Wrong Opponents and a Temporary Alliance!

As Eta and Ignos charged at Henry[Alter]*, Everything around them started to change, turning into a Flat-landed desert.

After the whole domain completely flipped over.

Henry, "Domainal Control!"

Eta and Ignos felt so heavy and started to fall to the ground.

Alter, "This will not turn like it did before!"

Eta and Ignos hit the ground too hard, but luckily it was on sand. It was also hard for them to move an inch because of how heavy they felt the gravity was.

Eta, "I wanted to ask. Since he is the Devil, he should easily control Henry's body, right?"

Ignos, "Yes!"

Eta, "But after I beat him unconscious last time, he lost control. How is that?"

Ignos, "That is because he was a human!"

Alter got closer to them and overheard them talking about him, "What was that again?"

Ignos, "Grab my hand!"

Eta tried reaching Ignos with his right hand, but Alter came in the middle and kicked his hand but remained in the same spot. It was the first time Eta was hurt. Ignos was surprised to see Eta being caught, as he tried to do the same thing earlier. Eta held pain without screaming.

Alter landed on the ground.

Alter held Eta by the throat with his right hand, "Now look who's on top of who!" with a grin and left palm charging an energy blast right at Eta.

Ignos then grabbed hold of Alter's ankle to catch Alter's attention. Alter then looked at Ignos, who started wiggling Alter's ankle to make him lose his balance.

That gave Eta enough time to raise his right hand at Alter's chest, "WA-EH!"

A rainbow beam struck out off his hand towards Alter, blasting him away, which also nullified his domain back to what it was.

Ignos knew Eta was capable, but he was still amazed at witnessing it.

Ignos, "That was amazing!"

Eta looked at Ignos expressionless, "No, No! I am amazed at how you don't have a spec of hair on your head or body!"

Ignos, "That is how we are made. I cannot change that. Instead, I can temporarily use a new figure!"

Eta giggled, "You are gorgeous beings. That is what I meant!"

Ignos went silent as he didn't expect that.

Eta faced the side where Alter blasted off to.

Eta, "So, were you entertained?"

Ignos smiled, "Of Course, you are the first person to stand as my equal in this form of mine!"

Eta then looked at Ignos, "Wait! What form?"

Ignos, "Oh! So, you thought I was at my full power! That is not wrong. I will evolve after 10 years, and that's also when the new Devil will be born!"

That was when they heard Alter, "ETA!" in anger.

As they looked in that direction. A large beam hit them, sending them flying off in the opposite direction.

Alter got to them quicker than they moved and blasted them with the same beam at the ground.

While they were being hit by the barrage of the beam by Alter, Eta held Ignos's hand to teleport away from Alter.

After Eta teleported away, He looked over at Ingos, and he wasn't there with only his skin that shed like a snake's.

Eta just looked at the skin that he held, confused, "WHAT??!"

Meanwhile, back where Alter was, Ignos transformed.

Ignos's horn branched out, forming around like a crown in orange colour. He looked so angry at Alter, then at his hands and the feeling of his newfound power.

Ignos, "Hmm! Interesting. So, this is Reck*!" He then pointed the top at Alter and continued, "I might kill you if this goes further!"

Alter noticed Ignos got angry to transform, So he tried it himself. He did feel a bit different, but after trying for a while, he understood it was not for him.

Ignos appeared in front of Alter, then placed his right palm on Alter's forehead and blasted him with a beam after he said, "Tag, you are it!"

Ignos knew it wasn't it, "I am sure that didn't finish him off. Eta's beam was stronger than mine, and if that couldn't take him out, then that means-"

Eta appeared side to him, "He is getting stronger every time we hurt him!"

Ignos said after a brief silence, "*sigh* It will take us forever then. I don't think we could take him down then!"

Ignos then remembered Eta said they faced each other before. Ignos then turned to Eta.

Eta, "I have a plan!"

Meanwhile, back at the Golden Valley, After Rhea and Leon helped Pit to the Medbay, Rhea looked around to see where Persis was.

Rhea, "Leon, wasn't Persis with us?"

After thinking about who Persis was for a while.

Leon, "Oh! You mean the kid from the auction! Last I saw him. He was still Outside!"

Rhea then rushed out of the Medbay.

Leon, "Oh, Well! OK, I will stay here with Pit then."

Rhea ignored him and ran off.

Rhea was then running her way outside to what Persis was doing. She remembered her past relating Persis's situation to hers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhea's early life was marked by hardship and loneliness. She was an abandoned child, left to fend for herself on the unforgiving streets. With no family or support system, she struggled to survive, constantly battling hunger, cold nights, and the dangers of the streets.

Rhea's days were filled with a constant struggle for survival. She learned to scavenge for food, seek shelter in abandoned buildings, and avoid the dangers that lurked in the shadows. Despite her difficult circumstances, Rhea had a resilient spirit that kept her going, refusing to give up even when life seemed unbearable.

However, the isolation and despair eventually took a toll on Rhea's mental and emotional well-being. She developed a deep-seated feeling of hopelessness, a belief that her life had no purpose or meaning. This innate feeling of wanting to die plagued her thoughts and weighed heavily on her young shoulders.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Rhea reached the exit, she could finally see Persis, but it was not like she expected.

A Man with a metallic mask in red that looked like a knight's helmet was grabbing him by the throat, and Persis was trying to escape his hold.

Rhea felt like she knew him from somewhere, and after she saw 2 others entering the building, she knew who they were.

The 2 who came in were Shivan and his personal Butler. The man with the mask was The Reaper.

Shivan, after seeing Rhea standing and looking at her, "Oh! If it isn't Rhea the Ripper!" he raised his hands, expecting her to bow before him.

Rhea looked angry at him, "Let him go!"

Shivan, At first, didn't understand what she meant and then looked back at Reaper, who held Persis by the throat, trying to choke him to death, "Oh! That!"

Shivan then looked over at his Butler and nodded yes.

After bowing to Shivan.

The Bulter, "As you wish, Sire!" and then gave a stare of disgust, looking at Rhea for a moment and headed his way to Reaper.

Then Shivan looked back at Rhea, "And for you, I need you to take me to your King!"

Rhea, "King?! *tsk* We don't have a King here!"

Shivan felt disrespected, "I mean the one whose in charge of you!"

Rhea felt disrespected, "If that's who you want, it is me!"

Then they glared at each other till the Butler returned, "Sire, that's been done!"

Shivan, "Why is the woman still standing in my way then?"

The Butler, "I will gladly take her if that's what you want?"

Shivan nodded yes.

Rhea, "Then you will be one Butler down!"

Alia intervenes and asks, "What's all the ruckus about?"

They all then look over her.

Alia, "If you are looking for the Chief, he is not here now. He has left on official duties, but I can attend to you in his absence!"

Shivan didn't look pleased and understood there was nothing else he could do now.

Shivan, "I see. I came to collect my prize back. I guess, then. I will leave him here for a while since I already gave a date. Then I will leave!"

And he left without a second thought. Reaper kicked Persis, who was on the ground coughing.

Alia and Rhea went out to see where or what they had come from and saw it was a portal.
