Chen cursed himself for coming to Amane's rescue without proper preparation. But he had not expected her to be in such a challenging situation.
It was difficult to turn his head back, but he quickly ran out to get sothing to help. Teressa followed him with her blank-looking face and dangerous aura.
Chen barely dodged Teressa's attacks, which was after Amane held him back in the first place.
Teressa did not look happy, and she changed her targets. There was a system that indicated where Teressa needed to attack. And Amane took advantage of it by distracting Teressa.
"Sorry, but leave the kid alone for now. I need you to concentrate on and play with ."
Amane had sweat dribbling down her face as she faced another goddess. This one had her authority, and the pressure made Amane faint.
Teressa raised her hand, and the pressure increased. It slled down on Amane and knocked her off her feet. A giant spear launched itself toward Amane, but she got out of the way.
The floor she had been standing on was not as lucky as she had been.
"And here I thought you wanted to return with you intact. Are you trying to kill ?"
Amane asked while looking straight at Teressa. There was no ti to pay to the spear that had disappeared and reappeared inside Teressa's hand.
The impassive face finally had a grin, and those blank eyes also looked lively.
"Capturing you alive would be the best, but knocking you out and bringing you back will not be a bad idea either. I will do what it takes to win, and you should do the sa."
Teressa's voice sounded light, indicating she was sowhat in control of her emotions.
This also indicated that she had given up the possession of her body willingly to The Law.
"You…were a traitor? I should have guessed. I never heard your na in the rebellion or among those who opposed how things were in heaven. Did you infiltrate our ranks so that you could be a spy?"
Amane asked while parrying the chains, trying to pin her down. These chains were fast, and many successfully knocked Amane off her feet before she regained her balance.
"Spy? Of course not. I genuinely believed we could take down The Law when I joined more than ten thousand years ago. However, the more I fought against its power, the more I realised how omnipotent it is."
"Kori wants to fight against this massive power? It's impossible. We would be fortunate even to be alive after everything ends. I have no intention of dying, so I will do what I can to survive."
Teressa sounded bitter about the fact that she was powerless in front of The Law. Most gods had huge pride and could not take anything that beca an obstacle to them.
But even then, most would have folded if they were against The Law. Its power was too potent and enticing for any god to face.
"Are you going to resist more? I know that you have the power to oppose , but what about everyone else? Do you think they could also go against this power and win?"
Teressa threatened, and Amane knew that she had lost. Her first step toward this loss was her care for her people.

She still had Sakura's body here, and Kagura needed to return ho. In such a situation, Teressa couldn't hold herself back and not make the decision she was about to.
"Fine, I agree to go with you. But I need proof that nothing would happen to my people."
Amane asked for the promise, and Teressa looked more than satisfied to give it. She did not have beef with the humans; hurting them was also against the law.
"You have my promise. I will bet my magic, as well as my godhood, on this promise. Does this satisfy you?"
Teressa asked while holding her hand out. She had made a vow of the gods. She would be stripped of all her power if she broke this vow. That vow made Amane feel better, and she knew that she had signed her life away now.
She felt her body getting lighter as bonding magic flew through her body. Her eyes closed, and Amane was asleep before she knew it.
Teressa's eyes went blank once more as the heavenly magic overtook her senses. This magic would help her return ho and reach the upper heavens.
She had never been there, but she was excited to be accepted in a society that was the pinnacle of power.
"Amane, I am back. What do I-"
Chen had the worst timing. He slamd the door open as Teressa secured Amane in her magical binds. Amane was already unconscious, and Chen threw himself toward Teressa.
Teressa was about to use her magic on Chen when she rembered the vow she had just made. It made her incapable of harming any human Amane knew.
'Dark it. This vow is being such a pain in the ass right now. What do I do now?'
Teressa had few options. So, she decided to take the best one available and complete her mission. The law would save her once he realised how useful Teressa was to his plan.
Until then, she would be stuck between people she had betrayed.
Amane's body disappeared and soon appeared on the coordination specified in Teressa's magic. It had been given to her by the vessel, so even she did not know where it would take her.
"You-! Where did you take her?"
The last thing Teressa saw was the nuzzle of the huge container before her consciousness faded. She did realise that it was a sleeping drug ant for humans that had been used on her, and it affected her human half.
'Darn it. This is why I hate human bodies. They are such a nuisance, and I do not like them.'
It was a sha that Teressa had to play the part of a human here. Otherwise, she would have shown these people just how powerful she was.
......
[After all this ti, she is coming ho. Do you feel excited to see your sister again, Krata? Or do you resent her for leaving you like this?]
The child asked from its throne while looking toward the guard behind it. This vessel had lasted a lot longer than The Law had expected.
It had looked like such a weak child when it had first seen Krata, but there had been potential. Still, The Law want to avoid taking Krata as the vessel. But it had been tricked into it.
And then Amane had found a way to run away from The Law twice.
But now the chase was finally over. After all this ti of manipulating this to go accordingly, he finally had his perfect vessel back.
[Krata, we need to prepare. Your sister and my new vessel will be back soon. We need to hold a gathering to receive her and to grant her a new divine body. This disgusting human shell shall be of no use.]
It was a sha that this human shell would be destroyed. The other soul that occupied this body would be given divinity as well, and they would beco a minor goddess.
It was the highest honour, soone not a born god could ever achieve, and The Law was willing to give it to the body that housed his vessel.
"You look in a good mood today, my lord. Is there anything I can do to help you out?"
The other gods who attended the eting did not know why The Law looked happy. But they could guess that it was because sothing amusing happened.
They did not understand this deity, but they did know that it was dangerous for this entity to be happy. It likely ant that soone was going to die or be ruined.
[The court session shall be put on hold, and we shall organise a banquet. An important guest shall arrive soon,, and I want you all to prepare for their arrival.]
Everyone looked stunned to hear these words. This was the first ti sothing like this had happened inside the high heavens.
The law was their highest authority, and no one else could co close to them in terms of power. So, the other gods felt uneasy when they heard about the guest.
'Just who could be influential and powerful enough to make 'The Law' speak these words? From now on, we need to be careful not to make this 'guest' angry.'
'I wonder if I can use our guest to my advantage. Maybe I can push forward to beco a vessel of my lord? He would surely listen to soone whom he respects, right?'
The gods surrounding the high table were planning on using Amane already. They had various plans and ways to exploit her, and they all wanted to use her as an advantage.
Even the law could see what was happening in these gods' minds. But he did not do anything about it now.
If these fools thought that they could use Amane or if they would even get to see her before the ceremony, then they were wrong. They needed to be knocked down again, and The Law would do it as soon as it ford its new vessel.
[Go and rejoice today. Soon, it will begin a new era for us all. We shall rejoice for the change and embrace it since this change will affect us all very soon]
