Realm of the Ultimate Gods: Celestial World, Nibiru

In the temple of the Ultimate Gods exists a meeting room in greek fashion, with a white marble table formed in a ring with twelve thrones going clockwise around the table.

Alvatria entered the meeting room with light steps and sat down on the throne made of jet-black materials, positioned where the number 6 would be on a clock.

On the 11th throne sat Order. It would not be strange to call her chair a "throne worthy of a holy queen". It was crafted out of white marble and gold, and it was decorated with angelic pictures of human heroes from all ages.

On her left side, on the 12th throne, sat Chaos, the 12th and youngest of the Ultimate Gods. As how his eponymous element was the opposite of Order's, so were their thrones. Chaos' throne was created from an unknown black metal and had skulls of various monsters decorating it. it looked like the throne of the demon king. Or something from a chuunibyo's notebook.

"Then, what's the result?" asked Alvatria the other gods in the room.

"With the defeat of the Disaster of Water, better known as the Water-Knot of Glavras Dungeon, the list over the twelve Ultimate Disasters will now be updated. And could the creators of the artificial Disasters please give us some more info-" - Order

"Nope~. Be happy that I even revealed the Disaster Rank~." - Alvatria

If stares could kill, then Terra Sol would be one Ultimate Goddess less due to Order right now. But she couldn't do anything but heave a sigh over it. None of the other Gods divulged much information about their artificial Disasters either, so trying to make the biggest troublemaker amongst them do so is a futile task.

That is right. Most of the Disasters that terrorize Terra Sol at this date are the creation of the very Ultimate Gods that the populace worship. Only four Disasters, those representing the elements of Wind, Light, Order, and Water, were "natural" Disasters that were prophesied to appear. Though, the oracle who made the prediction said that there would be "twelve great disasters", the gods took that as an opportunity to put humanity on a little trial of their own.

"Then we all agree on having the Water Disaster's Disaster Rank at the current level?" said Order while projecting the list in the middle of the ring-shaped table, allowing the gods present to take a look.

Chaos looked at the list, with a winch of regret that the Oracle that divined the titles of the Disasters couldn't have named his a little better.

"The true power of the Disaster of Water was supposed to be a threat to the whole continent, but the constant sabotage before its "awakening" lowered its power greatly. Its Disaster Rank is therefore reduced to F-. Any complaints?

"Fine with me~. That thing's strength was too much based on its body mass to be considered B-Rank material there."

The one who spoke was Lusalki, an adult woman dressed more for being on a tropical beach than a greek temple as she showed off her pale blue skin underneath her swimsuit.

She was sitting on a throne made out of polished corals and shells. This, along with the throne being the 2nd position, confessed her identity as the Ultimate Goddess of Water.

The other Gods agreed with Lusalki's comment, as the Water-Knot of Glavras would only be a threat if it had developed the Dungeon a little more before initiating its advent to godhood. If his mind had properly been installed into the Dungeon, his new body, then maybe things could have ended differently...or not. Even the gods may not know. Or maybe they do.

"It seems there's no other choice but to grant her my Proof." - Lusalki

"In that case, a reward-" - Alvatria

"HOLD IT! L-let me do that for you instead!" - Lusalki

"Oh? Why the sudden generosity?" - Alvatria

"Eh? W-well... Just because!" - Lusalki

"Hmm? Alright." - Alvatria

That is because your definition of a "reward" is never good for anyone, was the collective thoughts of the Ultimate Gods as they pitied the Champion of the goddess with the worst personality possible.

After finishing the meeting, the gods left their seats. Alvatria went for the temple's garden, with Chaos catching up to her there.

"Hey, Ria, got some time?" - Chaos

"Only for a price." - Alvatria

Without another word, Chaos produced something he knew the Darkness Goddess had a weakness for: sweets from a different world.

"Yay~. Chaos and Order are sure damn blessed, being able to get goods from other worlds like that~." - Alvatria

Alvatria sat down on the table produced by Chaos and started to munch on the sweets, looking no different from a regular girl of her apparent age, rather than a goddess of Darkness, fortune, and evil.

"Then, what's on your mind?" - Alvatria

"First off, I got to ask: is the Disaster of Darkness something you made?" - Chaos

"Eeh~? What are you talking about~? Of course, I did~." - Alvatria

Chaos sighed out in relief at this piece of news. Then in the worst case, Ria can stop the Disaster-

"But the thing is, that child only responds to "go". Not even I can stop it." - Alvatria

"Say what!?" - Chaos

"Aw, relax. I've made several countermeasures to prevent it from crushing the world. Even I will be sad if my playground gets destroyed." - Alvatria

But you wouldn't mind if the excitement overdid the loss of never being able to use that playground.

Chaos couldn't do anything but hope that humanity would be able to use said countermeasures when the time comes for that Disaster to awaken. Not that he was any sure if the result would be a world better or worse after said Disaster ran through it.

"You should keep in mind the different Disasters instead of worrying about my handiwork." - Alvatria

"...true. What are your thoughts?" - Chaos

The goddess of evil schemes is the last one to fail, was Chaos' belief regarding this matter, so he asked the expert of disastrous events and creatures for her thoughts.

"Going according to the list, that 'Titan' is a mystery. But knowing Agnir, she's probably made that one herself. Or rather, she would have extinguished the Disaster beforehand and replaced it with her own that's several times worse." - Alvatria

"You got a point there. She's probably wishing to make humanity call her down to the surface again so she can fight it herself." - Chaos

The Ultimate Goddess of Fire would never turn away the opportunity to make havoc on the mortal realm after all.

"As for Glavras that my Champion crushed, he probably got the information by some slip-up from Lusalki, but she's trying to hide that fact." - Alvatria

What is she doing!?

Chaos couldn't resist the headache coming from his older sister's troublesome personality. Even Ria's more responsible than that airhead.

"And for the Wind Disaster, since it's something completely unknown creature, the chance of it being from a different world is the most probable explanation, but you and Order are more knowledgable about the other worlds. Figure that out yourself." - Alvatria

Figured she would say something like that. And you are the biggest expert when it comes to that.

"And the Earth Disaster is probably something that evolved outside the limits of the System, but that Kishor decided to keep quiet about it because he felt bad for the little critter." - Alvatria

Its title and the old man's personality would make you believe that theory...

"The Light Disaster is natural. If that straight-laced idiot were to make something like a Disaster, then its Disaster Rank wouldn't be that low." - Alvatria

"True that. He would probably take his job too seriously and create something like a rank S+++." - Chaos

Chaos shuddered over the thought of what the Light Ultimate God would have made if he was given that job.

"And I've just explained my Disaster, so moving on to Iksti's-" - Alvatria

"Which is a challenge-type Disaster. I already know that." - Chaos

"We have to thank the emperor for defeating it so fast. Especially considering the continent it appeared on has seen better days." - Alvatria

"Then what about the 'Myth-Killing Armament'?" - Chaos

"Probably something that Helph made? It's not shown itself, so I'm not sure." - Alvatria

And Helph himself doesn't want to tell anything about it. Heck, is its Disaster Rank even real?

"The Sludge was artificial, as Yrla enhanced something similar that already existed." - Alvatria

She bragged about it in the first Disaster-related meeting, so that came as no surprise.

"As for the Death Disaster, it could be equally something that Tharos made or something that crawled up from the Netherworld on its own." - Alvatria

In other words, too little information...

"You know more than me about the Order- and Chaos Disasters, so I'll skip them." - Alvatria

"Sure, if you say so." - Chaos

"Then, for my reward: ten more of this ~." - Alvatria

"Oi! They were the whole payment!" - Chaos

"Only for me listening to your request. The information I had about each Disaster costs just as much each, and that's family service to boot." - Alvatria

And like that, Chaos had to produce more sweets from the other worlds for the goddess that seemed to not know the fear of toothache or turning fat. Just another peaceful day in Nibiru...

Meanwhile, at the surface: Garami's PoV:
