Taweir's deep scheme

A little while before the world core vanished. 

"A deal? I do not have any need for your assistance in this endeavor." A sharp voice entered Zick's head as he touched the red portal before him. 

"What makes you so sure? You might be able to run away now. But the great gods would notice your connection to this incident in no time." Zick spoke unprotruded by the sharp rejection.

It was not hard to find out that some unknown god was scheming behind others' backs. 

This portal could not have been created just like that, though it might seem like a natural occurrence. There were cases where two world cores resonated with each other, so taking that into accord, this weird phenomenon was not out of logic. 

Still, the other gods were not fools, they were aware that there was a high chance that this was a conspiracy from a third party. 

So their doubt would of course head to the one who created this portal.
