367 Chapter 367: Shocking truth 2

"You say a god is capable of creating its things, animals, and people once it attains a realm, correct?" Derik spoke so slow that the angel of death was left more confused.

"Yes… I said that… The realm is always reserved for the gods, allowing them to create new beings… why do you ask?" the angel of death was confused as to why Derik was acting strangely.

"Tell me, how is a god created? How were the old gods created?" Derik asked again but this time he had a more dire expression on his face. The look in his eyes was made the angel of death believe that Derik was sincerely begging for a wrong answer.

"Well… Gods are born in planets like this called god vein with each acquiring the various inheritances of the god vein has to offer…. The old gods were born in a similar pattern but unlike your world, back then only the old gods existed… they started life and now they may wish to end it… The new gods should have been created in a similar pattern but unfortunately, the old gods are interfering" The angel of death replied while gazing at Derik with complete focus.

"I see… I see…. How are god veins found?" Derik went on to ask another question.

"I don't know… It just appears when the world is ready for new gods, just like now" The Angel of death was felt extremely nervous when Derik retreated a few steps and exhaled.

"Have you ever considered the fact that we may be living in another being's realm? The same way the Gods created us, someone created those old gods as well…. Think about it, god's vein popping up when the world needs new gods… the old gods were created in this manner and who created them… So many questions and so few answers, I can only speculate here based on everything you have told me…." Derik finally spoke up, leaving the angel of death stunned.

"Of course, I may be wrong but it doesn't matter now… I may even be crazy to think this way but right now, I am not so thrilled about leaving… This piece of information ruined my day… I just decided I won't be keeping you here any longer than you should stay, I'll be sending you back to the guardian spirit of the death element immediately!" Derik's visage turned violent in an instant.

Roar!

A loud inhuman roar exploded from the angel of death as its body expanded at an alarming rate, tearing through the chains that bound it to the ground with sheer brute strength.

"And who said you are free to go?" Derik's growled and the next moment something unexpected happened.

A gigantic snake-like beast with dark green dragon scales and blazing green fiery eyes appeared from beneath, shocking the angel of death.

Instantly recognizing Derik's pet, it quickly brandished its death scythe at it. Unfortunately for it, even though the shadow lurker was as large as the gigantic angel of death, its size didn't seem to hinder its speed in any way. The angel of death was forced to watch in despair as the shadow lurker maneuvered all through its attacks before wrapping itself around him as a normal snake would do. 

"You lost!" Derik breathed out a sigh of relief as he watched the angel of death struggle fiercely but it couldn't escape the shadow lurker's grip.

Waving his hands, more green chains erupted from beneath, latching onto the angel of death binding it to the ground once again, and forcing it to go on its knees.

"As a reward for being so cooperative earlier and listening to my nonsense speculations, I will make your death quick and painless… and I will let your wisp of consciousness return to the guardian spirit of death. I promise I will not consume you like the others!"

Derik chose to remain in his little human form, not carrying about the size of the shadow lurker and the angel of death. He slowly descended on one of the large green chains and upon making contact, a powerful wave of chilly green flames erupted from all the chains and quickly consumed the angel of death.

Even though the shadow lurker was binding the victim, it wasn't suffering from the flames Derik had released. There were no screams or cries of pain, no anger or hate, the angel of death just knelt there gazing at Derik as he slowly burnt away.

"I will have to thank you then for your kindness…"

That was its last words before it was reduced to ashes…

Somewhere in the other realm where the other demigods and guardian spirits were gathered, Demos suddenly shuddered as one of his clones returned to him. Its memories soon began to play in the mind of the guardian spirit, leaving Demos even more stunned and restless.

At this point, Demos wasn't annoyed with the fact that Derik murdered his clone. The only thing that annoyed it was the fact that Derik was planning to mess with the cycle but unlike Derik, he was already aware that Samael had handled it for him.

What left him quivering was Derik's questions and conclusions! Never for once did he consider this or even consider that something like this could exist. Even though Derik's words sounded nonsensical, he could sense some sort of truth behind it, preventing him from completely shoving this memory to the back of his mind.

The guardian spirit of death was left to ponder on the possibilities of this while taking it into account that even normal humans, leaving normal lives will find it nonsensical if someone should wake up one day and tell them that the guardian spirits and old gods exist. The same may be for him since this being Derik had spoken of may be at a high realm.

Unknown to these two, Derik's actions and words that day had reached the darkest and farthest part of this universe, awakening something that has been asleep for a long while now.

"Someone Just thought about me" It said.
