Within the Divine Realm of Bestellen, the God of Light and Law and the other elemental pillar Gods gathered to discuss what had just transpired a few weeks ago with… Ervas and Veronica.

Well, they only knew about Ervas name, as the mysterious living armor woman was still a mystery to all of them, they didn't even know her name yet.

The three Fates were not able to see Fate any longer, even when they tried to intrude into the fate of all those within Seashore, it was hopeless, something was blocking them from seeing the truth beneath the threads of fate.

Of course, this was because Veronica was using her Lesser Fate Manipulation Skill, which she acquired by awakening the probability correction skill, which came from Enhanced Aim.

Enhanced Aim was a Skill that originally came from… an archer-related job, it seemed. Who would have through that such a Skill held the potential to even manipulate fate to an extent and leave those that spy the future and learn information from it completely hopeless!

Due to this truth which Bestellen and the other Gods were unaware of, they had to gather once more, as Bestellen had to personally speak with every God over this issue.

In particular, the issue over how they killed a dozen of Heroic Gods, two Battle Popes, Two Shadow Eyes including the powerful and useful Gregor, and also how… just how strong they were.

Although they had not been able to see how they slaughtered these people, Bestellen did feel how every heroic god screamed in agony as they were killed, even their statues began to fall apart and shatter into pieces.

It was a serious issue.

"Sorry for the unexpected meeting, but things had gone unexpectedly bad…

" sighed Bestellen.

"We heard it from the messengers… So they beat the people you sent to kill or capture them? Oh wow, how unexpected…

" sighed Uphy.

"Uphy! What's the meaning of those words?! Are you not sorrowful over the death of those innocent souls?

" asked Rhalorr.

"…I am. But honestly, if you're sending people to deal with them, and they die, why are you getting shaken over it? Isn't it to be expected? I mean… Are they not allowed to fight back?

" asked Uphy.

"…

"

"…

"

"…

"

"…

"

All the Gods fell silent.

Although the majority agreed with her, not many were as bold to say that out loud.

"My lady, I believe you exceeded yourself there…

" said Vulcan, at the side of Uphy.

"Well… She's not wrong. I suppose I shouldn't be so angered when I sent them myself to their death,

" said Bestellen.

"But even then… those being are vastly stronger than we believed! If they killed heroic gods without even a sweat…

" muttered Rhalorr.

"They are indeed formidable opponents. However, Bestellen, let me ask you something. Are you sure they are our enemies? Perhaps they merely want to live by themselves, why are you bothering them so much? Let the people be by themselves,

" said Chaneyr.

"What kind of question is that? Of course, they are the enemies. They had killed many innocents and also hold within them many fragments of the demon god-king. Their power is immense, and they had slaughtered heroic gods and battle popes alike. There is no discussion here, they are definitely the enemy, Chaneyr,

" said Bestellen.

"But you're the one that provoked it all, Bestellen. You sent all these people against them and caused their death. They were not actively seeking to kill any innocents. And can you call these people you sent innocents? They had taken many lives…

" said Phunana.

"That's right. After all, it was on your own accord that you sent them there… They had actually been helping anyone they came across, they defeated bandits, and even demon gods, potentially saving many lives that could have perished against them in the process. Or are you telling me that because a bandit is a human, he's more than a half-demon that has saved countless innocent lives?

" asked Uphy.

Bestellen felt suddenly pressured by three Gods at once, as Uphy, Chaneyr, and Phunana glared at him with their fiery eyes, their elemental divinities began to flash with a lot of essences.

Bestellen even opened his mouth a bit, his eyes felt tired, as if he was being pressured by his three siblings, not only by their words or power but because… he couldn't really find them in the wrong here.

He was the one that was purposedly trying to nasty his hands, trying to kill these people…

But it was because they were dangerous as well, the power they had could not be left as they were, and he also needed to bring balance and law into the world.

Despite the reason behind their words, Bestellen could not find it right yet, as Demons and Beast-kin were not people before his eyes.

However… was he always likes this?

Bestellen's mind suddenly began to change, as he started to regain some conscience which he had suppressed for thousands of years.

"What… is…? Eh… Why… I…

"

"Bestellen?!

" Rhalorr quickly ran towards Bestellen, checking if he was fine.

"If you're going to doubt like that, it won't do me any good! Stop being so doubtful!

" roared a voice within Bestellen's mind and divine soul, as a large and aquamarine eye within his soul began to extend its white tentacles and his mind started to be taken over even more…

"Ungh…! Aggh…!

"

Bestellen groaned in pain as he fell over the ground…

All the Gods glanced at him with eyes wide open… Just what happened?!

"Bestellen, are you okay?!

" asked Uphy.

"Brother!

" cried Phunana.

"What is going on with him?

" asked Chaneyr.

"It is your fault! Stop talking nonsense! Don't you see that you make him have headaches with your stupidity?! Also, your auras were showing off, perhaps that did something! Remember that Bestellen is still a bit weak after the last war…

" sighed Rhalorr.

However, Bestellen quickly regained his composure as he slowly sat down.

"I am fine… And about the things you previously said… I don't agree with them! I am the Law, and if I see Demons and Beast-kin as not people… They are not!

" roared Bestellen.
