Regardless, Orion felt a heavy weight being lifted from his heart, a wave of relief washing through his body upon finally having answered one of his most troublesome questions.
"But that isn't all," Aegis of the Arctic Deity continued. "You see, after their futile attempts, the blame was placed on Naka. With the disappearance of the 'Nine Greed Gods', the 'Seven Great Gods' shifted their attention to the only remaining threat. With Naka present, humanity could not reclaim the earth and return to its former glory."
'Unable to sit back any longer, the 'Seven Great Gods' challenged Naka with a proposed deal: if they lost, they would pick a territory and allow the human race to prosper there, leaving the rest for the other races. However, if they won, they would return, along with the gods, to the world they had come from, allowing humans to reclaim all their territories."
"However, as though history was trying to repeat itself, the 'Seven Great Gods' launched a covert attack on Naka with the single aim of eliminating him," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said, sighing deeply for the umpteenth time.
He could remember the event as though it was yesterday, and considering the stakes of that battle, it might as well be one of the memories he would never forget.
"So, who won?" Orion asked, now understanding why neither side of the 'Nine Greed Gods' and the 'Seven Great Gods' had emerged victorious in their battle against each other. He was very curious to know who emerged victorious in the battle of Naka against all the 'Seven Great Gods.'
Although he had his doubts, Orion patiently awaited Aegis of the Arctic Deity's response.
"Unfortunately, I am afraid that I do not yet know the answer to that," Aegis of the Arctic Deity responded, his ancient voice resonating across the space.
Hearing Aegis of the Arctic Deity's response, Orion's expression instantly morphed into a deep frown.
"I don't know who won because, unfortunately, I cannot remember anything that happened during that battle," Aegis of the Arctic Deity responded, exhaling deeply. "The one thing I do know is that something or someone during that battle caused the emergence of the Vylkr vines, plunging the world into the mess it is today."
Every hair on Orion's body stood on end. He couldn't even correctly gulp down as he absorbed Aegis of the Arctic Deity's last sentence.
So that was how the Vylkr vines had appeared?
Although Orion didn't know what had caused the emergence of the Vylkr vines, he had always viewed them as something strange yet special. But, hearing that they were most likely the aftereffects of a battle between seven manmade gods and a god of unknown origins made him understand that it was much more special and stranger than he had expected.
"That is all I can remember about Naka and the events that led up until now," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said.
Orion exhaled deeply, nodding in understanding at Aegis of the Arctic Deity's words.
Although he could sense that there were still missing pieces of information, he also felt that Aegis of the Arctic Deity was deliberately hiding something.
Despite this, he decided to make do with what he had received and continue asking the rest of the troublesome questions on his mind.
"Do you have anything else that you want to a--"Aegis of the Arctic Deity began, but just as he was about to complete his sentence, a voice suddenly resonated in the air, interrupting him.
Aerialia, who had been waiting silently all this time, suddenly opened her mouth and spoke. "Is everything thou hast just spoken true?"
She suppressed the rising and falling emotions within her chest, narrowing her eyes at the giant golden pair, trying to grasp the reality of the events she had just heard.
Even though she found it hard to believe, the fact that she was here now proved that the god in front of her might be telling the truth, as all these things had happened when they had settled down within this world.
"Goddess Aerialia, former goddess of the shining light. A goddess who went to extremes to save her children, consuming the Divine Mysteries of the goddess of the forge and the god of hunt and slaughter, dimming her once-shining light to become the goddess of the hunting moon. It's a pleasure to finally see you after such a long time," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said, his eyes focused on Aerialia.
"Do I know you?" Aerialia asked, furrowing her brows in deep thought as she pondered whether she had met the god in front of her before.
"No, you don't know me. However, I have made it my business to know about the gods who went against all the odds and managed to secure one of the stellar gates for themselves and their children. Congratulations on making it into this new world, goddess Aerialia, the goddess of the hunting moon," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said.
Aerialia didn't receive Aegis of the Arctic Deity's congratulations with open arms; instead, she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Who art thou, and how didst thou end up in this manner?"?she asked.
Orion kept his ears perked, eager to hear Aegis of the Arctic Deity's response, especially considering he had left that part out during his explanation.
"I am sorry, goddess Aerialia, but that is information I am not ready to share right now," Aegis of the Arctic Deity replied, exhaling deeply.
Aerialia frowned.
Orion exhaled in disappointment. Somehow, he had a feeling that Aegis of the Arctic Deity wouldn't answer that question, or else he would have explained who he was when he narrated the previous events.
"As long as there hath been no enmity between us in the past, I honestly care not whether thou chooseth to reveal thy identity or not. But regardless, I would very much like to know if everything thou hast just spoken is the truth,"?Aerialia said as she stared fiercely at the large pair of golden eyes.
