Mira and Mera had been dealing with Tiamat. For each world or Realm that was under their control. Pieces of the upcoming War and the survival of the inhabitants was very much clear to them.
"We have not had enough time to fully set the Domain of the Gods up. It has enough pieces to allow the invaders to be weakened. What about you?" Mera asked.
"The world's have already been placed under a protective Domain to not allow the invaders to enter anymore. Thanks to Rex weakening them early on, the forces that will invade will be a quarter less if not around that much." Tiamat spoke.
The two goddesses were extremely happy. At least the confirmation that this was going easier now.
"How long till you believe that Rex is ready to enter the Ninth Mortal Realm?" Tiamat asked.
"Not long why?" Mira asked.
"I know of three different worlds that could use a little help. The Shadow People affected the commoners at first and this slowed down the corruption rate. It has started to slowly affect the higher ranking people.
Honestly, a day at each world and the main points of corruption are stopped. The rest will naturally fall into place. I cannot tell where the main points are just the smaller points.
Dealing with those has been easy. I cannot deal with the main point because I cannot tell where it is located.
This should also lower the number of people trying to invade your Realms as well. Even by 1%, that alone allows the Heavenly Realm not to be affected." Tiamat finished with a smile.
The duo were not pleased but a 1% of lowering would indeed safe at least the lowest Realms.
Then the maids of the Oracle all prayed to allow him to be healed. This upset the duo. Already, Rex has tried but they denied him. Now his maids want to help him heal?
"Has he done enough good without us caring to actually warrant him being stripped of the punishment?" Mira asked.
"Why bother with the small stuff? We punished him and made sure that his life would extend past that. That does not mean we should not have kept up with him. I have watched him off and on as the time as passed.
Even before we turned back time to help Rex. He had barely gotten to the point of barely back on good Karma through the eyes of those higher than us.
Now, even though it is slightly higher. It is not enough to save him from being healed. Unless those old folks wish to make it happen due to the War coming up." Mera finished.
At a round table gambling was happening
"So did your little boy manage to break through to shatter that old bastard?" One of the men asked.
"He is currently on his way." Another man smiled liked he was winning a gamble.
"Cheater!" Another couple argued.
"Now, now. We all agreed to certain rules did we not." An older looking man came up.
"Grand Elder" all the others bowed.
"Good."
The others raised up.
"Remember, each of you has a Realm or world to protect and your chosen has gotten or should have gotten special privileges." The Grand Elder spoke.
Everyone accepted.
"As for the man known as the Oracle. His punishment will be removed. The future of that Realm needs to be saved.
Without him, the Realms will suffer greatly. With him, the Realms have a chance to not suffer. Make sure that he is released. If those women do not like it, I will remove them."
The others all bowed and relayed the message.
Meanwhile
"Alright time for," a messager of the people came down.
"The Oracle will be released from his punishment. If you do not comply, you will be released from your position. For more information, please read this." The messager passed a scroll.
In the next moment, the messager vanished.
The duo read the scroll. Seeing how much damage with his punishment would be. The duo were upset. That would lift the punishment until the end of the War.
"Let the Oracle go and pray to us himself." The duo spoke.
During the night, the Oracle rushed to the temple. He had gotten a feeling that he needed to pray to the Goddesses.
"Almighty duo, I wish to be enlightened why I felt that I needed to pray to you."
In that moment he found himself in a lair of a dragon
"OH. He is cuter here than on paper." Tiamat spoke.
The Oracle was afraid because he thought he had gotten the wrong place and was teleported to hell.
"Raise up Oracle." Mera spoke.
The Oracle stood up and saw the duo goddesses on either side of Tiamat.
"We are temporarily releasing the punishment on your Soul. If we find out you have done wrong before the end of the upcoming War. We will enslave your Soul for eternity." Mira spoke.
The Oracle was so happy that he had either been able to claim enough good Karma to get the punishment at least lifted or something required him to be able to see.
"What requires my vision?" He asked with questioning tone.
"There is a War coming. A person higher than us told the two of us to release the punishment. We are just lifting it until the end of the War. If we are not pleased, the punishment will be reactivated and worst than you can imagine.
However, if you please us and the damage to the Realms is lessened. We will completely remove the punishment. So remember we can do either, this is to ensure we can still penalize you and we can completely make it worst than before."
The Oracle took the words deep into his heart. He wanted nothing more than to have the punishment removed. Seeing that it took someone higher than them to get it slightly unlocked. He wanted to thank that person.
In that moment, he felt a shadow touch his shadow and he screamed his heart out. Even in the temple, the others tried to calm him down and could not.
