My Soul card is a Reaper

And, when the portal opened and she turned around to walk away with her master, Azzy got control over his body but he didn\'t move. In heartbreak, He didn\'t call her either and let her walk away.

Meanwhile, Leah arrived at the location when Azzy was captured inside the divine pillar but couldn\'t come out because of Louis, who didn\'t want unnecessary trouble. The latter firmly didn\'t open the portal and just let her watch the scene from another dimension, stating that she is not in a state of battle and they could certainly be killed if go there recklessly.

After all, if Claire wouldn\'t hesitate to attack Azzy, what are the chances that she cares about their lives? Leah agreed with his reason and helplessly watched it.

Over the next few days, Azzy rarely talked to others. He stayed as a guest at Louis\' house but mostly spent on the top of a snowy mountain watching the stars.

Leah, unfortunately, couldn\'t properly talk to him either as she had to resume stabilizing her realm. Unlike lower realms, which pose a danger of losing control only when one fights, the demigod realm is different.

When one becomes a demigod, one can study the Great laws of the universe.

They could weaponize those laws to wipe out mortal races; they could absorb life from mortal beings such as human civilians and animals to increase their life span; they could inflict natural disasters at will; they could absorb too much natural energy from the planet to refine it into their soul energy, and several other things.

It is why a demigod can lose control even when they are not fighting. Stabilizing the realm is the foremost priority for their safety and the world\'s too.

As a result, Leah had to suppress her emotions and completely put her focus on the goal, of achieving stability as soon as possible.

Roughly two weeks later, under Excalibur\'s guidance and with the help of Neptune and Pluto\'s essences, Leah achieved the stability of her realm and she immediately rushed to the mountain where she sensed his presence, as soon as she was done.

It was evening and the sky looked absolutely beautiful, with stars clearly visible, unlike on Gaia planet where light pollution is high.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, she saw Azzy sitting on a rock and staring at the sky as usual. The temperature was below minus 40 Celsius, which was slightly chilly for Leah, but Azzy seemed unaffected.

Letting out a deep sigh, Leah walked forward and sat beside him. He didn\'t look at her and simply said, "Congratulations, your soul energy seems stable."

"Yeah, sorry for taking a while," Leah spoke apologetically. When there was no response from Azzy, she slowly asked, "How are you holding up?"

"Fine, I guess…" replied Azzy before letting out a sigh in depression, "Actually, I should have expected this much. After all, we had been in a relationship for only a year. And more than three decades passed away for her. The time was enough for her to move on. I think I should do too."

"You are so quick to judge. I didn\'t expect this from you of all people," Leah firmly shook her head, speaking in confidence. "Azrael, when we fused together, I received your memories. I know how much both of you love each other. Honestly, it made me feel jealous."

"What you are trying to say, Leah?" Azzy grew a bit confused. He didn\'t understand what the past had anything to do with Claire\'s current feelings.

Leah said, "Everyone has their own set of circumstances. No matter how she turned out, both of you have yet to talk to each other. Have a conversation with her once and then decide whether to move on or stick to your love. What is the motive of the judiciary? Innocent until guilty…"

"Innocent until guilty, huh…" Azzy\'s eyes widened in realization. The 17-year-old abruptly turned his head to look into her eyes and grabbed her shoulders with a smile on his face, "Thanks, Leah. You are right. I should confront her and get my answers, first. Until then, I cannot make any judgment."

He got up and walked away a few steps before remembering something and turning around, "Leah, will you do me a favor?" His face now looked all vibrant, contrary to his state over the past couple of weeks.

"Hmm?" Leah looked at him in wonder.

While Azzy and Leah continued their hunt the next day, helping out Louis and his tribe, far away from them, on their home planet, trouble started brewing up for Azzy\'s family in more than one way.

Far away in the remote location, Freyles nation, Planet Gaia;

Velez Garcia, once the scion of Garcia\'s family and now nothing more than a disgraced prince, was currently battling Vesyrn Garcia once again.

But, this time, the location was in the wilderness and Vesyrn actually seemed heavily injured, trying his best to survive in the woods by evading the attacks of a giant skeleton, a merged form of Velez\' undead creatures but has the strength of a supreme being.

"hahaha, dodge well, hahaha, dodge…" Velez was laughing at the top of his lungs, standing on the skull of the skeleton king and looking down at his opponent. "C\'mon, call for help. Call that prodigious brat for help. Out of station? No worries. How about you call for your clan\'s secret guardian?

Perhaps, he could save his acting clan head. Or maybe, that old Patriarch? Too bad that he won\'t be able to interfere in our battle."

Meanwhile, in the Arcana world, at the Forest of Death;

Qridus Garcia was trapped in a bony prison and in an unconscious state. A skeletal body that looked like a soul collector was guarding it as two deities of the true god realm were arm wrestling without affecting their surroundings or even destroying the rock beneath their blows. It was Thanatos, the God of Death, and Mother Goddess, Gaia herself.

It looked like Gaia was at an advantage but just slightly.

"You might be able to halt me for a while, but you won\'t be able to escape from the consequences if the kid\'s father dies. You do know who is behind him, don\'t you?" Gaia doesn\'t look pleasant at all, "You will have to face the wrath of the Guardian."

Thanatos let out a smile and answered, "That false god? Your mortal lover merely takes advantage of the powers we gave him and acts all bold, but do you think he dares to go against Olympian Palace? Regardless of our differences in ideologies, we Olympians always stay united against foreign threats. You should know that very well.

My fellow Gods are already angry at his antics for a while (2 million years). As long as they get enough justification, they will make their move against him. Your neutrality will not let you interfere in the matters between those in God\'s realm."

"You might be right," Gaia nodded while letting out a smile, all of a sudden, and further said, "But, you see… he is different from us who were born with everything. He is always improving. The last time he fought a serious battle was over two million years ago, well if I had to count the time according to this world. No one knows how powerful he is at the moment.

Even I can neither see through him nor the depth of his potential."

"Hmpf… whatever… keep boasting…" Thanatos scoffed at her statement and focused on the arm wrestling.
