Chapter 14: 『Chrismas Party & Unknown Meeting』
Christmas Day arrived, and many of Tetrus' friends came. Not only them, but all their classmates were also invited.
It was a Christmas party with a beautiful view of the beach. They could enjoy the beach, party, or do other fun activities there.
Having a rich friend was indeed a blessing, or so most people thought.
The living room started to empty out, but there were still some people left. Most of the students were playing on the beach.
In the room, there were Tenma, Tetrus, and other classmates. Tenma pulled Tetrus into a different room and said:
"Tetrus… I promise, I'll go back to being who I was. Like you said six months ago, I've thought a lot about what you told me.
I promise, but could you… would you be..." Tenma's words were interrupted by Shiraha, who suddenly burst the door open.
"What are you two doing here, huh?" Shiraha asked with a menacing expression.
Tenma pouted, annoyed by the interruption, while Tetrus had already slipped away as the two started bickering.
In another room, Tetrus said.
"Uh… Gabriel remembers that moment, huh… It seems I need to act carefully," Tetrus muttered to himself.
After saying that, Tetrus sat on a chair and leaned back. A few seconds later, someone opened the door to the room.
"Nii-san? Why do you look so tired?" Veina asked her older brother.
Tetrus looked at his little sister and replied:
"You're too young to understand the situation your Nii-san is facing, Imouto…" Tetrus said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Veina was displeased and responded:
"Hmph! Fine, if Nii-san doesn't want to tell me, I'll go tell Okaa-san about Nii-san's condition!" Veina exclaimed before running off.
Tetrus' face turned pale upon hearing his sister's words.
"Oh no… What kind of situation is this? How did it come to this!" Tetrus muttered to himself.
Then, Tetrus left the room and joined his other friends to forget about the incident with the party.

Meanwhile, Eranius and Nero were in a meeting room with three other Super Elite Families of the world, discussing something important.
"Eranius-chan… You can do it, right, to prove your worth~," Desria Zax Asterio said with a sweet smile.

However, that smile had another meaning, one that no creature wanted to uncover.
Feeling belittled, Eranius was slightly annoyed but couldn't retaliate, knowing the vast difference in power between him and the three families there.
"Alright, I can do it…" Eranius replied to Asterio.
Then Prismasm, who had shown no interest in the discussion until now, glanced at Asterio and said.
"Ria… There's a Wahrer Gott there. He might struggle to deal with it," Unia Prismasm Zastern said.

Prismasm is an Absolute Ruler who was not a human from the beginning, Prismasm was originally a Crystal that manifested a human form and became a Mastered Human at the beginning of its first evolution process.
Because of her origins, even though she now had a human form, her crystalline traits were still evident. As an Absolute Ruler, her natural beauty and translucent white skin stood out, though she was no longer a Crystallism being.
Her true origins were only known to a handful of beings, such as Asterio, Shwazer, and a few others like the Perfection True Archangel.
Yes… Only three beings know about Prismasm's origins, as she keeps them hidden for unknown reasons.
Prismasm then looked at Eranius and said.
"Are you sure you can do this? Don't push yourself. With your current power, there's a high chance you'll lose. If you lose, your existence will vanish!" Prismasm said sharply.
Eranius, trembling under Prismasm's intense gaze, felt like he was on the brink of death.
But he steadied himself and replied.
"Don't worry. This is also to prove that I am worthy."
Afterward, the three beings, especially Ciel, who had been silently observing, smiled wickedly.
The three then disappeared, leaving Eranius alone. Eranius exhaled heavily, and Nero, who had been silent, patted his shou.lder and said
"Don't worry, Darling… Whatever happens, I'll help you," Nero said to comfort Eranius.
Eranius calmed down and said.
"Mm… Thank you, Nero… I must do this. If I succeed, our family will gain an absolutely secure position."
Eranius knew that in this Universe, the Multiverse, Omniverse, and beyond, like the Outerverse, were ruled by the Absolute Rulers—They are absolute existences that cannot be interfered with, they are existences that completely rule and create everything.
When Eranius realized, although he was strong. But every second and minute his family could be in danger because of the possibility of being involved in the game played by the Absolute Ruler.
Therefore, Eranius made a risky choice, if successful, the safety of his family would be guaranteed by 2 Absolute Rulers and 1 Trinity Being.
After calming himself, Eranius and Nero teleported back home.
◇ ◆ ◇
In a faraway place, in the Outerverse…
There were five Absolute Rulers, also known as Complete Absolute Rulers, observing Eranius' actions.
"Is that the being seeking our protection…?" Fridarm Deacron asked the other Absolute Rulers.
"Hmm… Useless. Why should we even listen to this?" Shwazer Vanheim said.
Hearing the objections, Asterio replied.
"Mah... Mah... Shwazer, Fridarm... Think of it as entertainment, after all the protection he wants is only 100 descendants, and that's only 90,000,000 years." Asterio said to the two Absolute Rulers.
"Haa… Whatever. You handle it. It's not my concern," Fridarm replied.
"Fine, fine…" Asterio responded before turning to Shwazer.
"Alright, alright, I won't interfere…" Shwazer said.
Yvalterism Acterism, who had been silent, decided that the discussion was over and left, showing no interest in the matter.
After everyone had left, except Shwazer and Prismasm, Prismasm stopped Shwazer before he could leave.
"Shwazer! Can we talk for a moment?" Prismasm asked Shwazer.
Shwazer looked at Prismasm and seemed to understand what she wanted to discuss.
