We don't need it all gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a second later, Lailah opened up a new portal home, and a large furry creature came bounding through the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All must worship and fall before Camazotz!!!\" He roared to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the large bat god suddenly arrived at the venue, reactions were not as terrified as much as they once might've been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because he had on a little blue bowtie in addition to his traditional Mayan skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, boy.\" Lailah called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camaztotz was at Lailah's feet before she could even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat on his haunches and stared at her with black, sparkly eyes filled with adorableness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah scratched him underneath his chin. \"We've got a little treat for you, big guy. A little reward for helping Mira get up in the morning for all of these years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Camazotz tilted his head to the side. \"Reward for Camazotz? Not share with brothers and sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah smiled and shook her head. \"Bagheera, Entei, Bayle, and Gandora will get their own rewards in their own time, but this one is all for you, buddy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camazotz's black eyes became slick and glossy with tears. \"T-Thank you, snake mommy..!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah pointed behind him, and Camazotz slowly turned his head while following the sweet scent filling up his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Titan sashimi!\" Laialh presented proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camazotz gasped openly and let his jaw drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A literal mountain of cubed meat and a river of powerful blood lay before him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one called Asmodeus was even nice enough to prepare a bib for him so that he wouldn't ruin his precious little bowtie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" *sniffles* \"This is truly what it means to have family..!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It sure is, big guy.\" Nubia smiled. \"Go on now, have fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camazotz never needed to be told twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bounded across the now-repaired floor and jumped into the tower of meat like it was made of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several gods turned away in disgust, but Camazotz had actually become a more mannerable eater thanks to Audrina's persistent tutelage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pubfuture AdsIn fact, he could almost be considered rather cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, one of the other deities had freed Zeus and Hades from the time loop that they were trapped in by their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They watched in horror and fascination as that very same father was nibbled on by an oversized, but adorable, bat god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they quickly forgot all about that when Lailah said something that immediately piqued their interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, shall we talk about succession now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The table full of heads of each pantheon stared at Lailah awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't exactly expecting to witness a public execution today. Even if it was with someone as deserving as Kronos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do hope this isn't sympathy I feel.\" Lailah suddenly said. \"I am quite sure none of you are unaware of what Kronos would have done with Kirina had she not bested him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deities grimaced and shuddered at the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite how fast Kronos was moving a moment ago, the oldest of the gods were able to see his every movement and action quite clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze that he was giving Kirina could've only meant one thing. And who knew what might've happened if he had actually been able to touch her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his face would have been a far worse one than what was shown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None mourn the wicked titan, old friend.\" Shiva said. \"But I fear the gratuity in his violent death may trouble the stomachs of some.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine...\" Lailah sighed and relented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her fist and an illusory veil was wrapped around Camazotz and his feast- obscuring it from the view of even the primordial deities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better? Should I perhaps provide some pepto for your upset stomachs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As if you could be that hospitable.\" Izanagi remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have other pets who eat gods, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izanagi decided then that maybe he just shouldn't say anything for the rest of the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah sat back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest. \"Alright then. You are all free to make your nominations now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do not have someone you wish to appoint?\" Odin asked with a raised brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have any authority over something like that. My family's job is to keep deities in line, but not appoint them.\" Lailah closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\" Everyone just stared at her as if she was the most shameless woman they had come across in recent memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't much appreciate these gazes.\" Lailah replied without opening her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked away after a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I announce my claim to the throne of Mount Olympus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus stepped forward while holding a badly broken arm and nursing a heavily bruised left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am my father's strongest son. As such, I have the right to\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Every deity at the table said at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus' face twitched. \"A-Are you daft?! I am-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" They repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, Lailah was just really glad that they said something so that she didn't have to. That would have been exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades didn't even bother putting his hand up. He just kind of wanted to go back home and push this day far into the recesses of his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods just went to ignoring both of the brothers as if they posed absolutely no significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone have someone they wish to see nominated as head of the Greek faction? Speak now or forever hold your piece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at Shiva in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That was my attempt at humor.\" He confessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiva received a couple of dry laughs of pity, which in turn made Nubia actually giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will go first then.\" Odin sighed. \"I would nominate Ares for the head of the Greek faction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity of war stood up after some time. Clearly, he was as surprised by the nomination as everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, Lailah was quite surprised by this choice. But she wasn't actively against it, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ares wasn't just a family friend, but Lailah considered him to be a rather misunderstood deity as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one got to know him a bit, they would realize that he wasn't nearly as thoughtless as the other Greek deities would have outsiders believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above all, he was a misunderstood deity who'd been dealt more than a few bad hands over the course of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though Lailah didn't actually have a problem with this choice, she knew that there were others who definitely would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"NEVERRRR!!!!\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in Greek armor and a less than attractive man with red hair both stood up in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They practically bit off their lips flinging curses about and signifying in no uncertain terms that Ares would never be accepted by them as long as they lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the two of them were relatively important members of the Greek pantheon, their wishes could not simply be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ares remained standing, but in the back of his mind, he and everyone else knew that he was unlikely to be chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting beside him, Aphrodite's heart silently ached for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods named more and more deities after Ares was first championed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These included Athena, Apollo, Hyperion, and jokingly Dionysus. This time, Shiva's joke did actually land and as a result, the divine beings enjoyed a round of raunchy laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stands, Dionysus was so offended that he didn't even know what to do with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feelings were hurt on a level that only a good blowjob could fix...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the deities were named one after the other, eventually it came time for Shiva to give his own, serious recommendation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-skinned god took his time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at many of the gods with a look devoid of judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered many things about them. Temperament, virtue, wisdom, and mutual respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then for another brief moment, his eyes settled on Lailah again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, she claimed to have no dog in this fight. But he knew her well enough not to just overlook her potential opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason why the Tathamets had chosen her specifically to attend this meeting without bothering to volunteer anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah was effectively a nuclear deterrent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was sent, it was to endure that the gods did things right the first time. That way Abaddon, or god forbid Seras, had to come back here in a less than pleasant mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would the Judicators of the gods find to be the most favorable outcome here..?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt of lightning struck his mind. He had no idea how he'd overlooked such an obvious choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I nominate Prometheus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several deities missed the moment when Lailah cracked an imperceptibly small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1510,"2026-06-03T10:37:01.355Z","2026-06-03T10:37:05.113Z",1,"novelbin.me","5ae147cbd711f82b98e69e6572b94c3e9684dca115ccc6f91007f8f54b46dcd0","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-875","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-873",1284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
