Grace was declaring her love for her wife, which caused Tobie’s face to go red. Her ears danced, and her tail swayed. You could tell she was happy to hear her wife loved her so much. But Jay’s brow furrowed. He did not understand why the woman who was at the top of the human race was so willing to protect a dirty demi human and was even siding with them now. His eyes went from Grace to Tobie, who was standing there defensively. He reached to his side and went to take out the object he had hidden in his pocket when he suddenly felt his body go stiff once again.

“Now, now… we don’t need you causing any more issues. From this moment on, according to what Grace tells me, you and all the people involved with you are to be restricted from coming to Destiny City.” Blake’s words made many people in the crowd’s faces pale. They had hoped to get away with the schemes they had implemented but now…. They could only hang their heads and wondered why they let Jay talk them into everything. They would not have opposed Grace during all the meetings if they knew this was going to happen.

After saying this, Blake turned to Grace. “You have the floor again. I think I proved enough to make your words finally set in. For those who worked against you, just single them out and make them stand to the side. I will keep anyone who is not willing to comply in check.”

“Thank you.” Grace closed her eyes and was glad she did not become Blake’s enemy. Thanks to him, she could save many of her people’s lives. This was an important step in helping Humanity rise up once more. Not as a dominant race but as a race in general. One that will not go extinct because they could not change their ways.

“As you have seen, my words were not lies. I ask again for you all to make a choice. Please stand to my left if you wish to follow me to safety. If you wish to stay, then stand to the right. Also, those who I call out, please move to the right. I have already singled out each of you in the crowd. Do not make me use force.” Grace went on and began naming names. There were not many, but twenty people were all now standing to the right with their heads lowered and fists clenched. They were all of Jay’s people. People who had stabbed her in the back many times to gain favor with Jay.

“How goes it?” Another figure dropped down from the sky. Her tanned skin and golden jewelry stood out amongst the crowd. Ishtar wanted to see how things were going. While she did not need to come in person, she still wanted to be with Blake, so she decided to take a quick trip. She was, of course, wearing proper clothing to cover her privates since she could only show such places to her husband.

“We are just finishing up.” Blake pulled Ishtar into his arms and kissed her lips. She smiled and hugged his waist.

“That’s good to hear. I put up another barrier around the city.” Ishtar suddenly became serious. “I have felt the presence of two gods.”

“What!?” Blake cried out. “What do you mean two gods? Are you saying two gods besides you and Nanaya are now on this world?”

“Yes…. I think Ea sent them. They are probably here to try to get revenge. One of them seems to be Loki… But as soon as I detected them, they hid themselves. But I think the second god is Gungnir. If it is him, then he will be tricky to deal with.” Ishtar replied. Her expression was not too good. While she could fight them both, it would not be an easy battle. Loki was nothing, but Gungnir was the god of weapons. He could call upon and use any weapons to their full potential. He had many weapons created by the gods that could take out an entire planet if he tried to use them. She was afraid he might even take the planet hostage if she was not careful.

“Were they able to lock on to you?” Blake asked. He had to make sure Destiny City was not on their radar yet. Dealing with the reglios was already hard enough.

“Luckily, it seems they landed on a whole different continent. And no, they did not lock on to me. They hid themselves without even trying to track me. This was why I stuck up another barrier around the city and had Nanaya hide her presence. I also put a masking seal on Destiny, just in case. She can still use her power, but she will not be noticed by any other gods.” Ishtar had taken every precaution she could think of.

“Thanks.” Blake let out a relieved sigh. He knew he could rely on Ishtar. She seemed to love kids. So he was not worried that her measures were not enough.

“But to think that he would send people here. Normally he would not settle for asking others to do his bidding when he holds a grudge. My guess is that something happened, and he was forced to stay in place. So he sent out his lackeys. Loki, who is currently weak right now is probably here to try to get her power back. She is still very strong, though. Nanaya is currently able to fight on par with her, but it will still be a tough battle. “So if things got tricky and I can not get rid of her first due to Gungnir holding me up, then she can keep her busy while I take care of Gungnir. He has weapons of all kinds. This includes defensive shields that can take an all out attack from me. So it will be slightly tricky to deal with him, especially when I have to hold back. But since they do not know our location yet, it should be safe for the time being.”
