Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Everyone: (0_0)

Never in their lives had they heard anyone wail so pitifully.

All the hairs on their body stood terribly from the ear-bursting eerie cry.

What happened to all its confidence from earlier?

Watching the Grandmaster's giant mace make a paste out of its rotting maggot-infested body made everyone want to light a candle for the creature.

No one said anything. But their legs were shaking in fear not for the creature's might but from the Grandmaster's brutal ways.

Of course, their gratitude was also more evident too.

Everyone watched the giant mace mince the creature's rotting body, creating a disgusting sight.

~Bam! Bam! Pah! Bam! Boom!~

The ground shook slightly after the many attacks.

But all this happened in no more than 2 minutes.

And no matter how much the creature wailed and pleased, Dorian was like an assassin on the battlefield. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

He once again landed his giant spiked mace on the creature.

The image was as though a giant spiky boulder had now landed on the also massive creature. And what was even more startling was the little man holding the giant mace's handle.

No matter how one looked at it, it just seemed impossible for the Grandmaster to have picked it up.

Too handsome!

... The grandmaster sure looked handsome!!

[The trembling audience]: (+0+)

.

'Oh? What's this?'

Dorian glanced at the strange shard that flew out of the creature after he smashed its 3rd heart.

Objects similar to tiny stars and cosmic gasses revolved around this strange shard, though the shard itself looked like it was melting (rotting).

The system who saw this was shocked so much that it began to stutter with grim eyes.

[Host!.... Host!... That's... That's--]

'A Dilaila shard.'

Dorian answered, fully aware that he was holding in his hands.

The shard was so precious that even he had a flicker of awe in its presence.

But what exactly was this shard?

Back in his former world, many beliefs did exist about the many gods and goddesses too. And unlike what some might think, these Gods and Goddesses won't grow weak if they lack followers.

These immortals could only grow stronger if they kept law and order in check.

How to say it?

The angels, gods, goddesses, and other immortal beings in the heavenly realm worked to get her to keep matters of the mortal realms in order. And to be honest, there were too many billion, trillion, infinity worlds out there, far surprising the number of immortal beings that exist.

But what can anyone do?

The Almighty could sneeze, and entire galaxies would pop out.

In that case, those in the heavenly realm are overseeing more places.

Of course, only those qualified could reach the status of Archangel Gabriel, Zeus, and all the rest.

In truth, the story of the many 'Gods' comes from their different gifts and how they oversaw their various domains.

That's right.

Many have the origin stories for these gods all wrong!!

What's more, the planets Zeus overseas didn't even have the God Poseidon on them either.

No! Rather, Zeus worked with some lesser-ranked angels and other immortals in his group to oversee all the worlds under his assigned territories.

As for Hades, he wasn't any keeper of the underworld.

His real position was very close to the underworld. That was why he was always misunderstood.

For Hades and several other heavenly angels and beings, they weren't given worlds to regulate but were asked to oversee the entire judgment process.

So yes... You could say he would be the one dishing out the punishment mortals would face, sending their souls to the underworld when their punishment time was up.

But as a being belonging to the heavenly realm, he never went down there.

Bottom line, the Almighty was the big guy... The creator of it all... The Boss of bosses. And in this time of need, sure enough, he was on Hiatus.

.

'What an unreliable guy.'

[Host, please don't slander the Almighty! He... He always has a plan!]

The system was like a puffer fish, feeling its host too wrong.

The almighty was so good… So how can its host keep thinking bad about such a heavenly being?

That was the creator!!!

How can its host think the Almighty was unreliable?

(>*0*)

The system wanted to quickly clear up any misunderstandings the host might have and show its host the light.

[Host, host, listen to me. This system thinks—]

'Noisy.'

[...]

Dorian didn't even bother listening to the system's noisy rants.

He had long marked the so-called almighty as an unreliable being, even back in his former world.

But on the matter of the heavens, not all heavenly beings could be given assignments.

Those like Loki could never be allowed to oversee territories.

Dorian reckoned the guy would drown these worlds in turmoil and complete obliteration. He wouldn't be surprised if these worlds also blew up as well.

And sure enough, looking at the Dilaila stone, he was sure it was this trickster who brought such a heavenly stone to this place.

'It's weakening.'

Dorian held the shard between his gloved fingers, observing over 99.999% of it was rotted to its core.

Even with the rotting speed of this place being so speedy, such a tiny heavenly shard still took hundreds and thousands of years to reach this point.

This alone was enough to tell how powerful this single piece was. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

.

Again, sensing the auras around this particular shard, Dorian was also sure the shard had been deteriorating in several other places before finally arriving here.

It should be that these shares were first in the hands of stronger beings before being given to these weaker ones.

[Host. Probably because of the war in the underworld, the powerful generals and commanders dared not take these shards down?]

Dorian thought the same as well.

The shards haven't completely deteriorated yet. So it was probably sent here to complete its deterioration while the big guys leave this world.

But just like he mentioned, this was only a single shard.

So where were the rest?

Interesting...

'They broke down the Dilaila stone and began containing it with the help of Loki, all in the hopes of anchoring it in a formation 2 years later?'

Heh.

The corners of Dorian's lips raised high.

Time to collect all shards.
