Chapter 621 - The Strange "Heroic" Gods

-----

Although Bestellen's Heroic Gods had many numbers, the small group of powerful Monsters were enough to devastate them to no end! In just a bit over ten minutes, they had all been defeated!

Even more, the group of subordinate gods forced into bombs were all captured. There were some that had managed to not explode, but they were regretting not doing it, as this meant that their priests and followers captured in the Empire of Bestellen would suffer…

As the ones that died were reconstructed very quickly through the effort of dozens of phantom and void clones combined with the power of summoning to summon them instantly remade, the group of children down below were feasting in the measly mortal army of Paladins.

They were over 10k paladins led by powerful High Battle Popes, part of the Constellations, but their names seem to not be even worth mentioning, as they were all slaughtered the same!

Violet adorably ate an entire Paladin by extending her belly into a monstrous tentacle with jaws, the half blood human children practiced their blood attribute divinities by bathing the paladins in blood judgements made of countless blood blades…

Meanwhile, the people of Seashore ended being moved inside of Veronica and Ervas Divine Realm.

Although they wanted to respect their decision of staying outside, they were forced to enter and be saved from being attacked once more.

It seems that Bestellen's assault had ended in a complete failure, and his troops were easily overwhelmed by the sheer power of their tamed pets and plants… And well, some of their children too.

The amount of EXP that the split souls harvested from this was… not enough to max level yet.

At the very least, their troops, the monsters, had leveled up a lot, and some were nearing Great God Realm in levels of power…

The subordinate gods of the bright gods slowly began to emerge one after another through a special summoning formation, being brought back to life anew…

"Ah… We are back…"

"But our followers!"

"T-They'll get killed!"

Many of the gods were panicking, they had grown very attached to their mortal followers and priests, to the point that they would give up their lives for them. Perhaps they were too soft and devoted to their own mortals. But this was also something beautiful and pure about these Gods which the Heroic Gods that Ervas and Veronica killed lacked!

Uphy and the other Bright Gods, alongside Veronica and Ervas told the Gods that things were going to be alright, even if they were to die, Ervas and Veronica possessed the transmigration cycle, something Bestellen didn't knew about. As long as they detected these souls, they could transfer them into their divine realm and revive them as easily as summoning them.

Although they risked being killed and tortured… But well, it was better than nothing.

And it wasn't as if they were going to wait much longer either!

"Bestellen's plan was simple, he attacked Seashore simply because he knew we would retaliate. He wanted to catch us off-guard, kill our allies, and weaken our morale in the process…" said Ervas.

"But we didn't let the bastard get away with it! We slaughtered his army in the process and also saved you guys… However…" sighed Veronica.

"However, we fell for his bait even if we won, now, we had shown clear hostility and even showed a bit of what we are capable of, a war is imminent now, and he even expect us to move to his Empire…" said Ervas.

"But he had already sent armies of Heroic Gods towards the other towns we were protecting, which were are now saving inside our divine realms as we speak here…" said Veronica.

Their main bodies were teleporting around with Aurora, putting each town they had found all around the Continent of Anir's Hands that didn't belong to the Empire, it was rather quick, and when the armies arrived, they began to be slaughtered by their group of Demigods and Divine Beasts, easily letting them gain some EXP in the process.

"After exterminating his troops, I suppose we'll go directly to confront him. We had settled everything up with the Dark Gods and those that will help will be teleported when things get real." Said Ervas.

"Indeed, we are already almost ready…" said Veronica.

"Though, did you guys noticed something weird with the Heroic Gods?" asked Ervas.

Uphy and the other Bright Gods looked at each other, and then asked the captured subordinate Gods about it.

"Those Heroic Gods were mass produced by Bestellen, the same armies sent to the other towns, which include more of our groups… those Heroic Gods are unlike us because Bestellen had recently made them." Said one of the subordinate gods.

He explained this to Uphy, his goddess, and then she explained to the rest.

"That damn Bestellen… he and his subordinate gods used a lot of power to create a special dungeon that helps people level up through fighting powerful illusions of… you and everyone here. People grow stronger through it by gaining excessive amounts of EXP, and when they reach a good amount of power, they enter a zone where their physical bodies are destroyed and transformed into surplus energy to convert them directly into Heroic Gods! This is how Bestellen is sending hundreds of them at once… He's using his very own citizens in the Empire of Bestellen as soldiers…" said Uphy.

"What!"

"Bastard!"

"So that bandit-looking guy was actually a bandit, probably?"

"Most likely… Bestellen is going too far. He is most likely using some kind of power or ability to brainwash the people into easily agreeing to this, being sent to fight us senselessly!"

The four bright Gods were discussing things out, Veronica and Ervas sighed in relief that they had not eaten these Heroic Gods yet, they decided to reconstruct them for now, recovering their minds to a healthy state.

"That was close, we almost ate them." Said Ervas.

"We'll revive them as they come here, though it will take its time…" said Veronica.

"This bastard if Bestellen is really playing nasty this time around, huh?" said Aurora.
