As light port could be seen as It showed just upright and bright side of the house and this Streets below the entire palace as she can see prostitutes offering up some services to some of some drunk men as they another scene could be seen as some strange men were dragging a poor girl in to there room as her moan could be heard as the sound of Hitting her and desperate sound could be heard as the surrounding people as they just ignored her suffering as they continued on with their little excitements of their own as they were going to have fun with her later as she can see another scene in front her.

As How some of the older women were just start surrounding him as he was going to his home with some groceries as woman were in there twenty's or thirty's as they were dressing kimonos but more revealing than ever she has seen as they were starting to and were dragging a poor boy always from his destination Who could be seen as more than fourteenth or maybe just threeteen at age as that's they were pushing him to or trying to take him somewhere else in some silence as they were going to Force him to strip as those women were starting to grab his pants as they brought it down as they started to take some turn to blow him up as he was begging and he was requesting them to stop has the women that brought out a sword from one of their dresses as they just pointed at his throat while they raped him there in the streets as one of them started to strip there clothes as they were ready to line with him as they started to rock and bounce on him as he was trying to find a way out as he was screaming for help at that situation.

As she just started to look away from the entire sickening scene in front of her as she couldn't do anything now as she can't leave her position and go stop them as It will just disrupt a chain of reactions form the nobles families and the commoner families as if she then choose to saving one of them and it just would just meant she can't just save another one in need at different times and it will just cause conflict between everyone else as she truly just hates this situation more than just anything just now but she has no choice but to endure all of this as she is a person off a higher stature in this empire right now and their own just now and she can't believe her and leave her position as the ruler just Help others civilians that are in need right now.

As then she looks up at the moment at the very night skies and just saw a complete darkness of the night sky as it was only just silence up there in the heaven as for a few minute there as if she look for some reason for some company there was just presence of an full moon as just it was just shining beautiful upon the very land's of the city and the Palace as she can then the forest could be seen as it touches their palace and city's courtyard as It was a beautiful sight as even the animal's are the residents in the forest live just in harmony with each other.

As She always wondered in her mind as why can't her people live in harmony with each other as they're always some conflicts between each other as She even remember first time she came here as how they started to act and reacts her first appearance She when descended from heaven to their lands how they were acting with one another how they were like more children than adults as she thought her fellow gods and goddesses were children But these people were more violent and had a very uncivilized way of living and thinking sometimes as how she help them rebuild their way of living and with the way understanding some things as marriages and many other small things and then big things combined as how she build an entire new empire for her people and her, supporters has she even remembers her first Firend and her familia member as who just received her blessings as he was a good person who generally loved his people as they loved him back how he helped her build this nation from the ground and then His descendants did the same afterwards and more than a thousand years by now has passed by now and this is the first time in her life that they're having this kind of crisis in there kingdom history as in the past they had many different solutions for situations like this but right now all the solutions in the past will not work as a new rival familia faction has risen and they are destroying the ends and the outs of this empires holdings.

Even they tried to kill her as to get rid of her and then harm her first Firend descendants to their very brutal and evil people as they were going to rape her and her followers wives and daughters as It was good She had her katana with her as she killed every last one of them but one of them escaped but he did lose his arms as it was a warning for her what day meaning for her and her people.

As a goddess who was in higher stature and Who is the mother of this very nation as will they have no shame at all as deep meaning is to there plan is to rape this very nations founder and mother and a woman that it implies that they don't care who is in their way as they will just do anything to Gain what they want it even harm anyone and anything in their path entirely.

when she as to order to build an entire new extract Gates and fortify the palaces for her and her familia protection as there was a then another recent attack at her life by a unknown figure who was dressed in black with cat ears as She showed up one day out of nowhere as she can guess she was a ninja but who's ninja or assassin as she was dare to kill her and harm her children but She thought that she was after something else or She was then asking some weird questions about the entire economic impact as she was just there to confront her She was then starting to accuse her of some crimes that she is very much honest to her very self She did not commit at all as the Ninja was just claiming that she was just oppressing and robbing the people of this very land and freedom and then destroying their futures and their families life's just for her sick entertainment as she and her kind just here to destroyed they needs to go now.



As then the mystery ninja person who just Entered her pirate chambers in her palace as she then started to confront her about the recent events at the docks as she just claims that's she goddess of this nation just brought some poison form the refugees that did just came from the city of ourorio few days ago as she was planning on using that very thing to poison the food and water of the orphans that live in the orphanage and other villager as it will then safe and help in there little economic problem at best and then she will be going to use it in the city and others villages outside the regions that are in the outside of her district control for some time and- She was cut off as suddenly the ninja just froze as She could see the goddesses eyes as they were glowing while giving her a death glare as she would never in her entire life do such a horrible thing to her people as every last person is basically her descendants as children and she loves them all equally She would never go as far as poison or harm them as she doesn't knows who this person is but she is clearly not from these lands at all as her weapons for doing the talking for her. But then the ninja found her resolve again and started to then accuse more things at her.

how much everything was a mass so much damaged was done by her and her people as she doesn't care as how she is not helping the people Who are in need of aids and food as she is responsible for so much death and destruction while she sits back and enjoys.

At that moment the queen just had more questions than answers as who was black robes girl and What was her deal as she was basically more confusing her then making any sense Is she here to kill her or to just question her methods or accuse her for something that she never committed.

But then when her guards came to her room for a check in routine as all of a sudden as she just started to attack her as she had no choice as then suddenly no choice but to take out her katana and fight her head on but her familiar members and the guards Saw this as they then started to signal the entire palace and city about the intruder as every guard we're alerted as they started to regroup and started to show up in her private chambers again as they then saw a spectacle They would never see in their lives as They're very queen and goddess in her pajamas and fighting a Ninja in sword to sword act combat as this change was event started to get worse as This pissed off the guards and decided to take charge in this fight as They started to rush at intruder as their planning on beating the s*** out of her.

As they kept her at bay but they could tell she was strong he was agile She was fast She used to shadows as her invented as she was one with it She displayed an amarkably great skill and determination as she was even overwhelming level of fours and level five guards easily

As she nearly took her life and the life of the princess of this kingdom as they had to come to and conclusion as she had to use her divine power to push her away from the windows as then they have to give an order for search warrant at find the culprit who was responsible but she then disappeared without a trace but sources tell that she might be one of the enemies factions new hired assassins as she was basically helping the enemies in overthrowing her authority and causing some chaos in the near by regions by destroying an hope of recovery over throwing the Lord's of those land's

As for that reason alone it was just build for her protection from the recently events at just transpire upon her and That attack was a message and a warning to her and to her people They can come anytime they want and just to eliminate anyone of them if they do not meet there demands as It was those very attempts that's causing her to sacrifice her greatest treasure has it is nothing in the grand scheme of things as her people are just going suffering If she does not do anything and very soon situation might go worse and then they will try to dethrone her and her family No this is a small price she must pay to save them and these people are going to make things worse for everyone as She did words and reports about what they were doing in the lands they were operating as they were selling drugs and other illegal things as it went as far as made people sell their own lives and wives and children even sometimes their own parents just so that they can go by and live They're normally for lives.

They are heartless conquerors who torture innocent people and children for their own entertainment and then leave their corpses to rot for display as for the animals to eat them as sometimes they go sick bye They're very rotten and destroyed bodies they even don't even kill them but made sure they're alive They are being eating alive by animals.

Or they are more horrifying methods they use as they even slaughter and genocide innocent people in a daily basis and burn down your homes while they are still present inside of their very homes but her hands are so tired up that she couldn't raid war on them and have their heads on spikes for what they have done But she needs to think of a strategy before she could deploy any other soldier or method to deal with them permanently.



As she there she just saw something she was still amazed at this very day as it was just a mighty tree of life itself Yggdrasill as she can see it from this very distance as the perfect as the very moon it self as it was Just shined with it giving it an elegant and as it was just beautiful with looks entirely as it was just together with the tree very nice view.

After that the tree came to her view It was one of the most breathtaking sight in her life when she descendant down from her home from heaven as it was so big that if It just reached for the very skies as it even put The Tower of Babel That is in the center of the world and the city known as orario and then everything in its very prosimetry and surroundings into shame as even her palace puts if She comparing it as then to make the matters even greater is it's very distance is very far away from here as her empire and Kingdom is very far away as it touches the edge off the world itself as that everyone in this land can see it from a far to begin with.

but then people from many different lands and culture trying to seek it and reach it just to explore it for them self and Then they just will just embark in it's own adventures that comes with it as they can still see it clearly as it day as it did reaches even the very skies itself as it was like the dungeon but opposite as this one reached out in the skies as it very mystery like the another one that is in the very city that is just known for as the center of the world as it reached down in the very earth and the monster that lurk around it.

And she was going to come back about the tree and the recent events and how she was going to change everything with her plan in mind to save her people when she just turn around all of a sudden throne rooms doors are just open as a messenger just walked inside the room with a very importantly and emergency information with himself.



As he had tell her about it as it was very concerning message at the moment but her other supporters were very angry at that very moment as on his insulins as they were in a meeting as they were just demanding for him to bow his head to just show some respect to her queen and goddess as he didn't get the question and the messenger just started to stare at him as then or to have his head removed That's one of them got up and unceived his sword to commit and act against the messenger but she raised her hand stopping him in his tracks as then she asked what is the urgent message.

As the messenger then explained to her that they was someone at the gates of there kingdom as there was a new familiar entering their homeland and they are very strong individuals with them as they might be with the enemy or some kind of travelers from a different land as they did not recognize the armor he was carrying with them when they inspected there carriage as their names and appearances matches some of the strange individuals who came in this land a few months ago. As the messenger explained this to the queen as she just listened to him in silence.

Twenty minutes later explanation.

" Did you just say they were families of three different strong individual and two of them match the description that those two convicts we arrested a few months age who just arrived in this nation with blessings ?" As she ask her messenger as he was just nodded at her as he was then started to bow to his queen as everyone else were nodding alongside him as when they received information that he brought to them.

A goddess has long black hair that is similar in color to a raven hair women he will know of personally as She has white and light skin woman while she was wearing a the typical robes of Shinto outfit like her fellow family members and followers along with a long necklace made of Golden Sun as she had a beautiful and it exotic color fan in her hand as she has a strange and powerful look on her face as she was slightly annoyed at time at the recent results but right now This was a Great news for her for once as just two of strange individuals came to her kingdom a very few months ago as they had a weird and familiar blessing to one of the god's of chaos as She knows of who is in currently in Heaven as if her knowledge was perfect he was a little troublemaker when he can to the city of ourorio few years ago.

As her long memories serves her right he was killed and sent back to heaven in just during the fight of with goddess astrea by her own sword in hand as she send him back to heaven and saved the day and city's that day and later her entire familia died and she just disappeared afterward and nobody knows where she went afterwards.

As the battle take place in city of ourorio just seven years ago by the families that Currently ruling at those lands as this was exciting and concerning for her as well as she just nodded at her messenger and then looked the words her imperial guard in just excitement and determination as they're have found a new lead and they know the next order of business is to found them.

As the messenger just continued speaking "Yes your highness, as One of individual are an ex-adventurer and from his aura alone is very powerful as he might be a level 5 or higher which means he was or is powerful adventurer in his time maybe he is from the familia of Zeus or Hera as There are many members that were not confirmed who have died as some basically disappeared without trace and went into hiding entirely from the entire downfall of the familiar so few many years ago your highness It's likely they just started to show up again to regroup-" as he Messenger told her highness as she didn't let him finish parking as she just pulled up her head to stop him in his tracks as he under stood her and immediately starter to bowed again to her as she was thinking at that moment about the entire situation.

Then the queen asked one thing "was he allowed inside with his group" as she stare at her guards and royal supporter and as the Messenger starting to sweat a bit as he just knows the answer as everyone's intention was upon his answer as they started to then nodded at him for the correct answer.



Ask the messenger started to sweat as he took a deep breath and answered his queen " yes your Highness we let them pass" as she Then started to process information She just received from her messenger as then she asked another question to her guards.

As the guards straightening themselves up as they prepared themselves "And then Who are the other two individuals with him as the other one is he a fighter too or someone else entirely And what about the other one strong individual who were speaking of ?" The guard looked up at her and opened her mouth to explain the entire situation to her.



"No" As the goddess raised her eyebrow at this answer of her guards as she started to sweat a bit starter to explain everything.

"One of them is a woman basically and she is a Amazon who is with a young girl beside her as She wasn't alone They were three other Amazons beside her but their levels will not be more than level two at best as The other one male is his God If I'm correct and I didn't get his name at first but he only wanted to follow the blonde hair person and with his adventures and then he started to say strange Something along the lines of the experiencing the lower world for all it's fullest worth and start new chapter.

He also did mentioned you were an old acquaintance of his back in heaven and he did like his silence sometimes " as the queen was very surprised at this mention as that Most of her old friends that she had already met down in Gekai and the only ones that truly just remaining were Parvati some of the other Shinto gods and goddesses and One of the is currently living in ourario.

As who would never go to the lower world and.....Erebus.... which can't be right and He was sent back to Heaven seven years ago when he let the charge in ourario as the member and founder of evilest.....

ok.....This was getting very interesting indeed Has she started get concerned at this thought as Why the bloody hell is he doing in her domain as is he responsible for some of the ruckus that is going around here or was the assassin that came the other few nights ago with him so many possibilities and then coming to her mind as she was thinking as why would he even do such a thing in the first all As she remembers correctly that Erebus had black hair with two cadet gray locks and gray eyes. He had a white shirt along with a jacket and pants, both black. In addition, he wore a purple untied tie around his neck and a black glove on his left hand.

A few more things she started to remembers about him and it was his believed that true evil was to be hated by everyone and, as the God who presided over all evil and he was determined to always be that way in his life as When asked what justice was by other god's and goddesses as he just replied that absolute justice was an ideal and something that had to be reached and won and to just making possible the impossible.

But If the information is right what she had heard all those years ago as just Due to the defeat of the Zeus and Hera Familias and there banishment by the new familias and their gods in charge as the arrival of the Promised Time, he sought out the arrival of a new hero Who would save the world from the evils that lurks beneath the ground of this very world and to banish it for good.

As Do achieve that he needs to causing some chaos and working together with Alfia and Zald One of the surviving members of Zeus and Hera familia to prepare a great battle and challenge for Orario history as Contrary to what he said at that time as then she start to remember what Astraea said to him that his malevolence was inevitable rather than absolute, saying that it was something that necessary to make the world a better place.

As She remembers one of her just other unwanted friends who was no other Then that pervert known as Hermes who just described him in his words as a hopeless person who liked to isolate himself from the rest of the world and loves nothing Just himself and his stupid ego.



As she was thinking then she made her decision She was going to confront this situation and these new threats "Alright then keep an eye on them and report back everything and I would like to see what they will do here in the city of Kitzumara and Will they do in the future " As then The guard's Then started to nodded And then bowed to her and taking there leave.

As the the queen was thinking as started to understand Her situation better as she was starting to smirked As She started to head back to her throat and sat at her throne, the sounds of gunpowder reaching her ears from down below her as she saw two of her new soldiers were demonstrating a new weapon and invention they created as it was more of a musket they said as it was for killing those heinous monsters that are polluting the mountains and the rivers.

As practice with one another with their weapons and each other as a blood was everywhere She just watched and she was excited for the outcome other than tire ideal as The moon was shiny bright as this might be a good luck for her as she might find her solution for her modern crisis at hand.

"This might prove interesting in the long run " She said chuckling like a creepy yandere.
