In a vast and empty darkness,
"That was a drakel champion! This really is my world!"
Lord God Lu Yi was currently sticking her head on the screen. A very excited expression can be seen on her face, it was as if she beca a child.
"Aha, I see your world is as weird as you, friend. So many unusual things", Demon God Xanthus had his hand on his chin as he mocked Lu Yi's excited deanor. It was not everyday that you see the Lord God being exuberant, like a little child.
"Tch. If only your brain was as big as your horns, then maybe thou can comprehend the intricacies and advances of my world. But alas, thine brain is like that of a monkey's, only able to use sticks and stones"
"W-what's that!? You want to fight!?"
"Bring it!"
Lu Yi then jumped back and readied her fighting stance, probing Xanthus to do the sa.
The two circled around each other as they release slurs and insults.
"You two really are not getting bored of each other. It is quite a delight to see, if I may say so", the Judge of Karma, or rather Jack, could not help but sigh as he watched the two once again bicker with one another.
Jack then stared at the screen in front, "But truly, this is unusual"
"Hah! Even Jack agrees!"
"W-what!? Judge of Karma, forgive my insolence, but you are on this imbecile's side!?"
Xanthus had a smug smirk on his face as he gained a little victory against Lu Yi. However, both Lu Yi and Xanthus could not help but put up a serious expression while listening to Jack's explanation.
"No. I ant the portal. My knowledge might be failing , but I am certain that the distance between your world and Xanthus' are centillions away. Teleportation should be impossible, even more so a wide range portal like this one. This is, if I may say so, truly unusual."
"'Tis indeed. I do believe my world also does not have the technology to do so. Even if it has been a while since I last visited it when I was still living", Lu Yi placed her hand on her chin. She knows the technology of her world, and a wide-range teleportation device capable of two-way transportation? Even for her world, that was science fiction.
"Do you know of a world that is capable of this wide-range teleportation you guys speak of, Jack?", Xanthus who was still lost about all this talk of technology can't help but ask, in order to join in on the conversation.
Jack closed his eyes, completely deliberating what Xanthus has said. He tried to carefully scour his boundless mories. But no matter how much he tried, there was none. There was, however, sothing that stood out from his very recent mory.
"Rember the hand that reached out for the boy?"
"Definitely, that hand looked very ominous. Still gives the creeps until now", Xanthus shook his whole body as if he touched sothing disgusting.
"Hand? What hand are you two speaking of?", Lu Yi was at a lost.
"Right, you were knocked out when it happened", Xanthus rembered the terrible event. Lu Yi's whole existence was about to crumble due to Viel's excessive use of power. But then
"He used a new skill, not belonging to the three of us"
Xanthus then recounted what happened to Lu Yi. About Viel using a skill from a soul nad Rain, and about the mysterious hand that ca from a crack in space.
"Rain? Who is that?", this was also the first ti Lu Yi was hearing the na.
"We do not know yet. Jack tried searching around, but as usual, he couldn't find anything, or for that matter, anyone"
"Hmm. Then are you saying this portal was made by the owner of this mysterious hand?", Lu Yi asked.
"It is similar, but not quite", Jack shook his head, "One thing I do know of Mr. Voice, the hand, and now these portals. They all have the sa feeling"
"And what feeling is that?"
"That they do not exist in our universe"
Hearing this, Lu Yi's eyes turned wide, "Are you suggesting a different universe? But that's"
"Impossible, I know. That I am certain of, at least until now. The boy truly is surrounded with nothing but mysteries.", Jack looked at the screen, no longer saying anything.
Lu Yi breathed heavily. Rain, the hand, the portals. It just keeps adding up. A mystery on top of another, and they were a witness to it. And there really was only one thing they could do
"Baby Viel, whatever happens, whatever path you choose we're here for you"
Lu Yi looked on to the horizon that appeared on the screen. Truly, Viel's adventure has not even started yet.

"Uhm guys, what's a unibeers?"

"Eeek!"
Xianying backed away as Xing Cai placed the drakel champion's carcass in front of her.
"I assu the materials from this beast is mine?", Xing Cai said as she stretched her arms and wiped the drakel's blood from her face, "Its claws would be perfect as a blade."
"W-what? Y-yes, Master! All the rights belong to you!", Xianying stuttered as she looked at the golden carcass. This was her first ti seeing a drakel champion up close, not to ntion a freshly dead one. It truly did look different than the ones from their local museum.
Xing Cai nodded, a bit of excitent can be seen in her eyes. The drakel would surely make a fine addition to her arsenal and boost her status as an elder of the Golden Pavilion. But then she shook her head as she realized sothing- this was not the ti to be thinking of herself.
Xing Cai looked at the still remaining hundreds of thousands of drakels. As soon as she defeated the drakel champion, the flying drakels imdiately sward the nest and surrounded it. Not even a needle can pass through the enclosure that they have made. They have now completely confined and guarded the queen's nest.
"With the drakel champion, I am afraid the queen will lay more of its children faster than we can kill it due to being threatened", Xianying agonized as she looked at the drakels through her binoculars, "It will take a week before the particle-beam cannon to arrive, by then the number of drakels would have doubled. Damn it!"
"It lays children by the second? How is it even capable of managing that feat?", Xing Cai tried to recall the image of the Drakel Queen, it was big. But to be able to give birth every second? What kind of nonsense is that?
"I am afraid you have to ask the scientists for that, Master Xing Cai. My knowledge on biology is limited to the foods I eat", Xianying slightly chuckled.
As the two won were conversing, a heavy sigh could be heard coming from behind them, "Pfft. How would you pair of oldies even know if you have not even lay children until now? Ha you wasted your youth."
"..W-what did you say?", Xing Cai's eye twitched. Once again, Viel found a way to call her old. Her, the beauty of the Golden Pavilion.
"W-why am I included, Lord Viel!? I am still youn-", Xianying was about to rebute, but she gulped when she saw what Viel was currently up to.
He was currently poking holes on the golden drakel's carapace using his index finger. And he had a bored expression on his face as well while doing it, it was as if he was just wasting ti making holes on thin wood. She also heard Viel being amazed with how hard the carapace is. Xianying felt her sanity going down a few levels.
Viel sighed again and shook his head as he stood up, "If it was Grandma Ling, I am sure she would have lay a thousand children per second. Truly, you guys have wasted your youth, and now it has passed, with nothing to show for", said Viel as he looked on to the horizon.
"Y-you're really pushing it too far this ti, Viel!", Xing Cai approached the oblivious Viel and lightly hit him on the head. "And won don't lay children! They give birth!"
When Viel heard Xing Cai's last words, his head shook uncontrollably as he slowly looked at Xing Cai, his eyes wide in shock. "W-w-what!? B-but Grandpa Ling told won have"
"Forget about what your Grandpa Ling said! He is not always right!", Xing Cai hollered. As a matter of fact, almost everything that Grandpa Ling have taught Viel was nonsense. But Xing Cai was not that cold to insult the man who took care of Viel.
"Tch, you just don't know the genius of Grandpa Ling"
Or maybe she should have.
Xing Cai closed her eyes and breathed heavily. Talking to Viel was more tiring than fighting the golden drakel.
"You oldies should rest, let handle these ugly creatures"
Viel then suddenly raised his hand.
And then, it was as if the heavens opened up, a ray of light fell from above, almost spanning a kiloter in diater.
Everything it touched seed to disintegrate. Either crumbling to dust or lting. But for so reason, the heat it produced made Xianying feel relaxed, completely opposite of what the effects she was currently seeing. It lasted for only a few seconds, but its effects were undeniable. It shaped the very field in front of them.
The drakel nest and the hundreds of thousands of drakels were nowhere to find, all that was left was a circular concave dug deep in the ground.
"T-that was amazing Lord Viel!", Xianying was now completely a believer. Viel really is a god, she thought.
"Eehh", Viel, however, has as conflicted expression on his face.
Xing Cai was looking at the sky, her legs shaking.
"W-what's going on, Master?? Lord Viel?"
"That wasn't ", Viel scratched his chin as he slightly chuckled. He truly did not cast a skill, for before he can even do so, the ray of light suddenly appeared.
As soon as Viel finished his words, she summoned her shield and put up her stance. She was biting her lips as she looked at the skies above, her knees shaking. "Lieutenant, ready the flying box and get ready to run!"
"W-why!? C-can anyone tell what's going o-", before Xianying can finish her words, the reason for Xing Cai's worried state showed itself, or rather, themselves.
Three n wearing white robes were floating in the sky. The trio had wings on their back, seemingly made of light, as one could be blinded for staring at it for too long.
Xianying was speechless. She was frozen stiff by the presence of the newcors. However, she was easily awakened from her stupor by Xing Cai's shout.
"What are you waiting for!? Start the damn flying box!"
"A-at once!"
But before she could do so, the three n suddenly appeared in front of them.
Xing Cai's whole body shook. She tried her best to remain standing, using her shield as support. It was getting harder for her to breathe as the pressure from the three n crawled throughout her body. She knew that she was no match against even one of them and her whole body seed to agree with her.
And then, one of them spoke.
"Senior, are you sure this little runt is the Lord God?"
"Silence! I would not have you disrespect the Lord God! There is no mistake, he was the one who used the Lord God's skill earlier.", the oldest one of the three scolded. And after doing so, kneeled down.
"Tch.."
One of the winged n was reluctant as he clicked his tongue, but still, he too bent the knee. Followed by the remaining one at the back.
"Lord God, your servants greet you!", then all of them shouted at the sa ti as they bowed their heads.
"W-what!?", Xing Cai then looked at the direction they were bowing to, Viel.
Xianying was at a loss as to what to do, unlike Xing Cai, who can feel the strength of the three n, she was oblivious to it. Right now, she did not know whether she should start the car or not.
But then, she saw Viel looking at her, his eyes wide in shock and his face shaking.
"M-miss Xianying y-you you are god!? Nono, please forgive for my transgressions", Viel said as he bowed multiple tis towards Xianying. Sweat started to appear on his face. He rembered teasing Xianying, no, God Xianying about her boobies.
"W-what!? N-no! They are looking at you!"
"Eh!?", Viel then turned his head towards the three winged n.
"Congratulations on successfully reincarnating, Lord God!"
"EEHH!?"
