Chapter 384 Chapter 376: Usher in a New Era
"A way to start facing the problem before it comes to find us..."
Bael and Lucifuge hummed some self-serving words in their slight shock as realization and the gravity of the situation dawned on them.
"Almost everyone in heaven knows of the matter, perhaps barring the angel you kept down with you, Eugene Hall. Dawn."
I nodded lightly.
"In a few days, we can challenge the last floor of the Sanctuary. But just taking the one before took me months and even when we all cleared it, we had to recover for three years."
Over God Yvas took the lead in the conversation now. "With your help, we might be able to do it—"
"I refuse," I intervened.
"You won't be much help any—"
As soon as I summoned some Cataclysm in my hands, the Over God shut up and glared at me.
"Watch it, Yvas," Framtida spoke too, coughing with every word. "I told you, in the futures, he is the one who destroyed and protected."
I clicked my tongue.
"Look, all that is good. It is what I was going to change things to anyway, but there's a more pressing issue."
The gods raised their brows.
So did my two companions.
"The demons, not just them, let everyone move in and out of each realm. But the demons specifically. You have a bigger problem to face, you can cover your strength issue that way."
The most important thing was to ensure that the demons that I was siding with could live like people instead of pigs in a slaughterhouse.
"This world has three realms for a reason, we'll be opening them all up," I said. "People can't accept change that easily, and that is not a problem, but they will never learn to accept it if there's no change. You either stop your slander of demons and stop this division of the realms..."
I snapped my fingers again and place the same communication device from yesterday on the table.
"Or we can talk in some other ways."
The gods crossed their arms while Bael and Lucifuge looked at me with teary eyes. They were scary.
Damn it.
It was almost like they thought I was fighting for them when that was the last thing I would do.
"Fine." Yvas hummed.
"We were thinking of it anyway," Vrede added.
I widened my eyes again and looked at them. They were thinking of it? And for what?
"It would have been impossible to handle most problems on our own in the first place, Eugene Hall," Framtida answered me as he looked at me. The old Over God was surprisingly even wiser than he let on. He could read even my expressions easily.
I turned toward the demons and grinned.
"What say, can you trust them?"
Bael and Lucifuge turned to the gods.
Then looked back at me.
"Fuck no."
"Never."
"Hey, what the hell?"
"We are being good and you do this."
The gods seemed to have taken offense, but it is what it is.
"They are letting you off easy," I said. "Reach me like that and I'll ask you to shove your own head in your ass, what do you think you're a god or something?"
Vrede looked to the sides and then nodded. "Yes, we do!"
"Narcs."
"You don't say! It's almost like our whole species is not fucking named gods I swear."
"Whatever, you!" I snapped. "We don't trust you guys, rightfully so. Thankfully, I know a good defensive measure."
"What...?" The gods asked, taking a step back.
I pointed at my lovely soul mate and nudged her ahead.
"There's an ancient Alfheim spell that will tie you to an oath, tried and tested."
It was the same thing that bound Lethe, me, and Anatolia together. With the spell, they wouldn't dare of anything funny.
"What..."
"It's simple. If you don't keep your oath, you die. And if any of the demons show any grand hostility or plan to take over the worlds, then these guys die."
Bael scoffed.
"You'll tie us to it?"
"The strongest should take the responsibility."
"Us too?" Asked Yvas and I nodded, exasperated.
I almost wanted to switch up the penalties. Make demons die for the gods and gods die for the demons and watch them stress over who would betray whom first, but that was for another time.
The two sides sighed and placed their hands on the table, all six of them. Framtida and Agares seemed to be enjoying this a lot.
"I'll leave you to it, Titania."
"It's going to cost you later."
I smiled at her words as she floated in front of the six. And in the next moment, a bright light started flashing.
That day.
The demons and Gods were tied to an oath.
"What's that sound?" Framtida asked.
I smiled and stood up.
I had made all the others that stayed back gather everyone. The angels and gods gathered thanks to Dawn, while the demons were all here as my cronies.
"Come along," I said as the others got up in bewilderment. I pushed the doors of the Pantheon building open, and outside stood all the demons, gods and angels standing together like a sea on the ground.
"Crazy kid..."
"You are not taking any chances, huh?"
I smirked at their words.
"A night only lasts twelve hours."
Bael and Yvas nodded and stepped ahead in front of everyone. All the beings outside quietened down when they saw their two leaders standing next to each other.
After a long silence.
Yvas grabbed Babel's hand and raised it high in the sky.
The silence lingered for a second as shock enveloped the audience.
Then, came the surprise and realization.
It all dawned on their heads.
And so began...
"O-OOOOOOH!!!!"
"F-freedom... we're all free!! We're free!!"
"Union! Union! Union!"
"Wait what, Union? Does it mean Lord Yvas is marrying lord Bael!?"
Oh, that was perfect fodder for the fujoshi angels. It seemed they would have to worry about a bigger issue for a while.
But all of it aside.
So began, a new era in the world.
The time before the outer gods would reach... was about eight months now.
