567 Fated Encounters: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest 29/?: Nyzzet's Carelessness

.

.

Due to these news, the gods gathered inside of Agatheina's divine realm to discuss the Demon God that I stumbled across my relaxed journey through the Dungeon… I decided to leave Lazuli's deal for later, as she was still sleeping within my soul and I did not want to interrupt her recovery.

"A Demon Demigod of Parasitism?!" shouted Levana, the Beast Demigoddess of Bats and Bats Beastmen, granddaughter of Agatheina, through the artifact that Agatheina had given to me to contact her.

"Wait… isn't that god…? Impossible! That god does not have anything to do with Nyzzet's dungeon, how is it even there?! Wasn't it sealed inside the Central Continent?" asked Marnet, the Beast Demigod of Canines and Dog Beastmen, seemingly remembering something.

"It seems like it wasn't… those Gods are pretty good liars to hold in such a farse for so long… they sealed it inside a random dungeon, which happened to be Nyzzet's dungeon… what an unlucky man," said Morpheus, the Beast Demigod of Horses and Centaurs.

"Where is Nyzzet?" asked Maeralya, the Beast Demigoddess of Felines and Cat Beastmen.

"I'll call him," said Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength.

"He will take some time to get here, as he's currently taking a nap…" said Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature and sister of Merveim, who knew very well how lazy Nyzzet was as a god.

"It's probably because that lazy dragon keeps sleeping that he slept through the entire ordeal of Begudhur!" said Marnet, enraged.

"I can't believe how irresponsible of him to leave his dungeon unchecked for so long… he never realized at all that such a god was sealed inside his own dungeon?! What is wrong with his head?!" asked Nomera, the Demigoddess of Dawns, she was a motherly and serene demigoddess but became all angered and frustrated out of Nyzzet's laziness.

"I can't believe it either, my sister! That Nyzzet should really get a bit of a… well, a small punishment! How could he sleep through a big event that happened in the Realm of Vida and not even realize that a Demon Demigod is sealed inside his dungeon?! What is… happening with his stupid head?! Just like Nomera said, he is very irresponsible!" said Bovdohr, the Demigod of Eclipses, who also possessed a calm nature but became enraged for once over these courses of strange and almost comical events.

"Please… everyone… calm down, there isn't any point in getting all angry…" muttered Kaggoth, the Demon Demigoddess of Carapaces and Aquatic Invertebrates, she was being quite shy over the rage of so many gods, and due to her pacifist personality, she tried to calm them down before things went into the wrong direction.

"Well, first of all, I don't have much idea of who is Begudhur… so if you could give me a brief introduction, it would be appreciated… and also, please tell the gods to not be so loud, my family is currently having breakfast," I said.

We were all sitting around a large table while feasting in the delicacies produced in the city of High Lizardmen.

Vudia and Ailine were sitting in my legs, while Nirah was entangled in my waist, Belle was floating around my shoulders, and the seven harpy babies were around as well.

There were also a few other kids, Lizardmen and High Lizardmen kids that live in this church which works as an orphanage. I did not have much interest in inviting them to have breakfast with me, but Vudia, Ailine, and Belle invited them alongside Yerze, so I had to approve of it. Of course, Yerze was the one attending to their needs.

"Is Kireina-sama really talking with other gods?! Wow!" said a little Lizardmen kid with the head of a Tyrannosaur.

"So cool! She's really a goddess!" said a Lizardmen girl with the head of a Pterodactyl.

"Yerze-onee-chan, will you become a goddess too?" asked another kid.

"Children, please don't be so loud, okay? Kireina-sama is… remarkably busy as of now…" said Yerze, she had put on her maid outfit just like yesterday.

After hearing my words, Agatheina and the rest of the gods calmed down and decided to explain to me more about Begudhur.

"Kireina-sama must already have guessed if she ate some of its Clones, but Begudhur is the Demon Demigod of Parasitism/Parasites… He was quite a dangerous Demon God, that was born after Genesis was split into Realms, so he could be considered part of the young or new generation of gods…" said Agatheina.

"When exactly was he born?" I asked.

"We don't have much of a clue… He was just born when the Realm of Vida was being formed…" said Merveim.

"I'm pretty sure that he might be a few years older than us," said Morpheus.

"So he was born before you guys?!" I asked.

"Yeah… But he was sealed when we already were Demigods… It just that he never targeted our tribes by chance, as he was invested in attacking and parasitizing the humans of the Border Continent" said Maeralya.

"We are not clear about his origins, but Begudhur seems to have been born, similarly to other Demon Demigods, as a monster of some strange or rare species, who raised through power by leveling up and abusing the System and its skills. For a long time, he went undetected as not many gods cared about him, but when he started to take over Kingdoms after Kingdoms… it was obvious that he would be noticed sooner or later" said Agatheina.

"Begudhur… from what I recall, had a very bizarre divinity even amongst Demon Demigods… it was a very strong one as well, he's capable of parasitizing anything and absorb their powers," said Kaggoth.

"Due to his dangerous and limitless potential in that Divinity, he was deemed as a menace to all the gods, as they feared that in the future, he would grow too fast to be stopped without the intervention of Supreme Gods… Now that I remember, he might be a bit similar to Kireina-sama… but only in the way he grew so fast… though he took a lot of years growing in obscurity, in the last years before being sealed is where he caused a lot of mischief and chaos" said Morpheus.

"Well, Kireina-sama has eaten three gods already and she is not even a year old, so I don't think you can really compare her to Begudhur! At most, he would be like the very bad and terrible discount version of her, fufu" laughed Levana.

"I can see how he got away with it for so many years, these gods are rather lazy… he had to take over a dozen of Kingdoms for them to realize how dangerous he was? Could this also be the cause behind there being so little Humans in the Border Continent?" I asked.

"Yes, it is, perhaps, the biggest reason. This Demigod took the life of a few million humans on his path to raise to godhood before he was even noticed" said Marnet.

"Well, that's a bit ridiculous," I said.

"Yes… after that, the gods of the central continent became more vigilant of anomalies in the Realm of Vida within mortals… but after a few years, they seem to have regressed to their state before Begudhur was sealed," said Maeralya.

"How was he sealed then?" I asked… how could such an evasive guy be sealed after he got so strong?

"It was an arduous battle in the side of the Central Continent Gods, and no Great or Supreme Gods wanted to participate… they didn't want to descend and confront him personally, so they quickly raised Champions, Knights and Heroes, gave them their blessing and sent them in a crusade against Begudhur…" said Agatheina.

"It didn't work at first. Begudhur just parasitized them and absorbed their powers and becoming even stronger, he feeds upon dozens of Heroes until the gods were cornered and without many options" said Morpheus.

"And then… they found an ideal human, a Legendary Hero, they blessed him all together alongside his companions, and sent him in this last crusade, it was such a strong human that he held the power to defeat a Demigod through all those blessings he possessed," said Marnet.

"Begudhur's clones were too many, but those Human Heroes somehow managed to defeat them all while sealing them, until the final battle where they finally found Begudhur, inhabiting his physical vessel… They discovered that Begudhur couldn't exert all the powers he acquired through parasitism if he was not possessing a host, so they used this to their advantage and destroyed his physical body while also cracking his Divine Core through the instructions of the gods that blessed them… After that Begudhur was weakened, and sealed in a 'mysterious' dungeon… which seems to have been Nyzzet's dungeon when the fool was sleeping, mind you…" said Maeralya.

"So that's how it is…" I said.

Just as the explanation about Begudhur's origins was over, Nyzzet was brought into Agatheina's Divine Realm by Merveim.

"Ouch! It hurts! Stop, Merveim!" shouted Nyzzet… he was seemingly being painfully carried by Merveim…

"Here it is!" said Merveim, throwing Nyzzet into Agatheina's Divine Realm, as his giant body fell into a clearing.

Boom!

"Ungh… Just what is going on? Why have you all gotten angry with me all out of a sudden? Can someone explain?" asked Nyzzet.

"Can't you just check your damn dungeon for once?!" asked Maeralya, a Demigoddess yelling at a God…

"HIIIIII! M-Maeralya, why are you so aggressive?!" asked Nyzzet, intimidated.

"Just check your dungeon, you fool," said Hodhyl with a cold tone of voice.

"My dungeon…? What is wrong with my dungeon?" said Nyzzet, as he checked it through his connection with it.

"There is… nothing at all, why are you- HUH?! What is that being?! That power… that is not a simple mutated monster nor an Elder Dragon! Is this why all of you are so upset?! What is this and how did it get into my dungeon!?" asked Nyzzet panicked, after sensing the grotesque presence of Begudhur in the depths of the latest floors of his dungeon.

"You slept through the whole ordeal, idiot! But that is the Demon Demigod of Parasitism, Begudhur!" said Merveim.

"…Eeeeehh?! How could it get there?! Wasn't this about a god that was sealed in the central continent?! Why is it in my own dungeon?! This doesn't make sense at all!" roared Nyzzet.

"It would make sense if you were not sleeping when it happened!" said Agatheina.

"Sleeping?! I did not sleep- I did… I remember reading about it in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop… but… so those liars sealed this thing into my own Dungeon against my will?! They don't even ask me permission to do so!" roared Nyzzet.

"Of course they didn't ask you… Who would approve of such a thing? Who would approve of such a thing, idiot?" asked Marnet.

"Marnet-sama… please stop being overly mean…" muttered Nyzzet.

"Everyone, I think it's enough, he didn't know, it was a mistake but that's all… there is no need to vent your frustrations on him, there isn't even any point in doing so. Relax, and let us think about what to do" I said, calm down everyone.

"Ah… Kireina-sama… Thanks" muttered Nyzzet, finding comfort in my words.

"You're still an important ally, so I don't want you to be hated… Instead of hating you, I will just give you a slight punishment" I said.

"P-Punishment?!" asked Nyzzet… he might be thinking that I want to eat him.

"Yes, as a punishment for your laziness and ignorance by not realizing what happened in your dungeon, you'll have to train and be capable of fighting… how about it? I am not even asking you for anything else, become more useful as compensation to me" I said.

"A-Ah… T-Training? F-Fighting…?! B-But Kireina-sama…" muttered Nyzzet, this seemed worst from him than I thought.

"You'll have to man up, brother! Gahahaha!" laughed Merveim.

"Well, it is a fitting punishment, train and become useful… Now, Kireina-sama, what are your plans and next course of action regarding this?" asked Agatheina.

"I have currently divided my body in two, one of them is transferring all the people of this High Lizardmen City led by the Elder Dragon named Goghesdum… after that's done, I will convert the whole city in a golem and also put it inside my Empire… and well, after all of that, I am planning on 'rescuing' the other three High Lizardmen cities in the way, with Goghesdum help, that's it. I will track Begudhur as I do and react according to the situation I come across… His presence is honestly weaker than mine… although he seems to be growing fast for some strange reason… so I better not take too many days" I said.

"I see! Kireina-sama, let me know if you need any assistance in fighting him" said Agatheina.

"I don't think it would be necessary… and you would weaker severely as well… at most, Nyzzet should be the one helping as this is his dungeon and he can appear in here without having to spend too much Divine Energy," I said.

"M-Me…?! I-I don't wanna!" said Nyzzet.

"Sigh… Well, you don't have to if you don't want… for now" I said.

"Phew… T-Thanks, Kireina-sama- for now?!" shouted Nyzzet in bewilderment.
