Chapter 975 - The Great God Meeting

Chapter 975 - The Great God Meeting

-----

The Gods of the central continent gathered within their Pantheon, the large Divine Realm of the Great God Jupiter, who directly served the Supreme God of Star Oceans, and who was the one that represented him alongside all of his children, including Gods such as Europa.

But this meeting was special, more special than many others, as the strongest beings within all of the Realm of Vida gathered here, the powerful Great Gods! All of the ones that lived in the Realm of Vida, in fact!

Jupiter, Father of the Sky and Great God of Light and Stars was in the middle of the large roman stadium-like residence where all Great Gods and their subordinate Gods gathered, which also included some prestigious Families… such as Zeus.

Jupiter resembled a large nebula of orange, yellow-gold, and brown colors spiraling, in the dim shape of a human, he was accompanied by his closest daughter Europa, who had recently reached Rank 9 in the God Realm ad might be close to becoming another Great Goddess.

Europa resembled a beautiful woman with long brown and blonde hair, with eyes that resembled flashing nebulas and stars. She was accompanied by Baltis as well, who was actually her subordinate goddess.. Europa knew of Baltis' affair with Zeus but paid no mind to it.

Aside from Jupiter's group, there was also Ova, the Great Goddess of Beasts, the mother of all Beastmen, her children are the founders of each race and also of their respective kingdoms. She is a cold-hearted woman who does not care about her children, leaving most of such work to her direct descendants, the Demi-Gods of Beasts that represent each race. She does have close children though, who are also separated from their other siblings living around the Border Continent maintaining the beast-kin.

Unlike her title, Ova didn't resemble any beast but was a beautiful woman with long yellow-gold hair, a slender and near-perfect figure, and sharp emerald eyes. She had no animal features at all, but was the one that represented nature and beasts the most, as she could tame any beast and use their powers… it was speculated that she indeed had a beast form, which resembled a grotesque chimera. Ova found this form unsightly, so she never used it.

She was accompanied by a God resembling an angel, with long blonde hair, sharp emerald eyes, and a slender and beautiful figure, with two enormous pure, white-colored feathered wings. He was Bazael, the Beast God of Cranes. His figure was slender and tall, and his songs were the favorite of his mother, becoming a close subordinate of her. He seemed to ignore his other siblings.

And to her other side, there was another Goddess similar to Bazael, but of smaller stature, almost like a young girl in her late teens, with large and sparkling emerald eyes, short blonde hair, and a slender and small figure, with a flat ?h?st and small white wings behind her back. She was Venettia, the Beast Goddess of Doves. She worked as her mother's messenger.

Unlike other beast-kin races, bird-related beast-kin were more accepted, as they resembled holy figures such as angels, of course, only those of pure white colors were accepted, so Crane and White Dove Beast-kin were in the central continent as citizens, mostly of royal families as they were treated as descendants of the Great Goddess of Beasts… Even though right in front of their noses, other descendants such as Dog-kin or Cat-kin were treated as slaves… It was purely a toxic and biased viewpoint, which not even their ancestor cared about.

While Jupiter was a direct servant and loyal subordinate of the Supreme God of Star Oceans, Ova was the direct subordinate of the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin, both being very important figures in the entire Realm.

Of course, there were more than two Great Gods in the Realm Vida, as two other figures were sitting in this place accompanied by their subordinates.

One of them was a radiant woman, perhaps only a bit less radiant than Ova, but at the same time even more beautiful and "holy"! Her long silky white hair came accompanied by shiny yellow-gold eyes that resembled two blazing suns, her face was flawless and youthful, with a refreshing and pleasant smile. Her expression was that of endless compassion to all her children… she wore a priestess attire and held a long golden staff infused with many divine materials.

She was the one known as the Holy Mother by the Paladins, Heroes, and other Gods, she was the governor of the Empire of Heavenly Tears and also a strong candidate to the next Supreme Goddess… She was named Agatha, the Great Goddess of Birth and Wisdom, who directly served the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin, much like Ova.

Her beautiful appearance and holy presence were surprising even to other gods, and even the Great Gods found her very presence rather annoying by how shiny she was… And well, she and Ova didn't have a good relationship… despite serving the same Supreme Goddess.

Agatha was the one that commanded the entire Holy Empire of Heavenly Tears, and she used her power to bring immense amounts of miracles… And even more, as the Great Goddess of Birth and Wisdom, she possessed outstanding powers that no other Gods had to such an extent!

She also possessed other great powers and abilities… but these were only used in war, and any war, no matter the odds, always ended in the overwhelming victory of Agatha. Despite her delicate appearance, her power was truly terrifying, even more as she was already at Rank 8 of the Great God Realm, only a few steps before becoming Supreme!

And the fourth Great God in here was a rather unlikely one, one that was both mysterious and abhorred, he resembled a giant lion with four heads, his fur was azure-blue, and his eyes flashed with bright azure light, resembling nebulas. He had an arc of stars and space around his neck, and several spheres containing small stars floated over him like a crown… His presence unlike the other three Gods was immense due to his gigantic size, although he had reduced it to be around 30 meters, he was usually bigger than 200…

He was Leoganz, the Great God of Spatial Doors, who directly served the Supreme God of Space and Creation, Lucifer!

Of course, all of the people her knew that he served an invader from another world, but this invader was still a Supreme God at the end… so they usually didn't speak over it.

This Great God was mysterious, although he was a God-designed into this Realm, he b?r?ly interacted with other Gods and was mostly on his own. He didn't have any subordinate God either or was completely alone. It was a mystery why was he put in this Realm, to begin with, but it was a Great God at Rank 6 nonetheless, so he was respected by everyone.

His Divinity gave him the amazing power to create doors everywhere he wanted, he could easily escape from any place and go to another, his doors were spread all across the entire world, and he was able to also bring others with him. His power was also useful in battle, as he could open doors in the bodies of his enemies, and also use his own power and beast-like strength to suppress them. A god with the power to use space was very rare, and a Great God even more… he was amongst the strongest of them all!

As the meeting started, the Great Gods began to discuss what was going to happen now, and their next course of actions, starting with Jupiter.

"I am glad to see all of you gathered here today. It has been some time since we had a big meeting with everyone here…" said Jupiter politely.

"I would rather see you go to the point, Jupiter," said Ova.

"Oh my, already in a hurry? Don't worry, I don't think anyone is waiting for you at home, Ova," chuckled Agatha.

Ova's eyes squinted as she glanced at the detestable great goddess.

"Jupiter, what is the meaning of this meeting?" asked Leoganz.

"I am glad you asked, Leoganz. This meeting has been arranged by me with the permission of my lord, the Supreme God of Star Ocean… What we must discuss today is… well, I bet all of you already know about her, right? Our fifth member in the Realm…" said Jupiter.

The Gods immediately realized who Jupiter was talking about, as they all had mixed expressions.

Ova seemed neutral, although there was some anger in her eyes not caused by Agatha against Kireina, as she suddenly recalled that she had "stolen" her children and their mortal beast-kin some months ago…

"Oh, that detestable monster… I can't believe it became a Great Goddess…" sighed Ova.

Meanwhile, Agatha smiled. She was smiling and not angered… Her smile was not pleasant but… sadistic to an extent, as if by hearing the name "Kireina" she felt an instinctual d?s?r? to crush that being and laugh at it… indeed, she has been planning her demise for a long time, but everything had gone downhill since then, and things had escalated to this point, where she was almost in the same position as her…

"Someone told me about the commotion she did in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop… That demon is truly fascinating. So? Shall we slaughter it together? I am willing to bring my children," said Agatha, she only d?s?r?d to kill Kireina above everything else!

Meanwhile, Leoganz seemed expressionless… he knew about Kireina yet didn't care about her particularly… or did he? It was a mystery.

"Kireina… An interesting being… My lord has taken a liking to her. I do wonder if I should participate in this or not?" wondered the four-headed lion. Unlike his lord, he was not a demon from the gates of hell, but a being born in this world, who had been raised to godhood by himself and joined Lucifer's space god pantheon. He was later on ?ssigned to this realm.

Jupiter seemed to smile.

"Indeed, it is Kireina… the otherworldly demon that became a Great Goddess in less than a year from being reborn in Genesis… The self-proclaimed Mother Great Goddess of Love… Now that it has come to this. Her plans are most likely the takeover of the entire Realm, and that means that she will come after us. After all, we are on the way to her goals," said Jupiter.

"Will the other Supremes take action? My lord seems to have no interest in the matter," said Leoganz.

Ova and Agatha looked at each other and sighed.

"Our lady doesn't seem to want to interfere either… I don't really know why she wouldn't want to defeat a being that is constantly destroying the life she loves so much…" said Ova.

"Indeed, it is truly a mystery… Or is it? Perhaps this is a trial!" said Agatha.

"A trial…" muttered Leoganz.

"My lord hasn't interfered either, but he seems eager to use the Heroes we have nurtured… And as we are no one to defy our lords, we shall do as they say and do whatever is within our power, without asking them for ?ssistance," said Jupiter.

"Well, she just became a Great Goddess. I doubt she stands a chance against all of us," said Ova.

"Hm… Do you think so~? We better do our best if you don't want to get eaten, Ova, fufu…" chuckled Agatha.
