<h4>Chapter 894 - [Ascendance Of The Goddess of Sins and Virtues] 15/?: Kireina''s Impact On The Gods</h4>


    -----


    The Dragon Gods deposited their Divine Realms into the Spatial Layers of the Lower Realm and began to assess things after Kireina''s first attack.


    After having taken over the bodies of the mortals they cultivated and after having eaten their souls, they had acquired new and stronger bodies, and they fused their fates with the Epics of these Heroes, be favored by Fate.


    However, the first attack of Kireina seemed to have brought the demise of many "fodder" Demon Gods that Zeus recruited, but after that, Kireina exploded ad damaged Zeus greatly.


    After that, all fights ended abruptly, and they were forced to wait until news to where Kireina could exactly be to emerge.


    This greatly frustrated the Dragon Gods, who were looking forward to defeating Zudig who had said that he had joined hands with Kireina, and the fools had believed him incredibly quickly as if they had forged a bond of trust with the malicious zombie dragon god.


    Within the Divine Realm of Brulzrayn, the Dragon Gods sat down around ire, who the Dragon God of Fire had taken over and made of his new vessel, although this changed his gender to female, he never cared about such things other than gaining power, much like many other Gods such as Megusan or Geggoron, who had very loosen concepts of gender anyways.


    The three Gods began to cultivate by sharing their Souls together and their Divine Energy, without wasting any precious time to grow a bit stronger, they also used hundreds of Divine Materials to boost their cultivation like this, which was possible now that they had transcended certain limitations that normal Gods had.


    "So Kireina hase, exploded, and then damaged Zeus…" sighed ire Brulzrayn.


    "And then she stole the Yggdrasil Sprout right below our noses. How… amazing. I have to admit it, but she is truly a scheming master," sighed Leonia Qondress.


    "I-It is hard to admit it. But yes… She stole that legendary tree that has been guarded for so many years like nothing… And it is also said she stole the Sin of Envy''s Kingdom, the one with Elves…" said Kaze Nymbais.


    "But there''s something I am beginning to suspect… She is probably weak somehow. If she were to have so much power, shouldn''t she had in us all already? She is probably hiding and running away because she knows she''s not strong enough!" said ire Brulzrayn.


    "Maybe she stole the Yggdrasil Sprout to use it as a way to grow stronger?" asked Leonia Qondress.


    "But isn''t she a Goddess of Chaotic Sins and Commandments? How can she use the power of the Yggdrasil Sprout effectively? She requires Life and Nature Understanding, and with her age, she is not even a year old! She can''tprehend the Law of Life,"ughed Kaze Nymbais. He was a God of Life, and naturally held great understanding over it which he had nurtured for thousands of years. Meanwhile, Kireina was a mere mortal a few weeks ago, and she is not even a year old, she couldn''t acquire any inner understanding in so little time.


    However, the Gods werepletely unaware that she was able to get memories from anything she ate, and she gathered enormous knowledge and proficiency of any god she ate.


    If she were to eat a God of Fire, she would learn to use the Fire Divinity just as proficiently as the God itself, but this was not the case for other Gods who got the Divinity Devouring Skill from the market.


    After all, this power that Kireina had wasing from her Devour and her newest and evolved Sin of G, Divinity Devouring alone would never give her memories.


    The only exception to this was Zubekh, who had the parasitism divinity mixed in with the Uroboros Primordial Beast, which gave him a mildly simr effect, but to a very lower extentpared to Kireina.

    "Indeed…! She is a foolish mortal, after all, being a god for so little has made her incredibly stupid. It will be impossible for her to get much power from the tree if she cannot evenprehend the Life Attribute!" said ire Brulzrayn.


    "Hah! For now, let''s keep increasing our Attribute Particles to defeat her and her bunch soon enough, we won''t be alone either, so things shouldn''t be as hard… Zeusmitted a mistake by attacking her head-on, but we should be able to find a way to fight her. Especially if you said that she must be weakened and that all of that strength she shows is just a bluff," said Leonia Qondress.


    "Yes, and after that, we shall finally get David back from the ws of the damned Zudig! If we have him back, we could perform the special ritual we have been preparing and fuse with him, bing a single God with strengthparable to Great Gods!"ughed Kaze Nymbais.


    Much like many other ambitious Gods, the Dragon Gods d.e.s.i.r.ed power above everything and were even willing to merge together for that sole purpose.


    And now with this new era, there was a race between Gods for power and to survive what was toe.


    Even if it meant disregarding whatever sense of self they held and bing a single entity… Gods had lived for so long that their very sense of selves was warped, the thought of fusing was not as badly seen, even less with Gods that were never humans, to begin with.


    Meanwhile, as the enemies of Zudig were fooled by him, Zudig- No, Zubekh himself, was moving towards his next target, the Realm of Azn.


    "Even though Spatial Layers traveling, it is taking very long to cross such a long distance!"


    "That''s because Kireina took arge chunk of my original divinity, which ended weakening my original spatial abilities… Although we had developed it more, it still not as great as its former glory…"


    "If we could have eaten any Spatial God… but they''re as rare as water in a desert…"


    "Spatial Gods are indeed rare, and the Divine Beasts are not near as enough to give us proficiency… We can only be patient as we move to our next destination. After we finally arrive, we shall take over that Dungeon and devour the hidden Origin Core Fragment within it!"


    "Kireina might have eaten the one at Vida, but she most probably doesn''t have any idea about the one in Azn. If we can devour it, we will be able to acquire new abilities, and transcend our limits once more!"


    "But it is taking so long… ugh…"


    "Agh, shut up! Be patient!"


    As the three minds within the grotesque fused God spoke to pass time, within the innermost of their very fused and monstrous soul, inside a vast Inner Realm that not even them were able topletely see in detail due to its vastness, the figure of a human-shaped soul walked was navigating through an ocean of blood over a boat made of flesh and bones.


    Although his appearance was almost unrecognizable, his red hair and shiny eyes said it all, he was no one else than David, the hero that Zudig had eaten and taken over with.


    Through what has seemed to be hundreds of years for him, he had somehow awakened in this ce, even though he should have already disappeared long ago.


    He traveled through this mysterious and grotesque world, seeking pieces of his own self and thepanion at his side.


    Now, after having gathered many lost memories, he was slowly regaining a sense of self, remade from his very fragments alongside hispanion, he was seeking the truth about this world, about who he was, and what has happened to him.


    "I feel like we are getting closer… thest fragments of our own selves are close…" he said while ncing at the dark sky.


    "I can''t help but be a bit scared to find out what we really are, maybe we will end up being enemies!" said the other figure resembling a small wyvern, although it was made of flesh pieces ad bones of different colors, and looked grotesque.


    Their boat suddenly stopped on the shores of the ind containing two of their fragments, as the two figures jumped out of their boat and started to nce at the ce.


    There were several crimson red eyes spread all over, but they seemed to only observe…


    David and the Wyvern walked over it slowly, spreading their senses around them to feel if there was any monster lurking around the forest of tentacles.


    And there was.


    "GRYAR!"


    Arge, car-sized mass of ck flesh with arge jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth rolled towards them the moment they entered the forest, and David and hispanion quickly braced themselves.


    "Soul ze!"


    David released an attack made from the de he shaped from his very soul, unleashing a powerful tornado of mes, engulfing the sphere of flesh and roasting it alive!


    "Well, that was easy…" said the wyvern, as a second after, many rolling spheres of flesh with jaws moved towards them!


    "S-Shit, I should have not spoken too early!" he said, as he jumped into the air and opened his skeletal jaw, releasing a breath attack made from his very soul as well, which began to burn the tender flesh of the creatures one by one!


    sh!


    "GROAR!"


    However, another one jumped to his back, biting him, and taking a chunk of his soul!


    "Nngh…! SOUL BLAZE!"


    David, however, did not back down and attacked the beast right away, burning it alive until it was roasted.


    sh! sh! sh!


    David and hispanion continued fighting what seemed to be an endless army of spheres of ck flesh, which made their souls grow tired as they used their abilities!


    In this world, they were mere beings made up of soul fragments, and could not properly fight through physical means unlike the monsters, and had to spend their soul fragments energy to fight.


    Each time they unleashed their attacks, they would lose a piece of their very beings, but could recover by eating the flesh of these monsters!


    However, if they were constantly attacked, there was no time for them to eat, they had to desperately fight if they didn''t want to be eaten!


    "I am going to use it!" said David.


    "Wait, you idiot, that might end up making your soul…!" said the wyvern, trying to stop David.


    "No, I think these are thest ones, they are rolling slowly due to recognizing our strength, but will sooner orter tear us down… I have to use it! After that… Help me out eating them…" said David.


    "Hahh… Okay then!"


    The Wyvern suddenly jumped over David, as the two merged together!


    sh!


    David''s appearance changed, as he was covered in flesh and bones shaped as an armor of the depths of hell, withrge draconic wings!


    "RAAAAAHH! SOUL BLAZE EXPLOSION!"


    As the spheres of flesh began to jump over him and tear him apart, David''s soul fragments shined brightly, as they released a strong detonation, release an explosion of soul mes all over the ce!


    BOOOOOOOOM!


    "GRRYAAAAAARRHH…!"


    The beasts g.r.o.a.n.e.d in agony as they were consumed by the mes of the hero''s soul, one by one they were roasted alive until everything fell into silence.


    Their bodies quickly separated, as the wyvern saw David beginning to slowly crack and fragment like a delicate piece of ss.


    "Damn it, kid, you are way too reckless! Here, eat this, quickly!" he said, giving David some monster meat.


    "Thanks…"


    David began to eat the monsters one by one, regaining his strength and even gaining more power too.


    After a few hours of resting, the duo began to explore the now-burnt tentacle forest, finding the ruins of a temple made of ck bones… within it, the two could sense the presence of new fragments…
