At the location he was at in space, Murrihm could smell a peculiar odor from the Ouroboros Serpents that reminded him of rusted metal, thinking a little deeper, he resolved that the smell was closer to blood.
His Divine Spark all the way in his Divine Kingdom shook, he could feel a dread from the core of his being from every movement made by these monsters, and he watched one of the… snakes? Or were they dragons? What sort of beasts were these? More Infernal than Divine, were these Demons? Am I looking at an acclaimed Demon Prince?'
The Serpent which had a single eye that was so large it covered the central part of its head and was entirely milky white as if it was blind, yet there was nothing of such weakness in these creatures, looked around suspiciously as if it had caught a scent.
Murrihm felt his heart slowly fill with despair as if like a hound catching an interesting fragrance.
The beast turned slowly and looked at him, noticing him truly, with the camouflage doing nothing to hide from its gaze, their eyes met for a brief moment and the Ouroboros Serpent grinned.
As horror flooded his heart, the Serpent suddenly charged at him with speed exceeding his expectations, he could hardly move as the needle-sharp teeth in their hundreds tore through his Divine Body even with his partly ethereal nature.
The beast tore him away from the shadows of the void, accompanied by pain as he had never felt before as a dreadful kind of venom flooded his system before the 'Mortal' ahead froze him in place.
In his mind, Murrihm was already calling this figure a Demon Prince, as all the evidence seemed to fit that pattern.
Whatever the method used to freeze him, it was also killing him, but it was doing it more slowly than the poisons in the fangs of that dreadful beast, and in some way, Rowan's black ice delayed the death of the god, but that was not a mercy, it only prolonged his suffering.

All these thoughts rang through the head of Murrihm, The Star Gazer as he looked with despair behind him as his Divine Palace was crumbling. His appearance had always been young, like a fourteen-year-old boy with short and curly blond hair.
He had always been carefree, ignoring conflicts and seeking a simple life, his talents ensured he was useful but not necessary, keeping him safe from those with greedy intentions.
Murrihm did not want to die, he was still so young, and many of his children were still out in the cosmos, if not him, who would gather them all and give them their names?
In fact, most of the gods of the Cerulean Galaxy had roots that descended from the Sacred Beast that had been worshiped for countless years and later gave birth to Divinity after countless years of worship.
Many of their gods stayed at the Earth god stage for an extremely long amount of time, before perishing due to their souls collapsing after enduring countless years, or perishing to war or other maladies that assailed beings of this level, only the very lucky few ascend to the Throne of the gods, gaining an Immortal Soul and living forever.
The regal voice of Shario The Scourge sounded out, "You summoned us into your Divine Kingdom Murrihm, does whatever troubles you be so great that you would open your privates for your neighbors to help you scratch your balls? If so, open wide, I always wanted to play with them!"
Murrihm, The Star Gazer laughed aloud, ignoring her infamous biting words, as he cried out, "Quick, you got to…"
Suddenly he felt his perspective change, his vision spinning in circles, and then it suddenly steadied, he was confused as he saw his body a few feet away standing without his head, he rolled his eyes upwards and saw his hair was being held by the monster inside that Palace.
This monster looked down at his head and grinned, with his other hand he brought a single bloody finger to his lips and said, "Shush!"
