But he also knew that she could be intimidating without meaning to sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>90% of Ayaana’s queen-like aura and dignity came from her, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they seemed to have no issues at present, Abaddon was free to focus on the task he had actually come here for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at his claws for a moment before deciding against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching for one of his numerous muzzles, he grasped a particularly sharp tooth and pulled it free from his jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izanami was watching nearby and raised her brow at the sight. \"What is he doing...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably something stupid.\" Erica answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon let the tooth fall to the ground and become buried in the bedrock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh twisted and popped as he shrank down to his original size and stood beside his comically large tooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was briefly awkward as he glanced back once again. The girls weren’t looking this way, and that meant he had a little bit of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly and quietly pulled off his clothes and grabbed his tooth under one arm before wandering into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s chilling and cold embrace jolted him awake and released any stiffness that his muscles might’ve been feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening up a pair of gills on the side of his neck, he dove into the body of water in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, Abaddon wasn’t much for swimming, but this was a fairly relaxing change of pace for him. Perhaps he would have enjoyed it more if he didn’t know that he was about to endure a hell like none other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottom of the underground body of water was around sixty meters down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Abaddon reached it, he stood at the bottom and draped his tooth over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the water was uninhabited, he didn’t have to worry about accidentally flash boiling anything except himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steeling his heart and mind, he buried the tip of his tooth in the soil underneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For around thirty seconds, nothing actually happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Abaddon wrote the first character, things saw a noticeable change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature of the water went from chilling to slightly warm in the span of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The character that Abaddon had drawn was different from any language he had ever seen before. And he knew every single one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An odd light emanated from the carving that was the source of the sudden temperature change within the water. It’s heat was comparable to a burning star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The toll on Abaddon’s body was also not something insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only written one character out of the eighty-eight that was needed for the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And already, his muscles were starting to ache. His mind was working overtime, and his tooth had grown warm to the touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was the first time that he truly grasped the enormity of the powers he was playing with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been quite reckless over the course of his life, but this truly felt like something he shouldn’t be doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Nevertheless, he kept going anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting with the second character, things were noticeably more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Abaddon traced the lines and patterns in the ground, they began to glow right away. And again, the temperature within the water rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two sigils now glowing, they seemed to feed off of each other and began producing even more heat. It was almost like they were feeding off of each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the part that Oblivion had warned him about. He literally couldn’t stop now, or the results would be catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These characters weren’t supposed to exist in this plane of existence. Not even in the lands above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were from the outside. Meaning the danger in working with them was just that much higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Abaddon stopped for any reason, the characters wouldn’t just fizzle out of existence or even explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would collapse this region of existence. Yesh would have yet another hole in his body, and this one would be even larger than the first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention his lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tehom would most certainly go poof- and maybe even he would be gone along with it. Truly gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon could not and would not allow that to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he kept going. He focused his mind on nothing but the task in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a long and arduous road in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- 6 Hours Later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s been down there a long time, hasn’t he?\" Izanami couldn’t mask the worry in her voice even if she tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took off her leather jacket and wiped her brow, which was dripping with sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the course of the last several minutes, the chillingly cold cavern had become one massive scenic sauna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake that Abaddon had initially stepped into was now glowing red and festering like something out of Lailah’s workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica pretended that she did not notice how Izanami’s white shirt clung to her chest now that she had sweat through her top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much like Abaddon, Eris, Tatiana, and Valerie, Erica did not really have a type and was capable of being sexually attracted to anyone. Though that had less to do with her divinities and more to do with personal preference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica could have cooled the cavern down in an instant by absorbing all of the thermal energy within the cavern, but where was the fun in that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was allowed to be just a bit mischievous and look. Respectfully, that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has.\" Erica said as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. \"But don’t worry. You just stay right here and don’t even think about taking even a single step over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is ’because I said so’ a good enough reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I seem like one of your children who that might work on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica rolled her eyes. \"Just stay put. It’ll be really dangerous for you if you-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a loud whooshing sound, and a geyser of hot steam and mist erupted from the boiling lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica finally concluded that it may be time for her to lend a helping hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay here.\" She stood up and began unzipping her dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izanami was justifiably flustered. \"Y-You, what are you doing!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going to help.\" Erica removed her heels, dress, and panties and left them all together in one neat little folded pile. \"He said he didn’t need it, but I should have known that he was lying. I’m going to kill him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several parts of this conversation that Izanami felt like she should and should not be paying attention to, but they were getting mixed up in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all that she was hearing was something about Erica having a killer body and honestly, she would have been hard pressed not to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit tight for me, okay?\" She smiled, but it was more like she was giving an order that wasn’t supposed to be refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Izanami watched her perfect ass bounce away, she hadn’t the foggiest idea of anything that had just been discussed.

The death goddess wasn’t going anywhere at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’…This would be cute if I were not going out of my mind with worry.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon didn’t remember the last time he let his body fall into this poor a condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No fight in recent memory had challenged him as much as carving a set of simple characters in the damned lakebed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision had blurred again, so he was likely bleeding from his eyes, among other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His flesh had practically been power-washed away, and his stripped tendons were billowing loosely in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the water that was originally in the lake with him had boiled out and evaporated, and the temperature down here had become greater than Earth’s sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair had already been burned away a long time ago, and his bones were charred black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tooth he was using as a tool was in even worse condition than him. It looked as if it were going to crack and explode at any moment now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With sixty of the characters inscribed so far, Abaddon was aware that he still had a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You idiot. You should have told me that things were this bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his eyes blurred to hell, Abaddon did not miss the moment when a mystic figure appeared before him. One who he was intimately familiar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wings of rainbow-colored flame billowed behind Erica’s back as she wrapped them both in her protective embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she appeared, she grabbed onto his tooth and reinforced its integrity with her mana. She had bought it a few more minutes... at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erica, get back!\" Abaddon warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife was unamused. \"You told me that you could do this on your own without difficulty. You promised me! I’m helping you, and I don’t want to hear anything else about it! Now, SHARE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica touched her husband on the forehead and intruded into the depths of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since their souls were already unified, he couldn’t stop her in time, even if he had wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of pain crashed into Erica like an iceberg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip hard to hold back a scream and focused solely on what was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could see the characters that Abaddon was keeping stashed within his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright...\" She said slowly, her voice strained. \"Let’s try this again.
