“Where in this world can we hold hands without any sadness? Where endings don’t exist in this world of madness?”
-DistantEden by S. Harper

On the land of the gods in the Immortal Realm, people with aura screaming of dominance and authority were gathered on a round table made of gold.

“It’s good to see you again, Supreme God.” Said the god of Earth, Terran

Arius remained silent.

“Where have you been?” asked Lark, the god of ice.

“That’s not important right now. I was only away for fifteen years or so, why is our side losing?” Arius asked, his voice as cold as ice.

Seeing how dissatisfied the Supreme God is, all the other gods remained silent.

They want to complained that it was because of his absence. But that would make them seem useless and incompetent.

“Are you all just going to act dumb?” asked Arius coldly

No one responded, afraid to give him an answer that may not satisfy him.

Arius who is obviously annoyed, stood up, “Fine, continue to act dumb. I will just go beat up the Demon Lord, this meeting is adjourned.”

Everyone were dismissed just like that.

They watched his receding figure.

Every gods were aware that Arius is a war freak.

He dedicates his life to the battlefield.

That’s the reason why everyone is curious what caught his attention in the Mortal Realm.

What made him stay there?

When he was gone, they joked that he’s probably playing in the mortal realm, indulging in worldly matters.

But now that he’s back, the light atmosphere in the round table is once again suffocating and heavy.

“Something feels off about him.” Solstice commented when Arius is completely gone from their sight.

“Off? What made you say that?” Asked Dusk, the god of Metal.

‘He didn’t mention anything about my successor.’ Is what Solstice wanted to say but held back.

No matter how strong he is, he can’t carelessly comment about Arius’ personal life.

He can joke with Arius when it’s just the two of them, but it’s different when they’re in the presence of everyone.

Arius is the strongest god.

No one admits it, but they are all wary of him.

Throughout history, the Supreme God is always the God of Light.

Arius is the first God of Darkness to ever become the Supreme God.

Some of them fear him.

Most look up to him.

He is the Supreme God respected by everyone in the Immortal Realm.

All the Great Gods follows his orders without questions.

Even Aster and Ainsley who didn’t want to attend this meeting can be seen sitting silently on their assigned seats.

If Solstice is respected as the previous Supreme God. And everyone listens to Ainsley’s opinion because he was the son of the strongest god and goddess. Then Arius is respected because of his strength.
