Adrian opened his eyes and is shocked to see that he was suddenly in another place. This is a very familiar place to him even though he only been here a few times. It was none other than the divine realm called Paraiso.
"It seems that your wish is too strong that it has brought you to this very realm, young one." A melodious and beautiful voice stated as Adrian looked back to see a beautiful woman that exuded the grace and love of a mother.
"I greet the goddess!" Adrian stated as he bowed but he also noticed something about the goddess.
"It seems even your eyes could see the state that I am in." The Goddess Gaea stated as she smiled.
==
Name: Gaea
Title: [Goddess of Life] [Mother of Pandemonium]
Status: Weakened
==
"Why are you weakened?!" Adrian asked with great concern as the goddess was fine when he last saw her.
"A lot of troublesome things are happening all at the same time because of the impatient gods that were vanished. The world itself is fine but my brother and I have been delaying the merge with all that we got. The strain of making sure that nothing falls apart has been quite taxing even for me, but you did not come here for that. Let me see the young one that I need to bless." The Goddess Gaea stated as called Adrian over.
"If you are weakened, I would rather have a subordinate god of yours to give the blessing. I must not weaken the goddess further than this." Adrian stated as he was worried.
"Teehee… for my champion to worry about me is such a refreshing feeling but this has already been set in stone. My brother and I are the pillars of this universe and even we are required to sleep for some time. All I ask in return is that you will look after the world when we are in slumber but that will not happen immediately. You will know when we are going to slumber so, please prepare for that." The Goddess Gaea stated.
"If you utilized the faith that you have collected then you would be able to regain your strength." Adrian stated.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "I can but I will not do that. All that beautiful energy will be sent back to my beautiful children. My brother and I set it up like that so they will still have blessings even if we go to slumber." The Goddess Gaea stated as she gave a warm smile.
Adrian did not debate anymore as he the goddess has already given her ultimatum. She might be talking like a loving and caring mother, but she has already set her sights in stone. The Goddess Gaea then used her powers to call for the pearl that is Dodu as she sprinkled it with a golden glow.
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has been blessed by the Goddess Gaea.]
"I have given my blessing to this child. Make sure that it grows healthy or else I will curse you even in my sleep." The Goddess Gaea stated as she returned Dodu back to Adrian.
"Is there anything else I could do to help both of you to get your strength back?" Adrian asked as he is their champion after all.
"You cannot stop what has already been in motion. All you have to do is to make sure that nothing breaks anymore. Remember that you are our champion, and you are the representative of our might. You do not have to worry too much as slumber does not mean that we are totally inactive. The Tree of Life and Death will also aid you and give you guidance when you are lost. Goodbye for now, my champion." The Goddess Gaea stated as she waved her hands to send Adrian's soul back to his body.
"You could have at least let me greet him, sister." The God Abaddon stated as he just appeared.
"If he sees you in your current state then he might worry too much and not do what he needs to do. It is now our time to fulfill the covenant of protecting this beautiful world." The Goddess Gaea stated.
"Indeed. To think that the seed of chaos that we have planted became this bright and complex. Are you ready, my sister? If I am not wrong, we only have at most a year before we have to truly sleep." The God Abaddon stated.
"I am ready because Yewdrassil will make sure that our followers are in the right path while we sleep in its arms once more. We must arrange everything that we need to do so that we do not go to sleep with worries." The Goddess Gaea stated.
"Both of you do not need to worry because I shall make sure that the universe will not break. I have already spread my roots to the mortal realm due to the champion and envoy." Yewdrassil stated as its branches moved.
The Twin Gods then removed the veil that was covering Paraiso to show the large expanse of worlds that are colliding. All of the fractured worlds are hurtling back into the main world because of the movement of the gods. The Twin Gods need to make sure that the integration of the worlds is smooth so that the world will not experience space quakes.
The Twin Gods do not know how this happened all of a sudden, but they have known it was happening at the background. They did not know why all of the worlds are wanting to merge back but they have deduced that this is the work of powerful dark gods. They might have given the exiled gods some ideas to trigger such an event.
"Now then brother, does your sword still crave to punish disobedient children?" The Goddess Gaea asked.
"It always craved for that, sister. Remember to always protect me with your shield and no harm shall come my way." The God Abaddon stated as the Twin Gods flew upwards to fix the colliding worlds.
