I DIED AND WAS REINCARNATED AS ..... A GOD?

Chapter 18: A LITTLE CONFLICT



"How far will he reach his power. will he have already forged his renown?" Commented a young woman of singular beauty. Her figure, gracefully adorned with cat ears and tail, emitted a feline air to her presence.

"Sary, please Do you really believe that? We've been gods for less than a millennium, it's practically impossible to have already obtained a 'Name' from the Sphere" the arrogant Blondie remarked again.

"But maybe-"

She didn't get to finish the sentence when she was pushed and falling to the ground because of another god who started to opine without caring if he hurt her or not.

"Who knows, Lexis. Maybe since it was the Sphere that elevated him to godhood, he must have become a favorite," commented the one who had pushed Sary with disdain. He was a stout ten foot tall demonic Treant, whose towering presence seemed to obscure the surroundings.

"Listen, Andhr, so what are we supposed to be, some kind of joke? You'd better be quiet before I reduce you to ashes!" exclaimed a fire elemental that had an almost human figure, but imbued with the fiery essence of flames, with fury. Its dimensions reached two meters and its voice resounded with a tone that burned with anger.

"I want to see you try it 'hot tadpole' "

NOW YOU'VE GOT YOUR TICKET, ASSHOLE!!!!! Pounced the fire elemental on Andhr the Treant.

"Calm down both of you or I'll throw you in the pit," said Kaltor with some annoyance towards this pair who constantly sought to harm each other.

"What do you think Yaheri? What do you think this god will be like?" Said the arrogant blonde named Lexis.

"I think we are talking about someone who potentially shy and fragile, someone who somehow, by a twist of fate or perhaps thanks to fortune, ascended to the category of a divine being. And so, with a touch of her hands, she gave life to a universe of her own" replied a young woman with a coldness that cut like the winter wind. Her features were delicate and pale, as pale as freshly fallen snow, and her hair floated like silver threads. Her beauty eclipsed even the other goddesses who were just beginning their divine journey. If it weren't for the two pairs of wings that rose on her back, impeccably white and gathered like a mystical mantle, she might well have been mistaken for an elegant model on a celestial catwalk.

[Ahem, may the writer's favoritism not be noted hehe.]

"Silence, ahem, back to the subject, it is understandable that you have doubts regarding this 'lone wolf' and if he was already named, I can assure you that he is not, just as you are not either, that's why for the moment you use your 'names' from when you were mortals, remember? And I won't lie to you , I too am curious to see what surprises he will bring us when we see him."

"Entrance to Zinclos will be accessible in 3 Estremes. It is time to prepare yourselves, as you will be conducting your own training from now on. Access to my collection of knowledge remains open, devote time to study and I ask that you do not dishonor me before the other deities."

"Understood!!!" exclaimed everyone... or well, those who were aware.

"Now go take a bath!!!! you stink to death!!!!!

"WHO DO YOU THINK IS TO BLAME IDIOT!!!" shouted all the novice gods in unison, including the previously unconscious ones.

Once the unplanned meeting was over, they were all taken back to a military camp that evoked a combination between the medieval architecture of Christian monasteries in 1370 and a state-of-the-art technological style. This created an atmosphere that fused the elegance of the ancient with the practicality of the modern.

"Sary, are you all right?" Calyps approached with some concern

"Don't worry, I can handle myself." He replied warmly, Rejecting Calyps Sary's hand, he stood in an instant with a tinge of anger.

"You damned log!!! How can you push a lady to the ground, didn't they teach you any manners when you were mortal?" Sary replied aggressively as his fur changed to a darker shade with bluish tints.

"Ohh, look, the kitty got the fierce out of him, come kitty try your best shot haha -" she didn't get to finish laughing when....

[Crackle]

Andhr's left arm, composed of bark, roots and plants, was torn apart and ripped off by a deep claw with no discernible origin.

"Isn't it true that sometimes much noise is made, but little action is taken, Andhr?" Sary told him mockingly, who had disappeared from Calyps' side and reappeared in a matter of seconds with Andhr's arm in his mouth spitting it to the side. From both Andhr's excised arm and his body gushed a golden blood-like liquid, the "blood" flowed without stopping into Andhr's wound.

"ARGHHHH ARE YOU CRAZY? " Andhr shrieked as he held his remaining arm stump trying to stop the bleeding.

"What happened Andhr, aren't you boasting about your almost impenetrable defense, where was that arrogance from a moment ago?

"Urgh, you'll see" pointing the stump towards the roots of the arm, Andhr provoked an explosion of thorns resulting in cuts to Sary, mostly superficial, and some splinters embedded in his arms that he used to cover his head.

"SARY!!! ¡¡¡¡ I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL !!!!"shouted Andhr half kneeling

"The loser will give 25% of his D.E. to the winner" proclaimed Andhr as roots sprouted from the stump, intertwining into a new arm.

"So you want a duel ehhh, fine, have it your way, 'twig', I hope you don't go back on your words. I will fight this battle, now the question, will you face me, or will you ask someone to be your champion."

"Urgh, I choose Lex-"before I finished speaking Lexis appeared with an amused smile.

"You guys still need a referee, how about me? Make this battle a massacre!!!, Anyway, I'll avoid 'mortal' injuries "she laughed a little at Andhr's astonished look.

"I think it's excellent Lexis, with you here as judge, it's unlikely that this log will do anything crazy".

"Well, who were you going to pick?" grinned Lexis.

'Damn Lexis, you knew I was going to choose you to humiliate that bitch!' thought Andhr. 'Now what do I do, I still haven't fully recovered from that sneak attack, and few would dare to face that crazy Sary..... wait... there are still some splinters stuck in her body, and the idiot hasn't noticed hahaha, that will be your undoing, you'll regret humiliating me like that!'

"but of course I'll fight the battle, since we're both 'wounded' how about resting and facing each other in 4 days time?"

"Sounds good to me, you better not run with your tail between your legs, or should I say splinter, I still don't know the physiology of a Treant."
