Jayr POV - Earth, Geia, Mert ty, Lone Oak Farm - 2010

  The moon is slowly rising high iarlit sky while our voy goes around the enclosed area of the farm outlined by the steel feo find and pass through the opening in the fences enclosing the whole Lone Oak Farm that was likely created by the walker horde whetacked the farm using the bined weight and force of their bodies t them down. Onside the farm's perimeters we park our vehicles in a clear area in front of one of the bigger barns before everyos out of their respective means of transport and gather together to discuss our move.

  As soon as we are all together, Rick doesn't waste any time and says, "After a very long and way too exg day we have finally arrived here. I admit it, I didn't hope that we would find what we were searg for so soon, I fully expected that we would have taken at least a few days before finding a pce good enough to start rebuilding our future for the long term. In fact, I wasn't even that sure it existed in the first pce, but here we are!"

  After saying that, Rick takes a brief pause where he looks at everyone's faces before he tinues, "Now, I know that everyone is very tired after everything we have gohrough today, but I ask you o push where we all carefully ched secure this barn before we all take our well-deserved rest."

  At this point, Glenn asks, "Why do we use this barn? 't we use that farmhouse close to the entrance?" which makes Daryl snort out loud and roll his eyes.

  At the same time, I chuckle a little at his antid calmly expin, "There are quite a few reasons behind that decision. First, the farm is further away from the entrahan the farmhouse which means that the smell of rotting corpses will be much weaker and much more bearable. Sed, it is already too dark and we are way too tired to safely explore and clear the farmhouse, especially sidering that the ces of walkers being trapped inside are much higher than the ces that we won't find anything ihird, the doors of this barn are wide open which means that it is much more likely that any walker that was hiding inside was attracted to our bait and killed in that battle making the barn much safer to ched explore. Even more so if you sider that we use our vehicles' headlights to illumihe area inside of the barn making it even less likely that a possible walker stuside may take any of us by surprise. These are the main reasons ant to use the barn as a shelter tonight instead of the farmhouse."

  Hearing that, Glenn nods and says, "Got it. Barn safe, farmhouse danger." Rick smiles before he says, "That's right. But don't worry this is only for tonight. The first thing we will do tomorrow is to make sure that the farmhouse is clear of any danger and safe to use, and after that, we will move on to fully secure the rest of the farm."

  Shortly after Rick said that Rick, Shane, Daryl, Man, and I quickly walked into the barn to make sure it was safe while the others used our vehicles' headlights to further illumihe interior of the barn.

  Looking around, I immediately noticed that this particur barn was mostly used as an animal shelter, and by the milking equipment all around and the shape and size of the free stalls, it is clear that the animals iion were quite big in size, very likey cows, which means that this farm is not only equipped with fields for crops and pastures but also for dairy products, basically this farm very likely produced a bit of everything.

  While looking around, I and the other also make sure that the barn is pletely safe and are also very thh in our searches to the point that we stab through the hay to ehat no walker is hidden inside.

  After spending a few minutes like that, we finally firm that the barn is safe and invite everyone inside where we quickly start to prepare the pce for the night, like making some basic beds in the free stalls using the hay, spraying some strong deodorant to try to cover the smell of dry animal feces ah, further secure the pce by creating some simple traps that will warn us in case someone or something tries to ehe barn, use some mps to light up the area, and so on.

  Once we have done all that, we turn off our vehicles' headlights and firmly close the barn's doors before some of the more tired people retire in their free stalls to sleep or rest while ather together to spend some time chatting or pying some card games for some time, at least until they too decide to retire in their free stall to rest for the rest of the night.

  Talking about the free stalls, we are lucky that this barn is quite big and that there are enough free stalls for everyone even if many of us had to share the stall with some other people, but since roup is posed of mostly families with only 6 people being without aive so it wasn't that much of a problem.

  The groups iion are Rid his wife Lori and son Carl, Man and his son Duane, Andrea with her sister Amy, Dale, T-Dog, and Glenn all together, Carol with her daughter Sophia, Morales, his wife Miranda, and their children Eliza and Luiz, Ruben, Almast and their daughter Ana, and stly Sofya and her epan.

  In the end, Shane, Daryl, and I are the only ones who ended up with their own stalls which is quite good, especially sionight I want to fully foy Ination as something very important is about to happen in my home universe.

  Jayr (Aegiochusmon) POV - Saint Seiya Universe, Earth, Greece, Sanctuary - 1993

  At the moment, I'm standing right in front of the Athena Colossus, a colossal statue overlooking the Sanctuary from the topmost part that is, in fact, the sealed form of Athena's God Cloth, as I keep my gaze focused on the lone figure standing in the middle of the pza that divides the Athena Colossus from the Great Temple.

  Together with me, there are my wives, Saori, Seika, Tio, Alvida, and Robin, our children Kharna, Galen, and Seiji, and our family pet Python who is watg over our kids as usual.

  But they aren't the only ones present at the moment, there are also Saga, the Great Pope and Gemini Gold Saint, and all the old Saints present.

  Saga's twin brother Kanon, who is also the Gemini Gold Saint, Kiki who is the new Aries Gold Saint succeeding his master Mu, Aldebaran who is the Taurus Gold Saint, Deathmask who is the cer Gold Saint, Aiolia who is the Leo Gold Saint, Dohko who is the legendary Libra Gold Saint, my brother-in-w Milo who is the Scorpio Gold Saint with my pregnant big sister Shaina, Aiolos who is the resurrected Sagittarius Gold Saint, Shura who is the Capri Gold Saint, Camus who is the Aquarius Gold Saint, and Aphrodite who is the Pisces Gold Saint.

  In addition to them there are also two very important guests present here, my father-in-w Zeus, the God of the Sky and the King of Olympian Gods, and my mother-in-w Hera, the Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth, and the Queen of Olympian Gods.

  They are all here for the same reason, the beautiful short woman standing in the middle of the pza with short bck hair that is kept in a tiny bob, brown eyes, and wearing gsses, she is also my wife, Eri Nakamura.

  The reason for their presence is that after so many years of accumution of Faith energy and preparations, my cute Eri is finally ready to take that final step and asd to Godhood.

  But sihis isn't her home universe, Saori thought that it would be better for Eri if she asded with the approval and prote of her father Zeus which would be useful iing any mishaps that may arise because of her status as a person not of this universe, especially from the other Pantheons.

  Zeus quickly agreed once we informed him and his reason for that is quite clear and pragmatibsp;

  Thanks to Eri's e with Saori and me, she is already quite close to the Olympian Pantheon, which means that once she asds, even if she isn't officially part of the Olympian Pantheon she will still have a very close retionship with it and thus making the Pantheon strohanks to her presenething that is very mueeded since Hades died and Poseidohis universe weakening the Greek Pantheon by a lot.

  After waiting for a few minutes in silence, something finally starts to move as I sense Eri's Spiral o starting to stir and see a dark grey aura envelope her body, and at the same time, the sky itself turns very dark as immense dark bck clouds fully cover the once clear blue sky, it almost looks like the world is about to fa immi camity.

  Shortly after that, small fshes of pure golden light started to slowly surge from her dark grey aura, at first there were only a few but the more time passed the more their number increased, and with it, Eri's aura also started to swell.

  At the same time, an unusually mysterious feeling suddenly spreads from within her body and sciousness, this feeling is peculiar and indescribable almost as if everything is being upgraded, like her entire body and soul are now slowly expanding to a world pletely unlike before.

  The more time passes, the more her aura's dark grey cives way to a pure golden color, and at the same time, I clearly sehat her whole being is slowly ging, being something more than what it was before, being something divine.

  At one point, the aura she is releasing isn't dark grey anymore, but it bees all of the same pure gold.

  But that doesn't mean that her assion process is plete, in fact, it has just started as quickly after that, a gold ripples of energy are released from her body as her being bees further refined.

  At the same time, the gold energy ripples she is releasing tio expand without stopping c the whole world and even beyond it and whehey pass, faint figures be seen slowly rising from the ground all of them fag toward Eri.

  Suddenly something ges, a fsh of golden light appears in Eri's eyes, and all the faint figures that emerged kneel down at exactly the same time.

  Shortly after that, the golden energy ripples she released start to verge back to her further refining her body, mind, and soul, and whe ripple enters her body, her whole being goes through a plete transformation as the aura around her body turns into a massive golden pilr that pierces into the sky blowing away all the dark bck clouds.

  But behind those thick dark bck clouds there isn't the usual blue sky, in its pce there is an expanse of upside-down dark ti with areas filled with tless buildings and structures and if I focus on those images a little bit more, I also see the figures of many creatures kneeling all over the pce, some are skeletal, some transparent like ghosts, others even appear pletely human if on igheir pale skin tone.

  Seeing that, I immediately realize that what is projected in the sky is actually Eri's Undead Realm which just like her is going through some kind of transformation as a result of Eri's assion.

  At the same time, I hear Zeus ent as he looks up at the sky, "Oh... She already has a mostly plete realm of the dead. This is very impressive, especially sidering that she likely built something like this on her own as a mortal." followed by Hera who adds, "Indeed, her realm of the dead only needed a little bit of Divihority to truly bee plete and funal to the point that the souls of the dead reach for it on their own."

  Hearing that, I 't help but smirk and feel proud of my wife while thinking, 'Indeed, Eri is simply an astonishing genius, especially when it es to magic. After all, everything I know about magic I've lear from her.'

  Shortly after thinking that, an invisible pulse of energy is released by Eri's Undead Realm, and in respoo it, the faint figures that emerged from the ground at the start of Eri's assion started to quickly asd toward the Undead Realm projected in the sky.

  At this point it is clear that those faint figures are actually souls of people who remained oh for one reason or another, and the more souls joined Eri's Undead Realm, the more ges it goes through as it starts to expand as more nd starts to get created.

  But then suddenly something incredible happens as four massive ethereal rivers appear out of nowhere and start to flow toward the stantly expanding Undead Realm.

  Seeing that, Zeus 't help but excim in shock, "Those are the Acheron, the Cocytus, the Styx, and the Lethe Riviers!! What are they doing here!?"

  He isn't the only one shocked by their sudden appearance as I thought that they ended up destroyed together with the rest of Hades' Underworld, and at the same time, I start to get worried about what their appearance may imply and look at Saori asking with my gaze is this is something I should worry about and should do something about it.

  When I look at her, I see that she is looking back at me with a calm gaze and a mischievous smile on her face which calms me a little even if I'm still not sure of what is going on.

  At the same time, Hera looks as the four mythical rivers also flow into Eri's Undead Realm fusing with it, and calmly ents, "It is clear that the fragments of what remains of Hades' Underworld are fusing with young Eri's realm of the dead. The reason for that is also quite clear if you take a moment to think about it. Fufufu... It seems that our dear daughter has already pnned for everything."

  Hearing my mother-in-w's words reassures me even more as it means that what is happening is something that both Eri and Saori already discussed beforehand and it is very likely that it is within their pns, just like the fact to not tell me about it as some form of prank.

  Meanwhile, in respoo his wife's words, my father-in-w Zeus quickly calms down and after a few moments he cmps his hands and excims, "Ah! That's right!" before he expins, "Young Eri is asding to Godhood in the Sanctuary, an area uhe domain of our Olympian Pantheon, and she is doing so in the presence of Athena the Goddess who actually killed Hades, and us the King and the Queen of the Olympian Gods with their personal approval heless! Moreover, it is quite clear that young Eri's Divinity is reted to the dead. With all these factors, it is very likely that the universe itself now siders Eri as Hades' official successor, and because of that what little remains of his realm of the dead is now being ied by her. So this was all Athena's pn, huh? Oh well, I'm not against it, someone o take Hades' pd this will relieve me of the burden of maintaining the few fragments left behind with my powers. I'll allow it!"

  As soon as he finishes saying that, a distinct sound of thunder is heard in the distand more ethereal fragments of Hades' Underworld start to appear and join Eri's ever-expanding Undead Realm among which I reize pieces of the Fields of Asphodel where ral souls are weled, pieces of Tartarus, the prison for evil souls, and even pieces of Elysium where the souls of heroes and the righteous are weled.

  All these fragments quickly fuse with Eri's Undead Realm and start to slowly be restored and reformed to Eri's personal taste while still leaving behind traces of their Greek in.

  At this point, Saori ands, "Shaka, it is your tur's help Eri make that st final push."

  In response, Shaka nods and says, "As you wish, Lady Athena." before he pulls out a mada from his pocket and it isn't just any mada, but THE Mada, the oh 108 darkned beads all taining the souls of the 108 Specters we defeated and sealed during the st Holy War against Hades.

  Then Shaka unleashes his o and shouts, "Moksha!" before he lightly shakes the Mada, and the moment, 108 beams of light are quickly released from it that instantly fly toward Eri's evolving Undead Realm.

  A few seds ter 109 beams of light all fall from the sky aly nd on the ground in front of Eri unleashing a brief blinding light.

  Shortly after the light fades away and I see 109 familiar figures standing in front of Eri, 108 of them are all donning dark-colored armor, some of them are violet, indigo, dark grey, dark green, and even bck, and dark red, but there is also anure who is wearing a bck robe with few gold ors but even so, it is clear that these figures are the Specters, the warriors that make up the Underworld's army who reside in the Underworld where they serve many funs, maintaining and proteg their world, inflict punishment to sinners, or simply dealing with rogue elements.

  Among those Specters there are 4 in particur that catch my attention as they are the oanding in front of everyone and as such are the closest to my wife, Eri, in addition, they also possess the stro ong all the figures that suddenly appeared.

  Of the three donning a Surplice, one possesses the physical build of a young adult with an age of around 20 years old, he is about 189 cm tall, a trait that makes him a taller than average person, and has an athletid stocky body with a fair plexion, his face has rather coarse features that make him look like a serious and aggressive looking person, the most promi features of his face are his huge eyebrows, whi a single one, and his sharp and cold eyes, he has blond hair, which is tousled.

  The armor he is wearing is posed of a headpiece that is a helm in the shape of the wyvern's head with three sharp horns on it, the chest piece protects the whole upper body, and its maiures are, the totem of a monster's face emerging with eyes ah, and the wyvern wings on its back, and is joined with the waist piece that protects the whole area, the shoulder pieces are made up of four yered e, the arms pieces are ornate and have a sharp edge at the height of the elbow, while the legs pieces are simpler but the feet ends with the wyvern's talons, all in shades of purple.

  Another one is he is a handsome young man in his mid-20s with long, white hair and his eyes are light e, while his skin color is pale white and is just as tall as the other one, but he is overall slightly slimmer.

  His armor is bd has huge wings, they have 3 sets of feathers, and the arms of the wings have a series of articuted overpping ptes, the shoulder pieces are very long to cover the entire arm and are segmented into 8 overpping parts that taper and beore angur and end in a poie so that when viewed in profile it simutes the plumage of the animal, the waist pieces are long and pointed, c the ehigh, the tips are slightly raised outwards, and the headpiece is a helmet that covers most of his head, except for his face.

  The st of the three has the appearance of a young man, with a pale white plexion and semi-long bck hair, his eyes are bck with some purplish tinge, he is just as tall as the others beside him and his build is midway betweeher two.

  He also wears his respective Surplice like every Specter which is darker in color pared to the other two, his headpiece is a bird-shaped helmet that is encrusted with gems that simute the bird's eyes and it also has horns, wiended vertically, its chest i part carries a design that shows its wings, it has a great prote si covers all the body except for the fad some of its extremities, the arms and legs pieces do not differ mue from the other as both carry cws with protectors that protrude from their extremities.

  It is clear that they are the Celestial Savage Star Wyvern Rhadamanthys, the Celestial ar Griffon Minos, and the Celestial Valiaar Garuda Aiacos, the three Judges of the Underworld, the stro among all the Specters.

  heless is the fourth figure that surprises me the most, the oanding in front of evehree Judges of the Underworld, the one wearing a simple bck robe with gold or, the one sp a o eveer than that of every other Specter present.

  He is a very tall young man with light green long hair and simir facial features to Mu and Kiki, as well as the two tikas on his forehead all characteristic symbols of the Muviaage.

  He is her than Shion, Aries Shion, the te Pope of the Sanctuary who was resurrected as a Specter during the st Holy War but who kept being faithful to Athena and did everything in his power to help her win the war until his time among the living came to an end making him fade away in motes of light.

  But he is now very different from the Shion I met during the st Holy War, at the moment his o is strohan ever before, to the point that it is easily parable to the likes of Saga, Kanon, Aiolos, and Shaka making the one I felt in the past look like a small ember pared to it and this makes me realize that Hades likely did not resurrect Shion at his full power.

  Before I question myself about the motives behind his presence here, Eri fully unleashes her Spiral o now imbued with her Divihority.

  In response, all the Specters kneel down without aation on their part as they all decre all at the same time with voices full vi.

  ""We all greet and swear our loyalty to Lady Eri. The Goddess of the Dead and Ruler of the Underworld!""

  Hearing that, Eri smiles and nods as her whole being pleted her transformation, now she isn't simply my wife Eri Nakamura, the summoned hero from another universe, she is my wife Eri, Goddess of the Dead and Queen of the Underworld.

  Then Eri looks at Shion who is standing still, looking a little baffeled about what is happening around him, and says, "Aries Shion. The te Pope of Athena's Sanctuary, I heard many great things about you and know that your loyality to Athena is sed to none."

  In respoo those words, Shion calmly asks, "Then why did your Ladyship bother to evoche me despite knowing that? I am and will always be a Saint of Athena."

  Eri simply smiles in respoo his words before she says, "And that's pletily fih me. Different from my predecessor I have no ill iions against Athena, in fact my retionship with her is quite good. Proof of that is that she allowed me to go though my assion in her own Sanctuary uhe prote of her Saints."

  Hearing that, Shion finally takes notice of his surroundings and quickly notices our presence as he quickly and respectfully greets Saori before his gaze moves to the Gold Saints and as soon as he notices Aiolos figure he excims, "Aiolos!? You are alive? How!?"

  Odyin
