Hank and Sean touched down in Palau a couple of hours ago and were now looking to charter a boat to the center of the South Pacific, but every boat told them of the dangers of that particular area.

It was considered a graveyard for ships. Hank was getting the exact results he expected, he needed Sean to let go of any and all delusions pertaining to his incompetent grandfather.

"We'll pay you good money, $1000 US!" Sean yelled which didn't tempt the sailor one bit; though a man standing a few meters away heard his offer and was much more desperate than the sailor.

"Only a fool trades his life for money," The sailor responded as he walked off coolly, like a man with a billion dollars to his name.

Alice, Zeel, and Elizabeth watched this from a distance away, looking for the correct moment to approach the father and son duo.

They did not require Hank and Sean to enter the sub-dimension, but it was better to travel in groups as it was much safer.

The trio may be stronger than even peak humans, but this did not diminish their cautiousness.

Zeel was aware of the importance of humans in almost all known Universes. And if Zeel knew, Alice and Elizabeth also knew.

"Why don't we offer them a ride in our helicopter?" Elizabeth suggested feeling impatient at just being an observer.

"Too recognizable, we need to be mysterious and not overly so. You'll be answering the questions, Alice and I have a hard time with talking since our divinities make us gods and we can't technically lie to humans until we have it under control," Zeel said regretfully thinking about the disadvantages of being a god.

The moment Zeel became a god, he was immediately aware of several restrictions placed on his soul.

At first, he got angry that Alice didn't mention the restrictions, but after a while, he came to realize that she truly did not feel them since the restrictions were imposed based on risk assessment.

This meant that 'The Laws of the World' knew that Zeel had a tendency to perform questionable actions, hence the restrictions on his person were much more severe than those on Alice – important to note that they still received the same restrictions, only the cost of breaking the restrictions varied from person to person.

"Another restriction I take it?" Elizabeth asked a bit smugly since she hadn't been subjected to the so-called 'Laws of the World' as yet.

"How many laws are there?" she asked a bit curious.

"We aren't too sure, It's kind of like a feeling that tells us when we are on borderline. That's why we refuse to hear prayers and block them out because if we hear them we are willed by the world to complete those of the sincerest.

I had to burn two guys who were involved in hit and runs over the past year because the prayers of the victims were so strong.

Now they pray to me as the goddess of retribution and punishment – Alicia of Righteousness," Alice said grumbling quite a bit since after each incident Zeel had to have her on a stricter training schedule.

It was during those times that she envied Zeel since he didn't have to fulfill the prayers, though he was also tempted - his will was much stronger than her own.

While reminiscing of the countless problems afforded by their divinities over the past year, the duo realized Elizabeth was long gone from beside them, instead of walking towards their target of observation – Sean.

"Excuse me, excuse me. Today is your lucky day. Hey, I'm Gabato Laguatan, the best captain in Palau. I understand you in need of transportation," The weird looking captain Gabato said like a businessman in the desert starving for people to swindle.

"Awesome! My colleagues and I were also visiting a treacherous part of the ocean and needed transportation," Elizabeth interrupted like a boss during the conversations between her employees.

"$2,000 US," she said without blinking an eye.

"How subtle," Alice whispered to Zeel, as they came up behind Elizabeth.

"$2,500," Sean said without blinking an eye causing Hank to slightly grimace since it was his money that would be spent.

"$3,000," Elizabeth called out also causing Zeel to flinch since he donated all their money to charity at Elizabeth's insistence every world they visit.

While getting more money wasn't hard, he couldn't exactly steal now that he had all these godly restrictions on him – even borrowing e-money was forbidden.

Right now, he and Alice were like children who can only cry when their teachers tell them to sit in a corner, not yet having the life experience or will strong enough to disobey in fear of even worst consequences.

"How about we each pay $2500, and share the ride?" Alice asked, aware that either she or Zeel would have to become prostitutes to make some immediate money since anything considered stealing is restricted to them right now.

Though they were in the Ascending Stage, Zeel and Alice could passively use their divinity as if they were in the divine actualization stage.

This just goes to show how powerful of gods they had the potential to become if given the opportunity to grow.

"That's great. Deal!" Gabato quickly said as he led the group of five: Alice, Zeel, Elizabeth, Hank, and Sean towards his 'method of transportation'.

"...good. You won't be disappointed. I've taken hundreds of people out to sea. I come back with them almost every time,"

Suddenly, everyone stood still as Gabato led them towards a helicopter that could only be compared to dogs who have struggled with mange for many years.

Only it was the first time all of them had seen a helicopter that could suffer from mange, and possibly rabies as well.

"What in the blue heck is that?" Sean asked a bit frightened at the prospect of riding that death trap.

"That's the finest helicopter in Palau," Gabato answered in a 'isn't that obvious' manner.

"Hate to see the worst," Sean said in a sly manner which earned the nod of Zeel who was considering getting their own helicopter at this point.

That was until Gabato introduced his daughter who swindled more money from their pockets, at this point Zeel was willing to let them die when the helicopter crashed since he could probably take back his money from the dead.

"Hey, my name is Kailani," the girl said as she introduced herself.

Alice was eyeing her appraisingly and nodded in approval while Elizabeth also looked a bit intrigued by her appearance.

"You can almost measure up with us," Elizabeth said and then continued "You should be proud,"

"Okay?" Kailani answered in a confused manner as everyone else introduced themselves, paying via card, and then preparing for take-off.

"Hold up! Lemme take a look at the specs first," Zeel said as he hopped out of the helicopter intending to fix the engine enough for them to at least get to their intended destination.

"Wait! You can't touch this engine; I am the only one who -" midway through the sentence, Kailani stopped after seeing the skill with which Zeel was improving the circuitry and cleaning the turbines.

"So you're a guy good with his hands," Kailani asked a bit interested in where Zeel had learned his skills from.

Zeel finished the repairs and then looked deeply at Kailani before walking to her.

He reached out and held her chin "I know someone with your exact same face. I use to f*ck her all the time. She was one of my favorite Princesses,"

Zeel then brushed his fingers along Kailani's lips and blew into her mouth with his breath.

Kailani's knees buckled as her nose began to slowly bleed from intense pleasure – pleasure she knew would kill her if it should be allowed to continue.

Suddenly,

*pap*

A loud slap was heard as Elizabeth appeared in front of Kailani, her handprint leaving a mark on Zeel's face.

Zeel's eyes that had been disguised became slits as he stared at Elizabeth, but soon it returned to just ruby-red.

Zeel realized that his Draconic Energy was becoming more of a problem, since the moment he saw Kailani who reminded him of a girl he once knew, he felt the need to dominate her all over again.

"I feel disrespected and annoyed," Elizabeth said barely suppressing her anger.

Alice simply raised a brow at her statement.

Alice could feel that Elizabeth did not feel disrespected because she was jealous. Elizabeth felt disrespect on Alice's behalf.

"I know we are not your soulmates, but if you cannot appreciate what you have, we will leave. Women also have their pride, and such disrespect will not stand," Elizabeth reminded in a stern voice as she once again walked over, and took her seat beside Alice.

Zeel nursed his cheek for a while, but his mind was entirely elsewhere. Zeel was curious about how Elizabeth could move faster than he was able to detect for a moment.

As for Elizabeth's outburst, Zeel knew her thoughts inside out, so he could tell her empty threats all the time.

Kailani was frozen from the earlier experience of unimaginable pleasure.

Alice reminded her "No pleasure is worth your life,"

Elizabeth's mood had turned a complete 180 as she smiled once more in a teasing manner.

"He is awesome; some may even say god-like," Elizabeth commented as she made space for Zeel between herself and Alice.

Alice and Elizabeth proceeded to wrap their arms around Zeel, each taking a shoulder, leaving Kailani and Sean on the opposite side sitting down, and Hank in the co-pilot seat.

Nobody mentioned the incident after that.
