chapter 119

The asteroids have stopped coming.”

“What? How is that possible?”

“It seems that those people have decided to intervene.”

“Uh… you mean the High Gods?”

I swallowed my saliva nervously.

“Maybe one of those observers finally decided to step in.”

“Who are they?”

“Although Gods can be quite powerful, only a few among them are strong enough to restrain asteroids. ”

“So who could it be? It’d probably be best if we can prepare ourselves in advance.”

“We can’t be sure, but with that level of strength it must be Atlas or Thor. They sent stronger ones than I expected.” 

“Try not to look so nervous, this is mostly a show of force to gain some advantage in the upcoming negotiations.”

“Right, but if they are so powerful, why don’t they just create their own planet.”

Gnoss however shook his head and explained.

“Simply having sufficient power isn’t enough to create a planet and it isn’t easy to escape the inner politics of the Gods. In order to create and rule their own planet, they would probably need a backing on the same level as Metatron or Skyfather.”

“I see, so even a God’s life is quite complicated.”

“Of course, ever since the disappearance of the Supreme Gods, the Gods have almost constantly been at war. Since their awareness is so complete, they can know almost anything that is going on in the universe. This means that they will find many situations to bicker over.”

“Hmm… why is it that Gods don’t anything regarding the disappearance of these supreme Gods?”

“There are several theories on the subject, but it seems that the two highest Gods, omniscience and omnipotence had argued over something prior to their disappearance. ”

“Really, what was their argument about?”

“That remains a mystery to all. In fact discovering this truth has been the main goal behind the Gnossian Coalition.”

“Ah, right, Gnoss, you were a part of that group!”

“I guessed as much, perhaps when I reincarnated into a human I was influenced somewhat by my past memories and chose my name to reflect that of the organization.”

“No wonder they have the same name.”

“Right, well actually my memories as Harpok are largely incomplete and I can’t remember all those which had joined the Gnossian coalition.”

“I see, out of Harpok we had only managed to learn that Gaia had once been a part of it.”

“Yes, her I can remember, but as for the information on other members….”

“By the way Gaia will lose her divinity in about 20 years time.”

I informed him of a future event which had just come to me.

“What, who did you hear that from?”

“Mikael.”

“Ah… that little bastard. That’s too bad, Gaia was recognized by all as a great goddess who had won the hearts and mind of all humans alike.”

“Well, it only happens in the future.”

“Ah right, we’re talking about the future now.”
