532 Side Chapter: Kaggoth Joins the God Pantheon
-----
In the Divine Realm of Agatheina, the Vampire Goddess of Blood, the progenitor of all the Vampire Race was resting over her crimson bed covered in red roses, while having her feet being massaged by her Living Deity descendants and Blood Servants.
She was also being given a pedicure and manicure, and a small blood bat was carefully moving the pages of the book she was peacefully reading. It was about sexual positions between two women.
"Oh… so that's how it is?"
Despite having a lot of experience in such adult topics, she was inexperienced in the intercourse between two women. The curiosity quickly won over herself as she brought a book from an anonymous God in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop to see for herself.
This book was written by the god itself, who seemed to be incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about such stuff… in the World of Genesis, there were many Gods, so many that some had strange divinities.
There were already some Gods with divinities such as rotten flesh, so it should not be surprising at this point that there are gods whose divinities are closely related to Love, Sex, and more.
"Well… According to what I have investigated and heard… Kireina-sama can shapeshift her body and currently have both genders! What a splendorous existence… then I shouldn't really be as worried whenever it is my turn to have children with her?" wondered Agatheina, but then she decided to keep reading the book as the writer was quite good at hooking people into it.
As Agatheina read her book and received the massages, pedicures, manicures, and other things from her loyal descendants and servants, she felt her connection with Levana ding.
"Ah… Levana is calling me?"
Levana was Agatheina's granddaughter, and due to this, she had a bloodline connection with her. Gods were capable of telepathically communicate with their descendants, those that carried their bloodline… this power also carried with her mortal descendants, but only those that held strong beliefs towards their divine progenitors
Gods such as Morpheus, whose children had mostly ignored his religion and held almost no belief in him, had a hard time communicating with his mortal children, not even the royal family could hear his words properly.
But Agatheina and Levana had met each other for years, so they held natural belief in each other naturally. Their connection was easy to create and talk with each other.
Levana called Agatheina with a concerned voice.
"Grandmother! What do I do? Two of my big sisters had come to my Divine Realm… t-to talk!" said Levana.
"To talk? What do you mean?"
"They want to… socialize and become my friends!" said Levana.
"…Levana, I think that there is nothing wrong with that… they're your sisters after all, right?" asked Agatheina with a bit of concern over her shy granddaughter… she had thought that Levana had already surpassed her social anxiety, but it seems that it came back when she had to met new people without anyone of her trusted friends to accompany her.
"Y-Yes… I know but…! C-Can you come? It feels… awkward to talk to them out of the sudden, and they're also overly friendly with me… sigh…" muttered Levana.
"No, Levana. You're already a grown-up woman, confront them with your spirit and tell them that you also want to be their friend" said Agatheina.
"…Eeeeeh?! You say is as if it were easy, grandmother!" said Levana.
"Levana, calm yourself, you're rising your tone against your grandmother…" said Agatheina.
"Ah! S-Sorry… but… Fweeh…" cried Levana.
Agatheina sighed as she waved her head.
"Aren't you with your descendants, any Living Deity Bat person there? Why don't you call them to accompany you?" asked Agatheina.
"B-Because they're just as shy!" said Levana.
Agatheina sighed once again while waving her head.
"Even her children are just as hopeless…" she said.
"H-Hopeless?! Grandmother does not be rude…! It is a serious problem!" said Levana.
"Hmm… perhaps you somehow made them inherit your social anxiety as a racial trait? That is… worrying" said Agatheina.
"Uwaah! That is not it, grandma…!" said Levana hopelessly.
"Sigh… What am I going to do with such a granddaughter… hm? Oh, it seems that a new member is joining us today!" said Agatheina, sensing the presence of a Divine Realm slowly approaching the barrier she and the other gods created around the Grand Forest.
"New member?" asked Levana.
"Ah, Levana, I'll leave you with your sisters, I have important things to attend~," said Agatheina, cutting off the telepathy connection between her and Levana.
"Wait, grandmother-"
Agatheina smiled as she glanced at her nails on her feet and hands, they were long, delicate, and crimson red, an amazing work.
She also felt as if her feet were not even tired anymore, she felt completely relaxed, got herself up, took a quick bath on Divine Spring Water, and then generated a beautiful crimson and dark dress with her divine soul.
Gods usually did not wear clothes, and what they wore to cover their bodies were generated by their own powers or divine souls, materializations of their souls made into clothes which they were comfortable with.
Her soul spread like thick crimson blood around her pale-white and flawless body, a dress was created out of this blood, alongside decorations on her dark red hair and long heels which she liked to wear so she could be taller than most of the other gods.
Generating bat wings with blood, she flew out of her palace where she gathered with the other gods that had just recently entered her Divine Realm by her permission.
"Welcome! So, where is she?" she asked.
"Whose newbie? I had no idea someone was joining us already" said Marnet.
"I think it is the goddess of the Crab Arachne in the coastal regions," said Maeralya.
"Oh! I remember that she met with one of our sisters, Seavaphe a few times, but their tribes were too far away from each other for the two to make a strong bond with each other" said Morpheus.
Seavaphe was the Beast Demigoddess of Sea Turtles, twin sister of Savaphe, the Beast Demigoddess of Land Turtles. Unlike her twin sister, Seavaphe's children, the Sea Turtle Beast-kin lived in an underwater tribe below the coastal regions, deep in the water, inside a dungeon she created.
She did not seem to have any troubles as of now and was too busy administrating the societies that her children were created to come and join the pantheon of Kireina.
"Wait… her name is Kaggoth? Isn't that a Demon Demigod?" asked Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength.
"Indeed… if you do not count me as one, it will be the first Demon God that joins our pantheon! Kireina-sama really does not discriminate against anyone" said Agatheina.
���That is right, Agatheina! Kireina-sama is a benevolent goddess!" said Bovdohr, the Demigod of Eclipses.
"I wonder how does she look? Is she really just a giant crab? Fufu" laughed Nomera, the Demigoddess of Dawns, with a bit of curiosity.
"Whatever she is, we must not be discriminatory. We are all gods of different heritages after all. It is clear as water that Kireina-sama does not care about race or species differences, and appreciates our efforts and strength equally" said Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature.
Indeed, with the addition of Kaggoth, Kireina's Pantheon will come to be the most varied diversity-wise in the entirety of the Realm of Vida. She had Wyvern Gods, who were siblings of Dragon Gods, Agatheina, the only Vampire Goddess in this realm and the progenitor of them all, Human Gods such as Bovdohr and Nomera, and various Beast Gods such as Morpheus, Marnet, Maeralya, and so on.
With Kaggoth as the first Demon Demigoddess, they would only need Titan Gods to 'have them all'.
Due to the discrimination between the many castes of gods, it was unusual for many gods of different races to join together. They would usually keep together with their own race, even if they were allies, such as the Dragon Pantheon which is an ally of the Central Continent Gods, who were all Humans, Elves, or Dwarves for the most part, with some unique cases such as Dryads…
Agatheina and the rest imagined the day when Kireina and most of her family would raise into godhood, many of them were not even humans but strange demi-human races that mostly never had raised into godhood, at least in the Realm of Vida.
They still did not know the classification that they would receive… but it would most likely be of Demon Gods with a few exceptions.
Suddenly, the gods felt the Divine Realm of Kaggoth slowly settling down in the space above the Grand Forest… annexing itself near their own Divine Realms. It was something similar to feeling someone moving with their whole house near you as your new neighbor.
Agatheina then opened a rift in the space of her Divine Realm as the shadow of their new ally appeared… it was a giant crab.
"A-Ah…! H-Hello…" said Kaggoth, she was over one hundred meters tall, bigger than Merveim and Hodhyl, the other gods were quite overwhelmed by her titanic appearance.
"Oh my… welcome, Kaggoth!" said Agatheina with a bitter smile. Kaggoth had already paid with her dungeon, divinity fragment and also had even given Kireina her claws to eat, so she was on good terms on Agatheina's book.
Kaggoth seemed fascinated by Kireina just as Agatheina, so she also saw that she was intelligent for thinking so… although she could be a new rival, she did not think that Kireina would choose Kaggoth over her. And she was also fine as long as she was the first goddess to have children with Kireina… of course, she thought that the eggs she laid using the blood of Marnet and Maeralya alongside their children was an exception and did not count.
"You're big! Can we fight?!" asked Merveim while flying around Kaggoth with his large black wings. He was a god of strength so of course, he was seeking someone that could give him a challenge.
"F-Fight? I-I am not really good at that… and my claws are gone, for now, so maybe another day? Ah, my name is Kaggoth by the way… who could you be?" asked Kaggoth.
"Ah! I am Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength, nice to meet you missy" said Merveim.
The other gods then introduced themselves to Kaggoth.
"You're a big girl, aren't you? I am Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature. It is nice to meet you. I hope that we can cooperate together in the future" said Hodhyl, glancing far above her.
"I… I am Nyzzet, the Dragon God of Thunder… err, nice to met you, Kaggoth…" said Nyzzet, seemingly terrified by Kaggoth's overwhelming presence and barely being able to muster many words… Although Nyzzet was far stronger than Kaggoth, he was a coward and bad at fighting, lacking any bravery, so he was intimidated by a Demigoddess.
"Nice to met you, lady Kaggoth. I am Morpheus, the Beast Demigod of Horses and Centaurs" said Morpheus with a gentle smile, admiring Kaggoth's giant size.
"Same! Nice to meet you, crab girl, I am Maeralya, the Beast Demigoddess of Felines and Cat Beastmen. You can call me 'Onee-sama' if you want!" said Maeralya without any hint of fear but only admiration for Kaggoth's great size.
"And I am Marnet, the Beast Demigod of Canine and Dog Beastmen… Do you have any way of decreasing your size?" asked Marnet.
"I am Bovdohr, the Demigod of Eclipses… it is good to meet someone that has recognized Kireina-sama greatness, you're welcome to our humble pantheon, Kaggoth," said Bovdohr.
"Nice to meet you, Kaggoth! I am Nomera, the Demigoddess of Dawns! I think the same as Bovdohr, someone capable of recognizing Kireina-sama greatness and splendor is deserving of being our ally" said Nomera.
"Oh, and I am Agatheina, the Vampire Goddess of Blood, the progenitor of all Vampire races. It is our pleasure to receive yet another ally that our benevolent and goodhearted master has decided to make. Kaggoth, you're already part of our family" said Agatheina with a smile, already forgetting about Kaggoth's intimidating appearance, as she was only surprised by it.
Kaggoth bubbled, seemingly flustered.
"N-Nice to meet you everyone, and thanks for the warm welcome… I am not so good at socializing… so forgive my way of t-talking… A-And I think I will decline that offer, Maeralya-sama, I think it is disrespectful to call you like that… And yes, I can decrease my size if Marnet-sama wants…" said Kaggoth as she began to slowly shrink into a size only a few meters bigger than Merveim and Hodhyl.
"This is the littlest I can become… hopefully it is enough," she said.
"It is enough…" Muttered Marnet with a bitter smile.
"(She is still too big though… What kind of god did had children with someone like her? And according to the records I found it was a mysterious Human Demigod from the central continent! It seems that she does not even have a humanoid form like some gods either…! What kind of man… was he?)" thought Marnet as cold sweat dripped from his neck, imagining a man doing love to such a giant crab was… unholy. But it seemed to work, ending in the birth of the Cancer, Crab-type Arachne with lower halves of a crab and the upper half of a human.
Agatheina clapped her hands as she invited everyone to a feast to celebrate their new member.
Meanwhile, Levana was trying to make good friends with her two big sisters…
