Chapter 468: The Fateful Encounters

—

Fotia was in the Cube Omniverse, a realm distinct from her own, toward which her kind had been at war for eons. Nowadays, they were peaceful, so visiting Cube was safe for her.

More so because of her identity. Being the daughter of the Primordial God and Eurynome Celestine, she was not just any deity – her lineage was of the highest order, and even the Abstract Entities would rather not harm her even if things went downhill.

However, she wasn't here today in Cube by her own choice. Her parents had pretty much forced her to come here. This was supposed to be a vacation for herself and her fiance, where their parents hoped they'd get to know each other better.

Zephyrus was a formidable figure among the new generation in the Prime. As the son of one of the 72 Great God Emperors, he was an impressive sight with his large, well-built frame and striking blue skin that shimmered with an aura of power. His strength was not just physical but also rooted in the deep lineage of divine power, making him a match for the strongest beings in multiple universes. In fact, he was stronger than Fotia herself—though she would never admit it to his face.

Yet, despite his might and prestigious background, Fotia's feelings towards him were lukewarm. Their engagement was orchestrated more by the desires of their parents than by any mutual affection felt like an ornate shackle, restraining her fiery spirit.

Plus, he wasn't really her type.

Whatever the case, they were now on vacation, so she had decided to enjoy herself. They came to this world that seemed plucked from medieval fantasy, yet wasn't inhabited by humans, but rather a unique race of four-armed beings.

Their initial reception was less than welcoming. Since Fotia hadn't bothered to arrange things with the local Dimensional Supervisor, their powerful presence stirred fear and hostility among the natives. The world's finest Knights, capable of destroying verses in the lower worlds, teamed up to fight them.

With a simple gesture, she summoned a whirlwind of flames, dancing skyward in a mesmerizing display. The fire gleamed like liquid gold against the backdrop of the sky, flickered in patterns that told tales of ancient power and divine lineage.

"Uh..." the Knights had realized that there was no chance they could win.

With a mere display of her pyrotechnic prowess, she swiftly made them understand that, if she wanted them dead, they could do nothing. "Leave me alone!" – was what she yelled to them before they did as asked.

After enjoying her time in the local civilization, she decided to venture deeper into this world with Zephyrus. From what they gathered, this was a forbidden zone, filled with creatures that could destroy this hyper-large planet. Fotia wanted to test that out.

The two of them found themselves in a grassy land, filled with dangers unseen and foes formidable. The air was thick with the scent of wildflowers and the distant, almost imperceptible, hum of primal magic. It was here that they encountered a bunch of Demonic Grasshoppers, the size of a building. It was rumored to be an unstoppable force, and she had high hopes.

But her hopes died down when she, with her hair blazing like the sun, burned the bugs with a flick of her fingers.

"That was boring," she grunted out. "Why did we come to such a weak world again?"

"This was supposed to be a vacation, that's why..." her fiance replied, as she shot him a look. She didn't ask that literally. Still, she couldn't be annoyed, that blockhead behavior of his was cute.

She had to admit, their parents' goal of getting them closer via this vacation had worked out well. His looks still weren't her type, but it was cute how he acted so carefully around her despite being more powerful.
