Chapter 584 The Deities
Kahn and Blackwall were too stunned and perplexed to speak a single word. If what they heard and experienced so far was indeed the truth… then they were conversing with two living Deities.
Seeing their shocked expression… Brokkr and Eitri gave them a moment of respite and didn't speak anything until their guests managed to digest the fact.
As for Kahn himself… Other than meeting Kravel, he never experienced meeting deities by himself. And even at that time, God of Darkness was present so he had very little interaction with the Deity.
Back in Verlassen fiefdom… Ceril and Oliver had received gifts from Velsharoon, the Deity of Necromancy and Indra, the Sky Deity respectively. But they never spoke about it or revealed any information about their encounter with those deities as if their lips were sealed and speaking about the deities was a taboo.
"Which god's hero are you… wait… that aura.
To see that the new Hero of Darkness entered our realm." said Eitri as he instantly scanned Kahn's entire body.
"Deities…" spoke Kahn as he just managed to come to his senses. And he wasn't a fool to question this situation either as this place was completely different from anything he had seen before.
"What is this place?" he asked.
"Our home. This is also the place where we forge our weapons and armors. Sometimes, the other Deities also hire our services." replied Brokkr.
"Even other Deities… does that mean…" he quickly tried to ask but before more words came out of his mouth, Eitri spoke in a calm voice.
"Yes. We also forged all the Divine Weapons of the Heroes."
Brokkr on the other end spoke with an indignant expression.
"He doesn't have his Divine Weapon with him. Otherwise, it would also be brought here through their soul link."
"Easy brother… this lad is a different case, remember." Eitri intervened.
"Wait… can you tell me what kind of Divine Weapon I have?
I don't have any knowledge about it or information about its whereabouts." spoke Kahn with a pleading expression.
If these Deities were the ones to forge his divine weapon, then there was a high chance that they could help him locate it.
"Don't ask questions related to your mission and we won't tell you anything related to the matters of deities and gods either.
This is prohibited and just by speaking to you, we're already putting ourselves at risk." said Brokkr in a discontent tone.
"That is something you'll have to do on your own. The reason you're here is unrelated to your divine weapon." he continued in a stern tone.
"You don't want us to tell other deities and gods about you not having your divine weapon in possession, do you?" asked Eitri in a playful tone.
[Fuck! They're right!] thought Kahn as he immediately understood how precarious his situation was.
This was a great opportunity for Kahn to ask some important questions but after hearing their response, he understood how big of a risk it was.
Forget a divine weapon… he didn't even have an Ancient Rank weapon or one made from the body of a Royal Dragon. The only ones that could stand toe to toe against a divine weapon in a fight if a chosen hero didn't have his or her own.
"Even if you're dwarves… you're too big." said Blackwall out of the blue.
"What? This is our normal height!" shouted Eitri as if this was some serious issue for him.
"You should see other Demi-Gods, for example that bastard called Jotnar.
That giant titan is over a hundred times taller than us." said Brokkr with a hateful look.
But as soon as Blackwall heard the word 'Titan'… he got more curious.
"Jotnar? What kind of Demi-God is he?" asked the Kronos general out of curiosity as the fire from their forge glistened his mineral body and inbuilt armor-like body parts.
"You know nothing about your history? Ah, I forgot… you're just a creation and not a natural birth." said Eitri and then continued.
"Jotnar… is the Founding Titan."
Eitri then continued in a well-mannered tone as if he was reading scripture.
"The first natural titan who was born in Vantrea. He lived there for millions of years until he finally learned how to become a Demi-God.
And after he managed to become one and ascended to become a deity… he destroyed his body into hundreds of different pieces, spreading them all over different corners of Vantrea.
The body parts later reformed themselves and took physical appearance and had different elements to them. Chapters fırst released on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
And thus… they became what you call Primordial Titans." informed Eitri about the myth of the world.
"You only have a small portion of Jotnar's bloodline. But if you manage to find other titans and get their bloodline… maybe you have a chance to become someone like Jotnar.
Although we don't like that brute… he is one of the strongest among all the deities." revealed Brokkr.
Both of the guests had a look of disbelief. Because this information was something even Kahn's system didn't know about.
Previously, they thought that Primordial Titans were the peak. But now they learned that they were just a small portion of Jotnar's body.
Blackwall on the other end had a fiery look on his face as if he was raring to fight this Jotnar they spoke of.
"Alright then… let's get to the main topic at hand." spoke Kahn and broke the conversation that was drifting away from the important discussion they needed to have first.
"Can you tell us why we're here?" he asked with a yearning expression.
To his question, both the dwarven deities chuckled as if they found Kahn's query very obvious.
"You two were suddenly summoned into a realm of deities.
The deities who deal in the same craft both of you are learning and trying to improve your mastery in.
What does that tell you?" said Brokkr.
"Huh? What do you mean?" wondered Kahn. Because he was still unaware that he had received enlightenment back in the real world.
Just then, Eitri spoke and relayed their intentions to both Kahn and Blackwall in an authoritative tone.
"You two have gained our acknowledgment. In simple words…" he said and like a habit, both brothers completed the sentence together.
"You're now our Apostles."
