Chapter 54: The God's Pantheon.

As Lavi was going back to his own place... He felt a very intense burn coming from his hand. Although it was painful, Lavi still able to ignore the pain and focused on going back. But still, he is amazed about the fact that Theo managed to injured his most powerful hand, a hand that is covered by the power of the End itself.

'This power... It's definitely the Cataclysm... So even that thing has fallen to the hand of Theo... Impressive enough, Theo... I'll let you off for today because I have found of use for you...'

Lavi was thinking hard in the twisted web that was spun by Theo and himself. That web was supposed to be filled with twisted hatred that will lead them to kill each other. But Lavi managed to spun a new web and that would lead to something...

As Lavi was going back... He heard Althea's voice within his mind... Communicating with him to ease the loneliness of Lavi.

'It seems like you're going rogue of your own plan, Lavi.' Said Althea telepathically. Although the fact that Lavi's straying from their plan should make Althea at least a bit mad, but she only sounded... Intrigued.

"Hmmm... Sorry about this, Althea... But, you should know for a fact that I had other plan right now... Right?"

'Indeed I do. And I have to say, your current plan is indeed interesting. I never thought you would be the one who stray from the path of the Ancient One... Not to mention, you become a being of Ancient yourself... Interesting indeed!' Althea seemed to be excited about Lavi.

Lavi's obviously shook knowing that Althea realized what his plan is. He didn't say anything about his plan to anyone, yet Althea immediately know it in an instant...

That leads to Althea telling Lavi 'Do you want me to reveal to everyone about your plan? Or do you want to tell them yourself?'

Lavi pondered a bit. He was silent but thinking about it hard... He knows that it would be much easier to let Althea handle everything. But still, the blame would still be on him. But, Lavi knows that if he's the one who tell them about his intention, everyone can only be silent and quietly disagree with Lavi.

"I'll say it to them myself. Because, from now on, I'm not a God anymore. I have ascended to become the new Ancient Beings!" Lavi say that to Althea clearly and full of conviction. Proving a point to Althea that now, his call is absolute and everything has to follow it.

'Ooh, A very egoistic move by you. But, alright. I'll trust your decision. I'll wait for you in the Pantheon along with the others.'

"Thanks, Althea. I'll leave the gathering to you!" After Althea cut the telepathy... Lavi started to get even faster to quickly reach the Pantheon, after all... This is something that he wanted to say and there's no other plan than his plan now.

The God's Pantheon, where divine beings gathered to discuss the fate of the cosmos, was a place of awe-inspiring splendor. It existed beyond the realms of time and space, a realm of existence where the laws of the universe were woven by divine hands.

The entrance to the Pantheon was marked by colossal, intricately carved gates of iridescent crystal, leading into a magnificent hall that seemed to stretch into infinity. The walls of the hall were adorned with tapestries of cosmic events, each thread woven from stardust and the dreams of gods.

Massive columns, carved with the symbols and sigils of various deities, soared to the heights of the celestial heavens. They supported a vast, domed ceiling that shimmered with galaxies and nebulae, their light casting an ethereal glow upon the gathering below.

At the center of the Pantheon stood the Council Table, a vast, circular platform of polished marble adorned with runes of ancient power. It was here that the gods convened to deliberate and make decisions that would shape the destiny of the universe.

The Council Table was surrounded by majestic thrones, each crafted from the heart of a dying star and etched with the history and knowledge of the cosmos. These thrones represented the divine seats of the gods, a reflection of their hierarchy and influence.

A river of temporal energy meandered through the Pantheon, its currents shifting and shimmering with the flow of time itself. It was said that this river was the very essence of the God of Time, Theo, a testament to his dominion over the ebb and flow of moments.

The Pantheon was also adorned with statues of ancient gods and cosmic beings, their likenesses frozen in time, a tribute to their enduring legacy. These statues seemed to watch over the proceedings, their eyes filled with the wisdom of the ages.

The atmosphere within the Pantheon was thick with divine energy, a palpable force that resonated with the very essence of the gods. It was a place where whispers of destiny and cosmic secrets echoed through the ages, a sanctuary where the fate of the universe was decided.

As gods gathered at the Council Table, the Pantheon came alive with a symphony of power and presence. The very air seemed to shimmer with their arrival, and the cosmic tapestry above pulsed with anticipation.

The God's Pantheon was a place where the divine convened, a realm where the past, present, and future converged. It was a testament to the grandeur and significance of their cosmic roles, a place where the universe itself bowed to their divine authority.

"So, why are we here, Althea?" Asked one of the gods toward Althea. Althea just stared at him and the Pantheon seemingly reacted to Althea's emotion of slight hostility. Because Althea is one of the highest ranking Goddess, the Pantheon naturally follow her up and then let out an intense atmosphere that choke everyone...

"For now, we have to wait for the one who wanted me to arrange this meeting..."

"... Is it Lavi?" They asked, making sure that Lavi is the one calling them.

Naturally, Althea nodded, but after nodding to confirm their question, she immediately follow up with "Do keep in mind, Lavi's position right now, is not as the God of the End..."

"Huh?" Question rises from the gods, even from Lavi's family itself... They didn't understand what Althea mean by that...

"Does Lavi came here as Shireno's King? Or as a normal human?" Asked Sharion. Althea looked at her with a cheeky smile and said "You'll see soon enough"

Then, the entire Pantheon... Started to play a symphony that never been heard before... It was an ominous, heavy, and terrifying symphony that put shivers down everyone spine... Including Althea...

It was, Lavi's presence that forced the Pantheon to play that symphony to accompany him as he enter the Pantheon...
