Chapter 436
by fanqienovelChapter 436: Punishment, the Days Keep Getting More Judge-Like
"How did things come to this!"
"Shouldn’t you be dealing with this!?"
"This is blasphemy!"
"Soon our demon gods will all be controlled by the Giant God!"
Gimmerly stomped her feet in frustration.
She wasn’t in her "Divine Body form" but projecting a mortal appearance; consequently, her bosom bounced with each stomp.
Though ample, Gimmerly’s display made Amon—whose own endowment was less remarkable—vein visibly pulse.
Sitting beside Gimmerly, he experienced the spectacle firsthand.
"Deal with what!"
"That’s the Giant God’s will!"
"And you—sit down!"
Amon seized Gimmerly’s bouncing bosom and hauled her back to her seat.
"Ouch!"
Gimmerly rubbed her chest, pouting at Amon before turning reproachful eyes toward her serene sister—the true leader of the "Giant God Association."
"Sister!"
"Won’t you speak up!"
Lady Xidi cast a light glance at her. "Oh? What would you have me say?"
"About the capability the Giant God gave mortals!"
"My cursed demon and Outer Gods from the Void report the Giant God grows reckless!"
"Creating false Divine Bodies for mortals, turning them into avatars to rival core councilors—that was bad enough."
"Now He arms mortals with weapons to destroy or cripple deities!"
"If this continues, what becomes of godhood!?"
"Sister! The Giant God’s gone this far, yet you still haven’t—"
Gimmerly choked back her words as Lady Xidi raised a slender finger to her lips, tilting her head with an elegant smile.
The graceful gesture commanded silence.
"Urk…"
Gimmerly reluctantly quieted.
Lady Xidi nodded approval, crimson lips parting.
"Gimmerly."
"I’m astonished."
"That this only occurred to you today."
"For us, it was no longer a secret that the Giant God transformed mortals and implanted them into divine bodies, enhancing deities’ repair capabilities and resisting the invasion of ‘ether micro divine rank’."
"Since the Giant God could strengthen deities through mortals, weakening or even killing deities through mortals wouldn’t be difficult."
"Or rather, since the capability exists, this would inevitably become the Giant God’s course of action."
"Shouldn’t these matters have been deduced long ago?"
"Why such shock today!?"
Gimmerly’s mouth fell open at her sister’s words.
"Ah…"
"You knew all along? Then why allow it!?"
"Our status as deities…"
"No—perhaps the Giant God intends to control us this way!"
"Mortals entering our bodies could aid us, but might stab us in the back anytime!"
"From now on, aren’t we… no different from the Giant God’s dogs!?"
As a deity wielding the "authority of the void," Gimmerly cherished freedom. Though indebted to the Giant God, she’d never trade liberty as repayment.
She believed the assembled deities would never willingly become dogs under the Giant God’s thumb!
Yet…
Amon flushed crimson, turning away while his plump thighs twisted restlessly.
"Hey! Why’re you blushing!?"
"I meant being the Giant God’s dog, not his bitch!"
Now his face burned even redder.
Baimeng tilted her head…
"Woof!?"
She tentatively barked in her squeaky loli voice.
Had Trilobite been present, he’d have thought:
_Jail time!_
_Life’s getting more jail-worthy by the day!_
"Goodness! What’s wrong with you all? My noble sister, don’t tell me you too—"
Lady Xidi maintained her elegant posture, sipping tea as if the Giant God’s "coercion" concerned her not.
Or perhaps…
she’d accepted it outright!?
Most outrageous was Lady Sotiko.
Ears sprouted atop her head; a wagging tail appeared behind her.
"Huff… huff… huff…"
Her tongue also stuck out, gaspping rapidly.
She even…
"Woof!"
A clear bark came from Miss Sotiko’s mouth.
"Hey! Don’t you have any shame!"
"I’ve had enough of you all!"
Gimmerly fell back into her seat, massaging her temples.
The veins there were throbbing, and her blood pressure was so high it felt like it could burst out.
"Calm down."
"Gimmerly, you need to understand one thing."
"I’m not supporting the Giant God because of His cunning or trickery."
"If that were the case, He would just be another Barbatos."
"That means nothing."
"It was the experiments He did on mortals and the miracles He achieved that made me decide to follow Him."
Her eyes shone with a captivating light, leaving Gimmerly dazzled.
"I feel that the Giant God not only wants to destroy the old order in the Chaos Swamp but also build a grand system for all beings, including mortals and gods!"
"I wonder what this new order will be."
"If it’s great enough…"
"Then what does being the Giant God’s dog matter?"
At that moment…
"Whoo—whoo—whoo—!"
The long alarm sound rang out.
That was the call of the First Demon God!
The Core Council of Chaos was about to hold an emergency meeting.
Right then…
"Uh…"
Morax, who had been sitting quietly nearby, suddenly covered his head.
A feeling that made him very alert and strangely familiar rose from his Soul!
"This is…"
"The repelling reaction of the same powers!?"
Powers represent "dominion" over a universe or sub-universe, but they aren’t unique.
Dominion can have multiple holders.
History has seen cases like "four emperors ruling together" and "two sages in attendance."
But the "king" who gains dominion usually wants to be the only ruler in the whole "universe," so they often repel each other naturally.
Unless two kings know each other well, respect one another, and don’t fear each other.
Though Baimeng and Shaks both have the power of "shallow Endless Ether," they’ve worked together for a long time and understand each other.
Also, Shaks isn’t a god who craves power, so they get along peacefully with Baimeng.
But this time was different.
The god who got the power clearly didn’t know Morax.
"Enough!"
"Don’t think about that now; we must go to the meeting."
At Lady Xidi’s urging, the "Giant God Association" members went back to the Chaos Council.
Soon, they met the new power holder.
And Barbatos watched proudly as tension rose between Morax and the newcomer.
He was even happier to see the very awkward look on Baimeng’s young face.
