Time: Unspecified

Location: Myriad Realms, Card World, Southern Way Beyond, SSS-rank Titan Forest Field Dungeon.

Ollie, Kiren, Cam, and Christina were terrified to see the world turn red and hear another voice within the super time. However, to their horror, they were all suddenly forced out of the super-time and into the regular time.

Ollie hurriedly retreated next to his friends with the two clueless Western royal guards. Feeling as if they appeared to have skipped ahead a second or two in time, one of the royal guards couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on?"

"I have no idea, just regroup," Ollie replied, as they returned to the group’s side.

"Everyone, conserve your soul energy and rule power. We are in a rule domain of sorts that appears to be capable of cutting us off from the external soul energy and rule power. I believe that is why our Super-time cards were forcefully deactivated," Princess Christina hurriedly shared with the group, having surveyed their surroundings already.

Christina having heard the loud chant, and the surveyed the rule domain had already guessed what kind of rule domain they were in, but she didn’t think it was possible because the rule domain that came to her mind was only ever heard of in the legends and myths — the Celestial Rule Domain.

"I really underestimated you guys," I admitted, gathering the attention of the misfits on me, as Lois and the restructured Redfall stood behind me in obedience. I finally discovered that there wasn’t one of them who was Card Celestial’s favored one but that all four of them were.

"Nah, it seems we have underestimated you, little buddy." Ollie straight up asked, "Are you a Card Demigod or a Card Master?"

"Realms, Ranks, and Power Levels are just a concept," I began, posing a question. "Did you know that in the Dark Realm, some races have younglings that possess demigod-rank prowess from birth?"

Knowing the misfits were strong, and having decided to recruit them, I tried to gauge if they knew about the Dark Realm itself, or if they were only familiar with the common stories about Devils and Demons circulating in the five regions and the empire.

The Super-time skill card they used was a peculiar one. It wasn’t a time-related skill but a speed-related one. It made the misfits so fast that they existed on an entirely different timeline, one way faster than the original one. It was like they were living at the speed of microseconds when we could only speed up to milliseconds at our best.

I didn’t even realize what was happening when they first activated the card. It was the Hive Spirit that saved Redfall today; otherwise, I would have lost a demigod realm calamity daughter gem, and I wouldn’t have even known what happened.

As soon as Ollie’s attack connected with Redfall, he triggered the Hive Spirit’s safety protocols. Still, even with its super-fast processing speed, it took a moment for Hive Spirit to warn us and help me deploy the Celestial Blood Fate Domain in time.

"Are you saying you’re a demon?" Ollie asked, feigning ignorance. Kiren immediately stepped forward to say, "Don’t listen to him. You know what, just ignore him. But I thought this fight was just between us and Redfall."

Kiren was not interested in small talk. She brought the conversation back to the matter at hand. As the more she saw this so-called Southern Hope in action, her doubt that there was more than what met the eye about him strengthened.

"Yes, it was, and I only took action because you won. I can hand him over to you right away," I replied and then threatened, "But if you plan to live to see another day, I suggest you exchange your lives for his."

"Is that a threat?" Princess Christina asked, standing beside her bestie.

"Hahaha!" I laughed, seeing the misfits hadn’t understood their current circumstances. Then, breaking off my laughter abruptly, I menacingly ordered, "Kneel!"

"Huh?" Princess Christina uttered in confusion, a little stumped by the boy’s arrogance. But soon she found her body was kneeling down without her commanding it to. She tried hard to stop but found that she couldn’t just fight it. It was as if she was strapped in her car’s driving seat and forced to watch as a mysterious force drove it into the ditch. She looked around to find that her friends were also kneeling down before the boy against their wills.

"What is happening?"

"I can’t control my body."

"It is moving on its own as if it has a will of its own."

"How is this even possible?"

"It’s because of the rule domain, I believe it’s no ordinary rule domain but the celestial rule domain from the legends and the myths."

"Celestial Rule Domain?"

"I heard of it. Wasn’t it supposed to be just a myth?"

"Yes, but everything points to it."

"Are you sure, Your Highness? You are not just making stuff, are you?"

"Ollie, shut up if you don’t have anything helpful to add."

"Your wish is my command, my love."

"Ollie, know the right time and place to joke around."

"Right time and place? Buddy, there is no right time and place that isn’t right to pick up a beautiful woman. I will flirt with Kiren even if it’s the last thing I do. Though I prefer making love to her to be the last thing I do."

"Motherfucker, I will kill you even if it’s the last thing I do."

"Cannibal Cam has entered the dungeon!"

"Princess, stop! I risked my life to rile him up. Let him go berserk. Maybe he can break free of whatever is restraining our wills."

"Oh, that’s a smart idea. Sorry, Cam, this is going to hurt: Kiren has left the dungeon!"

"Aarrgh!"

"Come on, huddy, you can do it! You can do it!"

"Let me give you a hand, buddy. Just imagine you return home after a rough night shift to find me and Kiren rolling under the sheets in your marital bed, naked. Yes, Kiren was having an affair with me behind your back all along."

"Why? Why?"

"She said it was because your sword is smaller than mine."

"Sword?"

"You know the stick between your legs."

"Stick?"

"Penis, motherfucker. Penis!"

"She said your penis is small and couldn’t satisfy her, so she came to me."

"So, bad friend helping Kiren?

"No, motherfucker, bad friend fucking Kiren!"

"Roarrrr!"

"That’s it bubby, imagine it, come kick my head off, I’m right here!"
