Hero of Darkness
chapter-524

[[AUTHOR : Before you start reading. Note that this is a chapter that shouldn't be skipped or skimmed through in a hurry.

Read carefully because there won't be any mention of all the Gods, Empires and Species that run them again all at once ever again.

This is a key chapter in the World Building of the novel. So take your time.]]

One by one, Kahn went through the details of all the Gods, the respective empires that served and worshipped them and which prominent species or forces ruled over them.

In the end, he wrote down a list for himself after carefully gathering the superficial information that was allowed in this empire.

There were a total of 12 Gods that people were led to believe. And out of the 15 Empires that existed in the world, 12 of them served and followed the doctrine of all of them.

1. God of Light

Name : Aotrom

Empire : Valgus Empire

This empire was controlled and run by Angel species who also call themselves Lightbringers.

2. God of Fire

Name : Hetrax

Empire : Vulcan Empire

Ruled by the imperial clan of the Fireborne species. The one Kahn was currently in.

3. God of Sea

Name : Itasaso

Empire : Tenger Empire

This was an underwater empire. Run by Farraige who were a mixed group of seafolks as well as various aquatic species and identified as a community regardless of their species or origins.

The empire was one of the three biggest empires of Vantrea as it was literally the biggest sea in the world.

4. God of Space

Name : Raum

Empire : Erdve Empire

Controlled by the Rymden species.

Although there was no information about their appearance and physical structure…

ᰍaꪧda ᱅o᱇ꫀl This was the only race in the world that was proficient in Space Magic and abilities related to teleportation.

5. God of Time

Name : Vremya

Empire : Amser Empire

Run by Vrijeme, the descendent species of ancient creatures who had time controlling and shifting abilities.

Among all the other empires, this one was the only one that didn't go to war with any other empire. And even changes in ruling powers were caused only from the inside.

6. God of Sentience

Name : Jutigas

Empire : Erzo Empire

Ruled by the Citiaci race, a highly intellectual species that was considered to be the most advanced civilization among all the other empires of Vantrea.

These people were equivalent to the Kryptonians of Vantrea. Even with their low birthrate and limited population of 1 billion people, they were untouchable and no empire ever won a war against them ever since its founding 700 years ago.

7. Goddess of Knowledge

Name : Minerva

Empire : Viden Empire

Run by the Kennes species who were akin to martians for someone from the earth.

It was an empire with many descendants of archaic species from old times and probably the most advanced empire when it came to magic formations and artificing as the Goddess Minerva's decree to her devotees was to broaden their horizons to the world and use mana and world energy to create new ways to prolong their lives and improve their civilization.

8. God of Life

Name : Gyvenimas

Empire : Zivot

Run by the Elven species.

This was the empire on the other side of the Vulcan empire where Kahn could've possibly gone to had he not chosen to be in the Fire Empire when he was in No Man's Land.

9. God of Earth

Name : Zemlja

Empire : Erde empire

Ruled by the Pamant. A species that had natural abilities to control the terrain and even travel through the solid ground as if flying in the sky.

10. God of Lightning

Name : Kraatar

Empire : Fulger Empire.

Ran by the Eldingar race, a species with inborn affinity with the lightning element. Their bodies shared the resemblance with humans but had many additional traits in their appearances.

This was an empire nobody dared to pick a fight with since the entire empire was full of beings and creatures with control over lightning, one of the most destructive elements of the world.

11. Goddess of Wind

Name : Aponia

Empire : Vigel Empire

Ran by a joint community of species called Uccello.

The majority of the species in this empire had wings and some of them could transform into bird-like flying creatures or small humanoid bodies. Overall, it is mostly filled with flying creatures and species.

12. God of Nature

Name : Termeszet

Empire : Nadur empire

Run by the Beastkins. It was an empire fully made up of Beastkins and Demi-Human races. And as per the history books, Humans were barred from entering this empire and would be killed on site.

Mainly due to some human empires of the past had waged war on them and enslaved them for centuries.

Even the summoned Heroes of this empire were subjected to constant monitoring.

With this, the information on the Gods and their respective empires ended.

As for the rest of the empires… there was nothing available on Dragon and Demon Empire other than them being ruled by Dragons and True Demon species.

No information about their rulers or the power structure, their society, culture or what kind of different races inhabited them was available.

There were also over half a dozen separate kingdoms spread across Vantrea. But compared to the 14 vast empires, these were like small islands.

And the strongest and biggest of them all was called the Belmont Kingdom. A kingdom ran only by the Vampire race and it was created 250 years ago. But no one had any crucial information on it just like the Dragon & Demon Empire.

As for the last and final empire… there was no mention of it as if it never existed.

Kahn understood that it was the Abyss Empire but he already knew that it was called the Abyss Forest now and there were many Godbeasts living in it.

And just as he expected… there was nothing available about God of Darkness. And what happened 300 years ago.

According to their books, the previous Heroine of Fire died while fighting a Godbeast. But no mention of where and what kind of Godbeast it was.

So after 2 years of his time in Vantrea, Kahn finally had the idea about who were his said enemies and what kind of powers, species and forces he would have to face in the future.

Kahn then understood one crucial thing.

That if he ever wanted to become strong enough to face these empires in order to protect himself…

He had to find his Divine Weapon.
