Chapter 1287: God’s Gathering
On the 10th of march, Abel sat in his star light protection circle during lunchtime with Doff's second body by his side.
In front of him was the spirit connection circle, and his star light protection circle was fully ignited.
"Doff, let's start!" Abel nodded.
"Yes master!" Doff waved his hand, and a golden strand of energy flew forward, and an energy ball began to expand from the circle.
Abel was not expecting the spirit connection circle to work like this. He thought it would transfer Doff's energy somewhere since he could already see the faces of people with normal communication circles.
Therefore, Abel had his soul locked to Doff's, ready to join the meeting through the soul chain at any time.
But he hesitated. Was it going to work?
He didn't know if the gods knew about his connection to Doff.
But he was sure of one thing, any capable god would be seeking out information about Doff.
When the golden energy ball engulfed Doff's second body, it began to shift.
Abel stood next to Doff, and soon gods began to emerge around him.
First was a goddess shining natural beauty. She was the goddess of the moon.
Although he met the goddess of the moon before through the godsend, he never saw the goddess of the moon's true form.
Hidden between her hair were a pointy nose and a pair of pointy ears. It was no wonder why she was the goddess of elves.
The second to appear was a dwarf, which Abel felt very familiar with. It was the energy of a furnace.
Then there was a cold-looking human goddess. The water-energy on her almost made Abel feel like he was looking at a blue dragon.
There was also a hooded god with only 2 green flames emerging from within, which Abel could sense Death qi.
Beside him was a fat god in a luxurious golden robe with a big smile on his face. That robe had the energy of a holy object. It seemed like it would be a hassle to fight in it.
Finally was another smiling goddess. Her energy was extremely peaceful, and Abel could sense the energy of the earth.
"Hello Abel, nice to see you again!" The goddess of the moon was not surprised. Instead, she greeted like she was seeing an old friend.
By that point, Abel was sure that the goddess of the moon knew Doff was his summon. He interacted with the goddess of the moon before. She was friendly, but he could still sense her prestige back then.
But today, she was talking to him like an equal.
"God of war!" The dwarf called with shock just when Abel was about to speak.
The other gods were stunned as well.
"God of fire, the god of war is dead. This is the new god of war!" The goddess of moon smiled and then turned to Abel "god of war, this is the god of fire, the god of blacksmiths!"
Doff then nodded and left everything back to Abel.
"Goddess of moon, how come there is a non-god here? Please tell him to go!" That fat god with a smile said with a smile.
"Let me introduce Abel first before everyone decides to make him leave!" The goddess of the moon looked around and continued, "Abel is a recognised blue dragon, and my elves' Grandmaster alchemist, the tree of life's equal, and the owner of the god of war! I think he deserves to stay!"
"What? The owner of the god of war?" The gods gasped.
As for his other identities, they were also very prestigious.
"I think the god of death and the goddess of water also got the news too?" The goddess of the moon turned to the hooded god and the goddess with water energy
"Yes, blue dragon Abel, I think you should stay!" The god of death said with a sandpaper-like voice.
"Hello, Blue dragon Abel. I'm happy to interact with you!" The goddess of water added.
Abel then bowed at the two.
"God of fire, I am a Grandmaster Blacksmith recognised by the dwarves as well!" Abel began to introduce.
"Haha, I knew you were a big hammer holder the moment I saw you!" The god of fire laughed.
"Blue dragon Abel, I am the goddess of earth. I don't have any problem with you staying!" She spoke with peace tone, without any excitement or anger.
"Ah, peace brings fortune. Since all of you agree, then I have nothing to say! I am the god of wealth!" That fat god changed his attitude.
"Abel, since you represent the god of war, let me introduce how the god alliance works. We are recognised by the wizard union. By bonding together we are able to interact with them on a more equal ground!" The goddess of the moon smiled.
Abel immediately realized why there was no fight between the gods and the wizard union.
Although the power of one god is limited, forming an alliance was a different story.
"Goddess of the moon, are you inviting the god of war to join the alliance?" Abel asked
"Joining the alliance needs every god to agree, so I can't say, but we never expected a new god would join when we started the alliance anyway!" The goddess of the moon gave out a helplessly bitter smile.
"Yeah, the times of gods have passed, we are the only ones remaining and there are not a single new god created in the last thousands of years !" The god of fire sighed.
"But that's not the point of this gathering today anyway. We will reserve our judgment once we get to know the god of war, or you, a little better!" The god of water smiled.
"Abel, if the god of war had more holy crystals, I would like to exchange some!" The goddess of the moon got straight to the point with a smile and signaled the god of death and god with water with a gaze.
Those 3 gods must have seen the report from the wizard union, but since she was closer to Abel, she was the only one who had the right to ask.
"Goddess of moon, what are you going to give out and how many do you need?" Abel was already expecting this before he came here.
"Abel, I will give Lorraine's soul to you in the future. I'm sure you know how valuable the soul of a saint is! So let's say 10 holy crystals !" The goddess of moon smiled.
Lorraine was the spokesperson for the goddess of the moon in the common world, and the amount of faith she could generate for her kingdom was scary.
But still, 10 holy crystals was a little too much.
"Goddess of moon, thanks for taking care of Lorraine during this time, so I'll go according to your will, but I just hope you can continue to protect her!" Abel smiled and took out 10 holy crystals to place on the spirit connection circle.
The eyes of all the gods immediately began to sparkle.
Was that all it took to get holy crystals?
The goddess of the moon also understood what Abel signified. Those crystals were not for Lorraine's soul, but to thank her for taking care of Lorraine.
Lorraine was not even an adult elf, so it was a way to learn to discuss which kingdom her soul should return to.
At the same time, the goddess of the moon knew this also guaranteed there would be no conflict between her and Abel.
"Blue dragon Abel, holy crystals are very important for the god of war's holy kingdom. Please don't give them out so willingly!" The god of fire warned.
He had been in sleeping, so he didn't know much about Abel and Doff's condition.
If Abel didn't tell the wizard union that thief god Milton had stolen a big chunk of holy crystals from the holy kingdom, they would have kept Doff and Abel's identity a secret as well.
But considering how serious the condition was, they just couldn't hide it.
"God of fire, you'll get used to it. The god of war not only created his holy kingdom already, he also has 2 bodies, if I'm right, this should be his second body!" The goddess of water turned to the god of fire humbly.
"What?" The god of fire felt a little embarrassed as he scanned Doff. Indeed, this was a second body.
The other gods also began to look at this god of war, standing in silence. Although they had never seen a second godhead before, they were all truly old monsters, and they all had their way to testifying if the god of war had 2 bodies.
"Blue dragon Abel, do you want some holy objects? I havea holy nail, do you want to buy it for 10 holy crystals?" The god of fire immediately asked in excitement.
Abel was speechless. The status of a blacksmith in the Central Continent could not even come close to the ones in the holy continent. Their skills were too insufficient to satisfy the truly powerful professionals.
Not to mention, there were many knights in the Holy Continent that relied on weapons.
As for law-defying wizards, they often had a hard time finding spiritual beasts of their rank to make their magic staff.
The dwarves in the Central Continent were known for making triggers and puppets, which pushed forgery to the fringe.
Abel had no need for holy nails. All he needed was a blank gear to put sockets on and make rune words. He rarely even needed to use his blacksmith skills, let alone needing a holy object to assist him.
Even if he did, nothing came close to his Horadric Malus anyway.
