Before anything else, I checked the current EP amount of my dimension. Thankfully, it didn't cost me that much like Methero, but it was still a lot, like ten percent. I'm also grateful to those flowers Almerra made.
Methero began staring at Arrhias like a suspicious wife. Arrhias then noticed her gaze and stared back. It was like there was tension on the air.
"Hey, Arrhias... You look quite manly," Methero then suddenly spoke with tension on her speech.
"Why? Does my charisma affect you?." Arrhias replied.
Hey, I feel like I don't like what's going to happen.
"Truly, you have the essence of a mighty warrior... Now tell me this straight," Methero then looked fiercer than before. "Are you truly capable of becoming worthy of dear god's presence?"
Heeh?!
Arrhias just smiled his half smile. What is the meaning of this? Hey, don't tell me...
"Hehe, hahaha!" Arrhias then smiled like an evil demon with his dark blue pupils suddenly shone quite a bit. "Want to find out?.."
HEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?! Are they going to fight here? Right now?
Methero's claws grew larger and immediately attacked Arrhias. Arrhias in return, clenched his fists and went to attack Methero. However, before the two of them could clash, "Stop it you two!!!" I teleported in between them with my hands stretched out to stop their attacks.
With that, the two immediately leaped backwards and bowed down the ground.
"Forgive me my dear god, I didn't mean to anger you..." Methero sounded very frightened.
"So this is the authority of a god over his subjects?! How amazing..." Arrhias sounded amazed.
I let out a deep sigh as I looked at the two, "Look here, I summoned you both for a reason, and that is to protect my dimension. Surely if you two will clash, I don't know what might remain. I'm not the kind of God who can create things in just a wave of a hand. That's why as much as possible, refrain from any form of destruction, you two got that?!"
"Indeed!"
"Without fail!"
"Now look here, I don't want to intimidate you two, nor anyone else. Let's just treat each other nicely here. And respect me as your god of course," I fold my arms. I felt like a father scolding his children.
"I deeply apologize my dear god, I will do my best to hesitate from such improper ways," Methero showed her deep fidelity again. Looking at her made me feel proud and happy of being her god.
"Well, I can't promise anything but okay..." as for Arrhias, he sounded like he's just bored.
Man, it sure is livelier here now. At least Methero will no longer be lonely once I leave the dimension to look for answers. Oh, I planned to make four archangels today. Will I be okay though? Well, nothing bad comes out from trying, right?
"By the way, creator," Arrhias came to me and asked. "When you summoned me, I felt the presence of a being so strong. I felt like the need to overpower that being, no matter what the cost."
I looked at him and saw seriousness within those sharp eyes. I then stood up and replied, "Ah, I guess you felt my memory. It was the one who nearly killed me. A being so strong..."
"I see, could you please tell me the details of our current situation?" Arrhias clenched his right fist in front of his chest.
"Not now, I must still summon at least three more of you before I explain the situation," I then faced the location where Arrhias was summoned.
"Arrhias sure destroyed the entire area my dear god," Methero approached me from behind.
"Indeed, I guess we can't do it here anymore," I then looked around. "Ah, there!!"
"Does the terrain matter, my dear god?!" Methero tailed behind me, as well as Arrhias, leaving his gigantic sword behind.
"Not really, it's just that summoning on a ruined place seemed wrong, that's all," I halted as I reached another flat grassy area with a few trees. "I guess this is fine."
"You're going to create more of us, creator?" Arrhias asked from behind. "Are you not tired?"
"You dare question the capabilities of our god?" Methero looked pissed.
"Well well well. What's with you? I was just being thoughtful, that's all..." Arrhias placed his arms behind his head.
"No need to worry Arrhias," I then raised my hands in front of me like before. "I can still do at least three more..."
I then repeated the same process like before. Only this time, as EP began gathering in front of me, it suddenly exploded and scattered the throughout the entire place.
"Eh? A failure? I haven't even began the chanting yet?.." I looked at the light from the explosion slowly vanished, only to see nothing happened.
"Hm! Like I thought, you need to rest, creator," Arrhias folded his arms.
"No, my dear god!!" Methero suddenly went and began massaging me all over. "Are you alright? Any pain? I shall heal you immediately!"
"No, no. I do t feel any pain. But maybe I am tired," creating Arrhias probably took a toll on me, specially after the EP almost ran out of control to the point that Methero has to help. "Perhaps I should do it later..."
"Don't you worry, my dear god! For I shall prepare you a meal fitting for your glory!" Methero began dancing all around. "Now, leave everything to me!"
"Perfect! I do feel hungry all of a sudden," Arrhias smiled looking at Methero.
"There shall be none for you..." Methero's face looked more demonic than five netherworlds.
Finally, after about half an hour of waiting, I sat down on a chair at the dining hall of the palace waiting for Methero's cooked food. Despite being warned his life not to join, Arrhias waited on another chair while placing his face on his right hand on top of the table.
The dining hall wasn't that grand. Only filled with simple palace designs and paintings of food. with various neatly arranged plants. The read walls seemed to match the lighting the chandelier from above was producing.
"I'm sorry to have you waiting my dear god!!" Methero then placed the covered trays floating on air on the table in front me. "Here I have made all kinds of dishes I'm sure you shall enjoy!!"
Suddenly I felt excited! I haven't really eaten for quite a while since we gods don't really need to eat. Us gods live only by EP, therefore as long as there is EP, we can stay alive. Food for us is just EP combined to make it more delicious and enjoyable.
"Here I have..." Methero opened the trays and revealed all the food. "Firefish marinated in war bee's honey, holy cow's meat grilled in fox fire, hellhound leg with blood fairy dust, raw chopped nine tentacle octopus from the infinite sea, and eye of a cloud leviathan. All of these are made with love, plus a secret special ingredient which I cannot tell!
"Huwaah!!!" My eyes sparkled witnessing such delicacies in front of me. I then used god vision on Methero. Oh! she has seven tier cooking skills! Just how lucky I am. I wonder what that secret ingredient is, nah.
Oh yeah, I haven't seen Arrhias's details. I guess I should do it later. For now I shall dig in to Methero's special cooking.
"Hmm! These does look exquisite, " Arrhias gazed upon the food as well.
"You insolent being! As your general, I command you to get lost!" even when angry, Methero looked so pretty.
"Okay, okay. Maybe after I'm done eating," and Arrhias then began getting food for himself in the most formal manner possible.
"YOU!!" Methero was about to fall in rage so I stopped her.
"Ahahaha, let's just let him be. He is one of us afterall," I then flashed a smile to keep her calm.
"My dear god!!" Methero then lowered her head. "You should never level yourself to us. Such a great god like yourself must not be compared to underlings like us!"
"Ah, I get it already," I let out a huge sigh. "Anyway, thanks for the food, Methero."
"You're very much welcome, my dear god!" she then held her dress and crossed her legs while lowering her head.
I then began eating Methero's delicacies to fulfill my hunger, more like I just want to eat.
"How was it?!" Methero began wagging her dragon tail.
"It's delicious, truly magnificent Methero!"
"Really?!" Methero's face was full of happiness.
"Indeed!" I then showed my appreciation as I ate faster than ever. "It's very delicious!"
"I appreciate it my dear god!" she then smiled so beautifully than ever, encouraging me to eat more.
All of a sudden, Arrhias stopped eating and stood up.
"And what do you think you're doing?.." Methero looked at him with suspicion.
Arrhias just smiled and said, "Pardon me but, I feel like such a buffet does not fit for someone like myself. After all, this was all made with great effort solely for the creator himself. I feel so unworthy..."
"No no no. You're very much worthy Arrhias! You don't need to leave," why must he go away?
"Pardon me, creator, but I also feel the need to wield my sword and see for myself what I can do," she seemed to be in a hurry.
"Indeed, you were just summoned so you need to assess yourself," Methero folded her arms as she waved her dragon tail with a smug face.
"Now, I shall excuse myself..." and by that Arrhias vanished from sight, leaving behind a small whirl of wind beneath our feet.
"Now that he's gone," Methero then smiled so sinister. "You can enjoy everything I made for you my dear god!!!"
"Huwaah!! That sounds marvelous!!!" and I happily munched down on every single one of Methero's delicious cooking.
No, it was all a lie... Here I am, inside the toilet. Doing my best to secretly heal myself after what I just ate. That Arrhias, he noticed and immediately left. This is bad, if this goes on, Methero will be our personal chef. Then that would be the destruction of my dimension. Seven tier cooking skills, why the netherworld would she have that?!
"My dear god? You seem to be taking a while..." Methero called out from the toilet door.
"A-ah... I'm coming out now!" I need to create someone who could cook.
Outside, I teleported with Methero to create the other archangel as planned. The moment we did so, I immediately felt the presence of another being inside my dimension. I focused my senses to where it was...
"My dear god, what is the matter?" Methero was about to touch me when...
"There!" I see the being together with someone. There's no one else but Arrhias. They're both fighting! Who is that being?
Methero, who finally sensed the enemy too, looked at me with seriousness, "My dear god!"
"Ah, I know. Let's go!" and we immediately teleported to where Arrhias was.
There, Arrhias was wielding his gigantic sword against a fast moving being. It had a long curly green hair with white flowers on top of its head. It would seem like the being only has hair to cover its private parts as it was very thick like vines. No, its hair was vines with some attached to its body for covering. It moved swiftly as it evaded Arrhias's massive swings of his enormous sword.
"You're quite good!" Arrhias looked happy looking at his enemy. "You're making me wanna go serious, you know."
The being just kept on attacking with its hair. Everytime it hits the ground, it would corrode it and becomes nothing. No, it absorbed the EP of the soil. Kind of like a void wound.
As soon as we arrived, the two were already into the fight. Methero was about to jump in when I put my hand in her way.
"My dear god? Why?" she looked fierce, about to tear apart her enemy. But for me, I know that's not an enemy.
"How about this?!" Arrhias pierced the ground with his massive sword.By that, a massive energy took the form of smaller swords to fall from the sky, successfully hitting the target. "Hah!! How's that, hah?!?!"
However, his enemy just vanished like it just corroded away. After that, three more if it emerged from the ground. They all attacked him while crawling like a creepy horror movie ghost.
"Stop it..." I teleported in front of one and the other two halted just as it did.
"Creator, why?" Arrhias looked like he was having fun. I just looked at him and silently swayed my head. "Ah, uhh..."
I then looked at the being in front of me. It slowly stood up as the other two corroded into nothingness. As I had a good view of it, it was actually a woman, no, a short girl. Vines with thorns for hair with big white flowers for a crown on top of her head. Her vine hair was everywhere her body with some having the purpose of covering her nakedness. She had green tattoo marks on her arms and legs. Plus those sharp pointy ears made her look mystifying. To top it all, she's a beauty.
"She's not an enemy, afterall she is-" before I could continue, she immediately jumped in hugged me tight. "Eh..?"
She didn't speak anything, it would seem like she is unable of speech, or that she just want to keep quiet.
"M-M-MY DEAR GOOOD!!! TH-THAT VILE CREATURE DARED TO TOUCH YOU!!!" before Methero could kill her with those massive claws ready to rip apart her enemy...
"W-w-wait Methero! She's not what you think she is!" I then slowly put my hand on her head. As I did, she hugged me tighter and hummed. "She's my creation."
"Whaaaaaa?!?!?! Why? How?" Methero looked shocked. Well, so did I the moment I saw her. I immediately knew she was my creation.
"I had the feeling, so I had to check," Arrhias then grinned evilly. "If she had died, then she would've been unworthy..."
Hearing that, the girl opened her eyes and a cursed purplish magic circle appeared below us. I then caressed her head and she immediately withdrew it away. "She's an archangel like you two... I believe she was created that time when I thought it was a failure. She was created on her own, without my guidance."
"I see," Methero's sounded like she understood. But when I looked at her, I could see nothing but pure envy written all over her darkening face. "Nice for her then..."
"Too bad the battle ended quickly," Arrhias then pierced his sword back on the ground and leaned on it. "That was so much fun..."
"Indeed, it was thrilling to see," Methero folded her arms and agreed.
These two...
"Oh," I then remembered something important. "I have to name you." I then held her shoulder and looked at her with gleaming eyes. "I shall name you, Vyyne!"
By that she levitated on the air and shone a dark purplish light and went down as the light gradually faded. She opened her golden bright eyes, placed her right hand on her chest, and bowed.
"Vyyne will forever worship you, my god..." Waah! she sounded so cute! A small airy cute voice.
"Welcome, Vyyne. To our dimension!"
