Blade of the Goddess-Chapter 229

"Okay, after hearing all of that. I agree with Luminera on this one. Like, it makes sense to keep them around. Why throw away such a valuable weapon when threats like foreign gods exist?"

"Oh, Zion, if only things were that simple." Erebosa turned to Luminera. "Tell him the rest."

"The sentinels were a success. They managed to kill foreign gods, while my sister and I were able to create the world we wanted. However, things took a turn when a new type of god arrived on our world."

"A new type of god?" Zion asked

"That’s right. You see, a god can be born or created. For example, my sister and I were born gods, but if you keep on the path you are on now, you’ll eventually become a god yourself. Once you do, you’ll be connected to the will of the world, and if you have followers, then your power will rise."

Erebosa continued the story. "But there is another type of god. One that not only broke away from the will of the world, but also doesn’t rely on faith to empower itself. They are called Titans."

’What is this? Greek Mythology?’

"How strong are these Titans?" Zion asked

The sisters looked at each other.

"You see, Zion. When you reach a certain level of power, you can control something called Authorities. I’m sure Lilith told you about them, right?"

He nodded. "Yeah."

"Well, the difference between a mortal and a god using an Authority is night and day. Gods have Authority over mortal Authorities. But there is one step above that. It’s called a Law."

"A law?"

"That’s right. Titans use laws. Laws are the forces that make up the universe. Law of Time, Law of Space, Law of Energy, Law of Destruction, Law of Creation, Law of Souls, and Law of Fate. These seven laws are the forces of the universe. And if Titan masters all seven of them, they gain access to what’s called Primordial Forces."

"A primordial force? What is that? A supreme Law or something."

Erebosa couldn’t help but chuckle. "Pretty much. The forces are Chaos, Order, Life, and Death. At that point, they stop being a titan and become a Primordial."

It took a minute for all of that information to sink in for Zion. By this point in time, he was used to Gods, Devils, angels, demons, other races, reincarnation, and the lot, but now, learning about how vast the universe is made him feel small, insignificant. It made him feel weak.

"That...That’s a lot to take in." He took a seat, taking a minute to catch his breath.

"Back to my main point. The sentinels were useless against Titans. And we thought our world was lost. But surprisingly, a being came to our rescue, a primordial. She told us that the world we ruled over was one of the worlds she created and didn’t like seeing it taken over by some foreign god. So she helped us out. After that moment, she put a barrier around the world to prevent intruders."

"So that’s when you were supposed to destroy the sentinels, I’m guessing?" Zion asked

Luminera shook her head. "No, not yet. Millions of years later, the demon wars break out. Erebodsa and I sent out the sentenels to stop them from killing each other, but instead of enacting our will, they just slaughtered everyone. Demon, angel, human, dragon, anyone. After that moment, we shut them down permanently."

"Or so she said." Erebosa scoffed.

Luminera looked down in shame. "After that moment, we created the other gods and devils to help maintain balance across the worlds. In secret, I merged the Sentinels into one force and bound them with a failsafe spell—one that would awaken if any single world faced destruction while the others remained untouched. But not long after, my sister and I were overthrown... and the Sentinels fell into the hands of the angels. Or more precisely—"

"Karyndra."

"That’s right. Now, since you single-handedly destroyed parts of the upper world while the demon and middle worlds remained untouched, the sentinels will activate."

"Wait, wait, wait! That’s fucking stupid. The angels are in a civil war right now, and their strongest angel is way stronger than me. The destruction they’ll cause would be far greater than what I could ever do at my level."

"I programmed the spell to only activate if another species that wasn’t native to the world causes a certain amount of destruction," Luminera confessed.

"You fucking stupid bitch! Fuck! You’re so stupid! Why didn’t you tell me this before?! And don’t give me that ’you didn’t need to know’ bullshut! Fuck! This is pissing me off!"

"Hey! It was you who recklessly charged into the angelic world and caused a bunch of destruction." Luminera shouted back

"Oh wow! So I’m at fault for KILLING MY ENEMIES?! Think about that in your stupid god brain for a second. The angels aren’t on your side. They attacked me and are working with the demons. They are an obstacle. Any smart person would know that crippling your enemy is the right thing to do, but now I’m being punished because of your stupidity? Fuck outta here man!"

"No, no, he has a point, Lumi. I even told you to destroy them. Instead, you merged them together and created two super powered god killing machines."

"Still! This doesn’t give you the right to yell and insult me! I’m a goddess!"

Zoin scoffed. "Some fucking goddess you are! It’s not even the fact that you didn’t listen to your sister, I get that. It’s the fact that you didn’t tell me about any of this. You know, I thought my journey would be simple. Grab relics, get strong, fight gods. But noooooooo! I have to fight demons, uncover plots, take over the world, go to demon world, take that shit over too, get the angels to fuck off, then face the gods after getting strong enough. But news flash, I cant get rid of the angels or demons because my fucking patron goddess decided it would be nice to LEAVE OUT VITAL FUCKING INFORMATION!"

Everyone let a few minutes go by, allowing Zion to cool off.

"So what now?" Luminera asked.

Zion nodded. "Go back to your heavenly space, get strong, and hope you can face your own creations. As I stand, I’m too weak to do so. Plus, I have other things to do. Lets just hope they don’t come after me right now, because if they do, then we’re fucked."

"Is there any way to know what the angels are up to? A way to monitor the upper world? Do you still have that power, Lumi?"

"No. The other gods have blocked me from viewing it, and I’m not at my full strength yet to overpower them."

"Here." Zion slashed at the air, splitting space, and a crack opened, which led to the upper world. "I connected my fracture to the place while I was there. Since you have full control over this place, you can travel between them as well now. I’m going back home. I have three more kingdoms to conquer."
