章節 90: Resolving The War Part 1

In the sky, where the Gremory Compound resided, before Indra erased it at the start of the war, Chojusen and the important powerhouses who contributed to the war appeared. Chojusen looked at the ground that still burning with unrelenting god flames and his eyes took on a deep brown glow. For hundreds of thousands of kilometers, everything was covered in a dome of earth laws, that could be used by Chojusen to do whatever he pleased. This was the effect of the Elemental Creation Skill at the True God level; Chojusen could now create domains of laws.

Since the affected area of Indra's blast only covered a couple thousand kilometers, it didn't take long for Chojusen to restore the ground to normal with his earth law domain. A change in his eyes to Yin and Yang, and buildings started to manifest out of thin air. Chojusen took it a step further and even changed the air to be as pure and clean as possible.

In less than a minute, the entire territory of the Gremory Clan had been restored to its condition before the invasion of gods; to say nothing of the Gremory Compound. Chojusen stood in the air for a while, causing everyone to look at him with wonder. They all wanted to know why he was stalling them, so Sirzechs said "Uh… What do we do know?"

Chojusen gave Sirzechs a goofy smile and said "I'm not a rude guest. I haven't been invited, so I'm waiting for you."

Chojusen… was a bit too ridiculous. What? Waiting for Sirzechs to invite him? Aren't you the host? Didn't you just reform this wasteland into a meeting ground for us? What was that random switch up in personality? Where was the serious and unrelenting Chojusen that had stuck around for weeks training? This change was made even more apparent after the display Chojusen gave in the Dimensional Gap and right now, after reforming the Gremory Estate.

Sirzechs didn't feel like testing Chojusen, so he invited everyone into his house and led them to a large meeting room; even though Chojusen had just reformed the house, Sirzechs noticed that the interior was exactly like it had been before Indra vaporized it. Before starting the discussion Chojusen noticed Ophis and her… odd attire; she was dressed like a Gothic loli, but there were pasties in the shape of Xs covering her exposed upper torso.

He introduced himself to her "Hi, I'm Chojusen. And you are?"

"Ophis, Ouroboros Dragon."

"Uh… ok? So, why are you on our side again?"

"That stupid red dragon you caught was my enemy. You were his enemy, so that made you my ally."

"..." That was a very simple way of thinking about the situation, but it was naive beyond reasoning. Chojusen got to know a bit more about Ophis, then turned the meeting into the real discussion.

Sirzechs said "After being attacked by the Hindu, Greek, Norse, and Chinese pantheons as well as a couple other factions across all the pantheons, how do we go about dealing with the remaining minions?"

Lord Phoenix jumped in. He said "Kill them all! Those fucking ingrates dared to go after my son-in-law's life? DEAD! I want their souls extinguished!!!"

Sirzechs had black lines spawn on his face. He thought to himself 'Does this idiot not realize that doing that would effectively destroy human civilization as we know it? Does he not know where all the faith energy these deities generated go after they died? It would bring about an apocalypse!'

Serafall was the voice of reason. She said "I don't we should kill them outright. At least not until erase their marks on human religion."

Sirzechs said "Right, right. Don't go killing off gods before we figure out how to stop them from gaining faith energy."

As the three debated whether to kill off the enemy gods, Chojusen and the people from his original universe had no idea what was happening; it made sense since their world had no Demigods or True Gods that cultivated faith energy. Only Chojusen had a some amount of knowledge regarding faith energy; since he started receiving it in a consistent basis from Asia…

Chojusen asked "What's the problem?"

Serafall said "Oh right. We've never told you about faith energy. So faith energy..." She went on a long but informative tangent on what faith energy did until she said "However, for all the positives faith energy has, it is a very dangerous source of energy as there needs to be a target receiving it.

If say, we killed Indra right now, people would still be devout believers in him and he would still be a source generating energy. But because he's dead, the energy has nowhere to go except for his will. Anyone can die, even gods. Souls are the same, they can be snuffed out or shatter. However, a will is eternal no matter if the person we're talking about is a mortal or a god.

Do you think a dead god's will can remain stable with no soul or living body to contain it? The answer is no. Records say that even True Gods can't control their will perfectly, should they die. So, upon killing Indra he would basically become an immortal will running around, unstable because of all the faith energy people are giving him. His will shall remain unfettered by whatever you do and will basically be a floating calamity until either he stops getting faith energy, or he kills everything giving him faith energy."

"Uh… isn't this a problem? Haven't we already killed of two demigods?"

"Well, it only becomes an issue if we kill him like this idiot keeps yelling on about. As long as their souls are not destroyed, they can be controlled to not receive faith energy."

Chojusen took a quick peek at his Omniseal Unlock's Compendium of Seals, and found that there were quite a few seals that could seal up shattered souls. They weren't that hard to conjure up especially since there was one in particular that used Space and Time Laws; Chojusen's signature as a Fiendgod/Chaosfiend were his absurd Space and Time Powers in particular.

Chojusen lifted his finger and a white flame decorated the tip. He drew the character for "will" in the air, and materialized some paper to attach the seal. With a complete seal, he gave it to Sirzechs and asked "Could this seal up a shattered soul's will?"

Sirzechs to the paper from Chojusen's hand as was about to even reject the notion that something could seal up a will. However, just touching the seal caused him to feel danger coming from his very soul, so he decided to take a deeper look. Being a demigod of destruction didn't make Sirzechs an expert on seals, but he did know a bit more about wills and souls than a regular demigod.

So, after probing and testing the seal he had been given by Chojusen, Sirzechs couldn't say for sure that the seal would work on wills, but he could confirm that it was the most sophisticated seal for interacting with the incorporeal that he had ever seen.

Since even Sirzechs couldn't say for certain that the seal would work on demigod level wills, it was decided to not kill off all the demigod experts; just in case their souls shattered.

The first thing Chojusen did now, was to shove his hands into the void and pull out Loki and Poseidon's souls. He didn't immediately seal them up, as he thought they might be useful for the upcoming talk about punishment.

So, as the two demigods' souls floated in the air next to Chojusen, the latter started to pull out demigod and Super Class beings left and right. Everyone that had been captured by Chojusen had entered the Super Class. Therefore, they were weak enough for his Space and/or Time Lock to hold them indefinitely.

Chojusen took out the frozen army of enemies and unfroze them one by one when it was their turn to receive "judgement." Chojusen did things this way because he thought they were the most efficient way about formally ending the war. However, he felt more than uncomfortable with the way this situation looked and felt.

He was a "True God" surrounded by twelve demigods holding a makeshift "court" to judge the sinners of the war. Mhmm? Something seemed familiar, almost like history was repeating itself. Chojusen felt that he should stop this kind of behavior now before he developed a fully fleshed out God Complex; but then again, he was a fully fleshed god…

As Chojusen was internally reconciling with the current situation, Sirzechs asked him "Could you start unsealing the enemy gods?"

Chojusen snapped out of his thoughts and started with Indra. By now, with a demigod's restorative properties, all the demigods were more or less fully healed; aside from the restriction seals Chojusen placed on their energy source. So, when Indra unfroze, he looked like he hadn't come from a battle that ended planets and stars alike.
