When I left the arena, it was just all little bit last noon, but given that this planet has two suns, I think time here might be a little sketchy. But none the less I was able to find a secluded alley where I could finally get the answers I was looking for. Now while I have to find out what the dark council wants, or how this dungeon planet ties In with the devourers plan, it is without a shred of a doubt that I actually came here without any leads.
And with out a significant amount of luck, it would be fucking impossible for me to find out what I wanted. This planet is huge, and with my divine energy on lock, there would be no way for me to sense any god's, not unless they're right in front of me. And I also couldn't use my own divine energy either, because I would be announcing myself to both the dark gods here, and the dungeon itself, and since we don't know where this new arrival is leaning to in this war, I had to be very cautious.
And then God blessed me and this fool called Bawa Bawa landed in my lap. A mortal with a god killer, the divine weapon of a god. Now which god exactly, is what I intend to find out, and how I can also find said god. Divine weapons can't just be found lying around, and a bloody dungeon is incapable of creating any divine beings, not unless it evolves itself to a similar rank, but I've not heard of any dungeons that are gods, so obviously the sword was not from the dungeon.
Someone gave it to Bawa Bawa, or play it for him to find. With how bloodthirsty he was, it's only a matter of time before he went on a killing sores with that thing, and he didn't even care about the people watching when he was fighting me, which means he's the worst possible choice for someone to wield a divine sword. The only other outcome would have been chaos, and divine weapons are not without consciousness of their own, they will influence wielders other than gods or their chosen ones. Bawa Bawa was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
I opened my hand and his terrified soul form stood shaken in front of me, I have no idea what he saw when looked at me, but I doubt it's the happy grin on my face. I need to know where he got that sword from, it would help me plan my next move. His soul shook vigorously, perhaps he was trying to find a way to escape, but mortal body or not, he was still facing the god of souls, and from the very moment this planet became a part of this universe due to the merged, he fell directly under my jurisdiction.
"I don't want to repeat myself and I don't want to talk much either, so just tell me what I want to know and I will let you go on your merry way to whatever twisted afterlife or reincarnation that awaits you. How does that sound? Sounds good right?" Bawa Bawa nodded his head in agreement.
"Good now tell me where you got that sword from."
"It….it was about…..about three months ago. I was on a mission for the adventurers association near one of the entrances to the second floor of the dungeon. I was attacked by a group of people, three women and four men and each of them with so much power that they seemed to command the very essence of reality itself, much more powerful than you!" I raised an eyebrow at that, this guy has no idea who he was talking to, at most other gods would just suppress their divine aura and energy as opposed to completely sealing it away, so even though they looked mortal without the splendor of divinity, they're sill gods with access to their powers, so of course they would be more stronger than me.
"I wanted to rob the men and defile the women, they had such beauty I couldn't resist, but they also had just as much power. They would have killed me, but one of the women decided to give me a second chance, she told me that she had a mission for me, and that if I fulfilled it, she would give me what I most desired....her body. I would have devoured a flesh with such power and succulent beauty, it would have been the most divine of all experiences, I would have....."
"What mission did she ask you to fulfill?" I asked him, completely cutting of his tirade of abject worship and obsession. Obviously this woman he was talking about was so damn hot, it completely turned his head sideways, but never the less it would be nice of he got back on point! Or I'll vaporize him.
"Yes! The mission, the mission was, the great mission WAS!" Oh my God this guy is completely nuts. He didn't look like it when I was smashing a head on his,…..well head.
"She needed me to build her an army, and I did. I got the best of the best, thousands upon thousands of them, and sent them to the location which she spoke of on the first floor. She told me that they had great plans for me, and for this world. They were going to do the impossible, they were going to clear the dungeon! And in order to do that she needed an army that she would be able to bestow her divine boon upon, just as she gave the reaper blade...…you destroyed it *sniff* my sword, which is a token of her love and power *sniff* you're a monster.
Well it's too late to get him help seeing as he's already dead, but I guess it's the best, he's totally cuckoo. But finally I think I've gotten the basic gist of what the fuck is going on here, rather than cajole the dungeon to their side, they wanted to conquer it. Obviously it would be a great asset for them, and if they can evolve or change by virtue of their divine energy, theses dungeon, it's monsters, the people living on and in it, would be become assets for the dark council, and there are lots of people on this rock, it's the size of a fucking sun! Or maybe close to it.
When all of this is said and done, this dungeon planet would be like a fucking death star! The amount of destruction it would leave in it's wake, especially if it should gain the ability to travel through space, we might lose this war before we even realize it. But gods are arrogant, all of them have this pride etched in the bones due to their divinity, it is beneath them to make a deal with a lesser form of existence, they would rather pressure the dungeon into servitude or take it over completely and destroy it's core.
If I were them, so entrenched in my power, this was probably what I would do. But it would be unwise to believe that this was all their plans, normally using a route like this would take dozens if not hundreds years, but since there are gods as vanguards, they would be able to clear this entire dungeon in less time, maybe even a few months. I have to chase after them, and put a stop to this, because this is bound to bring even more death and destruction along.
"This army that you recruited for her, where did you send them?" I asked Bawa Bawa with an edge to my voice that brought clarity to his messed up soul.
"Bork Empire, if you enter the dungeon from it's entrance at the edge of the city, it would be a month and the half's flight to it's borders, and another two weeks to it's capital. Her camp is in one of the border cities call Kamesh. They're going to take over that empire as it's the most powerful in the first floor, and the only one with an active entrance to the second floor. If they're able to gain control of it, then..."
"She would be able to control the economy and movements between the first floor and the second floor. She, whoever the fuck she is would send her people down there and take total control of both the first and second levels just by gaining control of it's channel of transportation. Smart! Very smart. I might need a little help with this."
I've gotten every thing that I needed to get form this stupid yet poor messed up soul. Whatever power this goddess had used in getting Bawa Bawa to be loyal to her, had infected him down to the very depths of his soul. I could cleanse it, but I'm just to lazy, plus he slapped me and I find that I'm quite vindictive. So I waved my hand and his soul was crushed, dissipated into nothingness as he became forgotten, someone who had never existed.
I looked in the direction of the dungeons entrance, yes I was a god but I wanted to keep a low profile, so it stands to reason that I needed some help. I looked at the crest on my hand and for the first time since I woke up from my coma and found myself a god, I used it.
"Hey everyone is me, how about a little family reunion!"
