Valkarrie jumped over Philip and kicked down the giant double doors. The doors detached from the hinges and shattered into splinters, then the splinters exploded into dust and scattered on the floor. The floor formed holes and craters that was created by dust, infused with her destructive energy
She landed on the ground and pointed at the Council. The Council was startled and paused the process of naming Chibi Sai
"What is the meaning of this, Valkarrie?!!"
Chronos shouted and both Fyusi and Apoy became incredibly nervous and scared
"There was a reason I became a vassal to the Seraphims to investigate the Council... I thought there was nothing to investigate, but you've been doing this right under my nose!!! Not to mention, you're doing this to my sister?!?!! The Council seemed to be pushing their luck, huh?!"
"Valkarrie, I tried to stop them!"
"Quiet Fyusi!"
Fyusi tried to reason with Valkarrie but she was shut by her
"You and Apoy! You're both grounded! Go to the side!"
Apoy immediately turned into fire and swerved to the wall. He turned back into a humanoid form and sat on the ground with his knees tucked into him and arms wrapped around his legs. Fyusi also ran next to Apoy and stood still while filled with terror. Her sacred antlers were pulsating with light
Valkarrie observed the both of them and she made of the note that Philip gave her
"Now that I've caught all of you red handed, I have the permission to overthrow the Council... You all f*cked up! Not only you're all messing with my sister, you're all messing with a sacred World Deity... A criminally divine offense... The sentence will be extinguishment of Divine Soul! What are your last words, f*ckers?!"
"You have no power over us. You have interfered with the Sacred Baptism of Divine Existence and therefore, your Divine Soul must be extinguished!"
Chronos declared with power. On the other hand, Valkarrie raised her eyebrow in confusion. It was the same for Fyusi as she began having doubts
'What is this? There's none of the Divine Law that states that? Are they self-proclaming it? Is what that mortal saying that they're fake really true?!'
Valkarrie increased her power as her anger rises
"Council, tell me... What would happen if the Mother God learns about this, as well as the Seraphims, the Grand King, and the Divine Conqueror?!"
"We don't care about them! As long as we extinguish your soul and seal your body, no one will be able to spread the word!"
Leafa dared to defy Valkarrie
It was then that Valkarrie's face distorted in anger. She was about to rampage and destroy the Council when Philip walked up and called out to her
"Valkarrie! Can you leave the God of Death to me?"
"Do whatever you want!"
Just then, all the four gods and goddesses appeared in front of them with their weapons and energy aimed at then
Everything was slow for Valkarrie and she could read the movements of everyone around her. She could easily push the four gods back but she wanted to leave Shin for Philip. She became worried at Philip, so she slowly turned her head only to widen her eyes
Philip's body faded in and out of existence as he moved, almost like he was faster then her. He slowly lifted his arm and opened his hand as he aimed it at Shin
Shin's scythe was about to strike Valkarrie, only for Philip to get a hold of it and completely stop it
'Looks like I have nothing to worry about'
She then quickly bent her body and proceeded to twist her body and swing her right leg around to the right, blasting destructive energy towards the three gods
The three gods were pushed to the wall and giant craters. They fell back on the ground and fell on their knees
'The mortal's right... They don't have their Divine Authorities!'
Valkarrie jumped forward and approached them
~~~
Meanwhile, Philip held the blade of the scythe and the swing stopped completely
"Who are you?!"
Shin was baffled and shouted at Philip. He didn't realize that he is talking to the God of Darkness
Shin let go of the scythe and approached Philip face to face. He grabbed Philip on the throat and lifted him up. Philip also let go of the scythe
"Did you lead Valkarrie here?!"
Shin tightly grasped Philip's neck and began strangling him. White roots formed around his neck and jaw as light seeped from the gaps of Shin's hand
Just then, Philip instantly gripped Shin's arm and slowly pulled it from his neck. Shin's grasp was loosened because Philip was almost crushing his arm. Philip remained in the air and his anger rose
"Are you the God of Death?"
Even if Philip was extremely angry, he was able to ask a question in an extremely calm manner. But this manner of questioning gave Shin fear
"Y-yes, I am!!"
"Do you take lives?"
"Y-yes!"
"Are you really the God of Death?!"
"YES!!!"
"Alright..."
Philip let go of Shin's arm and he landed back on the ground. He still has his head lowered without his eyes showing. His abilities are already deactivated, except for blood, darkness, ⟨⟨ Eye of Sai ⟩⟩, and ⟨⟨ Disastrous Hero ⟩⟩. Shin is confused and startled
"Pick up your scythe and kill me then. Take my life"
~~~
Meanwhile, Valkarrie was almost done with her work without a minute passing. She already stomped Spatio on the ground and made a hole on his chest ane cutting the head of Leafa
Currently, Valkarrie was holding Chronos' head in the air and crushing it with her Dragonite Gauntlet
"Fake divine beings!! Where did you come from?!!"
Fyusi was covering her eyes in terror and Apoy burried his head deeper into his knees
It was then that Valkarrie noticed light shifting through the air. She immediately waved her left hand and caught it. She pulled it away and then the bodies of Spatio and Leafa was pulled
"Strings? So these are puppets!!"
Valkarrie proceeded to throw Chronos on the wall, next to Spatio and Leafa. His body slumped down like a puppet and his eyes rotated
She then raised her right arm and a chaotic maroon energy ball formed on top of her hand
"Puppets that are controlled by someone bigger... The investigation doesn't end here"
Valkarrie was about to throw the Destruction Orb at the pile of bodies when Chronos head suddenly twitched and glitched and face Valkarrie
"Goddess of Destruction... Scanned... The Divine Realm shall fall! The universe will suffer! The end will come! Everything will assimilate!"
Valkarrie looked down at Chronos and looked at him with a disgusted face. She then dropped the Destruction Orb on them and a massive energy sphere exploded, engulfing everything in a ten meter radius, destroying every atom, energy, and light, including space and time. What's left was a mark or a crater. Of course, Valkarrie was unaffected
"Hm... That was anticlimactic... They were supposed to be the Council and I should've had a hard time dealing with them. Turns out, they're just puppets... I wonder how's the mortal doing?"
Valkarrie turned around and her eyes widened from fear once more
~~~
A few seconds ago, Shin picked up his scythe and immediately swung it down at Philip, trying to take his life away
The tip of scythe arrived at the center of his chest and pierced it
"Unfortunate..."
The scythe did not actually pierce Philip's chest. Blood shield formed in front of his chest and blood splattered outwards. The blood did not fall down on the floor but instead, it stayed in suspended animation in the air
"Death should be able to unconditionally take anyone's life. He can sever their string of fate and send them either to their next life or into nothingness... Death is supposed to be the pinnacle of power, unmatched, irreversible... Yet, you are not able to do it to me. Even if I'm a god or a mortal, any beings that has a hold of death or the apprentice of Death should be able to bring death upon me..."
*Sheer*
The Council Room suddenly generated a sheering and tearing sound that blasted everyone's ears
「 God Submission. 5th Gate of Wrath: Wrath opened. Twin Blades Concept. Null of Magnificence. Body of Godliness. Perfect Recoiless Technique. Disastrous Hero. Pureblood. Darkness Authority. Regenerative Ivory. Pain Conversion. Origin Seeker. Sacrificial Fate Control 」
Shin crumpled from horror, Fyusi covered her eyes from terror, Apoy's flames subsided fromdread , and Valkarrie was stunned from fear
"All who impersonates Death, fake Deaths, self-proclaimed Death, false Deaths, and apprentices of Death shall cease from existence"
*CRACK*
~~~
A few minutes has passed and Valkarrie walked towards Philip
"Mortal, what is your name?"
"Philip..."
Valkarrie looked down in front of Philip where Shin body was supposed to be located, but there was absolutely nothing left
"I have found the puppeteer, who's been controlling these puppets. I also have discovered how he managed to slip past here and managed to create the Council without anyone from the higher ups noticing. I'll tell you everything if you want to take care of it"
「 You have obtained the ability, ⟨⟨ Puppet Control ⟩⟩ and ⟨⟨ Puppet Maker ⟩⟩ 」
"I'll take care of it. I'm untouchable anyways"
"The perpetrators are the God of Mischief, God of Dominance, and the God of Void with the help of the God of Puppets. I couldn't learn their motives, but there is someone within the higher ranks that were helping then also. I didn't have the chance to learn their identity. That's about it"
"Interesting... I'll take note of it. I'll handle everything and overthrow the Divine Realm if needed to be. Also, can I ask you some questions?"
"Go ahead"
"How were you able to know that? How would I know that you're telling the truth and not making it up? How would I know that you're not using me to cause chaos in the Divine Realm just because you came from the future and know my sister?"
"Origin Seeker... I assume your know what that means"
"What?! But Origin Seeker wouldn't just let you come to the Divine Realm? Surely, there's a bigger power involved?"
"Oh! I'm surprised that you of all people wasn't able to tell?"
"Tell what?"
「 The darkness, blood, and disaster is blocking your status as the Fate Controller 」
'Ah, I see... I'll tell her anyways'
「 Whatever you want 」
"I'm the Fate Controller"
"Ah, that makes sense... Wait what?!!"
"Yep"
"The Fate Controller... Hm, it was fortunate that I never disrespected you or something"
"No worries! You can do whatever you want since you're the Goddess of Destructon after all. It wouldn't look right if a being such as you is respectful to me"
"You're right... But I know my limits. I know who I should respect and those who I can look down upon"
"Uh huh"
Philip then stood up from his initial kneeling position and he went towards Chibi Sai, who has been stationary and sleeping in the air
"So, Philip... Who is Sai to you?"
Philip grabbed Chibi Sai and looked at her closer. Valkarrie doesn't seem to be bothered because she was thinking that he might be a special someone to Sai in the future. Not to mention, she was detecting a trace amount of Disaster Energy from him, the same energy from Chibi Sai
'He seems okay for a mortal... But I wonder if he's someone special to my sister... Not that I'm against it. It would be great if my sister is with the Apostle of Unknown'
Valkarrie was also looking at Chibi Sai's sleeping face. She was blushing because of her intense cuteness
"I saved Sai from her fate and liberated her from the destruction of her world"
"Destruction? What happened? Did I do it for some reason?"
"No... It's the usual human hero versus demon king..."
"But that doesn't destroy the world, does it?"
"Yeah, trust me... It did... There were Demon Generals and the Legendary Hero immolated the entire planet when there were only three residents left. I also saved the residents to preserve her power as the World Goddess..."
'Huh... Smart. How'd he know that as a mortal? Well, he is the Fate Controller...'
"Then, a third party invaded the planet. An alien race that I didn't have the chance to identify..."
"I see... Good job then"
"She's a friend, she's also a great asset to me"
"Great asset?"
"I need her power, therefore, I also nurture her power"
"In what way and for what?"
"By breaking her limits. Her peak is a transformation called as True Goddess of Disaster. She's a Spear Emperor by the way"
"Wait wait wait, hold on... True Goddess?!"
"Yeah? Don't you have a transformation like that?"
"No! None of the divine beings have that kind of transformation. What did you do? Is it an innate ability of a World Deity"
"Oh? That's interesting... But yeah, she's also a family and we take care of each other"
"Are you her significant other?"
Valkarrie cut to the chase and asked blatantly
"No, but he has one"
"Oh? Can I know his identity?"
"Nope, you'll have to find about it yourself i the future. You're getting too complacent in asking questions about the future, huh?"
"What? Well, I've gathered enough information anyways. I'll monitor my sister's world and destroy those alien invaders"
"Don't bother, you won't be able to change the future anyways"
"Why is that?"
"The timeline that I come from has completely shifted away from the Absolute Golden Timeline"
"And that means..."
"Because of me, anything and anywhere that happens whenever and wherever I am, it becomes part of my Golden Timeline, even the past timelines and future timelines. So, if you're going to do something in the future to change something in the future, only your own timeline will get affected, it won't affect mine"
"Haaah?! Im gettinf confused about this time sh*t... All I know is destruction"
"Don't worry, you'll be able to learn something in the future the moment you detect my presence or we meet each other. All divine beings are omnipresent through time anyways, right? That's why you already know my identity the moment you met me behind those doors"
"Very well... I'll keep that in mind"
Philip and Valkarrie made eye contact and initiated an understanding. Valkarrie broke their awkward staring contest
"So, what are you going to do with my sister? Why are still holding her? Give her to me!"
