Ragnok kept on asking about the system, about God Cosmos, and about the other demigods, his mind buzzing with a thousand questions.
Thea, after a while, finally replied to his constant nagging.
[I am just a system as you can see, and God Cosmos is my master, my creator]
[The other demigods are also his creations]
"A God? Like God Kairos?" Ragnok asked, his voice trembling as the memories of Kairos destroying his world were still etched into his mind.
[You shouldn’t talk about Gods, you haven’t even reached the Demigod realm]
Ragnok shut his mouth. He knew that they were only alive until now because of this system and the God Cosmos behind it.
If they weren’t here, Kairos would have killed them sooner or later with that monstrous personality of his.
"Status," Ragnok said, his voice now filled with a newfound sense of purpose. He still didn’t know the full effects of his new talent.
[Name: Ragnok
Profession: Mage (S-Grade), Body Refiner (S-Grade), Alchemist (A-Grade), Blacksmith (A-Grade), Array Master (A-Grade), Swordsman (S-Grade), Archery (S-Grade)
Talents: Orc’s Strength (B-Grade), Hunter (C-Grade), Magic Affinity (S-Grade), Super Strength (S-Grade), Super-Cognition (S-Grade), Reality Talk (SS-Grade)]
The long list of talents signified the amount of missions he had completed.
Apart from just talents, he was sometimes awarded with memories of some alchemist or a blacksmith, through which he could easily hone his abilities.
He also gained many artifacts and magical items specially manifested by Thea.
Ragnok clicked at the talent for Reality Talk, and there it was, a talent similar to Shax’s.
This was also done using the Blessing talent, as Thea was the first one to find that she could just send a small part of talent as a blessing.
For example, if a demigod had a talent for full-body enhancement, they could bless a life form with the talent for enhancement in a specific body part.
With this concept in hand, Thea gave Ragnok the talent of Super-Cognition, which was a downgraded version of Omni-Cognition.
And similarly, Sunny had blessed Ragnok with a downgraded version of Divine Command, but in a way that made it similar to the talent of Shax.
"Isn’t it too overpowered?" Ragnok said, his mind still reeling through the different ways he could use this talent.
Just a portal and a world of Solara away, in the God space of Kairos, a voice trembled with fear. "What... what d-do y-you want?" Kairos said, shuddering as the feeling of death engrossed him.
"What do I want? Nothing much. I wanted to taste a God, as it has been ages since I have eaten one," Ichor, the demon lord of Corrosion, said.
Kairos’s whole body trembled upon listening to these words; his human emotions that had been covered after he became a God began to reemerge.
"Stop scaring him, Ichor," a voice sounded in the God space of Kairos again.
"Maledictus," Ichor said, as he gazed at the empty vacuum.
Suddenly, the space where Ichor gazed at turned hazy, and then a beautiful woman appeared, who looked similar to a human apart from the bat wings and fangs.
"You know, Maledictus, I have every right to kill you for invading my territory," Ichor said as he looked at the beautiful woman.
"You sure talk big, even though you are the weakest among us," Maledictus said as she laughed.
This statement made Kairos even more afraid, as a single demon lord was enough to kill him a thousand times, but now there were two.
"Come, let’s fight then, let’s see who is stronger," Ichor said in anger.
Maledictus walked towards Ichor and took out a flag from her spatial ring.
Upon looking at the flag, the color from Ichor’s face faded, and he said, "Okay, okay, you won, put that cursed thing away."
Maledictus laughed and stored the flag back in her spatial ring.
"You continue what you are doing, after you are done, we both should leave for Ashgar," Maledictus said, and lay down in the vacuum, like she was going to sleep.
"It’s that time already" Ichor said in a serious tone and then his gaze landed on Kairos again.
"So, are you ready to be my slave?" Ichor said to Kairos, who was having a mental breakdown.
But upon listening to these words, it was like his soul had returned back to his body.
He quickly nodded and kneeled in front of Ichor as he said, "Master, I will follow you wholeheartedly."
"Aren’t you a good dog," Ichor laughed, and then he dropped some of his slime into Solara. Immediately, this mass of slime dissolved all the remaining planet into nothingness.
And then the slime began to turn into a sphere, multiplying and hardening. Slowly, the shape began to form, and a new planet was created.
And that was not all; there were even some life forms in this newly created world; they were all demons.
"Take it as a gift from your master, this planet and these life forms are yours from now on. Be a good dog and take good care of it," Ichor said, while laughing.
His laugh sent shivers through Kairos.
"Yes, master," Kairos said. He was still kneeling as he was afraid he would die if he looked at these demon lords again.
"Let me put a leash on your new dog then," Maledictus said and pointed her finger in the direction of Kairos.
Immediately, a thread appeared out from her finger and bound the neck of Kairos.
This thread slowly increased in thickness and appeared as a dog leash. The other end of this leash was handed to Ichor.
Ichor didn’t resist Maledictus as he was already aware of what she was doing.
Maledictus then snapped, and immediately this leash vanished into thin air.
Kairos felt like his life was now in the hands of Ichor, not that it was any different previously.
But now it was like Ichor could kill him from any distance, with just a single thought.
"Worthy of the demon lord of Curses," Ichor laughed, and both the demon lords vanished, leaving behind a scared Kairos who didn’t understand what happened.
