Due to being in a hurry because they had already detected Bestellen preparing for something big some time ago, the split souls couldn't stay much time in the wondrous floating continent of Cosmos, however, they left a large outpost with spatial gates that led inside their divine realms, which could be used by anyone and it was strictly guarded by a few dozens of their own phantom and void clones, which were also exploring the dungeon alongside large teams of their allies to gain EXP passively.
They spent around 5 days in the continent, gaining enough EXP to level up around 10 times, but not enough to reach max level. If they dedicated themselves to keep fighting here, after a month or two, they might be able to reach level 100, but they were clearly not in the mood to sit and wait while Bestellen is brewing something.
After saying their goodbyes, the split souls teleported with the help of Aurora (formerly Kireina's clone), and went down into the Demon Continent once more, arriving at the closest place possible that could lead to the last Dark Gods that was registered within Aurora's memories.
The trip went smoothly, as the last Dark Gods were located all together, Razdall, Lamus, and Vedon! Meanwhile the whereabouts of Qadall completely unknown, but Zilmera had told them that Razdall would tell them where that grumpy skeleton was.
As they decided to go fast there, the people all around the continent were able to see an immense ship flying into the skies while groaning maliciously, many people had strange nightmares after seeing such a thing, mostly of phantom clones of the split souls guiding them through some dream.
In a bit over 3 days, the split souls finally arrived at the last place of their journey, the center of the demon continent, where Razdall, the God of Darkness and Sins, and his two siblings, Vedon and Lamus rested after the war!
Well, Vedon and Lamus had barely fought and were not particularly weak, so they were the ones maintaining the city, while Razdall, who had taken serious injuries, has been resting ever since things ended in the Ragnar?k.
It seemed that their arrival had been foreseen, as the moment they reached the beautiful Demon Kingdom, they were greeted by a powerful Progenitor Vampire of the "good" faction, and not the chaotic and insane ones.
It was a young and handsome man with white hair and sharp crimson-red eyes, he had lived for millions of years since the world was born as he was born from the ponds of origin blood and was perhaps one of the first ones that was born from them.
"Veronica and Ervas, right? My name is Alucard, it is a pleasure to meet all of you, my masters have talked a lot about you!" he laughed, he was quite youthful.
"Indeed, we are…" said Ervas.
"Nice to meet cha." Said Veronica.
"Haha! S-So casual… A-Anyways, here, please." Said Alucard. He had expected more of the beings that were as strong as Dark and Bright Gods, if not a bit stronger, but they were incredibly casual and rather straight to the point…
The split souls reached a large breach in space, and in a second, they emerged inside a large divine realm, resembling a world of darkness and caves.
Within it, three figures they had been waiting to finally meet for a long time emerged, greeting them with their immense sizes and terrifying appearances…
To the left, there was a large bird, a mix between a falcon and an owl, with a sharp golden beak and colorful feathers of azure, green, and yellow colors. And to the right, there was a gigantic octopus with a blue-colored skin covered by dots of yellow color, with flashing yellow eyes.
And lastly, in the middle between the two, an over one-kilometer-tall gargantuan titan with pale-white skin, enormous muscles bathed by scars, and two gigantic black chains covering his burly arms, long silvery-white hair, and sharp crimson-red eyes greeted them…
Their presences were strong.
"Oh my! Finally! You guys, I've always wanted to speak with you guys!" said Veronica.
"Eh? Ah…" muttered Vedon.
"We were trying to be more serious about this, but she seems quite casual." Said Lamus.
"Yeah, no need for formalities." Said Ervas.
"Phew… that's a relief. Nice to meet you two, I've been waiting you for a long time!" said Razdall, the Titan!
"Nice to meet the leader of the Dark Gods." Said Ervas.
"Yeah, you're pretty tall!" said Veronica.
"Hahaha! They tell me that a lot. Well, I was the father of the Titans, and their descendants, the giants! It is really nice to finally met with the heroes sent from the future, I am dying to know about you guys some more." Said Razdall.
"Us too. Our future selves were rather smart by sending you two back to the past… well, not exactly the past…" said Vedon.
"Ah, so you guys already know about the mirror Kritias and all? That will make it easier." Said Veronica.
"Indeed, let's start." Said Ervas.
The entire group quickly began to talk about many things, although the first thing that began were explanations, and what had happened to the future Kritias.
"So we lost!" said Razdall.
"Miserably so…" said Veronica.
"At the end, you defeated Bestellen too… So we had been parasitized for a long time from a demon god king fragment, the original one that had been born even before his official appearance?! This is insane…" muttered Vedon.
"But it finally makes sense why our brother shifted his character and personality out of nowhere… So Bestellen has been used like a puppet by this parasite this whole time! So frustrating…" sighed Lamus.
"Brother… I knew that he wasn't evil… Bestellen before all of this was always a nice and gentle god, he loved all life and ruled the world with justice, true justice… But the insane man he had become now… this isn't him… Perhaps the future version perished… But, if possible, I want to save this present version of my brother!" said Razdall.
Save Bestellen?! What would Veronica and Ervas think about this?
