"What's going on outside, did Lord Vestic send another threat to the Emporium?" A man asked, walking into a bar and greeting the bartender and his friend at the counter. "I haven't seen everyone this engaged in anything since he announced to the cosmos that he's going to eradicate the oppressors."
"No, this ti it's an invitation from the Queen, you know her left hand?" His friend asked with a smirk, wiggling his brow.
"Lady Amastacia? Who would ever forget her face or figure; everyone and their grandmother should know who the infamous Demigod Elf is by now, not to ntion she is Ikaris's second most trusted after Lady Levina, what are they up to this ti?" The bartender asked.
"Apparently, with the return of Lord Vestic to the forefront of the war, Lady Amastacia is being promoted to Divinity and we have all been invited to watch the spectacle through the system, I didn't even know that becoming a Divine was sothing one could do so easily."
"What are you even saying? Becoming a divine isn't sothing that you just get up and do out of nowhere... right?" The man's friend asked again. "From the way the system describes evolution, it can take decades to just get from Evolved to Demigod, let alone the climb that progresses one all the way to Divine."
"You keep overlooking that Lord Vestic and The Queen do not surround themselves with average people," The bartender chid in.
"Dina levina, forrly human is scarily powerful, if you track back ten years agio she was an averageg weakling going to school, Lord Vestic himself has scaled so exponentially in power over the last few years that he alone can stabd against entire universes."
"Each of them have grown beyond reason in unbelievably short periods of ti, compare them to Lady Amastacia who has been a warrioir all her life and I daresay it's long overdue." The man finished, cleaning his glass while he looked at the screen displaying the countdown to the show.
"Then, I wonder, why did she choose now."

"It's happening again..." Unno stood in the presidential office, staring at his device with the invitation and then looking at Usami.
"I know, I've been looking forward to today for a while now," She responded with a smile. "I'm going to be watching it from elsewhere, since the invitation was extended to earth as well it's safe to assu that we'll be made an official part of the Sol Collective as of today, get on that before anyone else and prepare a speech-"
"Are you leaving for good?" Unno asked out of the blue and the spear hero paused and turned to et his gaze, while a golden gate slowly appeared next to her and Renia stepped through. "With everything that's been happening, it seems like you won't be president for much longer..."
"I do plan on giving up on my seat prematurely, if that's what you're asking, Unno," Usami nodded, rubbing her arm and leaning her head. "I don't belong behind a desk giving orders, or running a country, I may have done an OK job, but it is not my calling."
"I am a Hero that was summoned to another world, fought against demons and took part in saving an entire alternate universe, which has since been rged with ours."
"But-"
"This is not a request, nothing will stop from doing this," She narrowed her eyes. "My place is with my friends and family, lead by Sol and Ikaris Vestic, this is a campaign that is bigger than just us, even if my part played is not a large one, I want to do what I can to keep the Sol Collective from collapse, to keep our people safe from the Emporium."
"Tell Unno, if you were in my shoes, knowing that even the small amount of help you can provide is essential to ensuring your daughter doesn't becoma part of an inter-dintional empire that destroys and plunders verything they touch, would you sit still and wait?"
"I..." He shook his head, adjusting his glasses and standing at attention when she began entering the gate. "Thank you, Ma'am, for your service,"
"Shit man, I'm not leaving yet, it's still a few more days from now."
"Oh!" Unno chuckled awkwardly.
"See you soon little man," Renia smiled at him, entering the gate before it disappeared as easily as it had appeared.
"H-how soon... is soon?" Unno slapped his forehead. "This Sol Vestic man, he made the most powerful person on earth jump to his tune by simply showing up," He rested his hand on the glass after walking around the desk and staring out the windows.
"What do I even say to everyone now? She just dumped all of her work on again." He complained, but then turned and went outside, sitting around his desk and turning on the TV in his small office, there too the fight where the woman called Arla was being promoted to Divinity was being stread live.
"How powerful do you think she is, I an, what is a Divine anyway, is it significant? Can a Divine destroy all life on earth, is that the kind of power she is about to possess?" Unno asked, picking up his stress ball as Arla's silhouette appeared on the screen.
Surely, there existed others like herself across the entirety of the collective, but when the whole masses saw Arla's face for the first ti, live rather than as a static image from the Codex, there was an uproar. "She's gorgeous!" Unno thought. "Did Sol Vestic travel the verses and find the most beautiful won from all corners of the multiverse?"

"Understood," Arla nodded, holding her hands outwards and closing her eyes, summoning a set of armour over her body, the sa that she had equipped in her and Dina's fight against Dr'ul. "I am ready." She balled her fists after the mana-amplifying gloves she had designed locked around her hands.

"I know, I'll make it interesting, if what she needs is to break a bottleneck then I will push her to the absolute limit of her power, she wanted to bare witness, and I plan to do so thotoughly."
