Agatheina and Levana discussed the news about Kireina and her plans of raising her strength by asking about a piece of the demigods' souls.
Morpheus had already been saved by Kireina, his children were now safe and their future looked to be bright, she had already done a lot for him, and he didn't even doubt about taking a large piece of his soul, even if it weakened him greatly, the gratefulness that he felt was immense and such pain was bearable if it could be used to help his greatest benefactor.
"If I can help her out to get stronger, without a doubt, please… ugh…! Here, take it" said Morpheus, revealing his soul and then mercilessly cutting a piece by using the Life Attribute Technique 'Living Soul Division'. Because it was made by a Technique specifically used to cut a soul into pieces, it didn't cause as much pain, it was bearable to a certain extent.
Maeralya and Marnet saw as their older brother did a painful act without a sheer of a doubt, his resolve was clear on his emerald eyes.
Due to this resolve, they understood that Kireina was someone important and special and that such thing as asking for a piece of their souls was not something crazy considering these factors.
"I shall give her a piece when her task is finished, alongside my Dungeon and if she so desires, my body," said Marnet, the Demigod of Canine Beastmen, which included Fox, Wolf, Dog, and others beastmen races.
"The same for me, as long as she does it, I won't doubt about giving her what she wants" added Maeralya, the Demigoddess of Feline Beastmen, which included Black Cats, Tigers, Lions, Jaguars, and other beastmen races.
Levana and Agatheina had already expected such a response, and Kireina had also expected it, but their consent was what they were fearing it would not be as they thought.
Agatheina then transferred the large Elixir made by Morpheus's Soul Fragment to Kireina's Item Box.
"I'm glad that you were able to understand…" said Levana.
"And don't worry! Kireina-sama had already expected such a response from you two, so rest assured! She will exceptionally complete your task and receive her deserved prizes, you two better not back down by then, fufu" said Agatheina, giving the two beast gods a mischievous smile.
"We won't take back our words, Agatheina…" muttered Maeralya.
"Yeah… Sigh, I still can't get used to this Vampire being with us now" muttered Marnet.
"Big brother, please be more respectful, it's my grandmother…" said Levana.
"I get that, Levana! Sigh, I was just expressing my thoughts, it's not like I want to kick her out or something, I don't think I can either, she's a Goddess and I am a Demigod, there is a lot of strength difference" said Marnet.
"At the very least you can understand your position in here, Marnet~," said Agatheina, teasingly.
The Wolf Beastmen-like Marnet seemed to be always teased by Agatheina, even though he was a demigod himself, he seems to have a very low temperament and lack of common sense in certain areas.
Aside from Maeralya and Marnet, there were a dozen others Beast Demigods, siblings or Morpheus, that were patiently awaiting Kireina's assistance, each one had their own troubles and were doing their best to hold them before their new 'savior' and 'hero' could go and help their children.
Kireina will have a remarkably busy schedule. But even though there are a lot of problems in the world, she is patient and cunning, and she builds countless trump cards in her Empire while creating bonds with the gods and strengthening herself and her family.
But right now, she decided to take some days off and relax, because life is not enjoyable if you do not have time to rest from every roller coaster that happens.
Though even in her relaxing days she finds herself constantly doing things that would seem as too incredible and crazy for other mortals, her everyday life may seem normal to her by now, but to others, it is too insane to understand.
Running an Empire of Monsters and Demi-Humans, playing with life and death while evolving humans… eating God's souls as if they were snacks, opening Legendary Reward Chests as if they were just something that she had barely remembered about.
The Beast Gods were truly fascinated by her existence and that of her family.
And other Gods saw her existence not just as fascinating but as dangerous and menacing to them and plotted against her in every way possible.
Meanwhile, other gods recognized her irregularity but decided to not take any direct action against her, supporting their respective Champions.
The Constellation Pantheon were not the only ones who thought like this.
The Pantheon of Dragon Gods that inhabited in the Realm of Vida was rather small compared to other Gods Pantheons.
This is mostly because the originally large group separated itself into several factions. A large group went to the Realm of Vida, but as time went by, it separated into smaller groups due to differences between the Gods.
Some other Gods betrayed others and fought each other while others decided to escape to their Divine Realms to not risk their lives anymore.
The Wyvern God of Strength and the Wyvern Goddess of Nature alongside another Living Deity Dragons had separated themselves from the original Pantheon of Dragon Gods from the Realm of Vida, as they had blessed certain individuals that conflicted with the blessed champions from their companions.
The original Dragon God Pantheon in the Realm of Vida were strong allies with the Central Continent Pantheons, such as the Constellation Pantheon, the Life, and Origin Pantheon, and the Fate and Destiny Pantheon. However, when some Wyvern Gods began to bless their brethren instead of human or demi-human heroes, they were glared with scorn by their allies.
The Relationships between Dragon Gods used to be very strong, similar to the Beast demigods, as their leader and mother, Tiamat, the Great Dragoness Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood had taken care of them all, but after several disputes, they had to separate as she became busier by administrating several other Realms.
Disputes, fights, and even assassinations happened between siblings, some Dragon Gods were corrupted, while others desired the war and destruction of the past, their different divinities drive them to seek the wars that they desired, and the conflicting interest led them to kill each other, some were greedier than others, while others were pacifist, desiring lives of tranquility, just like any other gods.
The largest group that remained within the Realm of Vida glanced at their new Champion. A survivor from the Athetosea Kingdom of the border continent.
David Armand used to be part of a greater group, where several gods had blessed them… but they quickly died and their blessings were stolen, the only group of gods with their Champion still alive was the Dragon Gods.
Due to their connection with the Pantheons such as the Constellation Pantheon, they had managed to obtain important information about Kireina, the one who caused everything to go downhill with the Great Epic of the Athetosea Kingdom, which was destined to join forces with the Central Continents and slay the Demon Kingdom of Thanatos and defeat the Realm Menaces of Greed, Lust, and Wrath.
Yet… the Realm of Lust, against fate, destroyed such predictions, massacred the Kingdom's heroes, ate them, and enslaved the rest of the people.
And her feats did not stop with this, she did not stop for a year or two to see what to do next. She immediately went and conquered a Dungeon, stole it by using a Skill that no gods knew about, and made a Loner God, the God of Sand, and Earth Omgramid fall into a Fallen God.
And not much after that, she stopped the Vampire's plans, defeated them all, damaged the Goddess Agatheina, and saved the Centaur Kingdom, becoming allies with Morpheus and its siblings, and then Agatheina became her ally as well, by some strange motives that they couldn't even comprehend.
And as if things were not even more ridiculous, she ate a Demon Demigod as a mortal and munched on Apollo's soul when he tried to revoke his blessing from his Champion, who had been brainwashed by the demon daughter.
"This is… too much" muttered a large, red-colored dragon, with twelve crimson eyes and six scaled wings, he had a large red orb on his chest, as he stood up on two legs, he had two arms which ended in long claws made out of red jewels.
"Will David even stand a chance against such a ridiculous monster?" asked another dragon, who had the body of a long sea snake, covered in blue scales, with five blue eyes and several blue jewels encrusted on its body, he had large gills and fins and a long jaw filled with sharp teeth, resembling a barracuda.
"Well, David is not alone in this, he has his party, we should bless them as well…" said a large, fatty dragon, covered in golden scales, he had a large belly and he seemed to be resting in the ground, barely moving its small arms and wings.
"I suppose you're right, brother… but didn't you know? Her entire family is also blessed by other Pantheon of Gods… it's not like by blessing his party, he'll get some kind of special advantage" said the sea snake-like dragon.
"Should we nurture him enough and then descend into his body?" asked a smaller dragon, his front limbs were made into wings, and he had two heads, each one only had one large pink-colored eye, his scales were purple and he had a venomous needle at the tip of its long tail.
"That… would be too risky, it's not like we hold any particular grudges against her in the first place, our champion was not killed, and our blessings were not stolen. We shouldn't try to kill her because it would be 'beneficial', because it won't be, it would be suicide, leave that to the other foolish gods" said the red dragon.
"Then, you mean that we should leave David to do as he pleases and if he wants to kill her, that he should try if he really wants to, but to not get involved by ourselves?" asked the purple dragon with two heads.
"Yes" nodded the red dragon.
The fatty dragon laughed.
"Well, that's good, I don't really want to get involved in this stupid affair anyways," it said.
"For now, we should guide him so he can rescue our children, that would be beneficial for us," said the sea snake-like dragon.
"Indeed, that does seem like an actual problem… I do not really get why those Gods such as Apollo, Zeus, or Athena wants to kill that monster so badly. We are Gods, we live for eternity, we should not really care about our champions dying from time to time. They go to wars anyways, death should be expected from mortals," analyzed the two-headed purple dragon.
"Yeah… if she's such a big problem why don't they just wait for her to die of old age? Sigh" muttered the fatty, yellow-colored dragon.
"Then what should we do about the two Wyvern Gods? The ones that blessed the Wyverns that serve the monster" said the red dragon.
"I don't get why they escaped from us, we are not into killing each other, that would be detrimental for us," said the two-headed purple dragon.
"I guess they expected that from us because of our siblings who did the same, it's not like we communicated as much with them and their Living Deity children," said the sea serpent-like dragon, while grimacing his attitude towards the two Wyvern Gods.
"Agh… don't bring those disgraces! To think that some even did negotiations with Demon Gods…" shouted the yellow and fat dragon.
"Well, it's not like Demon Gods aren't in a similar situation to us, you should be more open-minded about other races, after all, we are all monsters by the central continent gods… I feel rather conflicted that we had been blessing humans instead of our children for so many years," said the two-headed purple dragon.
"I can't say that I don't feel the same… but we have to survive, those gods would most likely hunt us for materials or something if we weren't their allies," said the red dragon.
"Sigh… when will our mother come back? She had been in those other Realms for an eternity!" said the yellow and fat dragon.
"We don't need our mother for everything… and she's taking care of our other siblings. I heard that that foolish Hydra is doing something stupid again" said the sea snake-like dragon.
"Okay, I've noticed how no one talks about this, but I will bring the topic… Wouldn't it be better for us to join the other Gods who blessed the monster, and also the beast demigods? They seem to be sticking together very well," said the two-headed purple dragon.
"What?"
"Don't start this again"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious. Our children are in a similar predicament that the beastmen mortals after all, and our crazed siblings who had become Demon Dragon Gods at this point keep messing around with everything. The Central Continent may be run by Supreme Gods, but they barely do anything! They're taking care of multiple Realms, they won't care about us disappearing one day, especially in how much they hate non-human gods"
"But…"
"Don't you understand? All of us are monsters and subhuman for those human gods, we should join with other monsters instead of sticking and licking the toes of humans! They slaughter our children all the time."
"You mean that… all monster gods should join into a greater Pantheon to confront the Central Continent? But there isn't any Supreme God backing us! And the Great Gods that are monsters aren't even here! And I hope that you don't mean that the Demons should join us as well?!" said the red dragon.
"Calm down, brother. It is just my opinion on the subject. I just… don't like these human gods, they are all up for human supremacy, and I am not eating any of that crap, I am a dragon god for fucks sake" said the two-headed purple dragon.
"Hmm… I wonder what our mother would say about this?" wondered the yellow and fat dragon.
"Our mother had always been a pacifist, but she always knew when to take important decisions," said the sea serpent-like dragon.
"But we are already backing David, who will soon join that Isaac, who is a direct Champion of the Supreme God of Star Oceans!" shouted the red dragon.
"Can't we make it, so he gets friendly with the monster?" asked the yellow and fat dragon.
"What are you talking about? Its obvious that he holds a grudge against her!" shouted the red dragon.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"What…? Wait, are you actually considering joining the other gods?! But why would we even bless David then!" shouted the red dragon, bewildered.
"Knowing the boy, I don't think he would join the Central Continent anyways, not even Isaac likes them, according to some information," said the yellow and fat dragon.
"So just because of irregular, all of your hearts are now filled with hope and are willing to betray the human gods' pantheons?! Are out of your mind?! There is much that that monster can accomplish, but I don't think she will ever go above what she had already accomplished. Until then, I won't change my mind" said the red dragon, crossing his arms.
"Okay, but you don't have to be so grumpy," said the yellow and fat dragon.
"We'll see… if she keeps doing amazing things… I hope you don't take back what you said just now" said the sea serpent-like dragon.
"Well then, I hope the best for her!" shouted the two-headed purple dragon, disappearing into its Divine Realm.
"Sigh…" muttered the yellow and fat dragon and the sea serpent-like dragon.
These four dragons were the only ones that were part of the 'largest' Dragon God Pantheon, just four, they were originally six, including the two Wyvern Gods that blessed Titus and Eshne, children of the Wyvern Overlord of the Grand Forest.
And before that, they were a rather large Pantheon, being over ten, but the others were exiled by betrayals, others were killed, and others joined the Demon Gods or became Lone Gods.
The remaining Dragons in such small Pantheon were Brulzrayn, The Dragon God of Blazing Breath, Qondress, the Dragon God of Sea Snakes and Waves, Nymbais, the Dragon God of Harvest and Feasts, and Othairth, the Dragon Goddess of Poisonous Eyes.
David was completely unaware that Gods were currently using him as such a topic of discussion. He only cared about growing stronger and getting somewhere in life… going through the trials given to him by his Epic was one of them. But even him grimaced if it could even be possible to assert revenge against those that took his wives and friend from him.
Would it be better to just accept that life is as it is, and try to live in peace?
Should he really get involved with the world and its disputes? The wars and it is future?
For now, he only just wanted to grow stronger to protect his sisters, parents, and servants.
Interestingly enough, it was the same goal that Kireina strived for.
Meanwhile, as Agatheina and Morpheus group discussed their next course of actions, two Wyvern Gods were trying to contact them through the 'Interdimensional Shop' Skill that most Gods have to sell materials, by leaving a small message in Morpheus's shop.
