Chapter 1091 - Delegation's Arrival
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 12:15:09 +0000 UTCArtemis teleported across the Great Planet as she answered the summons of Yggdrasil. Not that she had to be summoned in the first place, as she’d fully planned on being present when the people from the Order of the Malefic Viper arrived. This was a day she’d been waiting for, after all.
Soon enough, she was at the trunk of the Mother Tree. Her former Patron gave her permission to enter, and with a single teleport, Artemis appeared within the Primordial, which was also where they planned on conducting the meeting with the divine delegation from the Order.
Instantly upon appearing, Artemis felt the pressure of Yggdrasil’s aura, but luckily, they weren’t that close to the crown where the pressure was highest. Unlike most gods in the multiverse, Yggdrasil had directly incorporated her Divine Realm into her body, keeping all of it hidden within the crown of the tree, which was also what had given birth to the grand world hidden within.
The last time Artemis went to meet Yggdrasil, they had been closer to the crown, but as the plan wasn’t to intimidate the Order of the Malefic Viper, there was no need for Yggdrasil’s aura to put unnecessary pressure on them. Some pressure was still a good idea, though, and no place in the entire Pantheon of Life was safer than within Yggdrasil.
Within the trunk, Artemis found she was far from the only one who’d been summoned. Nature’s Attendant was already there, along with over a dozen other high-ranking gods from the Pantheon of Life. Most of them were Godqueens and Godkings, but a few of them were of lower ranks, primarily present because they specialized in political matters.
As for why Artemis was there... well, some did question that.
“Artemis, I’m surprised you decided to attend a gathering like this,” a Godqueen called Nimera said with genuine surprise when she noticed the newcomer. “With your true body, even. What’s the occasion?”
“I attend sometimes,” Artemis answered, seeing no need to disclose any personal details. It was true she didn’t usually take part in these kinds of things, but it wasn’t as if she was never there.
“Sure, but that still makes this a rarity,” Nimera continued with a smile. Artemis knew the other god had no ill intent with her words, and she would consider them friends as they’d gotten close after spending a couple of millennia hunting together only a few million years ago.
“I invited her here,” Nature’s Attendant spoke up for Artemis.
“Oh?” Nimera looked at the second-in-command of the entire faction with surprise. “How come? You two are really getting me curious.”
Nature’s Attendant threw Artemis a glance before he answered. “You remember when the associates of the Wyrmgod sought us out not that long before the integration of the ninety-third universe happened?”
“I do,” Nimera nodded. “They wanted images for that Colosseum of Mortals Challenge Dungeon in the C-grade section of Nevermore, right?”
“They did,” Artemis took over. “And I provided one.”
“Now that I hadn’t heard,” Nimera said. “I guess your presence does make some sense, then. That Chosen of the Malefic Viper will be part of the delegation, so you being here along with Nature’s Attendant will at least mean there are some familiar faces.”
Artemis nodded, happy that the topic was seemingly swept over in such a clean fashion. At least, that was what she’d hoped.
“Hey, seeing as your image was used, you got recordings of the fight, right? Or at least you can request recordings? Can I see them at some point?” Nimera asked, once more just innocently curious.
However, considering the recording Artemis had received held quite a bit of content that wasn’t related to an arena fight, she had no interest in sharing it with anyone, much less her friend.
“No, I think I’ll keep it to myself,” Artemis said.
“Fine... I guess its value does go up the fewer people have seen the recording,” Nimera very inaccurately guessed why Artemis didn’t want to share her image’s escapades with the Chosen. “But, can you at least give me a little hint? I know it was just an image of you in there, but from what you saw, did he seem any good?”
“He is the new top-scorer of the Nevermore Leaderboards,” Artemis merely answered, really wanting to bury the topic for now.
“Good point,” Nimera shrugged. “Either way, I look forward to seeing him. I just hope he can properly handle the pressure in here... it’s not very healthy for mortals to experience this level of presence.”
“He’ll be fine,” a voice echoed throughout the chamber as the Mother Tree finally revealed herself. Out of the wood, a dryad’s body began to grow as Yggdrasil manifested a humanoid form to more easily interact with them all. “Based on what Tonken told me, I couldn’t affect him even if I wanted to. Not without directly using my presence to attack.”
“Surely that’s an exaggeration,” Nimera said, looking to Nature’s Attendant for answers.
Nature’s Attendant just smiled. “Within Nevermore, he had a direct clash of aura with Valdemar, the victor undetermined.”
Nimera just stared at Nature’s Attendant, clearly finding that claim hard to believe, but considering its source, she had no choice but to believe it.
“From what I understand of Vilas’ Chosen, it would be unwise of us to treat him as we regularly would one holding such a title,” Yggdrasil also spoke up. “He is a rather... unique individual. Despite being a Chosen, he does not appear reverent of his Patron. He respects the Malefic Viper, but he does not worship him. Moreover, likely as a result of his Bloodline, he is not only able to resist the auras of any other beings, but he is also unable to view himself as a lesser creature to anyone and anything. Even gods.”
The words spoken by the Primordial made quite a few of those present frown, with only Artemis and Nature’s Attendant subtly nodding along in agreement. Both of them also knew a bit more about Jake from having interacted with him at least a little, and in addition, Nature’s Attendant had shared with her the intel they’d bought from the Court of Shadows and Nevermore regarding Jake. While they didn’t have a lot, both at least had their own subjective understandings that seemed to mostly match up.
“That also appears to be why the Malefic Viper treats him almost like an equal. Because to be viewed as his equal is the best that any of us can do. You may not approve of him, and you may even find him overly arrogant and full of himself, but if you do, please leave now,” Yggdrasil spoke. “He is here as a guest for a reason, and if Vilas has decided to see him as an equal, then none of you are qualified to do anything less. Moreover, he does have some qualifications for his arrogance, and I would heavily advise against making him a future enemy. He is a hunter, after all.”
Artemis listened and was quite taken aback, to say the least. She understood the first warning about how his Bloodline affected Jake, but the later portion was entirely unexpected. It was clear Yggdrasil viewed the Chosen of the Malefic Viper in a very favorable light, something not many of the gods present could see the reason for. What’s more, she even seemed a bit worried.
Part of it was likely due to what she said about the Malefic Viper treating his Chosen like an equal. While Artemis still felt a little doubtful if that was true, it would explain a lot, including the recent theater play the two of them put on to lure in Yip of Yore. Artemis had to confess that after she’d seen what happened, she couldn’t help but think if such an attitude wouldn’t make him a heretic...
No, that wouldn’t make any sense, she quickly dispelled the thought. Jake was the Chosen of the Malefic Viper, and there was no way he could be both a Chosen and a heretic at the same time. That would just be way too... unnatural.
“Then how should we treat the Chosen of the Malefic Viper?” one of the gods asked.
“With respect,” Nature’s Attendant answered. “We will not tell you to treat him like an equal, but we will expect you to at least keep in mind that the Malefic One appears to. So even if you do not directly respect the Chosen, respect his Patron and thus him in turn. But more than anything, do not disrespect him needlessly, even if he is still only a mortal.”
There were a few nods throughout the room, and despite Yggdrasil saying they could leave, no one did. While Artemis knew that none of them entirely understood, she knew they at least respected the Mother Tree and Malefic One enough to do what was said.
“They shall be here shortly,” Yggdrasil spoke again as she finally decided to shift her consciousness to the dryad body she’d summoned to speak through that. “Be aware that the Chosen of the Malefic One and the Grand Elder of the Academy are not the only two notable guests among them. The All-God Legion seems to have joined them in their travels.”
That last part was definitely a surprise to everyone, including Artemis. Sure, she’d known the Unique Lifeform had taken an interest in Jake, but she hadn’t expected such a powerful god to tag along with him like this. Alright, sure, Artemis had no proof that the All-God Legion was only here because Jake was, but she would stake a lot on that being the case.
The gods around all chatted with one another about this sudden piece of news. Many of them wanted to even see if they could take this chance to get closer to the All-God Legion, as he was known to be a good person to be friendly with. Artemis didn’t join their chatter but simply waited until, soon enough, Yggdrasil looked toward a particular spot. “Here they are.”
Less than a second later, a teleportation circle appeared on the floor right where Yggdrasil had been looking. The magic circle slowly gathered power before activating, giving everyone a brief grace period before the delegation from the Order of the Malefic Viper would arrive.
Several more auras appeared within the room in an instant as Artemis looked at the newcomers. She saw the All-God Legion, the Grand Elder, and all the other gods present, and yet her eyes went toward the sole mortal present who stood in the back. Nearly all the others who’d arrived had taken a moment to adapt to Yggdrasil’s presence, but he hadn’t even flinched.
Instead, his own eyes had scanned the room and met Artemis’ as she stared back into the inhuman eyes of a born predator. At that moment, she once more understood what had initially drawn her image within the Challenge Dungeon to the man.
Their eyes remained locked for a moment before both turned their gazes away. Now wasn’t the time or place yet for them to have their long overdue talk. No, before that could happen, they both had a job to do as members of their respective factions.
--
Jake suppressed a smile after he and Artemis averted their gazes from one another. Just from that very brief interaction, a lot of Jake’s worry had been dismissed. Artemis hadn’t looked at Jake with any negative emotions as far as he could tell, though she was definitely not looking at him the same way her image had during Nevermore. A difficult talk was still in the pipeline, but for now, things seemed pretty okay.
Of course, they couldn’t just stare at one another without catching attention, so Jake looked away before he assumed others would think it was weird. Seeing as they’d met in Nevermore, it naturally shouldn’t surprise anyone that Jake recognized her, but he still wanted to keep what had actually happened between himself and Artemis between the two of them. At least he wasn’t going to be the one spilling any beans.
He kind of wanted to just have his talk with Artemis immediately, but he knew there was work to do first. Luckily for him, he wasn’t the leader of this little delegation, forcing poor Duskleaf out of his comfort zone no matter how much he hated it.
“This one greets the Mother Tree,” Duskleaf bowed toward Yggdrasil as he spoke in a respectful tone. “I thank you for allowing our presence, and I hope it can be the beginning of something greater.”
It was a bit direct and to the point, but Yggdrasil seemed appreciative as she looked at the old alchemist. “I thank you for coming, Grand Elder. You too, Chosen of the Malefic Viper and All-God Legion.”
She said the last two while looking toward Jake and Minaga, respectively, with Minaga just grinning and scratching the back of his head. “I reckoned it would be fine if I tagged along. I did get a standing invitation at some point, right? Well, alright, I technically didn’t get any invitation, but one of me definitely did, and we tend to share amongst one another.”
Minaga was still Minaga no matter where he was, and once again, no one present seemed at all surprised by how he acted, as even Yggdrasil merely nodded. “You are always welcome in the Pantheon of Life. As long as you respect that this is our home, of course.”
“I’m literally inside you right now, I’m well aware I should be respectful,” Minaga nodded. “You could kill every single one of us pretty damn quickly if you so desired. Well, except Nature’s Attendant, but knowing him, he would help you in squashing us to death.”
“You are as interesting as always, Minaga,” Yggdrasil said, shaking her head. “Besides, I don’t have full confidence that at least one person from the Order’s delegation wouldn’t be able to escape.”
Yggdrasil didn’t make it clear who she was talking about by looking or motioning toward anyone, but Jake definitely assumed it was Duskleaf. Weirdly enough, others seemed to believe it was Jake based on how many glanced his way when she said that.
Jake had wanted to also introduce himself, but felt a bit awkward doing that now after all the other talk. Thus, he just stayed silent as Duskleaf spoke up again.
“It has been, what, two eras since I last set foot within the domain of the Pantheon of Life? I must say, the development has been splendid, and the number of planets teeming with life within your influence has expanded more than I originally projected,” Duskleaf said, laying it on thick with the flattering.
“Things have indeed been going as we’d hoped,” Nature’s Attendant jumped in and spoke. “I can feel from you that your progress has also been worthwhile. I attended an auction recently with one of your creations, and it was certainly the main attraction.”
“Oh, I believe I know what you’re talking about, and I may just have happened to bring along something very similar,” Duskleaf continued. The two older-looking men were definitely going a bit overboard from Jake’s perspective, but he couldn’t really say anything. He was also wondering when he was supposed to give Nature’s Attendant and Yggdrasil the bottles he’d been given by Villy.
On the one hand, doing it with everyone else present would show off a bit, but on the other hand, he had no idea if Villy would have wanted him to reveal the gifts to everyone. He considered asking Duskleaf but, for now, decided just to stand back. If the alchemist wanted Jake to hand stuff over, he could damn well tell him to.
After the two old men had been talking about mostly nothing for a little while, with Minaga not even trying to hide how bored he was, Nature’s Attendant finally changed the subject.
“Ah, where are my manners,” he said as he finally turned toward Jake. “I was the one who invited you, and yet I just let you stand there. I do apologize for my rudeness, and I’m glad to see you found the time to visit so soon.”
“I should be the one thanking you for having me,” Jake said, trying to be polite. “So far, the trip has definitely been worth it just going by the sights I’ve seen.”
“I’m glad to hear that, and I naturally hope to make this trip even more worth your time. I do believe I owe you a favor, correct?” Nature’s Attendant asked, though, in reality, it was more him announcing to everyone present that he owed Jake something.
“You did insist on that,” Jake nodded, not wanting to make it seem as if he’d asked Nature’s Attendant for a favor. He had been the one offering it, after all.
“I did, didn’t I? Well, either way, we should definitely discuss that more closely later in private. Yggdrasil and I would like to speak with you later. When it’s just the three of us. If that’s possible, of course?” Nature’s Attendant asked, still being a bit overly polite in Jake’s opinion.
“Of course it is,” Jake smiled, also very relieved for now, knowing when he should hand over the gifts.
What was perhaps a bit less relieving was the ever-growing amount of stares he got that had only increased in intensity the more the conversation had gone on. Some of them didn’t seem that nice, and Jake just hoped he wouldn’t come to regret this visit to the Pantheon of Life.
Or, more accurately, that no one would try and make him regret his visit.

So we went a little romance novely there this chapter. Wasn't bad. I liked it. Brings back those books the meet up in public type with 2 factions and such. Anyways I'm glad Artemis is back in the story. Really had hoped we would just forget that happened in Nevermore. Tyftc
Joken
Some records of Y&Y? Liquified and wrapped like some tequila shots?
Joken
Did the aura clash with Valdemar end in a tie? I remember Valdemar saying something along the lines… “you guys didn’t notice? I lost”
Schuh
Where is north on a leaf?
Daniel Hamilton
I’m kind of hoping Villy has a step in due to a god doing something stupid. Be interesting to see him pissed off. The last time someone close to him died he Destroyed a good portion of the Multiverse. He had to be calmed down by the other primordials coming together. The way some of the gods are acting it feels like One of the gods is going to go too far. Villy was just playing with his food in regards to Yip of Yore. There’s a universe in between playing and serious from a primordials viewpoint
Bob Burns
Nope I was busy getting ready for work 🙃
taylor ritchie
Mabey a b grade that's In love with her not lovers thow
taylor ritchie
Pretty sure it was stated Artemis doesn't have lovers like at all and that's why she's making a big deal out of this other wise what her image did would not have shocked her as much
Rewdan
Will you be first today🤔
brjenness
Toilet thoughts... It would take a pretty dumb god to not realize Jake wasn't as much of an uppity mortal as some assumed if he remained quiet during the two old farts rambling and also pointed out that NA only owed him a favor because NA chose to owe him a favor.
brjenness
Two types of gods...those who believe their own hype and those that see all the submissiveness and worship as at least partially counter productive.
Shaibene
Im seeing a jealous B grade lover of Artemis starting a fight with jake, hes called Jack and hes basically a b copy of Jake
Seen Death
I understand many would be jealous or dislike jake for some reason, but its weird seeing people from the order being so disrespectful or dismissive of Jake They do realize one misstep and they get obliterated right? It just seems like a suicidal mentality for no real benefit. I do look foward to whatever issues are about to arise though haha. Its so weird, i cant imagine Villy/Duskleaf chose these people by accident- in which case i have no clue whats actually going on I cant wait for the next chapter, hopefully in a few hours :)
John Durrett
Tftc. This chapter has been added to my records among my most favorite.
John Durrett
Valdemar couldn't even touch Artemis no matter how hard he tried. Which could very well endear Jake to Artemis alone for that gesture. Jake protect!
John Durrett
Well, her "image" was hunted by a better hunter. They might just go on safari, Waltzing Matilda to see how they compare. Going to be a fun ride along.
John Durrett
When Mother Tree says to treat with respect and dont create enemies, after saying no one is qualified to judge otherwise when Villy treats him as an equal, and he tied the God of War in an Aura Battle... it will be their loss if anything happens due to their own disrespect.
John Durrett
Are you sure that Root 69 wouldn't be more fitting? lol
David Proctor
Please title the next chapter Loot 69.0
Greg Meller
I’m also waiting anxiously. A Jake/Artemis matchup has so much potential for something meaningful. I think Zog is definitely on the path of offering this potential. A new Hunter faction born of these two uniting, akin to Valdemar and Gudrun. Along with any resulting bloodline progression and whatever system defying monster that kid could be.
Corvid
Man it would have been hilarious if he had duskleaf give jake a gag gift "performance enhancer" potion.
Corvid
No kidding. What kind of swag does Lucifer's nephew give out as gifts.
Corvid
Might actually be a nice record boost for her honestly, and that stuff matters a lot for gods. Hell even just having Duskleaf and Villy hang out while he made Vespy got them levels.
Corvid
Ha, yeah. Of all the audacious things he's done, I feel like trying to goad the primordial of karma is riiiight at the top. Only slightly above his di-... aura measuring contest with the primordial god of war.
Corvid
Yeah I would probably say just his one-on-one training with the Minaga clone is more impactful, considering Minaga's power being on par with primordials and him being a master of the blade as well.
Jordan Rogers
I thought so been thinking about it, I wish we had a name for them(natures wife and daughter, villy’s mother-in-law and wife) I just feel like Jake will pull of the biggest alchemy project with Villy in the history of the multiverse and bring them back at somepoint
Alex
Altius’ Records are probably completely fucked after Yip usurped them, so I’m not sure how much there’d be to salvage there. Also, Altius was an incredible prodigy with the blade, but he was no god. What counts as ‘impressive’ grows dramatically through the grades — a mediocre god would be better than an A grade at anything, no matter how good the A grade was. Altius would have been carved up like a fish on a block by any god who followed a sword path, even while the god was restricting themselves to be weaker than he was.
The Uub
She was an S Grade who never made it to godhood.
The Uub
It should probably read, "as interesting as ever."
Quinn
Just a thought but I wonder if the ss could ever get some inspiration from Altuis of the blade. Would be cool if he got a skill or something realeted to the fallen swordsmen
tahae mahaki
Loved this chapter, couldn't have come soon this meeting between Artemis and Jake
Apollo Greed
Hilarious
DeamoniumDraco
It was also mentioned somewhere, during Nevermore I think in a side chapter, where one of the Primordials mentioned they don't necessarily like being distant and "aloft" from others. It's just that even gods have trouble being in their presence, much less mortals. So they can't really make any sort of meaningful relationships aside from leader and follower. So Jake being able to just chill is somewhat novel to the old souls
Paulo Furlaneto
I'm a fan and i want service hahahahhaha
Phil Ritter
Who knows maybe he will make a higher elf out of her. We still don’t know how and if he can affect the enlightened races but intimacy could help a big deal
Phil Ritter
If only they knew of his conversation with eversmile during nevermore. He is probably the only one who would ever try to pull shit like that.
David
Yeah but Jake is from pre system Earth, and he's never been one to follow norms anyway. Also Artemis seems to have not found anyone else interesting and doesn't seem like the type to share
Bob Burns
But will they?
TyranT-Rex
I don't think monogamy is the norm in the multiverse. I don't think it'll be an actual relationship, but likely something that gets revisited when Jake is A or S grade. I think if he ever has kis, Artemis being the first mother of his children would make for a very strong kid.
CaptainFlowers
What little time she actually spent with Jake did in fact effect Artemis. Ygg even comments on it and knows Jake is the reason for her recent progression.
Cory Sauls
Hopefully we will find out what that means at some point
brjenness
that would be a good opportunity to learn what shattered dusk means
dash w
Thanks for the chappy
David
Every day I keep hoping to finally read the meeting between Jake and Artemis and every day it seems oner chapter away. I hope when it does happen I won't be dissapointed, it would be very nice and refreshing to see Jake form an actual relationship for once and not just leave it as a casual thing or a promise to "maybe sometime" in the future. Could be funny when his family asks if he has a GF, or make for some interesting scene seeing as Ygg had told Artemis to wait until Jake was S grade.
SuprKDrgn
Nope, she was hunted by a better hunter.
Cory Sauls
Will be a great read if that happens. Will be an utter shitshow for whomever kills him.
ABTelford
😂😂😂. Now I really want to see that! 🤣
ABTelford
Yea, I wonder if Villy or Ygg are going to have to step in to save or resurrect him because some god squashes him.
J W
No he will carry it out so that the conversation starts at the end of Thursday next week and only get past the gift giving portion on friday. But we won't find out what it actually is till Monday the following week.
ABTelford
Oh man that would be hilarious! 🤣🤪🤣
ABTelford
Nah, the fight with Valdemar had lots of copies sold but only to really high rankers in huge factions I think.
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
ABTelford
Only succubus and inccubus level up through intimacy. That’s not part of Artemis’s path.
Sarianne
That's what happens when a book comes out... but then you are behind on what's happening here... and there are cliffs at the end off books too 😅😁
ABTelford
Nice chapter. Funny how at the end, even after Yggdrasil’s speech, the gods are reacting negatively to Jake just talking - and he’s being polite and respectful instead of his normal self! If only they knew… I can’t wait to see their reactions when Jake and Minaga have one of their typical conversations! Lol!
Tristan
Ask and Ye Shall Recive Thank you Mr.Zogy the chapter is greatly appreciated
TwoMoreYears
Loved the chapter. It’s always fun to get an unexpected pov. An Artemis pov wasn’t necessarily unexpected but I definitely didn’t expect to see the lead up to Jake’s arrival. Definitely looking forward to this arc.
SuprKDrgn
If they don’t get together then I quit. When they do in this arc she will be godqueen because of that and the gift will put her higher or vice veraa
SuprKDrgn
Wait till the demon wedding
SuprKDrgn
Very accurate about being in a tree
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth layers on top of layers more plots than CSI
Rewdan
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Johnny
I’ve had the occasional gripe but damn if this isn’t the best chapter in a long time! Love all the interplay, the awkward long distance relationship-finally-meeting-in-person vibes, Minaga not caring about formality, and other POVs of Jake being Jake. Great stuff
SinCinnamon
Fertility potion
TwistedVanity
Another great chapter. Thank you
Trevor Mergen
Thanks!

It's probably the most embarrassing thing Villy could come up with. e. g. Divine lube

REE?
AfroMocha
I haven’t finished the chapter yet only at yddrisal taking about Jake as my favourite like third-party description of Jake lol
Carl Never
Hey thanks for the perspective sceen we were all talking about if you would yesterday. By the way whats your mmr? I hear you play
Alex Salamanca
Jake and Artemis, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Ben Cox
Damn it, that sounds incredibly likely. Why can't Zogarth mass drop 1000 chapters so I don't have to deal with cliffhangers
vio
Nooo
Ira White
Oh of course. Tomorrow will finish up introductions someone from the pantheon is going to probably do something stupid or atleast plan on doing something stupid. Artemis will step in and suprise everyone but Ygg and NA. Which will cause an snit with the other deities. Jake will flex his aura making everyone present except Ygg, NA, Artemis, Duskleaf, and Minaga to piss themselves in shock. And before we know it it'll be Friday where we will get a SHOCKING revelation that we won't get the long awaited chat between Artemis and Jake till atleast Wednesday because Edge master Zog knows that anticipation makes everything better. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Clint
Gift exchanges with peak gods == godmode LOOT.
Timothy Spradlin
I had the same thought, and I suspect it will be high as Artemis said she was just a step away.
brjenness
I dub the "most malefic reader"
Jordan Rogers
Is ygdrasil, natures attendant’s wife/significant other? Being villy’s wife’s parents? I just thought he was Yggdrasil’s second and that the wife’s mother was never mentioned…
Kasey Lindenmayer
Really looking forward to what happens!
Cory Sauls
I do enjoy a good conflict, and so does Jake. Looking forward to this Arc.
Corac
Yeah...I'm a big fan of that fanservice so thank you
Arieh Sochaczevski
How is that different from every other day? מה נשתנה…
Arieh Sochaczevski
I believe that situation would only add to the pleasure for him.
brjenness
don't fall for the trick. the malefic scribe is setting us up to crush our hopes and dreams later
Arieh Sochaczevski
I don’t remember exactly what the genealogy of Villy’s wife was, but I’m almost certain it was NA with someone other than Ygg. Just like Dina.
Jennifer Leigh
His wife's mother didn't make it to godhood. Ygg has no direct relation to the Viper.
Ty Cooper
Lol I keep reading all the posts about "interested as ever" being wrong. I get the ss is as but I took the "interested as ever" being a joke from Ygg. Minaga is always self impressed and him being interested in himself as ever. I get it reads better and makes more sense, but i didn't even think of it till I got to the comments.
Roy

Luis
What are the chances that the gift will help Artemis to become a Godqueen?
Xander
Just block Bob then youll always be first
Jordan Rogers
😱
Gareth Morgan
I think to an extent the gods really don't care about impropriety (which is different to disrespect). It is always the followers who get angry at the disrespect.
Xander
It can go either way. either Ygg shifted her conciousness before the statement meaning she was speaking through the dryad so the sentence is refering to how Ygg is now speaking or Ygg moves after the statement in which case the "that" is unnecessary. Depends on the emphasis and timing of the shift :)
Lawrence Dillon
Were going to be teased with the jake artemis conversation on friday arent we
Ty Cooper
Is the loadstar the first God to make it to his list?
Ty Cooper
Yeah it's a godly perception elixir
Xander
TFTC :) Suggested edits: "to *burry* the topic for now" should be "bury" "You are *ss interested* as always, Minaga," guessing "as interesting"?
Ty Cooper
Tftc! Ha Jake getting that good old envy hate. I was thinking more on the shocked side but I didn't even think of the jealous and envious side of things. The gods from the order can't even imagine getting a personal casual meeting Nature's Attendant and Ygg, besides Duskleaf of course. Let alone a favor owed to him from Nature's Attendant. I like how they play it up even. That is disregarding the conversations before the meeting on both sides. Good chapter with lots of fun stuff to wander through my head at work today.
Sushi
I believe he was referring to their battle of presences. In which case Valdemar did declare Jake the winner, but I’m not sure if many of the gods present for the battle would willingly believe that or openly spread the word that a primordial lost.
SnowReason
I think the reference to winning is referring to the aura clash in the god party area. Jake was protecting Artemis while going up against Valdemar so technically came out on top in their encounter.
lockx
The stares because they're a. Shocked at the type of conversation, and b. The fact that Jake isn't affected at all by the fact that no one is really holding back auras is hilarious
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
Klown Keidra
See as she is his Mother in law, I imagine they already are bffs, just needing to rekindle all that after Villy went into seclusion for so long.
Tom Roe
Yeah someone is gonna pull something for sure. Who's going to get whooped this time?
Naotsugu97
Arigato!
Devin Williams
The Viper, Holy Mother, Blightfather, and Wymgod were told that Jake won the Aura Contest....it's unclear if Nature Attendant, Minaga, and Artemis were included in that side conversation.
Tyler S.
During the part where Jake was visiting and clashed auras with Valdamar Val mentioned to those in the VIP section that he lost because Jake was protecting Artemis
Justin Moen
Tyftc!!

Excellent. Love the set up. Jake gonna have to fuck somebody up.

Hearing something from Artemis' perspective was total fan service from Zogarth's side

This has a great undertone of “meeting the parents for the first time”

Only Valdemar was told Jake beat his image but three primordials showing up to one place got their attention and both showed up to see what was going on.

You are as interested as always, Minaga,”

I kinda want Jake and Yggdrasil to get together when he becomes a god. She’s a total hoot! I feel like her and Villy are destined to bffs later hahaha

You are ss interested as always, Minaga,” Yggdrasil said, shaking her head. “Besides, I don’t have full confidence that at least one person from the Order’s delegation wouldn’t be able to escape.” You are as interested as always, Minaga,” Yggdrasil said, shaking her head. “Besides, I don’t have full confidence that at least one person from the Order’s delegation wouldn’t be able to escape.”

Got to be quicker than that

Was it only the holy mother and blight father who were informed Jake actually won?

Just a clone of Minaga. Many may be marked for death. I can’t wait to see if Jake decides to kill the Loadstone Matron from the church for trying to steal from him.

The gift villy gave Jake for Artemis is definitely some kind of aphrodisiac lmao

Love seeing Primordials and Primordial level beings treating Jake so politely or as if they are equals. Those who know the true limits of Villy's power are likely of the same mind as him. Just treat Jake as if he were already a God so as not be become hunted by him when he becomes one.

I'm actually looking this build-up and banter. Both Jake and Artemis are acting like middle schoolers with a crush that were both brought to the dance by their parents, now acting all shy. Adorable!

Oooooo I love the politics, can’t wait to see what happens next!

"none of you are qualified to do any less" I kinda like the tree.

Thank u for the story

Perhaps this visit won’t be a complete pleasure cruise for Jake. Foreshadowing a conflict from someone who can’t accept Jake being Jake.
Rick Delallata
I kinda expected him to just whip out the gifts for all three then realize it probably isn't appropriate to give Artemis her's in this setting
Shadowessence
Oh please please , let there be a being who evolved from a mushroom and happens to be the guy asked to show Jake around.....
fruit dragon
Just one?

I'm getting the feeling like a god is going to die in this arc

Fun dodging the ol arrogant gods scene trope.

“You are (as interesting)ss interested as always, Minaga,” Yggdrasil said, shaking her head.

“They shall be here shortly,” Yggdrasil spoke again as she finally decided to shift her consciousness to the dryad body she’d summoned to speak through (that). (Is the selected word needed?)
