Chapter 327: Deities with Backing: The Star God-King! The Demon God-King!
...
Somewhere within the Myriad Gods Star Region.
A planet colored entirely in a deep, purplish-black hue floated in the expanse. From its atmospheric conditions alone, it was clearly a planet teeming with life.
Atop this planet stood a massive, breathtaking divine temple. The grand structure radiated a holy and pristine aura, its pure white walls intricately decorated with stunning gold-lined patterns.
Inside the grand hall...
Countless towering stone pillars lined the interior, each carved with dozens of magnificent, sweeping wings that caught the light.
At this moment, two deities were engaged in a serious discussion inside the hall.
"Coulton, what on earth is wrong with you?"
A deity with a human body and the head of a bird sat upon the main throne of the temple, his wings unfurling slightly behind him as he questioned the god beside him. This deity possessed the "Sky Divinity" and held authority over the skies; he was a powerhouse at the peak of the God-rank!
The deity beside him looked even more bizarre. He resembled a giant octopus—a soft-bodied creature holding the "Demon Divinity" and wielding a unique demonic authority. He, too, was a powerhouse at the peak of the God-rank.
"What's the matter, Calshius?" The octopus-like god named Coulton turned his head to look over.
"What do you think we should do about that newly risen Space God-King?" Calshius asked in a heavy voice.
Seito's breakthrough to the God-King realm was a fact known to every single deity in the War of the Gods domain. And because his divinity was rooted in space, it naturally drew an immense amount of scrutiny. After all, the power of space was profoundly mysterious and unpredictable; any authority related to it was bound to be taken seriously by the gods!
Not to mention, the War of the Gods had only just begun, and this God of Space had already advanced straight into the God-King realm.
Because of this, the difficulty of the War of the Gods had skyrocketed! If they couldn't secure a qualification to ascend to the God-King Star Region during this war, they would be utterly abandoned by the God Domain system, reduced to wretched, exiled evil gods!
Hearing his words, Coulton remained silent. He didn't have any bright ideas either. After all, when facing a true God-King, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant.
"How about we try reporting him to the God Domain system?" Lacking any real options, Coulton suggested rather uncertainly.
Hearing this, Calshius gave him a look that clearly said are you an idiot?
Reporting Seito to the God Domain system? This guy certainly had a lot of nerve. One had to realize that Seito had achieved his breakthrough to the God-King realm right inside the War of the Gods domain; he hadn't even set foot in the God-King Star Region yet. How could such a report ever succeed?
Noticing his expression, Coulton scratched his head awkwardly. Then, he thought of the faction backing him, as well as the faction behind Calshius.
The two of them didn't belong to the same faction; they simply shared a relatively good relationship within the War of the Gods domain. Behind each of them stood a formidable God-King.
Behind Calshius, the God of the Sky, stood the Star God-King!
Behind Coulton, the Demon God, stood the Demon God-King!
Neither of their backers was an ordinary figure!
"Should we pass the news along to the God-Kings?" Coulton suggested, his expression shifting with uncertainty.
He wasn't entirely confident about notifying them. After all, the God-Kings had ordered them to gather as many independent gods as possible within the War of the Gods domain to strengthen their foundations before migrating to the God-King Star Region. No one expected such a massive anomaly to emerge in the War of the Gods domain so soon.
"Would the Demon God-King actually lend you a hand?" Calshius's expression grew dead serious.
Both of them understood very well how the God-Kings placed their chess pieces. Before they pledged their allegiance to their respective backers, they were nothing more than ordinary people. The God-Kings had already granted them the strength of the peak God-rank. If they couldn't even handle a minor hitch in the War of the Gods domain, they would lose their reason to exist as valuable pawns.
However, there was one thing they could be certain of: the current development of the War of the Gods domain had far exceeded the calculations of the God-Kings.
Therefore, giving them a heads-up would definitely bring some form of benefit.
"It's hard to say," Coulton replied. He couldn't guarantee whether his backer would help him or not, since God-Kings usually didn't bother interacting with them.
"What about you?" Coulton asked back.
"It's the same on my end," Calshius replied. While it was true that they were subordinate gods to the God-Kings, their masters wouldn't go out of their way to help them without a good reason. At the end of the day, they were just expendable chess pieces.
"Let's find a way to contact them first."
"Mhm." The two reached a decision.
...
Meanwhile, on Seito's side.
At this moment, the six of them were on a desolate, dead planet, engaged in a frantic slaughter of demigods.
The primary reason so many demigods had gathered on this dead planet in the first place was actually due to Yun Qingge. During her previous period of operating in hiding, she had tracked down quite a few demigods and systematically dumped them all together here. That was why this place was practically overflowing with targets.
"Seito-kun, we've already reached Level 100!" Nakano Ichika said excitedly, checking her status panel.
How much time had actually passed? All five sisters had broken through Level 100 one after another. Was this what it felt like to be carried by an absolute powerhouse? This was amazing!
"Congratulations," Seito smiled faintly as he recalled several divinity fragments into his hand.
He stared at the divinity fragments inside his panel and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Right now, divinity fragments and fully formed divinities weren't particularly rare treasures to him; he could easily acquire them just by hunting down a few demigods. Therefore, Seito planned to distribute these divinities to his companions.
Considering the unique talents and traits of the Nakano quintuplets, Seito already had a perfect plan mapped out:
Nakano Ichika – Idol Divinity
Nakano Nino – Charm Divinity
Nakano Miku – Strength Divinity
Nakano Yotsuba – Joy Divinity
Nakano Itsuki – Gluttony Divinity
Divinities came in all shapes and sizes, so having such a diverse and quirky lineup was perfectly normal. The ones Seito had selected perfectly matched their unique personalities and innate talents!
With that thought, Seito separated five specific divinity fragments, then deliberately extracted five drops of his own divine blood. This was the blood of a God-King! A single drop was more than enough to elevate any one of the five sisters into a true deity.
"Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, Itsuki... are you willing to become my subordinate goddesses?" Seito asked the five sisters directly.
Although divinity fragments were no longer difficult for him to obtain, they weren't items to be given away carelessly. Therefore, Seito wanted to hear their thoughts first.
Hearing his question, the five sisters blanked out for a moment before exchanging glances with one another.
"I'm willing!" Without a single shred of hesitation, Ichika was the first to speak up!
