Gabriel looks around the white surrounding and sighs a little. He knows that something is happening because the last thing he does is go to sleep after fighting the Heretic God. When he decides to walk around the area, he gets tackled by someone. He looks down and sees a young woman hugging his back. This woman is a stepmother, Pandora.
"Gabriel, So you decide to visit !"
"Hello, Pandora"
"No! Call me, mother or mama!"
Gabriel smiles a little at his mother and says.
"Very well, mother!"
Pandora's smile becomes wider than before then hugs him more tightly than before.
"So! Why do you decide to visit me?"
"Hmmm, I don't know. The last thing I do is get to sleep after I defeat Si Boru Deak Parujar earlier. I thought you were the one inviting me to come in here."
"No, your lonely feeling makes you come here. Even right now, I can feel your feelings begging for mother's attention."
"... I guess you are right. I don't have a good relationship with my parents."
"Then talk to me! I will listen to your story!"
"Maybe later, mother."
"Awwww."
Gabriel smiled a little at her behavior before saying.
"How about you telling me a story?"
"Ah! You are right! There is a time when I…."
Gabriel keeps listening to Pandora 's story about her adventure with her husband. He enjoyed the energetic voice of his new mother and the relaxing aura in this place. Gabriel decides that he will visit from time to time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Princess Alice, the White Hime-Miko, the Sage Princess, Speaker of the Witenagemot, currently feeling quite frustrated. Her long blonde hair framing her beautiful features, which currently locked into a pout, as her green eyes stared past the window of her bedroom.
The source of her frustration and aggravation was centered upon a single individual, more specifically, a Devil-king. That by itself was hardly noteworthy; after all, she was unfortunately very well acquaintanced with feelings of frustration and exasperation caused by the antics of the Children of Pandora.
However, this time around, it was not caused by the so-called Black Prince of the British Empire. The source of her frustration is from the newest Campione, The Dragon of the East, Gabriel.
Gabriel, and that's it. He doesn't have a middle or even last name. That is the only thing she knows about the newest Campione. No official past can be seen in the mundane archive or the magical archive.
Alice only can think of a few things to connect with the newest Campione. The first one, Gabriel, is a mundane underworld lord that has all his past erased by the help of a well-known hacker in the underworld. The next thing is Lord Gabriel is a former member of some organization that works in the field of spy or espionage. The other thing that comes into her mind is Lord Gabriel is a former slave that gets kidnapped by some slave traders but later gets free by killing his first Heretic God.
There is also the problem of knowing his first Heretic God. They can only get a little bit of knowledge knowing the abilities of the Dragon Campione. The first thing they have is his ability to change into a Dragon hence his moniker, the Dragon of the East. She uses her Hime Miko ability to look at his Authority and can only see a word that says 'Lung' and nothing more. With this information, they know that Lung is the Chinese Dragon that symbolizes Royalty in China. However, Lord Gabriel transformed into a western dragon, not an eastern dragon. They can guess that Lung has a connection to the western dragon, but other than that, nothing else. There is also his ability to grow more powerful each second Lord Gabriel fights the Heretic God that makes her worried.
Alice can only sigh thinking about the newest Campione. While that information gave a little bit of a headache to her, it was not the source of her irritation. The source of her irritation is the said mere presence that causes her plan that she created for years to be destroyed beyond recognition.
It was not that she had lost her gift of clairvoyance; she could still gaze past the veils of the present and watch the shadowy glimpses of the future with the same ease as ever. No, the problem was that all her painstakingly made plans for the future, built upon dozens, if not hundreds, of carefully made uses of her Seer powers, were now completely useless, as the future itself drastically changed from its original course. Rendering all previous views and whatever information she may have acquired is completely useless.
It was almost like Lord Gabriel's very presence had completely altered the flow of history and changed the result of the future.
While sighing once again, thinking about the newest Campione. One of Alice's assistants comes to her room and says,
"My Lady, there is a report about the sixth Campione successfully slaying a Heretic God that appears in one of Indonesia Island."
"Very Well"
She creates a body double of herself to go to the meeting while her real body rests in her room. She orders her double to go with her assistant while she sits down on her bed using her clairvoyance to see the future once more.
"At least, this Campione is more responsible than the other"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eka looked at his subordinates before saying.
"The situation?"
"Good, sir. Because of His Majesty's New Authority, Palembang became the most fertile island in Indonesia. We send many agents that have a specialty in agriculture to begin planting our medical herb in Palembang soil."
"Good. Has His Majesty said about the cooldown of his Authority?"
"Yes, sir. His Majesty says that it will take him another month to use his Authority."
"Are you the one that asked it to His Majesty?"
"No, sir. Like usual, His Majesty knows it without us saying it."
"Very well, Dismiss."
After seeing his subordinate walk away from his office, Eka rests his head on the table while thinking about the aftermath of the battle between Si Boru Deak Parujar and Lord Gabriel.
While the fight doesn't have any casualty but it still causes a massive crater in the area. The creature is because of Lord Gabriel dragon power and also because Si Boru Deak Parujar manipulates the plant in the area.
When they are about to fix the area, Lord Gabriel stops them and decides to use his newest ability that he got after slaying Si Boru Deak Parujar. One of his subordinates says that Lord Gabriel Authority is [Blessing of Mother Nature]. It was an Authority that blesses the land that Lord Gabriel called his own. This Authority makes the land that he uses his Authority to become more fertile and make its land able to grow any kind of plant on its soil. It also shortens the growth time of the plant by half.
With this sort of event, Indonesia can become the supplier of medical herb to the other country, including some plants that have magic properties, including some of the more rare magical plants.
Eka hopes that no one makes Lord Gabriel angry or decides to manipulate him. While His Majesty cares for his people, he also has the behavior of a Dragon that is easy to anger and possessive of all things he calls his own.
He sighs a little before opening up a book that Lord Gabriel gave them. The loot of war that he got from Italy. The Book in Praise of David's Works, the book that teaches the other about a spell that is capable of slaying a Heretic God. He opens up a copy of the original while the Original is with His Majesty.
He only hopes that he can enjoy this peaceful experience forever, but he knows that it is impossible because of his position in this organization. He decided to enjoy his time as much as he can.
