I looked at my kneeling friend offering me his life with a smile. As a joyous expression came over mine.
"From this day forth you'll be more than just a CEO you'll be more than just a simple person you'll become something far greater"
I pulled out my scythe conjured from the Barka. It's a black blade that can cut through any light and its malice red lining the inside. I placed it at this neck.
"I will say this once. Do you accept death"
He looked up at the blade with no hate only a gentle smile and pure eyes.
"Of course, I do why would I kneel before someone who I didn't think was capable"
"Enjoy the ride ill have everything you need there"
"Their? Wha-"
I sliced the blade across his neck ending his life before taking his soul and placing it into my ribcage where my inner world is. Making sure I gave him the special permission talked before.
"Elinor were going to head in after him for now We need to settle ranks and a certain somebody I picked up"
She rolled her eyes at the last thing I said.
"You are an idiot and you just keep doing whatever you want. It's going to nip you in the butt one day and don't say I warned you Also one thing I want to tell you is how did you even win that fight I had you right where I wanted you"
"It's easy I just dropped my scythe and could have killed you if I didn't catch it"
"That's so mean I hope you know you'll never get that lucky again"
She pouted a little puffing out her cheeks.
"Fine I won't do it again my little goddess"
I opened a portal into my inner world.
"I'll just let it kill you next time"
I jumped in as she covered her face before coming in after me. The area we walked in was a garden so beautiful mixed with all kinds of colors. The air wasn't toxic at all it was even refreshing. In the background, there was a giant castle with many rooms and layers of villages and homes stretching for 3 miles all encased in this perfect utopia.
"It feels nice to be here"
Elinor looked at me
"You've never been here"
"Well ya, I've been doing a lot constantly well let's get the business done. We need to settle ranks and how they will be distributed and other stuff. We are established a little on the outside but here we are pretty much godes. Which needs to happen outside ASAP."
"I know I know I'm doing my best all right"
Elinor looked sad at the comment I made.
"It's fine you're doing great I know it's hard so don't put yourself down. Today I want to establish our workforce which is issue two and in order to do that we need to set goals and also ranks."
"That seems pretty easy"
"I wish it was but ranks need to be obtainable but also relevant to what we are. We are going to go into religion a lot so we need to have a strong church-based government where you or I make decisions."
"I see so basically a theocracy where the gods are us are at the top. now I know why it's hard but I think its easier than you think"
"What makes you say that we implement rules ranks and a perfect theocracy."
"You make it seem like an arduous task. Why don't you take my lead this time my dear dark prince"
She pulled me to the castle calling every person into attendance. Her divine power is displayed to all who watch it. Grandal stood in the room and I brought him to my side next to the grand throne where Elinor sat.
I made two more thrones. One in absolute darkness made with bones and glamorous skulls at the sides and the other made with glorious gold. That looks so precious. That it may as well be put into a museum.
Elinor spoke in an authoritative voice.
"On the outside world, we have secured one of our goals but our second requires more than just us. It requires each and every one of you."
Every dead soul looked at her in seething fury. They were each killed by her in gruesome ways. One was killed by being boiled to death to test his resistance to fire. Being a fire magician he was confident but it was crushed with each session. Gaining more burns than could be healed each time. The others were in way worse ways. Being killed and brought back for psychological experiments or physical reinforcement. each was furious about it and it resulted in the room in front of Elinor.
It was unexpected after all most of them attended to her. Her mind went ramped. I looked at her and thought she is a great leader able to make powerful words and move people but it was to the wrong audience. Well ill help out to quiet everyone down.
I stood up from my thrown showing my true form as death.
"HAY quiet down you useless idiots." I brought my scythe out and teleported to the closest person putting it to his throat.
"I'll kill everyone here over and over again if you don't listen you are all under my control after all so you are also under hers. You understand. We were going to let some free but I guess no one at all wants to be let out at all."
Everyone quieted down eminently. I turned to Elinor.
"You can continue now and I'm sorry such a sight graced you Grindal"
He coughed and looked at the development.
"It's fine I have to learn quickly or be lost"
"I'm glad you understand now Elinor you can continue"
She smiled and looked at everyone.
"As you can see we are letting some out however we are going to assign ranks to the people we let out to set up our theocracy in the real world. There will be a total of 20 ranks. There is a lot so bear with me but if anything most of them are to sort people into religion, economics, military, internal politics this includes the people and external politics. Each of you will have a chance to be put into a rank and be able to climb up to apostille which is directly under us gods."

The ranks will be explained in the next chapter. don't remember them though there is only a couple you need to
