In the Heaven realm, this time, the strong vibrations from the Demon realm had threatened all the deities. All of them rushed toward the Demon realm and observed it from a distance.
"My Sovereign, it seems like their princess has returned. Only she has the power to shake this shield and even break it," Soren said to the King of Heaven, King Grianor.
Grianor’s calm eyes observed it for a while as he finally mumbled, "She has truly returned."
The other deities were scared to see this as well and could not help but be worried.
"My Sovereign, if Princess Esmeray has truly returned and if she forms an attack on the Heaven realm, we are afraid we won’t be able to defeat her if she has already regained her powers," one of the deities said with concern.
Another deity added, "My Sovereign, only the God of War could stand against her, and we don’t have him. And, My Sovereign, you have yet to recover from the last incident with the Deity of Fire."
"Without your powers, and without the God of War, how are we going to stop her?"
Grianor remained calm. "We will stand against her if she tries to attack the Heaven realm. I will personally lead the army."
All the deities felt relieved, but they were worried as well. Grianor was the strongest deity with the power of light and could protect the Heaven realm—but his powers still had not recovered after the harm deity of Fire had casued him.
What was going to happen?

On the other hand,
Isis had come out of the dungeons after being frustrated with the three women she still couldn’t get rid of. Two were impossible to harm, while if Sierra was harmed, the entire Heaven realm would be aware of her demise, as she was once a deity.
"My Sovereign, once more all the deities have gone to check on the Demon realm, and this time it seems really serious. They are saying the Princess of the Demon realm has truly returned. The King has himself said it."
"Then we have to take advantage of this situation," Isis said. "I am going to see the King. With his and the other deities’ attention diverted to the Demon realm, I can carry things the way I want. Also, I have to get rid of them before Esmeray comes to rescue her friend—if she has truly returned and if she still posses the formidable powers."
"I understand, My Sovereign," the angel replied.
"Prepare those three to be present in front of the deities," Isis ordered and disappeared from her place. She had to inform the King personally beforehand.

The supernaturals from Earth had finally arrived in the Heaven realm.
Even though they crossed the strong protection around the Heaven realm, no one truly noticed the vibrations caused by their entry. The strong disturbances coming from the Demon realm absorbed the waves of someone trespassing into the Heaven realm.
They all appeared at the base of the mountain—Mountain Aramis—as per the instructions from Valeron and Xyron. This was the safest place to land, as there were barely any angels or heavenly guards patrolling the area.
But it was snowy and too cold to handle. The Three Dragons and a divine eagle were fine, and Evanthe could withstand it to a good extent because she originated from the Heaven realm, but Oriana felt the cold piercing her bones despite wearing warm clothes.
Arlan held her closer, his arms around her. "Is it too cold?"
With her teeth chattering, she replied, "Maybe I lost too much of my powers to teleport you all here, so my body feels too weak to handle this cold." She then turned to Snowflake. She looked fine on the surface, but Oriana could feel it was exhausting for her as well.
"Snowflake," Oriana called for her.
The wolf immediately snuggled next to her, letting her know she was fine.
"Arlan, we should find some safe place, and you should stay with Oriana there. In her condition, we need to let her rest," Drayce suggested as he stood by her side to offer her some warmth from him.
They looked around for anything they could use as shelter—maybe a cave or, by chance, any safe place.
