GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

"Razor had claimed that the demon invaded the plane because his mother made a deal with it. She assisted the demon in spreading the disease while keeping it hidden from other gods. That's why there were no divine traces for the Origin of the disease and why it was strong enough to affect gods."

Jarkon nodded. "It is possible. There are demons of pestilence and weakness. So the disease might be a combination of both."

The priest nodded in agreement and continued, "She didn't do anything helpful when people were dying over the plane. Instead, she gave the gods false information to misdirect them. Then she waited until her son becweakened before she killed him and took his title."

"That is so diabolical," DOUBLELINE exclaimed. "A mother killed her son for power."

The priest snorted. "Don't forget that she caused the death of hundreds of billions of people too."

The others were surprised and shocked too. They too had a child of the plane and many people were against him. Many people wanted to kill him too but certainly not his parents. They can't believe that a mother would schto kill her child at the detriment of the people of the plane.

The priest wept and lamented, "We have suffered."

Even Jarkon was sympathetic. He nodded in agreement. "You have truly suffered. It is a calamity to have a Celestial Suprwith such disregard for lives."

ALUINE spoke. "Most gods have a disregard for lives. They are selfish parasites."

Then he sighed in relief, "It is a good thing we killed all the gods in our plane."

"No. It is a good thing that we have the racial council. They were the ones that banned gods and finally killed all of them."

"If our plane had this Kilorita she would have faced terrible retribution for her actions. She deserves to be punished for killing her son who was the hope of the plane and for causing the deaths of so many people."

The priest felt his heart stop beating and his scalp start tingling when he heard what they said. He hates the Celestial Suprbecause the Celestial he worships hates her. But that doesn't change the fact that Kilorita is the strongest in the plane.

It also doesn't change the fact the gods are proud and don't like people disrespecting them. If his Celestial hears what they are saying, Kilorita won't even have to make a move for him to die.

So he hurriedly changed the subject, "That isn't all of her crimes. She tried to kill the only god who could expose her. She created a storm of lightning over the plane and used it as cover to attack the city belonging to the Celestial of Knowledge. She destroyed his city and demolished his foundation of strength. She didn't kill him directly but crippled him. When asked, she claimed she was fighting the root of the disease and that it had hidden in his city."

"Can you believe her? She made up an unknown disease. No one could see this disease. It could even affect gods. Gods died and their godhoods disappeared but there were no new gods. Their godhoods disappeared as if consumed. That's the proof that it was caused by a demon. But we didn't suspect her then. But then she also tried to get rid of other Celestials."

SWIFTESCAPE added with a sneer, "Maybe the gods suspected her in the first place. But they didn't do anything because they cared too much about their faith. Disasters increase faith so they chose to turn a blind eye to it."

The priest finally couldn't take it anymore. He rebuked with a high-pitched voice as if he were a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Watch your tongue blasphemer."

"The ways of the gods are mysterious. We can't fathom their thoughts or understand their actions. We are both lowly beings who were created to serve them with our all."

The battle sage monkeys didn't agree but they didn't bother to argue with a zealot.

The priest said stubbornly, "The gods did suspect her when she wouldn't tell them the identity of the child of the plane. But there was no proof to accuse her. All you need to know is that she was very smart. She used Malekite as a cover to start the invasion and the gods have been resisting her ever since it was confirmed that she was working with a demon."

Jarkon asked, "So in summary, the Celestial Suprmade up a disease that no one could see or identify in order to gain strength. Then she tried to silence the other god who suspected that the disease was the work of a god. Is that all?"

The priest raised his voice, "That isn't all. If the gods hadn't banded together to save the Celestial of knowledge, he would have been killed that day. They confronted her about it but she fought them off and declared that she is Suprforever and doesn't have to explain herself to them. It was then that they created the freedom fighters to leave the plane to seek help."

"Praise be the gods. You have arrived now which shows the incredible foresight of the gods. You must help us. The Celestial Supris an evil that must be eliminated."

The battle sage monkeys are mostly convinced. They suspect sthings are true about the information they have acquired but they are also sure that the story has been twisted. What they are certain of is that there was an invader and it is most likely a demon. That's one of the reasons why a child of the plane will be selected.

They are also sure that the Celestial has grown stronger and she is suppressing the other Celestials. It is either that or the Celestials are lying about that. But all of that doesn't concern them. What concerns them is the aura of Soverick that they can sense all over the plane in the zombies. Unfortunately, they can't find the source of this aura anywhere in the plane.
