Chapter 302
"I already have an idea for the rune seal," Crepuscular continued. "Something like a tower, and we’ll need a skilled craftsman. Ikenga’s grandson, Ember, is more than capable of handling it."
Jaws nodded. "The sea is rich with minerals. Tide will be more than happy to provide those. As for the Harpies, their achievements in their power system show their talent in rune crafting. We can leave that part to them, and they can collaborate with other experts to complete the task."
Mahu nodded. "In the meantime, we’ll focus all our power on keeping the breach under control and buying our children more time to finish their work."
Once the gods reached an agreement, they began to move quickly, informing their children of the situation. The demigods, who had been hesitant about their ascension, began to take the matter more seriously.
They understood how powerful their parents were, and the fact that the gods were acting this way—and even seeking their help—made them realize the severity of the situation.
Ikem immediately had Zephyr inform Ember of the new mission, and he also sent messages to the scholars in the shrine. Those who had studied runes would be leaving their continent and heading to the western continent, where they would meet the Harpies to work together.
While Ikem was busy handling this, Zephyr brought him more news from Osita. For some reason, Ikem didn’t react heavily to the bad news.
He had begun to see the allure of ascension. Even though things seemed chaotic above the stars where the gods resided, he believed it would be better than dealing with all the human mess and demons.
It might also have been due to how the apelings had handled recent issues that he didn’t feel the need to react much. Instead, he left the news to Zephyr for him to handle.
