The Gods amongst the skies, the Bright Gods, all sensed the presence of Kireina who had descended into another world as an otherworldly invader.

??

Although the moment that she was added into Kritias System, such alerts that the Origin Core released were greatly lessened.

However, the Gods had already sensed her existence.

Although all of them didn't seem to know her true intentions, powers, nor origin, they became wary of such a being, and even sensed her presence within the continent of Anir's Hands, where their precious humans inhabited.

Bestellen, who was currently resting to regain power, opened his golden eyes with concern and bewilderment, getting up from his bed and moving through the vast Divine Realm where he and the other Bright Gods lived.

Although only Uphy, the Goddess of Fire and the Sun was currently active within the main Divine Realm that oversaw the Continent, while the rest of the Bright Gods were distributed around the continent and the surrounding seas, some rested, while others worked hard to fend off corrupted miasma that was trying to affect the human continent.

Kesheia, the Goddess of Life and Day, was currently busy alongside her many dozens of subordinate gods, trying to cleanse the seas of the continent while fending off this corrupted miasma, as if it were to hit the continent, it would most likely provoke large catastrophes, such as new dungeons popping up one after another, and most of the wild animals turning into ferocious high ranked monsters.

However, due to the recent events of such being descending into the world, three more Bright Gods and their closes subordinate Gods gathered within the Divine Realm, where Bestellen had called them for a small meeting.

A handsome and tall man, with fair blueish skin, fish-like scales around his neck, shoulders, and hands, long azure hair that resembled the waves of the ocean, and shining aquamarine eyes sat down on a throne, he was Rhalorr, the God of Water and Oceans. His face was often expressionless, and he held an immense seriousness, akin to Bestellen in his presence, scaring Uphy a bit.

To Uphy's left, there was a beautiful young girl with shiny yellow eyes, hair that seemed to be made of pure golden thunder, and brown, almost golden skin, she had the physique of a little girl, but her size was as big as the other gods, she held a gentle and almost playful smile, and her eyes were very big, making her look innocent amongst the serious gods, the girl wore a simple dress made out of beautiful white and silky fabric, she was Phunana, the Goddess of Thunder and Weather.

And to Uphy's right, there was another handsome man with long hair that seemed to be made of constantly twisting emerald winds, his skin was pale white, and his eyes flashed with emerald colors, he wore a simple toga, revealing his beautiful muscles. He looked as young and handsome as Rhalorr, but he held a more relaxed expression, and always had his eyes mildly closed, his atmosphere was that of greatness but also harmony, he was Chaneyr, the God of Wind and the Sky.

All of the Bright Gods that could move as of now gathered around Bestellen, while the rest were sealed down by the Demon God-King, unable to meet with the rest of their siblings.

Amongst the Bright Gods, there were tiny humanoid figures of all colors and shapes, they were their subordinate Gods, who all mostly held similar sizes to mortals, as most of them once were mortals.

However, Bright Gods and Dark Gods, unlike the Subordinate Gods, held great sizes, none of them was smaller than seventy meters tall, which was Phunana.

Rhalorr was around 85 meters, Uphy was 80, and Chaneyr was 90… Meanwhile, Bestellen stood at 95, being the tallest amongst the Bright Gods, only beat by Razdall, the Dark God of Darkness and Sins.

With such enormous presences, the Subordinate Gods could not help but feel slightly overwhelmed, it has been hundreds of years since so many Bright Gods gathered all together in a meeting…

"Ah, I'm a bit nervous…" muttered Uphy, as Vulcan heard her quite clearly, floating at her side.

"Uphy-sama, this is a very important meeting, so please, please, stay serious…" said Vulcan.

"Yeah, yeah… I know, no need to remind me," muttered Uphy with an annoyed expression, she was always being corrected by Vulcan, but God was simply just as nervous as her and wanted her to have a good impression on the siblings she hasn't seen in a while since… everything broke down.

"Oh my, Uphy, you look just as radiant as ever… it is a pity that Kesheia couldn't come today, you two will always shine the brightest," said Chaneyr, praising Uphy while also greeting her.

"C-Chaneyr, it has been a while… you look… just as… windy as ever?" said Uphy.

"Haha! Just as funny as always!" laughed Chaneyr.

"Would you mind your manners? Our brother has gathered us here to speak about very serious issues, not to talk like immature children about pointless things," said Rhalorr, his sharp eyes almost breaking through Uphy and Chaneyr's spirits… his serious stare was way too strong.

"Come on, Rhalorr, don't tell me you didn't miss us? We are all siblings after all. I personally missed everyone, how are you all doing?" asked Phunana with a gentle yet strong voice, despite her size, she was rather strong-willed.

"Phunana-nee-sama, it has been really a while… I've been quite fine so far…" said Uphy.

"Yeah, everything has been alright," said Chaneyr.

"Alright, you say? Just a few dozen years ago we had a skirmish against the Dark Gods, and you say we are doing alright? Where are you living? How disconnected are you from this world? Several of our subordinate Gods and Divine Spirits are wounded, and you talk as if nothing has been happening lately…" said Rhalorr with great anger, he seemed to be most frustrated over such a fight, which had undergone in the middle of the ocean that connected both the demon continents and the human continent. Most of his own Subordinate Gods and Divine Spirits had to fight, and many ended greatly wounded.

"The fight against the Beast-kin Gods group, you mean? Quite surprising that those 'inferior beasts' as you call them put such a fight, changed your mind?" asked Phunana with a smug expression. She was of the faction of Bright Gods, but her bravery and shamelessness were enormous, to the point that she openly asked something very triggering to her brother.

"Never! Those inferior beings do not even deserve to become Gods… I wish I could purge them out of this world… But because we are here now, that's obviously not possible yet…" said Rhalorr with a frustrated expression.

"Oof, that might have hit a bit too deep…" said Phunana with a bitter smile, as one of her subordinate gods, a beautiful, two-meter-tall Amazon-like woman with brown skin and blonde hair spoke to her silently.

"Phunana-sama, please, mind your words with your siblings… Don't try to make up a fight…" she said.

Phunana simply ignored her subordinate goddess, despite falling a bit silent while giving a bitter smile to her other siblings.

Uphy and Chaneyr could not help but agree with her in the thoughts she had, all three of them were rather different-minded than Bestellen and Rhalorr.

Uphy, Chaneyr, and Phunana could not help but find this whole ordeal quite pointless, but because they were forced to become part of the Bright Gods factions by their siblings, they didn't have much of an option, even more as whenever they tried to go to the Demon Continents, they would be greeted by the attacks of their siblings, who feared them as enemies due to Bestellen's manipulation, who had stated that they were allies of humanity and abhorred demons and beastmen.

"A-Anyways, Bestellen, why are you so silent? Do you like to hear us discuss?" asked Chaneyr with a bitter smile, breaking the ice in the tense atmosphere.

Bestellen, who had his eyes closed the whole time his siblings discussed, opened them, giving a bright flash of golden light… Bestellen had the appearance of a strong old man, with an enormous and muscular body, and a long white beard and hair, he had an even sharper glare than Rhalorr, and his presence was so majestic that an arc of light emerged from his back, illuminating the entire place with his splendor.

To his left side, a goddess was holding a balance, while having her eyes covered in a cloth and possessing long, angelic wings, and to his right side, there was a wise old man with blonde hair and beard, holding a sacred book.

These two gods were the closest Subordinate Gods of Bestellen, Astraea, the Goddess of Balance and Justice, and Forohr, the God of Laws and Order.

They stood silent, until Bestellen opened his eyes as if communicating instead of him.

"Bright Gods, our lord has made up this meeting for this special occasion, due to the appearance of an unwanted visitor that violates the balance of Kritias," said Astraea, with a firm tone.

"Our lord has been meditating up until now due to his weakened state, and through this meditation, he had gathered information through the accumulated information sent to him by the prayers of his believers," said Forohr.

"Ahem, there is no need to speak for me anymore, Astraea, Forohr, I can speak by myself, do not worry…" said Bestellen, his subordinate Gods would often speak for him, as they believed that Bestellen should not waste precious energy speaking for things that they could easily communicate for him.

"I have seen many things my entire life, but I had never thought that one day there would be unwanted visitors from another world coming directly to our home… I am well aware of the accursed race of demons that can summon beings of other worlds, but if this being triggered such a response from the Origin Core of Kritias, it must have been above the ordinary…" said Bestellen.
