Sowhere completely unknown and not of this world, there was a completely pitch-black room with the exception of a dimly lit computer screen. Behind that computer was a blonde Kitsune, seemingly panicking over sothing.
"Sht, shit, shit!! This isn't ant to happen, their souls were not ant to rge yet! Fuck, he is going to be so mad." I frantically typed on my keyboard, trying to connect myself back to Shaman. Unfortunately, it was of no use as once she entered the soul domain, I lost all connection to her mind.
'I should have stopped her getting into that fucking cube, but here I thought the system would have done its job and declined entry.' Browsing through the settings of the system and the things Shaman had obtained over ti, there was a skill that stuck out to .
'Blessing of the fox, wasn't this from that bitch Akrone?' Reading through the description, nothing seed out of the ordinary until I saw that there was a hidden effect.
[If you are reading this, you must have lost connection to my dear Shaman, and they are doing sothing they shouldn't. Well, I'll tell you it is most likely that's stopping you teehee~. Have fun, my little Rea. Consider your betrayal paid back now. xoxo~ Akrone.] As soon as I finished reading the ssage, it disappeared from the system leaving no traces.
"YOU CAN'T BE FUCKING SERIOUS!!!" Slamming my fists onto the desk, I almost snapped it in half. I gritted my teeth, seething at Akrone for this disastrous system failure, trying to tell myself there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. I didn't have the authority to remove the blessing, not to ntion she pretty much forced it into the system, not exactly leaving room to negotiate.
"Can't she just keep her dumb kitsune ass in the seal and stop interfering with the experint? At this rate, Shaman's body will collapse from all the power... There has to be a way to stop her." It was frustrating that this entire thing could go to shit, but I needed to at least try before he appeared.
'How am I even ant to drag Shaman out? That soul realm is almost god-tier in complexity... How did this fucking Tyso even get his hands on one?' I couldn't directly interfere with the world as we are ant to stay hidden. If I were found doing such a thing I could be executed.
'If I can just get my hands on it, this whole thing would be over in a flash.' It would be simple to transport the soul realm into my hands, but due to the Shaman's soul being present inside, I couldn't risk it being damaged or separated from her physical body.
"What's going on, Rea?" My breath hitched as the sound of a male's voice echoed in my head.
"Ahh… Z-Zeus, it's you." I lowered my head, not daring to look up, hoping that he wouldn't question it further.
'Fuck, fuck, FUCK! Out of all tis, he appears now? At least give so ti to find a solution!' My heart raced, knowing Zeus would find out regardless of what was happening.
"Rea… What happened with Shaman, and why is there a soul realm in front of her?" Zeus turned his attention towards the cara that directly showed Shaman revealing the current situation. His voice developed a growing undertone of anger, seemingly ready to strike down at any mont.
"She is currently rging with this tiline's Shaman, which also ans she is inheriting the conduit you placed inside her before the transportation." Despite the severity of the situation, the room stayed silent for a few seconds.
"WHAT?! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY ALLOW SUCH A THING TO HAPPEN?"
*Crack* *BOOM*
Lightning struck right beside alongside Zeus' scream of anger, almost destroying my ears. My head rang while my vision started to contort, bringing to the verge of passing out.
"I-it was Akrone's fault, she tampered with the system by giving Shaman a blessing." Trying to explain myself proved useless since Zeus is a stubborn old man.
"AND YOU LET HER DO SUCH A THING?! SHE IS SEALED FOR A REASON, YOU DAMN FOOL. ARE YOU STILL CONSPIRING WITH HER EVEN AFTER BETRAYING YOUR OWN GOD?" His anger and voice grew in tandem, making it harder to stay conscious. His words were so loud in my head that it made it impossible to think of any way to get out of this situation.
"I-I'm sorry, I tried everything I could, but without interfering with the world, I can't fix it." I tried to reach for my desk as I spoke, but my hand missed just as I put all my weight on it. Falling out of my chair and hitting my head on the table, my head pulsed with pain eliciting a chuckle out of Zeus.
"Ha you incompetent bitch, do what you must without being found. If I return and she isn't separated from her other self, it will be you who pays the price. anwhile, I'll go pay a visit to Akrone and teach her a long-overdue lesson." Zeus, carrying a very heavy undertone of anger, tried to speak calmly, since there was still a chance for it to be fixed. Until then, I expected him to keep a very close eye on .
Without bothering with goodbyes, Zeus' presence left the room, allowing to get my bearings.

I was still lying on the floor with my eyes shut. My poor head wanted more rest, but being conscious of the ti, I needed to get up soon before Zeus ca back. Knowing how most talks go with Akrone, Zeus will get nowhere and return here to check on .
'After all this shit, I better be able to inherit Akrone's powers.' The only reason why I am complying in the first place was a promise from Zeus, which left questioning if it's even worth all the pain and suffering anymore.
'Arghh whatever, just get back to work.' Dragging myself up from the floor and onto my chair, I tried to think of ways I could interact with the cube. Tyso was keeping a close watch, making sure nothing would go wrong, but surely after so ti he would leave.
