Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



The Gods exchanged glances, realizing that this tale might have a deeper meaning than they first thought. Perhaps, in their own way, they were unknowingly fulfilling this ancient prophecy.

They did wonder who that God was, who arrived here a long time ago. It definitely wasn't one of them. 

Even though most of the Gods stayed away from mingling with the weak humans, there was another group which was more than happy to, since they didn't find humans pathetic. 

As the days went by, those Gods formed strong bonds with the villagers. They laughed together, shared stories, and even danced during festive gatherings. The once desolate village had transformed into a vibrant community, all thanks to the unity of both humans and Gods working together.

On the other hand, the Gods who stayed away from mingling with the Gods, spent most of their times in desolation, simply waiting and trying to think of ways to find Caen. 

The Gods in the village were divided in two groups. One group that mingled with the humans wanted to wait here for Janus, knowing that everything was going to be fine by then. 

Moreover, they didn't find it hard to stay in the village and wait. It was better than risking their lives with Ezekiel. Most of the Gods in this group were the Gods who had either stayed neutral in the realm of Gods, or who sided with Janus and Caen's mother. 

The other group wanted everyone to spread out, and search the other worlds to find Caen. Every moment that they spent here was irritating for them, especially watching the sight of Divine Humans mingling with a species they considered insects. 

They felt as if it was just bringing down their dignity. 

There was occasional division and arguments between the two camps, but fortunately, there were no fights where anyone used their powers. 

However, as days passed, it was clear that both groups had different desires and it was difficult for them to work together. They didn't even have a leader at the moment who they could all follow. 

Even though both groups had different thoughts, their end goal was still the same. It was to return to the realm of Gods. Both groups had different thoughts, but at the end, they were all on the same side. 

It was eventually decided that arguing was useless, since there was no side that every single god was going to be convinced of a decision. That's why the Gods decided to use a different method. 

The first plan of action was to select a new leader of the group, at least temporarily. No matter what, his instructions were to be followed. They were now using the same system of election that they had heard about from these humans.

At the end of the day, it was decided that four people were going to stand for the position of the leader, two being from each group. 

From the group siding with Caen, the first person who came forward was a member of the High Council, who was extremely close to Caen. And the other person was the father of Caen's friend. 

From the neutral group, the first person who came out was the person who had fought Ezekiel, and even managed to hold him back for a short time. He was the one who used the Laws of Time, and the person who was more close to Janus, the Guardian of the Realm of Gods. 

The second person representing the neutral group was another Neutral God from the group, who had stayed in the Realm of Gods and was responsible for evacuation when everyone went to fight. He was responsible for the evacuation. 

At the end, the four came forward for the leader position. Moreover, all four of them had something they stood for. They all expressed their efforts and desires, on what they thought was the best approach for the group as a whole. 

As the four candidates spoke passionately about their visions for the group, the atmosphere in the house remained grim, filled with tension and seriousness. 

The Gods, who had once ruled over realms and shaped the very fabric of existence, were now part of this small, remote village, using the methods of mere mortals. However, they all believed that it was only a matter of time before they went back to their old glory.

The candidate from the High Council, an experienced God, emphasized the importance of unity and staying true to Caen's cause, who was the future King of the Realm of Gods. 

He also told everyone that Caen had inherited the control of Abyssal Beings from his father. He was the perfect person to stop Ezekiel. 

"Last time, Lord Chaos stopped Ezekiel! This time, we should trust his son to do the same! Instead of waiting and being scared about getting found, we should be more active and search for him!"

On the other hand, the Lord of Time from the Neutral group stated that he believed that they should wait patiently, for Caen and Janus were bound to return and lead them to victory against Ezekiel. Instead of risking everyone's lives, that Caen's mother worked so hard to protect, they should wait. 

"As Gods we are immortal. Time for us is insignificant, so why be in such a hurry to the point of risking everyone's life?" he asked. "It's not as if Lord Janus and the Young Lord won't be able to find us if they were to return!"

The father of Caen's friend spoke eloquently about the value of exploring new worlds to find Caen. He believed that their best chance of locating Caen lay beyond the Upper Realm, where they could seek allies and gather strength to challenge Ezekiel head-on.

And lastly, the fourth candidate echoed Lord of Time's thoughts. He stressed the need for caution and secrecy. He believed that Ezekiel might still have spies, and that a coordinated, stealthy approach was the safest way to operate. 

He advocated for keeping a low profile and avoiding drawing unwanted attention to their group.
