[View of the girls on the beach working on the Underwear Boat]"Do you really think all of this will work?" Jilly asked as she watched as Hydie created a transparent blue barrier around the long oval-shaped boat that she had created.Jilly, Hydie, and Lizy were all standing on the beach in front of the submarine that they were creating. Hydie was channeling the waters from the edge of the beach to surround the vessel that was shaped identical to that of a submarine.The girls had no idea that they were creating a Submarine, and modern-day submarines were definitely not built like this. The girls were also running into some problems, including sinking, breathing, propulsion, and eating, but everyone mostly had a hand in the project."Yes, but we still don't know how we are going to make it move. My barrier will replenish the air, but it will also keep the ship filled, keeping it above water. This would be fine, but the boat is meant to be navigated under t

[Zack's View]"I think I can see that Bastard!" I growled as I strained to push forward.Now, my body had been conditioned, and I no longer needed to use the forward and back strategy. I just had to push as my body absorbed the pressure of whatever was creating such a massive gravitational pull.[You are doing great! Just keep going!] Libra said, cheering me on.Harold had been silent most of the trip, but I think that he was getting tired of fighting with Libra. It was surprising just how much the two seemed to detest each other, but it was a nice distraction.I had no idea how long I had been at this walk, but I was sure it was more than two days. I was starting to think that I was outside of my previous reality because I had been going nonstop.[You are right. The astral plane does not move with time; it is outside your ordinary reality. I don't know how it works; I just know that time doesn't flow here.] Libra explained, and I frowned bu

"Okay, now let's get back to the real reason that we are here. What can the ranching system do about Chey? I know that we made Lidy a helper, and I had the other demons swear to me, right? I could make him a helper, but what would that mean for him?" I asked Harold as we sat around the table.The two of us were both drinking coffee now, and even if it was in my mind, it was great. There were some things that just couldn't be beaten, no matter what reality you were in."What you did with the Demons won't work here because you are outside that reality. We will just call the places in your back constellation the Astral Realm for now. Only the ranching system will work outside of the Demon Realm, the place everyone else is. This system will work in every Realm," Harold explained, but I narrowed my eyes on him."We are on my back right now?! How does that even make sense?!" I asked with wide and confused eyes."I didn't ask you to make sense of it! The Astral

"I will send you back, but things will be different this time, so we will just wait for you to collapse the rings. We will just be in the way," Chey explained to me, and I understood what he meant.Chey had drawn a line in the air with his finger, and a white line had appeared. As it did, the gate back to Sagittarius's ring opened up to show the area that we had left from."What do you mean that things are going to be different?" I asked before I walked through the Astral Gate."Carnage was only playing with you before because he was much stronger than you. Now you will be near or equal to his power, so he won't be as timid this time around," Chey explained, and that made sense."Okay, but is there anything that I need to do after I kill Carnage?" I asked, but Chey shook his head."No, you just need to remove the stain, and we can all leave this accursed place!" Chey growled but then shifted back into his horse-man form with surprise.Howl s

The rings were a side note for now, and I still had many places to visit."Grog, there are two large cocoons in the ground. I want you to carefully remove them and then take them back to the Keep. Take these three people with you, and make sure to explain who they are," I instructed Grogvel.Chey had quilted down after he finally realized that he wasn't going to die. The others had been silent the entire time, but I was going to get to the next."Dani, the girls, will help you, but find Lidy, and she will get you something to eat. That reminds me, good lord am I hungry! Nushi, Howl? Can we get going?" I asked Nushi, but she instantly became distracted.The mention of my talking pup made Nushi's eyes get big as she finally noticed Howl. The woman completely ignored me and walked over to scoop up Howl off the ground."Unhand me, Demon Woman!" Howl squeaked out, but then his face was smashed into Nushi's lovely red breasts.I left Nushi and How
