3 weeks had passed since Zero created the new werewolves and through weeks of training, they had gained full control of their bodies and powers. During this time Zero resurrected all the humans as witches and although thru the hard work of the original 5 and those they trained they managed to pass down the basics. Alucard and Soma had also managed to train the new vampires on controlling their bloodlust and strength. Hikaru had been hard at work setting up a new regime in the criminal underworld and coming up with businesses proposals for hospitals, security companies, tech companies, and banks.

Things have started to calm down and the new residents were moved into the city slowly. Currently, all the residents have occupied their own individual homes are have started to mingle with each other. Quite a few things still needed to be hashed out such as schools for mages and children. Due to the assistance of Aquilina and the advanced magitech from the lost city, things were moving fast and these problems would be solved in a matter of weeks.

Soma, Alucard, Mina, and Hikaru had moved into the city to support and control the residents. Luckily the time aligned with golden week so Soma and Mina didn’t miss too many days of school. There were a few incidents here and there but due to Hammer and his team, they were handled quite well. A few of the new members of the werewolves had spouses and had brought them along.

Julius also moved to the city around the same time as Hammer and had started to interview the citizens for his team. He finally managed to gather 20 vampires, 30 witches, and a werewolf. The witches were chosen for their skills in magic but the others were chosen for their skills from when they were humans such as hacking, stealing, and medical skills. As soon as his team was fully set up Hikaru had a few missions for them to take care of so they didn’t really get to experience the city.

Back at the hotel Zero was having lunch with Nova, Azalea, and Dahlia. The twin goddesses had been busy filling Sophia’s shoes after she was dethroned. While she was in charge of this planet all souls were filtered through heaven’s well of souls under Azrael. They had been focused on growing and improving their operation so they spent many sleepless nights doing so. Now their Netherworld could handle all the souls of this planet with Hel’s help so they could relax.

“It’s been so long since seen you guys.” said Azalea with a yawn

“Uh-huh Nova missed you too aunty.” said Nova in response

Dahlia had long since finished her food and laid her head down to take a nap. Zero stood up, walked over, and picked her up. He then said, “I’ll take her to her room,” and disappeared into a portal.

Zero returned seconds later, sat down, and was asked by Azalea, “What are your plans for today?”

Nova raised her hand and said, “I’m going to hang out with Akio and his mom today.”

Zero frowned when he heard the little girl’s words. He wanted to erase the little boy but he knew this was no reason to kill a child. They would be leaving this world soon so all he had to do was make sure Nova didn’t become attached to the boy. Zero patted the little girl on the head and said, “Okay have fun but take Valna with you okay.”

Nova nodded at Zero’s request and said, “Okay papa!”

“Aww, such a cute moment about the insecurities of fatherhood. I want to go too so can I?” asked Azalea as she laughed while looking at Zero

Zero glared at Azalea and said, “Sure tag along but if that boy does anything to Nova I promise you’ll regret it.”

Azalea snickered and replied. “Roger boss I’ll keep the little princess away from the boy pretending to be a prince.”

Zero started at Azalea and was about to say something when he heard a telepathic message from Yoko.

{Zero please come to the tower. Hel says she needs to speak with you.}

Nova who was ignorant of the discussion being held in front of her laughed along with Azalea. Zero patted her head and then said, “I have to go meet up with your mom so stay here with Azalea until I get back.”

Zero then stood up and opened a new portal to the ancient tower in his new city. Zero smiled at Nova who waved goodbye and walked through the portal. Zero appeared in front of the tower and found 2 vampires standing guard of the tower. They were startled by Zero's sudden appearance and prepared for battle until they saw that the individual standing before them was Zero. Having ascertained his identity the 2 vampires bowed and allowed him to enter the tower.

Zero walked for about 30 seconds before he came across Hel sitting in the usual spot she sat in as she waited for Yoko to finish her daily research. When she noticed Zero she stood up and walked over to him.

“I heard you needed to speak with me? What’s up?” asked Zero

“Yes I did. My younger brothers will be arriving momentarily so I want to bring you along to introduce you to them.” said Hel

“Will Loki also be there?” asked Zero

“No, he’s still working on detaching our divine realms from Asgard without alerting Odin. My realm will take the longest since all of the souls besides those worthy of being promoted to godhood pass through there. I think it might take him a minimum of 7 years depending on how he plans to go about it.” answered Hel

With a wave of her hand, a green doorway appeared and she beckoned for Zero to follow her which he did. Passing through the doorway they appeared in a desert and Hel pointed towards 2 comets in the sky and said, “Here they come.”
