The Guardian gods - Chapter 64
Chapter 64
Finally crawling to an open space, Ikem looked up to the sky as his eyes widened. First thing Ikem noticed was that the sun disappeared and something was moving up above the sky, he could tell as whatever it was has a glowing luminescent light glowing up under it.
” What the hell is that” Ikem thought to himself in desperation as he looked up to the sky, whatever that was was causing a whole lot of pressure to him, he can’t describe his feeling even his father never has this much presence whatever that thing was was scary and clearly above them.
Ikem wasn’t the only one under this pressure as the whole planet of Nana and every being living inside of it was all under the same pressure, even birds were no longer flying up in the sky, predators were no longer chasing their prey, even the prey themselves no longer ran from their predator.
Everyone just stood in place as was perspiring, they couldn’t even look up to the sky where the pressure was coming from, the only know that anything above them was huge as it caused darkness to descend, the only ones managing to look up to the sky were the demigods but that soon changed as it seemed that whatever was above them felt the demigods gaze.
Ikem was still looking up to the sky to make sense of what was above him when all of a sudden he stopped breathing completely as an eye bigger than the sky above them opened up from where the luminescent light was coming from to gaze down into their world.
For some reason as soon as Ikem saw the eyes he felt like it was specifically gazing at him, the same goes for the sun god daughter Ursula, the children of the goddess of death Rot and Xerosis who were in the underworld but strangely looking up to a big eyes that appeared in their mother’s realm.
Tide and Flowua themselves who were deep underwater were spared from the gaze, as for some reason, they can’t see the sky from deep under the sea where they live but they could clearly see this eye and pressure on them for some reason.
Mual wasn’t spared either from the gaze and pressure down in his northern kingdom, he like Ikem was also laying on the icy ground to look up to the sky trying not to breathe in case he attracts the attention of whatever was looking at them.
Almost at the same time the gaze descended upon the planet, each gods in their realm all stirred in their sleep but they still couldn’t wake up, while stirring in their sleep, Nana the planet consciousness was also awakened when she felt the gods fighting back and struggling.
Nana’s attention was soon attracted by the eyes in the sky, a look of worry came over her came as she whispered to herself ” Should i consider myself lucky or not” obviously she recognized whatever being was gazing over her world.
Nana looked over herself, found she still wasn’t complete and she still had a lot to learn so she was about to go back to sleep but she felt her children struggling in their sleep, Nana understood the sleep was something needed for the gods sighed as a huge corporal female body came four from the huge planet, ignoring the huge being in space with her, Nana cupped her hand as the souls of each gods came out from their body.
Ikenga in his sleep was struggling trying to wake up and run as he was feeling a whole lot of pressure on him for no reason and he can’t see what was happening because of this damned sleep, so he was taken by surprise when his soul felt a calling, he immediately noticed the familiar presence calling him so he answered and with that his soul was drawn out from his sleeping form.

Following the calling Ikem ascend quickly to sky and soon found himself in space and right beside him was his siblings soul cupped in their mother’s huge hand.
” Why are you guys so stubborn?” Ikem and his siblings heard a soft voice speaking into their minds.
Crepuscular who was most familiar with the voice screamed out ” mother” as he looked up to see a huge face looking down into the cupped hand.
This was Ikenga’s first time seeing the face of his new mother and boy was she beautiful, the familiar presence he felt when he was in his god’s womb was no face to face with him, a small smile came over Ikenga’s face.
” Your sleep is beneficial to you as it is to our world, why do you force yourselves to wake up” Nana Spoke once again into their mind.
Jaws spoke out this time ” We felt ourselves in danger and the sleep was inhibiting us to do anything”
” You were not in any danger, it was just his presence that was causing a disturbance to you” Nana answered softly.
” His, do you recognize him” Ikenga asked he noticed the way she was referring to whatever was beyond the hand covering them.
” I don’t know him specifically, but I know of their existence” Nana responded as she opened up her cupped arm for the gods to gaze at the being hovering above their world.
A lot of gasps came out from the gods as they couldn’t believe what their eyes was seeing ” How is such a thing possible” this time it was Mahu who spoke out with trepidation in her voice.
Meanwhile Ikenga was thinking to himself ” What the hell type of verse or universe was he reincarnated into” In Front of Ikenga was a space whale he couldn’t even begin to describe the size, but he know that the sun looked small comparing to this whale, the whale looked like it could swallow the sun and their world at the same time.
Nana spoke at this time ” That my children is one of the child of the kaos himself and in the known universe they are called both destroyer and enrichers of worlds”
Keles asked in a nervous tone ” So which one is it here to do”
Nana let out a small chuckle ” Not the destruction part as our world is still right in front of you so obviously it wants to enrich it which is why it is looking, looks like your children caught it’s interest”
” How, what is special about them?” Crepuscular asked.
Nana shook her head and answered ” Nothing but if i were to guess, it will be because of the elementals living inside your children and also hahaha because it is curious on why they are still trying to look at it even though they are weak”
Ikenga asked something that has been of bother to him ” Does it know that we are now also staring at it”
Nana let out a chuckle again as she answered ” Indeed it does, as it is something expected of a planet’s consciousness and it’s divine being, we just are of not interest to it so it’s ignoring us”
The expression of the gods changed hearing Nana’s word but also because the eyes of the whale closed as the nose above its head opened up.
Nana spoke this time once again ” Do you know why they are called destroyer and enrichers of world”
Keles answered this time ” They could easily destroy world with their huge body, as for enriching, maybe it release something from its body into the world”
” You are not completely wrong, but they don’t destroy world with their body, they swallow it whole, hearing is the scary part, the world doesn’t die after being swallowed as it can survive and live inside of it, it has swallowed suns before so the world is not lacking in sunlight, but this creature also bears corrosion in it that eats away world slowly digesting it. No why they are called enrichers is similar but what they release isn’t from their body but from the world they have devoured”
” There are two sides to this, which is that, for a new world like ours. It will enrich us with treasures or life forms from different world but the down side is also the same treasure and lifeform it releases, owners of the treasures can seek it out if it has been fully corroded, in this case exposing our world and for the life forms it may introduce a life form that managed to survive inside of it and whatever survives inside of it, is clearly above our world”
