"The Divine Academy is under attack," A solemn voice resounded through a massive volcano.

"I know. I've heard about it. I also know a Demi-God, a Curse User, did it. He used his God Curses' Divinity and killed hundreds of Divine Lifeforms up until this point. What have you guys been doing?" A second voice, annoyed and unwilling to continue talking, rang out from the center of the volcano.

"We cannot remove our Demi-Gods and 8th Tier Divinees from the front lines to deal with this Demi-God. He has a powerful spatial Soultrait that seems to pass through intergalactic spatial distortion devices. We do not know how he did it, but we think it is related to his Divinities. He has multiple God Curses and can channel their Divinities through his body. We—...:" The first voice coming from an elderly man at the edge of the volcano pleaded.

However, before he could finish his request, a young man emerged from the magma pool at the bottom of the active volcano. He levitated and ascended slowly until he reached the old man.

"I am about to consolidate my Divinity, and you, or the higher-ups of the SHA, want me to leave at this moment and risk damaging my Divinity to deal with a mere Demi-God. I hope you are not serious right now. Even if I don't damage my Divinity, I would risk my life by intervening in the games of the cosmic playground. Do you think I'm willing to risk an encounter with the Primal to get rid of your stupid problem?" The man asked, his ruby eyes staring deep into the soul of the old man.

"I…didn't you finish creating your Divinity. The others told me to report to you, saying the God Curses of the Curse User have something you're looking for." The recently reborn God raised an eyebrow, resulting in droplets of magma trickling down his temples. He studied the man for a moment, and his hand shot forward. His fingers coiled around the old man's forehead, who screamed in pain as the smell of burned skin and flesh filled the air.

Foreign memories flooded God's eyes and mind, informing him with every bit of intel he needed to know.

"The Curse User has a nature-attributed Divinity Fragment and control of two, probably three God Curses? You are not sure about the third, but your research shows that one of the God Curses is the Beast God Fenrir, and the other one is…Jormungandr, right?" He let go of the old man, who had to nod fervently even though he was in unbearable pain.

"And the last one is presumed to be Hel, who didn't appear directly, but the Death Authority was perceived right before the appearance of two Undead Titans. The Demis managed to kill the Titans, indicating the Death Authority wasn't strong enough to keep the Undead Titans alive… It is almost like the Death Authority was channeled through a Divine Lifeform, who cannot yet handle a full-fledged Divinity." The God with the ruby eyes murmured, the corner of his lips curling upward.

His golden hair sparked brightly and ignited. It burned fiercely but didn't burn to ashes. No, his hair would never cease to burn if he didn't want it to crumble and burn to ashes. The young man licked his lips in ecstasy, his eyes drilling into the elderly man.

"I don't need Fenrir, but are you certain about the high-quality Nature Divinity Fragment and Jormungandr?" The young man's Divinity wasn't weak but wasn't perfect either. He had known how to complete the soul forging of his Divinity for a long time, but he never finished the process. Why? Because he had been searching for the final ingredient to create a perfect Divinity. A Divinity with one, if not multiple Authorities.

"Jormungandr's Divinity has been found. We are certain it is the World Serpent. Ancient documents verified our guess a few days ago. It is also the reason I came looking for you," The elderly man said with the last bits of courage in his body, "I hope I'm not too late. We know you said not to bother you and that you would finish your Divinity at last, but we thought you might want to check out this young Demi-God. Since he has access to multiple Divinities and a Divinity Fragment, it shouldn't be a problem to attack and research him. After all, your Divinity can still be altered."

The God's Divinity was formed not too long ago and was thus volatile. That being said, he could break it open and alter it for another year or two. All it required was some preparations.

"The Primal doesn't care about something like that. If you want me to kill that Demi-God, you will have to wait for a little. I need to break open my Divinity without damaging it," The young God declared in a matter-of-fact tone, shocking the elderly man.

"Break open your Divinity? Is that really nec–..."

"I told you I need time. The reason doesn't concern you. Will the Supreme Court wait or deploy others to hunt this Curse User?" The God intervened.

"We…do not think our average Demi-God can kill this Curse User. Even stalling him endangers the Demi-Gods and may lead to many unnecessary deaths. He has too many Divinities, Soultraits, and tricks up to his sleeves." The elderly man explained hesitantly.

The young God raised an eyebrow but nodded. That made sense. Not all Demi-Gods were the same. In fact, some of the strongest Demi-Gods were strong enough to fight the weakest Gods head-on. It was no surprise that the average Divinity feared someone with multiple Divinities.

"Stall him for a year, and you won't have to see him again. The Supreme Court doesn't have to worry about his existence anymore after that. I will claim his Authorities and then rip him into shreds!"

The elderly man didn't know how to respond but nodded. He knew his life would end if he spoke up now. The young God had something up to his sleeves, and he wouldn't change his plan now that he had found a way to acquire one, maybe even multiple authorities. **

The senses of the universe stretched far and with unfathomable detail, and those attached to it could perceive everything. Every use of a high-ranked Soultrait, every application of a Mythical Artifact, and every execution of a Divinity and the aftermath of its use were reported in shocking clarity. The beings connected to the cosmos core could sense everything, including the intentions of the Gods. They perceived what was about to happen. It was almost like they could see into the future.

Somewhere in the center of the universe – in the midst of nothingness near the Beginning of All – a pair of pitch-black eyes opened for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years.

The period of the Origin Awakening inched closer.

It was only a matter of time before everything would change. Their time was coming.
