Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 1600 Divinity: Claiming the Unoccupied Throne

Chapter 1600 Divinity: Claiming the Unoccupied Throne

"Interesting. I'm curious about this new god."
Chimed in a playful voice from a demonic god who belonged to a unique pantheon. This pantheon consisted of seven chairs encircling a single ancient unoccupied throne.
The seven divine seats surrounding the demonic throne were occupied by seven demon gods, known among mortals as Demon Princes.
The consciousness of the six Demon Princes, seated around their divine chairs, shared their curiosity regarding the identity of the new god. Their interest was piqued as the newly emerged divine seat was in close proximity to their pantheon circle, suggesting a demonic inclination in the new god's divinity.
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, a chuckle echoed throughout the court, drawing the attention of the other gods to Beelzebub, the Prince of Gluttony from the demonic pantheon.
"Why do you find this amusing, Beelzebub?"
Inquired Samael, the Prince of Wrath, from his divine chair, his voice carrying an undertone of coldness as he focused on Beelzebub. For some reason, there was a sense of unease within him regarding the emergence of the new god.
"Hahaha. You'll find out soon. My liege arrived earlier than expected," Beelzebub chuckled, his response leaving Samael visibly displeased. This displeasure was soon converted into profound shock as Samael understood the meaning behind them.
"It can't be," Samael said with a mix of shock and anger as he looked at the demonic throne. The throne he wanted to claim.

Samael and Beelzebub had a long-standing enmity between them. Consequently, the other Demon Princes and gods from different pantheon circles were not surprised by their recurrent clashes.
Just as Samael was about to press Beelzebub for more answers, another unexpected event took place. The newly constructed divine seat within the celestial court dissolved into nothingness as if it had never existed.
"hm/ How strange. Did this newly emerged god lose their divinity right after claiming it?"
Expressed a surprised goddess, known as the Great Mother, who occupied the throne seat of her pantheon circle. She felt an odd familiarity with the newly emerged god.
Just when the gods assumed the new god's achievement was short-lived, changes occurred in the demonic throne within the pantheon circle. The previously unoccupied demonic throne began to have a new set of runes etched upon it.
The demonic throne was raised even higher than before and started absorbing the Origin Force around it.
Under the stunned gazes of the six Demon Princes and the hopeful gaze of another, the demonic throne was claimed, shocking all the gods.
The once-unoccupied throne was now occupied by the true inheritor of Elder Ichor.
"NO!"
The manifestation of the Demon Prince of Wrath let out a scream. Samael had long awaited the chance to claim the demonic throne, only to realize his efforts were in vain as someone had already claimed it.
This was not all. As the demonic throne was claimed, several divine seats started emitting creaking noises. The divine gods, whose divinities were centered around the element of water, discovered damage to their divinities, represented by cracks on their divine seats.
"Aaaaaaah!" cried a specific goddess from a distinct pantheon circle. Another scream echoed from a different pantheon circle. Wails and cries emanated from various parts of the celestial court. All the gods who suffered divinity damage shared one common trait—their divinities were linked to the element of water.
"This… how is this possible?"
The Great Mother was at a loss for words upon realizing that the emergence of a new god had led to harm to one of her subordinate goddesses within her pantheon circle. She couldn't believe that a newly emerged god could claim such a grand divinity that it would simultaneously damage the divinities of numerous divine entities.
"Hahahahaha," God Vulcan couldn't contain his laughter at the sight of many divine entities having their divinities harmed by a single, newly emerged god.
"This… this is fun. His divinity is water while mine is fire. Hahaha. I have a new enemy to spar with and further enhance my divinity. And I know who can help me find him."
God Vulcan was delighted by the emergence of the new god. He glanced in the direction of a particular pantheon circle, led by a Slumber Goddess sitting calmly on her throne, her eyes closed.
Upon the throne being claimed, the gods sensed that the newly emerged god had not yet become immortal. He was a mortal god, a demigod who had somehow managed to claim divinity. However, this realization shocked them even more.
Suddenly, a goddess's consciousness departed from her divine seat. She passed the Demon Princes and stood before the demonic throne. Studying the newly etched runes, she spoke grimly.
"This… this is indeed an inheritor of the Elder Ichor. He is here!"
The goddess said solemnly, indicating the gravity of the situation. The Inheritor of the Elder Ichor was prophesied to be the downfall of many gods, particularly those with primary elemental divinities.
"This god… he is not even 100 years old!" she revealed, making another startling statement.
"And he has already caused the deaths of billions of mortals," she uttered, her voice filled with shock as if she couldn't believe her own words.
"Hahahaha," God Vulcan laughed once more. "Causing the deaths of billions of mortals, huh? Already acting like a god. Now, I'm really eager to meet him," he said, rising from his throne.
"WHAT?" exclaimed a god, a mix of shock and fear evident in their voice.
"This… this has to be a mistake. A god who is not even 100 years old? How… how is that possible?" another goddess cried in disbelief from a different corner.
"Beelzebub!" the Demon Prince of Wrath bellowed at the Demon Prince of Gluttony, rising from his divine seat. "Do you know who this worm is?"
"Hehehe. Certainly, I know the identity of my liege. But you'd regret calling him a worm, Samael," Beelzebub said nonchalantly while sitting on his divine chair.
At this point, a particular goddess from the monster pantheon rose from her divine seat. Gazing longingly at the demonic throne, she appeared to confirm the identity of the one who had claimed it.
"It… it's him. My liege has returned in another form," the leader goddess of the monster pantheon said zealously as she looked at the newly claimed demonic throne.
Then, she glanced at Samael before continuing, "Samael, it seems all your strategies have failed." Goddess Echidna couldn't help but glare at the Slumbering Goddess, expressing disdain and resentment as she mocked Samael.
This horned goddess, who occupied the throne of monster pantheon, was recognized as Goddess Echidna.

AN: Goddess Echidna was mentioned in chapter 1506. She has also occupied VEH'S book cover currently. ;)
VEH punches in 1600th chapter and crosses another milestone with this release. Cheers!
