Nuwa covered her mouth with an ornate fan and giggled. "I know, isn't it great? Thousands of years ago, my Immortal Palace had tens of thousands of human cultivators trying to become immortals. When this council made it so that we couldn't expose ourselves to mortals anymore, we lost all of those disciples! Now though, I have already begun recruiting again!"
"What!? You're not supposed to expose yourself to humans! We all agreed on that rule together!" Bast complained. "I've only been allowed to communicate with my champion, the Black Panther, and even then I only did so through dreams! That's not fair!" She stamped her foot.
"That sounds like a you problem." Quetzalcoatl said with a laugh. "Ever since finding out we are real again, my people have been throwing a whole bunch of fun festivals! It's been great. That rule was really stupid in hindsight."
A loud belch echoed out around the hall. "What!? We can go talk to mortals again!? When did this happen?" Lugh asked in surprise.
"The angels exposed the Supernatural months ago. What have you been doing all this time?" Nuwa asked him.
"DRINKING!" He boasted proudly. "What else am I supposed to do?"
Bast scoffed. "The princess of the Wakandan people has literally renounced ME! She's started wearing a cross and even traveled across the ocean to meet that damn Fallen Angel! How can you all let that stand!?" Bast demanded an explanation. "My people are blatantly being poached away!"
"Maybe you should give your people some actual benefits and they won't leave?" Quetzalcoatl suggested.
"I gave them vibranium!"
"No you didn't, that meteor randomly fell in your territory. You got incredibly lucky!" Lugh said the truth and Bast grimaced.
She crossed her arms and huffed. "Fine then! When that blasted Fallen Angel comes for you all, we'll see how you like it!" Bast yelled in anger. She pointed her finger around angrily. "Will you all roll over when she comes and rips down your own pantheons!?"
Many of the Gods and Goddess in the amphitheater started booing her.
"That's never going to happen!"
"She wouldn't dare!"
"We are gods! There's no way we will ever fall!"
BOOM!
Another bolt of thunder echoed out across the sky. "Ok, that's enough out of the Kitty Goddess! Losing one follower is nothing to complain about. It's time we get back to the important topic. My MASTER BOLT! Not only that, but TWO of my children have gone missing. Ares and Artemis hadn't been seen in over a week now!" Zeus proclaimed.
"Hic...Hahaha! I bet they got taken prisoner by Bast's nemesis. That Fallen Angel or whatever…" Lugh said sarcastically while looking at Bast. The Panther Goddess scowled back at him.
Nuwa raised her fan over her face and laughed. "Ara, it is rude to accuse someone who isn't here. Also, what would a Fallen Angel want with Zeus's Master Bolt?" She asked.
Zeus suddenly stiffened in his throne. 'What would a Fallen Angel want with his Master Bolt…?' Only he knew the answer to that question. Only he knew that his Bolt was not, in fact, made of his own Divine Essence. It was created from the stolen severed wings of an incredibly powerful Angel. An Angel who's Lighting was even more powerful than his own back in his heyday! 'Did the Angel's find out!? Did they come for revenge!?'
Zeus turned his head and glared at Bast. "You there! Kitty Goddess! What was that Fallen Angels name again?" He asked, demandingly.
"Don't call me Kitty Goddess! I am the Panther Goddess Bast! As for her name. It's…" Bast trailed off and didn't get to finish her answer as something distracted her.
THRUM!
In the middle of the amphitheater, currently filled with the world's most powerful Gods and Goddess, a purple portal materialized. Out of the portal stepped two women. One of them was dressed in dark Asgardian Armor and emanating an aura of Power! The other was an incredibly beautiful woman, wearing a black dress that emanated Death! She had 10 beautiful black wings trailing behind her.
The two intruders turned and looked around the amphitheater filled with Gods and Goddesses. "Hello, everyone. I am Layla of the Fallen and this is Hela the Queen of Asgard. We're here to take the entire Olympian pantheon into custody!" Layla declared to everyone there. She raised an eyebrow when she noticed all of their strange expressions.
Needless to say, all of the Gods there were flabbergasted.
"Ara?" Nuwa murmured in confusion while staring at the two intruders.
"Well, shit…the Kitty Goddess was right for once." Quetzalcoatl said with a small laugh.
"Get the fuck outta here…" Lugh mumbled and actually put down his own drink for the first time.
Bast stood up again and pointed at Layla and Hela in vindication! She was grinning madly. "See! Do you see! I was right! I told you that she would come!"
