I squeezed her hand and then turned to Nemoria, cing a hand on her beautiful face that was covered in ck cracks. I leaned down and pressed my lips against her and flooded her body with light, sting Kadeon''s hold on her while opening a portal beside us.


    As the portal appeared, the Realm of Darkness started to crack, and red Chaos Beasts started to rain down. Soon this ce would be consumed, but for now, Nemoria was safe, and I stepped into the portal with her.


    "Thank you," she said as we stepped into the open air above my Astral Ind, and the portal closed.


    "I am sorry that I took so long, but now it is time to separate us from that son of a bitch," I said and kissed Nemoria again, her face smooth and perfect now, and her eyes sparking rainbows just like her daughter. "Much better."


    Nemoria tucked her face into my neck and hugged me tight as I opened a portal to the Mortal Realm, where everyone was still frozen on Tallia''s ind. I let go of Nemoria, and Tallia rushed over to grab her mother as she walked through. I pulled my hand back, and they all froze as I let the portal close again, leaving me alone once more.


    Looking down, I could see my ind and then the other twelve Astral Inds below it. I wanted nothing more than to force them down with me, but that was not a risk I was willing to take. Instead, I closed my eyes and visualized theyers of the realm. With a deep breath, I started to move the lines around me, reshaping them until they were my own.


    My ind rose, and then so did the other twelve Astral Inds. They floated above the Mortal Realm in a line, spinning around each other like an interlocked puzzle cube. This was my domain now, a small pocket of control where I could focus on mastering dimensions beyond our own reality.


    Magic flowed through my veins as I turned toward the horizon. My eyes sparkled with the knowledge that there was always more to learn, and a mysterious smile crossed my lips.


    The journey had only just begun, and even if Truth was only ying a game, this was my reality.


    With a flick of both wrists in opposite directions, Yaggisdral and the twelve inds were all mmed together and then forced up as I descended into the Mortal Realm with my own ind. The descent gave me a view that I had yet to see, and for the first time, I got a full view of all three Mortal Realms.


    The highest was the one that I just dropped the girls back on, but there were two more realms around that one. The first was a massive ring that had a singlendmass that was connected all the way around the ring with water on both sides. It rotated vertically around the t ne of the Mortal Realm of the Goddesses. Thest realm was broken sections of what seemed to be multiple rings floating around all of it. On one of the sections, I could clearly see explosions andrge-caliber gunfire as I passed by one of the sections.


    These would be the other two veils controlled by Matthias, and they were just as the Guides had described them, but I knew that I couldn''t go to them yet, even if I wanted to. The path that my ind was on was inside a tube of influence that allowed me passage between the realms, but only one way. So, there was nothing that I could do but watch as I slowly descended, and it was slow.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Finally, after what felt like an eternity lowered down to float my ind just above the Golden Egg Repository. Now that Kadeon was no longer taking care of this task, I was going to have to find another person for the job, but first things first.


    I lowered down till I touched the floor of my garden balcony and looked down at my dry beaches that were now cliff edges. That was unfortunate, but I was going to rece it with a much better view.


    "I call all the Goddesses and their inds to me!" I said in amanding voice, and suddenly twelve inds seemed to tear through reality to surround the ind, molding it into my own ind.


    Then portals started to open, and all my wives started to walk through, but I had to do the final touch. It was time to put a lid on the realm!


    "I, Galio, marked as the True God of Light by Truth, divides my Realm! From this day forward, shall be the haven for all Goddesses! May it bring peace and love to all creatures that live here and divide us from Matthias, Emperor of Darkness as marked by Truth, and the False God!"


    I said as I finished dering my new realm. I opened up my palm and started to move my hands in circles as if I was drawing something, and purple light appeared in front of me, creating a seal around the entire ind that seemed to be unbreakable.


    The Goddesses stood behind me, watching as the seal expanded outwards, touching every single ind as it snaked through them. Once it reached its final destination, I uttered thest words of the incantation: "Let it be so!"


    A loud crackling noise filled the air, followed by a blinding white light that seemed to envelop the entire Realm before fading away like dust in the wind. When the light faded, an enormous turquoise dome reced the sky, shining with an otherworldly light from within.


    "Is that all?" Tallia asked as she walked up to one side of me, Nemoria on my other.


    "For now. I have sealed off this realm, but that means sealing it off to the other two realms that surround this one. When I am ready, I will have to face your father, but that is a long way off," I said, but Nemoria took one of my hands.


    "What about the Blood Witches?" She asked, but I shook my head.
