Goddess Genesis

Chapter 17: Azura and Rhea

"Rhea. Perhaps we can help each other." Azura said as she washed her back in a magical lake surrounded by many trees with so high they blotted out the sun. They were in lake of the fairies. During the dragon era, fairies also were a common magical species aside from gods thought most are dead, in hiding, or sealed along with the dragons. The lake wasn't very large it was probably only about 20 meters across and 10 meters deep. Considering the ancient history of this place it wasn't a popular location for anyone to visit.

"Help? I thought we agreed to kill a destroyer god?" Rhea remarked with her eyes closed with her arms onto of the ground with only her shoulders above the water as Azura washed ans gave a massage. The goddess chuckles.

"You are powerful, I always respected your strength. At full power in your motherly figure mode, I genuinely do think you can defeat a balancer. Why didn't you use it against Teyza?" Azura tilted her head and washed her hair. Rhea sighed.

"I rather not use that. It's a bit hard on my body. If we can find out a way to win without it, sounds good to me." Rhea closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation.

Azura asks,

"So tell me. How did you aquire that form? It's not a typical power up. Hera has something similar but on a lesser scale. What was it again?" Rhea answers,

"Royal Olympus Queen Mode." Azura lets out a,

"Ahhh.." As she nodded her head.

"Right. You know I never actually understood the point of like transformations. That's why I never had one. Wouldn't it be better to be that strong naturally?" Azura questioned genuinely curious. Rhea just smiles and responds,

"Well transformations are a forcefully thing. Not everyone is as old as others. So getting that strong will take time. They just force you to a higher level. You train to use it briefly to one up your opponent. Why be full power at the start your opponent will know they have nothing else to fear beyond what they see." Rhea explained. Azura let out a

"Hmmm."

"Yea though you and Hera have special transformations. It's not some call to ascension or some armor like Zeus conjures. I wanna know how you obtained it." The goddess asked as she went under the water.

"You get it through the Trials of Horror. Im sure you're aware of Tartarus, our hell equivalent? Yea stupid question but there's a secret place there. Even Hades doesn't bother to go there. I fought the evils there and after I was able to use that form. I named it Motherly figure Mode, representing me as a goddess, and Hera named her's Royal Olympus Queen Mode. I'm a lot stronger than my daughter but when she uses that form I at least can't beat her without transformating as well." The titaness elaborated. Azura teleported out the water and was laying on the ground on her back upside down facing Rhea.

"In that form im stronger than you primordials barely but barely isn't strong enough for something that will just run out before I win. So ultimately still weaker." Rhea said humbly. Azura smiled.

"Think you can sneak me there without Hades noticing?" Azura joked. Rhea climbed out of the water finally and say down with her legs still in the lake dangling.

"Zu, no need to rush. Besides I'd wait a little bit before taking on that place. Even Hera almost died so she had to come with an incomplete transformation. Trust me wait."

A couple hours later

"Woah..." Rhea said in awe. She was in her battle attire that consisted of a red sundress and a red trenchcoat around it with black heels. The beautiful Titan an Azura stood side by side inside the outer outer space. This was the area in-between multiverses where gods of balance and other rogue deities roam. A space behond space if you will. Rhea took a deep breath even though there wasn't any air. She watched the multiverse from the outside for the first time. Rhea was not a primordial so she wasn't there before it was all created. To her it was beautiful and refreshing leave outside it for once and observe the great vast. Azura smiled and had her eyes closed as she let her friend enjoy the moment. It wasn't anything new to Azura however but it was amusing to see someone else react to it. The titan finally spoke,

"Will we be sensed here?" Azura crossed her arms and shook her head eyes still closed.

"This realm is place between multiverses is too large. It's how my multiverse went unchecked for awhile by the judges. In fact at the very bottom of this space lies the realm of chaos." Azura explained. Rhea did not respond.

"I get it. You learn how silly our problems are in the grand scheme of things. Though we cannot be sensed all that well, we can if their is a deity in the vicinity. Just not from anywhere or any distance. Anyway, we're gunna kill a judge." Azura said confidently. Rhea was up for the idea at first but seeing how vast the outer was made her rethink her status in totality. Azura could sense her regret though she quickly comforted her. The goddess rubbed the titan's shoulders and whispered in her ear,

"Don't worry. It'll go well. Trust me darling." Rhea sighed and gulped before she put on a confident face and made out with Azura. This went on for about 20 seconds before they wiped their mouths. Azura grabs Rhea's left hand and says,

"Lets go." In an insane burst of speed they zipped in a beam of light but far surpassing that speed. A blue and red streak zipping through the cosmos.

A couple moments later

"I know how we can kill Kaldur. It's the name of the judge we're after. We kill her, then I'll happily lift the multiversal enchantment. You have my word." Azura promised. Rhea seemed like she had bought it based on her facial expressions of contempt."

As the two of them continued to race through the cosmos, they eventually see a large floating building in the middle of nowhere. Azura knew exactly what it was she was looking at. A court. Judges were quite literal in the sense they are judges just of a higher dimension level and and importance than the ones in the dark multiverse. However Rhea noticing something odd. They both stopped just ours the entrance. It looked similar to like the entrance of a colleuseum there were pillars at the entrance and a flight of stairs one can walk up to get inside. However Rhea wasn't the only one that noticed something odd. There was traces of golden blood on the stairs. There was also not a single god of balance protecting or patrolling the court.

"This is odd. From what I heard, this place should never be this quiet... and blood.." Azura tried to rationalize the situation. Feeling like it was safe they both decided to fly inside the courtroom together. What they saw terrified them. Inside of it were a bunch of dead gods of balance. Some of them were cut im half, some skewerd by some type of spear, and others beheaded. It was a bloody courtroom. Though the gods of balance bled the color red just like the gods of Azura's multiverse.
