Chapter 164
After saying that, Ikenga opened up a portal and went through it, with the other gods following behind. Soon, they entered Ikenga’s realm, appearing in front of two colossal beings that currently dwarfed them in height.
Crepuscular was taken aback by the scene as he flew closer to get a better look at the sleeping Osisi and Boros. Even Keles and Jaws flew closer to inspect. "Why do you show us this, brother?" Crepuscular asked as he flew back to Ikenga.
"You wanted to know what was happening, and these two were a part of it," Ikenga replied, sitting cross-legged mid-air.
"I believe Mother is also listening now, so you all can go and confirm my words with her later," Ikenga added thoughtfully.
"To understand what happened, it is important to remember the divinity I was bestowed upon birth. Because of the nature of my second divinity, only one was very prevalent, which is my nature divinity," Ikenga explained.
"This divinity, like your own other divinities, pertains to the natural rule and way of our world. But my second divinity doesn’t, as it is still something abstract, not fully comprehended and not yet fully recognized by anyone. I believe when I introduced curses into the world, I mentioned something about how mortals have something called blessings, which is when they wish each other well."
"And the opposite wish is when they wish each other bad. Both are still something abstract and yet have no meaning or effect on reality itself. That, I believe, is something that changed with my birth and being granted the divinity of curses. My divinity of curses made bad wishes now something that can have an effect on reality itself," Ikenga explained, pointing at his tattoo.
Jaws was the first to speak up. "So in your words, brother, if one of us has been born with the divinity of blessing, which is a good wish, then when something good is wished upon people, it will have an effect because of the divinity existing?"
Ikenga nodded. "But I believe there is a need for a way in which these good wishes have to be delivered to the person. In my case, I use cursed souls," Ikenga said as he grabbed at the void, catching hold of a cursed spirit which he showed to the gods.
