Kapis Dimension. A week had passed. Within that week, Sky and Ben had returned to Secret Base along with Junior and Bob. Maria had successfully get in contact with Hoshe through Grandpa White and convinced him to help out the team while Chris is away, with the condition that he doesn't need to face Ben directly. As Hoshe joined them, Sky decided that he shall 'pay a visit' to those 'filthy land' of the angel as mentioned by Dominic, Sky feels that it is necessary to investigate that place a bit despite the fact they had found Junior's mother who is now dead. Sky, Jason, Junior, and Hoshe went to that destination while the others stayed at the secret base, Bob who is actually an earth deity is acted as the guardian of the secret base in order to atone for the bad things he did.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sky, Jason, Junior, and Hoshe are riding on the blue dragon viewing the land below them from above the sky while hiding in a fake cloud. Indeed, as mentioned by Dominic, instead of an angel land, that whole place is more like a living hell. Except for a palace that the angels are located at, the whole area is a damp and hot wasteland filled with contaminated air. People who live in there look very skinny and sick, the food source is very limited due to the air contamination and yet the people in there need to give in their precious food supplies to the angels as a sign of royalty, or rather to prevent the 'Heavenly Punishment'. The family who failed to fulfill the giving will be toss directly into the deadly volcano, and those who want to give but have nothing to give are forced to be a labor slave that work until they died of exhaustion.
"Seriously, is there something that holding them back from escaping this place?" Hoshe asked.
"Probably two reasons, either foolish faith or coercion." said Sky.
"Coercion?" Hoshe is a bit confused, same as Junior.
"Well... I believe it's more like they can't. Look at their ankle carefully, did you notice some numbers on it?" said Jason while pointing at a lady who is on the verge of starving to death.
"Ah... Yes! I saw it! Are they experimental subjects?" Hoshe asked.
"I don't think so... It's more like they are some sort of clone or something like that. Notice how some of them look exactly the same? Although some of them might slightly fatter or thinner." said Sky.
"Ah! True!" Hoshe exclaimed.
"But why is there such a big number of clones? Do they even have their own purpose?" Junior asked.
"Well... That's what I wanted to find out." said Sky, rather serious.
"But how should we do it?" Hoshe asked.
"Well... That's a good question... I doubt if anyone would want to infiltrate this nasty place." said Sky with a sarcastic sneer.

Secret base. Everyone is having their nice and peaceful life. Well, almost everyone, Bob is having a great disaster acting as a babysitter... I mean as a guard for the secret base. Well, basically, he needs to do almost everything, from cooking, cleaning to laundry, every single chore that you can imagine, and most importantly...
"Earth Deity, you are really bad at cooking. This does not even taste nice, redo it please." said Ben, yes, that Ben.
"Uhm... Dr. Ben, don't you think you are a bit too harsh to him?" Seito asked.
"Well, I was told to do so, so no complaint. But seriously, why do they have to take Jason and leave this thing here? Did you even know that I have to reimburse all the jobs he messed up with? I thought I was supposed to be a patient." said Ben, in a rather flat tone.
"Well, true. He is indeed a clumsy head, but he is still an Earth Deity and we can't deny that." said Seito.
Ben did not talk back but sighed.
"Are you two going to have a training again today?" Ben asked, doesn't feel like talking about Bob anymore.
"Yes, of course. Oh! Yuki and Ai are going to join us today as well." said Seito.
"Those two ladies? I doubt they even need that." said Ben, a bit joking.
"Well, indeed. But they seem to have a lot of fun, so we don't mind." said Seito and Itsuki nodded.
"Anyway, if you are going to have some training, you might as well bring that thing with you, I believe he could at least be a bit helpful in this matter." said Ben, referring to Bob.
Seito nodded, but rather unwillingly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Quill Town. Dominic had sent Marco and her Shadow Punisher to the other town to investigate the issues of smuggling of Kirin blood and some potential forbidden experiment that might be done. Marco had sent back a letter regarding her findings.
"Hmm... Marco said that they found a weird Kirin Demon farm with all sorts of weird mutated versions of the Kirin Demons, although the Kirin Demon is already a form of mutation... And they found a 'generator' that constantly distributed some powered red substance into the atmosphere of that space, and here's the sample." said Maria, with a rather formal tone while pointed at a packet of the sample send by Marco.
"Anyway, the Shadow Punisher had successfully stopped all activities there with the help of a guardian at there... Hmm... As expected from Marco-chan." said Maria, rather proud for some unknown reasons.
"Yes, indeed, she really did her job well. Now I think of it, it is really a waste that she is a lady." said Dominic.
"What was that supposed to mean? There are a lot of capable ladies that I had come across to." said Maria, rather disagree with Dominic's statement.
"Well true. I guess it is." said Dominic, surprisingly easy to accept that argument from Maria.

Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
