- Upper-Class Delga Planet, Thousand Light Years Away from Planet Hermitages -

35 divine beings have gathered, and more were coming.

One of these divine beings was the Divine Owl, she was a female who could not only camouflage herself by being part of the environment but also completely hide her mana and aura. She was one of the divine beings best at camouflaging themselves.

'That villainous golden fox, he doesn't know that I've been spying on everything he's done, though I've seen some and missed others, I'm pretty sure he's behind the sudden rise in Diocese's rankings.' Near a tree, shaped like an owl, more precisely, disguising herself and going unnoticed, Venerable Elvira hid and watched everyone, waiting for the right moment to unmask Theo.

When more than 100 divine beings arrive, Venerable Elvira starts to approach. She advances step by step and soon becomes visible.

Some were taken by surprise, as they didn't even feel her arrival, but when they saw who it was, they sighed in relief, as she was well known for her camouflage. Then, venerable Elvira opened her mouth and began to say, "Guys, listen to me! The culprit of this..."

Time froze, her mouth opened, and gaped wide with everyone staring at them frozen in time.

As fast as a beam of golden light, Theo grabbed her and threw her into the [Dimensional Room] and entered.

Time turned again.

"Oh? Where's Little Venerable Elvira?"  Saint Diocese, with a turtle shell on her back, who was next to her, sighed and shook her head. She knew Venerable Elvira and knew she loved to play pranks, and what happened seemed like just another one of her pranks. Mainly saying something important and disappearing in front of everyone.

Even though they knew she was around, it was hard for them to find her. And it seems that she has improved even more, as she left no traces.

"She learned a new trick and wanted to show off?" One of the male divine beings who didn't like Venerable Elvira snorted coldly.

"Well, you know how it is; she's still childish." Another smirked; it was completely normal to see her do something like that, although they must say they're surprised she didn't do anything in front of Theo Volts, the golden fox who had recently shocked them all.

In the [Dimensional Room].

"Damn, I've never seen her before; how did she do that?" Theo walked in and looked at Venerable Elvira, who was trying to hide by becoming semi-transparent as if she were made of water. You could see through her, but she wasn't completely invisible.

"It's no use; I'm the King. The moment you walk in here, your life is in my hands." Theo scoffed at her futile attempt to hide again, and just as she tried to run towards his children, Theo scoffed again.

Chains suddenly appeared and trapped her by her wings and paws.

"I said it's no use; you're not able to compete with me outside, let alone within my domain." Theo said with a predatory smile, "I admit, you hid very well, you fooled me right, and you almost screwed up. Well, I must congratulate you for that..."

Venerable Elvira saw Isis and Helena as soon as she entered the [Dimensional Room], and now in this situation, she despairs, "Saint Isis, Saint Helena, please save me!"

"When I said this is my domain, I meant literally. I can control everything and use everything to my will here." Theo said with the same predatory smile, "Besides, do you really believe the two of them will want to save you?"

"Yes, they will! They're not mean like you!"

"..."

The way she spoke and screamed made Theo suspicious; it was the same timbre of voice his children had when they spoke. It was childish, and not in the same way as Isis, who, despite looking like a loli, doesn't have a childish voice. Does she remember an anime Theo saw in his past life? Was it about a goddess? I think that was it, she is a beautiful loli with a not so childish and sexy voice. Despite not liking loli, Theo admits it was stimulating.

Turning back to the owl girl, Theo walked over and placed his hand on her owl head. He also noticed the peculiar look of Helena and Isis upon seeing Venerable Elvira asking for help.

"No, don't come closer!" Venerable Elvira was visibly afraid, shaking her owlish head from side to side until suddenly, she stopped struggling.

Minutes later...

"Sigh~" Theo expected her to be young, yes she really was, but he didn't...

"What is it, Theo?" Yuki felt that Theo got sad after reading the owl's memories and asked with a worried look and hugged him when she saw that he wasn't well.

"That girl suffered a lot..." Theo said pityingly, "What she went through is a thousand times worse than what Alice's mother had to go through (Cleopatra)."

"No, no, I'm not a sad girl; no need to pity me!" The owl with honey-colored eyes and gray fur with silver accents said with tears and sobbed.

Even though it's not strong, she starts to give off a dark aura, which was something that shouldn't come from someone who wasn't even in the Venerable Realm. The air around her turned suffocating and gloomy, she seemed to be in utter despair, and she kept crying and screaming out loud to find that the memories she so much didn't want to think about and so wanted to forget had been spied upon.

Seeing that his children were getting scared, Theo pointed a hand at Elvira and made her pass out.

"What exactly happened to her?" Yuki could only imagine the worst after seeing the reaction and the way Theo acted. Mainly the way Elvira got to know her memories had been spied on.

"I'd rather you not know." Theo shook his head and sighed, "What she has gone through is something I don't even wish for my worst enemy."

"…Saying this only made me more curious, but okay. I won't insist." Yuki said softly.

Helena and the rest listened too, and from the way Theo spoke, even a layman could tell that Elvira had been through frightening things.

Isis approached and asked in a casual tone, "What do you intend to do?"

"I'm going to erase the memories related to me, you all, and the [Dimensional Room]. I want her to be happy, although it's the first time I've seen her, as a father, it breaks my heart to see the suffering she went through and for her never to have been truly happy." Theo said, "What she shows is a facade of her happiness, she wants to be positive despite everything. That's why she creates jokes and pranks, but that also makes other divine beings hate and even mock her. Anyway, she went through a lot. So I'll let her go after I make her forget what needs to be forgotten."

"Even the memories she was suffering from?" Isis didn't know what she went through, but the way Theo portrayed it, she didn't even dare imagine what she had to go through.

"That I will ask her directly." Theo said, "The one who harmed her was three male beings that she trusted… She lived for 2,000 years in pure pain and suffering, which she went through, and something that I just feel angry at the thought of. "

Taking a deep breath, Theo said, "So yes, I'll let her choose, that's not for me to decide, and she's not my enemy, she just believed she was doing the right thing and wanted to warn the other gods about me. To some extent, I can be a great villain, but I never wanted to play the good guy; I prioritize my interests, and I'm extremely selfish. I do what I feel like doing, just as I regret what she went through and don't wish anymore to kill her, even though I was about to kill her a few seconds ago."

"Who says you need to be a hero or something?" Yuki said with a small smile: "Do what you want to do, don't limit yourself, that's for sure. Why limit yourself to other people's standards? Even if you think something is right, there will always be someone who thinks it's wrong, no matter how noble your deed. For example, what you did to the island; you selfishly took everyone to another planet. Did they benefit from it? Yes, of course, they did, but did they want to? Of course, some didn't, especially when they got separated from their families. But does it matter? No. You did what you wanted to do. If they had the strength, they could just leave. But, if they want to find their relatives again, it's simple, they get strong and go on their own back to their home planet."

"I support what Yuki said." Zaika said, "If they want to complain because they are weak, if they want to change their destiny, let them become strong and do it themselves."

"By the way, because we're stuck in this conversation, we all know you're a big villain~" Ariana chuckled.

"Well..." Theo chuckled awkwardly but then smiled frankly, "Thanks, I was happy after hearing that."
