Chapter 963 - A Conversation Between Gods
-----
Within the Divine Realm of Kireina, above the skies within the Heaven Layer, the Gods gathered alongside the souls of all the Gods Kireina had eaten, which now amounted to dozens after dozens.
Led by her allied Gods, all these God Souls had formed the Divine Council of Gods, and they spoke about man things, mostly to just kill time as they were now mere souls without much to do.
However, a conversation between the wyvern Gods, Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength, and Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature underwent alongside Othairth, the Dragon Goddess of Poisonous Eyes.
They suddenly received the news about Brulzrayn, Qondress, and Nymbais getting killed by Kireina rather easily, but she had decided to not give them a second chance in here because she had grown to hate them for what they did to the mortals that were once the allies of David.
"Well, I didn't particularly expect them to get here either, Kireina did say that she held these mortals in some regard as they were the allies of the previous lives of her children, the harpy children who were born from the eggs laid by Nephiana, one of her wives," said Hodhyl.
"Indeed, in the end, I didn't expect them to get here, and even if they did, I would have given them a good beating for being such treacherous and traitor bastards… In the end, they acted against our mother, Tiamat, beliefs and helped the Gods of the central continent, even allying with Zeus from all things, who was abhorred my mother as he had once tried to rape her," sighed Merveim.
"Ugh, don't remind me of that bastard, I am happy that he is gone from existence… And I am deeply sorry for what the bastard had done…" sighed Zeus former wife, Hera, Goddess of Marriage and Nebulas.
"Ah, don't worry about it," said Hodhyl.
"Yeah, it's not like mother didn't give him a good beating back then," chuckled Merveim.
"Hm, our siblings have perished just like that? It is shocking to me to think that I was once working for them, I am glad that I opened my eyes and went away from their corrupted minds, I bet they didn't even care when I went away… you might call my brother Nyzzet a coward, but at the very least he's not a bastard like those three," sighed Othairth.
"I don't know if I should feel flattered or not over such a statement, but thanks nonetheless, nee-sama," said Nyzzet.
"Well you've grown stronger too, all that training helped at the end, right? And Kireina-sama even gave you back the skill that Thanatos stole from you using Greed, so you've recovered most of your power as well," said Othairth.
"Yeah, I guess this wimpy younger brother had finally become a man," said Merveim.
"Hm, you worked hard helping everyone," said Hodhyl.
"I don't know what to say… I don't think I deserve such praises… And it's not like we worked that hard… Well, the fight against Thanatos was rather hard, yeah…" said Nyzzet.
Although they talked about it as if it were the past, the battle against Thanatos happened just a few days ago in the outside world, perhaps no more than a single week… It was just that inside of Kireina's divine realm, time went by incredibly fast.
So for the Gods, this was as if it was a long time!
But they had also helped in even this fight, through the power of the God Descent Skill, they descended over the bodies of their blessed, such as Merveim and Hodhyl over Titus and Eshne, Othairth over Nanshe, Nyzzet over Goghesdum, and so on, so they still aided them in battle! Even more, as they had their army of living deities' children, which also used the same power, the more stacked over a soul, the stronger the believer would become.
Like this, even the Demigods were able to defeat the powerful peak-stage God Realm enemies they faced with utmost ease, even Mao was receiving such aid, so their victory was more than secured, in fact, the entire battle was a massacre, a complete massacre, a one-sided slaughter!
When Gods descend over the bodies of their believers, they also undergo the same pain and effort as their heroes, and this can be done even when their believers are gods.
"How are the mortals that those trio of idiots possessed?" asked Othairth.
"I think they are good. The three had merged with their souls, which were also raised to godhood, but when Kireina-sama ate them and crushed them completely, she easily separated the parts from these dragon gods and reconstructed their souls little by little, sticking each fragment where they needed to be, in a way, it was an incredibly meticulous work that only a Soul Attribute God could ever do right, but Kireina-sama is Kireina-sama, she's incredible in every regard, so this was easy work for her, only taking about half a minute," said Hodhyl, who was in love with Kireina for some time now and had begun to speak about her the same way Agatheina did…
"Although it seems that for now they are being healed slowly in the Hell Layer, where there is a spring that heals souls. The souls were reconstructed, but the cracks remained, so this bath will hopefully heal such cracks and remake them completely," said Merveim.
"They should be fine in a couple more days, after that, I believe Kireina-sama might give them the chance to either reincarnate or get new bodies, maybe?" wondered Maeralya, as she waved her multiple cat tails, she exuded the divine aura of a Rank 3 Goddess, long ago she used to be a Demigoddess, but now, she was a strong Goddess! Her beauty had increased quite a lot, and she was within the list of possible wives for Kireina, which was a list made by Gods that liked to gossip.
"Kireina-sama's benevolence knows no bounds, to think that she would extend her hand to these mortals that once were her enemies… She's truly too good for this world," sighed Gaia, the Titan Gods around her glanced at their mother with a bit of discomfort, seeing how she had just forgotten about Uranus, the husband she loved so much before and was now looking forward to having a relationship with Kireina soon, they couldn't help but feel a bit weirded out with her.
Perhaps being revived by Kireina made her realize that she needed to restart life once more! After all, she couldn't simply grief for her husband for all eternity, she had to look forward to her future ahead!
Of course, the revived titan Gods who were being used as tools by the Hephaestus family didn't know any of this, so they still felt a bit out of place.
But seeing their mother so radiant made them feel happy, whatever she wanted, they would be okay with it, in the end.
And after all, they also owed a lot to Kireina, who had just revived them and all, so they were not in the position to demand her to stop courting their sexy milf mother, as Gaia might even slap them in the face if they were to even try to do such a thing.
"Indeed, Kireina-sama is way too good for us, or the world! Whenever she eats the other Lower Realm Gods and they appear here, they will all realize that by being eaten, they are being given a second chance, how wonderful," said Hydros, as she had become a Goddess from the chimera half-goddess she was before into a full-fledged goddess now.
Her appearance was more beautiful and refined, most of her monster parts were now hidden within a "monster form" she could take on the battle, and she seemed like a radiant sea giantess with a single eye, a mysterious beauty that was once a man. After being given her wish granted of becoming a woman by Kireina, she had been in love with her ever since, and is also within the list of possible future wives!
The only two Lower Realm Gods in here began to speak, those were Smirkes and Gravern, who had miraculously saved themselves from being eaten by Kireina.
"Still… Isn't it… a bit too much? I-I mean… damn… All of the Lower Realm Gods are dead?" asked Smirkes.
"Indeed, that was quite the massacre, not even a bit of mercy… There were a lot of Gods that were being forced to fight by Zeus, Kireina-sama could have been a bit…" muttered Gravern.
"You mean benevolent? They will all come back here soon enough, so I don't know the issue, and in the end, they get to nourish Kireina-sama with their divine souls and powers, while they come here cleansed of all of that, helping a greater cause. To be honest, I believe it is a wonderful cause and nothing that should be looked down upon! If they were not intelligent enough to ally Kireina beforehand, then they kind of deserved to be eaten, not many can be like us and realize how wonderful and majestic she is," said Jorgrakog, who exuded the divine aura of a high-ranked god.
Jorgrakog was a genderless god made of pure sludge and miasma, however, she took the shape of a beautiful and sexy woman with wide hips and large breasts, while wearing the prehistoric bones she carries around with her body as clothes, resembling a tribal black-slime girl.
She was also within the list of possible wife candidates and was also eager to taste Kireina's rod, if possible, but for now, she had been working hard inside her Divine Realm, taking care of the divine materials to keep them healthy, feeding the important divine beasts, and other things, like many of the other Gods, while also being feed Kireina's divine soul fragments for nourishment and the enhancement of her soul and cultivation… although she desired to enhance her cultivation through dual cultivation if it could be possible.
"Indeed! Those that shall die will do so for a great cause, don't get like that, you two, it is all for the greater good of Kireina-sama's family. She never does the things she does without a reason, and you must understand this deeply to realize that her actions are always noble," said Morpheus, he also exuded the divine aura of a God, and had become even more beautiful and radiant than before, he even resembled a woman of how beautiful his upper half was, except that he was flat.
And at his side, a cute cat-girl, Mohini, the daughter of Maeralya, who was in love with Morpheus, admired his words.
"That's right! She never does anything without a reason, just like my husband said!" said Mohini. She had become a Rank 6 Demigoddess recently, having jumped from her Living Deity days long ago.
"Grandmother says that Kireina-sama is planning to become a Great Goddess soon, it would be certainly fantastic! I-I can't wait… especially because her beauty might become even more shocking after that!" said Levana cutely, expectant of Kireina's evolution.
"Oh my, I wonder if Rimuru-cha will also turn into a Great Goddess before me… Well, she has already surpassed me by becoming a Goddess while I am still a Demigoddess… Haha… They grow very fast, don't they?" said Blooia, with a motherly smile.
"Indeed, especially Kireina-sama's family, they are growing at an exponential, almost insane pace… I have never seen a group of gods grow so fast, from living deities all the way to gods in such a short amount of time!" said Maeralya.
"The Realm of Vida is about to fall over Kireina-sama's palm, and then… many more Realms, or the entire world of Genesis, even…" said Gaia.
"Yes, let's look forward to that…" said the Gods.
