Chapter 1120 The Supreme Pantheon
Chapter 1120 The Supreme Pantheon
The faces of all the present True Gods changed greatly. Justicar and Gabriel especially seemed troubled, especially Gabriel when she glanced at Draco. Her previous fury and doubts were nowhere to be found, only genuine worry.
Even though she was not happy that she was worried, her mind did not to resist it because this was not the time for childish games. If there was a summons by the Supreme Council, it was usually not entirely something good, especially given the situation.
However, Draco glanced at her and smiled reassuringly. Seeing that smile, Gabriel's heart pumped crazily while her blood flow increased. She felt like her body was becoming hot and her clothes were slightly annoying, constricting her.
She shook her head with horror at such thoughts, as her right hand had snaked to her collar to pull it down slightly. She created distance between herself and Draco immediately while glaring at him as if he were a thief.
Draco could only laugh with amusement, but his laughter did not continue for long as he noticed that the other True Gods began rushing back through the portal. Meanwhile, a few angels and Justicar himself had surrounded him at some point, a look of restrained hostility in their eyes.
Draco glanced at them and pondered whether to resist. However, he wanted to see how things would play out from here first and foremost, so he shrugged and followed them group into a nearby portal that led back to the Supreme city.
Gabriel watched this with a complex look in her eye. She struggled with herself, hesitating many times whether she wanted to interfere or not. However, her shoulders slumped once Draco entered the portal and she sighed deeply.
Now, she could only hope for the best…
......…..
Draco was eventually taken into the Supreme Pantheon's church-like building, but he went up and up to the highest floor. Justicar was silent the entire time with a grim expression while the angels kept glancing at Draco strangely.
Other may not have noticed, but they saw their Queen acting coquettishly around him, like a tsundere maiden in love. Knowing how cold she was, they were surprised that any man could make her feel this way.
Were they going to call this fellow their king in the future?
In truth, the angels would normally be able to detect their affiliation with Draco through his bloodline, but it was in a sealed state. So unless Draco activated it himself, no one could necessarily tell that he had a bloodline.
Draco also remained silent as he coaxed Eva and Shuangtian. Eva was furious that they dared to capture someone of his caliber and wanted to raze the entire realm to the ground. Shangtian partially agreed, and felt like despite wanting the three of them to be more reasonable, that didn't mean she wanted just any dog to step over them.
Now that Draco had discovered the value of this realm to players, NPCs were entirely not necessary. Draco could bring up his core members or the normal members of Umbra after they conquer the lower realm and reached the peak of Rank 7.
He could also wait for Eva to finish the training exercises which should see Zaine, Roma and Hikari reach the peak of Rank 7 and ready to become True Gods. Tianzi and Xue'er, the Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor, were already technically True Gods after becoming Immortal Emperors and could be brought here asap.
Draco could entirely repopulated the Divine Realm after dropping a few more moons on the ground to clear the grey rot so why should he care about these defeated NPCs?
Meanwhile, Draco was more calm about it. He liked such confrontations and was interested to see the outcome of this one. He could also use it to learn more about the situations with pantheons and the Divine Realm as a whole.
For one, where the fuck was the Pantheon of Power? Sigurd and his group had not been seen anywhere since he came here. The moment his name appeared in the system, the fellow should have come rushing over while bringing his entire crew.
Also, where was dumbass Sunna? Where was Flashflame, that funny guy? On the lower plane, it seemed like these fellows had endless free time to come and pester them as well as watch their antics. Sunna had even interfered directly many times.
With the way Draco had seen things since he got here, Sunna shouldn't have even had the time to sleep well, much less torment Eva. Also, where was that Kilobar guy, the Divine Envoy they sent down to make a deal with him about his Ultima Sunt characteristic back then?
Most importantly, and this was something the trio had been speculating endless since Draco got here, where the heck where the True gods that were forced into this place from the newly added mapped zones that came with Update 3?
When Draco went to their empires, he found that they had forcibly been whisked away somewhere, and that somewhere was the Divine Realm to help against the grey rot. Such a magnitude of True Gods could easily dwarf the entire number he had seen from the Supreme City so far, so where were they?
Hehe, could it be that the Supreme City was not the real last bastion of the Divine Realm?
More importantly, if this was true… did the upper echelon of the Supreme Pantheon know or not?
Draco's eyes narrowed. He felt like this summons were going to be very, very interesting…
Soon, he was led to a small side door which was knocked on by Justicar. The door was opened by two angels who wore golden white clothes, and the angels who led him here had reverent looks on their faces as they glanced at these two.
.com "Divine Guards, I have brought the True God who caused the fallout in the Withered Plains. Please receive him." Justicar reported in a grim tone.
The two angels glanced at Draco and nodded. "Acknowledged, you all may leave."
The group turned and left. The other angels glanced at Draco a few times but Justicar never did not even once. He seemed very hard to try and distance himself from Draco, as if he had an idea of what his outcome would be.
"Follow us." The two angels spoke softly as they gestured for Draco to enter.
Draco obliged and walked with them through a comfortable and carpeted passage that had a few checkpoints manned by similar angels who seemed to be of a higher rank. They all acknowledged the two receiving him.
As they got closer to the exist, Draco could hear a low roar, like that of a large crowd in a confined space that were chattering. Draco perked his ears up, but there was no real need to.
They came upon a set of double doors that were pushed open, and immediately, the low noise became loud as it smacked the group in the face. The angels walked forward unperturbed and so did Draco, revealing himself to be walking on a straight carpeted path that led to a dais with a stand.
Draco looked around to see that he was in a huge chamber that was large like that of a church's prayer hall. To the left, right and lined up by the door where he entered, there were rows and rows of seats that formed the gallery.
Thousands of True Gods separated by the rank of their law sat there. Those at the basic rank were at the highest rows while those after were arranged lower and lower. However, this ended at the Master Law, who were at the bottom row and were right beside Draco.
In front of Draco, opposite the dais, where another row of seats. However there were far more individualistic and styled, with tables that were adorned with livery. The bottom floor had 40 people, all True Gods with a law at the True Law stage.
The row above that had True Gods with a Divine Law. They numbered only 17 and their races varied. Most of them wore battle equipment that were worn, showing that they were likely at the battlefront fighting all this while.
Above that was a row with 9 fellows, all True Gods with an Ultimate Law. They were also garbed in warrior attires, and their gazes were sharp.
Finally, the row above was reserved for only 5 people, the most powerful true gods of the pantheon who formed their elite backbone, the True gods with a Supreme Law. Among the 5 were Gabriel who looked troubled, Ulido who was frowning and Justicar who had a cold expression.
The other two were a young man with blazing blue eyes that seemed to speak of all the water in the world. He wore a set of scaly blue armor that covered his body, and his features starkly resembled Omega Raider.
｢Name: Poseidon – True God
Level: Law of True Water (Supreme)
Divine Energy: 78%/100%.｣
The other one was rather surprising, an actual Dragon! Or no, it was rather a half-dragon half human hybrid, a dragonman! He had the shape of a human as well as the general height and build of one, but his face and body were that of a dragon's.
He had claws form hands and legs, as well as two draconic wings at his back that were folded. His scales were colored green while his eyes shone with a violet hue.
｢Name: Luther – True God
Level: Law of Sparkling Emerald (Supreme)
Divine Energy: 99%/100%.｣
After ascertaining the area, he was led to the dais slowly while the chatter in the room came to a halt as all eyes bore onto Draco. Even having a thousand normal people focusing on you was enough to make you feel like your body was being scorched by their gazes, much less so many True Gods.
Their gazes seemed to be infused with their laws and caused the area to warp, making even the two angels who led Draco began to sweat as their knees wobbled. Meanwhile, Draco felt nothing, but his eye glinted.
Immediately, he wantonly released his won aura that swept through the whole chamber. It shattered the cumulative aura of the other true god and caused many to scream in agony. Many of the True Gods below the true law rank spat blood, and the lower the rank the worse their injuries.
Those at the True Law rank and above became pale, while the five at the top felt a hint of suppressive threat that made their expressions become solemn.
Immediately, all the True Gods were filled with fear and did not dare to cause trouble anymore, while they also became wary of Draco. The two angels who were suffering were suddenly freed and they couldest help but feel grateful towards Draco.
Gabriel also saw this and her eyes softened. After all, the angels were her subjects and Draco's actions could be seen as helping them, and helping her.
However, if they angels and Gabriel knew that Draco only did this because he saw the angels as his own property - or more precisely, Eva's property - how would they feel?
Even Gabriel herself was Eva's property. Draco could forcefully block her for a while, but soon Eva would have her way. Gabriel was destined to be captured by Eva in the end unless she found a way out.
"Enough! Let there be order in the Council Chamber!" Justicar roared as he also spread his aura out to quell everything.
Draco did not want to cause conflict just yet, so he let Justicar 'suppress' him and retracted his aura. He eventually stood on the dais with a casual lean on the stand, smiling at the True Gods around him as if he was a bystander.
Many of the True Gods were amazed and very amused. They wished they could have the courage and ballsiness of this fellow, but they were too entrenched in the system to dare.
That, of course, was why no one would remember their name.
