Villa and Garden

After giving the command to continue conquering the planet by wiping all life from its surface, Ezequiel could finally return to the Divine Realm with his consciousness. Once there he intended to finally fulfill his promise to Marie of visiting the market. The three week time period had already passed today.

He started searching for her, only to find Marie sitting on the couch, her eyes closed in concentration. She was probably doing something in the lower dimension right now so Ezequiel would wait for her to return.

In the meantime he pet the dog he had created three weeks ago. Marie had named him ‚little dog' a very fitting name in Ezequiel's opinions if it wasn't for the fact that he had already grown to be the size of a husky. He himself didn't know how this guy grew up so fast but well. After waiting for an entire hour Marie finally opened her eyes. As she spotted Ezequiel she started smirking in a complacent way.

„Haha, you may call me Queen from today on!" She ‚commanded' Ezequiel. He was her subject after all.

„And why would I do that now, you little goblin? You know what I do to goblins, don't you?" Now it was Ezequiels turn to grin, since Marie suddenly showed a very scared look on her face. She did in fact know what Ezequiel did to the goblins inside his territory. But after a few seconds she regained her bearing.

„Hmpfh, you can't do anything to me, because at the moment my believers are way stronger than you. I have conquered the entire world already and command almost 500 Scrying Raccoons, one King Scrying Raccoon and over a hundred Million Dwarfs." The planet Marie started on had dwarfs as its main inhabitants and she had already conquered all of it. The number wasn't that surprising either. After all Ezequiel had to face half a million Energy Refinement Realm goblins. A pretty big amount considering that only about one in a thousand goblins reached that realm.

„What? How is that possible, aren't the raccoons supposed to be weaker than my Angels. But I guess it makes sense, in the early face both of them dominate low-level species so since she can summon twice the number of subjects she would obviously take control of her planet faster than me." Ezequiel started mumbling, more to himself than to Marie but this behaviors weirded her out.

„Just accept that I'm weaker than you. This means that we can go to the market now as I'm stronger than you!" This side of hers really annoyed Ezequiel, but he had to admit that she, or at least her worshippers, could probably beat his in a fight right now. After all she conquered the planet through schemes and controlling instead of killing. This left more inhabitants ready to fight. If they all worshipped her she would probably earn even more faith points than him.

‚Maybe I should also keep some goblins alive? No! That would just mean more effort in turning them in believers. Eventually I would also have to migrate them to a new planer, so not worth it. I already grow fast enough anyways.' At this moment Ezequiel finally left his thoughts and remembered that Marie was still looking at him, waiting for an answer.

„Oh, right the market. Yeah that's why I came here anyways. Did you think I would break a promise I made to my precious little sister? I myself have just conquered the entire world and possess the capabilities to defend myself." Marie was overjoyed. Though she did love her brother, spending almost six weeks without contacting anyone else was driving her crazy.

„Yes! Let's go already."

Ezequiel was confident in being able to protect himself. His Angels would be able to kill every demi-god who confronted them and a Lesser God was bound by the rules of the Upper Dimension and wasn't allowed to attack them.

The two hadn't left their house for the first time. They had already explored the garden surrounding their villa. It was filled with giant tree, reaching 40 metered into the sky. There were also many beautiful flowers, growing in all colors of the rainbow. Even some small animals resided there. Maybe it was more accurate to call it a forest. The forest was divided into four parts.

The first one was similar to the rainforest back on earth, with colorful snakes and birds as well as thick vegetation. Even the air was humid, but Ezequiel didn't find out yet how they were able to so perfectly divide the four sectors. The second one resembled a European forest with a mix of conifers and trees with beautiful leafs. The fourth one was a giant meadow with rabbits and wildflowers filling it.

The last one was somewhat exotic with blue and red-leafed trees that grew in weird shapes. There were even some birds with four wings and levitating rabbits. Why did they know telekinesis? It seemed like an alien planet right from a sci-fi movie.

In total their estate covered 100 * 200 meters. Double the size of a normal one due to them being two people. Surrounding the villa was a fairy-like garden with small ponds filled with fish and several sculptures. There was even a small stream. The garden tied everything together beautifully and it was way better than Ezequiel imagined the most beautiful place on earth to be. He and Marie had spent a lot of time just walking through the different forests and appreciating the scenery.

But now, for the first time since living here, the would walk through the giant iron gates that formed the only opening in the otherwise closed, 5 meter tall, white wall that was adorned with beautiful golden patterns. It looked extremely expensive.

As they left their estate, they entered a beautifully designed avenue. Cherry blossom trees covered the way on both sides. The street was created through individual bricks made of an unknown, dark blue stone. Each of them had their own shape but they still made up a perfectly straight street.

Ezequiel and Marie were left speechless. This scenery was just too beautiful. In each direction the street continued, filled with walls just like theirs.

„According to what I found online we need to head towards the next teleportation portal. From there we can then teleport to the market."

„How do we get there though? I don't see a single car and each direction is only filled with houses as far as the eye can see. They can't expect us to walk." Marie protested. She didn't wait for all this time so she could finally leave the house, only to walk for hours.

„Let me look that up real quick." Ezequiel said as he pulled out the phone-equivalent of the Divine Realm. „It says here that we can just create a self-driving flying car with the help of faith points. The blueprints are provided for free but there are some more expensive variants you can pay for." Ezequiel simply bought the blueprints and started creating the car. It only cost him 100.000 Faith Points to condense. That was a drop in the ocean for him, but for other newer gods it would be pretty expensive.

‚I suppose they could just settle for a bike if this is too expensive for them.' He always enjoyed cycling in his past. He was too broke to afford a car after all.

As the car finally finished condensing, the two siblings entered and put the nearest teleportation formation as the destination. The flight there would take just 10 minutes.

„Market here we come!"
