5th Rated God - Volume 1 Chapter 25 Tezcatlipoca's Plan Backfired

Hermes and his comrades entered a awkward silence….

The man with goat horns says while putting this hands in the air, “Guys! Guys! Really, I won’t do anything!”

“….”

“Guys….”, The man starts to regret his little joke.

“Lets…..get back to the topic.”, says the furry man with a long tail.

“Currently I have already started a bit of fuss in my realm, many yokai, monsters, and demons are joining the revolt and the yokai under milady is under my supervision while she is busy seducing Zeus. Those bald monks are starting to hunt us down like crazy, I may need more support to repel them.”

“On my end, that fat serpent will awaken. Once he is weakened by his battle with Ra, I should be able to take his authority and merge it with mine. I also gathered many support from gods who have been attacked by your brother Aries.”, said the man with canine head.

“Also can’t you do something about your brother, he has also started to intrude into my worlds as well!”, complained the man with a canine head.

“Hmm I may be able to propose a temporary alliance with Apollo’s faction and the triple goddess faction.”, replied Hermes

“Ahhhh I want to play a prank already~This is too much work!, Im so bored!!!!”, complained the furry man with a long tail.

“Yeah! Things are going so slow! I want to wreak havoc across all the realms!!!”, agreed the man with goat horns.

“You men all so violent, become a monk already!”, complained the woman with animal ears.

“Well it is part of our nature”, commented the man with a canine head.

“Hey monks are the ones who hunt us mounters and yokai you know!”, replied the furry man.

“Then become a eunuch!”, she counters.

“…..”, the furry man had no words to talk back.

BOOOOOM!

A loud thunder crash blasted from one of the channels.

“Ahhhh, he’s in a bad move, what a pain in the ass!”, it seems that it was from the woman with the animal ears.

Then suddenly her silhouette starts to change with a puff of smoke. While their forms were concealed it was obviously that she was shapeshifting her form to another. The woman was originally petite, but after her transformation she was more built and had a bit of meat on her. Her features where more ridged and tone, but still had a different kind off vide and form of beauty. She also lost her for ears and looked completely human.

“Honeyyyyy! Im coming!”, she calls out in a voice that’s made out go sugar, like any other wife would to her beloved husband. Her acting was top notch and you would have never guessed that she was talking behind his back the entire time!

“Alright I got to go-“, her screen cuts off.

Seeing her change into actress mode in a matter of moments made many member be wary of her. They all were backstabbing, thieving, tricksters, so they still had to be be cautious of one another.

Hermes: I know its essential to the plan, but he still is my father….

Hermes felt very conflicted, but he knew that this was the only chance he had at the throne.

“This should be about it, let us end this conference”, said Hermes and cuts off the connection.

He is plunged into darkness once again and left with only his thoughts and silence. He takes a deep breath and plots his new plan.

Back to the the main character who was currently in the hands of the mysterious man. The man was currently observing the strange creature and his allies were still in heated discussion over what the thing was.

The mystery man had won so he started to research the mutt with interest.

“Hey, boss what is this thing?”

“Hmmm… hold on”, he says and started to concentrate.

With a thought a black obsidian mirror appears. It was as small as his palm but it radiated with power. This mirror is highly associated with his myth and origin and one of his most powerful divine weapons.

Even though it was black in color the surface of the mirror was so smooth you could see your reflection off of it like any other normal mirror. The obsidian mirror looked plain but its border is surrounded by a unknown material carved with ancient glyphs.

The mirror floated towards the mutt and reflected the punny god’s body. The mystery man also looked at the back of the mirror and peered into its reflective surface. He started to go into a daze and he started to fully focus.

It looked like a relatively simple procedure, but mystical powers were at play. The helpless god looked at the mirror and what he saw was not his reflection, but the smoky depths of the underworld.

Almost like hypnotizing him the crappy god was enchanted and lay still. Like a CAT scan it proceeded to gather information and reveal its secrets.

The black haze that shrouded the god was lifted, and it revealed his true form. He had bronze skin and wore colorful clothing with patterns of red and green along with a loincloth. On his head he wore an ornament decorated with long red and green feathers and a skin of a jaguar on his back His most striking feature was the black markings and paint that covered his entire body.

“Whoa, boss took out his mirror!!!”

“It been said that it is a portal to the underworld!”

“I heard that he can peer into it and find out about the profoundest of knowledge.”

The gods where in heated discussion over their mysterious boss. Even as part of his faction, they knew very little about him. All they knew is his name, Tezcatlipoca. The god of the night and known as the smoking mirror.

He was a once an almighty creator god and head a high position in the Aztec pantheon, but it was famously known how he was defeated by his brother Quetzalcoatl in the godly realm. (will mention some other time)

His relationship is very similar with Apollos and Artemis. Both siblings, but associated with opposite elements. Only rather than complimenting each other, they often clash. Across various mythologies it is an age old tale of night vs day, light vs darkness. Unfortunately worshipers and mortals favor the light over the darkness.

What made things worse that he was once a god associated with the sun, but his rightful place was stolen by his brother when he was dethroned. His authority disappeared after that and the myth was set into stone. They power and faith he once received from the worship of the sun was now going to his brother, strengthening him every day.

In an angry fit he killed all the humans in rage by ordering jaguars to devour all the mortals. If he can’t have the faith then he sure as hell isn’t going to give it to his brother. In front of gods mortals are easy to dispose of, as if they were ants.

What a pitiful and childish revenge!

Unfortunately normal means cant stop a god, as Quetzalcoatl brought the entire dame race back from the dead with his own blood!

Tezcatlipoca at the time,”F*ck!”

This made humans immensely grateful and even more faithful towards his brother. His plan failed horribly and backfired big time. Earning him the reputation of an evil and merciless god while his brother was revered as a hero.

His brothers ingenious place painted him as a villain and he fell form grace. The very same mortals he could easily kill, he also depended on them for power.

As someone who massacred the entire human population, they were definitely not as willing to worship him and significant less sacrifices were heading his way.

Seeing nothing more for him in his realm, he knew he would never reclaim his throne. He started to venture out to other worlds and restart his entire legend and remake his reputation.

Black smoke started to pour from the mirror and bright green glyphs appeared on the mirror, revealing the information that the mirror has gathered.

“There is a strong force within this creature. Surprisingly, I thought it would be some 5 rated generation god, but it traces back much further back. Perhaps he is close to a primordial existence!”, exclaimed Tezcatlipoca.

“A god!!!!!”, shouted many monsters and gods, who where anxiously waiting for an answer.

“Why would it have such a form?”

“But its so weak…”

“But if the mirror says so it must be true…”

The gods were looking at the creature, doubting if it really is such a divine existence. But they knew what the information the mirror provided is bound to be true. As legend had it this mirror allowed Tezcatlipoca to be all knowing.

“It must be a native god of this world before Apollo invaded.”, suggested Tezcatlipoca.

“Unfortunately I expend much of my faith from my battle and I don’t have enough to peer into its secrets.”

Losing interest he goes back to business and puts on a stern face. “I need sacrifices, lots of them. Its going to take several decades to recover what I lost.”, said Tezcatlipoca.

While he found the creature interesting and its origin surprising, he had no time nor the energy to spare to look into it. His biggest priority is to recover and make this world his.

“Begin the restructure!”, commands Tezcatlipoca
