Chapter 44 - The gathering of the gods part-2

Hell God spoke with a serious tone, "The Queen of the Samodiva Clan has broken out of her prison. She's moving toward the escape gate in hell. But she can't pass through on her own. If someone opens that gate for her… it's over."

A tense silence fell over the room, and then one of the gods stood abruptly. "Then let's kill her," said Zephyr, a powerful god known for his boldness.

Heaven God raised his hand to calm the room. "God Zephyr, you underestimate her. She's no ordinary foe. She is an absolute monster with unimaginable power, and worst of all, she has no known weakness."

Zephyr frowned, his hands clenched. "No weakness? That's impossible."

"The truth is harsh," Heaven God continued. "The user of the Trinity sacrificed himself to imprison her ten thousand years ago. Even with that level of power, it was barely enough to capture her. If she escapes now, it won't just be the underworld at stake—it will be the entire universe."

Hell God nodded grimly. "Her strength rivals that of the gods themselves. The only reason she's been held for so long is the intricate seals and the prison forged from the Trinity's power. But now, cracks are forming. Someone could open the gate, knowingly or unknowingly, and if that happens, we won't be able to stop her."

The tension in the hall grew as the gods realized the gravity of the situation. Zephyr sat back down, his expression stern, as he processed the information.

Heaven God continued, "That's why we summoned Akhil. His power is beyond that of any god since he is the user of time. He must take on the responsibility of protecting the universe from threats like this. We need a powerful protector, someone who can wield time itself and stand as a barrier between this universe and chaos."

Hell God glanced toward the horizon. "But even Akhil... if the Queen is freed, it will take all of us, and more, to contain the threat she poses. We must remain vigilant and prepared."

The hall filled with murmurs of agreement, the gods realizing that the war wasn't over. They had a new enemy to fear, one who had the potential to shatter their worlds.

Heaven God spoke again, his voice echoing across the room, "We don't know when or if someone will open the gate, but we cannot take any chances. We must strengthen our defenses and prepare the universe for what may come. Akhil's role is crucial in this, and we must ensure that he is ready to wield his power to its fullest extent."

As the gods discussed strategies and the future, the weight of the Samodiva Queen's return loomed over them all, a chilling reminder that even in the realm of gods, there were forces that could bring them to their knees.

In the distance, Akhil was preparing himself, unaware of the looming threat but knowing his time as a mere mortal protector was long over. He was now the Time God, and his task was about to begin in ways he never imagined.

Angel Bel looked at Akhil with a mix of admiration and concern. "Akhil, you need to meet the God of Future. He may know what's going to happen, but he's not in the meeting."

Akhil raised an eyebrow, confused. "Who is he?"

Bel responded, "He is Star, a being that exists 5,000 light-years away from here. His essence transcends the physical realm, which is why he's not present among us."

"5,000 light-years? No way!" Akhil exclaimed, disbelief etched on his face. The distance seemed insurmountable, a daunting challenge even for a being of his newfound power.

Bel reassured him, "I can carry you there. We'll arrive in ten minutes, but first, we need to defeat the God of Thunder to access the portal that leads to Star."

Akhil clenched his fists, determination blazing in his eyes. "I will beat him, and once I do, I'll completely destroy the Samodiva Queen if she escapes. No one should have that kind of power unchecked."

Bel nodded, impressed by Akhil's resolve. "Your confidence is admirable, but the God of Thunder is formidable. He won't take kindly to your intrusion, especially with the stakes so high."

"I don't care," Akhil replied, his voice steady. "This is bigger than any one of us. If the Samodiva Queen is unleashed, she could wreak havoc beyond our imagination. I'll do whatever it takes to protect the universe and my friends."

With that, Angel Bel raised her hand, summoning a shimmering portal that flickered with celestial energy. "Follow me, Akhil. Let's move quickly. Time is not on our side."

As they stepped into the portal, Akhil felt a rush of energy surge through him. He was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that his journey had only just begun.

They emerged in a realm of storm and fury, where thunder boomed like a war drum and lightning crackled in the skies. In the distance stood the God of Thunder, a towering figure clad in storm clouds, his eyes glowing with electric intensity.

Bel turned to Akhil, her expression serious. "Remember, we must outsmart him. Direct confrontation might not be the best approach."

Akhil nodded, his focus sharpening. "Let's make him see the bigger picture. If he stands in our way, I'll show him the true power of time."

With determination igniting his spirit, Akhil advanced toward the God of Thunder, prepared to negotiate or fight—whatever it took to reach Star and uncover the future that awaited them all.
