"So it seems, I assume you want to celebrate this achievement of defying the laws of nature… once again?" Gabriel asked a bit hesitantly.
Simon: "Probably… but I won't do it."
Gabriel: "What why?"
Simon: "Why? Because you didn't want others to know about it. Everyone is entitled to their secrets."
Gabriel: "You know when you act so understanding, it makes others feel evens more guilty for using you then they already do."
Simon: "Don't feel guilty, I'm very confident in my judge of character. Just the fact that you felt guilty in the first place proves that you're not so bad."
Gabriel: "Still I'd like to apologise anyway, I'm so sorry for using your skills and using your surbordinate as a test subject."
Looking down at Gabriel, I knew that just dismissing his crimes wouldn't comfort him, "By authority of chaos, I hereby forgive you for your transgressions against the god of chaos. You are expunged from your crimes against the civilians of Eden."
Gabriel who was now kneeling down to me in apology now looked up at my smiling face, " You're a real tease for a god, you know."
Simon: " I know but there is something that I want to know. Why were you so adamant on Yuura being the test subject in the first place?"
" Well, the truth is… she wasn't actually meant to be a test subject…"
My eyes widened when he said this, "…she was the target all along, but why though?"
" Um… do I have to say why?" Gabriel was extremely hesitant.
" Fine then, I respect your wishes, but if anything bad befalls upon my world or people then I can assure you that my kindness will run out."
Gabriel got up from his kneeling position, " I wouldn't doubt it for a second." My threat actually seemed to satisfy Gabriel quite a bit.
" Then I assume you want to end this project here then?"
" If you wanna continue then you can have the rights to it but I see no reason to further involved myself anymore. Thank you Lord Simon… for fulfilling my wish."
The moment Gabriel looked up, he saw that me aswell as the veil of fog surrounding us had vanished and he saw Ramiris and Beretta fly over in a panic, " Gabriel, what happened, I felt something disturb the labyrinth, was it Guy again? Of course it would be that Demon."
" No need to worry Lady Ramiris, it wasn't Lord Guy and it wasn't anything bad, it was just a simple transaction."

" I'm ready when you are." Hinata readied her rapier to spar, her opponent manifested a black sword.
Nox: " Oh, I'm ready. HAHAHA!"
Hinata had been requesting to spar with one of Pneuma's lords to further her experience with stronger beings. Unfortunately for her, she basically chose to fight a weaker Milim Nava.
Hinata manifested her new spirit armor forged by Necrozma in their own solar body that reduced stamina consumption and was far stronger then her previous one. The last benefit was that it was attached to her spiritual body so she would maintain some weaker benefits of it when unequipped.
Both Nox and Hinata charged at each other, they blades clashing at the center. The resulting shockwave vibrated through Hinata's body and rattled her enough that Nox had already gained an advantage over her and could launch his next attack before she could get her bearings.
The next slash came and quite literally melted through her rapier despite her blocking it last second.
Hinata fell down to the ground, her rapier completely broken clean in half. The rest of the saints watching this were completely dumbfounded, Hinata was the strongest of them all and this spirit had treated her like child's play.
Hinata: "Can I request a rematch?"
Nox: "Do you believe the result will change simply because you believe it will?"
Hinata: "No but fighting an opponent such as you will surely improve my strength and give me much more experience."
There was quiet for a moment and then laughter, "I like your attitude kid." Nox then pointed to a tube on outskirts of the battlefield, "Just put your weapon in there and it will be repaired to perfect condition and we can resume our battle."
Hinata followed his instructions and just as he said, the rapier came out better then it did before she fought with it, 'Jeez, this place is evens more technologically advanced then my old modern world.'
Just as the battle was about to began a new, Orion came there with a basket full of snacks for everyone, " You shouldn't be fighting back to back like that, rest before your fight, it was obvious that you were extremely rattled from that strike Lady Hinata."

"What is this place exactly?" Rimuru asked no one as he had just entered a new world that was so much different to the other worlds within Eden.
"Lord Simon did say we would find a large nest filled with different monsters here." Diablo confirmed, unconvinced though.
They were currently within a forest and their magic senses weren't exactly working properly… until they reached a clearing.
They had suddenly found themselves within what can only resemble a beehive but made of wood, like a large mansion in the air suspended by the trees.
Rimuru and his companions got closer to the hive when suddenly the bottom opened up and it quickly moved down to the floor.
"Is that meant to be an elevator?" Rimuru speculated. He took a step onto the thing alongside Shion and Diablo and sure enough, it began to lift them into the hive.
When they got in there, it showed an eleborate maze of tunnels leading to different rooms.
Rimuru was fascinated by the new species before his eyes that Raphael said were completely new and created right here in this world.
'Raphael, where is here though?'
{From the records within the astral clocktower, this place is apparently called Amphoreus. A spiritual world that purposely simulates a human civilization.}
'That's incredible. Wait, what do they need simulating for?'
{I'm not sure, it seems Simon has placed safeguards to prevent the truth of this places purpose from others outside Eden.}
'So either this is a massive secret or Simon is paranoid. You know what, scratch that, it's most likely both.'
"Hello there, is there something that I can help you all with?"
