Bestellen state shook his Pantheon, all the Gods that served him and also the other Bright Gods heard it loud and clear…

He was the Law. Therefore, if he said that Demons and Beast-kin were not people and that they were monsters, then it was the truth.

However, something else had happened that made him suddenly state this.

Something deeper within his soul, a mysterious entity that was parasitizing him and controlling his thoughts!

Just as Ervas and Veronica had seen it with the Future Bestellen, the Present Bestellen also had such an entity within him…

But the gods didn't know at all about this truth! They were completely in the blue over this. And had no idea what was happening… They only knew that from one point onwards in history, Bestellen changed and became different.

And as one of the strongest Gods and also as the one that represented Law, and who dictated the law of the world, whatever he thought was the correct

"world

" was then… the correct world.

However, Uphy, Chaneyr, and Phunana didn't act as in future Kritias. Now, there was something that altered Mirror Kritias' timeline and changed their minds, the appearance of Ervas and Veronica.

Due to this, they had been slowly guided by them unknowingly as they watched over them, not because they were brainwashed, but because they merely realized that they never thought of their brother. They had to raise their thoughts and voice their opinions, they had to express what they felt.

Unlike Future Kritias where they all ended helping him at the end, only to be betrayed by Bestellen as he went insane due to the parasite inside of his soul, who stole their divinities and sealed them, these versions of these three gods were different, and they were going to change the timeline even more.

"NO!

" they roared at the same time, fire, thunder, and winds clashed against Bestellen's mighty light and law divine aura, as the entire divine realm shook!

The Subordinate Gods with these three gods were surprised, most of them opened their mouths wide open, except Thora, the subordinate goddess of Phunana.

The explosion of divinities reached Bestellen as he was shaken once more…

"W-What did you say?! You dare… Do you dare go against my decisions?! I am the law!

" roared Bestellen.

"And we are the pillars of this world!

" said Uphy.

"We are fire, wind, and thunder, and we hold as much authority as you, Bestellen!

" said Chaneyr.

"We won't help you anymore. In fact, we are not going to stay here any longer either!

" said Phunana.

"Y-You dare do such a thing?! I never thought that you would go this far for some measly monsters!

" said Rhalorr.

"They are not monsters, they are people! You two are the insane ones!

" said Uphy.

"H-How dare you!

" roared Rhalorr.

"We are leaving…

" said Phunana.

"Wait, I won't let you leave as you please! If you are leaving now, then you are a traitor of the world! Of the order of everything! No less than the Dark Gods!

" said Bestellen.

"Then so be it!

" said Chaneyr.

The three Gods grabbed their subordinate Gods hurriedly as they began to retreat from the divine realm.

However!

"I won't let you go unscathed, traitors of the world!

"

Bestellen gathered large masses of divine energy within his hands as he created gigantic stakes of holy light, firing them at the three gods with immense precision!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The large stakes of holy light reached the three gods divine soul bodies, piercing their souls and creating big wounds where they began to slowly lose more and more energy…

They knew that if they were attacked with many of these, they would end up falling unconscious and sealed, so they resisted the pain and existed in the divine realm…

"Should we chase them down?

" asked Rhalorr.

"No… Leave them be… They'll grow weakened sooner or later,

" said Bestellen.

Uphy, Chaneyr, and Phunana quickly entered their divine realms and began to travel through the skies of the continent of Anir's Hands.

"So we actually did it! Unnghh…!

" said Uphy.

"Nnngh… Indeed…

" sighed Chaneyr.

"Now what?!

" asked Phunana.

"We have to go to the Demon Continent… Let's join back with our siblings…

" said Uphy.

"At long last…

" said Chaneyr.

"Will they accept us? They might attack us, even…

" sighed Phunana.

"That's why we'll go where THEY are first. Let's join them at long last!

" said Uphy.

"Ervas and… the other?

" asked Chaneyr.

"Who else?

" asked Uphy.

"We are really doing it… After this, Bestellen will never forgive us,

" said Phunana.

"It doesn't matter! I don't care anymore… I will not continue feeding on that monster's fetish for genocide anymore…

" said Uphy.

"True…. I also didn't like it, to be honest,

" said Chaneyr.

"Our other sealed siblings… How would they respond to this?

" wondered Phunana.

"Tikdall and Droella were not like us, but they were not like Bestellen either. I doubt they would agree with what he has done up until now since they fell asleep after fighting the Demon God King…

" said Uphy, referring to Tikdall, the God of Wisdom and Intelligence, and Droella, the Goddess of Time and Patience, two of their sealed siblings.

"And what about Kesheia?

" asked Phunana, referring to the Goddess of Life and Day.

"Kesheia is a gentlewoman, she is being held pretty much against her will cleansing the oceans, so they don't reach the continent. Let's go bring her with us. She might be growing tired already…

" said Uphy.

"But what about the miasma sea?! If she's not holding it back…

" said Chaneyr.

"It will take years for it to actually reach the continent, enough time for us to change things for the better,

" said Uphy.

"Fine… Alright, let's go where she is!

" said Chaneyr.

"And where is Ervas and the other?

" asked Phunana.

"They had recently reached the shores of the Demon Continent… there's a big party waiting for them there, it seems that monsters we didn't even know existed are there and had somehow learned about them… But I am confident that they can handle it,

" said Uphy.

The three gods flew through the skies, as they got closer to Kesheia.
