God of Destruction: Living Among Mortals

He sighed, lifting a hand to gently ruffle her hair. "Elesch, you're impossible."

Her grin widened, victorious already. It was very easy to manipulate her brother, which she was very good at; of course, she didn't do it for anything bad. But to spend time with him, and just cling to him, like how Freya does.

"But fine," Nova relented, his tone gave up his reluctance, but seeing her from the perspective that she was still a baby, he had to say yes, even if it was dangerous. "You can come with me. But only if you promise to stay close. No wandering off, no taunting gods, and absolutely no—"

"Got it!" she interrupted, her chest puffed again in pride. "Elesch, the greatest sidekick in all of Inner Heaven, reporting for duty!"

Nova scratched the bridge of his nose, then pinched, exhaling through his teeth, a smile appearing as she made him slightly chuckle.

"Sidekick? That's not-ah, never mind."

Elesch clapped her hands, and with a snap of her fingers, the Void around him folded like paper. The mortal realm, bound by her power, remained frozen, every falling raindrop, star, suspended, every scream or laugh frozen in the air, as though time itself was holding its breath.

In the next instant, they emerged in the radiant expansive domain of Inner Heaven, Nova divinity returning to him, making him glow ruby-red. The divine light of the Inner Heaven poured endlessly, painting the sky in hues beyond mortal comprehension.

Collssal spires of celestial stone stretched high, threading through galaxies that would break the laws of physics that had been set in the universe. Endless rivers of starlight coursed across the horizon, in an arc, as if to mock all the flat-earthers.

Elesch twirled in awe, arms spread wide. "Home!" she cried out gleefully, her voice ringing louder than the celestial bells themselves. "Oh, how I've missed this place. Being locked in one place really brings out your appreciation for everything around you."

Nova followed, his gaze serious, scanning the horizon. "Let's keep it quiet, Elesch. The gods must not suspect your presence. Not yet anyway."

She stopped twirling, tiptoed back to his side, and tugged at his sleeve with a sly smile. "Don't worry, big brother. I'll be invisible."

Nova gave her a long look, knowing all too well what her version of "invisible" meant. Still, he nodded. "Then let's move. Freya will want to know you're safe."

They ventured into the castle, its illuminating golden light capturing both their awe. The Inner Heaven felt surreal, as though from a comic, but it wasn't fictitious; it was real, and it was in front of them.

They climbed the steps with starlight delight, as Elesch wanted to venture forward, going to Freya, but Nova needed to keep her hidden until they reached his chamber. Then, as they took the final step, a sudden loud, metallic thud echoed right where they were.

Apollo was on the left, half-naked, as he only had shorts on, which looked as if they were going to fall off. Then, two girls approached behind him, both as tall as him, and attractive. Both of them were fully naked, their breasts out, which Elesch was staring at since, even though her appearance of that of an eighteen-year-old, her chest wasn't as blessed.

The two girls didn't wear any underwear, but Apollo put his hand near their vaginas as if mocking Nova for being unfaithful. When Nova's eyes didn't leave Apollo's eyes even for a second, to him, those two girls didn't even exist.

Elesch was nearly drooling, seeing how big the breasts were, then looking at her semi-flat chest, she stopped drooling, accidentally biting her tongue hard. Apollo and Nova kept their intense glare at each other as Elesch had her dilemma.

In the meantime, Freya was in her chambers was looking over a recently awakened civilization, somewhat like Earth, but more recent, as in they awakened in the past year. Most of the creatures in civilization had no idea what was going on, and everything was looming in chaos.

Then, as she heard the thud, and wondered what that was. She left her chamber, stepping into the long hallway that divided the castle in half. On the right-hand side was Nova and Freya's half, and on the other hand, on the left, was Apollo's, Orin's, and Chronos's half.

She appeared right behind Nova, then saw the two fully naked women standing to the side of Apollo, and was confused about what was going on. She recognized those two women as angels, and by the sight of it, they were trying to reproduce, but mostly had fun.

"What is going on here?" Freya called out, and Nova snapped from his glare, turning his gaze back, seeing the beautiful flower that Freya was.

He went to hug her, not seeing her for a long time, less than a month, and kissed her. After the kiss, she looked towards the angels, then back at him, then back to Apollo, then back at him, then towards Elesch, then back at him.

Then she realized that she had just seen Elesch, then looked at her again, matching the body, the face, and the soul to the girl she had in mind, and there was a hundred percent resemblance.

"Elesch, what are you doing here?" Freya tried to whisper, but spoke too loudly, attracting Apollo's attention, who had ignored Elesch thus far.

They both, and if Elesch had a tail, she would be wagging it violently as of this moment. She was trying so hard to contain her excitement, but wasn't able to.

"Wait a minute, is that who I think it is?" Apollo said with a wild grin, as if he had an edge over Nova that he could finally use. "Elesch, aren't you a fucking Eldritch? Your kind," he said with venom, "should be locked away, so what the fuck do you think you are doing here, in my presence?"

Elesch tried to speak, but Nova interveined, and said his voice cold, filled with death, his face contorting into something brutally serious: "She is with me; if you have any problems, take it up with me. Got it?"
