"Besides, I don't think all is lost. If there is no way to redeem me, a God disrespecting divine being such as yourself would not waste so much of his breath on me, a mere mortal," Charlie finished with a faint smile.
Israfil felt his spine tingle as he saw the smile on Charlie, it was a smile that he is very much dreaded. Though it is not evoking the same level of menace, just the fact that an oblivious mortal could smile such a smile made his back covered in a cold sweat because such a smile is something that he has only seen on the Supreme ruler of Sin, Asmodeus
"Hah! Big words little mortal, but I don't feel like crushing your confidence, today. After all, an overconfident fool will least do something, compared to a prudent one. But you are not wrong, there is a way to preserve your will. Lord Asmodeus can…"
"What's the cost?" interrupted Charlie.
"Hmmm, don't you want to hear about the process and the benefits?" replied Israfil as he gave Charlie an interested smile.
The inquisitive smile of Israfil sent a spine-tingling feeling for Charlie even if he is in just a phantom form. However, Charlie pushed back his anxiousness and continued…
"The process doesn't matter, I have no other choice. An almighty God is against me, I don't possess the strength nor the options to propose a negotiation. The benefits are just icing on the cake. Even if your remedy is a slow poison, at this moment, it is the only medicine I have access to. So save me the patronizing speech and tell me the real facts and cost of your help."
"Hahahahaha, in all my years of schemes, rise, and the downfall of the competition between the gods, I have never met a lifeform as self-aware as you. You are a dangerous mortal. Strength is not gathered in a day, it takes time, patience, and consistent hard-work. But even those who are patient and consistent in bettering themselves lack the qualification to be the strongest. The title of 'Strongest' is not given to those who are naturally gifted or talented, but for those who continuously improve. Talent though it may be a great boost initially, even the most talented existence has its limits."
"Why are you telling me all this…"
"Easy now mortal, let me finish. Divine beings are often interested in taking on disciples and successors of great talent. It is a matter of pride between those apex beings who has nothing much to do. However, the whole God Realm was baffled when a Grand Sage chose an ordinary mortal from a lesser realm as his successor. The mortal was neither gifted nor have any natural blessing from the Immortal Runes, his life and his past are as ordinary as it can be. When the acquaintances of the Grand Sage passed snide comments on his choice. The Grand Sage simply replied that his disciple has a rare trait that is non-present in the heaven-blessed, which is self-awareness. Though the other divine beings laughed at the explanation of the Grand Sage, they were proven wrong in just a century as the mortal of the lesser realm became the leading figure in the generation of disciples, constantly beating monstrous talents."
"Thanks for your words of wisdom. Comparing to apex talent is a thought that is too far from me. Again, what is the cost for your help?"
"Hehehe, it's good that your pride didn't swell up as I told you about a mortal besting other divine leaders of his generation. You passed my test. Don't think hard, what I said about the Grand Sage and his disciple is true. But what I wanted to see is your reaction to the grand tale. I admire that you are still rooted in the present moment rather than letting your mind wander in a fantasy. Your control over your emotions has saved you this time."
"Immortal Runes operate our reality. For example, Gravity is an Immortal Rune, the purpose of its existence is to instill the rule of lager mass attracting smaller entities. Runes are impartial and with no-emotions. However, with immense understanding and pledging eternal vow and staying true to the purpose of the Immortal Rune, it might grant the Rune Devotee a portion of control over their domain. The common sense and empathy of the Rune Devotee allow the Immortal Rune to instill counter-balance to its emotionless existence. Many of Gods are divine beings who had gained a portion of control over the Immortal Rune. Though the divine beings who are Gods were individually strong beyond measure, it is the Immortal Runes that give them eternal might and otherworldly existence."
"You mentioned 'many of Gods'. Are there beings of Godly might without pledging to Immortal Runes?"
"Hehe, smart as always. Yes, there are such unfathomable beings, but the knowledge of all that is far beyond your power level. At this moment, even a God's champion is someone you have to look up to and they are the basic pawns who barely got the graces of a divine entity. What I'm going to give you is a 'Totem Rune' of Sex, as my lord gained recognition of the emotional concept of 'Lust' he had gained dominion of various partially dependent Runes."
"Runes are of two kind majorly Immortal Runes and Divine Runes. Immortal Runes are those whose concept is eternal and encompass over half the living beings or 2/3rd of the sentient beings. Emotions empower the world. Therefore, concepts that envelope the 75% or more of the sentient beings gain the spiritual energy to condense into an Immortal Rune. However, emotional concepts are susceptible to time and societal common sense of the mortals. Hence, newer concepts that have the potential to become an Immortal Rune starts as a Divine Rune."
"Hmm, the rune of 'Sex' is yet to gain the approval necessary to become an Immortal Rune. Totem implies a depiction of a statue or a carving of God or a higher being, which in turn means a replica. So you are giving me a replica of the 'Divine Rune of Sex'?"
Israfil was shocked to see Charlie grasped the core of the contents despite Israfil not deliberately explaining it to him.
'This mortal will fit right into the cunning populace of the God Realm. Ha-ha, maybe he will cause some ripples keeping the hypocritical gods busy', thought the dark forces mole.
