Chapter 371 370. The Divine Devil.



Isha flew down towards Eshwar after killing the behemoth, kissed him and glanced at Seo Hana, who was staring at them, oozing an odd aura of jealousy mixed with hatred, in response to which Isha narrowed her eyes at her.

'And of course!! Haaaaa...' She, Isha, thought with a deep sigh when she noticed that there were two sources of the nearly same kind of feelings directed at her and Eshwar, but the second source was somewhat stronger, which were not-so-unexpectedly from Frostine, who had hidden them pretty well, unlike a certain someone, but Isha trusted their, hers and Eshwar's, relationship enough to ignore them.

She was just slightly astounded and amused that their focus was on them even though there was a slain behemoth in front of them, chuckling inwardly, Isha intently stared at Eshwar, who understood the reason behind her gaze and avoided eye contact, in response to which Isha began to tease him with her eyes arched.

This sight of their unvoiced but lovey-dovey acts irked both Seo Hana and Frostine, while the latter tried to explore her own feelings in confusion.

What's that about "unvoiced?"

Isha was teasing Eshwar, but words weren't being exchanged, while Hana and Frostine thought that they were talking telepathically, but no, the tease was happening with her eyes, which held many unvoiced voices that Eshwar was reading with mere glances. They had gotten intimate enough to understand each other's thoughts with their eyes alone, they had a kind of relationship many would dream for.

Anyway,

Though annoyed at the sight they, Hana and Frostine, were being forced to watch, they couldn't utter their dissatisfaction. Why would they, how could they even utter any words of dissatisfaction, what right do they have to meddle in their relationship? With those questions flashing in their consciousness, Hana and Frostine kept their mouths shut.

"Let's return.... since the Fallen is already dead...." Hana muttered as she walked back, towards the spot where the portal through which they entered should be.

Suddenly,

"Who said so?" Eshwar's voice sounded from behind. Scoffing at him inwardly, Hana continued to walk, but soon stopped in her tracks as she raised her head to gaze at the spot.

'Why....'

"Are you wondering why there is no portal?" His annoyingly indifferent voice sounded again. As he said, there was no portal, there should be a portal that leads them outside, the dungeon boss was already hunted, why wasn't there a portal leading to the outside?

'Unless....'

'Who said so?' Eshwar's mutter flashed in her mind, she didn't think about it when she heard him say those words, she just told herself that he was only speaking to mock her, but

"..... That wasn't the Fallen?" Hana muttered, disbelief dyeing her face, which soon began to turn ashen in fear, at the realisation of the behemoth not being a Fallen even though it was so hard to even stand against.

Eshwar and Isha merely shook their heads in unison, in response to Seo Hana's fear driven query.

"T-then?" She asked, and noticed Isha pointed at the ground in response.

'Beneath the island?' Hana thought, slightly relived that the Fallen was smaller than the behemoth from before, which was turning into particles of black matter that was being sucked into the sword piercing it.

"No! The island itself is merely a patch of "dust" gathered on the Fallen~" Isha informed.

'A patch of dust?'

<How dare you pest like existences call me, The World Devourer, a Fallen! The audacity to keep on muttering even while knowing about my existence, it seems you have no fear, mor.....> "It" spoke, but as it continued its ramble, sensing what Eshwar and Isha were, it shut its mouth, metamorphically.

"What's wrong? Cat guy your tongue?~" Isha asked.

<You are Gods? Why are you fighting against a fellow God?> It muttered in a slightly strange tone, and just as Isha opened her mouth to agitate and tease the Fallen, Eshwar tapped on her palm and stopped her.

"You.... Are you from the outer regions of the Divine Realm?" Eshwar asked, with a hint of mockery hidden behind his words, which slightly baffled Hana and Frostine, who couldn't understand what there was that Eshwar was mocking it about.

Even Isha was baffled at the mockery "hidden" behind his words, she could tell that he was faking it, but she didn't know why or how much significance it held as she had yet to be to the Divine Realm.

<You!!!> It roared in outrage and the ocean began to tremble, producing nearly tsunami-like waves, that were dyeing out before they even reached the island.

"Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!" Eshwar laughed out loud, clenched his stomach and leaned forward, as if to express how funny "it" was, but if one heard his laughter clearly, there wasn't anything "laughter"-like in his laugh.

But, "it" was too agitated to care, hence

<I'LL SHRED YOU TO PIECES AND DEVOUR YOUR DIVINITY, YOU BASTA*D!!>

Divine Realm was a "Resourceful" world to say in a word, as even merely a mouthful of air there could be used to create a mana-less world, that could live for at least a few thousand years. Of course, none of that mattered to the Gods, who were bound to Divine Laws from birth, they were so restricted that they needed permission to even utilise the same mouthful of air.

But, if they are merely living by breathing in air, which simply goes in and out without being filtered nor polluted, they were free to do so, but of course, they too can die under special conditions if they are not breathing any air, but that isn't really needed to be known for now.

The entirety of the Divine Realm can be considered a single, massive city that had three regions; Core region, inner region, and finally the outer region.

Core region is where you can find most of higher ranked gods roaming around, uncaring for anything and everything around them. Inner region is where you can find the mid ranked gods, and finally the outer region where unranked or rank-less gods are seen most commonly.

The gods from the outer region were treated exactly like the nobles of the Planet Antinoüs treat commoners, since the gods from the outer regions were exactly that, commoners of the Divine Realm.

It was matter of pride and ego that they, the gods, hold since their birth that they tend to naturally not like bowing their heads to the others, and which region they belong to us also decided at birth, due to which they have no other choice but to comply with the rules and laws set by the strong and the Divine Laws.

Anyway, back to the dome.

"It" which had just roared at the mockery, was just about to jump out of the ocean and face off against the guy who had dared to mock it, but its body stiffened under the water.

"It" was a God named The World Devourer. It was an ancient looking Whale, with golden rings surrounding its body, flippers, and dorsal ridge-----a pair of rings on the each part mentioned-----and there was another pair floating away from its right flipper holding an humongous trident. The island which Isha said to be merely a patch of dust was in between the dorsal fin and the blow holes.

Many scriptures, written in the Divine Language, flashed into its mind, a phenomenon that was said to be of the greatest honour for the Gods because the scriptures were a one-sided communication initiated by the Divine Laws, and it wasn't any less for the whale too, as it recorded every, even the minor-est bit of what the scriptures said.

[The veil evil that tormented the Gods of the Divine Realm, even driving the Realm closer to the phase of absolute annihilation is once again standing in front of the Divine Bring, A God. You, The World Devourer, are chosen by the Divine Laws as the Scourge, the range of achievements shall be recorded and if the conditions are satisfied, The World Devourer shall be "moved" to the inner regions.] Were what the scriptures that played out in his mind head recorded.

That was the most honourable and the most desirable thing a God from the outer region could ever want, though the Divine Laws could merely order the whale to do it, this method that held clear rewards was more plausible from the whale's point of view, which was pretty insignificant to be honest. Maybe rewards were there merely to make it so that the Divine Being focuses more on the job, but whatever.

Another scripture with a very few words flooded into its mind which was a revelation that literally made its existence shudder. It said that the annihilation that had taken place in a certain past had forced the Divine Laws themselves to intervene, and it could only defeat him after stacking the powers of a million Core Region Gods, and even in that stacked state, he wasn't defeated until the Laws themselves and the Final God was in the brink of death. That past had also garnered him an eternal title,
