NOVEL NEXT Chapter 125: 122
As the ritual has already begun the more magically inclined were forced to step forward. They began to use spells to analyze what was happening while Reed tried to do the same not trusting the concept of magic. The goddesses seemed off put by the presence of Raven as she was a demonic demigoddess; yet the fact that none of the heroes reacted caused them stay their hands.
Raven for her part seemed to gain some form of enlightenment watching the entire ordeal. Wonder Woman was a warrior and although experienced to a degree in magic wasn't a magic user and barely gleaned anything from the experience. Regular spell casters fell short of fully understanding what was truly going on as they lacked divinity. Dr Fate barely understood being a lord of order and technically falling into the category of a god but lacking the true understanding that a god naturally possessed. Nabu could see the forming divinity but lacked in understanding it, unable to determine the direction of growth.
In normal circumstances Nabu might have forced his agent to stop the ritual as this was far too chaotic. The reason why he hadn't was the universe itself returned him from non-existence forcing Nabu to stay his hand and await the results.
The ritual concluded shortly after it had started at first it seemed anticlimactic as it appeared that nothing had changed. It wasn't until they noticed the goddesses reaction to immediately depart returning to their pantheons. Then before they realized it the beautiful woman seemed to somehow become more perfect as her mortality seemed to sludge off her. A literal aura of darkness enveloped her destroying her clothes not that she seemed to care or notice. She walked directly to me wrapped her arms around me before we disappeared infront of everyone.
We reappeared in front of my home Cortona immediately opened the door for me and the now somehow clothed goddess. Although calling her outfit clothes was very generous as they barely covered anything not that I was complaining. As we were about to step inside a portal opened up behind us with the heroes that we left behind.
"That's convenient do you mind if I could use your portal to get my car back? It would seem that Selene forgot that we drove out there in the first place before bringing us back home"
I know that the car didn't mean much to the heroes so they were surprised that this was the first thing I mentioned. I guess they were expecting me to address the ascension or what my plans were after doing that,so the idea of me wanting to retrieve my car never crossed their minds. Although Beast Boy seemed to think it was funny as his laugh broke the tension which he quickly stifled when all eyes turned toward him. From the mansion my harem began to come out ready for a possible fight until they heard the laugh of Beast Boy. The tension which was hanging in the air seemed to be mostly gone it was still clear that they wanted an explanation.

Odin POV (Summit of the gods)
This was troubling news according to Amora Julian didn't just summon a goddess from another dimension but actually made one. There were ways of sealing off dimensions to prevent invasion but it never occurred to any of the gods that he could actually make one. There were no precedent for such a thing. The lords of order were powerful but they weren't true gods they lacked divinity. This factor doesn't seem very important but it made all the difference. Divinity was the insurmountable wall that separated the divine from mortals as it literally gave dominion over an aspect regardless of what it was. It was the defining characteristic that made a god, a god.
There were plenty of methods to manipulate various aspects but divinity was a supreme authority of said aspect. Now the sham of a god summit needed to be set aside as I need inspect this new goddess myself to determine what level of authority was given to this new goddess as even divinities weren't equal. Apollo could never equal Ra in authority over the sun even though both had similar domains.
