---Pets World---

On the very first or main Island that was floating high in the sky.

A house could be seen at the side. It might seem small from the outside but inside it was as big as a huge Mansion.

Currently, in the master room, on the master bed, a woman with divine beauty could be seen.

There was a chair placed beside the bed and Primis was sitting on it while holding the woman's hand tightly.

That woman was Ophis.

As Primis was looking at the exquisite face of his Empress, many complicated emotions flashed through his eyes. Other times, Primis barely showed any feelings on his face but in Ophis presence, he let them all bare.

The same was the case for Ophis. She only opened her heart and feelings to Primis.

Now the reason why Ophis was still here when she killed by that Being.

It was thanks to his Guilty Crown.

As said before, Guilty Crown universe is a universe that can house one's soul and consciousness.

Primis had absolute control and authority over his subordinates and Permanent Members. Hence, before Ophis soul could erase completely, he used that authority of his and it was absorbed into his Guilty Crown.

Of course, he used some special methods to make sure that Being wouldn't find out about it. Though it won't work next time anyway.

The next thing he did was just pull her soul out and create a new body for her.

Still, the damage dealt to her was too much that even after he was in slumber for Hundreds of Millions of years, she barely recovered enough to wake up.

The cause for Primis faster recovery was Zenith.

Since it was made of three forms of power which include soul, in his Eighth-Dimensional God state, Zenith was also repairing his soul.

So, in the end, it was healed enough that Primis could regain his consciousness.

Anyway, back to the present.

Primis came here every day and stayed by Ophis' side like this. He wouldn't say anything, just kept on holding her hand as if telling her that he would be waiting for her return no matter how long it would take.

A few hours later, he got up.

Putting her hand back into the quilt, he leaned down a little and gave a light kiss on her lips.

Even when their lips separated, he didn't back away.

His forehead was touching Ophis forehead as he caressed her face gently and lovingly.

Primis: Love you too.

With this, he raised his head and left the room.

CLICK!

He walked down the corridor before stopping in front of another room.

Opening the door, he walked inside.

There on the bed was Scáthach.

He brought another chair near her bed and sat on it.

Time went by in silence.

Just when it was time for him to leave, Primis extended his hand and tucked her hair behind her eyes.

Slowly caressing her face, he opened his mouth.

Primis: I know that I have said this before, but I will say it again. One of the main reasons I want you is so that you can help me fighting against that Being. And you proved to me that it was one of my best decisions ever. You already knew that it was a hopeless battle, yet you didn't step back even till your death.

Pausing for a second, Primis continued.

Primis: Hence, you better return. Prove me again that since the "Queen of Land of Shadows" can even fight that Being heads-on, how can she be stopped by a mere death.

His expression became gentle as he lowered himself and kissed her forehead.

Primis: And don't forget, you are mine. Without my permission, you are not allowed to give up.

With this he left the room again.

CLICK!

Walking for some more, Primis entered another room. It was Beatrice's.

Siting on the edge of her bed, he spoke.

Primis: Forgive your Big Brother, Betty. Just like you, I also thought that we brother sister will travel and see many things together... Never expect it to stop before it even began.

Sighing, Primis started patting her head.

Primis: Wake up and we will journey together again.

After spending some more time in Beatrice room, Primis left.

CLICK!

CRUCH!

CRUCH!

CRUCH!

...

…

Since there was no one else inside, Primis walked out of the house as his footsteps made a sound when they stepped on the grass.

He looked at the bright sky for a minute before turning his head towards the Fire tree he created before.

Moltres was sitting on one of its branches and was in slumber like others.

Almost everyone was affected by Primis death. Whether it's his Permanent Members, Spirits, Pets, and even Guardians.

Primis can't even contact his Consort, Arcueid Brunestud.

Shaking his head, Primis looked at the "Stairway to Heavens" in the distance. To be more specific, the Dragon and the Tree. They were Alaya and Gaia. They were the only ones unaffected.

Why? Because they were first connected to this world and then Primis. And since Twilight made sure that the World wouldn't get damaged or destroyed, they remained safe.

Moving his gaze away from them, Primis walked to the edge of the island and looked down.

There 1 Km down was another floating island. That island was a lot bigger than this one since that's where his daughters lived.

Primis took a step forward and fell.

By the time he reached the island, his feet gently touched the ground.

There were over 300 houses. Each house contained 50 girls. In other words, Primis had over 15,000 daughters at this point.

Primis can sense the presence of all of them.

He moved and entered one of the houses. Evey house had 10 rooms if one didn't count drawing room, kitchen and others. And five girls were living in each room.

Primis soon made his way to a specific room and entered.

Inside, five girls were sleeping on their respective beds.

They were Sakura, Asaka, Cecilia, Shelia, and Tina.

Cecilia was the blind girl Primis rescued at the mall and Shelia was her little sister. They both almost looked the same. Indicating that they were twins.

Nevertheless, they were also in deep slumber like others.

Sighing in pain, Primis approached them.

Primis: I promised that I will take you all to an amusement park soon… Looks like it is delayed for long...Your Papa/Dad is a liar, isn't it...…He can't even fulfil the promise he made.

Sadness flashed in Primis' eyes as he looked at his daughters. Even when he knew that they wouldn't respond, he kept on talking for some more.

After that, he left and 'talked' with his other daughters too. He talked with all 15,000 of them before deciding to return.

That's how his time in Pets world passed.

---Teyvat---

Primis opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a huge rock.

It was night but one could easily see the distant mountains, beautiful grasslands and trees scattered everywhere thanks to the Moonlight.

Glancing to his right, he saw Lumine sleeping while holding the edge of his jacket.

"This girl is fully dependent on you."

Primis didn't reply. Though he also agreed with it.

The moment he saw Lumine for the first time, he already knew that she hadn't met Paimon yet.

As a result, she didn't have anyone to lean on. Hence, even though they both were basically strangers, by traveling with Primis for the last three months, he had become that pillar of support for her.

You heard it right. It's already been three months by now.

"There's a question that has been bugging me since the last month. Do Lord go somewhere while resting or meditating? Because I can't seem to contact you that time."

Yes. Primis body was outside all this time. He only sent his consciousness into his Pets World. By using Zenith, it's not a problem for him to give a shape to his consciousness.

He won't be able to do that before since his mind and soul were still severely damaged. But thanks to the two months he spent healing himself, he can now send his consciousness to his Pets World.

As for his Physical body, he still need time because the barrier Twilight created prevent him to do so. Mostly because his soul was still too weak.

Once it was recovered enough, he won't face such an issue.

"Primis: You don't need to know."

"I was just worried that what if someone attack you at that point."

"Primis: You can handle it."

"M-Me?"

"Primis: Yes, you. Even though you are not at your peak, you are still strong enough to sink a continent."

"Well…That's...…"

"Primis: Make yourself useful or---"

"I will. I will."

Seeing that it had backed off, Primis didn't continue with the topic.

"By the way, you still want to delay this quest?"

.

+NEW QUEST+

Mission: Fish Paimon out of the water.

Reward: A Travelling Companion and Guide

.

.

"I still can't believe Lord hacked the System and remove Failed feature."

"Primis: Since Failure no longer work on me, its better that System will put its resources on the reward."

"If you say so. Still, why lord didn't complete this mission yet?"

"Primis: The Wheel of Fate has stopped. It won't move forward until Paimon is found. I want to check something before the plot will commence."

"I see...…Lord can even see the Fate of the World. I don't think I should be surprised by Lord's conduct from now on."

Shaking his head, Primis closed the window.

'Primis: The same problem occurs again when I try to contact the Will of the World. So, Genshin Impact world is also the part of "Planar War" ...…Wait a minute. Doesn't that mean...'

Suddenly Primis sent an order, and the space was wrapped in front of him.

A wormhole appeared and the puppet of Herrscher of Void walked out.

"J-Just what is this thing...And why I feel a threat from it."

Ignoring System's voice for now, Primis ordered the puppet to step forward.

He made her sit on his lap before cutting his connection with her.

She became a marionette who lost her strings and fell.

Putting his left behind her back Primis prevented her from leaving his grasp.

The puppet head moved backward while her eyes were completely empty.

Primis kept on looking at her and sent a telepathic message.

{Primis: Get up.}

{Herrscher of the Void(Puppet): ...}

{Primis: Get up.}

{Herrscher of the Void(Puppet): ...}

{Primis: G.E.T U.P.}

{Herrscher of the Void(Puppet): ...}

{Primis: I order you. Get up, Sirin!}

{Herrscher of the Void: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}

Suddenly, a glint of intelligence passed through the empty of the Herrscher of Void as its body started shivering.

It was trying its hard to get up. It succeeded in raising its head somewhat. But then it fell back, and its eyes became empty again.

"What just happened!?"

Primis didn't reply. Though a smile was plastered on his face.

'Primis: Looks like it won't be long before I will get my hands on all Herrschers.'

He then put his finger on its head and a wisp of blue fire entered the puppet's head.

Once he confirmed that it had reached its destination, Primis sent the puppet back into his Guilty Crown.

He started patting the sleeping Lumine face while his gaze was at the sky looking at sea of stars.

'Primis: I guess it's time for me to open my Mystic Eyes. And since I already have Life Death Incantation Symbol and experienced the death itself. Let's start with you.........Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.'
