Kaori was walking now on Academy city, Alice said nothing about how they got out but something about it felt wrong. Magnus was still in Makai his improvement was slow and painful even in a place where magic grows quickly inside people. She could see everyone around her but felt nothing from them, empty and lacking any magic on their own or so she thought, the gods knew there was a connection to ESP and magic though that secret would be held until the end of times.

She felt how the world around her changed, everything looked the same though now it was empty, there were strong mana currents everywhere almost like in Makai. Yuuka was staring at her from afar, she turned transparent and left calmly. Kaori looked around and took a deep breath, there was a dim floral scent, she turned around and slashed at the air, the new magic ore sword turned even motion into a wind spell, the slash caused Yuuka to turn visible again, she was behind Kaori.

Yuuka smiled and bowed "Welcome dear I thought you were coming with Alice" Kaori kept her sword unsheathed

"I asked her to stay, she is a demon witch and I don't want her doing anything funny here"

"If that is the case you should not fight me since I am one of the five pieces of God"

"A piece of god I don't follow! Amaterasu may be your ally but she isn't here fighting for you"

"Well said, then Miss Saint I won't go easy this time" from her hand a giant blast came out, the floor it touched turned to smoke and glass nearby started to melt, Kaori slashed at the ground and jumped high up, she saw how easily Yuuka had destroyed half the city, that was only a warning shot.

She shivered when Yuuka aimed at her and shot once more, Kaori closed her eyes and prayed. She must have been heard because an angel showed up in front of her, one in human shape and shot back at Yuuka, another Master Spark. Yuuka covered herself with the umbrella which was enough for them to run.

"Thank you angel of god"

"Artificial angel…"

"Wait you are the girl that Aleister created?"

"Exactly. Kazami tried to make me one of her own. Didn't know she could move to the imaginary number district"

"This feels like a paradise…" Yuuka broke through one of the buildings.

"Which means I can sense everything inside here" Hyouka pushed Yuuka back though she started to fly up and punched the angel to the ground, the strength of it caused the ground to break and shatter, the other half of the city was done for. Two angels fighting and they were holding back.

"If I didn't hold back this planet would be vaporized within seconds" Yuuka smirked talking to Kaori, she felt a chill on her back, Yuuka could even hear thoughts inside this place. Kazakiri was going all out on Yuuka, though the other had not much of a problem, she yawned and stopped Kazakiri with a finger.

She turned to smoke, the whole place started to shake, vines coming out of the ground slowly breaking the concrete. Down in the ground the vines showed how they were all connected to a single root. The more ground that was broken the bigger the root looked like, so thick it seemed as a single wooden floor.

Kaori turned around to see that the whole imaginary city was falling down, a whole different plane wiped out slowly, Kazakiri hoisted her up and the more they went up the more they could see how the whole planet was covered in those thick roots. The roots all connected to one big thick root that faded away into space, the connection to it very close to them.

Kaori gripped her sword and looked down at the world, the whole planet being destroyed just by the movements of those roots. The tree of life showing a glimpse of what really it could do, Yuuka was just a dream of the tree, a figment of its own imagination escaping from the dream world. So powerful its own dreams could bend reality, the tree itself holding the universes together, how easily she could end the world.

The worst of it wasn't the fact that Yuuka had been toying this whole time. The tree of life was the reason humans were alive at all. When Adam was expelled from paradise god was about to forsake him and his kin. It was the tree of life who advocated for him, and god gave the tree of life permission to teach humans of his ways, to feed them with its own seeds.

If this was the creature that protected them, that loved them who would be the ones who hate them. How awful were the gods how little god cared. She was about to curse the world and all its inhabitants, ally with Hyouka and both led humans to rebellion. Another being showed up, she was as short as Yuuka though her own hair was a shade darker of green and her eyes were equally green.

A blue dress and a cane on its hands. "There are gods who care, none of them care of your city though" she sighed looking at the mess, and with a hand movement the world turned back to its original state. "That trick is old Yuuka, last time you did it we had a hard time dealing with the demigod you broke"

Yuuka appeared again in front of them, the whole world in front of their eyes faded away again where they started, the full Academy City, the students hiding from them both afraid of the cross fire Yuuka would bring "Gilgamesh brought many things to humans, they evolved after that"

Perhaps that was the motor behind Yuuka's horrible actions, evolution. Stress caused evolution this was a theory that had been proven years ago, the one that debunked Darwin's stochastic theory.

The girl bowed before the girls and hit Yuuka "No creating universes just to destroy them"

Kaori gulped down saliva and stared at Yama, she nodded "Yes my dear, those worlds are complete universes as big as this one, just no humans inside them"

Yuuka stared at the surroundings and yawned "So anyway will we fight here and now?"

Yama stared at them both and stepped aside "As it was written in the Shiva Purana chapter 594 line 45. Kazami Yuuka daughter of Shiva the one and only member of the wood people race is challenged by Kanzaki Kaori the 100th descendant of Kartikeya member of the Anglican Church. Kazami accepts the challenge, and so it shall continue since no rule had been broken… Already" she glared at Yuuka. "You are allowed to bring along Kazakiri Hyouka personification of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. The outcome of this battle will determine if Kazami is allowed to stay in Academy City land of Aleister"

Kaori stared at Hyouka she was just as scared "Wait what?! Fruit of knowledge?!"

Yama smiled "Ironic isn't it? Her own creation wants to murder the tree of life"

Yuuka was stretching her wings starting to unfold "Well if the fruit is finally against me can I get my skin back?"

Yama shook her head "Not only you gave humans the fruit… You let them weaponize it! Tsukuyomi just activated the tampering the fruit did in their DNA!"

Kaori felt it like cold water inside of her mind, why ESPers could not use magic. The fruit of good and evil made Adam unworthy of god, and thus magic, it was a curse, a curse Aleister was trying to break.

"You will not win against her Kazakiri… She knows what to expect of you and what to make of you, the longer you stay around the more she will tamper with your own mind. Make you as she wishes"

Yama nodded "Furthermore I advise you fighting Yuuka yourself, you have Rudra blood and thus you both carry a piece of Shiva. You both fighting would eventually destroy the universe before any of you both yield… In case she just plays around with you because believe me she can kill you without much effort which is what I expect to happen from what I am seeing… However there is a way she can leave, admit defeat in the fight, but you take the title of patron goddess from Hyouka. She is the real reason she is here, a child"
