Chapter 19: The Meeting of the Gods
(Thank you for the monthly pass support of Purple Fantasy Smoke Cloud and Remnant Rain New Tea!)
In the Void Star Realm, the divine light of the Pantheon once again lit up this bleak and dark world.
Unlike the last meeting to find Edwin, the Lord of the Stars, this one was noticeably more deities. As far as the eye could see, half of the seats in the Pantheon were full.
Don't think that this is not a lot, you must know that there are also clashes between gods and factions, and this conflict is more pure and difficult to reverse than the hatred and strife between intelligent beings. Because of this, for countless years, no more than a third of the gods in the pantheon have attended.
Before today, the peak number of attendees in the past was thousands of years ago when they fought against the Three Emperors of the Magic Empire.
And it was precisely because of the fiasco of the battle between the mages and the gods that the high gods realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the current state of affairs seems to have an absolute advantage, if one is not handled well, maybe countless gods will fall off the altar and fall completely.
The most central seats in the pantheon belong to powerful gods such as Yvette, the elven goddess, Dagmar, the god of justice, Gain, the god of war, Ra, Ra, the god of death, and Lamar, the god of destruction and killing. Although not all of the powerful gods attended, it was extremely rare for these conflicting gods to gather here.
On weekdays, these powerful gods have dirty conflicts with each other, and there are even many divine wars in the rest of the universe. Considering that if one of them presided over the meeting, the opposing party would be dissatisfied, so the task of presiding over the meeting fell to Ordas, who was known for his knowledge and intelligence.
"It doesn't look like anyone is coming. Ordas's clear voice resounded through the Pantheon, "Your Majesty, I am Ordas, the presiding officer of this Pantheon meeting, and I will inform you about Edwin, the Lord of the Stars, and Sylvia, the Lord of Illusions. ”
"Tell what?" said Yog, the god of death, an extremely low-key and powerful deity under a black cloak that would never be lifted, "you have the audacity to kill Edwin and imprison Sylvia, and this is already happening, what else is there to report?"
His words caused some of the gods to whisper, not only to the gods who were friendly with him, but also to the rival sun god Ra, whose originally cheerful face was gloomy. Ra is a young man in a white robe, and he always has a gentle smile on weekdays, but at this moment, he vividly reflects the majesty and domineering of the sun god.
"I'm sorry, Youge Crown, Crown, because the two of you did not attend the meeting at that time, so that series of actions was a collective decision made by the participants out of practical considerations. Ordaz explained unhurriedly.
It is said to be a collective decision, but this collective is not representative of all the gods. Ra retorted, "And your rash actions have affected all the gods, leaving us to face the cruel war that is coming. ”
Ra and Yug are ancient gods that survived from the previous generation, and the two of them, who were originally mortal enemies, have rarely advanced and retreated together in this matter.
"I would like to remind you that it was Edwin who violated the Stee Instruments in the first place. ”
La retorted, "But Sylvia didn't break it. ”
But she has been hiding the fact that she is the king of the roots, and we have to judge that she is plotting an ulterior secret. And your majesty should also feel it, the ripples of time and space have been floating over the years, and I have reason to suspect that all this is inseparable from Lu Sien. Sylvia must be one of those in the know, and if she doesn't take action first, she may repeat the same things in the future. ”
"Snort-" a grim sneer came from under the black cloak, and Yug said, "The little ones still dare to mention the old days. Ordas, if you've ever lived through the past, you'll know what it all means. ”
"What, Yog, are you scared?" asked Lamar, with a maniacal grin.
"If you knew how the last god of destruction and killing fell, you'd probably be able to restrain your smile a little. "The sun god Ra fights back in place of the god of death, Yog.
"Your Majesty. At this time, Yvette, the main god of the elves, spoke, "Now that it has happened, I don't think we should dwell on our past actions. The key is what do we do next? I believe that since you have chosen to participate in the meeting, you have realized the seriousness of the problem, and we must look forward together. ”
"While Yvette has a point, I'm suspicious of you. Aldred, the Prince of Lies, scoffed, "Can you really kill your relatives in righteousness, if the goal is to eliminate all the mages who try to steal the roots, then your son must be among them." And under the crown of Dagmar, everyone has more or less heard that you are in love with Sylvia. ”
"Your Majesty Aldred, if you can use your talents to divide your enemies instead of your own, then I think I'll change my impression of you a little bit!" Yvette countered disdainfully, and Dagmar gave Aldred a cold look.
As soon as the meeting began, there seemed to be a tendency to sink into never-ending bickering. Even a wise man like Ordas felt a headache, and for a moment he understood the pain of his predecessors.
In this way, it seems that it is simply impossible to get all the gods to abandon their prejudices and factions to the outside world. It was enough for him to now only hope that more than half of the gods present would be able to form a close-knit alliance.
"Your Majesty. Finally, it was Dagmar, the god of justice, who interrupted the endless quarrel, "Leaving aside the presiding officer to quarrel with each other will not show the majesty of our gods, why don't you listen to Ordas's proposal first?"
The quarrelsome gods stopped talking for a moment and turned their gaze to Ordath, the god of knowledge.
Ordas cast a grateful glance at Dagmar and continued, "I believe that all of you know about the past, so I will not repeat it. Let me talk about the current situation and my guesses. First of all, Icewind Castle, led by Charlotte Clayderman, has formed an alliance with the Forest of Illusions and the Constellation of Souls, and they have recruited allies in the major material realms, seemingly intending to raid Erru to rescue Sylvia. ”
"Hmph! Sneak attack on Erru is just wishful thinking!" Lamar snorted disdainfully.
Ordath nodded, "I think so too." Also, Immanuel in Mystic City doesn't seem to be moving, but I think he's definitely going to be involved. In addition to this, I suspect that this alliance will seek the help of the old gods, and even contact Gerald, the Lord of the Black, in order to increase their power. ”
Ordas guessed almost all the plans.
"And what about Zoe?" Aldred deliberately said, "I don't mean to be vexatious, but I want to remind you that he is also one of the mortal enemies we must face." ”
"Zoe is watched by me. Yvette proposed.
Aldred just sneered at this.
"Leave it to me. Dagmar interrupted Aldred's smile, "You can always rest assured." ”
"That's for the best!" Aldred said with a gentlemanly salute, motioning for Ordas to continue.
"In addition, I suggest that someone else should be arranged to monitor the movements of the Abyss and the Secret Law City, so that they do not take advantage of the situation by sneaking in. ”
"It's up to me to watch the abyss. Although dissatisfied with the initial independent action, Yuge, the god of death, who knew that there was no way back, took the initiative to ask for help.
Another blue-skinned girl with scales on her body proposed, "I'll keep an eye on the Secret City in the deep sea." ”
She is a girl of the deep, the goddess of the sea.
The gods were no different, and Ordas breathed a sigh of relief and made a final proposal, "So I suggest that your Majesty form an alliance to deal with this crisis together." Set up an ambush in Erru, and take advantage of their weakest moments to wipe out the powerful enemy that has plagued us for thousands of years. ”
"War?!I like this!" The golden-haired warrior in armor smiled, and the god of war, Gain, smiled warmly.
The sun god Ra, who was originally quite dissatisfied, also snorted coldly, "That's all it can be." ”
Aldas was delighted with what was next, and with the addition of powerful gods in attendance, two-thirds of the attendees joined the alliance. As for the rest, they chose the wise way of self-preservation with independent judgment and action.
In this way, the alliance of gods was formed on this day. ()
