Sitting above the clouds as soft as feathers, Alex's eyes peered through the heaven with an inexplicable expression. Gentle winds brushing past his cheek carried an aura of solace and warmth.
The peace that one experiences here was addictive. Once one gets experienced it might be harder for that person to go back to normal.
"It's so peaceful here so why can't the living beings live without fighting one another."Alex sighed.
"It's the inherent nature of the world, Alex. Everyone had certain desires and everyone had some greed. As long as greed exists conflict is bound to exist."Hestia murmured sitting beside Alex.
"Why is Father staying in the soul form? Wouldn't it be better for him to become a God?"Alex asked curiously.
"It's because he did not want to. Becoming God had also a limitation. If he becomes a God, his level would be determined by the merits he had performed for the world. And in doing so, his potential would be limited and he can't move forward."Hestia replied.
Alex frowned, feeling a bit weird he asked"Why is this bothering him? He is already dead. He just needs to relax and spend quality time with you.'
"Tsk! You don't know that guy."Hestia clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"He is sharpening his sword for the fight."
"What fight?''
"Against God of Darkness."
"What?"Alex shouted in confusion.
"He wants to fight him, why? Leave that guy to me?"Alex spoke in disbelief.
"It's because I wanted to take part in the war."
Alex and Hestia turned their gaze towards Kevin.
Seeing those cold eyes, Alex could feel the resentment hidden in them.
"That bastard had made me suffer so much. Even if I don't cut him down. At the very least, I wanted to fight against his army and trample over them and piss him off."Kevin snorted.
"This father duo son is the same in some aspects."Hestia held her head.
"So, what are you planning now? How are you going to fight in this state?"
"Before dying, I had condensed an avatar of mine. It can be used one time. I will be using that fight after which I will retire peacefully here."Kevin replied solemnly.
Alex pondered for a moment and said"That's also good. We need as many hands as possible. That bastard seems to have bred a huge army."
Before Alex did not even know who this guy was nor did he have any personal enmity with this guy. However, after all that happened if Alex doesn't cut him into pieces he can't live peacefully.
Previously, he guessed that the God Of Darkness had full control of the Darkness realm which increased his strength but this incident had left him speechless. This guy was daring enough to sacrifice his realm just to destroy a portion of the Light realm without giving a damn about his realm.
"Creating a realm is not easy. Since he sacrificed his whole realm it means he had other resources and that might be much larger than this."
Hearing Alex's words, Kevin gave Hestia a profound gaze. Even he did not know about this much. He was not that powerful to track the God Of Darkness movement.
Hestia heaved in sight and narrated"This is something we discovered late. After we defeated the God Of Darkness in War aeons ago, his physical body disappeared. All the traces of him vanished from this word. So, we thought he had died or become dormant. Later when we found that a part of his soul had been reborn as a man in our Light Realm, after defeating him we tried to trace him using a part of his soul."
Hestia paused a little for a moment.
"It was then, we discovered that he had fled to another world beyond ours. I sent an avatar to that world and there was a fight between us. That world wasn't able to bear such a large-scale fight and collapsed and the God Of Darkness fled. After that, we did not have any encounters until now. All of these are the remnants of his will. He just had personally appeared right now to take away the Devil. I was surprised to see him at Half Step God King Level. It seems he had devoured a lot of worlds."
Alex's expression faltered upon hearing her words. A sense of weariness flashed over his heart and he clenched his fist tightly. It seems the situation was much more dire than one could imagine.
Alex immediately stood up startling Hestia and Kevin.
"I have wasted enough time here. I should get back to work. Riya's soul is currently undergoing hibernation in the soul pool while her body is still in the process of being crafted. I'll take a look over hell in the meantime."
"I will see you."
Giving Hestia and Kevin a gentle bow, Alex's figure disappeared.
"Kids grow up fast," Kevin spoke with a sigh.
"Eh!" Hestia nodded. Her heart wrenched a bit seeing Alex going back. She wanted to spend more time with him alas.
"I shouldn't have started this serious conversation."
...........
The current hell was a thousand times different from the previous ones. If the Devil saw this, he would have a heart attack and beat the shit out of Alex by screaming that this was the den of sinners, not a playground.
Along with the dead soul and deceased, living creatures of various species line up to undergo a harsh strenuous exercise in Hell.
The Hell's Judgment and its purgatory that was used to burn the sinners had turned into a tourist spot of a blacksmith and body refiners.
Alex had declared that the sins of those who trapped her would be forgiven if they took part in the upcoming war.
They need numbers and not just any numbers. They need quality soldiers that could uphold the line against the God of Darkness realm troops.
Nodding in satisfaction, seeing everyone's progress, Alex stepped into the Throne room.
Stepping inside, he saw his ordinal body slumbering peacefully. Although his original body was in hibernation without no one to control it, still if anyone attacked it, his body would react to the attacks due to muscle memory and instinct engraved in it.
Alex's original body which had been lying in a dazed state suddenly opened its eyes emitting a reddish hue across the hall that startled Alex.
"What the hell?"
