Yes, master Thea replied calmly, the voice in his head now a reflection of his own ruthless efficiency.
Immediately all these Gods recieved a message from Thea about the calamity that was about to befall them.
-Three hours left until my cooldown is over. What type of talent should I pick this time?- Sunny pondered.
He wanted this talent to be helpful in his current predicament. -Gods are going to join me? So I need a talent for leadership?-
He quickly shook his head. He could easily learn such common talents through his Divine Growth talent.
-Should I create a new demigod?- After thinking for a few minutes and finding no solution, Sunny���s mind finally settled on this approach. -If I don���t have something, I can just create it.-
Sunny manifested a divine embryo and began shaping it. The embryo twisted and contorted, slowly forming into a human figure with a bald head and hands clasped together, in the form of a monk from Sunny���s home planet.
This demigod looked like a being of peace and tranquility.
As for talents, the first talent was something that could help Sunny in his current predicament.
The first talent was Contract (SS-Grade), this talent forms a contract with two parties.
Both parties can choose the terms and conditions by themselves and find a middle ground where they both agree.
And in the end, when both parties sign the contract, it will start taking effect.
This talent was not affected by the grade or power of a person; if you signed the contract in your right mind, then you need to follow the terms; otherwise, the one who breaks the contract will face a backlash.
Sunny liked this talent that he created, as it was not creating a master-slave contract, because both parties should agree wholeheartedly.
Though there was a possibility of creating such a slave contract, Sunny decided not to do so.
The second talent Sunny thought of was the prime reason he created this demigod as a monk.
Virtues Body (SS-Grade) this talent allows this demigod to have an enhanced luck or fortune and presence that can affect the life forms near it, change their minds, and let their beastly and devious nature vanish.
This talent was helpful to decrease the number of souls present in hell, as this demigod can make them let go of their evil nature and turn over a new leaf.
And if they are not evil anymore, then there is no point in keeping them in hell.
The third talent that Sunny chose for this demigod was the talent of Loyal Beads, which allows this demigod to turn anyone he kills into a bead.
These beads were not a normal bead; they can be converted back to their original bodies as per the orders from their master and do many tasks.
With these three talents, Sunny began to think of a name for this demigod.
And after a few seconds, he decided to go with the name ���Sugata���, a name that means ���The Fortunate one���.
With the name and talents selected, Sunny wished for this demigod to turn alive. And immediately the body of Sugata twitched, as his lips opened before his eyes could, and he said, -Amitabha-. Finally, the glowing eyes of Sugata opened, and his gaze fell on Sunny.
-Greetings, creator,- he said, bowing his head.
Sunny told Sugata the duties he needed to do and the benefits of doing so.
Sugata was pleased by the duties that Sunny mentioned but didn���t show much emotion for the benefits and rewards.
With a single leap, he exited the God space and jumped into Veridia to perform his duties.
Master, all the Gods have agreed to be your subordinate
Sunny opened the God Chat, and it was filled with messages related to this new development. Currently, 34 Gods were in the way of this murderer, and these 34 Gods boasted about joining under the tutelage of God Cosmos.
As if it was not a shame to work under someone; instead, it was their luck and fortune to be the subordinate of God Cosmos.
The other Gods felt envious of them joining the God Cosmos and pleaded in the God Chat for God Cosmos to take them in.
Chapter 98: Ch 98 : A single Glance
Sunny had finally made his decision to become a God among Gods.
He would take in all the Gods who wished to be his subordinates, a strategic move to create a unified front against the looming demonic threat.
With the Contract talent from Sugata, he had a solution to the age-old problem of backstabbing and betrayal from the other Gods or any such entity that threatens Sunny.
The terms of their allegiance would be sealed with a contract, ensuring their loyalty.
But some of the Gods, who had been offered this place of sanctuary, started to have second thoughts.
They were reluctant to leave behind their worlds, their creations, but keeping them in the Realm of Advancement was not feasible.
Sunny, seeing their hesitation in the God Chat, simply replied with two words, -don���t worry.-
These two words, coming from God Cosmos himself, did not feel like an empty promise. They were a divine decree, an assurance to all the Gods who were having second thoughts.
Sunny was already planning for it, and his plan, in his mind, was already theoretically correct.
The first priority was to save these 34 Gods one by one.
Sunny asked Thea to manifest a portal and connect it with the God space of these Gods.
In just a few seconds, the portals were completed. Sunny placed his mask on his face, a cosmic robe covering his body, and entered the portal.
On the other end was a God who looked very fat and was still eating chips, a perfect picture of a being who had given up on his life.
Upon noticing Sunny, he lazily stood up from his manifested sofa and greeted him, -Hello, God Cosmos,- he said, slightly bowing his head.
Sunny nodded and handed this God a sheet of paper. This was a contract written by Sugata using his Contract talent.
The chubby God looked at the contract and without much thought signed it.
The terms in the contract were simple: 25% of the faith generated from your world will be taken by God Cosmos.
The chubby guy didn���t say anything else and just awaited Sunny���s next command.
Sunny also didn���t say anything and directly created a portal huge enough to swallow a whole planet.
He passed this portal through the planet of the chubby God and in just a small fraction of a millisecond there was no planet to be seen.
Then Sunny finally opened his mouth for the first time in front of the chubby God and said, -Move to the portal, I have other Gods to save too.-
Sunny chose to do it by himself rather than asking Thea to do so was because of two reasons, the first, he wanted to show his powers to the other God and second was that both parties should be present for the contract.
Both Sunny and the chubby guy moved through the portal and arrived in the God space of Sunny.
There Nova was already present, her task was to stop the time for the lifeforms and the planet, so they do not feel this anomaly.
One by one Sunny helped these Gods, by teleporting both there planet and them back to Sunny���s God space.
There Nova kept on freezing the time of every planet.
The sight of Nova sent chills down the spines of these Gods, they were stronger and could kill her easily, but it was only because of the Godhood and the divine body that they possess.
If these things were taken away from them, they wouldn���t even be able to see how Nova killed them.
As Sunny was helping these Gods, in the previous location of the chubby God���s planet, two beings filled with a bottomless malevolent aura arrived.
These were the demon lords of Curses and Corrosion, Maledictus and Ichor.
Ichor smelled the empty space and said, -No doubt about it, I smell two Gods and a few hundred thousand lifeforms.-
-How can these Gods communicate so fast? Do they have uncovered the universal wormhole?- Maledictus said, her thoughts coming from her billions of years of living.
