The Guardian gods-Chapter 178

The area was silent for a bit before roars of different animals could be heard and everyone morphed into a were beast quickly following after Olaf. Yuki and Finn with their wings spread apart took to the sky where Finn asked Yuki "Do you think this will work?"

Yuki looked up to the red dot at the sky before answering "It will after all, it will be the truest form of prayer in the case of your god"

Olaf leading the crowd quickly left the kingdom area, His nose twitching following the scent of his prey. It took a while before he appeared in one of their kingdom’s noble territories. This territory was guarded by guards with bird-like features.

Standing a bit far away where he couldn’t be seen, It took a while before everyone joined Olaf. The guards on the territory gate already saw the huge crowd gathering and so one of them ran down to inform the noble in charge of this territory.

Meanwhile Olaf turned to those standing behind him as he pointed at the territory "It pleases me to tell you we have found a sacrifice for the finality of our first prayer to our god Björn"

"A few of our brothers and sisters are behind those walls, cooking up plans and resistance that can be detrimental to our kingdom’s way of life. To pay our last respect to such traitors, what better way than to sacrifices them to our great god"

"Go forth, people of Björn. It is a free for all feast, let your primal instinct go and know that our great god Björn watches over you" Olaf said with with filled with bloodlust and insanity.

In response to his words, was a huge collective roar across the plains as those that came with him began marching quickly toward the territory, the walls didn’t help much as it was easily scaled. The guards standing at the wales could only take a few down before they were drowned by those following after.

What made this sight more gruesome and crazy was how some transformed werebeast tear apart corpses eating them, Some werebeast involved in this madness some haven’t even come of age so sight of small baby-like transformed were beasts can be seen digging into corpses and laughing with mouths full of blood.

True to Olaf word and Yuki, once the massacre began. At the shrine where a statue of Björn was built a primal energy pulsed through the air. Yuki and Finn looked at each other smiling, as for the others far away from the kingdom involved in the ongoing prayer.

Then can be seen surrounded by a red light that seemed to strengthen them and even made them more crazy. Olaf who led the massacre was covered in a very thick red light, that even at his stage of strength could feel strengthening him.

He wasn’t the only one to feel the effect as others noticed it too, especially those of weak strength. They noticed how with more kill the thicker the light surrounding them becomes and the more stronger their strength becomes.

That increased the intensity of the masacre even more as traitors were no longer those targeted but even other comrades surrounded with red light were targeted. It took about 20 minutes for a territory with a population of 80,000 to be killed.

With the end of the massacre, Those involved noticed as they weren’t getting anymore benefit from it, so covered in thick blood red light. Olaf stood atop a rubble as he began speaking once again "You have felt our gods grace, as you leave here right now spread the word of his belief and his power to all who are ignorant" Smiling wickedly while covered in blood. Looking up to the now shining red dot, Olaf and the thousand others around him roared up to the sky.

As the chaos unfolded below, Yuki and Finn watched from the magical screen Yuki created. Yuki’s expression was a mix of awe and trepidation. The primal energy emanating from the massacre below was palpable, sending shivers down her spine, that was the opposite for Finn as he had an eager look on his face to join in.

Finn’s wings beat against the air as he hovered beside Yuki, his voice barely audible over the roar of the crowd below. "Do you think this is what every worship of Björn will be like?"

Yuki’s eyes remained fixed on the scene below, her brow furrowed in thought. "No" she replied, her voice tinged with certainty. "Björn is a god of madness and war fury, after all. This... ritual, if you can call it that, taps into the very aspects of his essence, and as this is his very first prayer since his ascension it was very much needed"

Looking up to the sky, Yuki said "We accomplished our goal, now we do the hard part which is teaching them of the right way to worship"

Finn nodded grimly, his gaze sweeping over the carnage below. "I understand, while this form of worship seems good for now it won’t be on the long term, If we start with this then sooner or later we will have not much people left"

Yuki looked at Finn and nodded "That’s true, thankfully there were a group of rebels we could pick from this time as sacrifice. If there wasn’t we would have been forced to choose one of the silver kingdom territory as a place to complete the worship"

Saything, Yuki raised her brow to look at Finn and herself as they were both covered in red light, Finn had a look of intoxication on his face while Yuki can be seen struggling.

She felt the benefit from the light but she also was feeling the temptation that came with that was pushing her to want more of it, Looking up to the shining red dot, Yuki thought to herself "I shouldn’t be surprised considering he is the same existence like my father"

Coughing to catch Finn attention, Yuki said with a heavy smile on her face "If this is how his grace feels, I believe we have a lot more on our plate to worry"

Finn looked confused as he stared at her "What do you mean?"

Looking at the slightly subsiding red light covering her hand, Yuki said "If we don’t do well in our teaching of Björn belief then we are about to have a group of power hunger murderers running around killing people in his name, This kingdom and its people will becoming a big eye sore for everyone even the Origin gods"

Yuki doesn’t know how true the word is, as every god was paying attention to the new development taking place in their world. One goddess specifically wasn’t liking the existence of the new ascended god.

Mahu can now be seen Floating out in space close to the circular red dot of light. Ikenga can also be seen floating next to her as he held her back.

"Why are you stopping me, Ikenga? Let me deal with his pest" Mahu said as a silver colored light covered her hand.

Ikenga held the hand before speaking out in a calm tone "Your anger is understood sister but at the same time an unsightly behavior of people of our status"

Mahu, still overwhelmed by her anger, screamed "What do you mean by that brother?"

Ikenga’s brown eyes changed color, One green and one purple "Your angry sister has made you forget how disturbing of an existence we are. Me, you and the others view most things as pawn and right now you are falling into that position of a pawn yourself"

Ikenga words seemed to calm Mahu down as she felt the multiple eyes of her siblings staring at them. Ikenga continued "I am very tempted right now to allow you to act as pawn but our recent development in relationship status has prompted me to act"

"I and the others are tempted to see what happens when you strike down this new god, but we do that at the expense of seeing you paying the unforeseen price. Tempting as that may be it doesn’t change the fact you were designed the position of a pawn"

Both Ikenga and Mahu heard the chuckle from their siblings as Mahu’s eyes twitched "I didn’t take you for such a killjoy brother" Crepuscular voice said following the grunt of agreement from their other siblings.

Paying no mind to the antics, Ikenga regarded Mahu with a serious expression "This will be the last time, I will be taking such action to stop your foolishness. Next time I don’t mind staying back to how you play your expected role"

"I guess we will all be consulting mother since our little brother, creator of ugly monsters, wants to play the good guy role all of a sudden" Crepuscular mocking voice once again sounded in their heads.

Ikenga eye twitched when all of a sudden he smirked and said "Still can’t touch me tho" Ikenga could feel his older brother voice hitch before he shouted "Run it back right now, I already figured how to catch you"

Ikenga dug his left hand little finger into his ear, while smiling sheepishly "Not interested"

Keles and Jaws laughing voice can be heard as they laughed at the Crepuscular who was screaming how unfair that was.
