Chapter 398 gods and demons
"Those demons are already giving me a headache and now even those small gods are talking about me. How troublesome." He spat without minding the woman who was clinging to him.
"Didn't you love fighting?" Aseyas asked as she moved beside the man and took a seat. She then rested her head on his shoulder as she waited for his response.
"Of course, I like fighting but these days those demons keep bringing more and more strong minions that my heroes couldn't deal with them that easily. They are really testing my patience." Freyon was clearly annoyed. If there was one thing that the gods couldn't do, that was to descend to the worlds that were created for them.
They could only share their power with the heroes they chose and could possess them but this would only kill the heroes. Human bodies were not designed to carry that much power from a god. Freyon could only choose several heroes to deal with the demons.
"Do you want me to lend you a hand?" the goddess of water asked after contemplating for a while. Aseyas had nothing to do and her world was peaceful most of the time.
For the next few years, the worlds became a battlefield for the heroes and gods. The unending battle continued to change the worlds forever. Everything became a boring routine for both sides. Heroes were born here and there to face demons and save humanity. Demons continued to breed and cause destruction.
And that incident happened because after a long time, the gods lost interest. They started to share their power to just anyone and left the people on their own. It started as an unreasonable misunderstanding between the followers of the god of war and the followers of the god of wisdom.
The misunderstanding grew bigger until it became the reason why the followers were killing each other and justifying it as some act that the gods told them to do. The demons took this chance and started to influence these followers. Raiding started to happen and they were only caught up with it.
Cygnus and Elara were just caught up within it. He thought that they were finally able to live a peaceful life and away from the people who destroyed their life and killed their family. Now he was left alone.
Cygnus knew that the demons had a hand in it but he was angrier with the gods who did not care. This was the reason why he did not reject the demon's offer. His beloved sister was dead and now there was nothing he could lose.
"Are you sure with your decision, young man?" The man asked Cygnus who was kneeling before his sister's grave.
"Yes," was his resolute answer. He had nothing to lose and he felt that this was the only way to abate what he was currently feeling inside. If he needed to destroy the world, then he would do so.
He stood up and gave the grave one final look before he turned around. Cygnus gave the man who had taken care of him and his sister for a while before giving him a nod. The man did his best to change Cygnus's decision but that was the extent of his power.
The chaos of the world began after Cygnus stepped out and actively sought them all out. He started by roaming the current world where he was for the remnants of the people who were following the god of war. He killed them one by one and displayed their bodies for everyone to see.
He did not stop there as he also started to hunt those who follow the different gods. He would also sometimes kill those wandering demons that wanted to fight or stop him. He was on a killing spree and he did not care if there were innocent people getting caught up with his revenge.
As the days, months and years passed, he did not stop. He had no chance to stop as he earned the nickname Demon of Slaughter. He scoured that world until he returned to Amarilyo and bid the man goodbye. That was the start of his travel to other worlds.
His feat during his time in that world did not escape the notice of the gods. The gods looked with gritted teeth as Cygnus went on a rampage. Even the heroes they sent to deal with him were all defeated. They pursued him through the worlds and did not let him rest.
While all of that was happening, the gods were also looking for the identity of the demon who made a contract with him. Based on the power and range of abilities he acquired, they could surmise that the demon behind him was of a higher rank.
"We can't just let that guy go as he is! We need to kill him!" Raged the goddess of beauty roared. Her world was destroyed because of Cygnus and now the number of her followers dwindled.
"That's what you get for fancying that damn abomination." The god of war commented with his hands crossed on his chest. He gave the goddess a smirk.
The goddess of beauty frowned and glared at the man. "I don't care. I want that man gone before he destroys all the other worlds. Are you really going to let him be?" She looked around and saw them averting their gazes and whispering to each other.
Some of them hadn't experienced what she had to go through. Their worlds were safe and she couldn't help but be frustrated because of their reaction. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as their whispers and gazes became more and more annoying in her eyes.
"Let's see if all of you would still be smiling if that man destroys your world. I hope he does so that your arrogance will disappear." She stood straight and gave them all a smirk.
The other gods couldn't help but gasp at her statement. They couldn't believe that she would be able to say those words. After the initial surprise, the gods started to frown at her. They knew the consequence of losing a world but the other shouldn't have said those words because she looked like she was cursing them.
"Enough," a deep voice interfered and calmed the heating atmosphere. All eyes looked towards the door and saw someone they hadn't seen for a very long time.
"You are back, Kreyat!" The god of war stood up and went to hug the other. Amongst the gods, he was the one who was closest to the god of creation.
"Yes," Kreyat patted the others back before sweeping a look at the gods who were gathered in that room.
Freyon backed away and gestured for the god to take a seat. He then returned to his seat to wait for a good show. Now that the god of creation was back, everything will be alright once again and they would be able to plan their next move.
"You are finally here!" The goddess of beauty exclaimed and they could all see the sparkle in her eyes as she looked at the god of creation.
They all knew that Kreyat was a handsome man, with his cold demeanor and clear eyes, anyone who would see him would definitely fall in love. This time the goddess of beauty was no exception. She was a new god and only encountered the god of creation when he gave her a world she would manage and yet she was already head over heels for him.
"Yes, I needed to end my seclusion as the news reached me. Indeed, we need to deal with him but we also need to know who amongst the high ranked demons made a contract with him. After that we can formulate a plan to kill him." Kreyat looked around him and saw that all of them were in agreement with him.
