"Oh yes! I can sense it now, my vessel! Another Fragment of the Gate to Abyss! Quickly, retrieve it at all costs! Once we can gather all of them, we can go to Abyss and finally, I can govern that world once more-" The Blood God's voice was quickly shut down by my own will. He tried to protest, materializing as a tiny crimson bat and trying to bite and scratch my head, it barely gave me a few tickles.

"Enough, you're not even in control of this, Blood God." I said. "I'm only keeping you around because I want to learn more about Abyss. I'll ask you more later. For now, keep yourself shut, please."

"Grryyyh!" He could only make little bat noises while complaining.

The gates opened as we made our way inside, I immediately felt the powerful presence of the Abyss Gate Fragment. On our way inside, we were greeted by a trio of Undead, led by an Ancient Lich. The other looked like a large, hulking ogre zombie, and the second was more like a ghoul.

"Welcome to the Death Tower, our saviors." The Lich said. "I am really grateful for what you've done to save us. From defeating the Miasmic Beasts to the Demons themselves… And-"

"Kneel." Agatheina said, her eyes glowing bright red, the trio of Undead were suddenly overwhelmed by a tremendous pressure.

They kneeled instantly, their bodies trembling in horror at her very words forcing them to do as she said… I don't know if I should feel embarrassed about her or proud, because I didn't come here to just have a chat with them.

"Sorry about that, my wife has little self-restraint when it comes to people treating me casually." I giggled. "Anyways! I am sure you know who I am, right? And who she is, isn't it?"

"Y-Yes…" The Ancient Lich nodded. "You must be… T-The Supreme Goddess Of Chaos And Demise, yes? Lady Kireina… And the lady that told us to kneel. Agatheina, the Goddess of Blood."

"You know us well; you can stand up." I said. "Agatheina, don't be too rude, we're the guests here. Anyways! What is your name? A lot of things have happened. But shall we work together? I was thinking on dragging the tower to my Divine Realm so you can be safe."

"A-Ah!" The Ancient Lich was slightly amazed by my kind words. "Y-Yes, my name is… I honestly don't remember it. Everyone simply calls me the Old Lich; I am like the leader of this place. Our tower is often thought to be a nation, but we're more like a congregation, a guild of sorts, we gather ancient information and achieve it in this near endless library. Everything happened so fast, from one moment to another, our Realm was dragged somewhere else entirely, monsters appeared, even Outer Gods… We were left without any options than to resist their attacks. Yet you and your dragons came, Lady Kireina. You've saved our souls from being devoured, we are forever grateful. Is it really okay for you to accept us within your Divine Realm? We would gladly go."

"Sure thing." I said with a smile. "You don't mind if I take your books from time to time to learn everything you've gathered?"

The Lich looked at the other Undead and they all seemed to agree.

"For sure, knowledge was made to be spread after all." He nodded. "From Ancient Ritualistic Magic to Rune Creation, we even have some books containing information about the Ancient Blood Progenitors- And more."

"I see." I nodded.

"T-Then, shall we go…?" The Ancient Lich seemed very terrified, and was very wary of Agatheina, while he had lowered his guard in front of me, thinking I was nicer.

Well, I usually am a very nice lady myself, sometimes. However, he couldn't really fool me.

"Before that!" I gently patted his skull. "How about you give me what you're hiding?"

"A-Ah… W-What? What I'm hiding?"

The Ancient Lich felt utterly paralyzed as he gazed into my crimson eyes, the other two Undead behind him were also shocked I knew.

"Come on, I am not a fool. Did you thought you could fool the Supreme Goddess of Chaos, pretending you don't even know about it? No, you're just pretending it doesn't even exist. Not even bringing it up." I smiled. "Do you think the Demons just came here for nothing? They were all seeking something, dear Lich. Now, handle it to me."

"W-What… could you be talking about?" He tried to fool me a second time.

"Okay then, the hard way it is."

My delicate-looking fingers pierced his skull and blew it up into pieces. Then with a mere pressure of my Aura, the rest of his bones were reduced to dust. He tried to resist, funnily enough, an aura of dread, phantasmal flames and all, did nothing though.

"You're really amusing, trying to fight a Supreme Goddess… No well I'm already far above that." I giggled. "Ancient Lich, why go so far? To sacrifice your own soul for this precious item, when I already have one in my possession?"

"Uuughh… P-Please spare me… I'm sorry- I just… AGH…!" The Lich's core was slowly gaining cracks in my hands, the Ghoul and the Orc Zombie tried to stop me with their please.

"P-Please have mercy!"

"The Old Lich was simply trying to protect it because… If it fell into the wrong hands, that world would be plundered and-"

"So what if its plundered?" I sighed. "Why are you so worried about that? Shouldn't you be worrying about yourselves? You lack the strength to even protect yourselves and you think you can somehow save another world? I will take whatever I want."

Crack, crack…!

CRAAASH!

The Lich's core shattered into pieces, the two Undead cried, if they could cry, tears would be flowing from their eyes. However, I patted their heads and then. "{Summon Undead}"

FLASH!

The Lich was remade completely, his soul was intact, so I just used it back into his new body. He seemed surprised he came back out of nowhere.

"W-What happened…?! Ah!" He stepped back in utter horror as he saw me.

"That's a much better reaction. Now, bring me to the gate fragment. Now."

"Y-Yes! Of course…"
