Divine beings, often revered and feared, occupy a realm beyond the comprehension of mortals. These entities, whether gods, goddesses, devils, or celestial spirits, possess immense power that can shape the fabric of reality itself.

They exist in a dimension where time and space bend to their will, and their very presence exudes an aura of awe and reverence. Each divine being is unique, embodying specific aspects of the cosmos—wisdom, chaos, love, war, or natural forces like the sea and sky.

Their forms are as varied as their domains: some appear as resplendent figures of light, radiating serenity and grace, while others manifest as dark, fearsome entities, cloaked in shadows and mystery.

Those who manifest as dark and fearsome entities are those belonging to the opposing nature. These beings seek delight upon tormenting human beings and are the exact embodiment of sins.

Their motivations and personalities are diverse; some are benevolent protectors of humanity, offering guidance and blessings, while others delight in sowing discord and giving them the most sadistic tortures.

Despite their differences, all divine beings share a common trait: they are bound by ancient laws and cosmic balances that govern their actions and interactions with the mortal world, ensuring that their immense power is wielded within certain bounds.

Speaking about diving beings, there are two divine beings currently speaking in front of both Tanya and Felix.

Idun, with her benevolent personality, and Belial, with his sinister nature.

"Fufufu, come on now, don't be like that,... Belial. Fufufu"

Being-X..., no... Belial stared seriously at Idun.

He just stood and stared at Idun for at least 2 minutes, before sighing.

"Alright. I'll concede. But tell me one thing... How did you manage to break into my world? How did you insert this rat into my kingdom?"

"A woman never tells her secrets Belial, fufufu."

Belial was irritated. He remembered how annoying it was to talk to this woman even back then. Her 'Fufufu's' are so annoying that if you hear another 'fufufu' from her, you might want to tear off your ears.

On the other hand, since Idun does not seem to tell her own secrets, maybe Belial would just send her avatar back towards the Heavenly Realm and nothing will stop him from killing the rat in front of him.

So, Belial gathered a lump of dark energy in his hand, that he hid behind his back, and started to approach the avatar of Idun, however....

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

For every 'tsk' that Idun said, she wags her finger and shakes her head towards Belial.

"You do not want to do that, my dear Belial, fufufu. You see, I am not alone here. There are numerous gods and goddesses who are watching us right now. You do not want to see your 'hidden' world be destroyed ehh? Or better yet, we would camp outside your world. Fufufu."

"Plus, they are rather annoyed right now, fufufu. Seeing you impersonate Zeus's face is irritating him right now, fufufu. Oh I would love to see the old man's annoyed face you know? Fufufu. Loki also says 'fuck you Belial' fufufu."

Belial knew that Idun was correct. If he wants to still live in this world he is in right now, then he needs to be alive in order to do so.

He also knew that destroying a world can't be done willy-nilly. There must be a sort of condition or a bet since all worlds are protected by the Will of the Universe.Hell, even devils such as Belial need to adhere to such will.
