Chapter 58: Cute is Justice

  The problem with the Galaxidae wasn't something that could be solved easily, not after what she had seen from using her Identify again on the old data from Evangeline. Elizabeth had played it cool when it was Rena, and didn't mention it when Aura came.

  But that data was very troublesome; if all the Galaxidae had the endorsement from [The World], then she would need to, quite literally, fight against the World. She was sure that if it came to that both her Mother and Papa would help her, and would suffer from it. So she didn't want for it to come to that.

  There was also the fact that the World had sent her a message about how she was walking the path of Akasha, that Elizabeth was becoming an existence similar to Zaanam.

  But what did that mean? It had been her original destiny to ascend as a Goddess, she knew this.

  It had been her past life achievement to become a Dragon God, so her Soul was one that could withstand the rigors.

  She knew that.

  But now she was walking towards becoming a world?

  Was Zaanam calling her fat?

  … stupid joke aside. She needed to find out more about this.

  "Shadow Step," So in the spirit of doing that, Elizabeth returned to…Terra Nexus…. that name did need some work.

  She returned to the wasteland that surrounded Aquila, and she willed herself to appear near the highest concentration of Fire Mana within her Soulscape, the place where the sprites of fire had come from.

  The place that should be similar to the Thunder Bird settlement. The place was brimming with Wrath's Fire, and Elizabeth could almost taste the anger and rage of the fire as it wanted to consume the whole World. But at the same time, it was being kept in place by something else, a soothing fire.

  At the outer ring of the fire was a smaller flame, it was tinged with golden colors, the color of Rossie, the color of Elizabeth… The color of Love…The color of divinity.

  “*Sigh* Okay…what do I need…The stupid birds were born independently, but if I want to actively birth a new entity…?" Elizabeth said, looking around, she didn't quite want to dive into the fire of Wrath,

  "That is easy Mistress, you only need to pull at your Gem of Wrath or your Gem of Fire and will the fire of creation into a stable form." The voice of Aura suddenly sounded at her side.

  "Kyah!" Elizabeth couldn't help but (Cutely) scream while jumping away, even though she was hovering in the air.

  "...What was that?" Aura asked, raising her eyebrow.

  "Ajam…you scared me," Elizabeth said, she would not speak or mention about this ever again. The purple-haired girl had gotten a fast one on her because Elizabeth had too many things on her mind, and the fact that she was entranced by the fire that symbolized Rena hadn't helped.

  She had lowered her defenses after all.

  "So…will the fire into a creature? That sounds too…" Elizabeth didn't like how that sounded, it was as if…she was…a God.

  "Sounds like what you are. Every Magical Girl controls their Soulscape like a God or Goddess would control their World. Nothing changed, if anything, the only thing that changed is that you are a few steps ahead of the rest." Aura said with a shrug, "Your Mother did a dirty one when building the concept of a Soulscape, she built in a guide for a nascent Godling into every Magical Girl or Magical Guardian."

  Her Mother did a what?

  "Mother was aware of this?" Elizabeth asked as she pulled out her Gem of Wrath and the Gem of Fire from their corresponding Crowns. "Of course she did."

  Elizabeth could see it, her Mother laughing her ass off as the idea manifested, the fact that she had trivialized an act of the gods and given it to girls who had been hurt; it probably was quite therapeutical for them.

  "Well, here goes nothing, I guess…" Elizabeth let both gems fly into the air. They immediately started orbiting around each other, and Elizabeth could feel the call of them towards the fire that was burning down there. "Heed my call…Dwellers of fire and rage…"

  For the first time, she was not calling upon the darkness but to the fire, which was refreshing in its own way, "...Let the fires of creation burn, let the ashes left behind nurture the ground, start the cycle of life upon this plane. The fire will burn down the forests, the ashes will fertilize the ground, and from there, new life will be born."

  That one was easy; Elizabeth had heard and even watched documentaries about how some tribes burned down forests to prepare and cultivate the land. She wanted the creatures that would be born from Rena's Gems to be like that. Not a creature of destruction and rage, but a creature of life and renewal.

  "Let this be the first step for a new life. A new beginning that will begin with a single spark, born not from hate, Wrath or rage…" Elizabeth extended her hand and both gems settled on her palm, in one single motion she bit the tip of her index finger and felt her energy be drained as a single drop of blood manifested at the top of her finger.

  Was this how it felt when the Dragon Empress gave fourteen drops of blood?

  "...Let this new life be born from love." Elizabeth felt her mana start to drop rapidly as the fire turned into a vortex, all the energy and mana being pulled into a single point. Her drop of blood joined after.

  "So attempting to turn Wrath into Love huh?" Aura chimed from the side, Elizabeth felt her face blush at the prospect, "You may need to rethink that one, while noble, you may just turn your barely stable World into chaos, if you manage to turn Wrath into something else, the other Sins will need to follow suit. So think of that, Elizabeth, and don't commit unless you plan this through."

  And on that note, Aura teleported away.

  Elizabeth remained there floating while the energy condensed itself in the middle; she had half expected a new creature to form, but instead, what manifested in the middle was an egg. Similar to her Shadow Dragons' Egg, this was only different in that the color was crimson.

  "So will it be a snake…or a chicken…" Elizabeth had not put much thought into what creature would be born, she wanted it to truly be something that was based upon Rena's mana instead of something she wished.

  From her pride, the thunderbirds had been born. So what would be born from Rena's Wrath?

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  No, wait, if the Thunder Birds were her pride….then what was based upon her Shadow Dragons?

  "*Crack*" Elizabeth flew down and landed on the scorched ground, the red egg trembling a cracks grew on its eggshell as the egg moved from left to right.

  Elizabeth heard the hiss on the other side as a red paw broke through the eggshell. So it had been a dragon then?

  "Hisss….." Soon enough, a small critter managed to break open the eggshell and walk out; it was…

  "A Lizard? No…I guess that you would be closer to a salamander than a lizard, huh." Elizabeth examined the small critter, it was a red salamander with a tongue that seemed to exude fire.

  This one looked cute, adorable and lovable.

  "Mistress?" A new voice rang and soon Reginald and Mordred appeared, behind Elizabeth.

  Reginald was(As lately) clad in lightning while Mordred showed up in her shadow dress, and both seemed to regard the Salamander with caution.

  "Say hello to our new denizen," Elizabeth said pointing to the small Salamander that was now running in circles around Elizabeth.

  The adorable cute thing started climbing Elizabeth and settled on her back, only its face showing from above her shoulder while the rest of its body was stuck to her back.

  "Hiss...." The thing didn't know another word? Even so, it was cute. And as we all know, cute is justice.

  "Hmmm....interesting, I do not feel any connection, is it not kin?" Reginald asked extending his hand towards the little critter.

  "HISS!!" The Salamander at first said only, but when his hand came closer, "STAY AWAY FROM OUR GODDESS YOU MONGREL!"

  Elizabeth heard a strong voice, it sounded more like the voice of a very angry old man than the voice of a cute lizard. This was the kind of voice Elizabeth would imagine hearing from a seasoned warrior who came home after a long war.

  The voice of an old man who seemed to be angry most of the time.

  "..." "..." "Sounds about right, yes."

  Both Elizabeth and Reginald seemed impacted from the voice, but not Mordred for some reason...

  She wasn't that surprised, why wasn't she surprised? Also, shouldn't the voice of the Salamander be more…cute?

  "Hello…little…guy?" Elizabeth said placing her hand in front of the lizard's snout, the small little thing licked it a little and then walked into the hand. "What is your name?"

  "You may refer to me as Tiffany, great one." The small lizard said in the same gruff voice, "I am the first queen of the proud Fire Salamander Tribe, my eggs shall populate the area and raise a great volcano worthy of the blood and flesh of your enemies, oh Great Goddess. The Fire Empress shall feast on the blood of your enemies!"

  …Why?

  What the hell was wrong with Rena's Wrath Gem? Or was it the fire gem?

  Or was Elizabeth?

  She knew that before getting two cute, hot and sexy girlfriends she had a thing for old gruff muscle man with deep voices…and with Edgy heroes, but even so…was this her fault?

  "Tiffany was it? There are a few ground rules that we-" Reginald said attempting to sound diplomatic, alas.

  "Silence you dirty cold lizard!" Tiffany pulled no punches, "You are a disgrace to our proud race! Being a reptilian and yet stinking like feathers! Are you communing with the lower castes too?!?!? Disgraceful, *spit* “

  …was….was something wrong with this thing? How could something this cute…. have such a nasty mouth…

  Actually, weren't the thunderbirds like this, too? Was this going to repeat itself when Elizabeth attempted to continue doing the same for the other gems, too?

  The horror.

  "Mind your manners, Tiffany," Mordred said with a smirk on her face. Did she find this funny? "Lord Reginald is one of the first ones summoned by our Mistress, and he was charged with the care of one of the races within this plane. His responsibilities are great, as is his power."

  “ *Spit x2* Hah! As if I would care for the lowlife of someone who discarded his heritage, he took upon himself another species when he was a proud lizard to embrace birds? Weak!" Tiffany roared with its small snout and expelled fire towards Reginald.

  Reginald merely expelled some lightning and dispelled the fire though. He was, after all, stronger.

  "Hah! Not ballsy enough, are we? Weak! I declare you weak! No lizard would want to let you near their eggs like this! Can you even do the deed? I doubt it!" Tiffany continued speaking, and Elizabeth wanted more and more to release the small Salamander and wait for one more diplomatic.

  Why was it even that angry? Hadn't Elizabeth created this thing using [Love]? Was that in vain?

  "Say Mistress?" Reginald finally spoke, "Can you…try again? I think something went wrong on this one."

  Reginald smiled, but his eyes showed no happiness.

  "You don't scare me! You are weak! No lizard would lower itself to another race! You don't scare anyone here!" The small lizard said, Tiffany didn't sound that convinced though.

  "Perhaps we can try getting a turtle? Or a dog? I am guessing a dog would be more useful, you already have Dragons after all, why care for mere…Lizards." Reginald said as he extended his hand behind and pulled a weapon.

  Did…did he still have access to her armory? Elizabeth had left him in charge of it after all…oh….The Dragon Slaying Sword - Sigrun.

  "Reginald? Don't you think that is…a little overboard?" Elizabeth said, trying to think of a way to defuse this.

  "Worry not Mistress, I have confidence on my aim. You will not be harmed at all while I turn that thing into mush." Reginald said as the sword was suddenly clad in lightning.

  "Did I hurt your pride? Are you trying to compensate for something? You scare no one!" The small Salamander (Tiffany) said, Elizabeth could feel the thing getting worked up… But… this was just…sad.

  The thing barely had any mana, Elizabeth couldn't detect anything especial on it quite yet, not like the Lighting Birds that had her lightning and purfying abilites, or how the shadow dragon had access to all her shadow manipulation powers.

  This thing…

  "Okay, okay, that is enough… Tiffany?" Elizabeth said encasing the small Salamander in a sphere made out of fire, the thing seemed to want to escape to continue fighting, but Elizabeth made it so no sound could escape the sphere. "You are being rude, Reginald is a very important member of this place, and I asked him to deal with the thunderbirds. He didn't ask for that."

  The small Salamander seemed to grumble within the sphere and cross its paws in front of its torso.

  "Also, can you do something about the voice? You don't sound like a Tiffany at all, at best you sound like an Arnold." Elizabeth found this very troubling. She was not one to judge (She wanted to bang another girl after all), so complaining about someone's sexuality was something that she couldn't do. But it was weird!

  This little thing was cute! Why did it had the voice of a seasoned warmonger?!?!?

  If it had the appearance, she wouldn't have a problem with it, but it didn't! It didn't have the vibes or air at all!

  "I'm going to let you talk again, so please be polite." Elizabeth said to the small Salamander, and then turning to Reginald, "And you, I know it is annoying, but Tiffany was just born, give it some slack…no one seems to be normal when born here…"

  And that was a problem that Elizabeth didn't want to look into, the fact that the people born from her Soulscape weren't normal said something about Elizabeth.

  "As you wish, Mistress," Reginald said with a bow letting the dragon-slaying sword disappear, "I have no problem with Tiffany, but she insulted the work you bestowed upon me, and that can't be forgiven."

  "As for me, I just came to greet a new brother or sister. What they do, or how they do it matters not." Mordred said with a shrug, it was a good thing Tiffany didn't find a problem with Mordred…

  Perhaps that had something to do with the fact that Mordred was still wearing a modified doppelganger body? She hadn't changed it that much besides some clothes aesthetics after all.

  "I will get into designing a new body soon enough Mistress, do you have preferences?" Mordred seemed to pick up on her train of thought.

  "Cute is justice," Elizabeth said and then focused once more on the sphere of fire. She willed it and released the barrier, but did not take on her hand the small critter again.

  "...But the other voice was handsome…" And the voice that sounded this time wasn't that of warmonger men amongst men. But instead sounded like a shy girl who had lived all her life on a library. It was the type of voice you expected coming from the small, petite girl who couldn't hurt a mouse to save her life.

  In a nutshell, it was a cute voice.

  "CUTE!" So Elizabeth said, this is how a true Tiffany should sound! "I mean, so this is your real voice?"

  Play it cool Elizabeth, play it cool. First impressions are important…

  "....yes. The other voice is what the Fire Goddess deemed like the perfect voice she dreamed, so it was the one this lowly one used. As was the words and….attitude." Tiffany said as her voice continued turning smaller and smaller, SO FRICKING CUTE!

  "Hmph….So you were overcompensating for being the lesser one?" Reginald chimed from the back.

  How dare him bully this cute creature!

  "....this lowly one is alone, and we need to prepare the land to start populating our species, we do not enjoy of a closer relationship with the Goddess, so our mana is smaller. We are… weaker, but even if we are so…" Tiffany seemed to growl at that and Elizabeth could see the fires of RAGE on her small beady eyes, "...we will thrive."

  Yeah….cute was still justice.

  "The Thunder Birbs will not hunt you or your kind to extinction," Reginald declared and Elizabeth felt a pulse of mana come from her [Gem of Pride] and her [Gem of Lightning] going down from her body into the Core of her Soulscape.

  The Salamander then turned to look at Mordred as if waiting for a guarantee or something.

  "Don't look at me like that, the Shadow Armada servers our Mistress, should she deem you a danger I will not stop her." Mordred said with a shrug, "But fine, I guess…The Shadows will not bind you down so long you work towards the betterment of this plane."

  Elizabeth felt almost immediately a pulse from her [Gem of Shadows] and…a faint pulse? She didn't have enough time to try and track it down before the Shadows obscured everything and expanded down into her Core, but she was sure of it. She had felt two pulses there too.

  So her Shadow Dragons were tied to one of her sin gems too?

  But to what?

  She knew the souls of the damned that formed most of her Shadow Armada came from Aquila, but then….what sin did they carry?

  "...We will work towards to make this place a better home." Tiffany said nodding in her small shy, cute and adorable voice that makes you want to hug, protect and safeguard them above all. "...as soon as we increase our kin, we will start the cycle of life on this plane."

  The what now?

  "That may be hard to do with only Fire, at the very least you may need more elements, the Thunder Birbs will increase the rains at your call." Reginald said in a serious tone, "We can kickstart a basic circle of water like that, the Thunder carries not only thunderstorms but also water and wind. We will work with you, but only for the betterment of the plane."

  So cute! Her minions working together for a better place!

  This was what she wanted!

  Now…. Did she have other ones? Or would she need to wait? She had…still the Gem of Space, The Gem of Soul, The Gem of Divinity… THE WHAT NOW?!?!?!?

  SINCE WHEN?!?!? WHAT?!?!?!?

  No, focus Elizabeth. Focus…Think happy thoughts, you already more or less knew of it…but… sigh….She would really need to think very hard about what she did with that one… For now, she had connected two gems with two Gems of Sin. The Gem of Lightning/The Gem of Pride and The Gem of Fire/The Gem of Wrath.

  She now had The Gem of Gluttony, The Gem of Envy…and two other gems available to her that she hadn't internalized, The Gem of Greed and The Gem of Lust.

  To be honest, she didn't want to touch either of those, for multiple reasons… But she would need to think seriously about what to tie each. She had tied Wrath with Fire since Rena was hot, so that was easy…

  Now…what to tie with Lust…what was Rossie to Elizabeth? Or… would she need to make a new Gem and tie that to Rossie's Lust? Maybe….Cute? The Gem of Cute?

  ….No, that brought the image of Alexa to her mind, why was Cute glued to the concept of Alexa anyway?
