"What's taking her so long tho? It's been already an hour, does she still hate me, crap, should I be the one to go instead, please, please, don't!" Klein panics imagining the idea of Sharron actually bearing a deep grudge towards him.
—
It felt like a minute just passed by, but it's already past an hour as Bethel and Adam still continued to glare at each other.
Unbeknownst to their surroundings, the fight has already way past it's beginning.
Continous series of imaginary attacks like the interference of direction of certain attacks and sets of actions, the discrepancies between real and fake were all already been set.
"Hoho, I never expected Door to be hold my dear brother like that!" A certain female figure wearing a crystal monocle on her right eye with a pointy hat made a remark as she watches over the sight of Adam and Bethel battling in the spirit world.
"Should I also make a move?" Amon then raised her right arm, and made a certain gesture as if she's unlocking a door knob, but for her, this was an act of stealing.
Bethel and Adam suddenly turned their heads back to the physical world and they saw the Angel of Time hanging up in the sky, holding the blonde female figure they were fighting over.
Sharron's thoughts was halted, as if her entire existence came to pause.
This was the result of Adam as he focuses his attention against Bethel, he temporarily stopped all of Sharron's, who is currently in the hands of Amon.
"EXCALIBUR!" An illusory loud defeaning silent voice echoed high up in the sky.
Amon was momentarily taken off guard, as he look over and saw Sharron gone by her arms.
"Interesting." Amon then nudged the crystal like monocle on her right eye.
Sharron's figure was passing through at an unimaginable speed, her paused existence came through so many obstacles where the physical world boundaries and spirit world illusory imagery merge together yet none of it obstruct her as she simply phased through all of them.
—
Klein back in his mansion, as he's still in a fit of making decision whether he should go, or let Sharron coming to him, the perplexity and confusion he's diving in right now, the amount of factors he needs to take notice of, he was stopped for a moment.
(If I go, would sending Miss Reinette even worth anything, if so, does my words not really matter and she truly hates me? But if Sharron comes, then I be immediately in the clear, but that's uncertain on my part, she's still not coming, ah, what should I do?!) Klein became erratic and moved frantically around his bedroom, biting on his nails.
—
Suddenly, Sharron's body finally came to a stop from phasing through so many obstacles at an unimaginable speed.
"What?!" Roselle who said Excalibur was surprised as he found the woman not at her supposed destination, but instead, she was in the embrace of another king sitting on his throne.
George III held Sharron's body as he glazes over with mocking eyes at Roselle who was situated at the sky with two large Angel wings.
His declaration was not rather stolen, but distorted.
Excalibur is a vague tale Roselle created for himself to counter the effects of Marauder's stealing capabilities, it's similar to stealing and outright taking away whatever is on the enemy's hands, but there's a big catch, the object of interest will not go to the user most of the time, but only to those who have the right to wield and hold them.
It was supposed to go to Klein, Sharron herself was already supposed to be in his embrace already due to their longing for each other.
However, the distortion of George III created, he managed to interfere on time and made the puppet come into his arms, distorting the idea of a rightful partner coming in.
Roselle didn't have time to waste, if she failed to arrive any later into Klein's mansion, their relationship might not able to be fixed anymore.
Roselle's body then turned illusory and his figure then turned corporeal, appearing in the throne room of George III.
The two kings stared at each other in a very aggressive manner.
They couldn't bear each other's presence, if more than anything, their rules and ideas deviates from each other.
Roselle is a great man befitting of a king who could rule and make the world a better place, but he was too foolish and indulges himself too much in the past, by the time he realized the danger on the planet, the disaster the apocalypse would bring in the future, he didn't hesitate to make plans and change himself for the better, taking the risky path of going into another non neighboring pathway just for the sake of others.
While George III is an enigmatic figure who's well aware of the danger the outer gods would bring upon the world, but even then, he still found himself as the superior one, taking advantage of other's for the sake of advancing himself, the people of Backlund and Leon that he should rule over as the king suffered because of his terrible acts.
The Gods we're in a dire position as they needed another help, so the best they can do is to let another Deity emerge despite the atrocious acts he was willing to commit to advance.
Their hatred is a clear as day.
While glaring upon each other, an Old Man emerged from behind the throne, with a thick white beard, and long brown coat over his body, Roselle instantly recognized the old man as he immediately put himself on high alert.
"We meet again, Roselle." Zaratul wasted no time as he pull out something from the historical void.
Everything around the palace, especially the throne room immediately covered and flashed with blinding lights.
"Crap, I should go." Will Auceptin saw the scene in the palace became distorted and he was unable to see what was going on inside.
Evernight nodded, as the situation between Bethel and Adam came into a stand still, and currently right now, she's facing the True Creator on the other side of the astral world.
Will Auceptin's body suddenly turned big, aging himself by a few years, turning him from a newborn to a 12 year old.
"Eh...?" Will looked back at Evernight, Evernight also looked at him, they nodded, and Will proceeded forward.
Due to the authority of concealment and a bit of fate manipulation she can enduce, Evernight forces Will to age up a bit and gain more of his powers that is from his future.
Now, the stage has been set.
Evernight and True Creator watches over each other from the astral world from a seemingly countless distance.
They were suddenly standing next to each othe in the next second, glaring upon with deep hatred, Evernight raises her black sytche, and darkness emerge and swallow everything around them.

"I got you!" On the far side of the Backlund, a red hair man adorning a full black armor over his body, with his keen eyes, he could see from the far distance the figure of Klein Moretti standing in his mansion within Backlund.
Medici Einhorn Sauron then unsheathe the sword on their waste, and took a posture, ready to attack Klein from this long distance.
"I would terribly advise you to stop that whatever it is your doing."
"Huh...?!" A pissed off tone came out of the evil spirit as he turned his head over his side.
There, basking in the glory of the night, a raven black haired figure took her step in the rocky mountain with her bare feet, wearing a simple yet thick blue cloak over her body, Arianna cast her gaze over the evil spirit.
"Ooh, it's the home wrecker! Haha, good, good, I was planning to finish you both at the same time anyway." The Evil spirit laugh at the opportunity he was presented, wasting no time to turn his body towards her, ready to fight.
"Why are you doing this?" Arianna asked with cold firm tone on her voice, her gaze unfaltered, unmoved by anything else.
"Why you ask? You bitch, do you know what's it like to see your favourite character getting done dirty like that? Do you know the amount of effort they've done just to get what they want, only to end up with nothing, do you, do you?" The Evil Spirit's voice was erratic, full of hatred.
"But Sharron, she's already willing to make amends, isn't she?"
"..."
"..."
As Medici Einhorn Sauron eyes met with her with unfiltered hatred, the silence between them took a good 10 seconds, before he broke it once again.
"So what, that asshole needs to die! He shouldn't be forgiven, he needs to suffer no matter!" The Evil Spirit answered like a crazed maniac, because he is.
Sigh
Arianna made a mistake, ever since she saw the former Sequence 1 Conqueror, namely Medici Einhorn Sauron, after he threw that rock into the mansion, she should've already expected this war coming, he's the God of war afterall.
Sighing, as if persuasion and reasoning is out of his reach, Arianna then raised her right hand.
Crack Crack
Her hand then suddenly started contorting and became distorted, the bones created in a very weird but structed manner, as if it's taking the shape of a long blade.
"Heh!" The Evil Spirit then raises his sword towards Arianna, ready to face her.
Arianna's demeanour was silent as the whole process took its time, a bone sword then emerge from her right hand, swinging it to make a good feel of it, she then pointed it towards the Evil Spirit, holding the handle with both arms.
Assessing the situation carefully, The Evil Spirit's faction was nothing more than just a bunch of fanatics of purposely led themselves to believe that suffering is everything, if a person made a mistake, then they must be the worst of the worst, no opening for forgiveness or redemption, the amends to make things right.
Arianna couldn't let this faction win, but should she, if this faction won and they managed to forcefully seperate Sharron and Klein, wouldn't she have Klein all for herself, no, that's not it.
If this faction won, Klein would only ended sad, Sharron would do so.
—
"I decided, Im gonna make love to the both of you, can you accept this unreasonable demand of mine?" Klein looked back at Arianna who was standing behind him as he watches over the surrounding vicinity of the mansion through his window, the sun have yet to still set in the horizon.
"... Of course." Arianna was obviously pained to think this through, but how could she reject him, was she simply swayed by the moment.
Both at the same time.
Ever since they both become forcefully separated from each other, Arianna often saw Klein calling in a headless woman spirit from the spirit world, assuming she's related to Sharron, it seems, Klein was unable to forget everything about her.
If she wanted to make herself happy, what good more would it do than to also see your lover happy.
—
By this point, Arianna's resolve was firm and just, he can't let herself lose, if finding happiness comes with adversity, then that's all the more reason for us to tredge upon it.
Love is more often than not formed between hardships and adversity, is it not.
If everything flowed smoothly, it would terribly breed insecurity in the long run.
Of course, not everything also goes like that, but the opposite is a thing of extreme rarity, it would be a miracle to see one run so smoothly.
The situation right now is one of the many.
If she's being honest, this whole thing is hard on her part, but she's willing to face it, and see for herself what's it like to be, all for the sake of the things she wanted to cherish the most, she loved Klein, she truly do.
"Come!" Arianna then declared as they both clashed towards each other, as fire and darkness converged, a massive torrential force clash upon in the middle, battling each other in the mountain.

"Grrr... I'm definitely gonna catch that pervert this time around!" Xio stomped on the ground with her feet, feeling frustration ever since she started trying to catch onto that cloaked pervert.
"Calm down, anger won't resolve anything."
"What's that?!" Xio turned her body around in the dark alleyway of Empress Borough, only to see the Hanged Man and the Star relaxing their backs on the wall.
"C'mon, this should be basic knowledge already, anger won't do anything." Alger said straight laced upon the short woman.
"Speak for yourself, I've been trying to catch that bitch ever since, and rumors are already spreading around the borough, if anything, if we failed to catch her, then the supposed price Miss Justice gave us will all be for naught, the Official might've already catch up to that pervert."
"But we're officials tho, haha..." Leonard pointed at himself as if to mock Miss Judgement.
"Fuck you, ptoo!" It's headache, she actually forgot that these two are officials, with that knowledge, not only they would receive money from Miss Justice, it appears they also would receive money from their respective churches if they catch the criminal,
"!" Suddenly, Alger and Leonard's senses and spirituality tingled as they felt a very powerful spirituality on the same level as them.
"You felt that?" Xio glances into the sky same as them.
"Yeah..."
"Let's go! You two better not hold me back!" Xio declared words of boasting but in a good manner as she's been chasing her since day one, while these two will just be starting tonight.
"Right, right..." Leonard just followed along with the two as they dashed forward, following the source of leaking spirituality.

Huff Huff Huff
Gasping sounds was produced in the middle of a high end restaurant, but no one seems to took notice, the crowd continued on their chattering and eating.
"C'mon, notice me, notice me already!" A cloaked figure with a very sensual body aggressively and sunsually masturbated with her pussy in front of a random crowd, herself on the table, supporter by her hands.
The people was talking eagerly with one another, their heads on their side, but Audrey who was in front front came in unnoticed.
"C'mon, fuck my pussy, here's a virgin pussy in front of you! Ha, ha, hah! Fuck me!" Audrey's masturbation became even more furious as the thought of getting fucked right then and there by random people swirled over her head.
Her juices leaked out, she squirted non stop, staining the crowd's face.
"What the-?! Where did this come from?"
" A leak?"
The group of people all decided to look up, but there's no leak, yet where did this sticky juices came from.
A man in front of Audrey then tried to wipe away her juices on his body, accidentally smelling it, the man unknowingly put his fingers on his nose, then he tasted it.
It was both taste and smell sweet, but the thought of where it exactly came from was still nowhere to be seen.
"You idiot, here's my pussy in front of you!" Audrey upon seeing the man licked her juices from his finger orgasmed and squirted a whole lot more.
"Uwah!" The man in front was immediately covered with even more, staining himself with so much filth and stickyness.
Huff Huff Huff
Audrey slumped on the table, tired, gasping for air.
Suddenly.
"Hold it!" Three figure emerged, two man, and a short woman barges inside the restaurant with furious approach.
"Eh?!" Audrey immediately took notice of them, and tried to run away.
"Running is prohibited here!" Xio then declared a powerful order within the whole restaurant.
The people inside was immediately subjected to not make any rushing action and movements, and forcing them to make normal simply move.
However, Audrey was able to force herself just a bit faster than anyone, Leonard and Alger was in the same case too as all three of them we're already sequence 5 Beyonders, but it will still take time.
"Hey, what are you doing in this peaceful establishment!" The restaurant owner immediately rush over to the three intruder, but his movements was a lot slower than he thought it would be, he didn't know what exactly was happening, as he was immediately ignored as the three intruder seems to be chasing somebody, but nobody was there.
Ignoring the owner, the three hunters put all the their focus on the pervert.
(Crap, crap, crap! Run, run!) Putting in all her might, Audrey's strengthened her legs, now she was moving much more faster.
Yet, she failed to realized Leonard and Alger was already way behind her.
(Oh shit!) Audrey made an immediate decision, as she turned her body around to face them head on, casting her left eye just as she was a few inches from the open window.
Fwoom
Audrey tried to force a hypnotism upon them, Alger and Leonard taking this unnoticed, they suddenly felt something wrong.
(Who are we chasing again, where is that damn pervert?!) They asked with the same thought swirling over their head.
"What are you two doing! She already escaped!" As Xio managed to finally put herself out of the predicament, leaving the restaurant, she shouted at the two of them.
Leonard and Alger felt shame as they finally came to realization what kind of a person they're dealing with, they have been a little too carefree due to the fact they simply assumed that Judgement's sequence was lower than them making it seem like it was the sole reason she was unable to catch the pervert, but the pervert was on the same level as them, catching them off guard.
It was a rookie mistake, a terrible mistake.
Audrey casted a simple psychological invisibility towards the normal citizens, but she was also putting herself in harm's way as she let Xio see her whole figure, but now with Alger and Leonard, she will have no choice but to completely conceal herself.
With her knowledge regarding the sailor and sleepless pathway, their spirit manipulation would be a pain to deal with, making her try harder as the difficulty increased.
—
The spirits all around us became erratic and confused, fearing for their existence, they tried to make a run in all and every direction, but the only direction they would be heading to is towards Bethel Abraham, unknowingly attacking him due to reasons unknown.
Adam just finished his declaration, and all the spirits all over their vicinity started attacking Bethel in the middle of the spirit world, but Bethel simply summoned a large illusory door behind his back, this door sucked in all the spirit with no regard to forcefull resistance, everyone was sucked in right away.
Bethel then raised his right hand, pointing at Adam on the opposite side of him.
Another illusory door appeared below him, which immediately sucked Adam away.
Adam's eyes was thrown into a void like place as he was unable to see anything, his eyes darkened.
"You think this can stop me?" Turning incorporeal, Adam's body became illusory and transparent as his body started to formed into countless pieces of information and merges with the whole surrounding.
"Divine Kingdom"
Large towers of great heights protruded and erected from the seemingly void like ground, things started to produce light as if it was the creation of the universe was being reenacted right before Bethel's very eyes.
"Liveseyd, Corpse Cathedral." Adam's voice was very aggressive, unlike his usual self, its not like him to fight and take the initiative in a head on confrontation, but Mr Door, as the Ancient Sun God, Mr Door is an entity he invested so much in the past to create a weaker Lord of the Mysteries, this was done so once he reached the state of a pillar, he could easily beat this rival of his status.
As of right now, Adam forcefully converged and merge Liveseyd and Corpse Cathedral, two divine kingdom's from himself and the former Visionary Dragon of Imagination, Ankewelt, to battle Bethel's capabilities regarding his manipulation over doors.
Suddenly.
BOOM
Half of Corpse Cathedral and Liveseyd was immediately torn apart as a large concentrated torrent of blasted fire was produced from the horizon, attacking the divine kingdom.
The fire produced by a star burn away everything, towers fall apart into countless pieces, information and reality cracked apart.
Yet Adam was unfazed as he stared at Bethel who was in the far horizon of the supposed void like place that incorporated with his divine kingdom.
"Should I create my very own too?" Bethel then put his two arms together, a small sword appeared in between.
"Divine Kingdom." His voice was weak but powerful, he then looked over Adam.
The distance they shared was no less than 5 meters as he forcefully closed it.
Out of nowhere, countless illusory doors and a number of torrential pieces of light started to merge with the divine kingdom.
Towers disappeared in the blink of an eye, doors, gates, any sort of opening that could lead towards the interior of the divine kingdom kept closing all at once.
Bethel have yet to accurately create a stable Divine Kingdom of his own, despite that, he was able to produce one to simply create the effect of destruction and battle their way through inside of Corpse Cathedral and Liveseyd.
Adam then snapped his fingers in a unforgiving manner.
"Huh?" Bethel's mind came to halt, everything stopped.
He forgot what he was supposed to do, he looked over the Divine Kingdom and saw it undamaged.
Didn't he just destroyed half of it, what happened, why is here?
Then suddenly, Adam grabbed Bethel's chin and forcefully looked at him in the eye with deep hatred.
Mind deprivation.
Normally, this attack would be countered by numerous sets of preparation by an Apprentice Pathway Beyonder, as they can simply open two doors in their consciousness, one in the front, one in the back, this process would simply forced the attack to passes through.
But Adam was smart, if he did that from the very beginning, it would be the outcome, and as such, he made sure to take away Bethel's focus away from the current situation, allowing him to be caught off guard.
Now, Bethel's mind was currently eating itself away, he then forcefully put his hand on the temple of his head while kneeling and crouching down.
But Adam with his actual body then grabbed Bethel's arm to forcefully stop him, if it was a virtual persona, it would never work as the strength needed for it might not sufficed and even failed in the process.
(Control yourself, this is nothing!) Gripping his hands tightly, Bethel tried to battle his way through the mental attack with his very own mind, it was suicidal, but he immediately found a cure.
Position.
Getting attacked by it should be no problem as long as he can open two doors in his mind, but he was caught off guard, and he doesn't know how to deal with it just yet as he never properly experienced it at this level, but now that it comes to this, the actual situation at hand, Bethel immediately figured a way out in such a dire situation.
With his standing as a King of Angels of the apprentice pathway, by finding certain ways through numerous uncertain approach, setting a position in his mind forcefully, it was unlike for an Apprentice to do it, this should be the domain of the spectator and sleepless pathway, but Bethel simply didn't care and force his way through.
The moment he finally set a good position within himself, Bethel's mind came to a moment of serenity and clearance.
Without wasting any time, Bethel then saw all of the things eating him away in his mind, with a clench of his hand.
Boom
Bethel casually bombarded his mind with the power of stars.
This was done in a rather dangerous manner, damaging himself is akin to suicidal when he could've just open the supposed two doors to let the deprivation out of his mind.
But he was wary of Adam, he can't afford to follow along his wills, and as such, he did the unthinkable.
By purposely doing something dangerous, and hurting himself, Adam was caught off guard this time, he can't hurt Bethel, if Bethel hurt himself first, it was truly unthinkable.
Adam was taken aback, Bethel was obviously hurt at his own attacks, but that didn't matter.
"How about a taste?" Bethel then grabbed Adam's arms back, with the power to copy other powers, Bethel then casted mind deprivation on Adam.
