As the two grand gods started moving with their angelic escort, another god ascended. The sight of which more than startled Kroft. His mind was filled with questions and rising suspicion. How come three gods ascended in quick succession? It is either a heck of a coincidence or a lot of gods died recently. Only something like that can create so much void in godly positions to be filled. After all, this is not the era of godly ascension that came immediately after the era of transcendents. Gods were ascending in bulk because it was the most feasible path forward after transcendence. The plane couldn't cater to transcendents anymore and the ancient battlefield was bloody with wars for opportunities. Becoming a god was a safer and easier alternative to growing stronger back then, so a lot of ascensions did take place.
