High above the skies, in the far depth of space, countless celestial bodies can be seen that dotted the vast space. These stars were titanic bodies that were millions of miles wide, but in these skies, they were nothing more than little specks of sand not worthy of mention at all.

On a certain dimly lit planet, countless silhouettes could be seen. From afar, this planet seemed extremely serene. It was only that the surface of the planet was covered in forests and mountains.

Surrounding this planet was a massive ring. This ring stretched out for millions of miles, passing through the skies like a beautiful and endless rainbow.

Presently, in a certain area, there was a quiet place adorned with cliffs all around, with a waterfall nearby. It was similar to a paradise, separate from the rest of the world.

Amidst the green peaks, a simple abode could be seen. Strange rocks formed a craggy terrain outside of the humble-looking hut. Gusts of gentle wind blew by, creating a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

Atop a gigantic rock, a flawlessly beautiful figure sat quietly in meditation. She was like a fairy in a painting, her appearance so beautiful that her looks could mesmerize all who viewed her. On her forehead was a mesmerising white eye dotted that seemed to contain everything in time and space.

Suddenly, this figure snapped her eyes open, an expression of shock and horror could be seen in the depth of her eyes.

Currently, she was seeing something that no one else could see in this entire part of the universe. A vision of sorts.

In this vision, she could see a figure, and from the vague shadow of this figure, she could make out that this was a male figure.

In this vision, this figure stood loftily above a certain planet that looked extremely similar to the one she was in now. He looked down on the planet and from his point of view, there was a vast crimson plane which looked endless and majestic as if burning the entire world was a matter of course for it.

Behind him, countless golden chains rose into the skies and made them look broken. This picture was so grand that it could leave even her stunned.

"This is weird. A storm is coming, and from the looks of things, it would be a catastrophe. Sigh, what a pain." This figure said to herself.

"I need to let the Matriarch know of this," saying, a portal opened beside her which she floated into while maintaining her sitting position.

.....

In a throne room, a figure sat on a large and plainly adorned throne. She had a face of such beauty that it left one breathless, yet there was something demonic about her features.

This kind of beauty lacked any kind of charm, and her white pair of eyes seemed devoid of emotion. They only seemed to contain a fearsome stateliness as though she was a peerless expert.

There was no aura emanating from her at all—it felt like she wasn't even a living person.

She had horns as large as a demon curved upwards her head with a slit on her forehead.

As this figure looked into space boringly, there was a slight fluctuation in space in front of which made her retract her gaze and look toward the forming portal.

From the portal, the figure of the flawless beauty emerged while still floating in a lazy manner, not bothering to pay adequate respect one was supposed to pay when facing a figure such as herself.

"Uuyuki-sama." The flawless beauty greeted as a form of courtesy.

The now named Uuyuki simply nodded her head slightly in response to the greeting, not bothering to comment on the lack of respect.

"Mou~ Uuyuki -nee, if you continue with this behaviour of yours I'm not going to speak to you again. Plus, you won't get married," the flawless beauty said.

From the looks of things, these two we actually sisters. Blood sisters as a matter of fact.

The cold and emotionless expression on Uuyuki softened slightly but she still glared at the flawless beauty without saying anything.

The beauty smiled wryly and shook her head before saying, "Fine. Fine. Keep at it. One day this attitude of yours may likely be the cause of your downfall."

Uuyuki didn't have any reaction to this statement. This wasn't the first time she was hearing this from her little sister.

With another piercing glare, the flawless beauty continued. "Yes. Yes. I have an urgent matter to report. Minutes ago, I had another vision and unlike the ones before. This one would have a devastating effect on us."

"Not only us, though, the entire planet as it is. Now I've always told you how my vision works so you should know that behind any event there is always a cause, a trigger. So deal with it as you see fit," the flawless beauty said.

"Show," Uuyuki simply said. The beauty smiled and said. Making a full sentence wouldn't hurt you know. You should be happy you have this me as a little sister, if not, we wouldn't know where you would be now."

Saying this, the eye on her forehead glimmered and a beam of light shot toward the slit on Uuyuki's forehead.

The slit on Uuyuki's forehead opened up to show a dark colored eye with countless white dots within, similar to the sight one would see in the night skies.

This eye was the direct opposite of the beauty's eye. While the beauty's eye could enable her to pry into the future, Uuyuki's eye gave her a universal perception of things. Omniscience in the area she wants to see with nothing obstructing her sight.

As the beam shot into her eye, it closed momentarily before snapping open once again. This time a terrifying light could be seen within.

She closed her two eyes while the light in the third eye shone increasingly bright. A few moments later, a sound akin to something breaking was heard and her two eyes opened once more only this time, a hint of terror could be seen within.

From her forehead, a line of blood dropped down and fell from her face.

"Can't see," she said while looking at the beauty.

"Now that's problematic. Seems like this person is stronger than your average person. Should we inform Vishnu-nee about this?" The beauty asked.

"No. Vishnu. Work," Uuyuki said.

"I know she has her own duties but this is a matter concerning our home. We went through hell to secure this galaxy after all. This part of the universe belongs solely to us and Vishnu-nee played an important role in it,"

"Should anything happen to this place without us informing her, she'd be pissed and probably wipe a certain family out of this universe even if it means her death. We don't want that do we?" The beauty reasoned.

Uuyuki seemed to be deep in thought for a few seconds before saying, "Summon. Elder. Meeting."

"What? Why?" The beauty asked.

"Anomaly," Uuyuki stated simply.

"Sigh, really? Whatever you say, Nee-san. You are the brains after all. I'll summon the elder for a meeting then," the beauty said and prepared to leave.

"Miyuki," Uuyuki said before the beauty could leave.

The beauty paused and looked back, "You know she hates you right? You used her daughter as a bargaining chip against those people."

"Necessary. Will understand." Uuyuki said

"Hopefully, she'll understand. She alone could put up a good fight with Vishnu-nee. Should her husband be added into the mix, even all three of us combined won't be able to hold them." The beauty said as she turned and floated away.

As she left, the look in Uuyuki's eyes gradually softened and became more human. She looked into space and sighed.

If the beauty from before should see this, even she would be shocked. This was something she had never seen before, ever since she could comprehend things, this elder sister of hers has always been cold and emotionless.

What nobody knows though is that due to the harsh treatment she and her family had received growing up, she had developed the ability to 'see' what is hidden deep in people. Both mind and heart.

With her strength increasing, so did her ability and with the third eye in the mix, she could basically 'see' everything everyone is thinking and feeling on a galactic scale.

And being exposed to both the deep evil and good of the heart of living beings, her emotions gradually died down to its most basic state. And currently except for a few people she rarely trusts anyone.

This ability of hers has helped her throughout her journey from childhood to her current state of authority. Both in fights, arguments, schemes, and many more. She could see it all before it even happen.

And although she appeared emotionless, her trusted ones were her weak point. The vision from earlier entailed that this entire world was destroyed, and her trusted ones still lived on this planet.

That was something she wouldn't tolerate. So with her True sight, she wanted to find the culprit and end him as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, she couldn't but her guy feeling told her that the root cause of this destruction originates from this place.

With that in mind, she needed to talk to every power holding individual on the planet.

This was a step she knew had always worked. Although the heart of people was difficult to understand, communication is one way to unravel its mysteries. And at a certain stage of existence, certain misconducts, such as lies and mischief becomes redundant.

As such, speaking your thoughts unhindered is a necessity to progress. This way why although she finds it hard to communicate, she doesn't shy away from hearing the opinions of others, but when she talks, whether you understand her or not, she couldn't be bothered any longer.

'Let's hope it all ends well. This figure even made me feel a rather unpleasant feeling from way back then. Fear, huh? It's been a long time.' thinking this, her expression morphed back to its previous cold and the emotionless state as her third eye closed back.

.....

Meanwhile, a certain anomaly was currently leaving his dimension after a short bout with his wives.

Suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine that made him shiver.

'What? What was that?' he thought why liking around in alertness only to realise that he was still in his dimension. No harm could possibly befall him in here. At least that's what he thinks.

Unknown to him that he, fortunately, avoided the sight of an absolute existence in the universe.

"Is something the matter, Shun?" Hinami asked as she noticed the change in Shun's countenance. His normally pale face became even paler and his eye darted around unceasingly.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I just felt that someone was looking at me with unclear intentions." Shun replied truthfully.

"Hmm. If you say so." Hinami said.

Meanwhile, Kaguya was thinking, 'Hah~ that reminds me of Aunty, she could possibly know and see what going on over here if she tries hard enough. She used to show me her abilities back then. Sigh.'

Shun recovered his calm and continued to make preparations to leave the dimension, only this time, a sense of foreboding was constantly assailing him. His confidence in his strength kept him going though.

'Something is definitely wrong. I don't know what it is but I doubt it could possibly harm me. Even if it could. I still have some living saving measures to take. The problem now is Hinami, Ria and Kaguya. Could they handle something that makes even me feel threatened?' Shun thought as he finally finished making his preparations.

"Alright ladies. Off we go," he said and immediately, they all disappeared.
