Ancient God in the Modern World

Chapter 178 - C178 Hestia

"Good day, Gods and Goddesses, the God of Life and Death is grateful for your presence here."

Orginech said as the Divine conference started. It was held at Base 501.

However, the mood is not good. The other Gods were rather disappointed with the God of Life and Death. But since Allen is the most powerful, they dare not retort him.

"God of War and Glory, how much Divine energy should we contribute to support the Sun-Moon Platform?"

One of the Greek Gods asked. Well, almost all the Gods and Goddesses in the Divine Conference are the Greek Gods and there are only a few Gods from the Egyptian pantheon.

"Don't worry much about that. The God of Life and Death will not demand more than the amount of energy you need to sustain yourself. At most, you need to give a Divine crystal a year."

Orginech took out a Divine crystal as he said that.

Meanwhile, as the Gods and Goddesses heard it, they murmured among themselves.

"God of War and Glory, we are barely sustaining ourselves, how can we give that much?"

"God of War, I don't think that is not much of a problem. Is your brain now rusty? Spread your faith!"

The God of War went silent for a while. That is indeed the best way to gain Divine energy. However, that is better said than to be done. Besides, all of the Gods and Goddesses here are rather hesitant to do so in fear that they might go against the God of Life and Death.

After all, it is not a secret for them that he has full authority over the planet earth.

"That is indeed the best way. However, please be reminded that we are newly awakened deities."

A Goddess said.

There were at least about fifteen Gods and Goddesses here. Most of them just woke up from their Divine slumber.

"His eminence, the God of Life and Death, used plenty of Divine energies just to create the Sun-Moon Platform without second thoughts."

Meanwhile, Orginech's expression turned sour as he heard them.

"However, with only one Divine crystal you are still hesitant? Besides, now that his eminence told you this, he will surely turn a blind eye if you spread your faith as long as you do not cross the invisible line," he continued.

At this moment, the Gods are silent. What Orginech said is correct. At the same time, they also knew that they do not have the right to complain. Their lives are at the hands of the God of Life and Death.

"What if we are unable to spread out faith?" an Egyptian God Amun asked the question that all the other Gods and Goddesses have in mind.

He is one of the few that managed to survive when Apophis devoured Egypt back when his strength is still supreme.

"I am not sure how will his eminence act; however, the best resolution for that is to side with him."

"What do you mean? Become a slave?

Their tone is very unpleasant at Orginech's ear.

"Slaves? It is better to be a slave of his eminence than to be a dying God like you."

It's not that Orginech did not like to be insulted as a slave, rather, he did not like their tone. It was as if they are looking down at being the slave of the God of Life and Death is the lowest position in all the world.

Meanwhile, there is an awkward silence. Fortunately, one of the peace-loving Greek Goddesses spoke and broke the silence.

"What is the requirement to serve his eminence?"

Hearing her, Orginech and most of the Gods and Goddesses are stunned.

Meanwhile, Hera and Zeus along with the other Greek Gods are extremely familiar with this Goddess.

She was once a Goddess that has a seat among the twelve thrones at mount Olympus back at the time. However, for some reason, she stepped down not to cause a quarrel among the Greek's big twelve.

This Goddess is none other than Hestia the Goddess of the Hearth.

She is the Goddess of compassion. She did not need followers to survive. However, she has to live as a mortal with a rather infinite life span. However, that is rather tiring. Hence, she slept and had just woken up.

"We'll talk about it after the conference. In the meantime, three months from now, every one of you needs to send at least two of their followers to combat the Demons in the Sun-Moon Platform."

After all of that, the conference is done.

In conclusion, the conference is more of dissemination of the decision of the God of Life and Death.



"Follow me."

After the conference, Orginech brought Hestia to Base 503 through the Teleportation Platform which astounded the latter. However, she did not ask anything because she is not in the position to do so.

"Welcome to the grandest temple of our Lord."

Orginech said proudly as they enter the Temple of Life.

Indeed, aside from being an organization of Allen's followers, his grandest temple is also named as such.

"Orginech, how's everything?" Plague asked as he saw them enter. He did so while scrutinizing Hestia which made the latter rather uncomfortable.

"I've already informed the other Gods."

"Did they not complain?"

Plague was rather sure that the Gods will complain about it.

"They did. However, they dare not be forceful. They knew of our Lord's greatness," Orginech replied before introducing Hestia.

"By the way, this is Hestia. She had decided to side with our Lord."

"Wonderful, you will surely not regret your decision. I am Plague an angel…"

In the next second, they told her that the slave mark from the God of Life and Death is necessary. However, to their surprise, she readily accepted it.

When they asked why, she answered, "I am the Goddess of the Hearth. The hearth could be said to be the source of life. I think if I serve the God of Life and Death, I will be a better deity."

That is her reasoning why she readily accepted it.

Even in the past, she had been like this. She gave up her throne for the God of Wine to avoid a quarrel among the Olympians.

She had always desired something good and hates destruction and such.
