"So, Miss Stelle is fine now?"
Although Castorice had already sensed Stelle's aura of life and knew it must have been Sister Lumina's doing, she asked just to be sure.
"Yes. Since you've become a Demigod too, Castorice, it was only a matter of time before Stelle recovered. I just took care of her problem a bit early."
Lumina smiled slightly and nodded, confirming Castorice's question.
"I see." Castorice didn't say much more.
Far from minding that her own Sister Lumina had beaten her to helping Miss Stelle with her physical problem, Castorice was... filled with gratitude.
Since Sister Lumina had helped Miss Stelle and solved many of Castorice's problems, Castorice definitely had to thank her.
As for how to thank her...
Maybe she should just give herself completely to Sister Lumina for a while...
During that time, no matter what Sister Lumina wanted to do to her, Castorice would absolutely not resist...
Yes, just as those words implied, no matter what it was, Castorice would absolutely not resist.
Of course, this naturally included those... lewd and embarrassing things.
Um... if such a thing actually happened, it should be a reward for Castorice, not a thank you to Sister Lumina, right?
Castorice blushed, muttering to herself.
Using gratitude as an excuse to seek a "reward" for herself... No, no, Castorice, how could you do that!
Such an immoral thing must absolutely, absolutely not be done!
Castorice quickly suppressed the thought in her heart, pushing it back into the deepest recesses of her mind to quietly await its next emergence...
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Castorice said to the group, "Then... since Miss Stelle is fine now, let's all get out of here quickly."
"The Nether Realm is not a place worth staying in for long."
"If we stay any longer, we might still lose ourselves and end up trapped in the Nether Realm forever."
Castorice gently warned everyone of the Nether Realm's dangers, then immediately prepared to send them out.
Although, judging by Sister Lumina and Big Sister Herta's strength, the so-called Nether Realm wouldn't have any effect on them at all.
But Miss Stelle and Mem would be affected.
If they stayed in the Nether Realm for too long, they might truly become a part of it.
By then, even Castorice, the Demigod of [Death] and Master of the Nether Realm, might have no way to deal with it...
Although this wouldn't be a problem for Sister Lumina at all.
But they couldn't trouble Sister Lumina for everything!
This was a problem that could be avoided from the start, and there was absolutely no need to let it manifest in reality.
The most correct method was to solve the problem at its root by sending Stelle and Mem out of the Nether Realm.
"Mm-hmm, let's get out of here quickly." Mem raised both hands in agreement with Castorice's suggestion.
Although this Nether Realm looked very beautiful, with no trace of the horrors associated with such a place.
But... but the more dangerous something is, the more it will use beautiful things to hide itself.
It's called the Nether Realm, after all; it definitely couldn't be a friendly place.
Just because nothing's wrong now doesn't mean something won't suddenly happen in the next second.
To prevent such a thing from happening, and for the sake of their own safety, it was best to leave here quickly.
The words "want to leave" were practically written all over Mem's little face, making her look somewhat comical.
"Um... I'm sorry, Mem." After hearing Mem's words, Castorice fell into a brief silence.
Then she apologized.
"Eh?" Hearing Castorice's apology, Mem scratched her little head in confusion. "Why are you apologizing, Little Cas? You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"
The person who should apologize isn't apologizing, so why is the person who shouldn't be apologizing the one who just apologized?
Mem glanced at Lumina beside her and grumbled inwardly.
Without a doubt, the person Mem felt should apologize was Lumina.
This bad woman had done so many rough things to her. If she didn't apologize, who should?
In the end, Mem didn't seem to have received much of an apology...
Well, okay, there were a few words, but not many.
Out of ten rough actions, Lumina might only apologize for two or three, and for the others, she would firmly believe she was in the right.
She might say, "Does it feel good? Does it feel good? Is it comfortable? Since it feels good, since it's comfortable, how could my actions be wrong?"
"Both parties acted willingly, so how can you say I'm wrong?"
If she put it that way, Mem really couldn't find any reason to argue.
Because she wasn't wrong; Mem herself felt very good, very comfortable... Even if she tried to be stubborn, she couldn't harden her heart against the truth.
Facts were facts; no matter how she tried to deny them, they remained true.
"I..." Castorice fell silent for a moment, then spoke honestly. "After becoming the [Death] Demigod, I also realized how terrible the Nether Realm is."
"For the Order of the Nether Realm, and for the Order of all living beings in Amphoreus, I must remain within the Nether Realm and cannot leave..."
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, all of Mem's previous thoughts vanished as she hurriedly asked, "Then Little Cas, how long do you have to stay in the Nether Realm?"
"How long?" Castorice's beautiful purple eyes showed a hint of confusion. She shook her head and replied, "I don't know."
"But this time will definitely be very, very long."
"It's also possible... that this time will be forever."
"In the worst-case scenario, I'm afraid... I'll have to remain in the Nether Realm forever."
"This... This..." Mem's face was filled with anxiety and worry.
Remaining in the Nether Realm forever... and the Nether Realm is the world of the dead.
What difference did that make? Little Cas would be no different from being dead.
"B... no, that's not right, Sister Lumina, quickly think of something." Realizing she was completely powerless and couldn't do anything in the face of this situation.
Mem immediately turned her pleading gaze to Lumina.
Seeing Lumina still wearing a faint smile as if she wasn't affected by Castorice's words at all, the emotions in Mem's heart actually began to gradually calm down.
However, the next second, what Lumina said made her no longer calm...
"See, you're panicking again." Facing the extremely anxious Mem, Lumina smiled gently, "If panicking were useful, what would be the point of having a solution?"
Mem: "..."
"You wicked woman, how can you still have the mood to joke at a time like this!"
Thoughts gushed out of Mem's mind, and among the many words, she finally chose this sentence to reprimand Lumina's behavior.
"A time like this?" Hearing this, Lumina's exquisite little face was immediately covered with a look of confusion, "Is this a critical moment?"
"No, right? Aren't we just simply having a normal chat with Castorice?"
Lumina's face was filled with a seamless expression of confusion, as if what they were currently going through was not a matter of life and death.
But rather just one of countless mundane daily occurrences.
"You..." Hearing Lumina's words, Mem was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to counter them.
Because she acted so convincingly, Mem couldn't see any trace of a performance at all.
Even if Mem knew this wicked woman was acting, she had no way to handle it.
After all, this wicked woman was so strong that if she tried to find words to reprimand her, Lumina might even turn the tables on her.
"Isn't it just a matter of bringing Little Sister Castorice out of the Nether Realm? For such a simple thing, what's the difference between it and something I do every day?"
In the end, these were the words she received.
And afterwards, she would be ruthlessly mocked by this wicked woman...
But... there was probably no need to worry.
If something happened to Little Cas, this wicked woman would likely be even more worried and anxious than Mem herself...
At this moment, Mem felt as if she had seen through the ultimate truth.
If something truly happened to Little Cas, this wicked woman, Lumina, would definitely not stand by and do nothing. She would definitely take action to help Little Cas resolve all her problems.
Because she... has always adored all beautiful girls.
For this reason, Mem was not worried.
Little Cas definitely wouldn't, and couldn't, have anything happen to her!
And very soon, the thoughts in Mem's heart were also verified.
"Heh heh." Lumina smiled faintly, then looked at Castorice and said softly: "Little Sister Castorice, as long as the Order of the Nether Realm is sorted out, you can leave the Nether Realm at any time, right?"
"Uh... that's what you'd think, but..." Castorice was first stunned, then nodded, and then continued with a troubled expression:
"But only when I'm in the Nether Realm can it have Order..."
These two points contradicted each other.
If the Nether Realm had Order, then Castorice could leave.
But only if Castorice was in the Nether Realm could the Nether Realm have Order.
No matter what, Castorice had to stay in the Nether Realm.
Because she was the Order of the Nether Realm.
"Oh, that's simple."
"Can't we just establish a new Order for the Nether Realm? Let this new Order of the Nether Realm manage the Nether Realm automatically."
Herta, Castorice, Mem: "?"
Hearing Lumina say those words in such a flat tone, everyone present was a bit stunned, uh... except for Stelle.
Even Herta was stunned.
Do you want to hear what this Lumina is saying? Just establish a new Order for the Nether Realm, and that's it?
This is much more difficult than creating a planet.
After all, so-called Order must follow some kind of consistent process, while also having the ability to adapt to random changes to prevent some sudden events from causing the entire Order to enter a state of paralysis.
Of course, this wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was, listening to her flat and casual tone, creating a new Order was, for her, extremely simple?
Creating a new Order, Herta could also do it, it was indeed not too difficult.
But while it wasn't difficult, it was also true that it wasted a lot of time.
And listening to Lumina's meaning, she seemed to be able to establish this Order in a short period of time?
That was indeed a bit... making even Herta feel it was ridiculous.
As for whether Lumina could complete this matter, Herta felt she definitely could.
After all, with so many beautiful girls around her, she wouldn't embarrass herself in front of beautiful girls.
Since she said this sentence in front of beautiful girls, it proved she had absolute confidence in completing this matter.
"This girl... how is she so powerful."
Herta muttered to herself.
The more powerful Lumina was, the more it meant Herta had to be completely overshadowed by her.
Herta didn't like this feeling.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
Aside from acting tough with her words, all she could do was silently be overshadowed by her.
It was still fine for now, since Lumina was only overshadowing her in words and raw power.
If things ever got to that point, and Lumina still completely overshadowed her, Herta wouldn't take it very well.
"Fine, we'll deal with future matters in the future."
Facing such a helpless situation, even Madam Herta couldn't help but slack off a little.
After all, that hadn't happened yet, so the so-called being completely overshadowed naturally wouldn't appear.
But the future was uncertain.
However, that would be a problem for the future, so it didn't matter for now.
At least it had nothing to do with the current Herta.
So, there was no need to worry about it.
"Si- Sister Lumina, can you re- really do such a thing?"
After a while, Castorice's voice sounded slightly trembling, breaking the silence that had lasted for some time.
Castorice's words weren't a question, but an expectation.
She was hoping her Sister Lumina could demonstrate her divine power and then solve this problem.
That way... that way Castorice could stay by Sister Lumina's side forever.
At least... at least until Sister Lumina leaves Amphoreus.
"Mem..."
Beside her, Mem didn't say anything, but she also looked at Lumina with an expectant gaze.
Having reached this point, the people present naturally wouldn't hold any doubts about Lumina.
After all, this was the outcome everyone was hoping for. Rather than doubting, it was better to hope.
If it succeeded, that would be best. Even if it didn't, that was the original ending, and there would be nothing to regret.
"Why wouldn't I be able to?" Lumina asked back with a smile. "Not only can I do it, but it's also very simple."
Although Lumina had an even simpler method, the level of showing off for that method wasn't as great as this one.
If Lumina were alone, she would definitely choose the former. It would not only be faster but also less effort.
But now, Lumina wasn't the only one present.
And everyone else was a beautiful girl. In this situation, Lumina definitely had to put on a big show.
If she didn't show off a bit, it would be a disservice to the name "Lumina."
After humming softly in her heart, Lumina took a step forward under everyone's gaze.
Immediately, a magnificent staff appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Although the staff was completely useless to Lumina.
But it could be used to show off!
If it could be used to show off, then it was useful!
Looking at the flower-covered Nether Realm before her, Lumina's small eyes flickered. After a moment of thought, she raised the staff in her hand with a solemn expression:
"Then let me be the one to establish a new Order for the Nether Realm!"
