BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250 Diserian System
"You have now become The Malkim." Matthias responded without gazing at the former Heavenly King.
"You mean.." Cane, having always been at the side of Matthias, was of course, ever so slightly familiar to the term. Without even answering his advisor, Matthias continued.
"Beings made solely to combat against the Eldritch Spawns. Your punishment is eliminating them and only that, for the rest of your lives. Emotions stripped out of you, the only feeling you would be able to experience is the wounds that would be inflicted upon you and the soul-wrenching feeling of melancholy and loneliness."
After saying that, Matthias waved his hand. Instantly, the millions of Ourani and their leader vanished from the Divine Capital, dispersed throughout the First Rim.
Lazarus later stepped forward and asked, "Is that enough punishment for what they have done, Your Majesty?"
Matthias, looking past the distant horizon, replied to his subject with calmness, "No."
"Then, why?"
"Because we are in turbulent times, Lazarus." Answering, Matthias finally turned towards Lazarus. "As this occurred, it is clear to us the graveness of the Eldritch matter."
"They can infiltrate our ranks at any given moment, no one would be safe. As the Divine Emperor, Sovereign of Heaven, it is my duty to ensure that my subjects are safe. That would also mean that I wouldn\'t be able to leave this realm." Matthias sighed, looking at the vast realm around him. He then looked beyond it, to the place he once called "Home".
Realms away, within the new Matheon Galaxy..
The Divine Children sat in front of a round table, seemingly waiting for something. Surrounding them was an antique-looking room made into a bar. There were plants, some coffee machines, bookshelves, and a window with a grandiose heavenly sight on the other side.
If Matthias was here, he would immediately recognise it for it was the café that his purest daughter occupied.
A while later, Bai Xia, holding a tray with nine leaf green teacups and a dainty little porcelain teapot.
"I\'m sorry for taking so long, everyone." Bai Xia apologized with her lovely voice as she placed the tray down on the table.
"Wah.." Han Zhuang exhaled with sheer amazement, "Father has told me a lot about you, Sister Xia, but he definitely undervalued you! Such injustice, Father did."
Hearing such a compliment that deprecated their father, Bai Xia faintly chuckled, "You know Father could possibly hear you even from afar, correct?" She reminded him.
Thinking about it, Han Zhuang\'s eyes widened and immediately covered his mouth.
Bai Xia could only laugh at her brother\'s realization. Seconds later, a man arrived, walking towards them, or rather, to Bai Xia. "I\'m here, my love." He said as he hugged her from the back and kissed her nape.
"Alright, alright, Denos. There are guests." Bai Xia, blushing, tapped Denos\' hands that wrapped her from behind and said to him.
"Hmm?" Denos pouted as he unwrapped his arms around her, "You called me by my name?" He whined like a child denied of something he wants.
"Love, there are guests here. You\'re being unbecoming, considering your status." Bai Xia scolded him softly.
"They\'re not guests, love." Denos replied, "They\'re your siblings, and my in-laws. It\'s a given that they know our relationship." He smiled sweetly.
"Still!" Bai Xia chided loudly, but with her angelic voice, it only sounded like she talked like a normal person. Suddenly, her anger ceased as a hand abruptly patted her head.
"There, there." Comforted Denos, "You don\'t need to be angry. I\'m sorry. Can you forgive me?" He asked with cute, pleading eyes. Seeing those eyes that she loves, Bai Xia softened.
"Ughh, just get a room already!" Mackenzie groaned, tired of them being all lovey-dovey. The two stopped, looked at Mackenzie teasingly and replied, "Okay, Missus Lazarus!"
Hearing herself being called "Missus Lazarus", Mackenzie\'s cheeks reddened as they puffed, "Ughh, you two!" The two only laughed because their teasing worked.
As Lazarus\' wife, Mackenzie oftentimes visits the Divine Kingdom which was connected to the Matheon Galaxy even after it was pulled to merge with The Divine Heaven. As a result, she was the sibling who had the longest time being together with Denos and Bai Xia who was currently one of the superiors of the galaxy.
Denos sat together with the siblings, while Bai Xia poured tea for them. As she was doing so, Denos finally asked, "Mackenzie herself only visits here if she has time, and you all definitely wouldn\'t be allowed to leave Divine Heaven without even one of you being left there, especially Alexander since I have heard that you have now become the acting Emperor of Divine Heaven."
"All of you being here should mean something. Is it because you want to have a vacation? I doubt that."
Alexander nodded, "Your assumption is right, Brother Denos." He replied, "Divine Heaven was attacked by Eldritch Beings, and Father is currently fighting them."
"What?!" The lovers exclaimed with shock. "Is Father alright? Is he injured?" Bai Xia asked worriedly. She was worried so much that she almost slammed the teapot on the table.
"Don\'t worry, Sister Xia." Alexander reassured her, "Considering that they are within his domain, I doubt Father would lose, but he sent us here to accomplish an objective."
"What is it?" Denos inquired with seriousness. As someone who can directly influence the workforces within the galaxy, he holds a huge amount of power within Matheon. "If we can help, we will give all that we can."
"Thank you, Brother Denos." Alexander bowed respectfully towards him before straightening his back up, "Father told us to establish a new Heaven within Matheon to stand as a temporary capital if ever the worst event occurs." Alexander explained.
"Do you have Creation Energy?" Alexander tilted his head in confusion, "To create a divine realm, you would at least need the power of Creation."
Alexander shook his head, "That\'s what our current problem is, Brother." He replied.
Han Jun, who was drinking his cup of tea, finally said, "Father gave us an extremely hard task. Based on my prediction, he\'s likely testing us if we can figure it out ourselves." Saying that, everyone turned silent.
A while later, a woman\'s voice finally broke the silence, "What if we establish our Godship here?" Everyone turned towards where the voice came from; Guin.
"How?" Ray, her son, asked confusedly.
"Just like what your father did before he left Aqiartha, we can establish our godhood here and gain faith from the natives, with it, we can hopefully gain enough faith to create our Heaven." She explained.
"That.." Denos went into deep thinking, ".. it\'s possible." He replied with shining eyes.
"There are several newly formed worlds south of the galaxy due to a battle between two Matheon Gods that caused their energies to merge and create huge bodies of rocks, soil, and moisture floating in space." He explained. Standing up, he slid his hand on the surface of the window, changing what it was showing.
From an Immortal-like landscape, it became that of space. Within that space, different masses of world-shaped celestial bodies could be seen orbiting a blue star. In total, there were ten world-shaped bodies, floating around the nothingness of space.
"With a bit of terraforming and help from the different gods from the pantheon, we could develop it all into a stable living space for mortals." Denos continued, "With a direct order from me and Bai Xia, we can easily accomplish this. The only thing we\'re waiting for is your confirmation. Are you ready to become gods?"
The siblings stood up from their seats to clearly observe the celestial bodies. Alexander, determined to finish the task that their father gave them, smiled with anticipation and replied, "Then, there\'s no time to waste."
As he said this, Denos fished out a coin from his pocket. He then motioned them to follow him.
They then reappeared within the Hall of Knowledge, filled with new books and a greater amount of shelves.
Throwing the coin upwards, Denos shouted, "Orders from the Creator\'s Offsprings, we shall terraform the Diserian System!"
Answering his call, thousands of Overseers, Patrollers, Gods, and Scholars emerged from behind the bookshelves, with their eyes filled with obvious anticipation as they began to plan the task at hand. Together with the Divine Siblings, the creation of a new system that can support life started to go underway.
After planning the structure with the help of the scholars, the other powerful beings started to leave the Hall of Knowledge for the Diserian System to begin terraforming.
Everyone started to work, with the Gods beginning to fix the landscape, create an atmosphere, develop lifeform, migrate bacterias, activating different elements within the land while the Watchers and Patrollers helped on transportation and other things. Days later, someone unexpected arrived, which made the job much faster than ever before.
"Uncles and Aunts!" Mackenzie shouted excitedly
Four people floating through space felt their presence. They flew towards the site and were shocked, "Mackenzie? What\'s all this?"
