…
"Hero King, Arthur Pendragon, and Witch Queen, Selene Moriethy, this humble maiden will guide you to your seats."
Upon arriving at the huge gate.
A maiden came to receive Arthur, Selene, and Daisy.
"Please." The Hero King smiled gently at the girl, causing the maiden to blush a bit with the power of his handsomeness.
Daisy, the current companion of Selene and one of the ancient witches, rolled her eyes at the maiden's reaction but didn't retort.
I mean, she too felt that the man's charisma is quite 'heroic' and bright for most people.
Only her queen and other strong-willed beings have full resistance to it. But even then, one can't help but have a sense of favorable impression towards the man.
"Y-yes… Please, follow me." The maiden led the way while the three followed.
…
"The Hero King, Arthur Pendragon, and the Witch Queen, Selene Moriethy of the Human Faction have arrived." A voice resounded within the room, causing the people present to look towards the entrance.
"Oh? The Human Faction actually have enough time to attend the conference? This is surprising..." A slim man with large curved demonic horns teasingly smiled, seeing who appeared at the entrance.
"Of course. Don't underestimate the potential of us humans, Hades." A sharp light flashed within Arthur's eyes, as he went to sit in his respective chair.
"My Queen." Daisy assisted Selene to her seat, as she stood behind her queen.
"Hmm." Selene went to her seat beside Arthur, as she maintained her neutral face.
"Oh, The Witch Queen–"
"Stop it, devil god. Don't create a ruckus here." A stern voice suddenly interrupted the God of the Underworld, causing the leaders of the Human Faction to look in the voice's direction.
In their sight, is the angelic man who radiates golden light, accompanied by his six golden wings. He is dressed in white and golden garments.
He gave the evil god a warning glance, causing the Hero King to nod in appreciation while Selene maintained her neutral look.
"Heh, what are you gonna do, Daddy's boy? Fight me here?" Hades gave a mocking grin while a demonic aura rushed out of his body.
Everyone's eyes turned serious. This evil god is clearly looking for trouble.
"Why all the ruckus, Hades? Satan sure made a bad choice sending you as the substitute for this conference."
"... His personality has changed, but his choices are bad as ever..." A domineering old voice reverberated throughout the room followed by the introduction of another voice:
"The Allfather and the King of Norse Gods, Odin, The God of Thunder, Thor, and, the Goddess of Love, Freya of the Norse Mythology Faction have arrived."
Followed by a flash of blue light, multiple figures appeared at the entrance of the room.
"Tch. The old man from another faction." Hades clicked his tongue but he ultimately stopped his teasing.
Although he's a god. Even he could not afford to offend the Allfather of Norse mythology.
"Kahahahaha~ well met, Old Man." A boisterous laugh resounded.
"The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, and Sha Wujing of the Journey To The West from the Chinese Mythology Faction have arrived."
A red light appeared next to the Norse mythology gods. When the light subsided, a monkey man who held his magical staff at his back can be seen with a big smile on his face.
"Seriously, Wukong… You don't need to laugh so loud, this is a formal conference, you know?" A bald man with a great beard, reprimanded.
"Hahahaha~ it's fine, it's fine. No need to be so uptight, Wujing." Odin gave a little laugh as he, Freya, and Thor went to their respective seats.
"Ah~ what a headache." The beautiful goddess from Norse mythology held her forehead as if she just suffered from the greatest stress in her life.
"Yeah… those pests are a bit too many." A tone of annoyance came out of Thor's mouth.
Just like Earth, they were caught off guard by those monsters.
Although the damage done is lesser than what the Earth suffered. Those from the Norse mythology are also fighters and valkyries who are the symbol of the defense of the Norse, were able to contain the damage and push those monsters back.
Not to mention the strong gods who govern the whole faction are also there…
However, what's worrying was that the amount of those monsters almost amounted to a billion!
A billion!
Not to mention that there were actually types of monsters who self-detonated spewing acids to multiple of their fighters!
But that is not the worst part.
The worst part is that the fluids of those monsters actually contain some sort of corruption.
It is a good thing that the people from Norse mythology are both strong in body and soul, thus they have more resistance.
The gods who have the power to touch and interact with the souls were able to remove the corruption.
With the power of the healers, the warriors are now fine… at least 60% of them were fine, and the rest died.
The people who were corrupted were too many, there's not enough time and healers for everyone to make it through.
As such, Freya's headache is reasonable. In fact, every god from the other mythologies felt it too.
"Sigh… those things are too hideous, their fluids can actually destroy the soul and body of a being. This is too troublesome." The angelic-looking man with golden wings sighed with a frown on his face.
"Oh? The Biblical God is not here even in this situation?" Sun Wukong played his Ruyi Bang in his hands as he asked in curiosity.
"Yes. The Almighty Father has his hands full cleaning up the mess, he sent me as his representative."
"Well, you're the leader of seraphims, the Archangel, Michael, you do have the capabilities." The Monkey King's magical staff turned tiny as he inserted it in his ear, while he laid back his body on the chair.
"Yes, yes." Michael sighed a little.
Despite being the representative of heaven from the Biblical Faction, he still felt a bit stifled with all the big shots around… even though he himself is one of them.
"Leader–" Ariel, a beautiful angel dressed in maiden armor, walked forward, smiling wryly.
"It's fine." Michael raised his hand, indicating his fine, while the seraphim girl nodded as she stepped back to her position.
"... Odin, I'm surprised you actually have the time to come here instead of sending a representative." Selene, who has been quiet all this time actually spoke, while Arthur nodded in agreement.
"The same can be said to you and the hero beside you." The Allfather gave a little laugh and shrug.
It really is quite a surprise for all the gods present here.
Humans are one of the weakest races, this is a fact known by all… but, it is also a fact that humans are the ones who have the greatest potential.
And through life and death experiences can they bring this potential out that even gods have to be wary of.
This is also how heroes are born… beings who have fully awakened their sleeping potentials through their life and death experiences… although, that's just one of the requirements to be a hero.
"What can I say… As a leader, having competent allies sure takes a load of work from your shoulders." Arthur gave a thankful smile.
"Hahahaha! True on that. The Human Faction is a lot more competent, unlike the others there who only know how to usurp power and are greedy for their own selfish reason." Odin gave a little laugh, as he glanced at the side of Greek mythology.
Hades snorted. He doesn't care about that incestuous king of theirs that is Zeus, but being insulted as a whole faction was not a pleasant thing to hear.
"Stop talking shit, old man. How come you are still not dead with that old and fragile body of yours?" A thunderous voice suddenly resounded followed by the announcement of the arrival of another faction:
"The God-King of Mount Olympus and the leader of the Greek Mythology faction, Zeus, The Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite, The Goddess of Marriage and the wife of Zeus, Hera from the Greek Mythology Faction have arrived."
A green light flashed, and soon a figure of an old king in contrast to his muscular body, dressed in a Greek king's clothing appeared rather arrogantly along with the two beautiful female goddesses at his side.
Not minding the old king's words, everyone's eyes fell upon the most beautiful goddess in existence, Aphrodite.
The girl was too beautiful!
'Weaker-willed' beings such as Thor and Hades who were present, felt their throats dry, while their heart rate and lust increased.
"Tch." Freya and Ariel, who is at the back, clicked their tongues in annoyance.
This bitch is the bane of the existence of all women!
That's especially true for Freya who is also considered a goddess of beauty in her mythological world.
Arthur just smiled, while Selene just remained her stoic face. Sun Wukong, Odin, and Michael just glanced but soon looked away, while the rest stared at the beautiful goddess.
Aphrodite, who is the current center of attraction, nodded in satisfaction.
Charisma and beauty sure is a great power!
Hera, who is on her side, rolled her eyes. This bitch really wants attention wherever she goes.
"What took you so long?" Hades was irritated. He had to suffer and hear the insult of their faction because of this hateful god-king of their mythology.
"Nothing much, just some mess to take care of, while the 'opportunists' who took advantage of the situation were purged." The God-King sighed in frustration as he sat in his chair, followed by the two beauties.
"Kahahahaha! Not much of a surprise there, since when did internal wars stop at your faction?" The Monkey King gave a boisterous laugh, making Shu Wujing at his side sweat in worry.
"You got something to say there, monkey?" Blue and gold lightning flashed in Zeus' giant hands while his eyes glowed in a dark blue color.
"Yes, I have. You wanna fight?" The Monkey King provoked in response, his Ryui Bang who is clad in red and golden aura appeared in his hands. He readied himself in a battle stance.
"Wukong–" Shu Wujing was about to stop Sun Wukong, but was interrupted first by the teenage-looking girl.
"... Gentlemen, if you're here to fight, go do it outside, this is not what I'm here for…"
"This is a conference, not an arena. A battle junkie should not be in a place of intellect and discussion if he can't possess nor intend to have one." Selene, the quiet 'kid' of the conference, gave a brutal statement with a stoic face and neutral tone.
Zeus blushed in shame, while Sun Wukong didn't seem to be bothered by it as he just shrugged in disappointment while they both returned to their seats.
Odin, Arthur, and Michael gave satisfied smiles.
Even Hades sneered a bit, while Hera and Aphrodite looked at Selene in fascination.
'That little kid who used to cry has grown up to be a dependable and astute leader, huh.' Odin felt a bit nostalgic, as he rubbed his long white beard.
…
An hour of waiting has passed, and soon, leaders, progenitors, gods, and representatives from the different factions and races have arrived at the 'room'.
Despite calling it a room, it is more of a hall of gathering.
Many of the leaders from the other factions and races weren't able to come, due to many reasons, most of them being busy fixing the disorder the invasion brought to their places.
"Fate Priestess Maeia has arrived." A maiden's voice suddenly caught the attention of everyone who was chatting idly.
With a bow, the maiden opened the door.
Everybody fell silent. They anticipated the appearance of the mysterious priestess.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
The sound of footsteps was heard, and soon…
"Houu~ so that's the mysterious Goddess of Fate…" Hades was stunned by the woman before him.
A beautiful woman with a motherly charm dressed in priestess clothing that emphasizes her worldwide bust size and her plump butt, came inside the room.
She is quite on par with Aphrodite!
Ariel, who is at the back, glanced at Aphrodite.
Seeing her curious and a bit of a surprised expression, she smiled teasingly as she redirected her gaze to the priestess.
'Who would've thought that there's actually someone who has a beauty that is on par with that bitch?' Freya raised an eyebrow, looking at the 'holy' and 'matured' version of Aphrodite.
"We will start the conference. I hope everyone won't mind."
In contrast with her appearance, the frown, and seriousness planted on her face and the maidens behind her, snapped the ogling males back to rationality.
"That's fine, Priestess. The Egyptian Mythology and the Hindu Mythology Factions have asked me to also be their representative." Odin gave a relaxed smile, as he rubbed his beard, looking wise with the gesture.
"That's true, the Gods from our Japanese Mythology Faction are also busy…"
"Oh, before I forgot, Izanagi-sama informed me that the Celtic Mythology Faction and the Philippine Mythology Faction have asked us to be their representative." A Japanese goddess dressed in a red yukata covered her mouth with a fan, as she made a gentle reminder.
"I understand, Lady Amaterasu and Lord Odin." Maeia nodded in acknowledgment, as she went to the very front seat, where everyone could see her.
Scanning her gaze through the crowd, everyone was quiet and ready to listen to her.
The Priestess nodded as she began her speech:
"I assume everyone who is here today must have an idea what is the purpose of this conference?" The Priestess started off with a question.
Everyone who is present gave their own ways of affirmation.
"Well then, that makes things easier… I'm pretty sure every one of you is dying to know what those monsters are, who is behind this, why did these things suddenly happen… and why were you warned of the calamity late."
"Everyone must have their own conclusions, theories, and speculations about these things… The timer on the corner of your vision also gives you a hint."
"Today, I will try to answer every question everyone has, and the disaster… no."
"The doomsday that might end our universe if we're not prepared!"
"The extinction that might fall upon every living being in this universe! Yes, even the immortal in souls, the gods!"
The Priestess proclaimed ever so loudly. Her voice resounded in each corner of the conference room.
Silence.
Everyone was stunned by her words.
Even the ice-hardened-faced Selene was no exception.
But before they were even able to digest Maeia's words.
Bang!
Maeia slammed both her hands loudly on the table, causing everyone to snap out of their dazed state, as they refocused their attention on the beautiful priestess in front of them.
At the same time, she stood up and started the universal meeting that shall be marked down in the annals of history as…
"Let the Universal Doomsday Conference commence!"
The Universal Doomsday Conference.
…
