Chapter 26 [Other Supreme God] Part 2
Asoka's calm demeanor belied the weight of his request, "I ask that you summon the 4 Supreme Gods whose Apostles were captured by my people. I wish to meet with them and share something crucial. I'm aware of your connections and your membership in the godly counsel. While others see you as a mere supreme beast god, I know you possess a primordial manipulation aspect. Fear not, your secret is safe with me."
Shreya's response was immediate and intense. A massive aura burst forth from her being, releasing a dense killing intent directed at Asoka. The air within a 10-meter radius of Shreya froze, encased in ice, as her body radiated an unsettling chill. Her eyes turned glacial, betraying a hint of her true nature.
Unbeknownst to the other gods, Shreya's true aspect was not just ordinary fire, ice, and snow manipulation, but a primordial manipulation of the ice-flame fusion element, a secret she kept hidden beneath her icy facade.
The fiery storm within Shreya gradually subsided, her killing intent and icy aura dissipating as she realized Asoka remained unfazed, his gaze still diverted. Her anger simmered, but she restrained herself, aware of her vulnerability within his domain.
With a deep sigh, Shreya summoned a sleek, spherical device. As she channeled her energy into it, the device radiated a soft glow, and text flickered to life on its surface before vanishing. This universal transmission device enabled communication over vast distances, facilitating the exchange of messages and images. However, its capabilities were limited, unable to bridge the gap between separate domains or dimensions within the universe.
...
In a distant, undisclosed location, a resplendent palace shone brightly, its walls and halls infused with a dense array of light elements. Within its majestic confines, a serene and quiet room beckoned, adorned with golden and white spectacles that refracted and reflected the light in dazzling patterns. Exquisite furniture, masterfully crafted by skilled artisans, filled the space, each piece telling a story of the craftsman's expertise and dedication.
At the room's center, a sumptuous golden bed cradled a vision of loveliness, a woman of unparalleled beauty sitting in a tantalizing pose. Her allure was so captivating that any man who laid eyes on her would be irrepressibly drawn to her, forgetting, in that moment, that she was a supreme Goddess of the godly counsel.
The Goddess was none other than Elena Valeria, Goddess of Light.
Goddess Elena Valeria, the luminous embodiment of light and wisdom, radiated an ethereal aura. Her golden locks flowed like a sun-kissed waterfall, framing her heart-shaped face and accentuating her mesmerizing golden eyes, shining bright with divine intelligence. Her skin was a flawless canvas of creamy smoothness, inviting the gaze to linger.
As one of the twelve heavenly beauties in the Divine Domain, Elena Valeria's beauty was a masterpiece, crafted by the gods themselves. Her curves were a symphony of perfection, with ample assets that included her D-cup breasts, making her a vision of loveliness that inspired reverence and awe.
Goddess Valeria's mind was preoccupied with the recent troubling event: the capture of her newly appointed Apostle, Aether, by an unknown race. During her meditation, she sensed Aether's distress and attempted to witness the battle through his eyes. This divine connection allowed her to perceive the mortal dimension but at a significant cost of divine energy.
Through Aether's eyes, Valeria saw a pink-haired girl emerge unscathed from a fiery tornado, exuding an aura of royalty. The girl's features were distinct from humans, marked by long, pointed ears, her face covers under a mask. Valeria watched as Aether, exhausted from his final attack, was effortlessly defeated by the girl and lost consciousness. The connection was severed, leaving Valeria with a sense of unease and unanswered questions.
Just as Goddess Elena Valeria was deep in thought, her transmission device flickered to life, signaling an incoming message from Shreya. As she touched the device, the words resonated within her mind, and her eyes widened in astonishment. With a sudden burst of urgency, she leapt from her bed, her golden hair flowing behind her like a river of sunset hues.
In an instant, she appeared in the sky above her palace, her divine presence illuminating the air. With a single step, she vanished, traversing the vast expanse towards the Chaotic Land of God. Elena was not alone in her response; three other supreme gods and goddesses, recipients of Shreya's enigmatic message, also converged upon the Chaotic Land, their divine auras converging like celestial bodies aligning in the heavens.
The other three Supreme Gods are:
● Beast God 'Fanria'
● Dragon Goddess 'Aurora realheart'
● Jotun God 'Anderson Silvercrest'
....
Half an hour passed, and the four gods materialized before Asoka's divine realm, where a resplendent golden gate manifested, swinging open to reveal a diminutive figure, Lila, standing at just 30 cm tall. With a warm smile, she greeted the gods, "I welcome Wolf God Fanria, Dragon Goddess Aurora Realheart, Jotun God Anderson Silvercrest, and Light Goddess Elena Valeria, honored guests of my master. I am Lila, your guide. Please follow me."
As they trailed Lila through the divine realm, the gods' initial amazement gave way to shock and horror. Their gazes first settled on Shreya, and they sensed an aura that made their divine instincts tremble. The air around her seemed to vibrate with the power of a High Supreme God, an unfathomable presence that left them aghast.
The gods' minds reeled as they struggled to comprehend Shreya's ascension to High Supreme God. Their attention then shifted to Asoka, and they were met with a vision that left them all, regardless of gender, blushing furiously. Asoka's long, golden-green hair cascaded down his back like a river of sunset hues, his eyes shining with an otherworldly light. His appearance was ethereal, like a forgotten immortal, and his presence was as intense as crashing waves.
Their gazes were drawn to his striking feature - his long, pointed ears, a trait that seemed almost...mischievous. As they approached, Asoka's eyes locked onto theirs, and he introduced himself with a warm, enigmatic smile, "It is a pleasure to introduce myself. I am Asoka, God of Magic, Contracts, and Wealth. And, I am also the god of the race that has captured your Apostle."
As Asoka's words hung in the air, the four gods' faces reflected a kaleidoscope of emotions: anger, curiosity, shock, and more. Their instincts urged them to attack this enigmatic god, but reason held them back. They were, after all, in Asoka's domain, and the unknown dangers that lurked within were a potent deterrent.
Their gazes, however, inadvertently fell upon the ring adorning Asoka's finger, and a collective shiver ran down their divine spines. The ring emanated an aura of formidable power, warning them of the perils that lay hidden beneath Asoka's charming facade.
As they struggled to find their voices, Asoka's gentle gesture and inviting smile stayed their words. "You are my guests," he reminded them, his tone gracious but firm. "Let us savor the tea and conversation first. Later, you may speak your minds." With a subtle nod, he beckoned them to sit, his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.
....
Thirty minutes passed, and the four gods wore identical expressions, mirroring Shreya's earlier astonishment, curiosity, greed, and amazement. The tea had bestowed upon each of them a unique benefit, tailored to their individual needs and aspirations.
Wolf God Fanria achieved a breakthrough, ascending to a higher rank of Supreme God. Jotun God Anderson's divine energy surged in both quantity and quality, amplifying his formidable presence within his realm. Light Goddess Elena Valeria experienced an expansion of her soul body, further solidifying her divine essence.
However, Dragon Goddess Aurora received the most profound benefit. Her dragon bloodline underwent a remarkable evolution, automatically enhancing her talent, aspect comprehension, innate abilities, physical strength, and soul. The rainbow fruit's gifts were unpredictable, ranging from talent amplification to mana and divine energy boosts, bloodline or physique evolution, aspect comprehension, soul strength increases, epiphanies, mastery of skills, and acquisition of new elemental affinities.
The benefits, though varied, were capped at a certain limit, leaving the gods in a state of wonder and awe, grateful for Asoka's enigmatic hospitality.
The four gods gazed at Asoka with a mix of gratitude and greed, their eyes sparkling with newfound understanding. "Thank you for this opportunity," they chimed in unison, now comprehending the secret behind Shreya's breakthrough.
As they pondered Asoka's true nature, they couldn't help but suspect him to be an Old God, a survivor of the ancient event known as Armageddon Culling. Shreya, too, shared this notion, her mind racing with the implications.
Elena's enchanting voice broke the silence, her words laced with curiosity. "I've never seen you before, but your appearance, particularly those striking pointed ears, bears an uncanny resemblance to that pink-haired girl and her companions." Her gaze locked onto Asoka's, her eyes sparkling with intensity. "Your disciple and her allies are the ones who defeated and captured our Apostles, aren't they?"
Asoka's sigh was followed by a gentle nod. "Yes, that was my disciple. I didn't expect her to cross paths with your disciples so soon." He offered a reassuring smile. "Fear not for your Apostles' lives; they are safe. Let us observe their current endeavors."
With a wave of his hand, a holographic screen materialized, displaying the Apostles as they faced the Eight Firstborn Origin Elves. A voice boomed from the screen, "Welcome an Apostles of god or goddesses, Ah, whatever you are... and you all are here to listen to your fate."
