Moving on to where Quason, Ursa, Gabriel, and Satina went to, they met at a Spiritual Nexus where different dimensions will temporarily overlap and those realms will be accessible at the same time. Right now was the convergence of Heaven, Hell, and the Six Paths realm. As they went in they saw all sorts of angels, devils, Devas, Asuras, and other divine beings. They then heard people talking. It was Jesus, Lucifer, and Buddha discussing things they heard about in the human realm, and how they continue to advance each day. "Seems we have visitors. Sorry if we seemed distracted, we do this whenever we meet. Nice to meet you all." Lucifer said with a grin. Quason stated they needed to get stronger otherwise something bad will happen on New Years, which was coming up fast. Buddha nodded his head in agreement and decided to give Quason and Ursa the Six Trials of Pain. Lucifer agreed to train Satina in all the rings of Hell so she can absorb the souls of real extreme sinners that sit in the flaming pits in the outskirts of the towns and cities. Jesus wanted to train Gabriel in the ways of Angels in Heaven. So they all split and agreed to meet in a month, just in time to stop Olive and keep him from attaining his goal. They can't prevent him from becoming a god anymore, but they can beat him and seal him away at least. Because Gods can't interfere in the mortal realm, they're unable to interfere.
Gabriel opened his eyes when he got into Eden so the light wouldn't blind him. The garden was beautiful, full of animals of every kind and lush green grass with flowers and all sorts of plants. He also saw the Tree of Knowledge full of apples. "Hehehe, I know you must be thinking that the tree is forbidden. But the legend was twisted, I should know. My father told me what really happened. Adam and Eve did partake of the apples, but they weren't tricked or tempted into it. The true test was to see if they desired the true knowledge humans have now, and if they would allow that knowledge to spread. And so they passed, and the Garden wasn't big enough for them anymore, they needed someplace to start anew. Earth was the best option and so they went on their way. However some people couldn't handle the truth, and thus told lie after lie after lie. Lucifer became the primary victim to blame as he frequented the tree longer than most. He was a bit greedy for fruits, but never a liar or a traitor." he explained. Gabriel saw visions of what he was talking about, and it was all true. "Anyhow, Adam and Eve always visit this ring as a sort of honeymoon. This is where you'll be training for the next month. You better be prepared, because this might burn." he said. Gabriel nodded and summoned his sword ready to fight the angels that started to race at him. As he fought, he was cut multiple times by blades covered in heavenly fire, which felt like the sun brushed against his skin, but he fought through the pain, and beat all the angels. However because the angels were unable to truly die, they just reincarnated again. "Very good, that was the first wave. Each one stronger than the last. You'll have to heal fast, believe me, this will be painful." Jesus said as he helped heal Gabriel.
In Hell, Satina saw her home in the 5th ring and waved to her mom, dad, and little brother as she went into the final ring of Hell. It was like a winter wonderland with a frozen lake, large piles of snow, and there was even a little snowman with a carrot nose, coal eyes, and a top hat. "Welcome to my little wonderland of snow, this is where you'll be training for the month. You gotta be in it to win it, or you'll die here." he said. Satina just smirked and got ready to fight. A small wave of demons started to speed at her and started attacking with hit and run tactics and sliced at her with their claws. She fended them off one by one, making searing cuts on her entire body. She beat them back, but she was already exhausted and her body burned a bit with all the cuts. She saw these demon's true faces and saw that they were Nazi soldiers, so she absorbed their souls, gaining power from them. Lucifer smiled as he watched. "You're a true warrior young woman, but let's hope you can keep this up for the month. New Years will be here before you know it, and that Olive boy will be here to destroy everyone's homes and dreams in a brighter future. Heal up, and keep fighting." he said as Satina smiled as she healed herself ready for the next wave of demons.
Quason and Ursa went with Buddha in the Naraka Realm. It was full of hateful entities writing in pain and torment. It was honestly disgusting to watch. "Now, the goal is to make it into the Deva Realm by fighting your way through. This won't be easy you know, once you start, there's no option to quit. You either fight your way through, or die trapped here forever." Buddha said as he vanished in a ball of light. Quason and Ursa knew that was the case already, and saw the gate to the Preta Realm. As they ran, they saw people running at them with weapons fueled by hatred and yelled for them to stay in order to suffer as they have. They both fought through, not sparing them any mercy, and made sure not to give into their hateful words. They were slowly getting overwhelmed, spears and swords digging into them, so Ursa used a detonation spell to cause a shockwave, but it left her almost completely exhausted as she wasn't being empowered by the sky and stars she was connected to, so Quason helped her to the gate, and made it through to the Preta Realm. They both stopped to rest and heal, and saw Buddha there again. "Very good. You both made it. I admire your teamwork as well. The souls you absorb will become your power as well, as they convert into energy and therefore no consciousness to try and take you over. Resume tomorrow, this realm is longer than the last one, the beings here won't notice you since you're this far away." he explained, causing Quason to give a thumbs up and keep Ursa safe while she regained her strength.
