Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 626: He won't answer

"It can’t be true! He can’t be alive!" She repeated, remembering what seemed like a neat death to her.

Being killed wasn’t scary for her, but what truly scared her was the way she was going to be killed. The frightening sword of Chaos was still making her shiver.

Almost all gods knew about the Sword that Chaos used. Unlike the Spirit Weapons of others that the gods formed themselves, the Sword that Chaos used wasn’t a Spirit Weapon of his own.

Instead, it was something he had discovered in the Dark Abyss where no god dared to go because of Dark Creatures that roamed there. That was more like a prison that no one wanted to go to.

Only three gods had gone to that place in all eternity, and two of them were Chaos and the Goddess of Reincarnation.

It was said that Chaos had found that Sword in the Dark Abyss. It wasn’t an ordinary sword but a Dark Sword that contained the Dark Energy of the deep abyss which Chaos had bound to his soul.

That Sword was said to not only kill the gods but also to destroy their souls in the cruelest way possible by corrupting their souls and absorbing them to become stronger.

She wasn’t scared of death, but she was scared of her soul being tormented for an eternity even after death, and she wasn’t the only one.

All other gods were also scared of that Sword; that’s why they did all that was possible to avoid that sword when fighting.

Even after the death of Chaos, they couldn’t bear to see the sight of that sword which was why they took care of it.

"Are you telling the truth? Your brother... Chaos...? He is back?" God of War asked, frowning.

"Who else do you think could have avoided the foresight of God of Foresight? There are only a few people who can do that in this world, and none of them was involved," Janus answered.

"He has really changed. To go after our young kids for his revenge on us? How low could he have fallen?" Goddess of Destiny asked. "Where is he now? Why is he hiding? Ah, wait! Could it be that he’s weak now?"

"That’s it! That’s why he’s hiding! If he weren’t weak, he would have attacked us straight! Since he can’t face us openly, he is resorting to hiding and killing innocent kids for his revenge! What a bastard!" The God of War agreed.

"What else can we expect! Without his sword, he is nothing! And coming back has probably weakened him as well!" he continued.

"Ah? I-i think you’re forgetting something," the Goddess of Water said, stuttering initially.

"What?"

"You’re forgetting that he easily took out the God of Space, who is an upper-echelon god! Even if he’s weak, he should be stronger than all of us individually," the Goddess of Water explained. "And now Janus is also siding with him!"

"Janus, why are you helping your brother now? Didn’t you side with us before? Why are you changing sides now that your brother returned? You know what’s the right thing to do! You shouldn’t have supported him," the God of Flames sighed, shaking his head at the poor choice of Janus.

"Ah, do you still not understand?" Janus asked, smiling wryly.

"What don’t I understand?" God of Flames asked.

"He never truly sided with us. He probably only pretended to side with us so he could deal the last blow to his brother before us." The Goddess of Destiny answered instead, getting her answers from the expressions of Janus.

"I’m sure that the last attack held the secret to his brother’s return. He must have done something right then, and we weren’t able to notice it! It was a big trick that we all fell into. We made a big mistake by letting Janus side with us! We shouldn’t have!" She continued.

"Is this true?" God of Flames asked Janus. "That was all part of your plan?"

"What do you think?" Janus asked, standing with his back resting against a wall. "Why did you think I would betray my brother?"

"So you really betrayed us. It’s because of you that so many of the gods died in vain. It’s because of you that their deaths are in vain. Do you really not feel bad? All because of one brotherly bond, you betrayed entire Heaven?" The God of Flames asked.

"Not only that, you even helped him kill our sons? Didn’t you have any conscience? Killing kids? Really?" he continued.

"Actually, killing your kids was my idea. He didn’t even know what was happening. So I’ll take the credit, even though your kids died in his hands," Janus let out, bowing like a showman who had just finished a great show.

"You’re lucky that you aren’t really before us. I would have broken your skull right now!" The God of War declared, stepping towards Janus, clenching his fist.

"Janus, just know one thing. No matter how confident you are, your end won’t be good. You’ll regret doing this! Just wait! The time will come!" The Goddess of Destiny also chimed in. "You and your brother have made an enemy of the entire Heaven! Now you’ll see what that means!"

"Didn’t we already see what it means in the Last Great War? It’ll just be a repeat of that, but the outcome will be different this time," Janus answered lazily.

"Are there any other questions? If not, then I shall leave," he continued, smiling. "His body slowly started disintegrating since it was just a clone."

"We shall bring all the gods together. Issue an alert. It’s an emergency! And prepare to find the God of Time. We’re going to need his help as well," Goddess of Destiny started preparing a plan of bringing all the gods together since the threat was big.

She knew that all the gods would agree since the return of Chaos was not good. They had all fought against Chaos, and now if he returned, he was going to take revenge on them all. No one could afford to stay out of this war.

Even the neutral gods that didn’t join the last war had to side with them now since the entire Heaven was going to be destroyed if they didn’t.

Moreover, they had an excuse as well. Chaos had killed their kids. It was enough to threaten the other gods that Chaos had gone crazy, and if he won, he might kill their sons too.

"Oh right, before I go. You shouldn’t call the God of Time. I don’t think he would answer," Janus said before he finally disappeared.
