After saying all of that, Mio disappeared from everyone's sight which made all of them sigh in relief as the demon that was hovering in the air finally left, it felt so suffocating for them that they didn't even dare to breathe because her presence because they felt like they were going to lose their life even at the slightest move.
"You heard her words, now everyone who is affiliated with her little sister's kidnapping, I hope all of you have the most patience because all of you are going to be stuck in prison for quite some time~" Solar smiled evilly and her smile brought terror to everyone, but it was already too late for regrets if they only knew that they were messing with someone this powerful, they would have never accepted this job in the first place, but alas… they were swayed with the huge amount of money.
If only they knew what kind of people they were going to mess with, they would have never even accepted that request, even if the pay was big. Because at the end of the day, they were just a mid-range Assasin Group, and in front of all these powerful people… They were basically nothing.
"Hehehe… you know, that kind of face is really laughable. All of you are now regretting your decision to accept such a mission, you accepted it because you thought that Mio was a no-one and that she doesn't have any real background behind her, right? Well… in some ways, you are correct, but what you don't know is how powerful she is. Do me a favor will you, don't let a word out about this… because if you do, I can make your lives a living hell." Solar chuckled lightly, but her laugh was like a demon's laughter in everyone's ears.
All of them basically nodded their heads in fear of getting sentenced for even longer, they were already getting sentenced to jail, and there was nothing more that they wanted than for it to be extended. They were already at the very end, but if they chose to do the wrong thing, they would just make it worse for themselves and their family, so they could only relent.
Meanwhile, back at Mio's side. She was already back at her apartment and was lying on the bed next to Somi still with a guilty look on her face, when Somi saw this, she just sighed before opening her mouth.
"I know that you are worried about me, but you don't have to worry about a single thing. Mother actually already knew that there would be a day when something like this could happen, even though she is not fond of that. She still came prepared, that is why she left with some treasures that would protect me, so even though they managed to capture me, they weren't actually able to get near me." Somi then took off her earrings and showed them to Mio and when she laid her eyes on them, she couldn't help but tremble.

"Wha- what the hell is this? How is this so broken? It's so powerful!?" Mio exclaimed as she now felt that the thing that the thing she was holding was heavier than before even though it was just a pair of Earrings.
"Yeah… I know. Even with all the history of the Immortal Realm, I haven't read something where it stated that there was any item that could Negate All Types of Incoming Damage. This was the first, even the other gears didn't have this kind of effect, it was special only to me." Somi sighed as she began to remember her experience when she first saw the Earrings herself.
She even felt that Yuki was messing with her by giving such an item to her because it was simply too precious. She felt that such gear was useless in her hands who doesn't even fight at the front lines, she should have just given it to the others. But even so, her Mother insisted that she should take it, which led to this. She would have never expected that it would actually come in handy at this moment.
"Master… how amazing is she truly? It seems that I haven't even touched the surface of her greatness." Mio sighed as she began to look up at her Master even more than she already was, she would have never expected that she would be able to create such a thing with such ease.
Even though it was useless for her to compare herself to such an existence, she could never make something like that because it was simply impossible. At most, she can only make some Magic Circles that can buff gears to become powerful, like what she did with Irene's hair, that was the best she could do.
"I'm not trying to look down on you, but the things that you know about my Mother is simply too shallow. She is deeper than what you think, and I guess it's safe for me to say this. But the things that you are going to inherit from her, can make every god in the Immortal Realm to be jealous of you." Somi said lightly while gazing at the window with some thoughts in her head.
"Inherit? Does that mean there is going to be more than what she had already said to me a few days ago?" Mio asked.
"Of course, because if you remember correctly. Out of all the people that she took and raised, you are the best and most talented, which is what she says. But of course, some people would deny that. I'm going off-topic, but she said that if you ever refused to become the Leader of the 12 Constellations, you would instead have the position of the Queen of her other Group of your choice, whether it was the underworld group which consisted of all the evil things, or the heaven which consist of all the good things." Somi laid out all the choices that her Mother had given to Mio.
"What? Another Group? Then Lady Somi… can I ask you this, why does it seem that Master wants me to come to the Immortal Realm just to inherit her Group?" Mio has been meaning to ask this after knowing what her Master had planned for her.
"I don't really know about that, you can just ask her directly once you come to the Immortal Realm. But if I have to guess, it's because she wants you to have a footing in the Immortal Realm because I know for a fact that she wouldn't care what you do there, she won't spoon-feed you, you're basically on your own there. But she wants you to have at least a safety rope, which you inherit. But of course, you won't just become the Leader that quickly, you would need to start from the very bottom to really see if you are worth it."
