A question that not only made the players shudder but also the Anubis Warriors. The Goddess Magwayen might have asked nonchalantly but there was some truth in what she said. She could actually make Adrian a god of death is he accepts the proposal.
"I can make you a god of death as easy as a snap of my finger. There will be some effect on the laws of the world but that is nothing for a primordial being like me. The price to pay for a lesser god to appear would be easy for me to bear." The Goddess Magwayen stated as she looked at Adrian dearly.
"I thank the goddess for the offer, but I will have to decline." Adrian stated as he bowed to the goddess so that she will not be angry.
"I was just asking you but if you do not want to then you do not need to be pressured." The Goddess Magwayen stated as she was not offended that she was refused by Adrian which made the Anubis Warriors sigh with relief.
The Anubis Warriors were afraid that the Goddess Magwayen would become mad at them and suddenly drown all of them in the waters of the underworld. It is said that the rivers in the underworld all come from a source and that source is none other than the goddess herself. She was a primordial because she was the collective source of all the rivers in the underworld.
Adrian also refused the offer because becoming a god due to a Primordial God is not a simple process as the Goddess Magwayen says. It might be simple process to her, but Adrian would have to endure a hundred days of torture as the essence of the Primordial Goddess Magwayen permeates his body. Not only will he lose his body and all his strength due to becoming a being close to the patron god, but he will also lose everything he worked hard for.
"I thank the goddess for the offer once more, but we have pressing matters to attend to right now. The souls of the children need to be sent to the underworld while this special barrier is present or else, they will vanish. I want them to pass on to the afterlife and be reborn to a fuller life than what they have experienced." Adrian stated as he felt pity for the children since they were not even able to reach a decade in the mortal realm before becoming sacrificed.
"Do not worry, little one. I have already started the process as soon as I was summoned. I just like chatting with you because it has been a long time since we met. You do know that time moves differently in my realm." The Goddess Magwayen stated as the spirit of the children were already being treated by her.
As soon as the Goddess Magwayen was called, a faintly glowing liquid has already tended to the spirits that were extremely faint. Once they were touched by this special liquid, the spirit of the children became fuller as some of their features became clearer. A weakened spirit would usually have some of their features vanish due to their own essence being used to keep them from vanishing.
The small child spirits that looked like mannequins are now looking livelier as if they have returned back to life. The smiles and energy that the spirits have actually doubled as if they have returned back to life. The meek and calm child spirits earlier are now playing with the other children as soon as they were healed.
The Goddess Magwayen could be clearly seen smiling under her veil, but no one really knows as her face is covered. Adrian knew that the Goddess Magwayen pitied the children the most as she was actually called a Mother Goddess back in the day. In fact, some of her legend say that she became a Goddess of Death due to wanting to see her deceased child.
Adrian once asked on how she came to be as she was one of the rarest gods of death that has two titles. She was both a Goddess of Death and the Goddess of the Sea. She was also a primordial which meant that she is almost as old as the Twin Gods. There are only a few primordial gods in Pandemonium as they were either sealed, killed, or did not care for followers.
Primordial Gods are one of the gods that do not need followers in order to become stronger. They also do not rely on faith as they were already deemed essential once they came to be. This is also the reason why the Goddess Magwayen would rather have numerous lesser death gods to deal with the affairs of mortals.
As soon as the all the spirits of the children were restored, the Goddess Magwayen raised her giant conch shell. The sound of the sea could suddenly be heard, and it started to rain as well. All the children spirit started to frolic in the rain as they enjoyed it because it was their baptism.
The Goddess Magwayen skipped the process for the children to go to Limbo as she welcomed them to her realm immediately. The Anubis Warriors wanted to say that it was not the correct process, but they cannot protest in front of the goddess. The Anubis Warriors would have to just work double time in recording the names of the children in their copy of the Book of the Dead.
"For the brave living souls that aided the poor innocent children, I shall bless you so that your hard work is not unrewarded. I shall also extend this blessing to those that have died as well."
[The Goddess Magwayen has blessed you for your sacrifice and heart. All the death penalties that you have gotten for the past two days will no longer be valid. For those that did not die, your next death penalty will not be applicable on your next death.]
[You have received a two times multiplier for your experience points for the next week. The experience multiplier will be three times for those that did not die.]
