2402 A Peaceful Island

-----

"It's another peaceful day…"

Gaia admired the blue skies and the clouds slowly moving across the skies, the sun brightly shining above the skies, while the many other stars being created illuminated the skies above even more beautifully.

"This Realm has changed so much, as she continues to grow, so does the entire world she has created. I never thought that Divine Realms could expand to this point…"

It has been years since she was remade by Kireina from a Soul Fragment, and a lot has happened since then. Although she helped her defeat Zeus and his Pantheon with her information and powers, she noticed that the fights never ended.

And that things only continued to get worse, battles, war, bloodshed, it was without end. Kireina would continue fighting for those she loved and for her own survival, and Gaia admired that.

However, she was an Old Titaness, she had lived for millions of years, saw the birth of a new world, and even created countless children.

There was once a time she was the happiest, before the Ragnarök that tore apart Genesis into countless other Realms. Where her children lived happily and together, where her husband was alive…

But now all of those times were gone, and she had accepted her death long ago, yet by a miracle, Kireina ended finding a lasting piece of her Soul, reviving her, and giving her more power over time.

The same happened to other fallen Titans, such as Helios, Hyperion, and Oceanus. Their Soul Fragments granted Kireina the power she needed to stand against the Gods that plotted her demise, and by helping her fight them and teaching her many things, they were able to do a last good deed after their deaths, and even avenge their fallen comrades felled by these gods.

However, since then, many things have happened, but Gaia had remained in here, within a large island in the middle of a beautiful azure sea, merged into the island itself, over time, her physical, humanoid body, felt weird.

She wanted to rest.

So, over time, she merged with the island and became one with it, the nature, the earth, the mountains, the volcano, and even the coral reefs beneath.

This was the nice, relaxing rest she wanted, after having suffered so much, after having fought and died, only to be revived and made to fight again…

This was the retirement she desired.

Hearing the tranquil waves, as she sensed Oceanus merged within the nearby seas, as she felt the beautiful sunlight, which was also Hyperion and Helios, merged into the light and the sunlight.

The small star shining above her island were those two. Her Titans were born with elemental powers and could channel these elements and become one with them.

SPLASH!

She saw the seas splash, as a beautiful half-fish giantess with blue skin and a single crimson eye emerged from the oceans, walking into the island while carrying a net full of fish she just caught, most of the divine beasts.

The giantess, with a muscular yet feminine body, covered on white, tribal tattoos, and wearing only the bare minimum to cover her body, walked towards the small village in this island.

Her long red hair waved by the wind, glancing the seas one last time while smiling, before making her way into the village.

Inside the village there were a lot of people similar to her, sea-faring cyclops with blue skin and gills, alongside fins on their elbows, shoulders, and back.

Most of them either had azure, blonde, or red hair, and their eye colors usually were either red, gold, and blue.

"The chief is back!"

"Hydros-sama!"

"Mamaaaa!"

Dozens of people like her ran to her side, although much smaller than her height of over four meters, as they could only reach two meters at most.

Despite how simple they looked, all of these people were Gods, born as Gods, and the children, and the descendants of her children.

"Hello everyone, the seas have blessed us with a good harvest today as well! Uncle Oceanus has sent you a few Coral Jewels as well, so let's have some fun crafting magic items!"

"Ooohh! Thank you, Oceanus-sama!"

"Yaaay! I want to make jewelry!"

"I have to make a ring soon, if I ever want to propose to my dear…"

Hydros smiled, as she glanced at the huge mountains and the volcano in the distance, she patted her children's heads, seeing on some of them her traits as well, very faintly though.

She walked towards her home, the largest house there, made of mud, wood, and stone, covered on plants and leaves, there, she entered and found her daughter.

"Mother, it seems you're back."

She had a fair beauty unlike her, smaller in size, with a single crimson eye, but clear purple hair, and above all…

Wings, butterfly wings, of beautiful azure and pink color. Her slender body also had the beauty of both of her mothers.

She was wearing a beautiful white and blue dress, which was the dress of the Priestess of this village. She was the oldest of Hydros children, and had special powers inherited from her other, mysterious mother.

With such powers, she was able to create illusions, enter into dreams, and conjure powerful wards and barriers, with this, she protected the villagers from Wild Divine Beasts.

Right now, she was preparing rice and other meals for their lunch.

Hydros hugged her daughter and kissed her in the forehead, hearing a few other footsteps.

"Grandma!"

A little one-eyed boy appeared, running towards his grandma, unlike his mother, he only had a single butterfly wing.

"Ah, my cute grandson! Where's your dad at?"

Hydros happily hugged her little grandson, patting his head.

"Daddy's out in the farms! Oooh, you brought a lot of jewel corals!"

"Yes, that's right."

Gaia smiled, looking at Hydros life.

Indeed, it has been many years due to the time dilation, and Hydros had moved on.

After being revived thanks to Kireina, and sharing a single night with her, she realized that she was not fit for these fights and desired something more.

Something more peaceful.

Slowly disappearing from Kireina's life, she settled on this island where Gaia lived, where she gave birth to her daughter, and then created other children asexually, making up her village.

"What a peaceful life you have, Hydros… Is this what you wanted?"

As Gaia sighed, suddenly…

FLASH!

Space distorted in front of her, as her senses were left shocked.

An enormous, cosmic presence emerged.

RUMBLE!

The ruler of this Realm, a goddess beyond the cosmos.

She spread out her long, golden wings with bright azure eyes, her long golden and black horns glistened beneath the sunlight, and her black and red dress waved by the wind.

"This is where Gaia must be, right?"

Kireina glanced around the skies, noticing several Divine Presences that had been growing a lot in these years the Realm had gone through.

The people of the island's village panicked, pointing at the skies as they saw this utterly dazzling goddess.

"Look! Is that… a divine beast?!"

"No, her aura… is she a goddess?"

"Who is that?"

"Her wings… they remind me of Amphitrite-sama!"

"The priestess? Oh yeah, she does have her wings…"

Kireina noticed all the chatter down below, realizing there was a small village on this island, which was where Gaia was resting.

"Oh?"
