Chapter 2405: Dark Forest.
An angel is a high valuable subordinate. The death of one is something significant to him. If he doesn’t protect his subordinates, other gods will think it is alright to kill them.
Unfortunately for him, the god of disaster has disappeared. It appears that the god of disaster realized that he was in danger and ran for his life, but that is only partially so.
Gods usually keep themselves hidden and rarely act with their true body. They hid themselves and rarely did anything for fear of being eaten by others.
Everyone worships and fears gods, but very few know that living is not easy for gods either. To gods, this world is a dark forest filled with predators. Surviving in this kind of world requires caution as well as power.
Caution is very important in this dark forest because the first person to show themselves will be besieged and consumed by the other people in the dark forest. So even without him being free, the god of disaster would have kept his true body hidden.
An example of what will happen if the location of a god is known to everyone is what just happened to him. His location is known to everyone, so many gods can band together against him.
He suspects that this is why he was forced to seal the Ocean of Blood for so long. It is either the person who forced him to do so wanted everyone to do their dirty job for them and kill him, or that person was using him as bait to hook someone else that they wanted.
He has many thoughts about who the person who sabotaged him could be. After all, he has had many years to think about it.
If the person wanted to force him to die by putting him in a situation where everyone knows where he is, the people whom he most suspects are the god of error and the god of disaster, as they are the ones who are going to benefit the most from his death.
He suspects the god of error the most because his divine abilities and authority can allow him to do something like that.
The bad news is that the god of error can usurp the divine position and identity of any god. So the god of error can be any god, and he wouldn’t be able to find him.
But if the person who had restricted him did so in order to turn him into bait to catch someone else, then the person could be anyone.
If he is truly bait, he suspects that he was used as bait to catch the god of nobles. So the perpetrator could be the god of power.
This is highly likely since the god of power also has the ability to force him to seal the Ocean of Blood. But there could be other people or even groups of people that worked against him.
He can’t be sure who the person who restricted him is. The only thing he can be sure of is that the person is strong but not much stronger than him because the restriction could be broken by him.
His situation wasn’t entirely hopeless, as he could have broken the restriction on his own. He could have used brute force to escape, but it would have required a heavy sacrifice on his part that would have left him weakened.
The only reason he had survived having the location of his body known was that he was strong enough to put up a fight. His power made it discouraging for his enemies to try to kill him because they too would be weakened after the fight and would become easy pickings for other gods.
But if his location was known and he was also in a weakened state, it would become very easy to kill him, and he surely wouldn’t have survived the thousands of years in his weakened state.
His only viable choice was to slowly break the seal by growing stronger over time. After a while, he would have broken free from the restrictions.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to break the restrictions himself because the god of nobles wanted to get the authority of the pathway of knights from him.
Once he became free, the gods that were hanging around looking to see if they could take advantage of him disappeared. Even the god of disaster didn’t dare show up with his avatar.
The more he thought of these things, the more amused the god of justice became.
He said, "Since you are all hell-bent on hiding, I will just smoke you out."
He decided to put pressure on the god of disaster and his other enemies by slowly cooking them until they are forced to show themselves. The best way to do that is to target their anchors and faith.
So he sent a decree to his kingdom on earth to prepare the judges for a war. His eyes were fixed on the Wessex kingdom as he did so.
In other parts of the world, the impact of the freedom of the god of justice caused waves of motions and schemes to be put in place.
In the case of the half-god of killing, he doesn’t know if he should be happy or not. On the one hand, the freedom of the Ocean of Blood filled him with joy. On the other hand, the freedom of the god of justice filled him with dread.
Now that the Ocean of Blood is free, he won’t need to fight the god of justice in order to acquire it. All he needs is a complete body, and he will be able to return to his rightful position as the god of killing.
In order to get the body he needs, he will have to possess a complete angel of killing or find the parts of his true body and put them back together again. Both options are not easy to meet currently.
