What Light did not know was, as soon as he had gotten the skill from trait maker, especially the skill anomaly, it had started passively bringing about changes, which if left unchecked would bring about huge changes in the world at large.
The first to sense this change was none other than the God King sitting on his throne below the guild in Orario.
...
In a huge room below the guild known as the Room of Prayer, a god with white hair and blue eyes, waring a white robe with a black hooded cloak over it and a pair of sandals sat on the throne in the middle of the room.
Ouranos was as usual praying to the dungeon, using his divinity to keep the monsters from the dungeon suppressed so that they do not act up, when he felt the effect of his divinity suddenly start weakening, a matter which immediately alarmed him.
Because the effect of his divinity weakening meant only one thing, 'the promised time' was near.
'Ah Zeus, something intangible is effecting the dungeon, making "the promised time" come earlier than what your plan stated, the black dragon still flies free. Now my old friend, what will you do?'
The white haired god tried finding the influencing factor but was not able to find anything, not even anything remote.
...
A small village somewhere outside of Orario, in a small wooden hut, a old man with grey hair and yellow eyes, was looking at the boy with white hair sleeping on the bed with a smile.
He had just finished re-reading the story of the hero Albert Waldstein and had put his grandson to sleep.
Just as he closed the door to his grandson's room, he felt a divine intuition, something with his plan, which he had worked upon for a long time had gone wrong.
Peeking through the door and confirming that the little boy was indeed asleep, he sat down on a chair in the living room, his eyes lighting up, his yellow irises now almost blinding to look at.
After using his divinity to look about, he also easily found that strangely 'the promised time' which was still a bit far away was suddenly nearing.
'Alas, even the plans of gods cannot keep up with time, well nothing else can be done' sighing once he immediately used his arcanum to influence both fate and destiny to bring things to normal.
...
In south-western Orario, a two story house, a bedroom on the second floor.
Light was still sleeping peacefully without knowing the changes being caused by his skill.
The system screen automatically popped up in front of him.

...
The Room of Prayer.
Ouranos felt Zeus using his arcanum to influence fate and destiny, but did not do anything to stop, after all it was true that arcanum was not to be used on the Gekai, but it was also true that the current Orario was not strong enough to withstand 'the promised time', so turning a blind eye to Zeus's actions was the best for both of them.
But he was once again surprised or even shocked, this time the influence returned with even more strength almost overpowering Zeus efforts, after all it is not everyday that you see someone or something overpowering a God King, even if the majority of his arcanum is sealed.
So for the first time in a 1000 years, Ouranos stopped suppressing the dungeon, and started supporting Zeus using his arcanum.
...
This night of Orario was destined to be a tumultuous one for the gods, for they had felt something intangible shift or change once Zeus had tried to influence the trajectory of the world AKA the destiny of the world.
They were already feeling jittery, but that was only the beginning, because for the first time since they had come down to Gekai, they felt the very air in the city feel more heavier, making them realize that God suppressing the dungeon, Ouranos, was up to something unusual and they felt the dungeon, without the suppression from Ouranos, which sent shivers up the spines of many gods/ goddesses.
The influence of these series of actions were also felt by the adventurers who were in the dungeon, the monsters they normally used to fight were now stronger and the numbers were higher.
It was good that it is was night now, meaning most of the adventurers were not in the dungeon and those who were in were parties who had already prepared to stay the night.
...
Somewhere on the opposite side of Orario across the world, a small village near a small lake.
In the courtyard of a three story wooden building, another white haired old man was lying on a lounge chair, a scar on one eye, wearing a T-shirt and short.
'Bastards, the both of them, they left me out again, in Tenkai I had to stand guard against Freya, and when I came down to Gekai, those damn bastards had already cooked up some plans, say what you will, I also want to join this time.'
The person or god cursing into empty air was none other than the last of the three God Kings, Odin.
He too used his arcanum and joined the fray trying to help the two other God Kings in his own way, after all no matter what differences were there between them or he was angry against them, this was about 'the promised time' in which even a small mistake meant putting the lives of hundreds of millions of mortals in danger.
And he made another note in his list of helping the other two bastards, so that when they met, he can take back the favor along with interest.
...
South-west Orario, Light's bedroom.
The system screen was still flashing with silent notifications.

...
Zeus, still sitting on the chair let out a long sigh, for the first time in many years he felt like it was so close, he was almost overturned at the beginning itself, if not for Ouranos's help it would indeed be difficult for him alone, and Odin's help was indeed a surprise for him, at least a good one.
He had felt a sudden sense of dread, but for only a moment, but now everything was fine, at least 'the promised time' and the trajectory of this world's destiny was back on track.
But Zeus had decided to contact Hermes and to let him know about any changes happening outside and if he can find the source of the sudden change.
...
Feeling everything go back to as it was, Ouranos too used his arcanum to once again suppress the dungeon, bringing relief to the adventurers down below in the dungeon.
He then immediately called Fels, asking them to inform the guild to send messengers to all big familia's that there was no need to worry about anything and to be careful if they were thinking of going to the deeper floors of the dungeon for the next few days as he had no idea if the dungeon would try anything due to him moving his arcanum and stop suppressing the dungeon.
...
Zeus thought that everything was back to normal and 'the promised time' would not be coming till a few years, but what he did not know was there was already a small shift in the destiny of this world due to the power of the root, all that was need was a little push a strong enough, and this time the gears of destiny would move so fast that no one to control it and it would weave an even grander story than any ever told.
