Chapter 308: Hitting The Jackpot!
—–
Within the capital city at the north pole, Valen, the Vampire Duke of the Planet of Amphibia sighed.
He already saw Faringer fly away, so he felt rather happy that things went relatively well, however, as of now, things were not going that well anymore, especially because he just got news about slaves disappearing over a single night.
And they were not just a few, or a dozen, it was ALL the slaves of a single city, and they were over 300 people… that all disappeared out of thin air.
What’s worse, their owners meet a terrible end as they were butchered into pieces and left on display for everyone living near them to see the gross scene.
“Could it be them? These damn Gods that defeated the trio of incompetents I sent to scout out, and then that killed my chimeras and made Faringer retreat… it hasn’t even been two days since that and they had already done something else, what’s next?!” sighed the vampire man, glaring down at a holographic window.
It was a call from Silver.
“What?” asked Valen.
“Sir, a giant frog is attacking the city… shall we evacuate?” asked Silver.
“What?! The damn frog showed up again? And the worst part is that it is so strong nobody can defeat that thing! We had not been touching the south continent precisely because of it…” sighed Valen.
“Wait… Sir, a group of Gods are approaching the city… I had never felt such divine auras before…” said Silver.
“Wait… Don’t tell me… Could these bastards be…? Heh… hahaha! Why are they coming there from all places? I don’t even get their goal… Silver, Brutus, Lucia, Ernesticia, go get rid of them with everything you got, abuse the frog! Lure it or something, I don’t care! Kill those gods!” said Valen.
“Understood!” Silver said, quickly shutting down the call.
Valen smiled maliciously as he looked down into the projection of the cameras, the frog was slowly approaching the city from the swamp sea, and a faraway group of bright dots of colors were also approaching it… to think that the stars would align for him today!
“This is a perfect opportunity to kill them now…” he said, as he smiled.
Meanwhile, Silver and the other three Gods quickly rushed outside of the city, circling around the enormous frog, and ignoring it, while trying to catch the other gods.
“Wait! Didn’t Valen-sama said that we should use the frog to kill them?” asked Lucia.
“Yeah, let’s use that giant thing. Thankfully, it is pretty slow…” said Brutus.
“You guys really never think things through, don’t you? Things were never that simple, those guys clearly want something with the frog, we’ll sit here and watch first what is what they want to do, after that, we strike.” Said Silver.
“Oh… I suppose that’s fair…” said Ernesticia.
“Hmmm… Okay…” sighed Brutus.
“But you’re right, what the heck do they want with the frog? Wait, are they coming to rescue the city?” wondered Lucia.
“I doubt it, if Valen-sama’s thoughts are correct, they’re the ones thar rescued the slaves and killed the owners… they might not even have any attachment to the city at all, there’s no reason on why they would ever try to rescue it from the giant frog. There’s certainly another different factor…” said Silver.
The gods quickly camouflaged themselves by entering their divine realms and staying inside, while opening small crevices that led outside, so they could look through what was happening, without actually being outside, this was one of the various benefits of being a god, the ability to enter your own divine realm and “deposit” them within the spatial layers, which made the very fabric of space.
Unaware of these bystanders, Abyss led her team, as they flew at an incredible speed towards the frog, finally finding it from afar.
“There it is! Damn it, to think we used to run away from this thing, but now it has been so hard to find it…” sighed Abyss.
“How do we do this though? Do we just let Nesephise sing and that’s all?” asked Yuki.
“Yes, that’s how it should go…” said Natalia.
“Good luck, Nesephise!” said Rot.
“The frog is advancing slowly; this should be your chance.” Said Belphegor.
Nesephise flew towards the frog at the side of Abyss, who was going to take out the egg when the time was perfect.
The frog, who was slowly swimming towards the shore, suddenly stopped moving.
Its gargantuan body slowly moved backwards, glaring down at the ones that had dared to approach her…
“…”
“Now, Nesephise!” said Abyss.
“A-Alright!” said Nesephise.
She flew near the frog who looked down at her with intrigue, her entire aura emanated something… something that made the frog not immediately turn aggressive, there was something that made her special.
The spirit of the frog totem emerged behind Nesephise, as she began to sign, a melody of tranquility, peace, and tolerance. In her melody, she asked the frog to please listen to them, and to not be blinded by rage, that they had their child, and that they would retrieve it to her right now.
“…!”
The frog somehow understood her song, and felt exasperated, but quickly calmed herself down.
Nesephise nodded to Abyss, as Abyss took out a large egg from her divine realm.
The egg was…
It was… just what it was looking for!
The frog’s eyes sparkled with happiness, as it opened its mouth and its tongue quickly caught the egg, retrieving it towards her.
The frog was happy, cleaning her egg with her tongue, the little tadpole inside seemed cheerful as well.
But Nesephise continued singing, and asked the frog if it could please bring outside the people, it had swallowed… as a favor after they found her egg and brought it back to her…
“…”
The frog suddenly opened its mouth, and a downpour of water rushed outside!
SPLAAAAAASSSSSHH!!!
Alongside large quantities of debris and ruins floating over the swamp ocean, there was a certain enormous building floating over the water, leaking a tremendous amount of darkness from within!
Abyss smiled, that darkness… it was certainly Chaos!
However, at the same time, four suspicious figures were looking at the scene in disbelief…
“Heh… Hahaha! They can communicate with the frog?! I’ve hit the jackpot!” thought Silver, a malicious and greedy smile emerged on his face.
