Chapter 1087 - "...Do we really need to bring that guy?”
🕑 Added 2025-03-04 12:15:58 +0000 UTCThe Order of the Malefic Viper hadn’t been the most diplomatic organization for a very long time. It mainly stuck to itself and had other factions come to it as its only method of communicating with others. No matter how much the Order declined, the Academy of the Malefic Viper remained a top-tier institution of the multiverse due to the Malefic Viper’s Legacy, maintaining many of the Order’s relations through high-level individuals who had been students there.
Now that the Order was done being a passive faction of the multiverse, it was also time to start being more diplomatic. It had already sent out a few ambassadors and diplomats to some of its closest allies, but there was no doubt the upcoming visit to the Pantheon of Life would be the most prominent official diplomatic mission in many eras. The Chosen of the Malefic Viper, as well as several high-tier individuals and even gods would go, making it quite the ordeal.
While a Chosen visiting was already a big deal in itself, the fact this was Jake in particular made it even more momentous. Not only was it his first time officially visiting another faction as a Chosen, but he was also a quite notorious figure in his own right.
Jake certainly didn’t fit the regular mold of a Chosen. Not only had he been involved with the war against Yip of Yore in quite a prominent role, but he was also the top scorer on the all-time Nevermore Leaderboards and known as the Harbinger of Primeval Origins. All of this coming together made him and this visit quite a big deal, as even if he wasn’t a Chosen, he would have been received as an honored guest.
That’s also why Jake wasn’t surprised by how many had shown up when he, Sylphie, and the Sword Saint went through a gateway leading them to the large courtyard where those who would be visiting the Pantheon of Life had gathered.
Around two hundred people would be going this time around, and that didn’t even count the gods. Right as Jake and his friends entered the courtyard, all attention was instantly on them as the nearest people – a group of B- and A-grade dragonkin - lowered their heads.
“We greet the Chosen of the Malefic One,” this first group spoke, their words making others aware Jake and company had arrived, making them act in kind as Jake spent the next half a minute just having people greet him. While it was a bit annoying, it did allow Jake to scan what kind of people would go.
Jake estimated that about a hundred of the people present were alchemists. They made it kind of easy to figure that out, considering they were all wearing similar robes identifying them as members of the Academy of the Malefic Viper.
The rest of them were obviously diplomats, with a few fighters mixed in here and there, but it was quite evident that most people didn’t expect to visit the hunting grounds controlled by the Pantheon of Life.
When it came to the power of the people present, it quickly became evident that the only C-grades were Jake, the Sword Saint, and Sylphie. The majority were B-grade, with a few dozen A-grades and just over a dozen S-grades. All in all, it was quite a showing, with Jake naturally being the main guest.
At least among the mortals... because the gods had yet to make their appearance. Jake guessed they had waited for Jake to arrive, as shortly after he was there, the aura of a god descended upon the courtyard. All of the mortals except for the C-grades and most of the S-grades instantly fell to their knees as a god manifested floating above them all.
It was a woman Jake didn’t recognize, but she clearly knew who he was as she made sure to make eye contact with him and nod in greeting before she spoke.
“Greetings, everyone. I’m Linea, a relatively new member of the Order, and I’ve been tasked with organizing this expedition to the Pantheon of Life,” she spoke. “I want to first of all clarify that I’m merely the organizer. The true leader of this expedition shall be the Chosen of the Malefic One...”
She motioned down to Jake, who nodded in acknowledgment.
“... as well as the Grand Elder of the Academy of the Malefic Viper and disciple of the Malefic One himself, Duskleaf,” she continued, Jake unable to hold back his surprise.
Duskleaf is actually leaving the Order? He asked himself, thinking for a moment he had heard wrong. Based on what Jake knew, the alchemist never went anywhere. He was the definition of a shut-in, so if he was really going... yeah, this expedition was definitely a big deal.
“The Grand Elder shall naturally follow us without revealing himself, something I’m sure quite a few of you mortals would appreciate,” the god called Linea said with a smile.
A few uncomfortable chuckles could be heard as Jake was once more reminded how mortals tended to kind of just keel over when in the presence of a powerful god. The god called Linea wasn’t that bad, and Jake estimated her to be just shy of a high-tier god, which, while powerful, wasn’t completely overwhelming to some of the stronger S-grades.
Jake did kind of question Duskleaf being hidden, though. His personal guess was that the alchemist just didn’t want to show himself because doing so would be a bother. As for why he wanted to go to the Pantheon of Life in the first place... well, there could be a myriad of reasons why an alchemist wished to visit the domain of a literal plant Primordial.
On the topic of how powerful Duskleaf actually was, Jake had to admit that the Grand Elder kind of felt weaker than the god floating in front of him. Yet, at the same time, Duskleaf also gave Jake a feeling there was more to him. Considering the Viper’s stance on progress and constantly getting stronger, Jake had to assume that Duskleaf was more powerful than he let on, seeing as the Viper still respected him and acknowledged him as his disciple.
“As for who shall escort you, I shall naturally be present, along with seven other deities, including the Grand Elder. We don’t expect anything to happen, and the journey shouldn’t take very long, but better safe than sorry,” Linea continued explaining.
From the looks on everyone’s faces, Jake had a strong feeling this entire speech was more for him and the two he was with than anyone else. Everyone else was positively ancient compared to the three of them, and they had definitely been through stuff like this before. The goddess was just being nice and explaining this to everyone thoroughly to not make Jake feel dumb for asking questions.
“Now, are there any questions, or is everyone ready to leave?” Linea asked as she scoured the room, naturally placing the most attention on Jake and company.
Which turned out to be a good idea... because Jake did have one burning question in his mind. One born from him having detected all the gods hidden in the surroundings after they arrived a few seconds ago, with one of them definitely having gotten close enough entirely on purpose to make sure Jake noticed him.
Raising his hand, Jake spoke. “Just one... do we really need to bring that guy?”
Jake asked as he pointed to a spot in empty air not far from Linea. Everyone followed his finger but didn’t see anything. Jake guessed only Linea knew what Jake was referring to, but before she even had a chance to answer, the guy in question spoke up.
“Hey! That’s, like, super rude. I’m here as a special contractor, having taken on a job I would normally never even consider!” the figure spoke as he revealed himself, looking quite annoyed and entirely ignoring that doing so would unleash his aura, smashing the remaining S-grades down on their knees as his presence washed over them.
A presence that didn’t simply reach the Godking level but slightly surpassed it. It was not at the level of the Lord Protector... but it was close.
“I wasn’t the one who hired you,” Jake shook his head. “And I get the feeling we’re in more danger with you around than without you.”
“Okay, you’re just getting ruder by the sentence,” the god said, crossing his arms and staring down at Jake with all four eyes. “I’ll definitely demand a bonus on account of long-term consequences to my mental health. Hazard pay does not cover this kind of treatment.”
“Getting any pay at all definitely means you outright scammed whoever hired you,” Jake said, shaking his head. He was only halfway joking... he didn’t seriously believe they would need that much protection. If they did, the Viper would have come himself. No, nine gods was definitely overkill for-
Wait... nine? Didn’t she say there were eight in total?
“I... this one greets the All-God Legion,” Linea bowed, Jake only realizing now what was going on. She didn’t know he was there... because he wasn’t meant to be there.
“Seriously?” Jake asked as he looked at Minaga. “You really snuck in here? That’s downright shameless.”
“I already told you I was hired on a special contract to-“
“Who hired you?”
“That’s entirely confidential, and I would never-“
“You hired yourself, didn’t you?” Jake sighed.
“What? No! Admittedly, the guy who hired me did look a lot like me, but we were definitely different clones... I mean people. Yep, definitely meant different but equally handsome people,” Minaga said, nodding confidently as everyone observing now knew exactly what was going on.
One thing that did surprise Jake a bit was that pretty much no one seemed surprised at seeing such a powerful god acting like that. Sure, there was some level of surprise, but not as much as there would be if it was some other god. Then again... assuming most of those present had gone to Nevermore, this likely wasn’t their first encounter with Minaga.
“If the All-God Legion wishes to join us, I don’t believe that would cause any issues,” Linea spoke, having regained her bearings.
She had likely also concluded that the mere fact Minaga was allowed to be present meant the Malefic Viper approved of it. There was no way Minaga could have snuck in without the Primordial knowing, so Jake also concluded that either Villy had known or he didn’t care.
As for why Minaga wanted to join their little expedition in the first place... Jake genuinely had no idea. Someone like Minaga could easily visit on his own without raising any issues. He was one of the few truly neutral gods of the multiverse, his only real affiliation with Nevermore. For him to suddenly arrive with an entourage from the Order of the Malefic Viper had to be seen as weird, right?
Not that Jake ultimately cared. If Minaga wanted to come, the only one capable of stopping him was Villy, and the snake god clearly wasn’t going to do that, so it appeared they would be stuck with the Unique Lifeform.
“Well, I would most certainly like to join,” Minaga said triumphantly. “Now, I do recognize that my presence is a bit unsettling to borderline everyone here, but fear not, I have a solution!”
Waving his hand, Minaga opened a small portal as out walked another Minaga. The newly arrived Minaga turned and spoke to the first one. “Hello, I would like to apply for the job of traveling alongside the Order of the Malefic Viper to visit the Pantheon of Life.”
“You’re hired, starting immediately!” the first Minaga said with a smile. “With that settled, if anyone has any questions, please don’t bother my newly hired proxy here. We’re quite similar in temper and would both be equally annoyed if bothered too much.”
With that, the god-tier Minaga disappeared, and the newly arrived one teleported down to Jake and company, emanating the aura of an S-grade.
“Pleased to meet you, I’m Minaga, and I look forward to working with you!” the Unique Lifeform said with a big smile as he reached out to shake Jake’s hand.
“You never get tired of that bit, huh?” Jake asked as he nevertheless reached out and shook Minaga’s hand.
“It’s been funny for dozens of eras, and it’s still absolutely hilarious,” Minaga said without any shame.
Jake didn’t even think it was worth arguing as he turned to Linea. “I think it’s about time we head off.”
“As the Chosen commands,” the goddess nodded. “Everyone, gather in the middle of the courtyard, and I shall bring us to the grand teleportation circle.”
They all did as asked, and once they were all gathered, the god activated her magic. Jake felt himself be teleported only for them to reappear, standing on an absolutely massive platform deep below the ground in an even more enormous cavern.
Jake barely had time to get a good look around before they teleported once more. This teleport was a bit different, though. Jake faintly detected the concept of the void along with the teleportation, and while they didn’t enter the void, they definitely skirted very close to it.
This teleport also took several seconds, seeing as they teleported an incredibly vast distance. Their target location was just outside the main territory controlled by Yggdrasil, as a giant anti-teleportation formation covered several galaxy clusters, not allowing them to head straight to the Primordial’s inner domain.
To be clear, the plan was never to head to the inner domain right away. They would instead fly through the cosmos, allowing several of the most powerful people within the Pantheon of Life to see them on the way. This was mainly aimed at the many guests and visitors of the Primordial faction to really show off that the Order was coming for an official visit.
As expected, they soon arrived at their destination on a small planet expressly set up to receive guests of the Pantheon of Life. There, the Order already had their mode of transportation prepared as Jake and everyone else boarded a massive ship that seemed to be made out of metal he didn’t recognize. Considering the markings on the side of the boat, it clearly belonged to the Order of the Malefic Viper, especially seeing as it even had a crew ready and waiting.
Jake couldn’t help himself as he scanned the ship from top to bottom. The entire thing was about half a kilometer in length and a hundred meters wide, with a height of around sixty meters. It wasn’t massive, not even by old-world standards. In some ways, it even reminded him of an enormous aircraft carrier, except it didn’t have runways or anything like that, but instead a few weapons topside along with a large bridge or command deck on one end.
Its insides were mostly just living space, though there were also several technical areas. One thing that also surprised Jake was that nowhere was spatially expanded in any way whatsoever. Jake could see everything from top to bottom without any interference. That wasn’t to say the ship didn’t have any defensive barriers because, hot damn, it had a lot going on that was way above Jake’s level.
“Welcome aboard, everyone,” Linea said once they were all there and had boarded the ship. “This vessel shall be our home until we arrive at the center of the Pantheon of Life. For those who are wondering, the ship is of Altmar design with staff trained by the Altmar Empire to properly operate it. It’s officially a god-tier vessel, and while an S-grade is capable of powering it, it works best when a god is at the helm. Navigating and powering the vessel will be my job during this time, so I may not be contactable. However, your only job – outside of the diplomats who already know their assignments - is to relax and maybe get a bit of alchemy done. Laboratories have already been prepared.”
Jake and everyone else was listening, and from how Sylphie and the Sword Saint looked around, they were impressed with the ship. Jake also looked forward to exploring it, as while the thing wasn’t big, it still had pretty spacious living quarters with private laboratories.
“Each of you will also be given a token that can be used to contact staff and make use of the different facilities aboard. This token will also function as your room keys to your quarters, all of which have already been assigned.”
Linea waved her hand as tokens appeared floating in front of them all. Jake reached out and took his right away, but just then, a figure appeared behind him again. The sole person present who hadn’t been given a token... because he wasn’t even meant to be there.
“So, here we are. Two buddies. Hey, seeing as I don’t have an assigned room, wanna be bunkmates?” Minaga asked as he grinned. “Come on, it’s gonna be so much fun! We can tell scary stories into the night, theorize dungeon design, try to do a bit of bug fixing, oh and I can tell you about this new kind of trap room I’m thinking about making. Imagine this: spikes shooting guns that shoot even more spikes! If I combine that with-“
Jake began to subtly zone out the Unique Lifeform as suddenly he felt this “short” journey would feel a lot longer than it actually was.

Minaga MVP!
Phil Ritter
For anyone who missed it like me at first we actually met Linea before. She formerly worked for Brimstone and was recruited by Snappy during the Nevermore sidestory
GeneralBlack
The distance between is unbleavible and dangerous for multiple bases.
Jonathan Campbell
I really feel for Jake now! Minaga is definitely one of the absolute worst types of traveling companions, unless you happen to be obsessed with the same interests, which Jake is very clearly NOT.
Carl Gherardi
Politics by distraction! All faux-pars of the expedition are overshadowed by Minaga.
Mattias
Seems odd with the teleportation…. The order had one in the middle, but when arriving they need a ship. Why not a ship the first distance when leaving the order?

I love Minaga!

Honestly I would love theory crafting a dungeon with Minaga. Tyftc
Kasey Lindenmayer
I love minaga so much 🤣😂
Michael Crawford
eh... i'm not sure how i feel about minaga coming along. I feel like he's gonna screw things up with Jake and Artemis, and I don't like that. Doesn't he have better things to do?
Biggy smalls
Maybe its something he uses very sparingly. Only when he wants to destroy an enemy/enemies.
Biggy smalls
Maybe. Don't see how he'd have escaped the notice of the primordials who wanted him dead all this time. Or how The other vampire gods couldn't see through his disguise. I think he's who we think he is. A bit of an alchemy hermit with a badass class that nobody save for Villy is aware of. Maybe the other primordials, and Oras, know as well.
Greg Meller
So glad i’m not the only one! Most of the main gods here are GOT characters in my mind
DirePants
I knew it was Minaga as soon as Jake saw him somehow. Minaga is my nicca tho 👊🏾😂
Corvid
Yeah @thomas my personal theory is that considering his link to the first sage, the same link that all 12 primordials have even if they don't remember, coupled with his "Primeval Origin" thing means he will eventually be another primordial type god. Cause what is the Origin of the gods? Primordials.
brjenness
I still like my duskleaf is sanguine theory.
James Evans
Where is the Sandy bus? I thought all long distance traveling would include Sandy. Sandy and minaga the dynamic duo? :-)
Biggy smalls
the way Jake currently uses his bloodline is he pulses to the outreaches of his current sphere. His sphere will be permanently active all the time so there wont be a need for pulsing. Maybe when he reaches godhood he'll pulse outside the range of his sphere but if he already sees everything inside of the universe he's currently occupying I think that'll be plenty. Nothings sneaking up on him at that point.
Psyck0
I imagine the pulses would be for other universes
Biggy smalls
Duskleaf not wanting anybody Save for Villy knowing about his true title tells be his true self is terrifying. It was even hinted at in a previous chapter that Snappy wasn't the only reason Part of Villys order survived most of existence without him.
Biggy smalls
He also is a unique lifeform. That's got to be lonely in and of itself.
Biggy smalls
I'd imagine at its peak Jake will be able to see the entirety of whatever Universe he happens to be in at the time. He won't have to do pulses either. The only reason he pulses is because he can't handle all the stimuli.
Biggy smalls
I Imagine it be truly impossible to graduate. Duskleaf has been doing Alchemy diligently for basically his entire existence, most of recorded time, and yet when Villy came back he asked Villy to do Alchemy with him and teach him things.
Henrik Nørgaard
I think Jake might set a speed record to godhood. But I'm sure it'll still be milenias before he gets there.
Henrik Nørgaard
My personal theory is that Duskleaf might actually be significantly more powerful than Snappy, but needs to use his "other" class/title to show it, and it's not something that he wants to happen.
Henrik Nørgaard
I don't think it's one sided, it's just that Jake and Minaga enjoy poking fun at each other, one of my best friends and I are like that, I love him like a brother but man do I bully him when I get the chance, and he does the same to me. And Minaga doesn't have anyone that's close to him and I'm pretty sure it gets lonely living forever and not even having a friend to talk to/have fun with.
Drew G
Out of the blue, but does anyone else see Eversmile looking like Lord Varys from GOT?
ABTelford
Yay! Our favorite blue chatterbox has returned! 🥳😂. Poor Jake. Lol!
Psyck0
NOT COCK BLOC MINAGA
Carl Never
Oh yeah even villy dosent know what that wierdo is up to. Im sure there a jake protection force inside that minaga dungeon on earth.
Michael Ferguson
Minaga invited himself and made himself Jake's roommate? I am starting to think Jake is going to have a hard time getting any. This should be fun.
Noname
The ship is big but it isn’t big compared to the multiverses standers
Noname
A lot of people stagnate and just decide to retire to a risk free life. Also sometimes there aren’t people good enough to teach them
Phil Ritter
I don’t think that would be a good idea. Minaga may be able to adjust his level to fit the party but with his knowledge and skills he would be too much of a cheat taking all the challenge Jake needs to develop away. In the end Jake needs a party of his own strength to progress if not alone
Phil Ritter
My guess is that he is pretty far beyond the level of a godking. Snappy said himself that Duskleaf was feared more than he himself. So either he is just a walking plague able to wipe out civilisations if you annoy him or he has some other scary alchemy related things up his sleeve. We can’t forget who his teacher is and apart from poisons he has probably most of Villys teachings under his belt with most being detrimental even to top factions
Phil Ritter
Minaga wholeheartedly agrees. Jake not so much
Phil Ritter
Considering they were able to jump to the pantheon so quick the only reason they would go slow is either showing off like it was described since a diplomatic mission isn’t of much use if no one knows about it or the Pantheon stopping any teleportation towards the Center of their faction
Phil Ritter
The friendship being so one sided makes it even funnier
Phil Ritter
Spending eternity alone sounds more like a curse even if you are overpowered and that may be one of the reasons he is so bonkers
Phil Ritter
I’m more and more getting the feeling that killing Jake is more dangerous because of Minaga and not Villy. Villy will stop after wiping out the lineage while Minaga will terrorise everyone for having lost someone so fun to annoy
Nathan Holliday
I’m sure Jake would just see it as training!
Phil Ritter
That makes me think. Minaga should now be able to enter the 93rd without much limitations since he has clones in all grades. Imagine the chaos if Minaga casually sends a million C-Grade clones to the Milky Way just for the giggles
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth
Phil Ritter
It’s mentioned that many graduated from the academy. That makes me wonder if there is an end since there aren’t really levels and just classes based on grades or if they are considered graduates once they leave.
Johnsmith
Maybe once he reaches godhood, I believe doing that while still mortal will melt his brain. He certainly had to learn to control his sphere when he reached C-grade to not be overwhelmed by it
Phil Ritter
That would mean his pulse would span the whole multiverse and I don’t think his bloodline is that broken. Tho there is a chance he could do that at the very end. The question is if or when his bloodline will reach full growth or if it will continuously evolve with him to the very end
Phil Ritter
Don’t think that hard about it. Minaga was bored and it’s always interesting with Jake around. There is also the chance he is annoying Jake as revenge for Nevermore and because it’s funny
Phasmatic7
Thankies
Saimon Vi
I feel a little sorry for Minagu. If you think about it he is very lonely. His kind doesn't like their own kind. He is a faction himself but he basically has no one else. No enemies, no friends. So he has a neutral relationship.
Saimon Vi
“And I get the feeling we’re in more danger with you around than without you.” 😂I think Villy is the one having the most fun watching this. I wonder if he made a bet with Minaga?
Sarianne
❤️🤣🤣🥰 Minaga
Saimon Vi
😂 😂 😂 , I missed these moments so much. It's been a while since there were any funny moments. The author hid his talent in the first books. Battles can be boring, but never this. I wonder why Minaga decided to join? I don't remember Jake telling him about the king's death. Maybe he wants to see his comrade unique life form return? Or learn more about his Bloodline? Any theories?
Psyck0
He'll be a hundred missed friends
Psyck0
Anyone else expecting jake at some point being able to give a pulse and tell the number of minagas that are out of a dungeon( his base clone cap)?

To be fair the sword saint might ask for more instruction as well

Jake will totally make Minaga summon a C-grade clone for himself, the sword saint, and silphy to spar. They have not had any good fights for so long that Jake will require it as compensation for having him tag along.
VioletSummit
Hell, he might be the first B and A grades he slays as well!
Drake
sylphie and minaga in contention for best characters
The Uub
It was lesser than Snappys
Lynderyn
He could potentially use the wing sacrifice to get back on the ship and the S grade minaga may not be able to get back onto the god tier ship without help
Lynderyn
Exactly, people are forgetting the king’s true soul is Jake’s mask or in Jake’s mask
Lynderyn
Or to feed eternal hunger
Lynderyn
Jake sensed 9 gods hidden, the 8 supposed to be there plus Minaga. I assume the heretic in him would have called out in Duskleaf wasn’t there
Trevor Mergen
Thanks!
D3monEmper0r
I can totally see sproutleaf going on a side quest to advance his sproutavatars with help of another fellow plant like Yggdrasil. Or even better Duskleaf is supposed to be there but he never left his lab and the organizer only thinks he's along for the journey...
Ty Cooper
Lol and the only one brave enough to talk shit to him also
Tristan
Lol
Lorenzo Campari
Villy most definitely has planned something with that bottle and Minaga
Thomas Grimshaw
I don't think he will lose the records however, if he is relying on those records too much then he won't make it to godhood. Once he reaches godhood he will have enough of his own records he won't need to leech of the viper any longer. He might even be the first god to be recognised as a primordial not from the first era. But that is a few million years off at this point I imagine.
Zuuuuuri
I’d like to think I speak for quite a few of us when I say I missed Minaga
Thomas Grimshaw
just need jake to remember that he needs to do something with the claw and get the fallen king back!
Thomas Grimshaw
that is certainly how I read it.
Nathan Holliday
Jake’s a C-grade so he just be floating out in space with no way to escape when Minaga followed him with his S-grade clone.
John A Lambeth
Minaga reminds me so very much of a dear friend who passed far too soon. Thank you, Zogarth, for this wonderful character and reminder.
Lawrence Dillon
Definitely im pretty sure miniga will actually be the first god jake hunts theyll probably make a game out of it. Ever smile and umbra might decide to play hide and seek with jake when he reaches S grade
Fyrtue
I just started a reread of this and to clarify your point, my understanding is that gods cannot hold another god's belssing due to how the system works. This does remove his chosen status in other cases, but I'm interested to see if his being a true heretic will have any impact there.
Nathan Holliday
I think Minaga will be the first S-grade Jake slays.
Lonnie
Minaga is just tagging along to see Jake and Artemis together. Plus shenanigans
Yeslek Nnamhctits
We love a good minaga chappie, honestly, love that guy. 😉
AetherBoye
Well in this chapter it says that Minaga clone had an aura that surpassed Godking level, and also that same aura was lesser than Duskleaf's. So I'd say he's handily beyond godking
PatienceHoney
Minaga!! Fun times ... well not for Jake, but we will get a laugh!
Grey Grick
He is so here for the drama!!
Clint
Meh. He’s S grade — he’d leech all the xp. Need a weaker clone.
Clint
Like Villy said, at some point it’s not just about a linear power scale. Snappy just up and eats you. You kill Duskleaf, only to realize it was just a clone, and then two eons later your entire faction dies out from some kind of bizarre self-propagating soul-damaging effect no one has ever heard of before.
Clint
I think it’s ceremonial as much as anything — so they can be seen. Diplomacy is full of stuff like that.
khielira
Umm... are we sure it's actually Duskleaf who's going and not his clone Sproutleaf going. Because I can totally see Duskleaf sending out his clone since he has better things to do. That and I can see everyone being shock by how Sylphie and the Sword Saint treat Minaga.
TwoMoreYears
A friendship that is destined to last for eras.
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! I’m surprised that traveling with Gods involves this much actual travel time. I understand the idea of protections around a faction’s territory, but I’ve you’re cleared through that it seems I’ve should be able to instantaneously jump again.
Cody
If the boundless hydra even respects his lethality, he has to be levels above godking.
Danny
Yeah for sure :D A quick stab or 1 maby 10 arows 😂
Borbino the great
That’s why he made it at the peak of mortality😂 I could see Jake still trying to fight him

Oh boy am I glad Minaga is back! This arc is going to be hilarious.
SnowReason
Jake doesn't really wanna fuck with Eversmile so he never really points him out when noticed.
John Looney
Minage is the PHD certified professor and he teaches classes to other minage just to stay fresh in the field
Rob Beckwith
I also think that he could be in the same position as other 'rulers'. His emperor status may have a lot of his power bound up in that aspect of his records. And if his civilization is gone, that could be an ongoing handicap.
C0bra$
Thank u for the story
Daniel Hamilton
I’m sure it’s a massive jump in records especially for Villy as the sooner you make a chosen the more risk it is but the rewards are far greater in the long run
Daniel Hamilton
Despite their banter, I feel that all God legion has a lot to teach Jake.
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter 😁
Danny
Hahaha I woud bett if minage woud be a C or B grade clone he woud be dead befor they arive at the Pantheon. Nice one !

I enjoy him so much.

Man we all know don't fuck with duskleaf he looks like a nerdy God but I bet he would bring a chemical weapon to a fist fight

How close is duskleaf to godking?
Dan
Jake flexing on everyone there by being the only one to notice Minaga
Loststar7
TFTC looking forward to more Minaga shenanigans 😂
Jordan Rogers
Personally Jake’s core team is missing a rather unique core member, minaga could fill that role. We could have him all missions from now on. Jake would definitely hunt them all down once he reached god hood though….
Jordan Rogers
It kinda feels like even as a low tier god they are probably a lot closer to the inner circle to begin with in most pantheons, the larger ones probably only if they are the chosen of the head of the pantheon or its core members?
Ty Cooper
Tftc! Ha need Duskleaf was coming and kinda figured Minaga. Lol little did I know we would get two Minagas, one god and one lowly mortal. You know Jake actually loves all his interactions with Minaga. Probably to watch all the horrified observers go pail and almost fall over in shock.
Lawrence Dillon
I truly think minaga loves jake because hes the only mortal daring enough to talk back to him with a status that allows it jake is the perfect matcher of energy
The Uub
Called it with predicting the Celestial. Having the All God Legion along is fun too.

Thanks for the chapter.

Villy offhand mentioned that becoming a god would mean he isn't his chosen at that point, but a god who would join the pantheon. I think the general gist is that by the time you become a god as a chosen of a primordial, you'll be noteworthy by your own name and not your patron anymore. Especially considering how rare godhood really is. Being a former chosen would just be one of your many accolades.

Zog's definitely been playing pirate yakuza
Corvid
His attacks inflict pure emotional damage

Tyftc fuckin love these chapter with Minaga
Esch
Minaga spin off series when?
Sharibri
Huh, I didn’t expect Linea from the side stories to show up.
HailingMist
God I can see how Minaga could be annoying but I love everything about him haha
Clint
The fact that he spotted him, when the goddess didn’t was already an epic flex.
Clint
Minaga was a pleasant surprise for me. My first thought was Eversmile.
Clint
Jake and SS and Minaga and Duskleaf on a space pirate adventure! Sylphie needs to start riding on Jake’s shoulder instead of his head. And maybe Bobo could be Dina’s peg leg.

Poor Minaga! Jake just isn't a proper conversationalist for him. For retaliation, I can bet that the 94th era Colosseum of Mortals will have a Jack von Doomfoot, who suspiciously looks a lot like Jake but with a silly mustache. Surprisingly, this Jack von Doomfoot can only use his smelly feet as weapons, the stench alone able to overcome some of the weaker fighters... Edit: Jack von Doomfoot's Warcry: "You underestimate the POWER of my foot fungus!"

As soon as Jake said that guy, I knew it was either gonna be Mininga or Villy just trolling the order. Glad it's Mininga. Wonder if he has insights into the Kings Mask.
Djinko
Minaga the best character ever !
Simon
Pretty sure that records wise this is a good thing and it's not like people forget that they were a chosen
Andy Swearingen
Oh! I see the potential for finding out about that while Dusk Emperor business!
Cory Sauls
Oh this is going to be a fun set of chapters this week. MINAGA!
Daniel Smith
The instant I read the title I knew
Colton Horton
I'm imagining a room full of gods looking on in horror as Jake casually insults Minaga like an actual friend, their faces going pale and thinking "Holy s****! This guy is insane!" Lmao
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

Something I have been wondering is what happens when the chosen of a Primordial reaches apotheosis? Does the fame and recognition just suddenly disappear as now they are just another god among millions or do they keep the status as recognition that they where a chosen until their mortality ended?
Straat Junon
Tyfc. Glad to see minaga here
Staudi
Finally minaga is back! Im so hyped! Tyftc Zog!
Straat Junon
That's the entire series.
Xander Cadence
Just love reading this story. Thanks for the chapter
Mac
While I love Minaga, he is best experienced in moderation. If I had to be his roommate on a ship I would throw myself overboard just so I could enjoy the silence that comes with death.

So, the "leaders" of this diplomatic mission are Jake, who hates complex shit and is as diplomatic as a brick, and Duskleaf, who hates leaving his laboratory. And Minaga is here. Surely this mission can only go well. Or we'll see if a god can have a heart attack.
Brandon Yarberry
I did not expect this, and yet I am unsurprised. Welcome back, again, Minaga.

At this point I am of the belief Minaga is for Zogarth to have fun with people.
