When I walked towards the door it was as if my body was a re illusion and was materializing with each step, when I walked through the door with Layla on my shoulder, I felt like I broke a barrier.
An endless stream of power passed behind , flowing around while spreading in all directions like a true explosion.
This wasn't a normal energy wave, it was pure power from the Penumbra Fairies' Magical Essence, but it wasn't a bother to , it felt more like a light breeze as I continued walking down the hall of the mansion and finally out the door.
Looking around I saw a completely different world still changing every second, the mansion was 3 tis bigger and had many open areas with plants forming part of the architecture in a strangely harmonious way.
The garden was completely different, each flower was made of crystal and looked alive, these flowers were absorbing the power of the surroundings and were releasing spheres of living magical power, these spheres are Fairy Infants.
The surrounding trees were strangely constructed of pure elental power, so trees had leaves made of fire, so trees were made of ice, so trees had branches as sharp as blades, and the air itself carried countless different scents, space itself seed to pulse like a calm, slowly beating heart.
"That's a nice change." (I)
"Where did they...nevermind." (I)
"..." (Layla)
Layla was surrounded by the presence of this place, I can feel her connection with everything around distracting her mind, luckily I don't need to go through that.
"You took too long." (Elizabeth)
"I went as quickly as possible, how are things going?" (I)
Just looking at her, I know the battle was intense, but her Aura was much weaker and I can see the tired gleam in her eyes.
"As far as I know it's over, the Fairy Goddess cleaned house taking advantage of the wave of power you created." (Elizabeth)
"So I can finally rest? No more fighting, no more invasions, no more suddenly being kidnapped and nothing like that?" (I)
"Yes, as far as I know, but knowing you, just enjoy it while you can." (Elizabeth)
"What do we do now?" (I)
"I would say let's go back, but knowing Goddess Aine, she will probably want to see you, so I suggest waiting." (Elizabeth)
"(For the love of the Gods, I just want to rest a little, I ended up here without even resting after the Spirit World, my body which is energy may be fine, maybe even better than before, but my mind is heavy enough for faint at any mont.)" (I)
"Where is everyone?" (I)
"Your Saints and Heralds have returned to the Dungeon, perhaps there was a problem there, but that can wait." (Elizabeth)
"Their Wives on the other hand...returned to their training, Erica especially seed frustrated." (Elizabeth)
I'm not an idiot, I know they're wanting to stay by my side and not being protected by , I also know they're feeling so kind of inferiority complex because of this, but there's nothing I can do about it, not even talk with them on the subject since I am the focus of the problem, all I can do is believe that they will find their path and be at the finish line waiting for them at the end.
"Where are my children and family?" (I)
"Yours also have their own responsibilities, so they went to the Dungeon, while Natasha and Caitlyn are watching the process of building the Source of Power, it will be a good foundation for the future when we build Divine Kingdoms." (Elizabeth)
"Doesn't it work like Territories?" (I)
"A Divine Kingdom is literally a Dinsion of its own belonging only to the God in question, so Gods have more than 1 Divine Kingdom." (Elizabeth)
"When a Divine Realm is used it materializes, a construct of true Divinity." (Elizabeth)
All I'm hearing is how the Divine Realm can be considered a higher level Territory, but I think that's my ignorance of not knowing the depth of it all, there's still a lot I don't know.

Since I had so free ti, I thought I'd take a look at the notifications I left out before, after all I didn't want to let any surprises slip past only to stab in the back later.
Ding!

"..." (I)
"I can't just pretend not to see that, can I?" (I)

Pov Alan's (Hero of Justice):
"You need to rest." (Bianca)
"There are still many, they may appear..." (I)
"Alan! Her death wasn't your fault!" (Bianca)
"..." (I)
"Don't dirty her mory with battles that only serve to vent your anger!" (Bianca)
"She deserves better than this! She died fighting for what she believed in!" (Bianca)
"I should have protected her..." (I)
"I should have been there..." (I)
"I don't know if you noticed, but the last 2 or 3 years it's been crazy where we haven't even been able to rest properly, at every corner it seems like a greater evil is rising and that's why we fight until we get here!" (Bianca)
Sigh
"You were fighting an Evil God, you had no way of knowing there was another, if it weren't for Darcia we would all be dead now, so instead of continuing to fight these monsters, heal your wounds, we both know that the wounds on your body They don't compare to what that God did to you." (Bianca)
"..." (I)
Around there were only millions of corpses and rivers of colored blood, we are on a planet going through a Wave of Monsters strengthened by Evil Gods, they wanted to take the planet for themselves where only Monsters existed.
Half of the planet's population was killed before we even arrived and even with the help of and dozens of other Heroes, deaths still happen daily.
My partner Darcia was just one of these deaths, one number among many others, but for her death was more significant than all the others, I feel disgusted with myself because of this thought and at the sa ti I feel guilty for not having protected her.
This feeling is not sothing logical, I did my best, I know that even if I had seen her fighting, I would not have been able to separate myself from the fight against that Evil God, I know that she died protecting those weaker than her as she always did, but none of that matters when I feel like I should have done more to protect my friend.
The tears falling down my face and the pain in my chest don't seem enough to express what I feel now, the guilt, the helplessness, the weakness and the sadness.
I thought that if I killed at least one more monster that pain would go away, so I continued and continued, but no matter how many more monsters I killed nothing changed, no matter how much I killed that other Demonic God while suffering injuries to my Soul, none of that mattered, That's because she wasn't there anymore, my friend was dead.
In the middle of that death field full of bodies and the stench of blood, all I could do was hug Bianca with endless pain stabbing my heart as tears seed to never stop falling from my eyes.
"I'm not strong enough... I need more power... I need more strength... my justice isn't that weak!" (I)
"As long as you don't give up, I know you will beco stronger, I will be by your side as I always have been." (Bianca)
"(I won't allow anything to happen to you... I will protect you until the end...)" (I)

Pov Zenos:
It took less ti than I expected when Goddess Aine arrived, in fact I didn't even feel her approaching, she simply appeared in front of as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
She didn't say anything at first, she placed a hand on my head and before I knew it the surroundings had changed, I was in a hanging garden overlooking thousands of planets and colorful clouds, an endless number of Fairies flying by the wheels sides and flows of elental power mingling right where we are.
"This ti I have to thank you for all of this, thank you." (Goddess Aine)
"Using my full power could have led to great destruction, but holding back like that only gave them an advantage, if it weren't for you I would have had to use my power even though I knew the consequences." (Goddess Aine)
"I just did what I would have done anyway." (I)
"Yes, but either way you still deserve a reward for that." (Goddess Aine)
What the Goddess gave was sothing she didn't expect, it was the Souls and Deities as well as Essences of all the Demon Gods or Demon Demigods that were here.
She placed them all in a cube made of several cubes joined together, each smaller cube was a Seal that strengthened the larger cube becoming a prison from which they could not escape.
As soon as I touched the cube, the way to undo and control the seal ca to as well as everything sealed inside.
"This is useless to and instead of exchanging it with another God, I might as well co and gift it to you." (Goddess Aine)
"What you and Layla did was much more than helping to expel the Demons, I also managed to gain more control over the Fairy World while its foundation was transford, now I will no longer be limited if I need to fight here in the future." (Goddess Aine)
