Life As A God - 8 Chapter 8

“Calm down everyone. I’m sure that the contract appearing and disappearing earlier was caused by the lack of magic on Earth,” Chronos said, trying to calm everyone. “Just sign the contract and prepare to welcome the Almighty when he comes to Heaven.”

Chronos, being the oldest of the Gods, was well respected. After hearing him, the rest calmed down. Of course, there were some that were still worried. However, when they thought of the fact the Chronos, as the God of Time, can see the future and past, they abandoned those thoughts.

After giving his speech, Chrones went inside his mansion. He looked towards the only person in the hall. He was a tall man in a suit that looked like he would never smile.

“So, you were saying that you had to write the contract … twice?” Chronos asked.

As if in a panic, Pride quickly said, “Of course, the boss knows best,” I did not see why he was so afraid. Wrath did not look like he could hurt a fly.

“As I was saying, I was not visited by anyone before I got these powers, ” I said, getting back to the topic at hand.

“Are you sure that no one was around?” After a while, Raphael added, “Even a dead body?”

Reluctantly, I admitted, ” There were 2 bodies.”
