With just a swing of his staff, the rift that was created by the magic circle vanished and the Temple of the Moon is no longer visible. The followers of Apophis are all shocked with what happened because they needed to use a lot of their mana to cast such a complex magic formation. They even needed the assistance of their patron god just to fully stabilize the magic formation, but it was destroyed by the floating human beings with one swipe of his staff.
"You wish to talk yet you do not want to invite me to your house?" The Distorted God Apophis stated as she acted a bit dismayed.
The God Thoth frowned but he did not answer the question presented to him. He just waved his hands once again and a floating veranda suddenly appeared in the sky. The God Thoth and the Distorted God Apophis went to the veranda created by the former as there was a golden mat laid down.
The God Thoth has already fused with his vessel as well and he was even first compared to the Distorted God Apophis. Even the Distorted God Apophis knew that she cannot win against the God Thoth even if she were to sacrifice her followers. The story would be different if she were fused with all of her fragments, but she was not.
The God Thoth has the appearance of a well-built teenager wearing a golden Ibis headdress. The color of his eyes is amber in color which matched well with his sun kissed skin. He had the aura of a great and wise person which makes it seem that he was older than what might think.
"What do you wish for rampaging about in the western continent? You have sacrificed a lot of lives just to collect the pieces of yourself that was scattered. You were not like this when we were back in our old universe. You have become the gods that you have despised. Has the corruption truly taken over your mind?" The God Thoth stated.
"You are saying that I am corrupted when I can see very clearly. I needed more power for what is to come to this world. Only when I am a Supreme shall I be able to protect us all on what is to come. What if I touched the forbidden energy source that the void gives? Even the first protectors of this world have done so as well." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
The God Thoth was speechless when the Distorted God Apophis actually used a logical argument against him. He thought that the Apophis that he knew was no more which is why he was prepared to fight and destroy him there. The God Thoth started to re-evaluate the Distorted God Apophis that is in front of him.
"He might have been corrupted but I can clearly see that there are still the duties that a god there. Still, this is not even a discussion because the corruption has already changed the way she thinks. Even the vessel that she has now is not fully taken over because of an interference." The God Thoth thought.
"Then answer me truthfully and make a pledge with your divinity on the line." The God Thoth stated as he wanted to see what the Distorted God Apophis truly wants.
One might call it lingering attachments as any other god from the western continent would not hear out the Distorted God Apophis. The God Thoth is curious, and he does not care what happens in the surroundings when he is curious. He wanted to see what a Distorted God that some recollection of its sanity has will truly do.
"I swear." The Distorted God Apophis stated as she suddenly slashed her chest with divine energy.
There was now a cross scar on the Distorted God Apophis' chest that was created using divine energy. If she were to utter a lie, then the scar would react, and parts of her divine energy would vanish. The Distorted God Apophis was really serious in getting her parts back even if she was to sacrifice her divine energy.
"Tell me… why are you really trying to takeover the western continent? You have destroyed lots of human lives and even evoked the monsters to be on your side." The God Thoth asked.
"Before that… let me tell you something that will inevitably happen. Did you know that the gods are now moving, and the gods of Pandemonium are no longer in full control?" The Distorted God Apophis stated as she smiled which made the God Thoth curious.
The Distorted God Apophis mentioned that a lot of gods are now moving because they could sense the great disturbance. The universe of Pandemonium has started to leak out energy onto the divine realms as the hold of the barrier is weakening. A faction of the gods has already started their plans while the Twin Gods cannot support everything all alone.
The Twin Gods cannot easily move because the realms of life and death should always be maintained or else everything collapses. One of the factors why the Distorted God Apophis know of the realm instability is the fact that the Twin Gods has chosen a champion. Those two only move when a major event will happen, and they even created a champion to an Asmodian bloodline.
Asmodians should not be alive during this era and only traces of them should remain but there is one being that is almost a pure one. The being that is also almost an Asmodian just happens to be the Champion of the Twin Gods as well. This does not happen with pure coincidence but because the Twin Gods willed it.
The Twin Gods sacrificed a lot of their divinity to make sure that they create a spark of hope. This is also the reason why the two are not always active. They were probably busy doing something else which is why they have delegated their tasks to other gods. The Twin Gods were aware of something that the other gods might have also learned.
"The crazed distorted gods and dark gods will not find this universe because it has been fractured. It is also the reason why this world that should have been extremely large is now only a tenth of its size. Even the bridges between worlds have been destroyed. The Nordic gods might have thought this as blasphemous which is why they were willing to help you." The God Thoth stated as he analyzed the Distorted God Apophis' words.
"You are correct that they are helping me because they want a way to the mortal realm. Once I gather all my fragments, I will be able to increase this world's restriction to that of a greater god. I do not care what they want because I only want to become great leader of the Ennead. They are just aiding me by helping themselves." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
"You wish to become our leader because of a threat that you are saying that will come. What can you do to assure us that you are not the threat?" The God Thoth asked.
"I am not the threat as you can see that I even embraced the gods that have joined me. I have not laid a finger on any of the gods in the western continent. I am just letting them have a taste of what will happen when I am not at the peak." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
The Distorted God Apophis is basically treating this whole ordeal as a way to train the people of the western continent of what is to happen in the future that she could see. The world itself will return back to its original state as the Asmodians that fractured it and created the divine barrier are no longer alive to maintain it.
The fractured world will return to become Pangea once more and it was the world that the Ennead arrived at. A world where all sorts of races coexisted and the super planet that is connected to other worlds as well. The core of the Pandemonium universe is the world of Pangea itself.
The God Thoth could not say anything about what the Distorted God Apophis stated as even he could see the evidence that the world is returning back to its original state. He is sure that the return to the original world would have taken a few centuries more, but the gods accelerated the process due to their interference.
"I have answered all your question truthfully without a hint of lie. You are even using your divine eye to see if I am lying. I will gladly accept the part of myself that you are keeping if you do not mind." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
"I have heard of your reasoning, but I also need to see what the leader of the Ennead has to say as well." The God Thoth stated as a golden gate suddenly appeared next to them.
