Sitting around the table, the five primordial gods were silent.After the notification that the First Born of Destruction had woken up, all of the fighting had stopped as they decided to sign a temporary truce and focus their efforts in trying to locate who it was. However, they knew that Shiro was the First Born which puts them in a rather awkward situation.While they had never seen what Shiro was capable of when she was the 'First Born', they knew that she was strong enough for almost every pantheon to team up against her."Nyx, the other pantheons have started to move. The Nordic ones, while not having anyone stronger than divinity rank 3, have already begun setting their foundation on Earth while the major Pantheons are waking up the old ones." Gaia said as she had a stack of books by her side. She had continuously searched for information regarding Shiro during her time as the First Born in order to figure a way around everything so that they wouldn't try to kill Shiro.But so far, every bit of information she had found spoke of untold horrors when facing her. Even gods with divinity rank 4 had to run away with everything they had to even consider the thought of fleeing with their life."To make matters worse, I heard a few concerning rumours. The old pantheons have already begun preparing rituals to wake up their First Born. According to what I heard, most of the old pantheons were created by the First Born as subordinates. Their original goal was to wake up the First Born and I believe this just gave them an excuse to gather resources in the open. We can't even say anything about it since everyone knows that we need the power of the First Borns." Tartarus said as he leaned on the table."Though due to the nature of our myths, we don't have anyone stronger than the five of us here. While we may have been dominating due to how much faith has been placed in our myths, our power will most likely be reduced in the upcoming age. We don't have a single divinity rank 4 never mind a rank 5." Ouranos scratched his head. Follow current on novelenglish.net
Hearing this, all of the gods became silent as this was the truth. As it stands, any pantheon that doesn't have a rank 4 god will be eliminated.Listening to their discussion, Nyx was silent. She was trying to think of a way to turn things around for them and Shiro but things seem bleak. IF Shiro was to regain her power, the realm would be in danger.This wasn't something they could change either since they have already seen the impact she had while being placed in stasis. The moment she awakens properly, war would break out. It would be them against every known pantheon. As much as she believes in Shiro, she knows that they would become fodder in the fight. Even if Shiro won, she'll be a lone victor and her victory means the end of the world.But if she loses, the world will also end. With the system around, they couldn't transfer the knowledge either so everyone was eager to kill the First Born without knowing the consequences.'If they kill they lose, if they don't kill they lose. Tsk, what a shit situation.' Nyx thought to herself when Gaia suddenly stood up in surprise."Is there something wrong?" Nyx asked as Gaia swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth nervously."There are still some domains around that used to belong to the First Born. They're usually missing and drifting through the rifts and hard to catch even for gods. But there are a few passageways that lead you to the 'door' of the domain. Let's just say that Shiro's Domain as the First Born is almost untouched since none of the First Born's could even enter it. When she was defeated, her aura lingered around and the cost of defeating Shiro left many of the First Born injured so no one dealt with her Domain. After all these years, it seems like the gods have forgotten about it or dismissed it as destroyed like the others but it's still mostly intact. While I may call it a domain, it's more accurate to call it a prison just for her. If we go there, we might reap massive benefits. It speaks of gods receiving a fruit in order to get a boost in power but those that consumed more lose themselves. If we are to go and obtain a fruit, one of us might reach rank 4." Gaia explained while placing the book in the centre of the room for everyone to see."Do you know what kind of mission you just suggested to us?" Chronos raised an eyebrow as Gaia nodded her head."I know but we all know we need to reach rank 4. How else would we even stand a chance to fend off the gods from reaching Shiro if they ever know." Gaia shrugged as they immediately understood that Gaia never worried about how she should resolve the situation but rather placed her trust in Shiro and resolved herself to 'protect' Shiro until a solution is found by her.

Plus, Shiro was already trying to cultivate a creation divinity so what they needed to do now was to buy time and the best way is to reach tier 4. The gods already fear them now, once they reach tier 4 things should become easier for them. For the time being anyways since there's no doubt that a battle between First Born's will break out in the future. Becoming a First Born is a privilege reserved for those at the beginning of everything. Gods like them had no role in becoming one."Well with that silence I'm guessing everyone is on board with making our way to her old domain. Does it show where it is?" Tartarus asked as Gaia nodded her head."Yeah, it's past the edge of our universe. If we are to go, we'll be leaving our allies completely open. Though with what's going on, I doubt a fight will break out any time soon." Gaia shrugged."What about Mio then? I know she's training with Hades right now to see if she can reach rank 2 divinity but I'm still worried." Nyx asked as Gaia glanced at Tartarus."I've already set up some protective measures around her. Plus, both Argus and Helios volunteered to help when they realised that she's Shiro's mother." Tartarus said as Nyx nodded her head."That's good then.""Oh before I forget, Hephaestus sent us a little prototype he created after watching some of the fight between Rokarn and Shiro." Chronos said as he opened a separate space and pulled out a spear.[Sun Piercer Spear – Helios (Prototype)]Unable to fully replicate the Sun Breaker, the Sun Piercer ignores all defences and implodes the might of a sun within the body of those who are struck by this spear. Created by Hephaestus and the help of Helios, anyone can wield the power of the Sun God in their hands. Follow current on storynovel.net
You are able to ignite this weapon for it to replicate part of the power shown by the Sun Breaker Spear. However, in doing so, this weapon will be destroyed after one attack."He's planning to mass produce this for us since his successor is part of Shiro's party. Plus, according to him, watching how Shiro fights has inspired him to make better masterpieces." Chronos chuckled as he decided not to share the second artefact that Hephaestus had created after seeing what she did before.[Forge God's Rear Plate (Divine Artifact)]After witnessing what a certain Snow Girl could do in her younger years, the god of blacksmithing feared the devastation she could cause with her power now and created this armour out of panic. Gaining inspiration from his successors Ass Plate design, he was able to upgrade the armour to the rank of Divine Artifact. While it does not have sentience, it will do everything in its power to block a powerful strike targeted at the rear.Should it face an attack that overcomes its defence, it will self-detonate by teleporting both it and the attack away in order to keep the wearer's rear safe.'Who the hell target's the ass during a fight!?'-Hephaestus, God of Blacksmithing.Looking at the piece of armour that looked like a holy paladin's shield, Chronos wasn't sure of what to say. Occasionally, one could see radiant energy flickering off the surface.'I don't think we need this for now. Unless her identity as the First Born had the same habit.'Thinking about the power of an attack targeting the rear thrown by the First Born of Destruction, Chronos felt inclined to wear this armour.
