For some reason, a.r.s.eia changed her mind of spilling the beans to her eager son, so she just kept her mouth shut and nodded at Ru instead, trying to tell something in-between them. Ru nodded back in response. In turn, Zeran was dumbfounded of his mother"s and Ru"s secret agreement, although a.r.s.eia told him that he shall witness it later on. Afterwards, Zeran, Mai, Ru and a.r.s.eia were summoned back to the Celestia heavenly court. Though, there were no audience nor the presence of the dark G.o.ddess judges instead, there was some kind of a stunning angelic male with pure white wings who"s somewhat similar to an agent from the heavens above. More than that, beside him was Ange. Sadly, Ange was still chained with golden chains and she was looking-like an infuriated princess, while she was staring at Zeran and Ru with raging anger. Soon, the angel-like agent brought out his some kind of gla.s.s tablet with runic scriptures and he said to them,"Now then, as per the absolute laws of the Celestia heavens..."
"dark G.o.ddess Ruhime, What kind of punishment befits this light G.o.ddess Angehime?".
The air became quite tense, as the light G.o.ddess Ange was about to receive her judgement from her G.o.ddess counterpart. It seemed strange but, the laws of Celestia heavenly system treated the opposing G.o.ddesses as equals such as the balance of light and dark. Ru closed her eyes and decided inside her thoughts, while her furry ears were twitching momentarily. Sooner or later, she opened her determined eyes and she replies,
"Hmmm...I"m thinking...letting her to be erased is such a harsh thing..."
"Instead I might suggest..."
"Her amazing powers will be brought down to LEVEL 1...".
Ange"s grudge on her face had dispersed, instead she wore a surpised expression, since Ru seemed to have forgiven her by giving her a very light punishment. The angelic agent smiled and said,
"I see..."
"Then finding a newer light G.o.ddess won"t be necessary at this moment...".
"Anymore to add on?".
The angelic agent felt that the punishment was too light aswell, since Ange also alarmed the Celestia heavens, so he asked Ru more to add upon. Ru looked above the clouds and touched her lips, while she was guessing in her thoughts. A little while later, she looked at the agent and said with a very sincere expression,
"Mai will be the balance G.o.ddess of our world..."
"In order to keep the forces of light and darkness in check."
"Since, she knows more about the said limits..."
"As she had witnessed those beforehand as a normal human and as a G.o.ddess long before...".
Mai was surprised since, she was somehow being rewarded, even though she felt to herself that she didn"t do anything to help her close friend. Ru noticed that Mai was filled with guilt and doesn"t want to accept her generous offer, so Ru gave off a supportive smile to Mai. As Mai took notice of Ru"s motivational smile, Mai"s painful guilt had ceased and she accepted Ru"s offer with all her heart. Zeran was growing more and more surprised over the course of Ru"s unexpected judgements, so he had convuluded thoughts, that was somehow lagging behind,
("So this is the alternative punishment...but still...").
Though, Zeran was pretty much shocked, since the punishment was too mild, especially for the cruel things that Ange had done to both of them before, so he asks Ru, as he was filled with doubts,
"Huh? Ru? Wasn"t that too mild?"
"I mean just to level 1, while she still sits on top with her proud *ss?".
Mai cracked out a haughty smile and joined-in the conversation,
"Zen...you underestimate the meaning of a level 1 G.o.ddess..."
"Whence a G.o.ddess is back to Level 1..."
"Meaning, her very home, powers, influence on the people etc. would be nearly gone...".
a.r.s.eia added upon,
"It"s like she"s starting back at square one my dear son...".
He posed like a kid who had understood the idea using the palm of his hand and mild fist, while he responds,
"So it"s like you"ve been stripped out of your status then?".
Mai replies,
"Yes...".
Thereon, Zeran was in his clouded thoughts yet again and recalled some parts of his imaginative memories. Though, soon enough he expressed out his inner thoughts,
"Hmmm...since Ru gains her levels from her artifacts, how about Ange?".
As Ru heard his doubtful question, she cracked out a sinister smile and went close to his s.p.a.ce. Then, she said with an endearing tone,
"Hmmmmm...how do you think Na.s.sus woke up my dear Zera?".
Zeran replies,
"Don"t tell me?!".
Though, he already knew the answer inside his very head. In turn, he was very much surprised once again, since he was too astounded even in his own answers,
("NO WAY ANGE IS LIKE THAT?!")
("NO WONDER SHE"S INFLUENTIAL! THE HEROES WERE GETTING LAID BY HER!")
("SHE"S A WORSE s.l.u.t THAN MAI!")
("TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF RU!").
Sooner or later, he calmed himself down and composed his nerves. Then, he asked more questions to Ru, regarding the other punishment, although he was looking nearly irritated instead,
"Okay...and what about Mai becoming a balance G.o.ddess geez Ru explain this to me..."
"I only know of light G.o.ddesses and dark G.o.ddesses...".
Ru sighed and explained to him using lots of gestures to let him understand them clearly, since she noticed that Zeran"s knowledge of grasping information was pretty much slow,
"Well, balance G.o.ddesses are something that eases-off the tensions of two opposing forces in their world..."
"And I"ve seen that in some worlds in different heavenly systems that they were better in this condition..."
"Also, since Mai helped us, I know she can keep everything in check of the light and darkness in our world..."
"Besides...you"ve seen what happened right, nor did Ange see on what was happening in our world...?".
The angelic agent responded to Ru"s requests previously,
"I see...note taken...then the world of HIMENEA will enter the TRITHEISTIC PHASE, another kind of POLYTHEISM..."
"A world governed by three divine forces...instead of two...".
Zeran was quite dumbstruck, as he heard the words beyond his human understanding, since the coined term was very fresh to his ears, even though he was a veteran of divine information such as these. Soon, the agent from the heavens shifted his head to look at the confused Zeran and said,
"Then what about you dark hero Zeran?".
"Since you have defeated the outrageous hero Na.s.sus..."
"What kind of punishment do you want for him?".
He was quite alarmed, as he heard the statement of the divine agent upon adding Na.s.sus into the mix. Zeran closed his eyes and he was in his thoughts, deciding on what he shall request from the angelic agent. Sadly, he"s still undecided even though, a few moments had already pa.s.sed, turning the whole atmosphere to become tense, as the vibes of his decision were in critical peril. He opened his eyes and noticed that Otorine, Shunya and the three other G.o.ddesses were now seen sitting at the distant benches. Their crystal-like eyes looked very scarred and lifeless amplified by masks of deep sorrow, since they looked-like they were still feeling the shackles of Na.s.sus"s chains. Though, Otorine didn"t look the same as the other four, instead she was shunning her face away from Zeran"s sight. Thereupon, he nodded with conviction in his eyes, as he said,
"His punishment would be..."
"To release all of the G.o.ddess wives he has..."
"Not only that, he won"t be able to take them anymore...".
After Zeran released his judgement for Na.s.sus, the G.o.ddesses at the benchwarmers felt that their restricting shackles were all suddenly released from their bodies. They were now wearing hopeful faces blended in sweet glee. Shunya was jumping in joy, while she was holding hands with another G.o.ddess such as she was a happy little girl. Ru also wore a smile of deep grat.i.tude, as her beloved Zeran released her G.o.ddess colleagues from their plight, turning her to praise him in her thoughts,
("Now they are free...thank you Zera...").
Sadly, for Otorine"s sake she just left out a weak smile, while she was looking down in deep sorrow. Then, she stood up and walked out to the nearest exit, while she was leaving out frozen crystal tears like a saddened maiden for some reason. Zeran was quite puzzled over Otorine"s reaction since her reaction was quite different from the rest of her band of G.o.ddesses, making him to be in his deep thoughts for a second,
("Huh? Why isn"t Otorine happy?").
Sooner or later the positive energetic vibes had calmed down. The agent from the heavens asked another question to Zeran,
"Second, what kind of reward are you hoping for since you saved...not only the world...not one but, three G.o.ddesses this time?".

He sighed and shut his eyes once again. Strange thing is, he was now masking himself in a grinning smile of deep interest, since he"s about to receive his personal reward, turning him to delve in his thoughts,
("So I get a reward too huh...")
("Then It"s time to do this...").
He let out his words in a calm manner at first,
"The reward I want is...".
Then, he paused for a few seconds, to give intrigue to the rising mystery in the air. Suddenly, he opened his gleaming eyes of seething determination and exclaimed with all of his pent-up energy, while he was pointing at Ru,
"THE HAND IN MARRIAGE OF THE DARK G.o.dDESS RU!".
Ru was widely surprised and twitched her foxy ears once, as she heard his powerful demand. Shunya, Mai, a.r.s.eia and the rest of the other G.o.ddesses were all astunned over Zeran"s bravery and straightforwardness upon his request for Ru"s hand in marriage. There after, Shunya and the distant G.o.ddesses were wooing and whistling for Zeran"s daring request, it"s as if they were excited in this turn of events, leaving their graceful selves behind for the meantime. a.r.s.eia nodded with a smile, as she was kinda proud over her son"s conviction in his words. Though, the angelic agent just made a positive grin and asked Ru,
"How about you dark G.o.ddess Ruhime...would you like to take on this offer?".
The strange thing is, Ru didn"t respond to Zeran"s offer, but she was wearing a sarcastic smile on her face, since she couldn"t believe her foxy ears had heard, turning the air to become silent and made the other G.o.ddesses to stop their energetic actions, instead they had doubtful murmurs that Ru doesn"t like his offer. Suddenly, Ru cracked out a sinister smile of a demonic woman that would strike fear to any gullible man. Then, she had a hilarious laugh, reaching out from her lungs, while her palm was feeling her forehead,
"Ahahahahahaha!"
"Geez Zera are you trying to kill me or what?"
"My hand in marriage?"
"Tell me you"re joking right?".
Zeran replies,
"Err...you don"t like it?".
Afterwards, Ru went near him and held his chin with her flawless hand such as she was visage in the mysterious darkness. Then, she looked at him direct in the eye and said with her tone of a temptress,
"Ohhhhh no Zera..."
"I love it...".
She leapt away and floated above the high ground such as she was a superior being to him. Then, she brought out her stainless kitchen knife and magical b.u.t.terfly sniper that coated the whole form into a truly powerful dark G.o.ddess. Afterwards, she exclaimed her words to her dear Zeran,
"But it won"t be that EASY..."
"To win me, you"ll have to prove it to me..."
"MY DARK HERO...".
She swung her sniper to add intensity in her words. Her negative aura leaked throughout the very place although, her vibe wasn"t filled with cold death but instead, her look was filled with eager intent for her beloved Zeran. The other G.o.ddesses looked interested since, they were about to see a once-in-lifetime opportunity of seeing a hero fighting against a G.o.ddess to prove his love. As for Zeran, he held his chin to calm his nerves, while he was in his deep thoughts,
("So this is how...Ru responds...")
("Interesting...").
He was looking at Ru with amazing confidence in his smile and Ru nodded with her prideful face of a high ranked G.o.ddess, as she wanted to test his deep love for her. He stanced himself for their divine battle and brought out all of his full a.r.s.enal available. Thereon, he revealed his golden claw and casted out,
"BLADE MEMORIA..."
"DA REAZ!".
The next moment, his vacant hand was already wielding his ever famous signature serpent-like blade. It was seeped in the favorite colors of his beloved G.o.ddess, as the gemstones and theme was a mix of amethysts and black. Moreover, he said to her in response,
"THEN I"LL JUST PROVE IT TO YOU!
"MY DARK G.o.dDESS!".
Ru blushed with a daring smile, as she saw her own brand of Blade memoria that he had manifested for her. Later, Zeran rushed towards to the high and mighty dark G.o.ddess Ru and commenced their raging battle of a hero and a dark G.o.ddess, although their faces weren"t filled with furious intent and bloodshed. Instead, their emotions were fleeting into the waltzing flaming hearts synchronized in the pa.s.sionate duel. As Mai was seeing the two of them were fighting to their hearts content, she just sighed and said with a relieved look,
"Sigh...these two...".
"They"re unusually perfect for each other...".
