Finally, the planet's surface was covered by the towering God Tree. With its enormous branches and sturdy trunk, it stood tall in its place. The whiteness of its bark and the vivid red petals adorning its branches emphasized its ethereal beauty.
The God Tree stood at the center of a crimson ocean, a vast expanse composed of blood. The land surrounding it lay in ruin, blackened and charred by the destructive flames of Tiamat's dragon fire.
Tiiamat gazed at Yumi God Tree form and could not not contain her excitement. "Yumi's God tree form is really beautiful. It might seem strange to others, but having her surrounded by a crimson ocean of blood is so cool."
Su Yang struggled to contain her laughter at Tia's comment, but eventually burst into uncontrollable giggles.
Yukari joined in as well. Yes, Tia, Yumi looks really beautiful here." Su Yang chimed in, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Yes, Yumi is incredibly cute and beautiful in every form she takes."
Finally, Yukari cut off the projection she was broadcasting because she accomplished what she wanted, she fear in everyone.
In a similar manner to when she had cast Infinite Tsukukiyomi on the moon, she floated above the God Tree and created a large portal. When the sky split open, it revealed a jagged, purple portal through which a floating island started to take shapeone of many numerous floating islands in Yukari's main dimension.
As the island fully emerged, a sinister structure came into view, standing prominently on the island's surface. It was a vacant structure, a prototype of Yukari's main castle, but in stark contrast to the white aesthetics of her castle her mother created, this one exuded an eerie blackness.
Dark shadows were cast across the landscape by the castle's ominous aura. All who saw this ominous castle, perched on a floating island in the middle of a blood-red ocean, felt their spines tingle. Fear spread throughout the world as the entire area around the God Tree and the castle was declared a restricted area.
Yukari, Tia, and Su Yang made their way towards the ominous castle, leaving Seraphina behind to guard the God Tree. As they floated through the air, Yukari couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her from below.
She turned her head, expecting to find Seraphina observing them, but to her surprise, Seraphina remained perfectly still, as if frozen in time. Yukari couldn't help but let out a sigh, wondering if she was losing her mind.
Tia interjected, "I wonder how much gold and treasure this world holds." Yukari and Su Yang exchanged amused glances, leaving Tia bewildered. Yukari playfully swatted Tia's butt, causing her to yelp.
Meanwhile, Su Yang erupted into laughter at Tia's remark. Wincing from the swat, Tia shot Yukari a mock glare and added, "It's not just about that!" She winked mischievously, hinting at more. Yukari giggled at Tia's response and teased, "Are you a gold digger?"
Blushing, Su Yang joined in, "Yukari, are you going to start experimenting with natural energy?" Yukari's grin widened at Su Yang's quick guess. "Always perceptive, Yuier," she responded. "Natural energy is one of the topics, but there's more."
In a secluded pocket dimension, a grand chamber housed the God of Darkness and the Goddess of Light. The air carried a weight of urgency as the Goddess of Light, her expression marked by worry, addressed her husband. "The impending destruction of our world looms closer, my love. We must consider our options carefully."
The God of Darkness, his countenance grim, nodded solemnly. "Yes, my dear. But we must tread cautiously. The Otsutsuki are a formidable force, and our previous encounter showed us their power."
His wife's eyes shimmered with determination. "Yet, we cannot simply stand aside and watch our world crumble."
The God of Darkness sighed he was concerned whether to fleed this world. There last encounter between Otsutsukis showed them the harsh reality that they were weak and escaping the boundries of their own world was direct elimation.
He spoke solemnly, "Direct intervention risks the wrath of the Otsutsuki. We've witnessed their capabilities firsthand."
"Agreed," the Goddess of Light acknowledged. "But perhaps we can empower the inhabitants of our world. Strengthen them to the point where they can confront this threat themselves."
Her husband's gaze met hers, a spark of recognition in his eyes. "Empower them... indirectly. Yes, that might be our best course of action. We have limited this world's potential for our benefit, but they might be our only hope in confronting this threat, but you must know the chance of them winning is minimal."
The Goddess of Light nodded, her voice firm. "Yea, you must remember that before we confronted Outsutski, we had traveled to many worlds. I think it is best we seek assistance from outsiders, especially those with unlimited potential."
Her husband's lips curled into a rare smile. "Your wisdom shines once again, my love. I will start the process of summoning them, they will be weak, but with our direct guidance, they can rival our strength."
Within their serene resting room, Yukari and her companions savored rare relaxation. Yukari reclined on a bean bag, while Tia rested closely beside her, content and serene. Across the room, Su Yang immersed herself in a book, occasionally stealing glances at Yukari and Tiamat, longing for the same closeness
Unaware of the turmoil beyond, Yukari's family found joy in each other's company, seemingly shielded from the chaos unfolding in the wider world. Meanwhile, outside forces concocted desperate plans, and the Gods deliberated the fate of their realm.
