QUAD OF JUDGEMENT

"Are you ready now Thamy?"

Julieth asked her friend Thelamia beside her.

Thelamia nodded eagerly, while they were outside the solid walls of Azuria,

"Yup Julie."

Julieth noticed that Thelamia was dressed in a cute schoolgirl's outfit, while Thelamia was carrying a velvet red backpack. Thereon, Julieth was puzzled in her thoughts yet again,

"Is Thamy cosplaying again thanks to the requests of my son?"

Though, she just didn't mind her friend's strange get-up.

They brought out their enchanted transfer cards carved out from the heavenly realm,

"TO CELESTIA!"

Time turned frozen and space went stagnant. Both of them were shrouded by the pristine curtain of starlight. The next moment, a flashbang was witnessed and the two deities had already left the fray.

Genocide whistled behind,

"I wonder who'll win."

Destruct just looked above the skies that had the presence and form of a searing phoenix, basking the horizon in sunset,

"Let's just see."

Genocide smirked,

"I wonder if having that recent rebellion will tarnish the reputation of Revelas."

Though, Destruct just had the shroud of a devil's advocate,

"Or Azurua. Since, a rebellion could be seen as instability of a kingdom."

Genocide just grinned with confidence and made a thumbs-up,

"Well, me and Thamy made a secret plan!"

Destruct just made an irritated sigh. He caressed the golden lady Fae's right shoulder who was just behind him,

"Come now my dear Fae. I don't want to even know what these two had in mind. Yet, I think it'll be outrageous to my taste buds."

Fae just made a courtesy of absolute obedience,

"Yes milord."

Genocide heard slow footsteps from behind. When he turned around, he saw the battered Raze was being supported by his twin wives dressed in outfits of decency. More so, his two adorable daughters were tailing behind him.

Raze made a smile of gratitude,

"Thanks for listening to my demands, cousin."

Xola and Xiera thanked Genocide as well,

"Yes. We truly appreciate your heroic deeds upon saving us from their clutches."

Their cute daughters had gleeful faces too,

"Yup! Thanks for saving our mommies dear uncle!"

Genocide just made a playful grin,

"You're all welcome!"

Then, he walked away, while he was making a cool wave behind,

"Oh yeah and Raze? You're set free now. But don't cause a ruckus like that again, it doesn't suit you."

On the other hand, Thelamia and Julieth were now standing at the radiant plaza of the heavenly mall. While Thelamia was looking around, she noticed that the deities with their heroes or heroines were here and there. They were strolling in the night at a place that had the atmosphere of holiness and modernity combined.

Thelamia sighed,

"Still bustilng as ever huh."

She thought of something,

"I wonder how they'll contact us Julie."

Julieth just crossed her slim arms effeminately,

"Who knows."

Suddenly, a cluster of swirling lights swarmed in front of them. Not much soon, the illuminating sparkles dispersed and an angelic man emerged who had white wings of a heavenly servant. He approached them and bowed to the two Goddesses as he was a sophistcated man,

"Goddess Thelamia and Goddess Julieth? Please follow me."

Thereupon, they followed the man of holiness. Soon, they went through the glass tinted door. Thelamia's eyes observed that the walls of crystalline sheets had spanned and bent into a circular direction.

When they entered another transparent door of diamonds, they were a tad bit startled. As they continued to tread, everything around them had the air of lunar space. Various holographic models of untouched worlds were levitating. Tons and millions of living planetary spheres were exposed around them. Beautiful constellations were spread out such as they were gem-like fragments across the vacuum. Stars of the unknown were present along the atmosphere. More or less, it was a gargantuan sci-fi planetarium to their divine eyes.

Even Thelamia couldn't take her eyes off from the celestial place,

"This is the first time I entered this beautiful place. So this is where we'll have our judgement huh."

When they reached the epicenter, the small Goddess Nearis was standing there.

The winged servant bowed and left them,

"Fare thee well Goddesses and please do keep the judgement civil."

Julieth glared at Nearis,

"So Nearis? Where's this golden Goddess."

Nearis just looked away,

"She won't come here in person."

Thelamia touched her cheek,

"So that'd mean she disqualified herself?"

A golden ball appeared at Nearis's leftside. Then, it spoke with Julieth's composed voice,

"As Nearis had said, I won't come in person. Rather, I'll be partaking this time of judgement from a long distance."

Thelamia was flabbergasted,

"Julie? Is that you?! Or is she your twin sister that I don't even know yet?"

Julieth just flipped her hair aggresively,

"Hmph! Using my voice to conceal your identity. Thanks to this, now I know your true nature."

She pointed,

"YOU'RE A GODDESS WHO SPREADS CHAOS!"

The spherical star beside Nearis just sighed,

"Please Julie, let's discuss this on another time. Rather, we're here to call upon judgement on the said prime leaders of OUR world am I correct?"

Julieth just crossed her arms,

"Tsk! Okay fine, let's just make this quick, so I can find out who you truly are."

The pristine light agreed,

"Though, before we begin, let us set aside our emotions and biased judgements."

Julieth nodded as an irritated diva,

"Well ofcourse! Since we are Goddesses foremost. And we should always choose the best decisions as possible for the better of our world."

There after, all of them started the meeting of judgement.

"Let us begin."

That sudden moment, the planetarium's infinite vacuum molted into fragments and revealed the chrome walls of an advanced civilization. Thelamia perceived that there were streaks of cyan lights running along the walls such as it was a network of neurons.

Afterwards, a holographic sphere was in front of them. Their eyes took witness it was the small scale model of their world of Athlus.

All of them took a seat at the divine chairs and the golden ball of light opened the floor,

"First, let us start off with the rise of Zero, founder of Vampia kingdom."

Julieth just looked down, while she was engrossed in her sorrowful thoughts,

"I knew they'd start with that."

Then, the ball of radiance continued,

"Before, Zero was annointed to be a hero. Not one but two deities had chosen him to be their hero of their world as well. A savior who shall unite Athlus into one nation."

In an instant, they saw a holographic screen of the past showing that the people of Athlus were hailing Zero.

Thelamia made a joyful smile,

"Yup! And he united them with flying colors! Although, we had to summon tons of monsters to scare off people."

There after, she continued to spill the beans such as she was just an innocent dumbass,

"Then, we let him slay those menaces in order for people to like him eheheheh! Thankfully no one was killed by those monsters we summoned!"

Soon enough, another screen popped out. It presented that Zero was slaying an en masse of cretins, while Thelamia and Julieth were summoning monsters through their smartphones during the middle of the night.

Nearis just facepalmed.

Even Julieth did the same,

"Why'd yah have to show them our weakness Thamy?"

Thelamia was shookt,

"Eh? That's our weakness? I thought we should only show the truth and nothing, but the truth?"

Nearis butted-in silently,

"There's a limit to it Thamy."

Thelamia apologized to her dear friend,

"Ohhh...I never knew, sorry Julie!"

The light of radiance hummed,

"Though, it's not wrong for a Goddess to do that sort of act. Rather, that's how most INEXPERIENCED Goddesses create heroes from scratch."

Thelamia felt that her dignity got crushed all of a sudden, turning her to even question herself inside her mind,

"Ehhh?! I'm inexperenced?! But I've been alive for years now!"

As for Julieth, worries had just crept her soul, as well as her thoughts,

"Does Thamy even know this kind of game? It feels like this'll be harder than I thought."

Though, soon enough, she restored her composure,

"Returning back to the topic. Yes, Zero did a great job of unifying everyone under his command. Everybody had prosperity and contentment."

Their enemies added,

"Yet it was..."

"Shortlived."

Thelamia and Julieth just gulped hard.

There after, the talkative sphere of shining gold resumed the judgement,

"Since the kingdom he founded had limited resources, turmoil andnuprisings brewed throughout the whole Athlus yes?"

Julieth was just silent and the starlight ball continued to release her tongues of fiery blades,

"Not only that, he even defiled the innernsanctuary of the Destruction Goddess, while the Creation Goddrss was at the b...I mean missing in action."

Thereon, she asked Julieth,

"Am I correct Junior Goddess Julieth?"

Julieth couldn't disagree,

"Yes."

Even Thelamia was just able to pity her friend,

"Julie..."

Saldy, the figure of light was just a harsh woman and continued to tear out Julieth,

"He even massacred lots of people when they disobeyed the iron will of his kingdom. Even when those people just begged for mercy and support. More so, he abducted and turned most of the leaders and their family members into slaves, as gifts for the lords of carnage and elders, in order for them to swear fealty to him."

Julieth was about to cry a puddle,

"Y-yes...you are also correct about that."

Nearis looked unpleased somehow,

"I think we should stop now, Golden Goddess."

Sadly, the Golden Goddess was such a bitch,

"Ah yes. Since this JUNIOR GODDESS'S HEART can't take it if we continue."

There was long silence around the place.

Thelamia looked around and tilted her head sidewards,

"So it's our turn now right?"

Nearis nodded.

Thelamia took a deep breath,

"Oohhhhkay...where to start."

She remembered something and made an optimistic gesture,

"Oooh! When Julieth gave birth to Genocide, Zero mellowed down and he realized his wrongdoings, even if Julieth hasn't noticed it yet before."

A screen emerged. It showed Zero was sheathing his blade of bloodlust and he stashed it away. Then, he replaced his primal weapon with a blunt sword made from stone that couldn't even cut any flesh instead."

A ding-dong of a correct answer echoed along the walls.

The golden light was delighted,

"Yes I agree! Yet, his cronies were still at large of ravaging the female leaders and stripping the resources of Athlus. In which he still failed to control his kingdom."

Nearis joined in,

"That was how Revelas was born."

The sphere of starlight agreed to Nearis's statment,

"Thouse who were abused and survived fled to Revelas in order to seek refuge away from the cold-blooded walls of Vampia. Thus, Revelas became a land of prosperity."

Julieth pointed at them straight,

"Though, Revelas also let in some bad apples and mistreated the people when the rotten ones came into power. Thanks to king Acrux's neglect over the wrongdoings of the ones close to him."

As expected, another screen appeared out of nowhere. It was revealing that king Acrux was sleeping on his luxurious bed, while there were pudgy men torturing poor people from outside the castle.

Julieth regained her vital spirit and crossed her arms,

"So that makes it even."

The radiant sphere just scoffed,

"Hah! Not really, since I know Acrux is still a loyal vampire king, in which loyalty is a trait of a good king."

Julieth just rolled her eyes,

"I don't think so, since he's been SENDING ME LETTERS of admiration even if he has SEVERAL wives already."

More holographic screens were shown that king Acrux was laughing on his throne, while he had four wives surrounding him as they were his prized prostitutes.

Nearis just looked away with a sigh,

"Acrux even sent me those letters of admiration I ignored."

The golden deity was surprised,

"Even you?!"

Though, she sensed that they were going far beyond the said discussion, so she restored the floor,

"Back to the topic. Okay, Acrux is not all good, but he's still doing a BETTER JOB than Zero. Why? It's because he cared about the environment as well as the resource known as magical crysalis."

Julieth crossed her legs,

"Sadly, his people didn't heed by his words and abused the environment, just like the Vampians did before. Since, those greedy people wanted to desire for more, regardless of consequences."

Thelamia butted-in as a lively student,

"Oh yea! And Zero got rid of the elders momentarily before. Then, he replaced them with our Goddess friends from different worlds to ask for their divine help!"

The golde ball of light started another spark,

"I'm very sure that Zero hired them to be his consorts or even divine prostitutes."

In an instant, a buzz of a wrong answer was heard by their ears. Thereuopn, Thelamia was glad,

"Yay! I guess you don't have to worry about them Julie!"

Julieth made a smile of a heartfelt maiden and touched her grateful chest,

"I already knew Thamy...I already knew."

Nearis also made a smile, but her brilliant companion of starlight just grumbled,

"Urrgh!"

Then, Thelamia continued so on and so forth, as she was a Goddess who brought light into the dark sea,

"Thanks to our Goddess friends' creative ideas, the kingdom of Vampia's future now is bright as ever. And now it's called Azuria!"

She raised her finger with a eager look,

"Not only that, Zero stopped acting like a dictator and listened to the people's pleas now, with the help and BETTER guidance of the fair representatives."

Julieth nodded calmly,

"Yes and he's been giving back the freedom he had taken away by asking for me and my son's support."

Thelamia agreed as she was a cheerful girl,

"Yup! And it went well! Since I was travelling with Geno, even if he's a rebellious pervert."

There after, a screen showed footage of Thelamia accompanied by Genocide travelling around different nations.

Though, the sphere of radiance intervened,

"Yet, we all know king Zero still had a vested interest upon destroying Revelas, the people's kingdom of refuge."

Julieth sighed and presented a written contract that the king had signed for a non-agressional pact,

"It's quite strange, but he had discontinued with the invasion of Revelas as seen on this contract. Instead, he and the nation of Azuria just chose to fortify their walls, as well as their poor allies. Since Revelas are now the said invaders."

Soon, a screen of horrific raids and burning of villages were done by the knights of crimson and sapphire were shown. More so, they had the banner of Revelas amongst them.

Julieth flipped her hair,

"While Revelas is causing chaos now, Azuria has been negotiating and giving aid to the free domains who suffered from the agression of Revelas without asking anything major in exchange."

There, a video of Azurians and high-ranking decent officials were helping the nearly destroyed villages.

Thelamia found an opportunity and expressed kore good deeds that Zero had done,

"And Zero outcasted those abusive elders too! He even let the people to vote for who they want!"

A screen of people voting with their tallies were shown.

Instead of admitting defeat, the divine light of the unknown Goddess steeled herself,

"Yet, the lords of carnage didn't like this gradual change. And they started a coup against the kingdom of Azuria. In which, if you analyzed it, having a rebellion is a sign of instabilty and discontent to a set of people."

They heard the sound of a correct answer and a recent footage of Zero and representatives of Azuria were taken hostage by the lords of carnage. More so, Julieth was about to strip herself for their own entertainment.

Julieth just looked away, as she was just ashamed of herself and didn't fight back.

Though, Thelamia remembered something,

"Ummm...but that coup was staged by the Revelas king and his cronies right? As said by one of the lords of carnage."

Another ding-dong of a correct answer was heard by them.

There after, the light of radiance tried to second the motion,

"Right, yes well...that's that. Anymore you two can add before we agree with ourselves. To call upon judgement?"

Julieth hesitated at first, although she still tried to have a solid ground when judgement was nearing their paths.

Thelamia was absorbed in her thoughts,

"Guess it's time to use this secret plan, me and Geno made."

She reached upon the contents of her recently-made backpack,

"Ummmm also, I think you three should see this."

Thereupon, her adorable hands brought out, the giant sphere from her backpack. The sphere was the same one that she had bonked with her head at the attic before.

Julieth saw that Thelamia was fiddling with the strange sohere as it was a tape recorder from an unknown civilization,

"Seek T-30...40AB section...Scene 71 and there we go!"

All of their eyes took witness that a recorded scene was shown through the sphere Thelamia was holding. Thereon, they were able to watch a video of the helpless

Zero with the robed woman at the secluded wine cellar,

"Tell me milady. Who are you?"

"I am known as the true Goddess. THE GOLDEN GODDESS! Also, here. Give this to your last piece of hope."

The mysterious lady had given a golden chalice that had the angel wine. Then, she vanished into the fray.

When Julieth saw that clip, she was filled with sudden rage and pointed at the shiny ball of radiance,

"SO YOU WERE THE ONE WHO PUT ME UNCONCSCIOUS AND TURNED ZERO INTO A BLOODY DEMON HUH! GOLDEN GODDESS!"

Sadly, the golden deity was a hard nut to crack,

"You think that's proof?! That record must be all fake—"

Without warning, the huge globe popped out a screen of the same scene that the sphere Thelamia had.

Thelamia made a sinister smile,

"Oooh busted!"

Julieth grew confident with a pinch of wrath atleast,

"Not to mention, this chaos or CRYSALIS WAR wouldn't even start if you didn't even seduce or initiate him!"

Then, Julieth retailiated more,

"I'm also guessing you were also the one who gave those GOLDEN CHAINS and COLLAR to him! AND LET HIM SHACKLE ME LIKE I'M SOME MERE SLAVE!"

The golden Godess was just hesitant,

"Tha-that's—."

In a split second, all of them saw a huge screen. Through the screen, Zero was having a session of overflowing lusty petals with the robed Goddess of gold. Not only that, both them were having the masks of passion as well,

"MORE MY KING MORE! I'LL GIVE YOU THESE SACRED SHACKLES! JUST FILL ME UP TO THE BRIM WITH ALL YOUR LOVE! LET YOUR PENT UP EMOTIONS RUN WILD!"

Thelamia, Nearis, and Julieth were just speechless. Thelamia couldn't believe of what she had witnessed, especially in her thoughts,

"I-I think we shouldn't have seen that."

Julieth crossed her arms and chinned up as she was an angry wife to the mistress of her husband,

"So it's true. You've been having a love affair with Zero, while I was CAPTIVE in his room!"

As the globe of truth heard Julieth's dares of intensity, it popped out numerous screens that had clips. Though, those clips weren't applicable to the eyes of the minor. Heavenly passion was witnessed from the screens. Songs of lusts were heard from those episodes.

As expected Julieth was about to reach her boiling point.

The golden Goddess in the shroud of light couldn't retort back,

"Uuuuuh...uhhhh..."

Suddenly, the ball of radiance noticed that her companion Nearis turned to look at her,

"What is it my companion Nearis?"

Nearis just gave a paralyzing gaze,

"Despicable Goddess."

Instead of making a scandal, Julieth just sighed. She crossed her effeminate arms, while her glare was aimed at the deity of gold in the sphere,

"Anything you can say, Golden Goddess WHORE?"

The illuminating brilliance of the divinty just made a sigh,

"Okay, I admit my defeat."

Thelamia jumped, such as she was a joyful cheerleader,

"Alright! Now we can bring judgement now right?"

Nearis nodded subtly,

"Yes"

Julieth flipped her hair with pride,

"Ofcourse!"

The radiant golden light was just forced to agree,

"...Yes..."

Later on, the four deities took a deep breath and they started to call upon the divine words of transcendence,

"AS THE REVERED GODDESSES OF ATHLUS, WE SHALL NOW BRING JUDGEMENT UPON KING ACRUX OF REVELAS, FOR HIS CONSTANT AGGRESSION."

One last holographic screen emerged high above the epicenter. When they looked up, all of them witnessed that king Acrux was having intimate sessions with tons of delicious beauties.

Suddenly, he was struck by a spire of light from the heavens. Everything turned white for a split second. As the ray and flash of judgement ceased, he was totally obliterated.

Screams of frightened prostitutes were heard from the king's chamber afterwards.

Thouugh, Thelamia wasn't happy, instead she was concerned about something else,

"AGAIN! WHY DO WE HAVE TO SEE THESE PRIVATE SCENES!"

Well, they don't call it the sphere of absolute truth for nothing you dimwit Goddess.

Nearis was just seedy-eyed at her golden companion of light,

"You said Acrux would be more decent."

Her ally was just disappointed in herself,

"I guess I was mistaken."

Not much soon, the divinity of servitude returned,

"The call of judgement has been unleashed. Now, it's time for all of you to return to your respective divine duties or divine pleasure.

Then, he giggled.

The four dazzling Goddesses just made a long sigh.

Julieth patted her best friend's shoulder with a smile,

"Let's go back now Thamy."

Thelamia nodded eagerly,

"Yup!"

Before they left the room of mystical vibes, the golden light heeded them a warning,

"Mark my words Thelamia and Julieth, this war isn't over! We shall reclaim Athlus and return it once it was before!"

Thelamia was stoked inside her mind,

"Wait, reclaim? Did they own Athlus before? All I know is, a world FOUND by our seniors will be given to us juniors to continue the progress of the said world. Problem is..."

She started to panic in her thoughts,

"I DON'T KNOW ALL OF MY SENIORS AND WHO GAVE ATHLUS TO US! DAMN IT CELESTIA'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATIONS!"

Though, Julieth just grinned as she was just talking to a sour-puss,

"Yay yah...talk all yah want. We won fair and square. Honestly, I don't even wanna talk to the cheater and the WHORE OF ZERO."

The light of radiance was just infuriated,

"UUURGH!"

Sooner or later, Thelamia and Julieth arrived at the enchanted kingdom of Azuria's entrance.

Genocide waved at them,

"Phew, tha was fast! And it's a miracle that dad didn't die!"

Thelamia wiggled her finger,

"Well yea! Because we won!"

How shocked Genocide was,

"GEH?! FOR REAL?!"

Thelamia embraced him that sudden moment,

"It's all thanks to your ridiculous idea Geno."

Spheera just rolled its eyes,

"I guess this pervert's idea was too much for them."

The four of them saw Zero was approaching them.

The civillians were shookt, since their king was out and didn't have any guards with him.

As he was in front of his wife and her companions, he gave them a smile of gratitude,

"I'm glade you came back safe and sound Thamy and Julie."

He shifted to look at his blushing wife,

"Also, I truly wanted to thank you my dear Goddess wi—"

Julieth slapped his face out of the blue,

"YOU CHEATER!"

Zero felt the sting, but he just accepted his punishment,

"I truly deserved that."

Thelamia, Spheera, and Genocide were just filled with shock,

"What the?"

That moment, Zero bowed with a sincere look at his Goddess wife,

"So you must've known it by now. For that, I'm truly sorry for what I've done."

Julieth just hugged him tight, while her tears were falling,

"YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE BEING MANIPULATED BY THAT CRUEL WOMAN! I COULD'VE SAVED YOU BEFORE!"

Zero just whispered words of licorice to her right ear,

"You already saved me, my dear Goddess."

Julieth just cried scandalously, as she was thankful for his gratitude.

Thelamia smiled, since everything came to light.

Soon, an exhausted azure knight came to them. Genocide hollered at him,

"Eyyyy! It's the new recruit! What's up?"

The knight panted,

"I need to tell you something, lord Genocide. It's very important."
