Chapter 2020 Council of the Gods of Life and Death
"I will leave my right to vote and speak to the other mediator, Equinox." Levin Cloud stated as he could no longer take the relentless barrage of the gods of life.
"Thank you, Levin Cloud. Let us proceed to the urgent matter at hand since we are already wasting time just speaking. Let us proceed to voting the matter at hand. The God Dagon wants to join the ranks of the gods of life and death." Adrian stated.
Adrian already made sure to give his best friend the needed details and Levin Cloud made his situation known. It seems that the gods of life are incredibly exhausting to talk to. Levin Cloud is not really one to easily deal with beings with strong characters as he is calmer and more collected. Although, his calmness is sometimes used by others in the wrong way, and they think that he is a pushover.
"Objection! He is not a god related to life or death!" One of the gods of life stated as some of them commented as well.
"I think it is good to remind all of you that the God Dagon is the Father of the Deep Ones. He is a god that has created a legitimate species in this world hence he has the capability of a god of life. He is eligible to join the ranks and he is more useful compared to those of you that are here." Adrian stated which enraged some of the gods of life.
"What do you mean! We are more useful than a dark god!" One of the gods of life stated.
"What I meant to say is that he can actually defend the mortal realm since he has a body already tied there. Unlike all of you that has yet to choose a champion or an envoy, the God Dagon is much more useful to matters relating the mortal realm. He made sure that the area he is in is lush with life and I am sure that all of you can sense that. Am I wrong?" Adrian stated.
Adrian is a bit mad at the gods and goddesses of life because they are incredibly lazy compared to the gods of death. They rarely make any appearance or miracles happen even if a lot of people pray to them. They only take action when a being they created or fancied is in trouble which they would let Levin Cloud do the action needed. Levin Cloud could not refuse their demands since he is the mediator of life.
The gods of life thought that they could control Levin Cloud, but they did not know that he was also calculating what he needs to have them under him. Levin Cloud has accomplished some tasks given by the gods of life. The rewards for this are a pact of obedience that Levin Cloud can use when the time comes. He made sure that this is the case since they will basically fuse different worlds that needs the help of the gods of life and death.
Only a few gods of death have reached out to Adrian because they know of the consequences. The gods of death must know the laws of death in absolute which is why they are strict and disciplined even if some of them do not look like it. The gods of death know to read between the lines and even the fine line. They will not ask for Adrian's help unless they are in such a difficult situation.
"Since this is a council formed with the gods of life and death, I shall ask the gods of death on where they stand." Adrian stated before the other gods of life could say anything anymore.
"The gods of death are fully backing whatever decision the Mediator of Death needs. All of us have already agreed to this as it is the Mediator that knows more of what is happening in the mortal realm." The God of Death Hades stated as he also made sure to attend the council.
Adrian did not expect that all of the gods of death would side with him as he knows that some are afraid of him. Nether energy is an energy that even the gods of death are wary about, but they actually support Adrian fully because they have seen his exemplary work in Limbo. The gods of death favor a good work ethic more than a potential fear that might never come true.
"All of you actually bowed down to a being that is not even a god!" One of the unruly gods of life shouted which he then noticed that he was too blunt, but other unruly or lazy gods of life are in agreement.
"Well, if all of you were good at your job then the Twin Gods might have given you the positions instead of pushing it onto me. Dealing with all of you is a problem and a headache for me." Adrian stated in a blunt way that made the gods of death laugh.
The gods of death actually laughed at what Adrian said because they partly know that it is true. The gods of death may be competent in their roles, but they know that there are issues in their death realms. They do not have the capacity to become the mediator which is why the God of Death Abaddon did not appoint any of them. The gods of death are already busy with their own troubles unlike the gods of life that have become somewhat lazy.
Not all of the gods of life have become lazy as there are ones that are diligent, but they are a minority. The number of beings being born is actually lower compared to those that are dying by the day which is why Levin Cloud called some of the gods of life lazy. Adrian is not the one that called them lazy, but it was his best friend when he asked about the status of the gods of life.
"Anyways, we must go for the vote as we are wasting time already and I am busy. I already have the half number of votes as the gods of death are in favor of my decision to add the God Dagon. What do the gods of life vote for?" Adrian stated.
"We reject!" The unruly gods of life stated.
"We accept." The diligent gods of life headed by the Goddess of Life Freyja stated.
Adrian smiled upon seeing the vote of the other gods of life as the unruly ones suddenly glared at the group that the Goddess of Life Freyja headed. The group that the Goddess Freyja leads are not only the Vanir gods as there were other gods and goddesses of life as well. There are also some gods of life that opted to not vote but Adrian did not care about them.
"We have the majority vote which means that the God Dagon will join the ranks of the Gods of Life." Adrian stated.
"We object!" The unruly gods of life shouted.
"You cannot object as the voting is already put to a close. Unlike some of you, the gods of death need to return to their duties that they do wonderfully if I may add." Adrian stated.
"A direct seat to the council is something that we will not wholeheartedly agree! If you continue to do this then we will abandon our jobs!" One of the unruly gods of life shouted.
"Is that so? You actually dare to say that in front of the mediator? Do you wish to spend some time in Tartarus because that can be arranged." Adrian stated as his nether energy suddenly peaked in the area which made all of the gods uncomfortable.
"Maybe we can accept the God Dagon when he is fully accepted by the world. He is yet to be instated as a God of Pandemonium since he is still labeled as a dark god." The Goddess Freyja stated as she wanted to find a way out for the unruly gods of life that suddenly felt threatened.
"I can at least agree to that arrangement. Since he is already a candidate, a small totem can be arranged in the Church of the Twin Gods. Does anyone have a problem with that?" Adrian stated but no gods actually dared to rebuke him.
"Since we already have a concession, the God Dagon will join the ranks of the gods of life upon being recognized by the world. Thank you for your time." Adrian stated as he ended the council with most of the votes in his favor.
The gods of life and death left as well as they no longer want to remain in the same space as Adrian. The area where the council is held is a divine space where Adrian and Levin Cloud's authority is absolute which is why all the gods can do is speak. The fact that it only took a small amount of time is quite a shock since it usually takes days to even have majority of the gods agree.
