Celestial Peak

Chapter 540: The Beginning of the End

The peace of the Deity Paradise remained unchallenged. The skies remained blue and the Deities live the same as before other than the clear anticipation in their eyes for the coming of the Origin Races.

"I have not seen the bastard Exl in millions of years, he still owes me an eye." The acting leader of the White-Tigers said with a bright smile and raging eyes, "That dastardly Holy Asshole used ice and fire to actually scoop out my eyes, hehehe, I'm going to rip an arm off that girl and burn her with Phoenix Flames to make sure that don't grow back. Quinn, remember that favor you owed me? I'm going to need you to act on that in exchange for some Flame Essence."

Quinn, the acting leader of the Phoenixes sighed as she tended to the bonsai of the Deity Pavilion, that was at the northernmost parts of the Deity Paradise, sighed at the yapping of the White Tiger.

"I would give it to you but have you dealt with your offspring? Alkar refused to answer your summons and is still fighting the child from the Wang Family. Sigh, and here I thought he'd learn after facing the anger of the Ancestor all those years ago." Quinn sternly stated.

The White Tiger looked to the side to avoid Quinn's scrutinizing gaze, "Well, he's at that age now you know? Someone rebellious and ack what was that for, Leader Tel?" 

A glowing seed hit the White Tiger in the head. Tel, a woman bearing straight deep blue hair and sharp eyes flashed her a contemptuous look, "Do not push the blame, Akil. Alkar is your son, and because of his lack of validation he picked a fight against the Wang Family to prove himself to you and most likely the Ancestors, what do you think, Sister?"

A woman bearing the same face as Tel peeled off a red fruit and quietly picked out the glowing seed inside, "As my sister said, Alkar is Akil's son, so it falls upon you to take him back home. The All-Father is already calling upon the Devil and Holy Races to prepare. We cannot fall behind in preparation, do you understand, Akil?"

Akil clicked his tongue to their words, "Tsk, even Leader Jel is saying the same thing? But, it's not like not having him here is going to"

"Akil, deal with the matter." Tel and Jel, the acting leader of the Black Turtles spoke in unison, their irritation on the same level, "We all allowed him to venture out in exchange for monitoring the outside world. But, Alkar started his own Clan outside the Deity Paradise and picked a fight with the Wang Family, we already gave him too much leeway by allowing him to throw the name of the Deities for so long. Now, Akil, it is time to collect all the debts he has to the Deities."

Akil, the acting leader of the White Tigers bit his lower lips in frustration. But, in the end, he could only sigh and nod knowing the White Tigers are in the wrong, "Tsk, that bastard son of mine is going around causing all this ruckus Leaders Tel and Jel, if I bring back Alkar back, can I ask for his life to be spared?"

Tel and Jel, the two halves of a Black Turtle looked at each other. They were thinking of the consequences of what they might say.

"Why not just accept his terms and switch out the conditions?" from the side, fitting her bracers and gauntlets was Olivia, the acting leader of the Azure Dragons.

Tel and Jel both stopped moving their hands, "Speak, Olivia."

"it would be best if we just ensure Alkar's life to Akil first. His punishment will not be less than banishment to a dimensional slice for ten years. Complete Isolation should do the trick to break him and then we can present him to the Mother I mean, All-Mother. Do this and we can ensure Alkar's life because of our benevolent Mother's judgment." 

Olivia snickered as she shot a look at Akil, "Leader Tel and Jel, I know you already made the decision so just accept it as it is already. We need any thorn that may arise to be plucked out before the fight against the emperor, so we take Alkar out of the picture. Akil will surely protect his child if something happens to him, so this checks, out, right? Is this enough to stop you from questioning us, Akil?"

Akil saw the snickering Olivia and he could only dangle his limbs in response, "more than enough, Sister Olivia."

Tel and Jel returned to eating fruits hearing Akil's confirmation, "Then that's good to know. We were considering imprisonment on a Chaotic Realm but a simple Dimensional Slice should be good enough. With that said, what are you waiting for, Akil? Are you not going to capture your son and bring him home? We may change our minds you know"

"Yes! Immediately!"

"Good, don't bring any bribes to the Wang Family, wholeheartedly bow to them and apologize for your son's mistake. Think of them not as a member of the Mortal Race but on the same level as our Ancestors. Their Leader is the direct nephew of the All-Father, if you disrespect them in any way, then, I don't think it will matter if we lessen his punishment. The All-Father of this Era, is not the one we used to know after a"

HONG! 

The entire Deity Paradise became silent as every single Deity's sense spiked. Tel and Jel, the Black Turtles, as well as the acting leaders of the Deity Races felt as though their hearts sunk in the span of a split second.

"This pressure what is that thing?" Olivia unknowingly swallowed her saliva. Her instincts belong to that of the mighty Azure Dragons. She controls the Origin Lightning, and could draw out the essence of Tribulations yet, she could not even raise her head.

Killing intent thicker than anything in the Universe swallowed their senses, the weak began to keel over and the strong felt their breathing to momentarily halt. 

No one knew what was happening, it was terrifying and unfathomable and it was at this time, the blue skies of the Deity Paradise cracked

SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH! 

From the cracks there came out a fox with red fur. Sensing a familiar presence, every Deity overwhelmed by the killing intent raised their heads in response and what they saw brought their jaws to turn to a slack.

SHUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

A decomposing red fox with Nine Tails carrying four giant bubbles of space fought thousands of black tendrils back! 

"Mother?" They all questioned seeing another creature bearing the qi of the All-Mother.
