[V1/C6] ARRIVAL

As Asclepius's group were in the middle of entering Thailand aerospace. A being twice as big as Satan with an elephant head and a porcelain-like body, holding four axes with his four arms, came heading their way.

The elephant-like creature saw the shadows of the ten lesser evils along with Satan and proceeded to launch an attack.

The being began trumpeting his trunks and threw one of its axes towards Asclepius, aiming for Satan's head.

Asclepius didn't have any methods to block its attack, so he evaded it instead after reaching contact, but upon evading the whirling axe, the axe came rushing back at them like a boomerang and continued to chase them mid-air.

'Tsk! To think I'd meet the God of Thailand himself here!" Asclepius only had his dragon armor protecting him just in case of any mishaps and it is also only lent to him by Siegfried.

The God of Medicine looked at the other Lesser Gods below doing absolutely nothing and were just standing by.

Seeing that no help would arrive, Asclepius had no choice but to use "that" to distract the opposing God.

While he was dodging its persistent attack, the axe finally found its way back to its owner.

The God with an elephant head spoke towards Asclepius upon receiving his axe back. "Asclepius, what's the meaning of this?" he spoke in a serious voice.

Seeing that the pursuit had ended, Asclepius sighed in relief as it ended with him not using his hidden card.

The God of Medicine stopped midair. Lowering his head he replied "Lord Ganesha, the God of Thailand, I am here to retrieve Satan and put him into the custody of Olympus" Upon answering, he then looked at Ganesha and politely gestured respectfully continuing his sentence "If there's any sort of misconception, to prove my sincerity, feel free to rid of the Lesser Evils following behind us."

Ganesha stared at Asclepius with no reply whatsoever.

After a moment of thinking, the God with an Elephant's Head warned him."If what you say is false, Olympus will soon be stormed by Hundreds and Thousands of Gods from all sides" Shrinking his eyes, he stared once more with murderous intent.

The calm God, Ganesha, doesn't like liars, and throughout history, he upholds balance and justice for those who deserve it.

Seeing the Golden light emitted by Ganesha turning into the color of murky red, the lesser evils didn't hesitate and went along their way in different directions.

Ganesha already saw through the plans of Olympus and that underneath the veil of Asclepius hides a narcissistic smile, but without any evidence of their betrayal of Humanity, he has no other choice but to let them pass for the time being, except for the ten lesser evils.

Ganesha lifted four of his hands and threw his axes in different directions.

One by one, the Ten Lesser Evils were hunted down by the axe of Ganesha, but even after slaying the minions, he didn't look away at the sight of Asclepius and Satan.

....

After completely eradicating the remnants, Ganesha spoke."Tell this to Zeus, I'll be waiting in Egypt, where the Divine Council will be held", he said with spite in the tone of his voice.

Asclepius lowered his head once again and bid the God of Thailand goodbye." As you wish, I shall tell Hermes to pass your message to Zeus" he then looked at Ganesha with assured calmness in his eyes as he bid goodbye, "Farewell, God of Thailand."

After that short conversation, Asclepius flew away from the scene and began his journey back to Greece.

As they left, the axes he threw came back to him, and immediately, he departed to the Philippines.

***

Back in the Philippines at Mount Apo.

The unconscious Rey woke up from his long "nap" and started hurling at the boat.

"Blurghhh... Hmp...! Blurghhh..." While he was vomiting, he saw that there was a huge shadow cast at the boat, and so he looked up and saw a beautiful Goddess staring at him.

"Human... Do you see me?" She questioned the mortal lying on the boat who just finished ejecting some gross kinds of stuff in his mouth.

Rey heard her but due to the shock, he remained dumbfounded at the sight of the beautiful Goddess.

'Guess this mortal is indeed only a mortal after all...' she thought to herself as she crossed her arms, waiting for the cavalry to arrive.

A moment later, Ganesha arrived at the scene, along with Shangdi, Acintya, Mau Lieu Hanh and four other Gods/Goddesses.

With their arrival, Amaterasu, who was deeply staring at the petrified Rey, proceeded to go to meet the other Gods.

The 9 Gods/Goddesses held a meeting on top of the crater encircling the volcano; since Amaterasu was already depleted of her Divine Energy, Ganesha, the God of Thailand, spoke up for her to exclude her from the sealing.

"Amaterasu, it seems like you don't have much Divinity left... I apologize for arriving late as there were some important matters I dealt with back in my territory," the representative God of Thailand said with a humble tone as he lowered his head to apologize to the Goddess Amaterasu.

Seeing Ganesha, the other Gods and Goddesses also did the same and asked Amaterasu for her forgiveness.

The Goddess of the Sun almost lost her life at the hands of the Devil without any backup from the surrounding Righteous Gods, but she can't blame them since she acted too rashly in her approach to subdue Satan, which led to her defeat.

If Asclepius hadn't used a clever trick to take The Devil away, then the fight would've continued, which would only have resulted in both sides suffering heavy damage and may as well put themselves at a disadvantage since Olympus is the one backing up Asclepius.

Amaterasu sighed and spoke with no ill intentions to the other Gods and Goddesses."Haa.. let it be since it already happened, I am also partly to blame for having been reckless in my actions."

After deliberations, a God from China raises his hands in concern of the lacking Divine Power to reseal the monstrosity sealed beneath the volcano.

***

The God is called Wufang Shangdi, but most mortals call him Shangdi, an ancient Chinese deity. The greatest ancestor and deity who controlled victory in battle, harvest, the fate of the capital, and the weather. He had no cultic following, however, and was probably considered too distant and inscrutable to be influenced by mortals.

***

"Everyone, since Amaterasu has already forgiven us, what about the remainder of Divinity that we are lacking to reseal the being underneath? Shangdi then stroked his long black beard, circling in one place, trying to find a solution to the problem.

"Hmm..." While circling and thinking, he noticed one strange occurrence."Wait, to whom is the power of time and space which engulfed our surroundings?" He asked.

Now that they think about it, the space within the domain has stopped moving. Amaterasu and the other Gods and Goddesses don't have the Divine Power to put time on hold, so all of them are quite perplexed as to whom did it.
