Chapter 826 - Side Chapter: Azuma Empire And Zeus

-----

As the Dragon G.o.ds finished their grotesque meal, they began to feel an exhilarating new power surge through their new bodies, and immediately after, they devoured the Divinity Devouring Crystals they bought, acquiring Lesser Uroboros and Divinity Devouring!

However, as they already had Divinity Devouring beforehand after having taken over the Living Deity bodies who had already acquired the Skill beforehand after eating Divine Beasts while still being mortal.

"Hm? The Level of… Divinity Devouring increased by one…" said Blaire, or Brulzrayn.

"You are right… Could this be due to us already having Divinity Devouring?" asked Leonia, or Qondress.

"Indeed. It must be. But it is not like we discovered this, right? The world is vast, I could bet that someone in Genesis already discovered this or many," said Kaze, or Nymbais.

"I would bet the same, brother. Most likely, we are not the only ones… However, the prize of these Crystals… can we afford any more than what we already got? Leveling up our Divinity Devouring is good, but we could also train the Skill itself… If we buy more than three more crystals, we might as well go broke on resources, and it will take a few hundreds of years to get all the divine energy crystals back through natural creation," sighed Qondress.

"Yeah, I suppose it is not really something we can afford any longer… Even as G.o.ds, we still have problems such as economical problems, what a pitiful existence…" sighed Nymbais.

"That's right! For now, let us train our Skills and Powers, and let us adapt our vessel's powers with our own. The powerful curse left by Zudig inside of Blaire's soul has evolved and become something of new power by itself, which connects me to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d… I can feel that he is still alive, somewhere… If he is really in the Lower Realm, we need to prepare to join Zeus and invade them! We'll crush Kireina as well, while we are there, eating such a being would do us good," said Brulzrayn.

"Indeed… Kireina is also the one at fault for s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g David so much… But now that things are as we know, we might as well get her off our path with the help of all of Zeus' family!" laughed Qondress.

"And Zudig too, we will tear his soul apart and eat him while he screams in agony!" laughed Nymbais.

"With our new strength and Zeus' help, we will be unstoppable!" declared Brulzrayn.

A beautiful city made out of medieval j.a.panese era-styled buildings rested peacefully below a starry night, surrounded by large forests of cherry blossom trees, whose pink petals were slowly being carried by the wind around the city.

Most citizens of the Azuma Empire were now sleeping, their days were always busy, attending their crops, shops, working hard, hunting, cooperating, working inside factories, and more.

Within the largest building of the Empire, in the center of the large and beautiful city, a giant j.a.panese castle was erected, where most of the Imperial Family of Azuma lived and where an incredibly important meeting was taking place.

After the death of one of their beloved Heroes, Izumi Yuko, the Heroine of Alchemy, by the hands of the malevolent Realm Menace of l.u.s.t, Kireina, the Empire has been working relentlessly to figure out new ways to fight against her.

However, after working so hard, very few things came to their mind, and even after having managed to chase down Kireina's soldiers that were still wandering around the Empire, the Heroes and the Empress suddenly were contacted by a Divine Voice, bringing new hope to their hearts.

The Divine Voice called itself Zeus, the G.o.d of Thunder, which also came with a feminine divine voice, Athena, the G.o.ddess of Wisdom.

They were not names they were used to.

Especially because the G.o.ds they often prayed to, the G.o.ddess of Cherry Blossoms, and the G.o.d of the Rising Sun were nowhere to be seen…

The shrine maidens of the Empire would sometimes, every one hundred years, receive some kind of oracle from these two G.o.ds… but now, they had mysteriously disappeared, and been replaced by these new and strange G.o.ds.

The truth, however, was that the G.o.ddess of Cherry Blossoms and the G.o.d of the Rising Sun were not really G.o.ds but DemiG.o.ds, and after being visited by Zeus and Athena alongside their family, these G.o.ds were extorted into joining their group if they did not want to get captured and possibly used as materials by the strong and resourceful family of G.o.ds.

The DemiG.o.ddess of Cherry Blossoms and the DemiG.o.d of the Rising Sun than had to give up their Empire and serve Zeus and Athena, giving up the place they had nurtured for so long together, the Empire of Azuma that they were so proud of…

Gritting their teeth in frustration, the DemiG.o.ds served Zeus and Athena, as they used their special connection with the Imperial Family of Azuma to let Zeus and Athena directly speak with the Empress and the surviving Heroes, revealing their new plans to defeat Kireina to them.

Since then, many months had gone by, and the world had changed a lot.

Many things had happened, and Kireina had achieved a lot, more than these Heroes and the Empress could have ever imagined…

However, they, themselves, had also grown stronger.

Thanks to the Zeus' family teachings, powers, resources, and more, the Heroes and the Empress were nurtured similarly to how the Dragon G.o.ds did with David's allies, making their souls evolve through special concoctions, items, and artifacts that only they could get, managing to awaken the Heroes innate strengths and powers, and then, letting them rise to G.o.dhood after their souls were nurtured to Pseudo-Divine levels and their Epics completely awakened into Legendary-Cla.s.s.

However, unlike the Dragons, the Zeus Family was very resourceful and helped the Living Deities raise through the Ranks of G.o.dhood, even more, showing immense generosity, until they were to finally be… ripe to harvest.

After having learned the ways of Zudig, the G.o.ds perfectioned his methods of nurturing a Mortal with an Epic Skill, letting them awaken it to Legendary and then making them forcefully eat Divine Materials, while using their own powers to maintain their lives until they finally managed to acquire Divinity Devouring.

It took a long time though, and if fate was laughing at Zeus and his family efforts, the Divinity Devouring Crystals emerged in the Interdimensional Shop…

However, the G.o.ds only felt like this was a plus, the efforts they used were not wasted at all!

Especially the Zeus family, who were incredibly resourceful and probably the richest G.o.d family in the Realm of Vida that did not have a Great G.o.d backing them.

And it was not as if they would not soon have one, as Zeus, their father, was soon to reach the peak of Rank 9 of the G.o.d Realm, and be able to reach Great G.o.d Rank!

However, he needed a little push, and these nurtured Epic-wielding mortals that were raised into G.o.ds were good enough materials!

Zeus and his family discovered that they were not good enough to walk on land even after having Divinity Devouring.

Simply having the skill did not make their souls immune to the miasma that corrupted it all.

The real secret behind becoming similar to Kireina was to have a Chaotic Soul!

And interestingly enough, Zeus and his family had helped Kinesis achieve such power through resources, as long as he gave them his research results back.

And as his transformation into a Chaotic Soul wielder was a success, the resources spent in helping Kinesis achieve his goals were worth it, even if he was ultimately defeated and eaten by Kireina afterward!

Now, the Empress of Azuma, Sugita Masami Azuma, had become a Rank 1 G.o.ddess with the t.i.tle of Phoenix G.o.ddess of Blazing Wings.

Yos.h.i.+naga Hiros.h.i.+, the Hero of One Hundred Slices who had become the Rank 1 G.o.d with the t.i.tle of G.o.d of One Hundred Slices.

Mihara Hideaki, known as the Hero of Brilliant Poems, had become a Rank 1 G.o.d with the t.i.tle of G.o.d of Inspiring Words and Brilliant Poems.

And Sakura Miwa, known as the Heroine of Sakura Storms, who had become a Rank 1 G.o.ddess with the t.i.tle of G.o.ddess of Sakura Winds, all kneeled before the glorious projections of their greatest benefactors, Zeus, and Athena.

Thanks to making the entire castle a Divine s.p.a.ce, they were able to exist within it without being affected by the Miasma, but even then, their souls were already slowly evolving into Chaotic Souls, and were already ripened to be harvested!

Unaware of this, the glorious G.o.ddess and empress of Azuma greeted her G.o.d.

"Zeus-sama, we had been eagerly waiting for your visit… Could it be finally time to annihilate Kireina?" asked the Empress with fervent devotion to Zeus, who had already bedded her several times behind her husband, making her a slave of his manly libido.

Sugita Masami released an aura of divine flames as her enamored eyes glanced at the manly and muscular man with a long beard, as he caressed her thin chin while admiring her doll-like beauty… Zeus had made of such a respected and serious woman into a complete s.e.x slave, her mind only had a devotion to him now, and any former pride she once had was now thrown out of the window.

"Indeed. The time is ripe, my dear Sugita. Soon enough, we shall avenge my son's death and annihilate Kireina… Even though her rise to G.o.dhood had been slightly inconvenient, the amount of power and troops that I and the rest of my children are slowly acc.u.mulating will be enough to completely crush her, no matter how much she grows in this little window of time… However, all of you are also ready, isn't it?" asked Zeus.

"I believe that you had finally cultivated your souls into Chaotic Souls, the process we started since you were mortals, is it?" asked Athena at Zeus' side.

"That's right, my lady. Our souls had finally achieved the mutation required to channel the Chaos Attribute, and we had become partially Chaos Attribute G.o.ds too. We might be capable of walking through the natural miasma of the world now. And we believe that we can even a.s.similate it and make our own bodies adapt to it as well," said Mihara Hideaki, the former prideful and gentle Poet of Azuma, who had greatly changed after so many events, and ultimately becoming the lover of Athena herself, who had similar talents to her father despite her usual serious demeanor.

And similarly to her father with Sugita Masami, Athena made of Mihara her s.e.x slave as well, enslaved to her body and l.u.s.tful desires inserted on his mind since he was a mortal, he had become entrained with her love to the point of a state similar to brainwas.h.i.+ng…

He had gladly become a living recipient for the experiments of her lover and her father, going through the pain of mutating his own soul into a Chaotic Soul without doubting for a single second…

"Our Chaotic Souls had adapted correctly to our Divinities, and we simply need to practice our newly acquired powers to combine them with the ones we already possess to achieve a greater power, my beloved master…" said Sakura Miwa, who, similarly to Sugita Masami, had been brainwashed by Zeus' l.u.s.t, bedded countless times by the l.u.s.tful and depraved G.o.d until she became a slave to his libido.

"We believe that we can reach the power you require in a few more days, until then, it would be good if we could join your Divine Realms and train diligently at our lord's side," said Yos.h.i.+naga Hiros.h.i.+, a former old man that now looked rather youthful after becoming a G.o.d, who was also a slave to Athena's unexpected bed techniques.

"Good… All of you had worked so diligently… I believe it would be a good reward to let them in, right, father?" asked Athena with a mischievous smile.

"Indeed, we might as well let them train at our sides, so we can always have them to let some steam off whenever we feel like," said Zeus with a degenerate grin, glaring at the beautiful women in front of him…

The two G.o.ds then generated portals where they let the former mortals enter their Divine Realms, where they delved into hours of pa.s.sionate mating with them for entertainment purposes…

However, completely unaware of this, Athena let a demon in disguise enter her Divine Realm, as Mihara's eyes often glowed crimson red as he pa.s.sionately penetrated the tight and wet p.u.s.s.y of the G.o.ddess of wisdom.

The Azuma Empire had only been made believe that they dealt with Kireina…

Especially because Slime Clones of her roamed the city for many months, and eventually, they managed to parasitize all of the Heroes and even the Empress!

However, such Parasite Slime Clones were independent and had even made Kireina think they were dead so they could not be detected by detection and future sight abilities that the G.o.ds possessed.

Without a connection with Kireina, they couldn't connect these creatures with her, and never realized the enormous mistakes they committed!

It was only at this very day when they had finally managed to cultivate Chaotic Souls that they let Kireina know about such a tremendous surprise!

Kireina opened her crimson eyes in the middle of the night, as she slept while being surrounded by her nude wives.

"Oh my… What an unexpected yet welcomed surprise… Fufu, my Slime Clones are just as mischievous as me, I suppose… Uegh, although it gives me a bit of disgust that they would go as far as having s.e.x with Zeus, I guess they are not me anymore, so I don't have to care about that…" she sighed.

Although they achieved a lot, they had to self-sacrifice a lot too…

But it was all for this very moment…

"Now, they just left to lay low for now and become these G.o.ds "puppets" only for them to be betrayed in the last moment! Without realizing it, it seems that I am already controlling part of their destiny through my threads… I guess this power can also work automatically… I simply have to adjust this and this and… perfect… By changing the threads of fate a bit more, I can increase the chances for the best possible outcome! …However, there are still chances for it to fail, so preparations will be needed…" thought Kireina.
