Chapter 339 - Benevolent DemiG.o.ds


-----


The G.o.ds belonging to the Great G.o.ddess of Beasts Ova Pantheon, were mostly her children and others who had similar divinity to the Great G.o.ddess that were not related by blood to her.


Ova"s children often held a middle position, due to all of them being Demi-G.o.ds, they weren"t as respected as G.o.ds, but G.o.ds that weren"t from Ova"s family would respect them nonetheless, as they were still the Great G.o.ddess Children.


However, although they respected them, they wouldn"t willingly support them neither give them Divine Energy Crystals without any benefits, so the siblings would often cooperate with each other to maintain themselves afloat.


The Great G.o.ddess Ova would give them a yearly amount of Divine Energy Crystals, as their sole existence was useful for her, each of her children held a special divinity that maintained several animals and demi-humans, without them those certain existences would weaken and perish and that wasn"t her goal.


Although she did not care much about her descendants dying or being enslaved, they would always keep on living, either by being raised as cattle or by having their own Kingdoms… Ova"s point of view as selfish and only saw her descendants as p.a.w.ns for her strength to grow greater.


However, she did not nourish them as other G.o.ds would do, as this would create too many conflicts with the G.o.ds supporting Humans, who held the superiority in the Realm of Vida.


Sometimes, very few times, the World"s Will would design a Beastmen as a Hero or Champion, and Ova would usually bless them and give them her help, but this has happened very few times in existence, so she wasn"t actively looking for new mortal Champions to represent her in [Scripted Events] and the [World"s Epic].


Ova had recently received a lot of asks for help from her children, who she barely remembered their names. She was oblivious about them and their descendants, and usually didn"t give them any attention, throwing some Divine Energy Crystals at best to make them shut up.


She wasn"t really a good mother, not at all, she was cold and emotionless for the most part… One would think that someone that represents the Life Attribute and all of the Animals (non-monsters) would be a loving mother and compa.s.sionate to all living beings… but Ova was never like this.


Much like other ancient G.o.ds, Ova raised from a mortal and wasn"t born as a divine existence, so her point of view had changed too much from her past experiences, her journey to G.o.dhood was filled with fights, bloodshed, betrayals, and suffering. She had grown cold and only cared about surviving and raising in strength, to reach the apex and conquer everything…


But her children, born as divine species quickly raised into Demi-G.o.ds, so they saw themselves as responsible for their own creations, unlike Ova, who only saw them as tools for her goals. In a way, her children felt like real G.o.ds instead of her, a Great G.o.ddess.


Ova"s children had gathered in the Divine Realm of Morpheus, and they were asking hundreds of questions about the mortal he had asked for help, and how could they contact her.


"Big brother, please, can you tell me the name of the mortal?"


"Isn"t it dangerous to ask for help to someone who was born as a monster…?"


"Little brother, why did you ask for help to the Realm Menace of l.u.s.t, the mortal who will someday be persecuted and killed by the Humans?!"


"Morpheus, you were reckless… I like that"


"Please, big brother, let me talk with her… My children are in dire need of some help!"


"No! Me first, my little turtles are in danger!"


"Morpheus, can you tell her to help me out with the conflict of my children with the canines? It"s very troublesome"


Several G.o.ds, all of them being Morpheus siblings of all sizes, shapes, and colors asked for his help, some questioned what he did, but also intended to ask for Kireina"s help.


"Okay, this is it… CALM DOWN!" shouted Morpheus, already overwhelmed by his siblings, who were jumping over him without letting him any air to breathe, though G.o.ds didn"t need air.


"B-But brother!" Asked a Turtle-like Demi-G.o.d.


"Brother, please" Asked a beautiful Demi-G.o.ddess with different feline features.


"I"m also ashamed over my descendants for what they"re doing to the felines, this shouldn"t be happening… I didn"t teach them such things…" Said a handsome Demi-G.o.d with different canine features.


"Let me talk to her, brother, she had already rescued some Harpies, I"m sure she will be willing," Said a beautiful Demi-G.o.ddess with vibrantly colored feathers over her two arms, in the form of wings, she also had the talons of a bird and her hair was made of these colorful feathers as well, she was the mother of all Harpies.


"I"m willing to give her my blessings, even my dungeon!" Shouted a young-looking Demi-G.o.ddess with the features of different rodents, she was incredibly adorable.


Even when Morpheus made them move away, he was still being bombarded with their pleads for help, and unlike his mother, he really felt bad for his sibling"s descendants, he wanted the best for every beastman race, not only his.


"Alright, I will try to help you out in contacting her, but all of you are too many! It will be hard to organize things… can you guys relax?"


"B-But my children! Y-You don"t know what horrors they are being put into by those d.a.m.ned Cyclops!" shouted the Demi-G.o.d with pale green skin, scales, and a large turtle sh.e.l.l on his back.


"C-Chuu…! But brotheeeer…! My little children!" Shouted the small and cute Demi-G.o.ddess of Rodents.


Thankfully, some of Morpheus descendants who had raised into Living Deity species, ancient Kings and Centaur Champions came to his rescue, and finally eased the desperate cry for help that the G.o.ds were having.


"Please senpais, calm down, our father is doing his best to a.s.sess everyone…"


"In the meanwhile, why don"t you all try some delicious tea?"


"Please, sit down, feel yourself at home…"


As the Living Deity Centaurs calmed the Demi-G.o.ds, Morpheus had a conversation with Maeralya, the Demi-G.o.ddess of Felines and Marnet, the Demi-G.o.d of Canines, whose both descendant groups had formed Kingdoms of their own.


Felines created the Kingdom of Moonfang, while Canines the Kingdom of Sunclaw, had good relations.h.i.+ps between each other until a few hundred years… where someone or something influenced both Kingdoms to hate each other.


And now both G.o.ds that were their parents were completely confused about this course of events, they weren"t even in the [Scripted Events] that they had planned either.


They immediately presumed that this was due to the intervention of other G.o.ds, Evil G.o.ds or Lone G.o.ds looking to make conflicts between mortals to weaken the G.o.ds representing them.


However, Morpheus couldn"t immediately a.s.sess this and bother Kireina, she was in the middle of the task he has given to her, and he knew that she was rather temperamental with those who tried to force her into things, he had experienced it in the first person when he asked for her a.s.sistance.


"Big brother, little sister, please calm down… Kireina is currently in the middle of my task… so for now, let"s wait and see, there isn"t any guarantee that she will accomplish my request… but as I see how it goes, she is doing very well"


"I suppose you"re right… We are G.o.ds, after all, at least we should learn from mother to have a cool head in such situations" Said Maeralya, nodding.


"Yes… For now, let"s hope for the best while we try to instruct the popes that represent our churches" Said Marnet, as he drank some of the tea left by Morpheus"s children.


The three G.o.ds glanced at a crystal sphere as they saw Sofarpia and Sofelaia"s visions, after being blessed by Morpheus, he was able to project what they saw, partially, through these artifacts.


With this, he was able to glance at Kireina"s plans and how good she had worked. Morpheus was rather impressed, he didn"t expect much from Kireina, and what he had done could only be called reckless, but it seems that it ended up paying off, she was doing her task given without hesitation, her strength was also admirable for a mortal.


Incidentally, the System Master, the one protecting and representing Kireina didn"t say anything about these Demi-G.o.ds asking her for help, so they felt with the ability to ask her for more things in the future, of course, with their desired compensations, like giving away their dungeons.


They had also known about Kireina"s wanting to "unify" the Kingdoms by absorbing them into her Kingdom as va.s.sal nations… but in reality, Morpheus had misinterpreted her words, and thought that she was a righteous woman who wanted to protect the beastmen…


But she was only interested in more soldiers and workers. And through her unique Kingdom System, her powers and the strength of all her family and kingdom increases as she obtains more population, so it was beneficial for her, something that Morpheus wasn"t aware of.


All of the Demi-G.o.ds present in Morpheus Divine Realm had already decided to give up their Kingdoms or small nations for Kireina to absorb them into her Empire, they didn"t mind at all, as long as their children could thrive and offer them a small pray every day.


Kireina was completely unaware that she was being looked by several G.o.ds, interested in her strength, and awaiting the time she is done to give her more task… the next months will be surely busy for her.


She was currently in the middle of her Innate Realm, the Soul World where the Souls she ate were stored. She was using the Sin of l.u.s.t like an administrator, who constantly sent Souls to be reincarnated into her kingdom as random citizens…


She hasn"t taken much attention in the Vampires, but considered that some of their strength, talents, and skills could be inherited after being reincarnated like she once did with Izumi, the former Heroine of Alchemy of the Azuma Empire, which after obtaining a new body, she was able to inherit most of her skills from her previous life, although that was possible due to the catalyst being her ashes, so the inheritance of power could be weakened if doing it by this way.


As she pondered these thoughts, around a hundred Souls were instantly transported elsewhere by the dark sphere which was the representation of the Sin of l.u.s.t.


The four Vampires, Joliette, Castien, Frank, and Jagger glanced at the sphere who once again sent more souls somewhere else.


Jagger was rather weirded out, it has been some hours since he died in the outside world, but inside of this realm it had already felt like several weeks, every time the sphere appeared, it would carry souls somewhere else.


"I think that they are being reincarnated," he said.


"What?" (Joliette)


"Guoon… reincarnated…" (Frank)


"Do you think so too, Frank-kun? I guess we all thought the same then…" (Castien)


"No, I didn"t think about such a thing" (Joliette)


"Well, you aren"t the brightest, Joliette" (Castien)


"W-What did you say you knife-ears?! I"m pretty sure I"ve lived longer than you!" (Joliette)


"Well, that"s true, I"m a rather young Elf… was" (Castien)


As the two discussed, Frank and Jagger glanced at each other.


"Are they always doing this?" Asked Jagger.


"Guoon… Always"


"They seem to go well with each other… Hm, should I let myself be reincarnated? Hopefully, my memories stay… I could start anew as something else, someone else…"


"Guoon…?"


Suddenly, Jagger tried to fly towards the dark sphere, but Castien and Joliette tried to stop him.


"W-Wait! Wait, Jagger! Don"t!"


"Jagger, you will get eaten or destroyed!"


"Guooon…!"


Frank somehow joined in to stop the goat-faced soul.


"Let me go! I want to be reborn! I"m bored and tired of this place! Are you really planning on staying here forever? With what purpose would our existence be if we just drift away in this depressive place?!"


As the four tried to hold each other, the Sin of l.u.s.t noticed their presence and slowly moved towards the group…


"W-Wait, it"s coming!" Yelled Castien.


"N-No! I don"t want to be eaten! You"re such a stupid goat!"


"Guoonn…! Eaten…!"


"Yes, here! Let me be reborn… in whatever thing you want! I just want to exist and have a purpose!"


As Jagger struggled to get the Vampires off him, the trio grabbed him tightly with their Soul Ethereal bodies, the Sin of l.u.s.t then approached them and watched them in silence.


As it thought about their reincarnations, it remembered one of Kireina"s words.


"It would be interesting if they reincarnated into my children"


She had said it as just a small comment in her mind and hasn"t really wanted such a thing to ever happen… the Sin of l.u.s.t then absorbed the four souls like a vacuum.


"Gyaaaahh…!"


"N-Nooo…!"


"Yes, ple-"


"Guoooonn…!"


The four Vampire"s souls were merged together with some other monster souls, their memories and personalities were melted and mixed and then they were inserted in the unborn fetus of one of Kireina"s children… Inside Alice"s belly.


"Oh…"


Kireina saw what just happened, but didn"t know where it sent the souls, only hoping for them to have been sent to some random citizen… instead of her own child.
