''Yo, monkey. I think I need a mask''
Danny said to Sun Wukong out of nowhere as they were heading towards the kingdom of God.
''I'm not saying you're wrong but where did that come from?''
Sun Wukong asked.
''As I am now... I can't even force myself to look in the eyes of my friends''
Danny said.
''And how would a mask help?''
Sun Wukong asked.
''With a mask, I can disguise myself as someone else, so whatever I do, I won't be ashamed of myself''
Danny said.
''This entire idea is shameful, but I will help you get a mask, because, my dear Danniel, I just can't tolerate your face''
Sun Wukong said while laughing and even Quies couldn't stop herself from laughing at Danny.
''You know what? Fuck you, you both suck''
Danny said and started going faster.
But then he stopped. The son of Satan himself saw something he had never even imagined before.
God's kingdom, a kingdom so beautiful, a mortal might die from looking at it.
In this somewhat medieval world, there was a city in the middle of the ocean that had skyscrapers that you couldn't even see their tops. Everywhere you looked there were lights and glowing signs, people were using floating vehicles that definitely did not resemble carriages to move around and everything was shiny.
''Holy shit''
Danny said and the others caught up to him.
''What happe... Ohhhh''
Quies sighed in admiration of the marvelous sight she was seeing.
''Oh, right. Neither of you has been here before. Well... welcome to God's kingdom''
Sun Wukong said.
''Okay... I didn't want to do it but I guess I have to, Wèizhuāng!''
Sun Wukong reluctantly said and a mask appeared in his hand.
''It's bad enough I, the murderer of the original gods' divinity, am here. You being here is so much worst so here take this mask''
Sun Wukong said and gave Danny the mask.
It looked like a simple mask but it was imbued with god's immortality so it was indestructible.
It was a grey mask that covered Danny's face perfectly and could make perfect movements based on the movement Danny's face does, so he couldn't hide his expression behind the mask and his glowing purple eyes were visible.

After checking in at a hotel, they split and each one went in their own direction.
Danny went in the direction of a hotel where he heard there was a cheap training area because he wanted to train with his knife so he wouldn't need to rely on his magic control.
On the way, he saw something crazy that almost made him ruin his cover.
'Chaos and Ishtar, alone!? In a coffee shop!? Well... You never know how would relationships evolve and in general, chaos and Momotaro are pretty similar so it makes sense that she would go after chaos if Momotaro isn't around'
During the entirety of the time Danny was thinking about it he was clearly staring at them.
''Are you okay there?''
Chaos asked Danny which snapped him out of the state of thinking he was in.
''Ah, what, ah! Yea, sorry. You and your girlfriend just reminded me of two friends of mine that I never imagined as a couple until now''
Danny said and the faces of both Ishtar and Chaos turned red, either from embarrassment or anger.
''You piece of shit! you really think I would date...''
After the word date, Danny couldn't hear if they said 'him' or 'her' because they talked at the same time.
''Sorry, I understand it was a mistake. Bye!''
Danny said as he ran away.
''So, you were just starting to speak, what do you want from me''
Chaos said as he felt like dying after going to the same shop with the same girl at the same hour, a few days in a row and waiting for her to speak, just for her to tell him it doesn't matter and that they should just go back.
********
After seeing chaos and Ishtar, Danny got a bad feeling about what is going to happen when he gets to that one cheap hotel.
When he entered the hotel he noticed there was a bar and by the bar, there were two beautiful women sitting and chatting.
One of them was a redhead who went by the name Mira and he met her between a year to two years before, when they were in high school. And the other woman was a brown haired angel who went by the name Emma, though he did not know that because she looked different from the flirtatious angel he knew. For starters, Emma usually didn't wear anything special just to seduce people and she definitely did not flirt with anyone but him.
''Hello sir, I saw you looking at us. Do you want anything?''
Mira said to Danny in a flirtatious voice.
''No, sorry ms. it's just that you look extremely similar to one of my friends and she looks almost identical to my girlfriend''
Danny answered awkwardly and scratched the back of his head from under the hood which moved the hood a bit and revealed he had white hair.
Mira froze in place when she noticed the white hair, purple eyes, and the fact he said they looked like people he knew, especially his girlfriend looking like Emma.
''Danny... is, is that you''
She mumbled to herself while still being frozen in place a few minutes after he left and a tear went down her cheek, a tear both from sadness about Danny lying that he doesn't know them and excitement because she may have found Danny.
''Mira, are you okay?''
Emma asked as she noticed her somewhat friend was standing in the same place for a few minutes.
''I think this was Danny''
Mira said and Emma froze in place as well.
********
'After nearly exposing myself twice, I should just go to a bar and chill'
Danny thought.
A few minutes later he found a somewhat deserted bar and settled there.
''What do you wanna drink, first drink is on the house''
The barman was in fact not a person that Danny knew, he was a human with dark skin and was in fact, a human gifted.
''What gift did you get?''
Danny asked.
''Oh, you are good. I didn't think I gave it away. I am gods' delusion. Hazaya''
''Well, Hazaya. I want your strongest booze''
Danny said and ten seconds later he got a glass full of pure magical energy.
''Here you go, mr...''
Hazaya said.
''Danny, you can call me Danny. Do you know who thought of this amazing idea of using the effect that magic has on the mind in order to create stronger booze?''
Danny asked.
''I did before about... I don't even remember at this point. You see, I am a first generation gifted''
Hazaya said proudly.
It was around twelve at noon and the shop was nearly empty but then three unexpected people entered.
''Okay listen, you can't call me by my name around these people''
Danny said.
''Okay sir, I will keep that in mind''
Hazaya said and went to welcome the new guests.
''Atlas! How is it going? Where do you want to sit?''
Hazaya asked.
''By the bar''
Atlas said.
Dannys' eyes opened widely as he understood how bad the situation was. He drank all his glass in one shot, placed some money on the bar, and headed out.
''Danny, what are you doing, I told you that the first drink is free!''
Hazaya called out to Danny.
''Wait, you say his name is Danny?!''
Atlas said in surprise.
''Yes''
Hazaya answered.
''He is back! today we will drink in memory of this incredible development!''
Atlas said.
''Yes! Our leader is back!''
Momotaro and Will agreed excitedly.

Danny just went back to the hotel after all that happened that day... He woke up with a hangover.
