BXBX NOVEL Chapter 425 - The Gods Become Active
The gods sent divine messages to their prophets to cease all hostilities with the Daemos. This was the first time some of the gods sent divine messages because they did not like to meddle too much in the affairs of their worshippers.
The gods let their worshippers have free will because it will cause stagnation if the gods themselves lead the people. The only reason that the Daemos became public enemy number one is due to the Church of Light and Church of Battalia advocating against them for centuries.
The church heads of the two major religions did not like what they heard from the prophets. The angels did not like the demons because they think they are unclean, but they are really just jealous of them.
The Church of Battalia where the gods of war are worshipped did not like demons because they are against the beauty of war. They have been taught that demons are just beings of utter destruction that does not conform with the natural beauty of battle.
Nevertheless, they were told to hold off on hostilities until they seal the dark god. The church leaders all reconvened in order for them to get a good idea on how to solve their problem. They gathered inside the holy city of Sanctus.
The faceless ones in the city have been purged thanks to the Evil Cleansing Light that all the priests cast. It was a barrier that reveals the true nature of an individual. The skill reveals falsehood of evil creatures like any illusion, polymorph, or transformation.
It does not affect the angels as they inhabit the body of the person instead of transforming into them. The angels deemed humans as too low for them to become. They inhabit a human\'s body out of necessity and the order of their goddess.
Each church leader is marching in the holy capital and cheers would erupt whenever they did. The people of the holy city believed that the whole continent would join forces to deal with the creature that the dark followers summoned.
It was not only the church leaders who were summoned but also kings and queens. The situation was too grave for them to not involve everyone in the central continent. Even the dragons that could not be bothered to attend any summit like these decided to attend because even they could not kill gods.
When the dragon\'s envoy walked, there was complete silence because they radiated an aura of strength that stifled the voices of the people of Sanctus. The people of Sanctus thought that the dragon envoy\'s group were the last to arrive, but they thought wrong.
A purplish magic circle soon appeared a few inches from the gates of the holy city. From the magic circle, the silhouette of six people could be seen. The citizens of the holy city could only feel both shock and terror upon seeing their figures.
The first one they could see was a female giant with skin that has the color of dirt and clothes made of rock. Beside the female giant is a beastkin that has the features of a lion. The aura of ferocity is constantly being emitted by this beastkin.
The individual next to the beastkin is a female so beautiful that one could not help but fall in love if they gaze upon her. The only thing that separates her from looking like a human is the large butterfly wings behind her back. She scatters some sort of dust with every flap of her wings.
The individuals that are next to the fairy look like they are twins and the only human in the group. The man had crimson eyes and hair. The woman beside him had long brown hair and an air of danger swirling around her.
The most noteworthy individual in the group is the old man leading the group. The people immediately panicked as they noticed the horn growing upon the old man\'s forehead. This was none other than Koronn who assembled all the representative of the five races.
The dragons have invited them to the summit not because they like them but of necessity. The dragons may not like the demons, but they need all the help they can get if a dark god needs to be sealed. From the dragon\'s knowledge, it is only the demons that have the capability to deal with sealing the dark god.
"What is the meaning of this!?" The pope of the Church of Light stated with irritation.
"The elder dragons invited them because the situation calls for every help that we can get." The dragon envoy replied.
"The gods may have told us to not be hostile to the demons but that does not mean we will work with them. I cannot allow such filthy creatures to the meeting. They might be plotting to overthrow us from the inside." One of the popes from the holy church stated.
"It seems that we are not welcome." The female Jotunn stated.
"Do not worry about it, Caca. They are merely jealous of our existence. Angels are always like that. We are descendants of the first intelligent creations after all." Leonidas scoffed.
"They are just too stunned of my beauty that is why they are speechless." Adelina, the fairy, stated as he closed her eyes and posed.
"We are not here to cause harm but wish to join this summit. All the races in the central continent are at peril. The living beings should unite so that there is hope for this disaster." Koronn stated but the other denizens of the central continent did not believe him.
"The invitation that the elder dragons extended to you is invalid. They did not go to the legal process therefore their say on that matter is overruled." Pope Pristina stated in a condescending tone.
"What did you just say, you bitch?!" The dragon envoy, who is a dragon herself, shouted in an angry tone.
"It seems that we are not welcomed here. I figured as much. We are just informing you that do not mess with the operations of our group since it clearly shows that you people do not want cooperation." Koronn stated as he lifted the Glamour that he cast and showed the world that it was not just them in the field but other races as well.
The players who were participating in the welcome ceremony were in uproar because a coalition of different races appeared before them. All types of elves, nagas, beastkins, insectoids, devils, and many others are part of the Asmodian race\'s entourage.
"We really did not want to join your coalition anyway. We were just going to humbly ask that you people join us, but it seems we are not welcomed." Koronn stated as he transformed into his true form which was a Djinn.
Koronn\'s form made even the dragon\'s jealous because he was both majestic and powerful. With a clap of his hands, the hundreds of other races with them disappeared in a flash of light. The once flooded open area became desolate.
The kings, queens and even some priests thought that they have jumped the gun. They suddenly thought that their chances of survival were much greater if they were on the other camp. They could only swallow the bitter pill.
