Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"So, what do you say? In or not?" With her dark shade black eyes, that seemed as endless as the bottomless Abyss, she looked at Cheryl sternly and proposed her proposal to her.

Her beautiful expression mesmerizing even Cheryl and her daughters, who couldn't help but stare a bit longer and become absorbed into her charm.

"...We?" Cheryl finally managed to squeeze out a question from all the information Louise had told her. To be honest, she barely heard half of what Louise said.

"Yes, we. Including the twins and Athena, there are five of us. If you agree, though." Louise replied immediately without hesitation in her words.

"You've already gathered so many? I thought the distance of the Middle Realm was hard to cross, even for gods like us." Cheryl looked at Louise in wonder and admiration when she thought of this rumor.

"I used the Shadow Plane. Unfortunately, I can't sense the residual aura of the boys, only that, Mimi seems to be stranded in Hell, not far away from my sphere of influence, so it's fine." Louise responded lightly as well.

Due to the boys growing up in a different Palace than the girls, she didn't know any of their auras. Enigma was different though, she could sense his aura, but needed more time to pinpoint his location.

"That little girl is already in hell?" Cheryl wasn't surprised by this piece of news and instead sighed incredulously. Everyone were enjoying themselves while she was here, bored, and doing nothing at all.

"Hm." Louise nodded.

"...Okay then, we are companions anyway. Just that, how much do you guys earn? Before you formed this alliance. It's fine if you don't feel like answering me." Cheryl finally agreed after thinking about it for quite a while.

But she was still curious about one thing. How much faith points did they earn monthly. She was curious if she ranked high or low in teems of earning faith.

"I used to earn 1 200 faith points, just like Athena. The twins earned somewhere around 1 600 faith points combined, I think." Not finding anything wrong with the question, Louise casually explained.

"Thank God I won't be a burden. I earn 900 faith points as well." Cheryl sighed to herself. 'But i wouldn't have, without my two little pumpkin's help. But how do the others earn so much in just a year?'

She cleared out her thoughts with a head shake. This was not a bad idea, and the timing was just too perfect. A bit too perfect. As if, Louise was... was she stalking her?

Cheryl had such a thought after what happened early on today. And just that thought alone excited her, almost making her...

"I see, in that case, let's go through the formal procedure shall we?" Not knowing what Cheryl was thinking or going through, Louise stood up and grabbed Cheryl's hand.

"Yes." Cheryl agreed and also grabbed Louise's hand. Then by transmitting faith points to each other, they formed a connection together and officially became co-workers.

"...."

It was that simple. If one didn't want to form a connection with the other, they could just not accept the faith points, or disconnect the connection when it was being formed.

Louise couldn't help but look at Cheryl, who was joyfully hugging the two little dolls on her lap, happily. Looking at that smile, she subconsciously calmed down and felt her total being at peace.

After staying in hell for almost a year, violence and ruthlessness was the only thing there, and she ended up slightly getting affected. But she managed to calm down once again after being around the surface for a while, especially around Cheryl.

But she knew, the place she truly belonged to, the place where her mind will never be corrupted no matter what happens, the place she found true peace... was with him.

'...I wonder, how far of a monster have you become, my beloved future husband.' She thought to herself, before chatting some more with Cheryl and her... two daughters?

Especially about what she had managed to learn after staying in hell all this time. Times of peace were going to be a rare thing for quite a short while, in the perspective of gods that is. For mortals, it'll be a long time alright.

Middle Realm, South Cardinal

Orange Continent, Desolate Region

Today was a lovely day, so papa Rabbit wanted to go out and fetch food for its family. Being a father of two, and a hard working spouse, it wanted nothing but the best for its family.

After burrowing out of its house, it stood there and appreciated the tranquil life of the jungle... everything was just beautiful.

The large trees, the flying birds, the fresh sunlight, the extreme peace and quiet. Everything was perfectly at peace... peace which did not last long.

"YOU DARE?!"

Booom!!!

A hoarse, twisted roar sounded out within the large jungle, causing the earth to quake and the trees to tremble. Leading the birds and other wildlife to run away in fright.

But that wasn't the only thing, following that Roar was a loud explosion, followed by even more explosions which kept getting closer and closer to the small rabbit.

To the rabbit, a great disaster was inching closer and closer to it. With each passing instant, being more dreadful than the other. And it just stood there in shock. Until...

BOOOM!!!

Until when the earth did not only just shake, but instead it flipped... under the perspective of the papa rabbit, the earth felt like it flipped, as everything became inverse!!

The trees and the earth suddenly stood upside down, and the sky, that was supposed to he up, was now miraculously located below itself.

And in the midst of the flip of the world, it saw a black shadow flying right above its head. Followed by a spear that trimmed past its beared as well.

Clang!!

Sparks flew everywhere, and the papa Rabbit finally hit the floor after being flipped by the explosion. The moment it stood up, it hurried down its borehole and didn't dare come out.

It didn't care about being buried alive. It rather be buried with its family than be cut into pieces by that spear that seemed sharper than the devil's claws themself.

Meanwhile above the borehole, the black shadow managed to deflect the spear using its tough steel-like body, that was as tough and as dense as an entire island.

The momentum of the spear caused its rebound to be great as well, pushing it back at a very fast speed, as it flashed backwards faster than sound itself!!

But a brown flash appeared and collided with the spear, kicking it back to the black shadow at a much faster speed than it was rebounded back with.

Caught off guard, the black shadow could only deflect it once again, by desperately swinging its hand to save its life.

But the brown flash, which appeared to be a beautiful young monkey demihuman, with a daredevil smile, kicked the spear back at him with much greater force than before.... again!!

"Damn MONKEY!!!" The black shadow, which appeared to be a three meter tall demon with grey skin and towering horns, red eyes and a single pair of wings roared at the young lady in anger. A Demon Chief, an equivalent of a Saint.

He deflected the spear once again, preparing himself to dodge this time. But the young monkey, who seemed like a muscle brain actually two-timed him.

She twisted her body clockwise, opening enough space for the spear to bypass her. But before it could completely bypass her, she grabbed the spear with her hand closest to it, then kicked the air as if she was on solid ground.

Boom!!

Sound itself was shattered then and there, as instantly, she appeared before the burly grey demon, swung her spear using all her strength, that could smash down mountains and possibly... islands.

Despite her muscles being less than half of his, the demon didn't dare take that blunt attack head on even if it was famed for its defenses.

He immediately used all his strength to push himself back, completely avoiding another beat down by the monkey lass. "Ha!! Looks like you aren't as clever as you thought you were, huh, little monkey?!!"

The demon couldn't help but taunt the young monkey demihuman. He so dearly wanted to blind her with anger, especially since his sin was anger itself. When one was angry, they tend to do a lot of mistakes.

"Hmph." The monkey demihuman scoffed at his taunts, but it seemed like they were effective. She held the spear tighter and swung it at the demon with full force.

Using enough momentum to generate a roar from the wind being pieced. The spear force sent out by the spear swing was likewise very terrifying, and very fast. Fast enough to clash with the demon within an instant.

Boom!!
