636: Return
"It does seem that way now," The goddess of Destiny let out, glancing at the remnants of the Palace that were falling from the sky in the distance.
Looking at the destruction that was caused, it was obvious that Chaos was strong. No weak person could have destroyed the High Palace, especially from right under the nose of the High Gods. Moreover, despite all that, he seemingly managed to escape.
"It's just that he was targeting kids and others one by one instead of coming at us openly. That made us think that he was weak. It's clear we have been wrong," She further added. "What shall we do now? It seems like the next war is going to be even more fierce."
"It does seem that way. But this time, he's not alone," The High God answered.
"Huh? What do you mean, he's not alone?" The God of Flames asked. "Are you talking about Janus? He's not even a threat before Chaos. We can take him down easily."
"I'm not talking about Janus," The High God answered, sighing.
"What do you mean then?" The Gods asked, stunned. "Is there anyone else supporting him?"
"Not just anyone," The High God answered. "It's not a random being but one of the oldest and most knowledgeable. It's someone who lived two lives!"
"Someone who lived two lives? Who?"The God of War inquired, not being able to guess.
"The Goddess of Reincarnation is with him!" the High God explained.
"It can't be! It's impossible!"
"How could that be?"
"Didn't the Goddess of Reincarnation fail her third reincarnation and die?"
"That's right! I remember as if it was just yesterday when the Goddess of Nature came before us and told us that she was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Reincarnation!"
"I remember that too! After that, she tried to go through another reincarnation right before us, but she failed! Only her ashes were left behind! I was there watching it personally!"
"I was there too! I remember being shocked as I saw her core being destroyed right before my eyes! If I'm not wrong, Chaos and the High Gods were there too!"
The High Gods sighted as they nodded. "That's right. We were there as well."
"In fact, the Goddess of Reincarnation lived before we were even born. We only read about her when we grew up! So finding out about her coming back through reincarnation was shocking."
"We were all surprised to know that she had been living as the Goddess of Nature in this reincarnation
"That's why we had offered her a position in the High Council of Gods, but she refused, saying she wasn't interested." the High Gods explained.
"Ah, I remember that too! She's one of the only two gods who received the invitation to join the High Council but refused. The other one was Chaos," The Goddess of Water let out, remembering about the incident.
"Actually, the Goddess of Reincarnation was the person who started the High Council in the first place. In her first life, she was the first member of the High Council with six more people," the High God said, remembering what is read.
"Except for one, all the High Gods from that Council are dead. As for the one, she was the Goddess of Reincarnation herself."
"That was also one of the reasons we offered her the position. But she refused, saying that she wasn't interested."
"So she's alive? How? What is happening in this world? First, the Goddess of Reincarnation returned from death, and now Chaos returned from death? Is someone toying with the laws of Nature?" The Goddess of Destiny asked.
"Wait! I remember! The bracelet that Chaos created? Wasn't it created to toy with the Laws of Nature? Could it be that this is the reason he was able to return?" she abruptly let out, remembering something. "High Gods, do you remember seeing that bracelet on the wrist of Chaos?"
"Ah, that's right. I did see a bracelet," One of the High Gods let out. He even described the color.
"Ah, that's right! It's the same color the bracelet was! That proves it! He has regained the bracelet! He must have received the Powers of the bracelet as well! That is why he's so strong!"
" That's also why he managed to reverse death! That's also why he's safe after all this. Moreover, that should also be what brought the Goddess of Reincarnation back to life!"
As the Goddess of Destiny gave her theory, almost everyone nodded their heads. It made sense. They had known from the start that the bracelet he was creating was a cursed item, which was why they waged a War on Chaos despite having so much risk.
"We waged a War to stop him from using the bracelet, and it still fell in his hands. We failed!"
"Yes! We failed, and it's all because of that Janus! He is the one who convinced us to send the bracelet and the Fragments to unknown places! That must be how he was able to find them and regain his power!"
"That means it's all the fault of Janus! That little traitor pushed the entire Heaven in the path of destruction!. I'm going to kill the insect when I find him!" The God of War roared.
"Not only you, but I'm also going to kill that insect!"
"Me too! It's all because of him! I'll kill him!"
One after another, all Gods started chanting "Death to Janus."
"Silence! Janus is a minor problem at this time. He did what he wanted to do, but we need to think about a bigger problem!" The Goddess of Destiny yelled
" The big problem is that Chaos has returned, and he's stronger than before! Moreover, he's not alone! He has the support of the Goddess of Reincarnation for some reason!" She further added.
"Moreover, Chaos brought her back to life! So he could have corrupted her soul to support him! We won't be facing Chaos but also the Goddess of Reincarnation! We must think about them first! Janus will get his punishment, but first, let's take out Chaos!" She further added.
She turned to look at the High Gods. "Do you know where he might be?"
"I know where he is. But it's a place none of us would be willing to go," the High God answered.
"Where could that place be?" The God of War asked. "Just tell us! We'll surround him!"
"You can't surround him there. That place is bigger than you think.. I doubt you could even find him if you went there," The High God key out, sighing.
