Chapter 422: Divine Progression (2)

—

The two Gods vanished, leaving Neji alone with his followers. He stood in this living room, taking in the serene and minimalist atmosphere with a calculating mind.

"Oh right, where is Aika Kiryuu?" Neji turned to look at Raynare."

"She is practicing magic in her room. Her concentration and desire for magic are great, she is like an obsessed maniac already. So I didn't disturb her..."

"That's good." Neji nodded, and then the wood floor creaked as he tapped his feet in contemplation, the sound echoed by the bare walls that surrounded him.

The noon's sunlight filtered through the windows, and despite their beauty, the thin glasses allowed a glimpse of the world outside.

"Hmm," Looking up, he saw the traditional artwork that graced the walls, appreciating the intricate details and vibrant shades that the artist had applied. The simplicity and beauty would fill anyone with tranquility, and even Neji was charmed. "I'll keep it."

"Huh?" The girls had been looking up at him in silence until then, as Asia blurted out in confusion hearing him.

"Heaven. We need a castle for our heaven, I suppose I should keep the Japanese theme a bit. I'll just make everything bigger." Neji explained to her, and then the tip of his toes rose and descended.

"Welcome to paradise, girls."

His feet touched the ground, and in a ripple of divinity, the entire place was turned into much more. The divine spell transformed the humble living room into a glorious sanctuary. The stale air was now filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, the dull wooden walls became vibrant and lush, and the old furniture and utensils became new and sparkling.

The outside world wasn't visible anymore, the windows only showed a luminous glow, a light divine. It was as if the hand of the gods had suddenly touched down in the mortal world, breathing life and beauty into it. As the outside world became a blur, the girls took in the new surroundings in awe, marveling at the beauty of the place and feeling a sense of peace and tranquility.

"T-this is..." Xenovia got up and ran to the window, looking outside. From close, she could see the outside better. There was a yard that stretched for kilometers, and after that there was just whiteness. Mist.

Around the area where the mansion was located in Japan, there was now a thick mist surrounding the place for dozens of kilometers in diameter. This was now a realm hidden from the average population, and even the supernatural would get lost in the mist.

This was half of a different dimension, yet still connected to Earth via the mist, it had surroundings all different than before.

"Follow me outside," Neji told the girls as he walked out. He stepped out of the gate and into the backyard. It was huge now.

It stretched for kilometers, with walls as tall as the Eiffel Tower in the far. It was a lush mixture of garden surroundings, small pools, and trees that cast a shadow. There was a throne in the middle of the place, with smaller chairs beside it, two on each side.

"Sit down," Neji slumped on the throne and ordered the girls. The girls exchanged glances, wondering what he was going to show them, as they took the seat.

"What about my seat?" Sisty asked with a raised eyebrow, but when Neji didn't bother to answer, she just shrugged. She already knew why she hadn't received a seat.

Neji waved his hand forward. The terrain took an immense change. While the entire yard was a garden before, half of it changed, the half in front of Neji's throne. The garden was burned down, the ground ashen and bare, as the sky on that half went dark with crackles of lighting. The world was bipolar.
