Sunny had finally made his decision to become a God among Gods.
He would take in all the Gods who wished to be his subordinates, a strategic move to create a unified front against the looming demonic threat.
With the Contract talent from Sugata, he had a solution to the age-old problem of backstabbing and betrayal from the other Gods or any such entity that threatens Sunny.
The terms of their allegiance would be sealed with a contract, ensuring their loyalty.
But some of the Gods, who had been offered this place of sanctuary, started to have second thoughts.
They were reluctant to leave behind their worlds, their creations, but keeping them in the Realm of Advancement was not feasible.
Sunny, seeing their hesitation in the God Chat, simply replied with two words, "don’t worry."
These two words, coming from God Cosmos himself, did not feel like an empty promise. They were a divine decree, an assurance to all the Gods who were having second thoughts.
Sunny was already planning for it, and his plan, in his mind, was already theoretically correct.
The first priority was to save these 34 Gods one by one.
Sunny asked Thea to manifest a portal and connect it with the God space of these Gods.
In just a few seconds, the portals were completed. Sunny placed his mask on his face, a cosmic robe covering his body, and entered the portal.
On the other end was a God who looked very fat and was still eating chips, a perfect picture of a being who had given up on his life.
Upon noticing Sunny, he lazily stood up from his manifested sofa and greeted him, "Hello, God Cosmos," he said, slightly bowing his head.
Sunny nodded and handed this God a sheet of paper. This was a contract written by Sugata using his Contract talent.
The chubby God looked at the contract and without much thought signed it.
The terms in the contract were simple: 25% of the faith generated from your world will be taken by God Cosmos.
The chubby guy didn’t say anything else and just awaited Sunny’s next command.
Sunny also didn’t say anything and directly created a portal huge enough to swallow a whole planet.
He passed this portal through the planet of the chubby God and in just a small fraction of a millisecond there was no planet to be seen.
Then Sunny finally opened his mouth for the first time in front of the chubby God and said, "Move to the portal, I have other Gods to save too."
Sunny chose to do it by himself rather than asking Thea to do so was because of two reasons, the first, he wanted to show his powers to the other God and second was that both parties should be present for the contract.
Both Sunny and the chubby guy moved through the portal and arrived in the God space of Sunny.
There Nova was already present, her task was to stop the time for the lifeforms and the planet, so they do not feel this anomaly.
One by one Sunny helped these Gods, by teleporting both there planet and them back to Sunny’s God space.
There Nova kept on freezing the time of every planet.
The sight of Nova sent chills down the spines of these Gods, they were stronger and could kill her easily, but it was only because of the Godhood and the divine body that they possess.
If these things were taken away from them, they wouldn’t even be able to see how Nova killed them.
As Sunny was helping these Gods, in the previous location of the chubby God’s planet, two beings filled with a bottomless malevolent aura arrived.
These were the demon lords of Curses and Corrosion, Maledictus and Ichor.
Ichor smelled the empty space and said, "No doubt about it, I smell two Gods and a few hundred thousand lifeforms."
"How can these Gods communicate so fast? Do they have uncovered the universal wormhole?" Maledictus said, her thoughts coming from her billions of years of living.
"Even if they develop it, it is impossible to teleport an entire planet without even living a trace behind," Ichor said, stroking his chin.
"We shouldn’t stay idle here, let’s move in with full speed, we should be able to catch a God or two," Maledictus replied to Ichor and turned to leave.
"We should’ve inquired from the four dogs we have caught," Ichor said in disappointment and followed Maledictus.
Both of them entered the demonic realm and started traveling there.
Only when they smell some lifeforms from the other side (which is multiverse), do they come out to make them slaves.
After travelling from the location of 32 gods, Sunny was just asking the 33rd God to enter the portal, when his intuition kicked in and he felt a life-threatening danger.
Immediately he pushed the God inside the portal and he used his God’s eye to peer towards the direction where the threat was coming from.
Immediately he saw, two entities with a slightly less pressure than the demon lord of discord, Deimos. That he felt a long time ago.
He used his God’s eye to the utmost, immediately using ten billion faith points, but still no description or information about them was visible.
The pressure of these two beings increased more and more on him, Sunny sighed and entered the portal, this single glance and infinite pressure showed him the grand difference between him and the demon lords.
"Portals?" Maledictus said, as she looked at a location that was millions of light years away, without even using a skill.
But as they both reached there, there was no sign of these portals there, no sign of life, only a little fragrance of Gods and their lifeforms that caught Ichor’s eyes.
"It’s the 32nd God that escaped our hand today," Ichor shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Don’t shout like a ghost, there would be many more ahead, we just need to be faster," Maledictus said, as she rubbed her ears.
Ichor grinned and shot towards the direction of Ashgar, their destination with even more speed.
