At a graveyard of the city where many dead rests, a man was bowing towards a grave with his right hand horizontally pressed against his stomach. The name written on the grave was Xuhuna Xariot.
The man bowed at the grave when, suddenly, another person quietly appeared before him.
"He refused."
The man bowed for a full three minutes. After three minutes, he turned towards Aether, "Then, it will be more difficult to achieve our goal." The man sighed, "If only, a Primordial God could have backed us."
Aether turned his eyes from grave to Hasan, the Supreme God of Wisdom, "Do you have the confidence to outsmart even the Primordials?" There was doubt in the eyes of Aether as he asked his question. Though, good cultivation does not grantee incredible intelligence and wisdom, but it indeed helps in decreasing the limits of brain.
Aether's doubt was justifiable. Hasan was not very strong, but with his intelligence alone he had made many allies with other Supremes. With his conspiracy and schemes, he had killed many gods, which included some Supremes also. But he had never schemed against Primordials.
Hasan eyes were calm and stared continuously at Aether's eyes. "If you believe that I can, then I will." He said, his face forming a smile. "Among three Primordial Supreme, Benevolent is the easiest to scheme against. The only difficulty will be Malevolent and Chaos. But it doesn't matter if we won't let them recover their strength quickly."
Aether stood there silently. He still wonders if he is on the right track or not. Will we win? He does not have much worry for other Supremes in The Council, but the Primordials are the one that pose many threats to them. They are very mysterious and contain many secrets about the universe. There is no doubt that the Primordials know many things about the universe which other Supremes do not know. They also rarely interact with the world other than Chaos. In fact, Hasan had said once that the form they show might not be their real form. They might be something else, completely different.
"Well, you don't need to worry about the Primordials right now, other than Chaos. I suspect that even after the Benevolent and Malevolent wake up then the former will possibly just try to help humans while the latter might not even show his face due to insecurity. The only problem is Chaos."
Aether still looked at Hasan silently for some seconds before asking, "I had heard that Chaos is unpredictable. Then, so how will you predict his next moves?" In a battle of mind, predicting the opponent next moves is one of the most important strategies. But if one is unpredictable and completely random, then how will its opponent be able to predict anything?
Hasan was silent for some seconds before replying, "Chaos is difficult to predict, but not impossible. From the outside, chaotic systems appear to have traits that are semi-random and unpredictable. But even though such systems are more sensitive to their initial conditions, they do still follow all the same laws of universe and reality."
After explaining to Aether, Hasan did not wait for him and started walking. "Let's just walk around since we have come here."
But before he walked away, Aether suddenly said something which made him stop in his tracks, "There was also a god aside from Zigeyr." Aether spoke in a tone of confusion. "And I was unable to see his divinity and his realm. It seems to be shrouded in layers of fogs."
Hasan stopped for a moment, but then he sighed and just started walking again. There are too many variables and he will solve it one by one.
But it is undeniable that the God of Wisdom, without his strength, also feel quite insecure.
Aether looked at walking Hasan and then bows towards the grave with his right hand horizontally against his stomach for full three minutes. After which, he follows Hasan.
Back at Zigeyr's apartment, Zigeyr was still observing the other two gods movement. They seem to have been awakened near this country, and their quick appearance just after awakening explains how the mastermind had planned all of this in a small time left before everyone fell asleep.
"That Hasan will be quite a problem." Zigeyr commented as he withdraws his divine eyes. He looked at the Ked who was still kneeling before him. "You seem to have recovered much of your powers."
"Yes, Master, but it will still take quite a time to completely recover." The weakening effect of sleep had reduced Ked from a god to a mortal, but now it seems that after consuming multiple humans, he had recovered back to Divine realms. The divinity this servant of Chaos practice is a mystery to many, which even a Supreme cannot gaze upon. As for what divinity, this man is practicing, others can only guess.
"The others still seems to be in Mortal realms." Zigeyr speaks, and his tone was of displeased.
"Yes, Master. They are practicing hard."
Zigeyr was silent for some seconds, seemingly thinking about something. Then, he smiled and said, "Ked, if they recovered to Divine realms until next month, then just ask them to station at different borders with other nations. If they don't, then ask them to come back here."
"Yes, Master." Ked was unable to grasp what his master's want to do? Will they get punishment if they are unable to step in Divine realm before next month? But it did not seem to be his style of doing things. In fact, Ked did not know because Zigeyr had never taken servants or something like that. He was the only one who had been with Zigeyr for many years.
"You can go." Zigeyr disperse Ked and stood up from his chair. There will be many gods coming to meet, and he did not want to welcome them all in his apartment. He walks outside his apartment.
But as he walks outside his apartment, his apartment suddenly and quietly started to transform into a castle which seems to be stretched into the sky. Aside from the castle, there seems to be many monsters which suddenly appeared in the sky, hovering around the Castle. This was the Castle of Chaos, which stands as one of the strongest bases among The Council's Supremes. The castle was so gigantic that it can be seen clearly even from the space.
