Aaron summons the power that was given to him by his ancestor, the God of space and passage.
His family gained the blessings that came from him. Although he simply adores his human descendants, that is why he gave them a fragment of his power. The authority of space and passage. Though to use such authority they must be within their capabilities and favouritism of God.
Fortunately, all the five Gods favor their descendants and that is why when they saw such a slaughter, they wanted to make their own move despite the rules that hindered them. It was still their children, their kin to the human they fell in love with. Seeing them dying one by one almost made the Gods berserk.
They watched them from when they were born, until they became adults, and had a family and grandchildren. That is why they can't explain the rage they felt.
If it weren't for the rules that bound them not to interfere with the world and the other Gods' warning, they would have manifested inside the mortal realm and ravaged the monastery. However rules are rules, they must adhere to them and keep the balance together.
But they wouldn't sit still they must do something in order to ensure their revenge. And so all the Gods gathered to address such a situation. If they wouldn't help then they should prepare to stop the five Gods whose madness has escalated throughout the years.
The heavens agree to help and so a chosen one must be decided. That person will bear the will of the Gods and protect their descendants however as they look for possible candidates the Gods meet a wall.
They have too many candidates that they can't come to terms with whom they will choose, and they couldn't choose all of them either.
And so the Gods got stuck inside the meeting for three years, until...
A presence made its way to them.
All twelve Gods look down on Bunag wondering what is going on.
The world spins slowly while mana becomes focused in a certain place.
They look at the source of it but strangely they can't.
This filled them with unparalleled curiosity.
"He is back"
They all concluded.
However his return won't change their current situation, it's not like He will come to aid them. That being is an outsider, an outworlder, one whose origin came from another universe.
They can't rely on such a being, and so the meeting continues with the Gods fighting over the candidate they wanted.
It was a mess and the ones whose disappointment is scaling high are the five Gods whose children are dying at the moment.
They wanted to end the damn meeting but they couldn't come up with a proper ending.
Bunag made another weird movement and for the second time, they all focused on the tiny blue planet.
"An authority"
They noticed, and it wasn't one but five. Five authorities of five different Gods.
"Those were yours"
"Indeed," the five said in unison.
Their thoughts moved and the world obeyed.
The clouds parted and an unknown creature revealed itself.
Its body is being protected by a black exoskeleton, sharp blades wings at the back and horns at its head.
"Demon"
The Gods concluded.
"A demon who can think....no..."
They could see that its soul was a human but its body was that of a demon.
"Interesting"
A sudden power was summoned making the Gods even more interested.
"She won't be able to reach you now," I said trying to comfort myself.
.....
Alya's Pov.
According to Apollo, there should be a tunnel beneath each temple so we should look for it. However, I don't know how he got such information since he adamantly told us all he knew.
"Well except the thing he was looking for"
I shook my head and decided to just focus on the task he gave to us.
With high-powered soldiers with us, it should be fine.
Outside of the temple me and Braiden began searching for it.
"I think we finally found it"
My senses told me it should be here so it should really be here. I have a good radar when it comes to looking for things so Apollo gave me this task.
"Are you sure this is it?"
"Of course"
I moved a stone from the ground and the ordinary-looking tree moved and revealed a path.
Braiden looked at me, dumbfounded at the current situation.
"You should have gotten used to this by now"
I said feeling a bit grumpy it's not like it's the first time I demonstrated this skill of mine.
"Sorry my fault"
After saying those words Brai brought a communicator bracelet and spoke.
"Apollo we found the tunnel"
{Good I'll be there in a bit}
A few seconds went by and three Apollos came down.
"Let's head inside"
He told us and gladly we entered the dark room without hesitation.
Contrary to the disturbing battle at the surface the tunnel was strangely quiet.
"It seems they had put something to protect this tunnel"
"Because they wanted this place to remain hidden and protected"
"I actually found its existence when I was helping Blair and Mckenzie at the other temple. However, this temple was built differently making it hard for me to locate it"
"So that's why you asked me to scout the area"
"Yes you have been good in using your instinct when it comes to finding things, so I let you find this place"
"Since we are here I guess Alya needs to find another thing right Apollo"
I kept on listening wanting to know what I needed to do next.
"I want Alya to find certain people for me"
"As long as they are here I think I could"
"Good then we should continue walking"
