The Goddess of Fire and Earth were stripped of their divinity. Despite their divinities being stripped their souls is still that of a God, unless Avel possesses sothing that could kill a God, he wouldn't be able to take the lives of Adara and Ertha. To prevent others from knowing his other plans Avel had imprisoned the two in so underground dungeon.
After throwing the two goddesses to the dungeon, Avel went out to look for Mayim, the God of Water. Coming over to the water palace under the sea, Avel was welcod by the scene of quiet underwater scenery. The figures of playful water base races like sirens and rmaids were not found. There aren't even any soldiers protecting the palace. No servants nor even a slight sound except of the waves flowing.
Avel narrows his eyes and imdiately feels that sothing is wrong. As Avel spread his aura around the palace, he noticed that not even one living being can be found inside the castle. It was completely empty like it had been abandoned for a long ti.
He hurriedly felt for Mayim's presence and found his aura coming from a familiar area above the Water palace. He left the water palace and followed the trail only to co to his own island. Avel saw Mayin playing with water while singing, sitting at the edge of his island where they usually spend ti together.
The Wind God is playful and no one knows whether he is serious or not at so things. He would give away whatever others wanted but never leave sothing for himself. He treats the other gods like friends but in reality, he never really cares for them.
Only Mayim knows Avel's true face. It might be accidental but Mayim ca to learn Avel's real personality when he bumps into him throwing tantrums in this place where they usually t. Avel is egocentric and only believes in things for himself.
The captivating and bewitching voice of the Sea God echoes within the land. Even Avel was left dazed hearing such a llow yet full of yearning and pure emotion kind of song. He waited for a while until Mayim finished singing.
But when Mayim saw Avel approaching the song abruptly stopped. He looks at Avel startled at first before giving him an everlasting smile.
Mayim says, "You're finally here. After taking Adara and Ertha's Divinity, it should be my turn. There is no need to bring to the ruins. I will give it to you voluntarily. Co over, Avel."
"You know about my plans, Mayim?" asked Avel to the gorgeous man in front of him as he walked forwards towards the God of Water.
Reaching his destination he sat beside Mayim and looked at him. But unlike when eting Adara and Ertha, the God of Wind didn't even wear a single expression on his face, much less a smile. This is Avel's true face. An expressionless yet proud man.
Mayim chuckles, "I know. Didn't I help you let the Sovereigns see Lord Night using my Water Mirror? I left it in the temple intentionally the last ti we were summoned. I've also chosen not to help Adara and Ertha and now I will be giving you my divinity so you would be able to possess enough divine energy to open up the Divine Temple and destroy the boundary with it."
Avel wore a confused expression on his face while looking at Mayim. Only this person's actions cannot be understood by him. He couldn't understand why Mayim is willing to help him like this.
"Mayim, why are you helping ?" asked Avel seriously as he exchanged gaze with those aquamarine irises which were clear and beautiful.
Mayim also didn't answer right away and stared at him as well. When the Azure and Erald orbs clash, the two could only try seeing what the other is feeling through each other's eyes. In the end, it was Avel who averted his gaze first.
Chuckles~, "Nothing much. I'm just giving you what you want. Moreover, I'm... a bit tired of waiting for him to notice ."
The last sentence was whispered so quietly that Avel thought he was hearing the wrong thing.
"Waiting? Who are you wait---."
Mayim cut him off and grabbed his hands. Avel slightly stiffened when he felt soone bump on his forehead only to see Mayim's face an inch away from his. He was startled for a mont that his heart started beating fast.
"Don't struggle. I'm now passing you my divinity. Avie, Please close your eyes." whispered Mayim.
Avel's thoughts, 'The shade of both the morning sky and later sunset."
The unique color of the sea was the last thing Avel could rember as he closed his eyes. Never would he have expected that this was the last ti he would be seeing those eyes which change shades of blue according to Mayim's emotions.
Mayim's eye color turns light blue when he's happy, turns indigo when he's sad or depressed, turns dark blue when he's angry and turns blue-green when he's flustered.
At this mont Mayim's eyes were indigo gradient with light blue. It was a mixed feeling of both happiness and sadness. These are the colors Avel saw before he closed his eyes.
As Mayim passes all his divinity including his own soul to Avel, his figure slowly fades. Avel didn't know anything about this, the only thing he knew is that overwhelming divine energy is being passed over to him. He falls into a state of ditation as he tries to take control of the energy being passed to him.
What he didn't know is that at this mont Mayim's figure had already turned transparent, even the divinity of his soul was given to him. At the last mont, Mayim held his face and gave him a kiss on his forehead, tears were falling on his eyes but those tears turned to diamond pearls as they fell on Avel. A sad smile lingers at the corner of Mayim's lip.
With his last source of strength, Mayim gave Avel a fleeting kiss.
"I hope you beco happy in the end. Goodbye, Avie~"
These were Mayim's last words before he turns into bubbles and disappears into the world and allows his soul to enter reincarnation. Now the God of Water is no more.
It took half a day before Avel opened his eyes. Seeing the empty seashore in front of him with no figures of Mayim, Avel thought that the latter had taken the opportunity to escape the whole ti he was ditating. But at this mont his current strength could closely match the strength of the twin gods he could rember.
He tried spreading his divinity in the whole plane looking for Mayim's traces but except for his body, there is no other source of Mayim's Divinity which confuses him.
Avel murmured, "In the end, you've also left , Mayim. Heh~ after all in this world only Neige really cares for ."
With a cold expression on his face, Avel leaves his island and heads to the Divine Temple. What he didn't know is that a voice was left in the land answering to his words.
'No. I will always be with you.'
This ti the pressure of World Energy no longer blocked him and he was able to enter the temple without obstruction. He saw the two thrones at the center and demolished them with a wave of his hand. With another wave, a single throne appeared at the center.
Avel took a seat at the throne without emotions on his face when he heard the voice of that man who had influenced him to do this. The owner of this voice is the sa as the one who controlled Bela Laurel in the mortal realm.
'Now that you are the Sovereign, how do you feel?' The voice asked.
Avel replies, "Not bad. But I need to clean up things here first before getting involved in the things below."
Spreading his divinity in the whole realm for the second ti, Avel took his ti rging the whole fragnted lands in the Divine plane. The Land of Lava is owned by Adara. The rainforest Ertha used to possess. The underwater palace Mayim created had floated on the top of the sea. Even his own desolated wind island had moved to rge into the land at the center where the divine temple is.

anwhile at the Mortal Plane.
Lucien, Adrienne, Eirwen, Neige, and Araysh were eating dinner when they felt the tremors coming from the divine realm. It causes huge earthquakes in the lands of the Human world and every kingdom, empire, and country is suffering from it.
At the private island owned by the twins and Eirwen, the shaking of their land was imdiately stopped by Adrienne who spreads his mana to protect their house.
Araysh looked at his lord and said, "Milords, this is!"
"It's coming from the Divine Plane itself," murmured Neige.
Lucien looked at his elder brother as he felt that his connection to the Divine Temple had been cut off. He wanted to ask him what's wrong only to see him still feeding Eirwen to eat lobsters.
"Be careful, it's a bit hot. Use your fork to eat it, wife," says Adrienne.
Lucien who also finished peeling the shrimps had passed the plates in front of Eirwen.
"Eat so shrimp too, honey~," Lucien says.
Eirwen never loses his focus on his food unless he finishes eating. He only nodded his head to his lovers who were serving him plates of seafood.
Lucien spoke, "Addie my connection to our temple had disappeared. Is yours the sa as well?"
"Un. Our throne was stolen. It was Avel." answered Adrienne nonchalantly as if he wasn't involved with all these things.
"Ah~ that brat. I've always known that he wanted the seat of Sovereignty. I was planning on giving it to him anyway when we retired. In the end, he couldn't wait ha!" says Lucien.
Adrienne spoke, "The Goddess of Fire and Earth were stripped of their divinity. Only the God of Water had completely disappeared."
"God of water? Is this Mayim we are talking about?" asked Araysh politely.
Neige says, "Isn't it well-known that Mayim likes Avel? Did he give up everything for the Wind God to steal the throne?"
Lucien says, "Except for the person himself, everyone knows that the Water God is in love with the Wind God and he had always thought the Neige was the one who had saved his life all this ti. Moreover, the Wind God is in love with the original you." as he suddenly pointed at Neige startling Araysh and Neige.
Then he pointed at Araysh and said, "I guess this one isn't the original Araysh as well," says Lucien.
Neige and Araysh instinctively move their eyes towards Eirwen who is busy eating his dinner with relish. They were being ignored as usual. The first one to react is unexpectedly Neige.
"Lord Hei told you Milords about us?" asked Neige.
Adrienne, "Un... Don't worry. We don't care." he responded. "Yue, what is the ongoing percentage damage of the mortal realm?"
[Answering to Lord God Adrienne's question, the current total damage in the mortal realm is at 13% still increasing. The Cloud Empire could still hold on for 2 hours but... the Kingdom of Hart would suffer unimaginable damage within 30 minutes.]
At this point, Eirwen, who was eating, paused montarily and glanced at Neige, "Neige to the Kingdom Hart. Araysh to the Empire. Create a formation barrier."
Neige and Araysh responded, "As you wish, Lord Hei." then they disappeared in thin air.
Eirwen spoke, "I want butter grilled scallops and cheese grilled salmon."
"Eat slowly honey~ there are still more~," says Lucien.
Adrienne who was pouring a glass of juice for Eirwen, "Here. Have a drink first," he said.
As soon as they heard Lucien and Adrienne smile, they reached out for the dishes their beloved had ntioned and helped him with them. The three continued eating their dinner without a care for whether the world outside their house would be destroyed or not.
