"Shocked that it was me who called you?"

"Instead of Mai, a.r.s.eia or your beloved DARK G.o.dDESS RU?".

As he was hearing more of Ange's words, he was steaming with sudden rage, making him to grit his teeth. Though, he tried to control his composure, so he just responded complacently,

"Yeah...who knew you have a nice voice over the phone..."

"By the way...err...is Ru, mom and Mai there?".

Ange replies,

"Hold on...".

There was a long gap of silence from the phone, it seemed Ru was truly in Ange's place in a dire situation. Sooner or later, he heard Ru's charming voice such as she was a worried princess,

"Hey there Zera..."

"Oh it seems we came into a pinch here..."

"Also she is kinda desperate now..."

"For now that plush d—".

Suddenly, Ru's voice was interrupted by Mai's furious voice,

"Zen, Ange's nuts..."

"She put us like birds here, in a frickin' cage..."

"Come here fast...".

A little while later, he heard a.r.s.eia's voice filled with motherly concern this time,

"Zen...my son...I guess I underestimated Angehime's and Na.s.sus's stubbornness..."

"Sorry but, you'll have to do something on your own here...".

There was a long noise of distorted silence afterwards. Soon, Ange spoke to him,

"Yeah...did you hear each of their voices?"

"Seems you're their only ho—"

"Ahhh! Na.s.sus...hah...stop that...hahn aahhhn♪...".

Though, her sarcastic voice over the phone was suddenly interrupted for some reason. It's as if Zeran was hearing her womanly moans dipped in spearmint licorice instead. It seemed she wasn't on her own, rather she was accompanied by a third party that she had spoken of. She ended the call immediately, turning Zeran to be isolated in his own s.p.a.ce. His face looked numb and his sheer cold hand dropped the phone due to the recent news he had heard. He let out a grinning smile that was almost in the verge of losing sanity and he expressed with a forceful laugh,

"This can't be happening right?!"

"RIGHT?!"

"HHHAHAHAHA...".

His hands were holding his head, as he was uncertain in his thoughts,

("What should I do now? Mom...Mai...and my love Ru...".)

Suddenly, the Ru plush doll came out from the kitchen. It went near him, although it lowered down it's sad head, since it was witnessing that he was lost inside his thoughts. More than that, the plush doll noticed that Zeran was letting out pitiful tears, since he doesn't know what to do next. Thereon, it jumped unto his shoulder and rubbed Zeran's head with its soft arm. Zeran felt like that Ru was patting his head, trying to calm him down and letting him to think clearly, even though her plush doll was the one doing the said action. He was feeling kinda relaxed and he had stopped leaking out tears of hopelessness from the abyss. He took a glance at the plush doll that was on his left shoulder and uttered out her name,

"Ru?".

The Ru plush doll nodded in response. Zeran grabbed it. He was wreathed in sweet petals, as he was lifting the plush doll and kept staring at it. His tensed self calmed down. He embraced it such as he was embracing his beloved dark G.o.ddess Ru, making him to be determined even in his thoughts,

("I guess...she's still here...")

("As a plush doll.")

(I almost went insane back there...")

("Now to plan carefully...")

("And use my wits with all I got...").

In Ru's situation, she was accompanied by a.r.s.eia and Mai. They were barred inside a huge birdcage made of impervious divine golden steel that was made to capture divinities or deities, in which the words that Mai had said to Zeran recently was correct on all points. The birdcage was hanging above the all-white sanctuary of light G.o.ddess Ange. Strangely enough, Na.s.sus and Ange were nowhere to be found. Sooner or later, Ru sighed and let out her questions,

"I was wondering..."

"How'd Na.s.sus break off from that DEEP PLEASURE SLEEP of a queen succubus G.o.ddess like Niara..."

"It would take months to wear that off...".

Mai comments,

"What else do you think?".

Mai's troubling question made Ru to make a wild guess inside her thoughts. A little while later, Ru clasped her hands with energetic vibe and answered Mai's sensitive question, while Ru was twitching her foxy ears,

"Ohhh! I guess Ange's lewd instincts kicked in...".

As Mai and a.r.s.eia heard Ru's answer, they nodded in respect to her speculation.

At the other side of the holy sanctuary of light G.o.ddess Ange, G.o.ddess Otorine was sitting on a golden white arching bed. It was engraved with golden ornaments and design. The fluttering golden fireflies and b.u.t.terflies were like living spirits flowing into the sea of air. Otorine was nearly getting dressed in her kimono for some reason. Then, she tightened her obi sash. As for Na.s.sus, he was sitting on the floor. Otorine looked to the right and saw Ange walking near her. Later, Ange spoke to Otorine in a composed manner,

"It seems you were the only one who was able to awaken him..."

"Out of his G.o.dDESS WIVES and me..."

"Now that you're done waking him from his slumber...I guess—".

Suddenly, Otorine stood up with all her brazen feelings, proving her love and possesion for her dear lover, while she swayed out her hand, denying Ange's request, as she shouted,

"NO!"

"I SHALL TAKE Na.s.sUS AWAY FROM YOU AND HEAL AWAY HIS SCARS!".

Na.s.sus was very surprised over Otorine's sudden expressiveness. He was noticing that his serene G.o.ddess Otorine had changed drastically. Her eyes were filled with seething emotions against Ange, proving Otorine's denial. His depiction of her as a calm, supportive G.o.ddess was then changed into a G.o.ddess who wanted to steel herself with her own gradual bravery and spirit. As for Ange, she wasn't shocked, rather she just closed her eyes and said, while she was walking away further, knowing what comes next,

"I see...".

Na.s.sus didn't want the awry situation to swell any further, so he stood up and went close to G.o.ddess Otorine. Then, he says in a complacent manner, trying to negotiate with her,

"I must apologize Otorine but...Angehime is willing to support me on my ideals...".

As Otorine heard Na.s.sus's statements, she gritted her teeth in boiling anger, since she was frustrated of his driven ambitions for the benefit of G.o.ddess Ira. Thereon, she gripped both sides of his collar, pleaded with all her heart out aided by sorrowful tears full of empathy for him, although her tone was very forceful,

"THAT WOMAN, G.o.dDESS IRA AIN'T WORTH IT!"

"SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE SAVED!"

"SHE WANTS YOU TO FALL INTO THE PITS OF DESPAIR!"

"WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?".

Though, Na.s.sus didn't believe Otorine's words of hard truth. Instead, his anger for Otorine had started to swell inside of him. Somehow, he didn't want her to see his wrathful expression, so he just sighed and replied to her in an uptight manner,

"I guess I've been too complacent and open to you..."

"So I command you to get out...".

She wasn't pleased of his response. She stopped gripping his collar and she took a little step back filled with shock, since she noticed that he doesn't want to believe in her, even though she had witnessed G.o.ddess Ira's vile acts and putrid confessions. She tried to utter out her honest words,

"N-Na.s.sus...I'm just trying to—".

Sadly, she was frozen upon spouting out her next words, since she was seeing Na.s.sus's ever cold stare. His icy stare from the abyss was even turning the place into a frozen world without any hint of warmth or affection. Though, the air became intense, as Na.s.sus's silent rage was revealed through his look. Otorine was mute on her words and she didn't know what to do afterwards. Sooner or later, Otorine's sorrowful face left out cries of pain filled with pure crystal tears. She ran away going to the door with her burdened heart, since her lover Na.s.sus rejected her plea. She went through the door, along with her vulnerable self and left Na.s.sus with Ange. For some reason, Ange was wearing a devious smile even though, she's a light G.o.ddess, since she felt that Na.s.sus chose to be with her instead.

Afterwards, Ru, Mai and a.r.s.eia noticed over the distance that Otorine was running away like a heartbroken lover. The three of them noticed that something must've happened inside the inner sanctuary of Ange. Soon after, Ru says,

"Was that G.o.ddess Otorine?".

Mai replies,

"Huh? I guess so?"

"And maybe...she was the one who...".

Though, Mai stopped saying her words about Otorine due to some reason. Instead, she noticed that Ru's left finger was radiating a ball of lavander light, turning Mai to say,

"Other than that...How's your doll manipulation?".

As Ru heard Mai's question, Ru's foxy ears twitched with eagerness and excitement. Not only that, she was humming like a joyful girl surrounded by fluttering hearts, despite her current situation and she said with great cheerfulness,

"It's going swell...I'm now making food for Zera♪".

There was an awkward silence for Mai, as she heard Ru's flimsy words. Mai looked disturbed over Ru's non-chalant and optimistic self. Thereupon, Mai uttered out her worries for her dear friend,

"Ugh...sometimes I think you're forgetting our situation here Ru...".

Though, a.r.s.eia was deep in her thoughts, while her eyes were closed,

("Hmmm...they say Ru's weird and wise...")

("I wonder what she's going to pull off here...")

("And honestly these LIGHT/DARK G.o.ddesses are so unpredictable...")

("Wait...how did a foreign light G.o.ddess like Otorine enter here?")

("Ange you're truly desperate now aren't you?").

On the other hand, Zeran was sitting on the sofa. He looked-like he was focussed on writing diagrams, plans, patterns, ideas etc. upon confronting Na.s.sus. There were lots of papers with written scribbles on top of the desk. Though, he came to a sudden stop, pausing his ideas for a moment and recalled some of his thoughts, while he was looking at the other papers. Suddenly, he blurted out and brushed-off all of the papers with powerful force, while his face was in panic,

"GAHHH!".

Then, he said to himself,

"I forgot...he has that all ailment immunity..."

"I thought I could poison him...but I can't..."

"Not only that...going for sheer force would be total suicide..."

"Since he has that INFINITE STAMINA, ENERGY AND IMMORTALITY!"

"If only I had that MAGIC COUNTER...GAH THAT WON'T EVEN WORK!"

"By the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses! Why it has to be him to come here?!".

He smashed the table while he was looking in dismay. His face was sweating like he was in a heatwave due to his efforts gone to waste, although Ru's home was very refres.h.i.+ng to anyone's skin, even though there was no airconditioning unit. Sooner or later, the Ru doll came out of the kitchen. It was holding a steel tray. On top of it, there was some kind of beverage in a luxurious looking gla.s.s that almost looked like it would contain parfum or expensive cologne instead. More than that, there were engraved letters of "Eu de toilette", proving it wasn't any edible beverage at all. The plush doll went near the troubled Zeran to offer the said drink somehow. Zeran grabbed the said drink and said,

"Thanks...".

He didn't bat an eye and he just drank it like it was some kind of soda, since he was stressed in his thoughts. Though, his mouth tasted something odd. It wasn't that much pleasing to his taste buds, instead his mouth felt like it was wrapped in some kind of non-lethal poison. The next moment, he spurted the liquid out from his mouth, since it was awful. He looked at the bottle and saw the engaved letters, "Eu de toilette". Thereon, he was convinced and expressed with an irritated face to the doll,

"Ru what the h.e.l.l?!".

His eyes witnessed that the Ru plush doll was lying on the floor with its hands touching its tummy, as if laughing in mute, due to his recent dense action. He looked more and more insulted, as he said,

"Haha...very funny Ru...".

Afterwards, he had stopped being depressed in his thoughts. He continued to make more convuluded diagrams and plans using his wits. The plush doll went near him once again. This time, it was carrying a tray full of delectable peanut b.u.t.ter and jelly sandwiches. Zeran just took one and ate it, while he was pre-occupied on his business. As for the excess numbers of sandwiches, he just vanished them into nothingness and transferred them onto his personal dimension inventory. His extraordinary vision saw the information saying,

["PBJ SANDWICHES X250..."].

Thereon, he was in his thoughts,

("Kay..it's good that Ru's still making a lot of food now...")

("But why does she keep making these sandwiches for some reason?)

("Not only that...THEY'RE ALL EXCESSIVE IN NUMBERS!").

He paused for a few seconds. There was a long disturbing silence afterwards. The Ru plush doll looked dumbstruck by his sudden stop. That sudden moment, he recalled some of his thoughts about some things,

("Wait...excessive in numbers...")

("I have food items that'll never spoil...")

("And those items from Celestia heaven...")

("My mom telling those funny skill hints...").

Suddenly, his eyes glimmered with intense determination, as he had hatched an interesting idea. He looked very eager and drew more orderly diagrams and drafted schemes. A little while later, he says to himself,

"Yes...this could work!"

"I think?"

"But really...it'll really work!"

"I hope you're ready for this, Na.s.sus...".
