A war between worlds was something that no one wanted, especially when the enemy would be a family member.

There were hundreds and thousands of rules that govern the World Tree and these are rules that we're set by the Supreme G.o.d. They were set to restrict and enforce the authority of the G.o.ds; that was the reason why each True World G.o.d mainly stay in their own world.

One rule said: No G.o.d should interfere in the affair of a True World G.o.d's world.

Earth was different, as any G.o.ds could have some influence on it but the ruler of that world was still Raul and Gaia. No one can undermine their rules as they were the True World G.o.ds of Earth.

Lucifer wasn't really angry that his brother killed the demons and devils, what he was angry about was that he didn't want to tell him. If he didn't sense the demonic aura on his body, he would not know. He only had so many intelligent demons and devils under him, so losing any of them was a big loss for him.

The number of intelligent demons and devils in h.e.l.l was just a little over a thousand; with the Lesser Demons and Devils filling the rest of the world. For every thousand Lesser Demons there was, one intelligent devil or demon who would be born.

Flying through the air, he had the urge to use his Divine Authority of Blazing Pride and kill all undead he sees. However, Lucifer knew while Yama was a sinister individual, he was a person who had a warm spot for his family. He could understand that Yama didn't want his future nephew or niece to be harmed. Not many could be said to have such a protective family member.

Lucifer signed, clearing his heart up. He knew his Divine Authority of Blazing Pride was a double-edged sword which if he's not careful could influence his emotions and thoughts. Like a moment ago, if he had let go of reason and accept the killing intent and evil thoughts in his mind, he was afraid he would become a Killing G.o.d, with only slaughter on his mind.

He flew through the air and sense the locations of his brothers were before following behind them. He felt embarra.s.sed about his reaction and his almost descent to a Killing G.o.d, making him unsure of how to face his brothers. He was thick-skinned but not at the level of blocking the 'sinister' words of Yama.

*

Stepping through the [Gate], Yama arrived inside a black tower which was surrounded by many magical graphs, which were both on the ground and on the walls of the tower. With all the magical graphs, the defense of this tower could be called unbreakable in any world as even G.o.ds would be hard press to shake it.

This tower was is called a Teleportation Center, an advanced version of the Teleportation Gate. A Teleportation Gate can teleport someone across worlds, however it couldn't pinpoint an exact location; which was the reason why Raul kept on arriving in the skies every time he teleports using the Teleportation Gate. However the Teleportation Center was different as when one teleports across worlds, one can choose a specific spot to arrive at. This made Teleportation Centers above that of a Teleportation Gate in the field of accuracy in teleporting.

As he stood there, Yama was waiting for Raul to arrive through the portal. As he waited, Yama lifts his head, showing his green eyes that shone brightly as he stares at the location he just came from. He raised a hand, pointing in front of him, before deciding not to attack in the end. "Brother, I hope you don't do anything too drastic, it's okay if you kill my subordinates, but leave the Yama Kings and Yama Generals alone, that's my bottom line." Yama said softly as he stood silently.

He had a sense the presence of his big brother Divine Authority of Blazing Pride, which was about to be activated; so he knew his big brother was really mad this time. Thankfully as he waited, Yama felt the Divine Authority of Blazing Pride fades away without activating.

If his brother had attacked, he wouldn't have done anything, as long as he didn't touch the Yama Kings and Yama Generals. He could easily summon or create enough undead to take the place of his fallen subordinates. However, since his brother didn't attack, he didn't have to waste any energy.

At this moment, Raul step through the portal, which disappear soon after. Before he could readjust himself, Raul frowned as he felt his brother's divine authority heating up, before transforming into flames that cleanse his body of negative energy before turning silent again.

Yama notices the abnormalities of Raul, making him pointed at him, " Don't move."A long black wrinkled finger came out of Yama's black cloak, touching Raul on his head. As the finger touch Raul, Lucifers Divine Authority of Blazing Pride faded away, like snow in the presence of sunlight.

If this was the complete divine authority of Lucifer, Yama would not be able to cleanse it so easily; as a divine authority was apart of the operations of the rules of the World Tree. Even a trace of a divine authority had terrifying power to kill millions of mortals. This was also the reason that even though DemiG.o.ds touch the seat of divinity, they couldn't compare to obtaining a divine piece of the rules of the tree. This was the difference between a Half-G.o.d and a True G.o.d.

After the Divine Authority of Blazing Pride faded away from his body, Raul felt a powerful and creepy unknown divine authority power seep into his body and covered his insides, absorbing all the negative energy around, creating a grey bead inside his body.

Yama nodded and said "That bead is called a Negative Bead, it will absorb negative energy around you, making it so it doesn't affect you anymore. However, this bead will fade away if it's not given any energy. I can see you are weak to the atmosphere in my world, so I suggest you feed this bead and have it in time of need."

"Thank you, brother." Raul bows slightly extremely thankfully for this Negative Bead. If he could gain more items or abilities like this, he could eliminate all his weaknesses and become a really powerful Battle G.o.d.

Raul really had too many weaknesses that could cause him to die if he's not careful of, when he fights someone of equal power as him. His biggest weakness, however, was his nonexistent long-range abilities. If he could find a weapon or even gain a skill that eliminates this weakness, he would no longer have to fear fighting at a distance as no one could defeat him, other than truly powerful G.o.ds.

"No need to be polite. If I can help you, just let me know." Yama shook his head, becoming silent as he thought about if he should tell Raul about that woman. After weighing the pros and cons, Yama, in the end, decides against it, because even though that woman was powerful, even to some G.o.ds, she is not an opponent of Raul. Raul might have that happy go lucky look on his face all the time and lazy, but how could Raul terrifying strength go unnoticed from him? If Raul fought inside his world, even he would have a hard time to defeat him; however, he knew that Raul Divine Authority of Earth was overpowered inside his world, anywhere else and it would barely be able to show up. That was the reason Raul couldn't cleanse the negative energy inside his body by himself.

Raul smile, not knowing how to continue the conversation. Yama was truly cold and quiet most of the time but Raul could see he had a warm heart as he helps and guides him.

Not knowing Raul's thought, Yama smiled and laughed a little, making the air creepy. He walked deeper into the tower and activated the teleportation circle on the ground. After finis.h.i.+ng, he turns around and said to his brother," Let's go, Lucifer will follow us from behind. " Yama didn't say anymore as he stepped in the teleportation circle, disappearing from where he stood.

Raul nodded and walked to the circle, not wanting to stay inside this world any longer, even with the aid of the Negative Bead. h.e.l.l and the Nether World we're places he definitely didn't want to be at. Both places seem hostile to him, which was bad since he couldn't use all his strength with the divine authority restricted by him, not being on Earth.

As Raul and Yama disappear, Lucifer steps out of the shadows, knowing that Yama knew he was there. There was truly nothing he didn't know which was frightening; even a thought one had might even be something he already knew of.

Lucifer knew he will have to get over his emotions and embarra.s.sment, thus he stepped into the circles, ascending to Heaven; which was ironic to him since even the original Devil would be nervous end cautious of Heaven, but he was somewhat expectant of what is to come.

Boom!!

Rain slammed her bedroom door as she flew to her bed, putting her fluffy pillows over her head, trying to surface himself.

She had just come back from talking to one of her teachers, the Celestial Lord of the West, Yahweh, a True G.o.d. Raina was upset whenever she learn stuff from him. The reason was because he was teaching her the mindset of a Creation G.o.d and how to react with one's followers and wors.h.i.+pers.

She would not have been mad if he was actually teaching things that made sense. All he taught her was c.r.a.p! Excuse her divine language.

Let's take for example things he had thought her in the last hour. What to do when you don't get you way? Flood the world and pick a few individuals to restart civilization. This alone made her angry as she doesn't want to kill people, that's not her job. Her job was to protect and take care of the good souls that came under her wing from the Nether World.

A few more examples and one would get were her hatred and confusion comes from. What to do if people don't wors.h.i.+p you? Support a different faction amongst the group and call the other group heretics, before slaughtering them!! What to do if people don't act the way you wanted? Burn a city to the ground to make an example out of them!!

From this, one can see how cruel the Celestial Lord of the West was. Everything must end with people dying to put the fear of G.o.d in their hearts. Raina knew if she follows what her teacher said, people would not genuinely wors.h.i.+p her; they would act the part and follow the majority, not wanting to be the odd one out.

Everything that the Celestial Lord of the West taught he couldn't be used by her at all. She was not a Creation G.o.d but a Holy G.o.d. She was the Divine G.o.ddess of Heaven; a G.o.ddess whose divine authority was Heaven itself. This means her divine authority was like Rauls however unlike her brother when she leaves Heaven, her power would drop from a powerful True World G.o.d to a regular True G.o.d. She would not be able to use her divine authority the moment she left Heaven.

Moving the pillow away, Raina got herself ready as her next teacher would be coming soon. This teacher of hers was one of her favorite teachers. While Yahweh taught her the mentally of a G.o.d, the Celestial Lord of Thunder Zeus thought her about how to use and control her divine abilities. He thought her how and when to use a spell to improve her damage output.

To Raina his lesson we're very important to her as she didn't have many attack spells and wasn't a warrior at all. She had the role of support inside a team, as she has many divine and holy spells at her fingertips. Raina was even sure that no one could best her in this aspect, not even her father.

In Heaven there were Seven Celestials, who were powerful True G.o.ds who could fight a True Word G.o.d to a draw or even win. Each of these Celestials rule over one of the floors inside the Tower of Heaven. The lowest floor was the domain of Yahweh, with the last floor being her domain. The floor below her was where her Archangels, seven in total, who were True G.o.ds, but only slightly stronger than a DemiG.o.d lives.

As she waited for Zeus, Raina's golden eyes flashed as she teleported from the Tower of Heaven to the Heavenly Bridge that resides outside of the Tower of Heaven, unlike the rest of its body, which pierce through the Tower of Heaven, creating a platform for traveling inside this world.

The moment Raina disappear, on the ninth floor of the Tower of Heaven, Raina's residence, a seated figure sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened his golden eyes, which were not as mystical as Raina's eyes but still powerful looking.

The figure had in his hands a string of beads and an orange robe on his body. His head was bald and s.h.i.+ning, even more so than a mirror. On his head, eight red dots line the front part. His ears were long, almost like elephant ears, only on a human body. His skin was white and clear, looking better than a baby's skin. Altogether, this figure looks like an esteemed monk that has achieved enlightenment of all things.

If anyone inside Heaven had seen this figure, they would shout, Celestial Lord of Nirvana, Lord Buddha! Lord Buddha was the most powerful figure inside Heaven and was the G.o.dfather of Raina, making his status extremely n.o.ble.

Lord Buddha look at Raina's destination before closing his eyes and continued chanting. He had already seen her fate, seeing she was safe and not fated to see the River of Forgetfulness anytime soon.

Standing on the Heavenly Bridge, Raina waited as she felt a teleportation circle that lead to the Heavenly Bridge activated. She knew only DemiG.o.ds and above could activate any Teleportation Gates or Teleportation Centers in the World Tree to do world travel. The reason she came to check the arrivals was that it's customary to tell the True Word G.o.d of the world one is teleporting to ahead of time, so they don't have to worry; however, she didn't get a [Message] which made her slightly worried but not much. If it is an enemy,she would have known long ago as such movements would be told to each True World G.o.d to make them get ready for battle.

As she waited, a teleportation circle appeared on the Heavenly Bridge, not too far away from her, from which Raul and Yama came from. Not even a second after them, was Lucifer who had an embarra.s.sing expression on his face. Lucifer didn't look at either Raul or Yama and instead look to his sister, hiding his shame.

Raina smiled happily seeing her big brothers and went and gave them a big hug. It might be the first time she has seen them, however she could feel her heart and soul screaming that the were her siblings, her family. This was something she didn't feel from her G.o.dfather, even though he loves her.

They hugged her back, even Yama happily hugs his sister. It seems even the King of Death could not withstand his sister charisma.

Raina and them talk for a couple of minutes, before asking for the reason for their visit. Learning her father was the reason, she froze and ask again making sure she didn't mishear. She gained the same answer.

As she was about to keep asking more, Raul stop her and ask for them to leave, pointing at Yama and Lucifer as he spoke, " This place is not a good location for a talk. Lucifer is a Fallen Angel and Yama, even though I don't know what he is, they are not feeling good in a place full of divine energy. "

Yama and Lucifer didn't say anything as their bodies was literally smoking. Although they were not injured or harmed by the divine energy, it made their skin crawl with distaste.

Raina nodded, almost forgetting that her family was not all the same. She sent a message to her G.o.dfather and then teleported with her siblings to the Golden Nation.

*

The skies above the Divine Continent was clear and bright. The rays of an invisible sun shone down on the land, making the many beings on the land more active.

(AN: I forgot to say this, I might have in the first couple of chapters, I can't remember. Anyway, Earth is the only world with an actual sun and moon. The other world might have light but no sun. So just keep that in mind.)

Four individuals could be seen walking across the land land admiring the power and majesty of the continent. Raul as the Emperor of the Earth could feel an intense amount of Divine Authority inside the land that constantly protects and reinforce it. To him it made sense since this was a place DemiG.o.ds would arrive before challenging the Divine Mountain. All these DemiG.o.ds were nukes in their own right, each of them able to destroy ma.s.sive amounts of land with a wave of their hands, so having an indestructible landma.s.s was a must.

Raina was astonished at everything she saw as everything was a novelty to her. This was the first time she had ever seen the world her father rule and just from seeing the rules and strength of this world made her realize this place was truly a place were G.o.ds should reside. She even thought of sending Yahweh here, at least he could act like a G.o.d all he wants and leave her alone.

Yama was calm and silent as this was not new to him. True he has never been to this world before but with his minions reporting back to him, it was like he was here before. Because of his minions, he also knew this world had the Three Supremes and Five National G.o.ds. All of them equal to a True World G.o.d!! All of them guard and protect the citizens of the Divine Continent, and also pressure the newly ascended DemiG.o.ds who chose the live on the Divine Continent instead of the Golden Continent, the realm of the G.o.ds.

Lucifer frowned as he felt his divine authority acting up which means there were people who had pride hidden in their hearts. As he senses it through his divine authority, Lucifer look shocked as even the smallest child had an intense amount of pride inside of them. The pride inside the adult was like bonfires, extremely clear in a dark place. As he tried to control their pride, he couldn't, it was like a rule was covering them up and hindering his abilities.

Raina looks to her brothers as they rapidly move towards the Divine Mountain, leaving after shadows in their wake. On their journey, she noticed they didn't see any beast, only giant trees; which had powerful defensive abilities, however to them, it made no difference, if they wanted to destroy them, they had no choice but to be destroyed. The reason for the lack of beasts might only be because no one had ascended for many years so the Divine Continent had been in a state of rest, waiting to awaken. She did notice around the sole city on the continent, Holy City, the area was barren, which means Holy City was cut off from the sea of giant trees.

Raina shook her head and came back to reality, and ask her brothers a question that has been on her mind, "Do any of you know the reason behind this meeting? I'm really curious about it."

Lucifer answered, "I don't know, however Yama should; he's the smartest one here after all." He didn't feel ashamed admitting this fact. If anyone had an idea of what was going Yama would be the key to that question.

Of course, Yama had some ideas of what was going on, however, he would never admit it. So he answered in his hoa.r.s.e voice, " I don't know the reason for this meeting, I just know it's been important to our father for him to call us here."

Raul agree with Yama, "True, father loves his world and had not given us entry until today, so the matter must be a big one." Even he was confused as to the reason of this meeting. His father has cut his world off from the rest of the World Tree, but all of a sudden after ten thousand years, he allows them in? It really seems odd no matter how one looks at it.

As they spoke, they reach the base of the Divine Mountain which was in the center of a vast lake, which they would later learn was called the Divine Lake. The water of this lake was crystal clear that one could see the bottom of and very heavy. Even without touching the water, just by looking at it, one could see even a strong gust of wind, couldn't cause a ripple on its surface.

Yama looks at the water deeply, before saying, "This lake is full of positive energy. I'm afraid that just a sip of this water was equal to a high-grade potion; it seems our father is very extravagant to allow this to be on the Divine Continent." Yama was somewhat surprised this time as he has never known this place existed. In fact, he couldn't approach the Divine Mountain with his minions, as they would be killed by the Divine Warriors. Only divine beings could approach it and survive.

The other nodded as they too had noticed it. If a demonic or evil being fall into it, even a true G.o.d would not survive. The lakes water was too pure.

They soon ascended the Divine Mountain and easily pa.s.s it, as the mountain only test to see if they have any divinity, which they all had. Reaching the end of the Divine Mountain, they step on the stairs leading to the sky and arrive at their destination, the Golden Continent.

(THE END OF THE FLASHBACK)
