Priscilla sat within the church at Ashtanu, meditating in her old room. As she had been traveling until the recent crisis, she has not been in the church itself for some time. However, given what was happening, she wanted to be somewhere that would allow her to respond more rapidly if she was called upon. In the week and a half since the first battle, she had been dispatched to three additional planets, fighting back against more and more enemies each time. She could feel the growth of the swarms, and…-

On the third day of the invasion, Pierce left Olympus. Although it had been incredibly helpful to utilize his gifts in order to obtain information ahead of time, there were clear limits. The amount of divinity he needed to constantly peer through the lines of fate as he had been doing was too much, and we had begun to compensate him with divine coins from Olympus’s vault. Additionally, the amount of information that he had been able to provide was showing a stark decline after the first day. The fact…

Lena narrowed her eyes as she stared at the world barrier in front of her. The Keeper had tasked her with finding a monster so massive that its every movement would cause disruptions in space. However, when solar systems appeared smaller than a grain of sand, it was still difficult to find even something so large. She had, at the very least, narrowed it down to a single galaxy, focusing her attention only on that, but it was still a lot for her to observe at once. Her eyes focused, sweeping over the…

The mammalian swarm flew through the empty space, breaking into the solar system and rushing towards Priscilla. With her eyes closed, she began to activate the divine abilities that she had received from the Keeper. With the powers activated, the world seemed to slow down around Priscilla. Her eyes remained closed, but she could observe everything happening in real time. The swarm was still moving quickly, but no longer too quickly for her to counter. In that brief moment, Priscilla realized that the…

With the Origin of Fate unable to directly deal with the ‘King’ monster, I had to come up with another way to do it. “Although you can’t directly consume its fate, can you alter its fate to lead it to certain doom?” I asked the twins, who looked at each other. “I mean, we can try? It might use up a lot of our energy, though. Is that alright?” The divine sister asked, to which I nodded my head. Getting rid of this ‘King’ would be the biggest challenge of the entire invasion, especially if…

Thankfully, it seemed that finding Pierce wasn’t an incredibly difficult challenge. Especially not once, a few hours after making the decision to find him, I received a report that there was an unexpected guest standing outside of Olympus. Yeah… he came to us. That The door opened, and a brunette lycan walked into the room, adjusting his glasses. “It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir Keeper.” The man said with a polite nod, which I returned. “I’ve been told that you have a set of…

Hearing the report from James and Chelsea, I naturally did as they had suggested, mirroring Ryone’s powers in order to determine if there was someone with the same levels of divine power as a member of the Greater Pantheon. Surely, such individuals would be few and far between. However, after a few moments, I shook my head. There did not appear to be anyone that matched such a description, at least not that I was able to detect. According to Chelsea’s notes, that meant that they were more likely to be…

The rest of the meeting passed without much fanfare, having managed to secure at least the add-on that we wanted to get, even though we wouldn’t get any royalties from the main system. It’d be nice if we did, given that it was technically Lifre’s creation, but another Keeper had beaten us to the punch. By the end of the meeting, I was able to get a look at the points that everyone had accrued through their various activities. For the most part, there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. James and…

When Chelsea caught up to us, and told us about the new systems that had been created in response to Lifre’s live stream, I was dumbfounded. First of all, I didn’t think that it was possible to create systems while you were still in the meeting space. I had always assumed that there would just be a mad dash to create the system as soon as the meeting ended. For that reason, I was prepared to spend the last one or two days of the meeting simply detailing the system, planning to submit it as soon as we…

Chelsea let out a long sigh after completing the game, glad to see that her strategies had been enough. She was still not confident as to whether or not she had planned well enough to defeat an Origin, but looking back… the game was never going to throw one at her to begin with. Although this meant that she had more leeway than she had expected, she wasn’t entirely satisfied with that. After all, it meant that her planning was good enough ‘for now’, but she still lacked a frame of reference for…
