In front of Selene, in the middle of the night, a large pile of corpses lied around, some were burned, others sliced into pieces, some other corpses were splattered into pieces, and a few others were melted by acidic poison, or eaten alive with sharp jaws.

All of the corpses were of different beings.

Some were humans, beast-kin, and demons, and there were a small group of Vampires, who were slaughtered by Jason, Ismene, and Anna.

Alongside that, there was a large pile of what seemed to be strange Frankenstein-like zombies or whatever they were… they sported an interesting array of abilities but were all slaughtered anyways, their power was noticeable, but not enough to match the strength of Ervas and Veronica's family fighting altogether.

The raid, however, was still rather intense, there were many of these beings, who granted a sizable amount of EXP, so everyone was able to level up to max and change Jobs a few times, some of the monsters even evolved in the middle of the battle.

However, in the middle of the fight, everyone knew that Ervas and Veronica were also fighting intensively against the powerful beings above. The Gods of Seashore were being slaughtered one by one by them, alongside the Pure-Blood Vampire Vladimir, who was easily killed by Ervas.

However, it has been over five hours since the big battle, and everything had gone into an awkward silence.

The people down below were unaware that two brave split souls were risking their lives to get rid of the ancient and divine evils that lurked within this place, the city that they had grown so attached with.

Well, not all. Some were aware, mildly.

Such as Vairvec, the Night Elf, S-Rank Adventurer, and also the Master of the Adventurer Guild. He already knew most of the split soul's secrets and had chosen to help them in this raid, where he managed to kill two Frankenstein Vampires and leveled up a lot, finally crossing a progression wall he had for years.

As Undead Servants made by Kuro began to quickly carry the corpses inside Selene, the group was now inside of Selene, assessing things around a wooden table.

Jason and everyone seemed worried rather than happy, though. Even if they should be celebrating now that they won against the odds and all.

There was something odd… And it was that Ervas and Veronica's presence… they were gone.

Three hours ago, they were gone completely.

Everyone was very concerned… what was really happening now?

Not even Kireina was here, as she was also gone.

She had left one clone here, but the clone seemed to be somewhere else, and everyone was patiently waiting for her to come back.

Half of the monster pets were also not here, as they were inside of their divine realms, alongside all of the people there.

"So… What do we do now?" sighed Ismene.

"We can't do anything else than wait for now… I am sure that those three will come back, let's simply be patient and wait, alright?" asked Anna.

"Where's mama? Did she… did she…?" asked Kuro, rather worried.

"Kuro-chan, don't worry! Veronica is very strong! I am sure she's fine. And she also got Ervas at her side, who is also super strong," said Pekorina.

"Ah… Y-Yeah, you're right! Mama can't possibly just lose!" said Kuro.

"I am still quite worried for my son! Ugh… What if they left the world? But where would they even go then?" sighed Jason.

"Wait…" muttered Anna.

"Eh? What?" asked Ismene.

Then, everyone felt something.

Something mystical calling to them.

It was like a golden thread that suddenly connected with all of them with a "ding!" sound…

Within it, there was something of utmost divinity contained.

Their souls were all connected to this golden thread, as everyone felt a sudden rush of the essence.

"W-What is this?" asked Ismene.

"I don't… know…" said Amelia.

"Wait, doesn't this… seems similar to Ervas and Veronica's presences?" asked Anna.

"Yes… I can feel it… my son is calling us," said Jason.

"Calling us? W-Where?" asked Vairvec rather concerned about what the heck was going on now.

"We must go…" said Anna.

"Go… where?" asked Kuro, she was confused.

"To their Divine Realm, of course," said Kireina, as she suddenly entered Selene rather hurriedly.

"Ah! Kireina, you're finally here," said Ditoyle, rushing towards her wife.

"Ah, I missed you," said Kireina, hugging and kissing Ditoyle lovingly, as she noticed that she had leveled up quite a lot.

"Kireina! Did your clone go with them? Can you tell us where are they?" asked Jason.

"Calm down, Jason. They're… okay. Well, not completely okay, but they are hanging out fine. The thing is, they will take literal years to assimilate all the power and knowledge they got from eating Hekaton, so they will encapsulate themselves inside his Divine Realm and accelerate its time compared to the outside world, but they wanted to call all of you to join them, as they want you to grow stronger through this period," said Kireina.

Everyone felt paralyzed. What Kireina spoke so casually was rather insane!

"Eh?! Did they eat Hekaton? So soon?!" asked Jason.

"I thought he was going to be the last enemy or something!" said Ismene.

"Woah! Mama is so cool!" said Kuro.

"This is insane! How did they even do this?" asked Anna.

"It was a series of events happening one after another… But we can explain it to you when we get inside their Divine Realms," said Kireina, suddenly conjuring a big magic circle of Spatial Magic!

"Eh? Since when you could use such magic?" asked Ditoyle.

"After I ranked up to Rank 12 and well… I also am getting a lot of power from my clone that is with Ervas and Veronica… I will also bring with us Wellerman," said Kireina, as another smaller clone of hers, resembling a tiny meatball landed over Wellerman and generated another magic circle…

"Let's go!" said Kireina, as she used Instant Teleportation, a powerful Space Attribute Magic Spell, as everyone disappeared out of thin air alongside Wellerman and Selene!
