Chapter 2019: Worship the Deep

Adrian suddenly remembered that he did have someone like Altum and that he still has a mission to make the Dark God Dagon a holy relic. He has not talked much about this with Altum as there are barely any players in the guild that can swim in open water without losing their breath. The only ones that can do so are Adrian, Kabrakan, Peridot, and Altum. Adrian has a protective layer when he enters spaces that are unnatural, and he does not need air to breathe.

Kabrakan can change his armor to suit the seas which is why he was the one that helped Altum the most. Peridot is a dragon which makes her easily traverse the sea as her dragon species is tied to water more due to being close to the moon. Altum is a given since he is a Deep One and the Champion of Dagon. Adrian wanted to search the oceans and seas which is why he tasked Kabrakan and Peridot to help Altum level up when they are free.

"I can talk to their god directly, but I will also inform him. Please start the operation of the teleportation circles for now. Destroying the tail will be priority for now and we will work our way up if necessary. We can destroy the Leviathan itself when all parts of its shielded body get broken." Adrian stated as he vanished from the meeting area and left the elders to do the initial plan.

Adrian already messaged Altum and told him to meet up at the place where the Dark God Dagon is currently staying at. Adrian appeared at the area, and one could see that it is raining which meant that the Dark God Dagon has put up a barrier. Adrian could already know why the Dark God Dagon has set up a barrier as greater gods can manifest into the world. He is sure that The Dark God Dagon has received a few visitations from them.

[The Dark God Dagon has invited you to his divine domain.]

Adrian suddenly felt the space twist and mist rise from under him. When he regained his vision, Adrian is now in front of the Dark God Dagon with Altum on his side. The presence of the Dark God Altum is the same as a greater god due to Adrian feeling the pressure. He looked closely and saw that the Dark God Dagon is somewhat injured, but he was recovering.

"I can already see what happened and why the barrier is happening. Do you need any help from us?" Adrian asked as he has yet to complete the holy relic mission that he was given, and the Dark God Dagon might be sealed once again.

"I am fine, champion... no...I think it should now be Mediator Equinox. I have been in the main world ever since I have been revived. I am much stronger than a greater god that descends. They may attack me in a group, but they can never seal me since I already transformed part of this place as my divine domain." The Dark God Dagon stated.

"Sorry about that. The number of things that I needed to do has increased and looking for the things needed made it more difficult. I did get good news from Altum that he managed to get an item that represents the role of a father. The only thing that is needed is an item that represents the deep." Adrian stated.

Adrian learned from Altum that he was able to secure the item that represented the father by getting a piece of the Father of Fresh Waters Oceanus. The item was given when Altum and Kabrakan helped the whale kingdom. It was actually considered a heritage item, but it was given to them when Kabrakan pleaded for it after helping save the whale princess from death.

"Do not worry about it, mediator. I know that you are a very busy person as you always made sure to support my champion. Giving my faith and trust to you is a something that I gave willingly for I believe in you. For the last item, I believe that you will be able to get it when you kill the Leviathan. The Leviathan is a primordial beast that often became known as the Terror of the Deep. Its heart will prove to be something that can be used for my holy relic." The Dark God Dagon stated.

"If that is the case, then I would like to ask for your help." Adrian stated.

"My help?" The Dark God Dagon stated as he looked at Altum.

"The guild master... I mean Mediator Equinox needs our aid to give a way for land dwellers to move in water as if they are standing on it. If there is a way for them to move in water undeterred then that would also be beneficial." Altum stated.

"Is that the only thing that you need? It is much easier than I have thought." The Dark

God Dagon stated.

"You have a way?! I would love to know as it would be incredibly helpful since we now need to kill the Leviathan." Adrian pleaded.

"You do not need to plead, Mediator Equinox. All you need is for me to accept the prayers of the land dwellers, but they must submit an offering. Favors from gods are not something that can be easily gained after all." The Dark God Dagon stated.

"Please tell us what to do as it would greatly help not only the others but also us as well." Altum stated.

"All you need to do my champion is to create a totem in my shape where the land dwellers can pray to me. I would also like to have a totem of me in the Church of the Twin Gods as well if it is not too much to ask." The Dark God Dagon stated.

"The totem near the shore is doable but the totem in the Church of the Twin Gods to represent you as a god under them would take some time. I would need to go with a vote when it comes to the addition of your totem to the Church of the Twin Gods. You would also need to give a Covenant that you will surrender to the Twin Gods." Adrian stated.

"I can do that right now. I, the God Dagon, shall give my allegiance and loyalty to the protector of this universe! I shall serve the Twin Gods with all of my being until the day I turn to nothing." The Dark God Dagon stated as the skies darkened, and a powerful divine energy swept the entire world.

[The Dark God Dagon has pledged his allegiance to the Twin Gods.]

[The Council of Life and Death will convene in an hour in order to see if they can approve of the decision.]

The Dark God Dagon seemed somewhat weakened as he used some of his divine energy as a sacrifice for his covenant. Even though he has yet to be approved by the other gods of life and death, he made sure that his resolve is certain. The first world message was given to all of the world while the second notification is only for Adrian to see.

"Please start doing the totem near the shore. The number of believers would also help the God Dagon recover some of the divine energy that he expanded for the covenant. I will be busy for a moment as the Gods of Life and Death have started to cast a vote and I need to oversee." Adrian stated.

"I shall do my best, guild master!" Altum stated as he did a salute before ripping a teleportation scroll to Avalon since he has already told that a magic circle has already been set up.

"I await the favorable news, Mediator Equinox." The God Dagon stated as he saw Adrian vanish from the area.

"What is the meaning of this, Mediator Equinox!? Why is a dark god begging to be a part of our group." One of the gods of life shouted as soon as Adrian appeared in front of them.

"Sit down!" Adrian stated as he emitted a powerful pressure that had the power of the God of Death Abaddon since he was summoned as the Mediator of Death.

The rowdy group of gods of life and death suddenly became silent as they did not expect that the new mediator has such a personality. They thought that they could order Adrian around as he is someone that is newly appointed. Levin Cloud soon followed and the gods of life that became quiet started to become talkative once again.

It seems that the gods and goddesses of life have already talked a lot with Levin Cloud. Adrian could see that they were talking to him with minimum respect, but they do not treat him with utmost respect that he should be given. They were basically treating Levin Cloud like someone under them as they complained about the current situation.
