Chereads / DxD: King of Salt / Chapter 55 - Chapter 54

Chapter 55 - Chapter 54

Marduk sat in his throne as he waited for the rest of the most important Gods of his pantheon to appear as he tapped the throne with his finger. They were appearing after he summoned them as they appeared one after the other.

He even saw his parents there as well as he knew that they would appear as they wouldn't have missed the same surge of energy that he had felt due to the power they have. And he can see that some of the Gods there already have an idea about what is happening.

"How many of you do not know about the reason as to why I have called you here?" Marduk asked as he looked at the Gods there.

A few Gods said their thoughts and confusion as they didn't know about why they were there. Those like Enlil, Nergal, Ereshkigal, Ishtar, Ninhurag and Shamash and his parents who already knew about it stayed silent as they watched him.

"Then hear what I have to say. Before I had let out my energy a few moments ago, I had felt the energy of Tiamat and Abzu from outside our dimension." Marduk said to them seriously.

"What?" Some of the gods said in shock when they heard that as they looked at him.

Both the male and female gods and goddesses were shocked and surprised at the information as they also felt fear from hearing it. After all, if it is true that both of them were alive, then there is a chance that they might come after them for revenge and they weren't sure if they would be able to take on both Primordial Gods at once.

"I have called all of you here to inform those of you who haven't noticed it and inform you and to hear your opinions regarding their survival." Marduk said to the assembled Gods as he looked at them.

"Well, did you managed to learn from where the energy came from?" Nergal asked him as he looked at his king.

"Not yet." Marduk said before he glanced at Anu and his wife Ki.

Both parents looked at each other as the other Gods talked with each other. One amongst them, Ereshkigal just sat in her seat and watched the proceedings.

The only reason she had even appeared for this meeting was because Marduk had summoned her alongside the other Gods. After all, she has no interest in what the other Gods do as she only cares about what happens in her domain in the Underworld.

'I just hope that Marduk doesn't tell me to do something. I'd rather not be involved in their disputes.' Ereshkigal thought to herself as she sat and watched the way the Gods reacted to the news.

She also saw her twin sister Ishtar talking with Shamash as the two were murmuring, but she didn't see any need in trying to hear what they were talking about as she drank some wine that she created as she watched the frantic movements of her fellow Gods.

But soon after Marduk slammed the knob of his axe on the ground as it gained the attention of the assembled Gods as he looked at them.

"At the current moment, I wish to go find them and finsih the job." Marduk said to them as he looked at the assembled Gods.

The Gods started to murmur again as they looked at each other in alarm at the words of their king.

"Even if we do go after the two of them. Are we even capable of defeating the two of them together. Lord Abzu is the first God of wisdom of our Pantheon, and lady Tiamat is the Goddess of Creation after Lord Enki." Shamash said to him as he looked at his king.

"We have to find a way to defeat them. We had established ourselves as the rulers of our Pantheon and had removed the two Primordials. But now they have come back, which might cause the other pantheons to think that we are not able to handle beings of such might. We have to make sure that all of them knows that we are capable of taking care of ourselves." Marduk said to them seriously as he looked at them.

The Gods looked at each other after hearing his words as it did show the logic to them. They have to show to the other pantheons that they are capable of taking care of beings of such might, and that they are worthy of their position as the highest Gods of their pantheon.

"Do we even know where they are?" Ishtar asked as she looked bored.

Her question caused the Gods around her to look at her as they couldn't help but take in her form as she stood there as she is showing quite a lot of skin for them to see. She is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful goddesses of their pantheon and she knows it.

She likes the attention that she gets and flaunts her body while also protecting her most important parts while also adorning herself in jewelry and gold that would increase her beauty as well.

And befitting of her beauty and lineage, she is very loved by her people and is known as the Queen of Heaven, being a parallel to her sister Ereshkigal who is the Queen of the Underworld.

Ereshkigal narrowed her eyes at hearing her sister's words and how casual she sounded, but none of the Gods did anything and just looked at Marduk as their king regarded her question.

"I do not have the necessary skill to know that, but perhaps our parents know where it is." Marduk said as he looked at his parents.

The other Gods also looked at the previous monarchs and saw the two Gods contemplating the question as they looked at each other for a few moments before coming to a conclusion.

"We know where the both of them are. But it is not the place for us to go and fight." Anu said to the assembled Gods.

"Where is it?" Enlil asked them curiously to learn about it.

Both Gods looked at eachother for a moment before looking at the gods.

"We have come to the conclusion that both Abzu and Tiamat are at the wedding between the members of the God of Heaven's Angel and the Titaness children of Chaos." Ki said to them as this shocked the deities present.

"What!?" The gods asked in shock at hearing that.
