Chapter 575: Meeting A Dark Goddess

-----

Razdall, The God of Darkness and Sins had used his powers to predict that Ervas and Veronica would come here on its due time.

Well, and this prediction which he had suddenly was confirmed when Vedon, the God of Inventions, Alchemy, and Magic and Lamus, the God of Space and Otherworldly Knowledge had revealed to him that the two "heroes" from the future had come back to the past to change its destiny.

After almost a year of waiting, they finally arrived… And the moment he felt their presence, even the powerful Father of the Titans felt a sudden pressure and a chill running through their spine.

"By all creation, what sort of power do they possess?" he wondered.

He had felt multiple divinities all in two beings! Their power alone was already comparable to his, if not even more terrifying due to their insane ability to regenerate divine energy at an outstanding pace!

And to make things even crazier, they seemed to be connected through their souls, meaning that they had the power to merge as one complete being, whose power could rival every Great God there was in here… together.

Razdall began to wonder if he could even speak to such strong beings… He even felt the divinities of himself and others… Have they somehow inherited the power of the Great Gods' future selves? And why did they also exuded the power of Hekaton? What has truly happened in the world while he was slumbering?

It was truly something crazy and insane to consider, which made the God of darkness and sins wonder what kind of beings they were…

Razdall was not currently in the Demon Empire but slumbering within the Sacred Grounds of Darkness, where he rests. Which is a place near the center of the continent, which is surrounded by several Empires that are all protected by a certain Dark God.

However, his powers seeped into the entire continent, so he was more than capable of calling forth beings in specific that inhabited the continent, as long as he concentrated his power.

Also, he and the other Dark Gods used their divinities and the help of their subordinate Gods to maintain the barrier that protected the continent from the enemy forces coming from the continent of Anir's Hands.

However, Because Razdall held the greatest authority over it, he was able to manipulate it, and let the split souls and anyone with them inside without problems.

"However… to think that those Demon Gods being parasitized by Demon God King Fragments would try to stop and kill them… But it seems that my concerns were unnecessary, as they easily slaughtered them, and… did they even ate them? It seems that they even possess the ability to eat souls, something that only the Demon God King and perhaps Qadall have…" thought Razdall.

Razdall quickly decided to try and contact them, as he found out that they moved incredibly quickly to the Demon Empire of Gastras, which was being taken care of by Roneas, the Goddess of Emotions.

Roneas was at this moment sleeping within her Divine Realm, she decided to sleep whenever she didn't have much to do, saving up her strength and energy in the process.

"Roneas…" he called.

However, the sudden voice of her brother startled her.

"UAAAGH! Eh? Razdall?" she asked.

"Yes, it's me. Roneas, wake up, there are people I need you to help me send a message, if possible, I want you to invite them into your Divine Realm. Can you do this for me?" asked Razdall.

"Eh? Of course… But why? Who are these people?" asked Roneas. Naturally, she didn't even know who her brother was even talking about. She wasn't going to let a complete stranger which she didn't even knew about enter her divine realm so easily…

"They are friends. Runaways from the Anir's Hands Continent. They are Ervas and Veronica, I believe… Have you not even heard about them?" asked Razdall.

"Ueh? Erm… no… Well, what do you expect! I was just sleeping!" said Roneas.

"Okay… Let me tell you some more about it, everything I know so far from the info I have accumulated by the prayers of my believers in the other continent… It seems that even their people have prayed to me," said Razdall.

Razdall quickly introduced the split souls to the goddess, who got surprised and more surprised with each word.

"Oh my god! They are overpowered! What is this?!" she wondered, almost falling unconscious.

"Calm down, don't panic… They are good people! Simply let me send a message," sighed Razdall.

"A-Ah! Yes! Sure thing, brother, let's do it!"

Roneas and Razdall combined their power and divine energy and directly sent a message to the split souls!

FLASH!

However…

WHAM!

"Eh?!"

"What…?!"

Their divine message never reached them! In fact, when it was about to touch their souls, a strange permeable invisible shield blocked the message…

"What the… This is weird… It is not just a shield but also some kind of puzzle… How hard is it to reach their soul?" wondered Razdall.

"Uwawawahh… I feel all dizzy…" sighed Roneas.

However, the split souls received the message, although they did not read it or anything, they easily tracked the origin of the divine message and flew through the skies of the night.

After a few minutes, they reached the Sacred Grounds of Roneas, which were just behind the castle of the Demon Empire of Gastras! Inside this sacred place, there was a large shrine where many believers gathered to pray to the goddess, but tonight there weren't many people.

They reached into the skies and opened space itself through their abilities.

"UWAAAH!"

Suddenly, the cry of the horror of a young woman reached their eardrums, as they saw a beautiful woman with gray skin, long elf-like ears, silky black hair that reached to her feet, and two sharp crimson-red eyes with a purple eye in the middle of her forehead with her eyes wide open and her mouth gaping in surprise.

"Hi, are you a Goddess?" asked Ervas.

"She must be Roneas," said Veronica.

"Oh right…" said Ervas.

"H-How did you got inside my divine realm?!" cried Roneas.

"Ah, please stop panicking, we came here because you called us," said Veronica.

"I… did? Oh! Are you Veronica and Ervas?"
