I was resting and quite satisfied. The elves were still busy rebuilding the village and fighting off fairies. It seems everyone was rebuilding. I was wondering what Greg and Raishin were up to so I set up a Teleroad.

-Hey how are things going on your side?-

-Quite busy. These things are everywhere and they travel in swarms. They are hindering our progress!-

-Want to hear a secret?-

-I am not going to like this secret will I?-

-Those things you’re fighting are fairies, invaders from beyond the spatial fabric. -

-… You’re serious right? I guess I will keep this to myself… Fairies, eh? I had a hunch when we encountered a swarm of scythe dogs. Does this mean cleaning them up is somehow your responsibility? -

- Not sure but it seems so. -

- The nine-tailed spirit foxes surely are getting overworked.-

- I know right! I also had to kick the ass of a pain in the ass god. I wish my auntie would return and help out but finding Hourai is also important. I might have to visit my cousins but I’m putting it off.-

-Yeah, now might not be a good time, better wait till autumn, don’t die in the meantime.-

-How are the energy problems? -

-Raishin is exhausted but this is nowhere near enough. We might have to find some more lightning tigers of I have to kill some gods with abyss magic.-

-So in this multifaceted problem, we’re screwed on every facet? -

- Seems like it. Elliana is conflicted, she wants to head home but she also wants to help out. -

-Right, I’m in the elven village, at least what’s left of it. Her father… is severely wounded. I think it’s best she comes here whenever possible. It doesn’t look good for him. -

- I see… I will tell her. How was the fight with that god?-

-Uhm, it was the same of that nightmare which I told you about and uhh, I might have some more curses on me but only about 300 so I should be fine until we meet up again. I handed her over to Bellia. There are 9 more of these new gods. I don’t know what they’re up to but you might get into contact with some.-

-I see… so this guy that just appeared might be one of them eh?-

-Oh, tell him that we have Hablena, it might either anger him or make it easier for you. Good luck, I would recommend going all out from the beginning. -

-I see, it started raining blood, this fight isn’t going to be pleasant. -

- You seem to be attracting edgelords. I will let you focus. Don’t lose!-

- Thanks.-

I closed the Teleroad link with Greg. It seems he’s in deep shit too. He’s with Raishin and Elliana so they should be fine. Raining blood, eh? I wonder if all the edgy gods will be attracted to him. That means that the pain-in-the-ass ones will somehow end up annoying me.

The sky split and something fell down.

I guess my rest is over. What bullshit is coming at me this time?

I was very confused. Why is Hablena falling out of the sky? I moved away because she would fall on me if I stood here. She seemed to adjust her fall when I moved.

Hey come on this isn’t funny!

I ran away but she still fell on me. She was heavy…

“There you are! Save me from that brat!”

Hey that hurt! What are you doing here! Couldn’t you stay imprisoned?

“I prefer dying than endure her stench and incessant wining!” The automatic [Frost cloak] was protecting me from getting more curses and I kicked her off me.

Is there anyone who is more of a pain in the ass than you are?

Bellia touched down and her cape fluttered. Is this why she’s wearing a strange cape? “I’m sorry. I took my eyes off her and she slipped away. I have no idea how she did it.”

Hablena hid behind me. “I am free now! Leave me alone or I will kill this mortal!”

Bellia sighed.“You have no idea who you’re hiding behind right? He isn’t a mortal.”

“He isn’t?” I grabbed Hablena with my tail and ignited it again.

Be a nice god and go back to being imprisoned!

“Owow! Yes! This is way better! Give me more!”

Uhh what? Bellia, what have you done to her?

“I didn’t do anything! I just tried to cleanse her!”

“You call that cleansing? It was torture! Compared to that this feels pleasant!”

Bellia, please don’t make life harder for me, just take her…

“Can you look after her for a bit longer? I am actually quite busy, her siblings are currently wreaking havoc and destroying nature with their plagues, curses, and diseases.”

Ah Greg is fighting one, he says that god is making it rain blood.

Bellia grabbed her head. “Noo! It will kill all the plants! He was a shadowcat right? Hmm hmm, near Yzs, I see. I’m off!” Bellia disappeared before I could say anything.

“Yeah, you run bitch! So, who are we going to chase away this time?” I incinerated Hablena while I thought of my next plan of action. “Oh yes I have missed this!”

I was now stuck with a pain-in-the-ass masochistic goddess. What have I done to deserve this punishment?

Ok here are some rules. You behave or else I will ditch you with Bellia again.

“Ugh fine, can I kill you a couple of times to get back at you?”

Absolutely not.

“Can I kill others to vent?”

Yes, but only with permission.

“Deal! So can you do that blue fire thing again?”

I think Bellia broke you…

I incinerated Hablena with foxfire and she did die but she did seem like she enjoyed it. “That was refreshing lets go kill humans!”

No, we’re not killing humans, yet.

“Oh, so you have a better plan?”

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

We’re going to kill your siblings.

“Uhh, sure, just don’t kill Jabby or Iacren, I like them, you can kill the rest, especially Kal, he’s an asshole.”

No solidarity… but that works for me. how about you tell me more about yourself and your siblings?

“Finally! I finally get to talk about myself!! You see…” Hablena kept blabbering about things that weren’t important so I tuned out. Maybe Hablena will end up killing me. Not by normal means but with headaches.

I was wondering where she would rank, she was stronger than the minor gods, no question. She was considerably weaker than the Sarian gods. Is she a medium god or something?

An enormous shadow pillar rose up in the distance. It was coming from the direction of Yzs and I wondered if Greg had finally wiped something off the map. The god he’s fighting is quite dead though. He’s fighting against Greg, Raishin, Elliana and Bellia. So, there are only 8 of these gods left.

“Hey are you listening?”

No. You get a crispy foxfire if you get to my question and stick to the topic.

“Oh! Ok so there are 10 of us. I’m the 4th strongest. Iacren is stronger than me, she controls the weather. Then there is Gbesion. He can adapt to anything and uses fog and poison. The strongest is Kal. Nothing can beat him. But he’s an asshole so I will gladly help you take him down. We might both die though.” I saved this all to my archive. I knew can’t exactly trust her but she seemed truthful, for now.

“There are the twins Iago and Ihana, everything dies when they’re near but they're worse than me in using curses. They will have to watch out for that stinky brat though. Gadarin is a creep, he turns water into blood and it always rains blood when he’s near. I hope your friend and that brat kill him.”

Why do you want most of them dead if they’re siblings?

“We got formed out of a single something which makes us siblings but we’ve been at each other's throats most of our lives. But that doesn’t matter I will be the one true goddess after they’re all dead hahahaha!”

You do know that you’re kicking the bucket after all those are dealt with, right?

“Huh why? I thought we would take over the world together.” I facepalmed. Somehow, she sees herself surviving all this.

Anyway, you weren’t done yet.

“Ehh, there’s Jbano everything gets dark when he’s near and nothing can perceive or sense anything when he’s nearby. He is a pain in the ass to fight but quite weak otherwise, there’s Jabby the only one I consider a sibling. He shares his love for flies and flying insects like I do.”

Sounds gross.

“And there’s Hafneer he loves making everyone afraid and anxious. And then the best out of all! There is me! I can curse, decay and steal abilities!”

I see, so why did you never steal my abilities?

“Let me take a bite and you’ll see!”

So, your overpowered ability is locked behind biting something, totally manageable.

I grabbed her face since she was attempting to bite me.

That’s not happening.

She bit into my tail and auto-ignited. “Oh, this is both good and bad.”

She ignited out of herself in blue foxfires. I didn’t do anything. She died a bit later and revived.

“Hmm, I give up. The first ability I steal is that foxfire thing of you which sets me on fire and kills me. I can’t get to your other abilities but at least I can get this great feeling even if you don’t set me on fire! I am a genius hahaha!”

I had no words for this ludicrous situation. It’s at least good to know that her overpowered ability doesn’t work on me. Well, it works but she will just kill herself in the process.

Hey, Fruitfly focus! So, what is your goal?

“It’s Hablena not Fruitfly!”

Can you answer the question, please?

“To become the rulers of this world of course! And uhh we like our world to not disintegrate into a mess.”

And taking this world over will achieve that because?

“We won’t make the same mistakes as we made before!”

Tell me what mistakes did you make before…

“We killed all the gods and races that we didn’t like especially the annoying ones. Oh also a lot that could use Pagos! But we discovered later that most of them were useful for making sure the dimension didn’t go to shit! So, we were stuck in a dying dimension. We got lucky it crashed into yours before it died!”

So how is what you’re doing now any different from what you did before? My race for example falls in the category of ‘Kill us and the dimension is fucked’ So you’re making the same mistake.

Hablena seemed shocked and grabbed her head. “Oh… Hmm.” She shifted to a pose that made me think, for the first time since I met her, that she might have some intelligence.

“Hmm you’re right, we are making the same mistake. You need to help me to stop my siblings!”

Aand the intelligence is gone. I don’t know if she realized that that’s what I’ve been doing all this time. “So that’s why you’re so strong. The races that kept our dimension alive were also strong!”

I am more surprised that all 10 of you are making the exact same mistake and expecting different results…

“Ok I won’t kill you so can I get some foxfire?”

This is a problem you know?

I killed her with foxfire and she revived. “Thanks! Now let's kill my siblings!”

Well, it seems Bellia has come into action. I think this is a god problem. I will just make sure you don’t do anything stupid until she has wiped out all your siblings.

“So, who are we going to kill instead?”

I think I’m going to work on a seal that works on gods… I can’t keep this up for long…

I started to work on a seal that could seal a god. I had to keep an eye out on Hablena. She stopped trying to kill me but her attention shifted to the elves.

The elves are also races you don’t want to wipe out if you want to live in this dimension.

“Then who can I kill?! Wait I know! The humans! They were quite useless in our dimension!”

Humans aren’t useless, at least some of them aren’t.

I couldn’t get to anything but I managed to create a seal that instantly interrupted and blocked any magic circle that creates the Rot element. I placed it on Hablena when it was done which would make her relatively harmless.

Right no more Rot for you so we can go back to Alledra. I’m going to put you to work to help rebuild the city you destroyed.

“Ugh, fine!” I grabbed her and tugged on the [Dimensional Anchor].

“Wait not this again!”

We appeared in Alledra and Hablena looked like she went through a blender. “That hurts! And not pleasantly!”

Good to know. I will pull you through more of those if you misbehave.

The majority of the food we had caught for the city had survived Hablena’s rampage so we could have a good meal. “Hey this isn’t so bad.”

Yes, maybe you should stop decaying everything on a whim and you might experience some great things!

We helped with rebuilding the city after the meal. Hablena was unsurprisingly useless. She was strong physically so she went to do physical labor.

----------------------------------------

2 days had passed and there was still too much to do. Hablena had shown good behavior, for a malicious goddess, so it was just my shadow clone in her shadow that was watching her. I went to give Anavel a visit.

Right, this is bullshit that this takes so long, it’s time to hire professionals!

“I would love to, but our treasury is drained, and trade has halted with the other countries and our resources are quite low. We have a lot of lumber to sell but nobody is accepting them for now.”

I guess it’s time to show you how overpowered I am. Don’t worry. I will get the Yttroz Industries here in no time!

“We are on their waiting list but we don’t have the funds to expedite this process, nor to request any special services.”

Hehe, that’s no problem. Do you know who I am?

“The Silver Torrent?”

Well yes, but my real name is Agnis Hourai.

“Oh my…”

I am going to hop over to Gittrian and finally abuse my power. Get some teleport gates ready. I will foot the bill. I need you to make plans to make this city bigger, better and more beautiful. Those guys can do bigger and better, they need you to make it more beautiful. You don’t have much time. I might be back within a week but I might relax for a bit before I get to it.

“What about Hablena?”

Ugh, what about her?

“There is nothing we can do to her if she rampages.”

Fine! I will take her with me…
