Winter Sage

Magic is just a Romantic Comedy

All that remained after the judgment hammer was struck against the big table was stillness. The sound of the hard wood signified the outcome. The next few sentences broke Hera's heart and shook Zeus to his core. Silent murmurs and chatter rippled throughout the room, but then snickers and laughter reverberated throughout the entire building.

The trickster and the goddess of beauty were seated at the two ends of the table, and all the gods were fixated on them. Zeus cast a wary glance at the trickster because she exuded an unsettling aura of avarice and triumph. Was it resentment? Or was there another cause? The powerful lightning deity can only ponder.

Slam...!

The goddess Hera shouted, "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US!?" She clenched her teeth and slapped her palms down on the table, hiding whatever emotions she was experiencing from view.

The two most prominent families in Orario just came home humiliated and devastated. Zeus and Hera finally found hope in fighting the worst catastrophe in all of Genkai after killing the second great beast of the world. They should proceed and complete their quest before returning to Orario as the heroes of the lower world, even though they are in a vulnerable situation as a result of the damage the leviathan dealt to them and despite their strongest adventurer being incredibly weak and damaged.

How wrong could they be?

Black as pitch, with scarcely a trace of light—like a monster-shaped black hole. The heaviness of its strength choked the seasoned adventurers. The heroes' will was devoured by its blood-red eye. Two of history's greatest families were interred under its right arm.

As the calamities' fangs crushed her, the Empress trembled on her knees in terror. As the dragon slowly tore apart her family, the Silence could only watch in horror.

She was the best; she made the hearts of other adventurers race with fear. She had never imagined in her entire life that this situation would quickly turn on her.

Only a blood-curdling scream would come out of her mouth before she turned around and took off running. What can she do after witnessing what the dragon did to the most experienced adventurer ever?

This was the creature that haunted the lower world long after the gods descended, and the gods feared him.

He was also the exact cause of Hera's fury against Ouranos. Together with Loki and Freya, they betrayed her, him, her children, and her family when he gave them the order to fulfill the mission. Now he is turning his back on them.

Oh, how she badly wants to wipe the smirk off that bitch's face.

She wants to brutally destroy that slut's head.

For the time being, she can only sob uncontrollably on her husband's shoulder as they concede defeat.

...

"Ya done cleaning up yet, old man?" Zeus stopped on his tracks as he looked back and saw Loki in her usual chill and playful demeanor. Beside her was Nine Hells Riveria Ljos Alf, accompanying her goddess.

"You know me too well, Loki, to even bring a lovely lady."

"Shut it, pervert." Zeus and Loki felt their backs shiver from the voice alone. Riveria readied her staff; she knows their new visitor is not in a good mood.

However, before Riveria can respond, a woman with white hair has already pinned her goddess to the wall.

"How dare you show your face here...?"

Riveria's eyes widened in shock at the immense display of speed. Loki's voice startled her, and she immediately started chanting.

"Harbringer of the end, the white sn-"
