case, most Demon Gods were mindless monsters a little bit more intelligent than before that got powerful enough by chance and the law of the jungle (devouring the weak in the most primal of ways to grow stronger), and then some of them only gained intelligence after becoming Gods.
But even then, they remained feral, wrathful, and easy to provoke.
Even then, they went as far as making their own large group of Gods in a Pantheon around the Lower Realm…
But when Smirkes and Gravern heard about Kireina, they still believed that these Gods would remain in their territories as long as she did not mess with them.
But sadly, Kireina was a chaotic girl, and she messed with them indirectly by conquering their Dungeons and stealing their greatest resource of energy.
Even more, she also used her True Body Clones to guide the mortal villages of these Gods and brought them to her Divine Realm… leaving various Gods in shock due to her shamelessness to steal the properties of other Gods without even asking for negotiations or anything of the sort.
And because they all had long sensed her reaching the Lower Realm, all of their maddening eyes were targeting her!
These two Gods knew that soon enough, a war for the supremacy of the Lower Realm would emerge, a war against Kireina, which would probably end in a terrible, one-sided slaughter of all the Gods here…
How? Because they knew what Kireina was capable be of more or less at this point thanks to having blessed Marduk and seeing a bit of what he saw whenever he thought about the blessings he had, which indirectly served as something like a prayer.
Gods in Genesis were able to see part of what their believers saw whenever such mortals prayed for them.
And because, somehow, Marduk glancing at his status and thinking "huh, these gods sound familiar" counted as a prayer, these two were able to get some sneak peeks at the insanity that Kireina was hiding…
Now that the other Gods of the Lower Realm were about to target Kireina, Smirkes and Gravern wanted to meet Kireina, join her, and tell her about all these nasty Gods who wanted her head, so she could be better prepared for their onslaught.
"So… Aniki, how are you planning in joining her?"
"Hm… Now that she is here, it is ideal. Let us just be direct and go knock on her door. The best way to deal with Kireina is to be direct and serviceable…"
"Really, are these Gods so dumb? Kireina is insanely powerful… they are about to get a good beating… Well, she will most likely govern this entire area of the Realm soon enough…"
"Yeah… Well, let's jump in the ship before it is too late,"
"Alright then! Let's brace ourselves and march with bravery!"
"As we had always done!"
The two Fire Gods quickly made up their minds, filling themselves with the courage to journey towards Kireina's Divine Realm through their own, using them as movable spaces in between the spatial layers, and reaching the area where her Divine Realm was rather fast.
Most Gods in the Lower Realm already knew in which direction she was located due to the powers she exuded and the large spatial disturbance her divine realm caused when it was "deposited" in the spatial layers of that certain area of the lower realm.

[Day 300]
[Kireina] gained Divine Skill Points due to the prayers of your believers!] (Added!)
[Kireina] gained Divine Dungeon Points due to the combined energy gathered by your Dungeons!] (Added!)
[Divine Skill Points and Divine Dungeon Points have been converted into their corresponding Ranks!]
DAY 300!
Or is it?
Well, in the outside world not much time has gone by compared to my Divine Realm!
But now that I am just living here, I am counting the days inside of this place.
And I do not care what others may think about such a decision.
Anyways, yesterday I visited my wife's Divine Realms and also raised five more to godhood.
There were…
Mady, who became the Scylla Deity of Vicious Treachery and Mystical Eyes, acquiring the Authorities of [Emotions] and [Illusion]!
Adelle, who became the Mermaid Deity of Holy Spiritual Light, acquiring the Authorities of [Holy Light] and [Spiritual Light]!
Alice, who became the Vampire Deity of Crimson Thunderbolts, acquiring the Authorities of [Blood], and [Thunder]!
Lilith, who became the Dragonoid Deity of Earth and Tremors, acquiring the Authorities of [Earth] and [Strength]!
And last but not least, Charlotte, who became the Demoness Deity of Magic Technology and Alchemy, acquiring the Authorities of [Magic Technology], and [Alchemy]!
By far the rarest was Charlotte, who had gotten a new divinity never seen before, which only enhanced her capabilities with her new divine body which had the power to transform mechanical parts and more with even more swiftness, it could be said that she was also different than Andromeda, as she could even turn her mechanical parts back into living flesh, she was indeed amazingly interesting and unique.
By the way, Authorities are pretty amazing, they are literally what you have power over.
Remember those times when Hephaestus dragged lava and fire out of the divine formation he made? Those that possess Authorities can drag the attribute particles of the certain authority they have to strengthen themselves, while also increasing the power of that certain authority abilities tremendously.
And today I planned to raise five more!
I was currently visiting Charlotte's Divine Realm.
IT WAS STRANGE.
I have never thought that a Divine Realm related to magic technology and alchemy could exist, but here we are.
Her Divine Realm… looked normal at first sight.
You thought that it was just a dark forest with gray bark trees, large ash-gray mountains with neon-colored plants…
But nope!
They were all silicon-based plants, yes, as you heard me.
They were robot plants!
And they were all Divine Materials!
And they had circuits inside and all the stuff…
And they also absorbed magic from the environment to keep growing and even self-repair.
There were also a variety of divine beasts that were like wild mechs in the shape of animals…
It was the dream of any Transformers or Mech Anime fans!
…There was even a small tribe of intelligent robot people, and it was amazingly surreal.
The plants, everything, even to the little bugs that would sit on my shoulder sometimes… all of them were tiny mechanical beings.
There were even enormous swarms of nanobots that resembled mosquitoes.
It was… quite amazing.
And as I explored more with Charlotte at my side, I got some info from my True Body Clones.
It seems that they conquered some Dungeons...
After exploring around my wife's Divine Realms, I decided to help the other five more become Living Deities, while the ones that were already ascended began to cultivate their Divine Realms by purchasing new materials and eating large pieces of my soul too… oh and through Dual Cultivation as well! Those nights of intense mating are making us all stronger now…
