The time was three hours passed midnight; at the godly castle in Athos.

"And then I said...'You may be a god in your domain, but I have killed stronger gods than you before-"

"Hahaha~ laughter~"

"Haha, I can't believe he fell for your blinding trick, sister Thalia..."

In the living room, Athena, Thalia, Anna, and Elaine sat on magnificent white sofa couches as Thalia explained her fight with Kiltrax (chap 38). The four Omni-Queens jokingly laughed while drinking white godly wine on white chalices.

Outside the living room, Raleigh stood by the double-doors with hands behind him, closed eyes, and a calm respectable demeanor. He wore a black three-piece suit with a long leather coat on top, with black boots. He could hear the joking laughs of the four Omni Queens; earlier, he had knelt and presented himself to Elaine, with her acknowledging his greetings.

"So... What realms have you guys traveled to?"

Elaine asked, changing the topic; hearing their sister, Athena sipped from her chalice as she replied.

"We haven't really traveled much yet; this multiverse is our first place of visit; and Anna, Thalia and I went to the Realm of the Fairies, which was not that bad. And you? Please don't tell me you came straight to him!"

Athena asked with a joking smile. Listening to Athena's words, Thalia couldn't help but look sideways; as she was in the same basket with Elaine, she even froze time in her universe just to see Patrick. Her case was the most desperate.

Elaine had a shy expression as she unknowingly played with her hair, she then spoke in a low soft feminine tone.

historical

"I... I just wanted to see him, that's all."

Hearing Elaine's words, the other three Omni Queens exchanged glances, they smiled. They all understood their undying and never ending affection for Patrick, though they don't know why, they still accepted it as it felt completely natural.

"Well, what do you ladies say we cook something before he arrives?"

Anna suggested as she stared at her three sister-wives for approval. Exchanging gazes, Athena, Thalia and Elaine nodded simultaneously, then, Athena spoke to the castle.

"Castle, take us to the kitchen."

(Existence: King's family's Omni-Dimensional Residence (Sentient); A True Omnipotent residence made with the fabrics of totality. Has infinite rooms with each room having unlimited views. Installed with infinite transformations, infinite resources, and can do anything the God Master allows it to do)

Simultaneously to Athena finishing her sentence, the room changed to a resplendent lavish kitchen; the kitchen was a spacious hall with countless utensils neatly stacked in different section of the hall. Then, white aprons materialized as they attached themselves to the four Omni Queens.

"What are you ladies making?"

Athena asked as a huge ball of meat appeared on her table.

"I'm making the skyline chicken meat."

"I'm making my favorite meal, lasagna."

"Mine is a surprise."

Anna and Elaine replied as they adjusted their aprons. Thalia had a funny smile as she said "Mine is a surprise." Hearing this, Athena, Anna, and Elaine all stared at Thalia as they jokingly mocked her, speaking simultaneously.

"Ohhh?! Is that so!"

Thalia smiled as she ignored her sisters' mockery.

The four Goddesses continued their conversation as they prepared their separate meals; Elaine even ordered as the castle began playing music in the kitchen.

But one thing for sure was that the four Omni Queens were bonding, from strangers to friends, from friends to sisters, and from sisters to sister-wives. Little by little, their chemistry increased.

Outside the realm barrier of Athos, the one thousand masked beings from earlier hovered in the air as they slowly inspected the energy barrier. They had arrived ten minutes ago as they bunched in an orderly formation, hovering in rows of ten.

"I can sense a godly energy from this energy barrier, but it's fades in comparison to the energy of His Absoluteness."

The leader among the masked beings spoke while inspecting the energy barrier. He continued.

"The Immortal Realm maybe a higher domain, but compared to the 'First Realm,' it's space void isn't sturdy enough to withstand our primal energies, especially now after we received the blessings of His Absoluteness.

And we will appear disrespectful if we release our Qi's at the gates to the realm of His All Absolute One, so the best thing to do now is to wait here until the realm is opened again."

The leader spoke, his words obeyed by the other masked beings.

After what felt like five minutes, the space trembled as over seventy young adults, both male and female, emerged from the sliced space void; the seventy three arrived beings stood in the air as they each exuded overbearing auras, causing the space to vibrate constantly.

The group wore lavish and luxurious robes and attires as their presence caused their particular portion of the sky to shine exuberantly. One could tell they were from a higher power as they each held arrogant, prideful and looking-down-on-the-world demeanors. Leading the group was none other than Hu Longtian.

Hu Longtian had a dominant presence as he and the other seventy two young adults slowly approached the realm barrier of Athos. But upon seeing the one thousand masked beings hovering by the realm barrier, Hu Longtian frowned.

'Is that our welcoming party?! But we came unannounced and sudden at that, how could there already be a welcoming party for us?! Could this be the doing of the One Above!? Or wait! Could it be master-'

"Hahaha! Athos truly knows how to satisfy it's guest. It seems that after learning of our arrival, the One Above had already prepared a welcoming party; this Dao child is truly impressed! It's only fitting there be a welcoming party for us Dao children, don't you guys agree?!"

Hu Longtian was thinking when suddenly, one of the young male adults behind him arrogantly bellowed, his words of arrogance and belittling echoing the scene as it drew the attention of the thousand masked beings. But contrary to the Dao child's expectation, the masked beings whom he thought were their escorts, remained unreactive as they ignored him and his group.

'This arrogant brat, does he not know of Athos' reputation and the One Above's true capabilities, which is not even a rumor anymore?! To think there are still people who dared talk arrogantly to Athosians, is he seeking death?!

But again, this is an opportunity, if I allow these arrogant and uninformed fools to mess around and ultimately annoy the One Above, then there would be less Dao children to compete with when the Desolate Realm opens.'

Hu Longtian thought as he assumed a wicked smirk. He slowly held a hand to his lips, clearing his throat, he spoke, his words aimed at the Dao child who spoke earlier.

"Ahem! It seems that little brother Bong isn't as respected as I thought, to think even guards of Athos dares to ignore him, I only hope today's event doesn't leave a stain on little brother Bong's reputation."

Hu Longtian's instigating words were like pouring a gallon of fuel into a cup of fire, which will cause the cup to exploded in flames. And indeed, the Dao child named Bong was instigated; he assumed a killing and cold expression as he stared at the thousand masked beings. He slowly approached the group as he spoke, his words filled with rage and disgust.

"This kind and benevolent Dao child showed you pathetic lowly guards some grace and acknowledged your existence and you dared ignore me!? Not even your foolish One Above shall save you from me now. Heaven slaying palm!"

The Dao child bellowed as the Qi in the surroundings distorted heavily, the clouds formed into spiral shapes as they assumed a bright purple color. Immediately after, a massive palm, one hundred feet long, emerged from the spiraling clouds as it descended at the thousand beings at fast speed.

The sky trembled as the massive palm continuously descended; the Dao child named Bong, had a satisfying smirk as he watched the palm's inevitable descent on the so-called guards.

Another person with a similar expression was Hu Longtian, except his smile wasn't out of satisfaction; he had a much wicked smirk as he stared at the scene of the descending palm.

'I'm truly a genius; with this, the guards will die and the One Above will be triggered, so farewell to you, little brother Bong!'

The one thousand masked beings watched as the gigantic palm descended on them; but despite that, they all had calm and unbothered faces, they didn't even attempt to defend against the palm attack; on the contrary, they remained unreactive as they maintained their formation.

Then.

Boom!
