Greetings! Before the chapter, I would like to express my gratitude for you readers who decided to stop by!
Important: This story is not exactly an AU. It's more like the DAL games and the Encore OVAs: It can be both AU or canon, it's up to you to decide which. So I'm trying to make this story able to fit in canon, but you can think of it as an AU.
The story occurs after the events of Rinne Utopia and possibly Mayuri Judgment (but NOT Ars Install and Rio Reincarnation), and set right after the prologue of volume 14 (the first day of the new semester). Therefore, beware of spoilers.
This is an updated version of the original Chapter 1, "Arrival of the Goddess", since I'm convinced the original didn't develop the mood enough.

The clock showed 0.00 A.M. The date had moved from 8th January to 9th January.
In a building belonging to the [Deus Ex Machina Industries], within his personal office, the Executive Director Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott sat on his chair with an obvious good mood.
"I said, postpone the attack, Ellen."
In front of his table, the secretary Ellen Mira Mathers, was confused by the orders from her direct superior.
"Postpone? But the preparations are already complete."
A few hours ago, the director had ordered to prepare a fleet of space battleships to attack a Spirit who wandered above the skies in outer space. She was code-named [Zodiac].
DEM would probably never manage to locate this Spirit, if they didn't secure [Beelzebub] (Tome of Divine Corruption) from the Spirit [Sister] a week ago. But then now, after the preparations were done, Westcott ordered to postpone the departure.
Ellen wasn't one to question orders, but she didn't see any reason for postponing the attack. Especially since, Sister's survival and the existence of [Rasiel] (Tome of Revelation) had heavily restricted Beelzebub's omniscience.
That meant they had to immediately capture Zodiac before she left her position.
There must be a reason behind his change of mind. "May I ask the reason why, Ike?"
"I found something interesting." Westcott replied cheerfully.
The secretary only raised an eyebrow as her director smirked.
"From Beelzebub?" Ellen couldn't help but feel skeptical. "Isn't its function being restricted now?"
"Indeed it is, but only partially. The interference from Sister won't affect any information unrelated to her. I can still know many things, although not as many as I would like." Westcott explained.
"Then, what do you find out this time?"
"A powerful Spirit will visit our city today."
Ellen was slightly surprised at the news, mostly at Westcott's nonchalance at the matter.
"Spirit? Then we will have to-"
Westcott raised his hand, cutting her off.
"Now now, no need to be so hasty. This Spirit is important not just for us, but also for [her]." Westcott narrowed his eyes.
There were sillence for a moment. When he said that, that meant-
"You mean... this new Spirit is also one of her experiment subjects? How do you know?" After all, that woman was...
