Chapter 72: Tonantzin
Chapter 72: Tonantzin
"You killed Jord" the Sect mater asked as his flames slowly got even stronger.
"She was weak, no worshippers, no pantheon, I merely relieved her of the duty of holding up that pantheon for so long" the female said before the ground beneath her slowly began to
move.
Forming waves like water, the earth sprung up as they tried to swallow up the man but he immediately split it with his spear as he aimed to go on the offensive.
"You both recognize that this mountain is a national treasure, right?... If your fighting destroys it, I don\'t think your world remains much of a secret" a new voice was heard.
"Human?" the lady asked surprised
None of then had sensed the presence of a third person within the cave
"I was told an evil god is trying to kill another god, is that you?" the young man asked "Kid run away from here, she will kill you!!" the man shouted
"Normally I would but currently she can\'t do such a thing, please answer my question or I have no problem killing the both of you" the young man said as he began walking closer to them.
"Who are you?" The lady asked
"David Nnaji, current Editor of the Universe, so now I ask again, who is the evil god here?" David asked
Soon David found the two on the floor with their faces on the ground. Seeing them, his anger quickly despitated
"Your Excellency?" the two greeted with a sceptical look on their faces.
Looking at their reaction, David was a bit surprised. He knew of the sort of power and authority he commanded but this would be the first time he would be seeing it in action.
"You two can forgo those fancy necessities, Now I ask again, who is the god that plans to kill another" David asked again.
The work of an Editor was surprisingly almost the same as that of a policeman.. Well not exactly, it was the Editor\'s duty to ensure that there was balance.
The Editor\'s Manual emphasised on that a lot. Of course, Nous was also glad to explain that this didn\'t mean that They were to go around stopping every event from taking place.
This case was special in that regard, a god had been killed and another was to be killed. Gods may not seem all that important due to how many they were who shared nearly the same divinity.
Like Thor and Zeus, Gaia and Jord etc. There were too many of them but all of them were important just like each cloud was important to the water cycle.
Or how each species was important to the Ecosystem. Kill one and the entire thing begins to have problems and his duty was to safeguard the entire thing, not just one.
If they fought a war then it was none of his business, but if a god decides to go on a killing spree then things are sort of different.
"She is the one, your Excellency, Tonantzn has already killed Jord and now she plans to do the same to Houto" the man shouted as he pointed towards her
"Is that true?" David asked her.
The lady in question simply knelt with a dark expression on her face. David could feel the immense power within her, she was a primordial like Jord and the Houto.
"Why do you care?" she asked as she suddenly stood up as her aura flared up
"Honestly I don\'t, my job is to punish the sinner" David said before pointing his finger towards her.
As soon as he did so, the man saw her turn into two things, a small container and the other an orb. David went on to pick the two up from the ground.
"You are safe now, you and your people are free to continue as you were" David said as he turned around to start going
"My lord, if I may ask, what would you do with her divinity and that which she has stolen?"
"All came from the Earth and all will return to the Earth, safeguard your goddess, old man, you have done the universe a great deed and will be rewarded in time" David said before suddenly vanishing from the cave.
"Thank you, my lord" The man said before kowtowing in the direction he believed David to have gone.
Meanwhile above the Earth, the stars moved as a humanoid figure was formed. The Earth was nothing but a pebble in its hand.
All gods knelt in reverence as the Demons bowed in worship. It was neither a God nor a Devil, it was far beyond them but below the Creator of all, the Administrators.
The Editor
"Jord was Scandinavian right? Also considering it\'s Jord, will their pantheon be okay without her?"
Thoughts filled space for all who were powerful enough as David tried to figure out where to return the powers stolen.
[I don\'t think you need to worry about that, the Earth will right itself, it is the mother of all, it\'s essence shall be returned to where needs it the most] Nous suddenly spoke after a while of
silence
"Oh that makes sense" David said as he let the orb go
As the Orb descended on the planet, it split in two as each one slammed into the planet completely unnoticed by anyone.
The powers of a Primordial wasn\'t something a normal god or devil could match or even sense. David felt and could see the two orbs of power merge with the planet itself as a sense of stability suddenly returned to it.
Well not just it but the universe as a whole, to the universe it was a nearly inconsequential disturbance but to the planet, it was devastating.
With his work here done, he dissipated the cosmic body he had manifested with as he found himself back on the mountain in his study.
