I'm back home. Vacation is over

~~~~

Well, the ladies finally got their stuff ready and got into their new outfits. Kuroka was still wearing her usual black kimono. But Koneko surprised me by wearing a white one. It suited her.

Ingvild was wearing jeans and a pink t-shirt that showed off a bit of her stomach and navel. Over that she was wearing a nice white jacket. She was blushing bright red from embarrassment.

Asia was rocking a new more.. well delinquent look. Black jeans. Low-crop white shirt. And a fashionable black leather jacket. It strangely suited her. And showed how far she had come from a shy nun who didn't know anything about the world.

Xenovia went with 'normal' clothes. Jeans and a white shirt. Which was totally surprising, since usually she would try to seduce me with more revealing outfits.

Misaki just wore jeans and a black T-Shirt

Tiamat didn't get what the point of changing style was. So she was still in her old clothes.

Valerie was wearing a red shirt with a black skirt and stockings.

Meredith wore jeans and a thin blouse. To show off her figure. Dino seemed to like it judging by the wey his jaw dropped

Rose the poor thing was forced to wear a mini skirt and a tight shirt as well. 'A figure like that shouldn't be hidden by a suit' they said to her. While it was a nice view, the poor girl couldn't walk straight because she wasn't used to it.

Veldora just scratched his head as he looked at them "Is there any point in new clothes? Considering we will probably destroy them on our journey"

~ Asgard

We are back in Asgard. A Quick pit stop.

Knock. Knock

The door quickly opened up

"Rose?!? Why are you back so soon?" Gondul asked with a worried voice

Rose smiled and hugged her "Don't worry granny. I wanted to stop by, we are going on a journey and I wanted to see you before we go"

Gondul just smiled at her "Good. And I see that you are finally wearing some nice sexy clothes. About time"

Rose blushed "Grandma!"

Gondul just ignored her granddaughter's embarrassment "So where are you going"

Rose started to fidget "Well.. its kinda complicated.."

I decide to cut in "Alfheim" causing her to freeze in place.

She looked at Rose than at me "..No.. Please dont tell me you are using the Roots"

Rose looked at her sheepishly. Gondul took a deep breath, probably to start her rant, but I stopped her "It will be fine. I have a way to navigate the small worlds. And survive the environment. And even if we end up in the Dimensional Gap. I have set up a Marker in our Base. I will just rip space apart and we will get home safely"

Clack. Gondul closes her mouth and thought about what I said before sighing "Fine~. Just be careful. Those roots have caused the deaths of hundreds"

Rose quickly hugged Gondul. "I will, thanks Grandma"

After saying our goodbyes we exit Asgard at a specific point and find ourselves in the dimensional gap outside Asgard.

Above us was a GIANT ROOT. That led somewhere in the distance.

"... Just wow"

Was the reaction of pretty much everyone in the group.

I can't see shit beyond a certain point

Dino just slumped even further "This is going to be exhausting isn't it"

"Think of it like Hiking" I shrug my shoulders

"I was.. that's why I said it will be exhausting"

Meredith who was next to Dino grinned "Would you carry me if I got tired" She stopped in front of him and did her best puppy dog look

"hmmm. No." Dino immediately cuts off any fantasies " I was actually thinking how to convince Veldora to carry me"

Meredith froze in place. Completely shocked by this. The rest of us start to laugh at them.

"Dino, there is no way in hell I'm carrying your lazy ass."Veldora says with a serious expression

"We do it enough when we are gaming" Gasper smirks

Dino freezes "Touche"

"Hmm. We will have to walk for quite a while." Tia looks up trying to see where the roots end or rather 'begin' but she couldn't see a thing. Neither could I

The roots go through multiple small worlds. to keep thing hidden. The root isn't visible inside the small world

You need to exit at a specific spot to continue walking on the root. If you choose the wrong exit. You get stranded in the Dimensional Gap.

Odin uses his Eye to navigate himself.

And how will I navigate in this place?

Simple. A Compas Sword.

I quickly form a compass that was basically made to be 3D. It was made from 6 blades. North, Weast, South, East. UP and DOWN. Since there is no real way to track directions in the Dimensional Gap.

This thing was based on Jack Sparrow's compass. I set a goal. And it uses my power to locate what I want and guide me to it.

In this case, the goal is Yggdrasil. The more power you pump into it. The more accurate it is. But I have to vaguely know where it is. Otherwise, I would have just looked for Alfheim directly.

"Let's go, shall we?" Isaiah smirked as he raised his hand. Swords started to materialize in the air, they started to stack on each other and fuse. In a couple of moments, a large metallic wingless western dragon was in front of them.

"All Aboard the Dragon Express" Isaiah laughed loudly

The team was looking at him speechlessly

"Hmm?" Kurama raised an eye

"Cool" Koneko smiled

"Since when can you do this?" Misaki asked curiously

"Since I became a Super Devil." I shrugged nonchalantly

"It's fucking awesome" Mini Dio grinned

"Yes. Yes it is" Aisa smiled at their reactions.

All of us climbed on the back of the Metalic Dragon.

"Hmm?" Everybody freezes as they stare down at the back. They felt their power being drained. There was no way I would make the entire trip just on my own reserves. So I designed it in a way that it slowly drains the power from everybody

"Meredith stop moping and help me out." I focus and swords come out upwards from the sides of the dragon. Barrier swords. To protect us from the Environment of the Dimensional Gap

"Hai, Hai" Meredith waves her hand, she was a bit disappointed that Dino wouldn't carry her. Well, more than a bit. But she also knows she was being unreasonable.

She quickly uses her quite frankly insane skills in barrier and warding magic on my swords. to make a bubble that separates us from the hellish environment of the Dimensional Gap. All of us are strong enough to survive for at least 24 hours in here. But this trip will likely take days to complete.

"Well, guys. You can do whatever you want for the next few days." I bring out some tablets, manga, board games, TV's and gaming consoles. Some furniture as well, Sofas and stuff like that.

"Good Night"

THUD

Dino's floating cloud landed roughly on the ground and he instantly went into sleep mode

"Sweet. Vel do you want another beatdown?" Gasper says mockingly at Veldora

"You are on midget" Veldora growled as they start gaming while yelling and cursing each other. I put a small soundproof barrier around them. No need for the rest of us to have our peace disturbed

Ingivild and Misaki put a small soundproof barrier around themselves, sat down and started to listen to some music in peace. Something they rarely got these days.

Kurama sat down to meditate. Not to absorb energy or anything like that. This was the Dimensional Gap. He couldn't absorb energy even if he tried. He was simply meditating, trying to get inspiration or insight.

Meredith, Xenovia, Asia, Koneko and Kuroka went to the table.

"Okay. Who's up for some Poker? I'm thinking Texas(Texas Hold'em)" Meredith said with a grin.

"Sure" "I'm down" "No problem~nyaa"

Rose shyly raised her hand "Can I join?" 

"Get over here girl" Meredith pulled her hand and all of them sat down on the table. And just like that the girls started to gamble.

Valerie brought out some painting equipment. It's a hobby she recently picked up. And she is getting quite good at it. She has a talent for Art.

Each of us made mini rooms, with soundproof barriers and some thin walls.

Me and Tiamat laid down on one of the beds to relax and cuddle a bit. Simply enjoying each other's warmth in silence. 

~2nd day

"You guys are so mean" Asia snickered as she was shooting a video. Meredith was snuggling up to Dino on his cloud

Veldora and Kuroka were snickering, they thought it would be funny to prank them. But what we all did not expect was for Meredith to use Dino as a body pillow and for him to just hug Meredith in his sleep.

"This is priceless" Gaseper said with an amused smile

"Dino and Meredith will be so mad when they wake up" Valerie who was snuggling up to my side giggled.

"That they will" I nod as I watch the team gather 'blackmail material'

"I think they really should just go and make it official. They both like each other. What's stopping them" Tiamat wondered as she took my other side.

"It's their life Tia. We have no right to interfere with it. We can only support them and give them a small nudge. At the end of the day. It's their decision"

Tia and Valerie quickly fall asleep. And I soon followed

~5th day.

We have entered another small world. One completely filled with water. The experience was surreal. We were basically in a submarine.

All sorts of sea life was swimming near us. Kuroka and Koneko were staring at the fish. Their tails swished behind them.

"Isaiah~" Kuroka comes to my side and presses her chest against me "Can i get one of those fish? Pretty please~nyaa. I am willing to make a deal~ With my body~" Kuroka whispered in my ear.

I turn to her and lean on her ear. "No~"

Kuroka stomped her feed "Come on~nyaa. Why not"

I smile at her and pet her head and scratch behind her ears. That immediately calms her down. "If you want fish take some from our storage. We are in a small world. I have been watching these fish. They don't exist in our world. Who knows if they are poisonous or what else they have in them? I dont mind you taking a few to study them. But I doubt you would have the self-control"

Kuroka looked insulted "I can control myself~nyaa."

Koneko turns to us "Don't lie nee-sama. It doesn't suit you. Plus both me and Senpai know Senjutsu"

Kuroka turned to her little sister "Traitor~"

Koneko just smiled at her.

I grab the naughty black kitty and put Kuroka in my lap and slowly start to pet her head. She quickly becomes docile and forgets about the fish.

Koneko just pouted in jealousy. I smiled at her antics and patted the other side of the 'sofa'.

Her expression quickly brightened up. She sat down next to me and I started to pat her head. She practically melted at my touch. Both sisters started to purr. Their bodies were so relaxed that they were falling asleep. Which they did, and it only took 15 minutes.

This is fun and they are enjoying it. So why the hell not? Each of us has separate rooms to do things.

~Yggdrasil.

After what seemed like weeks we finally reach our goal.

It was the most incredible thing that I have ever seen. All of us looked up at the majestic tree. Nobody said a word. Because we couldn't. The tree was the biggest thing I have seen.

It stood there in the middle of the multicolored space of the Dimensional Gap. It had a brownish bark with small golden lines. The leaves were golden as well. Nature energy was concentrated inside the tree.

So much freaking power. I dare say it's just below Ophis. Not that surprising. Its roots are linked to 9 realms (planets). But, it is still a tree. It might have basic sentience but that's it.

After who knows how long. I stopped starting and used my 'Compas Sword to find which root led to Alfheim.

The compass pointed on the 3rd root left of us. So the metal dragon climbed to it. And then jumped. Going down the roots like a slope. Much, Much faster than climbing up.

We should get there relatively quickly.

~

We enter a few small words but I guide us out of there. after 2 days. We arrive at the end.

Below was a beautiful green orb. It was a small green planet. With a couple of blue spots on it. Lakes most likely.

Time to meet the residents.
