RISE OF EROS-Chapter 763 - 762

After Terra said this, she added, "I understand your relations with the Cannes vampires are friendly, so I don't think you'll have a problem with that case, but for the others, the situation is more complex."

Andrew and everyone present understood perfectly what Terra was saying. The races that possessed the bodies of gods in their possession obviously wouldn't give them up so easily.

Even under the threat of the planet's possible destruction, they would prioritize their own personal gains. The aspiration of all beings in this world, to a greater or lesser extent, is to ascend as gods.

Everyone knows that to do so, they must use many resources and undergo supernatural experiences, and there is no better way to achieve divinity than the body of a deceased god, brimming with divinity.

Now, as noble as the cause may seem, stealing them also poses a problem. It's true that Andrew and his allies have the greatest force in the world, but forcing things isn't the best solution.

This would only cause the rest of the world to unite against them, making them view them as an organization similar to Purgatory or even worse. It's true that Andrew and the others' alliance is the most powerful, but if they act so recklessly, things could go wrong.

Many demigods would disagree with this plan, and it would only unleash a war that would destroy everything before the real threat arrived. Simply put, Andrew had to find a way to convince them to participate voluntarily.

This was difficult to achieve, if not impossible, but in Terra's words, it was the only option. Furthermore, being arbitrary brought other problems, and they were more personal to Andrew. As the future god of this world, if he acts this way, he will have many problems once he ascends.

Now imagine a god in charge of a world that distrusts him. In other words, forcing things would only bring problems in the long run. No one will think about how they saved the world, but rather how they stole and tyrannized whenever they could, and that's not what Andrew and the others want.

Because of this, Andrew could only ask, "Is there no other option?", to which Terra replied, "If you ascend in the short term and reach the land of the gods, present the case, and convince someone to help with this problem, there are no other options."

This plan didn't seem far-fetched, and Andrew even thought it was much better than gathering the deities of the deceased gods on the continent, but seeing the expressions on Terra, Aqua, and even Fluffy's faces, he knew something must be wrong with this plan.

Sensing this, he asked, "It seems like that plan is much more difficult than the first one, though I don't see the reason. Could you enlighten me?" Terra and Aqua sighed, but didn't respond; they just stared at Fluffy.

It was as if they wanted her to be the one to explain, and understanding this, Fluffy began to explain, "It's certainly more difficult. The gods aren't as selfless as they seem". Pausing, she continued, "Honestly, I don't think you'll be able to convince any gods if you choose this plan".

Andrew furrowed his eyebrows, as did Biacko and the dragons present. "Won't the gods intervene if a fallen god threatens?" Andrew continued, not understanding. Fluffy had told him that the gods would be relentless in this situation.

Because of this, he couldn't understand why they said he couldn't convince any gods to help. "Andrew, it's true that the gods will be relentless against a fallen god, but that's only when it threatens them."

Fluffy's words confused everyone except the spirits. Fluffy understood that she hadn't explained herself well, so she added, "If you ascend, this world will come under your rule". "That means it's your responsibility. Only the moment you disappear will they act, since the fallen god becomes a threat to them," Fluffy said bitterly.

At that moment, everyone understood what he meant and couldn't help but grit their teeth and hands. They now knew that the gods were no different from them; they were just more powerful beings, but equally selfish.

That's why they might fall from grace in the first place—because they're selfish. Understanding this, Andrew didn't pursue the topic further and instead asked, "Can't I eliminate him once I achieve godhood?"

"If you were a combat god or one with sealing abilities and the like, it would be difficult," Terra immediately replied. "What about my acquired godhood?" Andrew continued.

"It's true that you can now be considered the heir to the domain of water thanks to the divinity you absorbed, but that's not your innate domain, so it will never become a full divinity," Fluffy replied.

Terra, noticing that Andrew seemed to have doubts, expanded on the idea, "Kid, your divinity will always be Eros; the others will only be complements. That's why you'll never have the power to use them as their rightful owners."

"Simply put, we're tied hand and foot," Biacko suddenly said bitterly, a feeling shared by everyone present. "What's wrong with you?" Andrew asked. Before they could respond, he expanded on the idea, "You're spirits. If you join me with my divinity and yours, wouldn't we be able to achieve our goal?" Terra smiled, but it was Aqua who answered.

She was a little irritated, but said, "We can barely keep him sealed. If we relax the seal to help you, he'll escape, and we'll be lost." Andrew wasn't bothered by her tone. Still, he decided to ask to confirm that he understood her meaning. "So, it takes force to destroy it while you seal it. Did I understand correctly?"

"Yes, that's correct. In fact, our seal is part of this plan's success," Terra confirmed. Everyone let out a collective sigh, and then Andrew said, "I guess we can only try". "Yes, I'm afraid we have no other choice," Terra said, adding, "Even so, consider using force as a last resort. Also, I advise you to release the seventh seal before attempting to absorb another divinity."

Terra saw Andrew frown as if he didn't understand, so he clarified, "You only recently absorbed the new divinity. While your feat of obtaining it early is impressive, don't force it; you won't succeed a second time."

"I understand," Andrew said, though unconvinced. He'd been told the same thing before, and he'd achieved the impossible, so he didn't fully believe it. But at that moment, Fluffy said, "This time you should take that advice."

Andrew looked at her in confusion, and she clarified, "She's not lying. If you do it now, we'd only create a fallen god out of you, instead of a help." Although Fluffy had said the same thing before, Andrew somehow sensed that the situation was more serious now.

He could sense Fluffy's seriousness and decided to listen. After all, Fluffy always looked out for his safety, and there was no reason to rush into a decision that could create more problems.

"Then act with caution," Terra said, adding, "Also, be careful of that strange beast that appeared. If it can be destroyed soon, that would be best." This comment surprised everyone, and Biacko couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"I think they already know the danger of the beast, but they don't know its origin. That beast was born from the intention of the fragments of the fallen god within the former leaders of Purgatory. That's a creature that shouldn't exist."

"What do you mean?" Andrew asked, intrigued and nervous, to which Terra replied, "Everything that exists is the will of the creator god. Even when a new race appears, it is under his grace, but that beast isn't."

"Do you mean it was born outside the power of the creator god?" Andrew asked, surprised. "Well, that's not entirely true, because even the fallen god is born from the divinity of the creator god. It's just that this creature shouldn't have appeared."

Pausing to take a breath, Terra said seriously that she hadn't proven it, even when they spoke of the fallen god, "That beast is a divine anomaly in a mortal world, like your presence or the existence of Chrhono in this world."

"What you mean is that this beast is something this world should reject, yet it still survives, correct?" Andrew asked, and Terra nodded, replying, "That's correct. You're here thanks to the creator god, so you have permission."

"Crhono is still here under special, but not very abnormal, conditions. This isn't the first time it's happened, but that beast is different. The world should have expelled it, but it didn't, so it's dangerous. It mustn't be allowed to grow stronger," Terra concluded seriously.

Everyone swallowed hard at these words, and then Andrew said, "Biacko, contact Elder Crhono. He must hear this and redouble his efforts." Biacko didn't hesitate and immediately went out to call him.

Everyone knew Crhono wouldn't take this lightly, so they decided to wait for him to arrive. It was obvious he would come, so they waited while they talked about other matters, especially the spirits of the city.
