Chapter 1044 Nourishment

Amaterasu's children then looked downwards to see everyone's stunned expression and they were not disappointed. Soon, a look of arrogance crept onto their faces as they watched the other mortals kneeling on the ground.

'For a bunch of fakes, they sure know how to make a face.' Kisuke wanted to chuckle but stopped himself.

But what Amaterasu did next made everyone's mind blank as a blade of light suddenly extended from the tips of her fingers and swiped at one of her children's neck, severing it and sending it flying.

Though before everyone could react fully, the severed head suddenly suspended itself midair and as if tracing back time, it slowly floated back to the child's body and the wound on his neck healed. As fast as it was severed, it also reattached the same way.

"Geez... Amaterasu-sama. If you're going to do that, please at least give me a warning." Complained the child while touching his neck and turning his head sideways multiple times, "I'm still not very used to the feeling of dying."

Seeing this, Yoruichi sent a telepathic message to the group, [That's technically an undead, isn't it?]

[Correct.] Kisuke replied back, [If I were to compare it to something, they are technically similar to the revived Evil Dragons. The difference is, they don't own their souls anymore and are basically empty husks of the original.]

[They don't own their own souls?] Serafall asked.

[You'll understand it more if I say that's similar to Kokabiel's legion, right?]

Serafall thought back to the disgusting Fallen Angel and her face visibly curled, [...Really?]

[It's much worse than that since Amaterasu absorbed the souls and made them her own to serve as nourishment.] Kisuke's eyes then sharpened and a bit of his killing intent leaked out, [And from the looks of it, she wasn't alone.]

Amaterasu felt his killing intent and frowned but Chaos raised his hand in front of her to stop any action from her, "Go back and help the other areas first."

Loving their children or not, they all have different reasons to join Chaos and if it could be pinned on one thing, it's the stability of the winning side. They know Chaos' power and not just the impossibility of defeating him, they are powerless with Heaven's system still restricting them.

Not even half an hour later, the place became divided and the majority of the Deities accepted Chaos' offer. Zeus wanted to retaliate against these people but he could only retract the shield he was protecting them with. Even then, Chaos would just take back the pressure he is exerting on them and their children.

The children themselves have no idea what's happening as this is beyond the scope of their knowledge but many of them were excited at the prospect of eternal life and the power of a God, making them fully supportive of their Deities.

Chaos didn't wait anymore and transported everyone who agreed away, leaving only just more than ten of the Deities of the hundred that were present earlier, which made the previous noisy base barren, leaving only behind the disagreeing Deities, their children, and the left alone Xenos.

Chaos could remove these remaining people and the three old Gods got ready to risk their lives to save the remaining people here. But before he did, Chaos turned his attention back to the foreigners, "If you want to leave, I'm sorry but the contract only allows the host of the tiger. However, I appreciate your strength and ingenuity so I'm offering you one of the highest positions on my side."

Kisuke sneered at him and said, "And what? Kill us the moment we got closer? You, coward, didn't expect that we'd be able to defeat Tiamat and were planning to finish the job after we tire her. But we actually did it so we're a threat to you now. And more than so because we are inhabitants of the world you are eyeing."

Kisuke was just guessing but he hit the mark. But unlike what he's expecting, Chaos sees Serafall as a bigger threat than him because of her ability to seal and dominate the black mud. So when they let their guard down, he was actually planning to assassinate Serafall.

A vein popped on Chaos' head the moment Kisuke called him a coward and decided to reveal his real intentions, "Is that so? That's a shame. Death to you then."

Chaos' arm transformed into a giant black grotesque beast and lunged itself at Kisuke's group. But before it could approach, someone came out from one of the tents, "Not on my watch."

A dome of golden light was instantly erected that covered the whole base and the moment the Chaos' arm touched it, it was burned into nothingness.

Everyone turned to see who did this and saw Hestia, releasing a multi-colored light and fully displaying her Divinity, "This is my 'home' and you're not to step in it without my permission."

Chaos took back his arm and it returned to normal while clicking his tongue, "The Hearth, huh? An annoying thing came out."

Hestia's dome then slowly expanded, "If you still insist on intruding, then you'd have to go through my dead body."
