Bab 107: Ch.104 - The Aftermath!

[Heyo, I'm back. I have a very important announcement at the end of the chapter, so make sure to read it.]

|-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_|

It took a few seconds before the light explosion subsided. Except for the tall walls of Arendelle standing still without an ounce of damage. The entire area around the Kingdom turned into something akin to a wasteland.

There's nothing that can be seen around except for dirt and ashes.

The trees, grasses and even the poor animals were eradicated thanks to the Angel's self destruction.

"What have you done." Jin shook his head with regret after seeing the aftermath of the explosion. If only he knew what would have happened, he would have grabbed the Angel then and there and threw him outside the planet in space.

"I'll check them out if they're okay." Jin said to himself before flying down towards the Kingdom, still donning his Devil form.

As he entered Arendelle and slowly landed on the ground, he couldn't help but feel annoyed as everyone's eyes were on him.

"What are you all looking at?" Jin snarled at them and they quickly looked away and resumed doing their own things. Treating Jin as if he wasn't there to begin with, much to Jin's relief.

"Jin!" Among the women, Tigress was the first one to approach him and engulf him in a hug, all while planting her head on his neck while sniffing at the same time.

*Sniff!*

"I thought you were going away again." Tigress whimpered in worry.

"I ain't going anywhere this time. It's not that easy to get rid of me." Jin replied with a slight chuckle.

Rapunzel and Elsa soon followed and hugged Jin on both of his arms while expressing their concerns over him.

'Why does this feel like some generic ass harem anime?' Jin's face twitched when he felt his arms being engulfed by their slightly moderate bosoms.

"Like I said, I'm fine. It's just a few scratches here and there." Jin assured them that he's fine.

"How about that glowing chicken? Did you kill him?" Tigress's eyes glowed at the mention of Jin's enemy even though she didn't specifically mention the Angel's name just a nickname that she wanted to say just to vent off her frustration. Although this day wasn't that grand to her but to Rapunzel and Elsa, this day is very special as they would learn and follow the footsteps of their parents.

"The Angel? He's dead, you don't have to worry about him. Though he didn't die by my hands as you can see." Jin said while gesturing to the wasteland outside that was caused thanks to a certain glowing chicken.

"Why? What happened?" This time, it was Elsa's turn to be curious, so she asked and Jin shall answer.

"He killed himself. He kind of overloaded himself in his own energy before eventually causing a large explosion using his body as a shell." Jin simply explained in layman's terms.

"Why would he do that? It's idiotic." Elsa was confused and exclaimed.

"I have no idea. He probably thought he could take me down along with him just as I was about to kill him." Jin answered with a shrug of his shoulders. To be honest, he was expecting a very challenging fight against the Angel. He was expecting himself to be bloodied and injured all over his body while using his will to stand strong.

Unfortunately, his expectations on Angels were too exaggerated.

He even thought that he would finally be able to use his Demonic Energy just to fight off the Angel, thus revealing his existence to the multiverse once again. Too bad the Angel that he fought this time is probably some low-level grunt or minion.

"What now? I'm sure after this, the world will fall into chaos. Devils and Angels existence will not only cause everyone to doubt their views on the world but it will also enlarge the church's influence. I'm sure they'll take advantage of this even to paint themselves as the only people that could protect the world from the Devil." As expected of Elsa, despite being locked in a room for years, her quick thinking and hunch reminds Jin that Elsa has a royal blood coursing through her veins so he shouldn't be surprised that she could predict the outcome of this large event.

"That's simple. We make our own religion." Jin said with a smile.

"What? How would we do that?" She asked.

"Although I wasn't looking at what the Angel did while I brought you to a safe place earlier but I'm sure those guys aren't blind and saw the brutal ways that the Angel showed earlier. Do you think they will worship someone who kills and doesn't care about their lives?" Jin continued as a reply while pointing his finger towards the royal Kings, Queens and Prince/Princesses from the other kingdom who were the ones to witness the Angel's vicious and cruel actions.

"You'll build your own cult?!" Elsa finally realized what Jin was thinking, though her other side of the brain thinks that his plan might not only work but would also overthrow those arrogant church people who think that their religion should be the only one people should worship.

As the Princess of Arendelle, Elsa has read the history of the Kingdom including those of the church people. She knows how cruel and brutal they are just to imprint and force their belief on other people.

Due to that, the church's influence diminished slightly with the help of several Kingdoms who were dissatisfied with them.

However, although their influence was cut off by the Alliance but just because their influence on the world decreased doesn't mean they're gone. In fact, they're still pursuing their old ways of imprinting their belief on the people except that they're more discreet this time instead of doing it in the open like in the past.

"It's not a cult. We're just building our own religion to fight off the church's plan to influence the world." Jin corrected Elsa and explained.

"What will be the name of your religion then?" This time, it was Rapunzel who asked as she has been curious since the moment he mentioned building his own religion.

"....." Jin was quiet for a few seconds, before eventually coming up with the best name he could think of.

"Nether. Nether Religion." Jin smiled to himself and revealed the name. He felt like the name suits him the most. Since the Nether word means bottom or lower. However, that doesn't mean that Jin is lower or something since he's a devil and a devil resides on the lower world or in other terms, the Underworld.

"Nether.... It's good." Tigress nodded her head in agreement.

[A/N: If you're a Christian or something, hopefully this chapter doesn't offend you or something. Just to remind you that this is a work of fiction, so I never meant to offend someone from Christianity or God himself.]

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's do it!" Rapunzel jumped around in excitement.

"Hold your horses. It's not confirmed yet. We'll have to see what the church will do and if Elsa's guess turns out to be right, then that's when we'll make our move but for now. Let's just prepare." Jin quickly stopped her and explained, popping off her excitement.

"He's right. Making new religion is too risky. Although the influence of the church has diminished, that doesn't mean they don't have the necessary power to fight us before we could even build our own religion." Elsa nodded her head in agreement and explained to Rapunzel the reason why.

"Let's help around first." Jin noticed that some of the civilians who were affected by the sudden fight were having a hard time adjusting and adapting, so he proceeded to help them along with the rest of his girls.

***

A whole day has passed and the guests from other Kingdoms were back on their feet and expressed their gratitude to Jin and the rest for saving them.

This gave Jin some hope that his plan of making his own religion might come to fruition. Now, all that's left is to determine the church's next move.

While they were helping in the Kingdom, word of what happened here quickly spread across the entire continent.

Aside from the other Kingdoms who were just shocked and wanted to know more about what happened, the citizens of Thalassar Kingdom rejoiced after hearing the news of their King's death from the hands of the Kingly brothers, Agnarr and Frederic.

It turns out, the Thalassar Kingdom has been secretly suffering from the rule of their King, Morn.

Morn has been ruling his kingdom with an iron hand and those who try to rebel against him were quickly executed on the spot. What surprised Jin was the fact that Morn was able to hide his wrongdoings despite being under the flag of the Alliance.

Just you know, it's not easy to enter the alliance as having an equitable personality is a must. Once the alliance finds out that you're a corrupt person who abuses his power, they wouldn't hesitate to kick you out of the alliance.

Now, thanks to Morn's betrayal against the alliance in which he thought he would win, the Thalassar Kingdom was freed from its cruel ruler.

***

"What?!" Meanwhile, Jin was shocked to discover that Agnarr announced that Elsa will soon be crowned as a Queen next year, giving her some time to prepare and gather some experience.

"I- I don't know why papa decided on that but he said that during the events yesterday, he was afraid that he would leave this world someday and he was worried about the Kingdom and us. So, while he's still alive and kicking, he wanted to train and prepare me for becoming Arendelle's Queen." Elsa stuttered and explained everything to Jin.

[Well, after the sports fest and foundation day. Guess what, I fell sick and so far it's getting worse and worse. That's why I have a deal for you guys.]

[How about I mass release 5 chapters on Monday tomorrow, and in return, I get a whole week break?]

[In layman's terms 5 chapters on Monday and no more chapters until the end of the week, just so I can recover myself back to full health.]

[Doesn't sound bad, no?]

Bab 108: Ch. 105 - Postponing the Nether Plan. Preparing for the next world

[As I promised, you get 5 chapters at the same time, I get the entire week off. Hopefully I still get 5 chapters worth of power stones]

|-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_|

"Jin, I-I don't think I'm ready to become a Queen. I'm nervous." Elsa didn't hesitate to express her worries to Jin. After months of getting to know him, she already sees Jin as someone she could trust with her entire heart.

"Don't be nervous. Although I don't have any experience with that, I feel like you're going to do just fine." Jin tries to assure her however, he sighs when he sees that Elsa was still nervous.

"I don't have the experience to become one and why does papa have to retire so early. He's still in his forties isn't he?" Elsa grabbed a handful of her hair and complained before slumping off on his bed with her face staring at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Jin was deep in thought. Trying to find ways to help Elsa on her problem.

"I'm not fit to become a Queen!" Elsa grabbed a pillow nearby before burying her face with it and yelled.

"This is so unlike you, Elsa. I can see that you're really worried about this." Jin approached Elsa and sat next to her on the bed.

"What do you mean by that?" Elsa removed the pillow and turned to look at him with a confused expression on her face.

"You see. If a person is truly nervous about something. You will see it from the way he acts. If it is different from normal, then that means the person is really worried and overthinking about the problem." Jin gave advice that he picked up on thanks to his Uncle Iroh Template.

"What should I do then? If I become a Queen, would I really be able to rule the Kingdom like my father?" Elsa expressed her worries to him.

"That's the problem here, Elsa. Don't think of following the same path as your father did, you don't have to rule the same rule that he did." Jin said and when he saw Elsa's confused face, he sighed and changed it in layman's terms so she could understand.

"All I'm saying is just be you. Don't change what you are just because you feel like it is unfit." Jin then held Elsa's hand as he spoke with his eyes staring directly at hers.

"Really?" Elsa felt touched by his words and can't help but feel a fluffy feeling raging on her chest.

At this point, their relationship is very close. In fact, Jin felt like Elsa was already considering him as her lover, it's just that it is not yet official.

"....I think I have a solution to your problem." Jin then squinted his eyes as realization dawned upon him before expressing his solution to Elsa.

"Really! What is it!?" Elsa quickly got up from the bed and sat before looking at Jin with excitement, eagerly waiting for the solution that he thought of.

"Do you remember what Tigress told you when I disappeared after the battle with that devil?" Jin first asked while Elsa placed her fingers under her chin, trying to remember what Jin was talking about.

"That I am an Agent of God?" Seeing that Elsa was having a hard time recalling her memory, Jin decided to juggle it up a bit.

"Oh, I remember!" After hearing what Jin said, as if the switch was triggered, Elsa quickly remembered what Tigress told her that day.

The day when she was about to blame herself for being the reason why Jin 'died' or so she thought.

Even though she doesn't completely believe her at that time but after witnessing everything that Jin has done, she felt like an idiot for doubting Tigress's words back then.

"So, everything about you fighting in this Great War is real?" Elsa asked in validation.

"....Yes." Although Jin wanted to say 'No' since there's really no 'Great War' that is going to happen however, since God already said so to them, he could only nod his head and say 'Yes'.

"....So, what is the connection of all this to the solution that you were talking about?" After getting everything registered in her head, she finally asked the last question.

"Like what Tigress told you, I'm going to need companions to accompany me when I travel to another world. Which is why I'm giving you an invitation...." Jin answered and then stood up while placing his hand forward, asking for Elsa to take it.

"Would you like to join me in my adventure?"

***

"Why would you do that to her?" Meanwhile, in a large royal bedroom full of expensive ornaments and jewelries, Iduna was flabbergasted when she heard what Agnarr did.

"I want her to learn and mature early. I'm afraid that If she idles any longer than she is now, she won't grow up to be a responsible Queen to Arendelle. I am just helping her." Agnarr tried to reason it out however, Iduna wasn't having any of it.

"She's still 18! She must first reach her 21 before she could partake with politics and the Kingdom." Iduna heled her face in disappointment while Agnarr sighed. Looks like he would be sleeping on the couch tonight.

"Just let me handle this, okay? I know what I'm doing." Agnarr stands and held Iduna's shoulders as he tries to reassure her.

"If something bad happens to Elsa because of your decision, I swear I will never talk to you again!" Iduna pointed her finger directly at Agnarr's face before loudly declaring over him.

Agnarr could only sigh and wish that Elsa would be able to learn everything she needed to learn throughout the entire year before she becomes the Queen.

***

While Iduna and Agnarr were fighting it out, Jin narrated everything to Elsa about his plan and thankfully, she not only find it plausible but was even excited about it.

Basically, the plan is for Jin, Rapunzel, Elsa and Tigress to leave this world for the next world where Elsa would have all the time she needed to learn everything on how to become a proper Queen. To be honest, this plan wouldn't be feasible if it weren't for the fact that the time stops in this world when Jin leaves, just like what happened to Tigress's world.

"Are we going now?" Elsa asked while approaching her large cabinet to take the necessary stuffs that she needs for the next world.

"I'll call Rapunzel and Tigress first." Jin replied before standing up from the bed and walked out of the room.

'Why does this situation feels like those romance novels that I read in the library where the Princess was burdened with force marriage and has to run away from home with her secret lover.' Elsa blushed while imagining in her mind that she's a fragile princess who were forced to marry a prince that she doesn't love from other Kingdom and during so, she met a commoner who she fell in love with and that commoner is none other than Jin himself.

"What are you thinking Elsa!" Elsa clasped her cheeks with both of her hands while reprimanding herself at the same time.

'With everything that has happened, I'm sure he's just waiting for me to express my feelings to him so we could our relationship official.' Elsa remarked while looking at the door where Jin left through with complicated but determined look on her face.

***

Meanwhile, after leaving Elsa's room, Jin walked around the halls, searching for Rapunzel and Tigress.

'At this time, they're probably still helping around outside.' Jin said to himself, so he changed his directiok and started walking through the front door when he suddenly stumbled upon a little minx.

*Thud!*

Quickly grabbing her arms, Jin finally got a good look in who he stumbled to and saw Anna with a bulging cheeks.

"Anna? What are you doing? What's with the face?" Jin first helped Anna stand on her feet before asking questions.

However, instead of answering his question, Anna suddenly panicked and shook her head repeatedly before evading Jin and ran past him.

*Thud!* x10

She didn't ran too long before several chocolates in wrappers started falling from her dress to the floor.

Turning around and seeing that Jin was looking at her in suspicion, Anna awkwardly smiled with her mouth still bulging before quickly crouching, picking up every chocolate pieces that fell on the floor.

If Jin wasn't looking at her, he'd thought that the chocolates on the floor mysteriously started disappearing.

As soon as the chocolates were gone from the floor, Anna hurriedly scurried off but not before flashing a 'hush' gesture towards Jin.

Jin could only sigh and nod his head.

"Just brush your teeth soon after." Jin reminded her as he stared at her running figure.

"Jin?" Just as Anna disappeared from his sight, he suddenly heard Tigress's voice behind him.

Turning around, he raised an eyebrow when he saw several shopping bags that are hanging around their limbs and necks.

"Where were you and what are those?" Jin asked, referring to the several shopping bags on their possession.

"A new clothing store just opened up, so we decided to come and visit. Why do you ask?" Rapunzel replied before asking in return.

"Let's have a talk. It's important." Jin approached them and took several shopping bags beside carrying them. He's proper gentleman, especially towards his women.

***

"We're leaving?!" After telling Rapunzel and Tigress about Elsa's matter.

"There's nothing to be worried about. Time will simply stop as usual when we leave the world, so except for us aging, nothing will change here while we're gone." Jin assured them as he thought that they're worried about what will happen while they're gone.

"That's not the reason why we're worried. We were worried for Elsa. Even Il have to reach the age of 21 before I could train and partake in politics." Rapunzel answered.

"So, are we going now?" Tigress asked, although she felt sad in leaving this world as she has already grown attached to several people but thankfully, time will stop so she doesn't have anything to worry about.

"I'll ask God about it first." Since he decided this for himself, Jin doesn't know if God will agree to it, so he needed to ask for his permission first.

Just as Jin mentioned God, the world once again went into a halt except for Jin.
