The following time.
Alistair.
Persephone.
Ker.
All were busy.
Alistair and Persephone worked on restructuring, dismantling the original framework to build anew.
Ker, in the Akame ga Kill! world, led Specters to establish faith and build a faith nation.
Simultaneously.
Per Alistair's orders, she set up more barriers to ease future anchoring of the entire world.
The portal.
Alistair hadn't closed it.
The women could come and go freely.
Of course.
This excluded Esdeath and Kurome.
Esdeath pursued power.
And Kurome, reconciled with her sister, had no lingering attachment to her past.
Time.
A month passed.
"Huff~~~"
Alistair and Persephone exhaled in unison.
A month of relentless work.
Both were exhausted.
"The initial setup is finally complete."
Alistair lounged on the sofa, slightly weary. "Next, anchor the world and drag it in."
"Dust, rest a bit."
Persephone sat beside him, letting him rest on her lap.
She gently massaged his head.
Fatigue hit.
Alistair drifted to sleep.
Though he'd ascended to godhood, becoming the god of darkness.
His time as such was short; many human habits lingered.
Of course.
Knowing Alistair, he likely wouldn't change them.
"Lord Hades?"
"Your Majesty…"
Pandora entered, seeing Alistair asleep on Persephone's lap, hesitating.
Persephone smiled. "It's fine. I've blocked sound with divine energy. Let Dust rest."
"Yes!"
Pandora bowed slightly and sat nearby.
This was Persephone's request.
Subordinate gods.
Dependents.
At work, hierarchy existed, but otherwise, they were sisters, no need for strict divisions.
"Lord Hades."
Pandora asked softly, "Have you and His Majesty finished with the Underworld?"
"Yes."
Persephone nodded with a smile. "It's done. Though only preliminary, it's enough."
Alistair and Persephone together.
Divided the dimensional universe of the Underworld into three layers.
The upper layer: Elysium.
Inaccessible to any but subordinate gods and dependents.
The middle: the Underworld, arranged in a Hakoniwa structure.
In the future.
Even if more worlds rivaling the Underworld emerged, they could seamlessly integrate.
The lower layer: a multiverse structure, with each incorporated world appearing as a world bubble.
In truth, as more worlds overlapped.
They'd form a complete multiverse, or even…
"This…"
Pandora, hearing Persephone's description, covered her mouth in shock. "Lord Hades, this setup is staggering."
"If."
"A single misstep."
"The dimensional universe of the Underworld could collapse."
Triad.
Hakoniwa.
Multiverse.
Why are world structures so varied?
Because coexistence is nearly impossible.
Yet now.
Alistair and Persephone achieved it.
"Heh heh heh~~~"
Persephone chuckled gently. "I know. I only handled the setup. The true core is Dust."
"Your Majesty…"
Pandora looked at the sleeping Alistair with complex emotions.
Her lord, newly ascended, had reached such heights?
Persephone explained, "Dust, as the god of darkness, bears the origin of 666—the supreme rank. Even absolute gods can't compare."
"Because of this."
"Such a rank enables this."
"And."
"Now is the easiest time; it's just the beginning."
"Fix everything in the first step."
"Otherwise."
"The further we go, the harder corrections become."
Persephone's words made Pandora nod repeatedly, understanding.
"Dark Omniversal Cosmos."
"True Hell."
"The future…"
"A glorious future, yet one filled with hope!"
Persephone sighed softly.
"…"
Pandora fell silent.
Such terrifying ambition.
But…
Upon reflection.
It seemed.
All was within reach.
Her lord, with the supreme rank of 666 as the god of darkness, was on the right path.
With the Dimensional Star Chart, having laid the initial framework, steady progress was enough.
Even.
Just the first step yielded 48 Demon Teigu wielders, akin to the 108 Specters.
Evil Stars.
Demon Teigu.
Both, in essence, shared infinite evolution potential.
Of course.
Infinite evolution.
The further along, the harder it became, unless the Specters or Teigu wielders were exceptionally gifted, or Alistair, as their master, granted immense boons.
Otherwise.
At a certain point, they'd hit a bottleneck.
But…
That was for the future. From Pandora's perspective, the future was radiant—a clear, dazzling path.
And not a mere promise, but a path walkable step by step.
