The Goddess bid her farewell towards Hades and quickly disappeared into a black hole. As for Hades, he hurriedly descended right below to find something.
"Now where's that core at?"
Satan landed as he continues his search.
***
A core is a shard-looking refined crystal. All existing Gods and Demonic creatures have them. The core is also the one thing which is acting as a heart for these godlike beings, unlike humans who have a real organ-like heart.
The grades of these cores vary per rank; in the case of the Demonic Creature, which has been neutralized by Izanami, its core is at the threshold of Ethereal, which is two ranks above Null, three ranks above Void and four ranks above High Gods.

Somewhere in Davao City.
[Just In.
Due to the sudden change of weather and along with the abundant thunderstorms, residents of the regions in Mindanao should stay indoors to avoid being struck by a stray thunder].
"Hey, have you heard?"
"Heard what exactly?"
"You see...
.....
...
With the endless chattering in the streets and the noise of vehicles adding to it. The entire place is bustling with many necessary and unnecessary information all at once.
A young girl holding a white umbrella looked upon the dissipating dark clouds with a faint smile on her face.
"That should do it."
A strong wind blew over and lifted the umbrella, making it hover in mid-air momentarily. At that moment, a young girl in her teens wearing a plain white t-shirt imprinted with a crying dragon and plain black jogging pants, along with a cross-body sling bag hanging on her back blew away the minds of the passing civilians in the streets, with her light platinum hair, pale skin, petite body and golden eyes which captivated many people and due to that, some of the people who saw her questioned and even took photos and videos of her without her consent.
*SNAP*
"Hey, look! That girl looks like a Goddess!"
"Seriously! She's born to be an idol!"
"An idol? Oh please! She's born to be my waifu!"
Endless debates kept pushing back and forth. The girl didn't mind and came to pick up her umbrella.
With the meddleness of some people, they took it as an opportunity and fought over who would pick up the umbrella; with how they hustled and tussled over one umbrella, one successfully grabbed her umbrella first.
As soon as he picked up the umbrella, the girl reached out her small hand and asked him to hand it over.
"Human, hand it over."
Hearing her cute and cold voice, the people around her weren't able to contain their excitement and shouted in unison.
"OOOOOOOOOH!"
"You heard her voice?!"
"Goddamn! It feels like she's really a Goddess!"
"Maybe she is!!"
"I simp."
The person who grabbed her umbrella slowly approached her to give her umbrella back, but after hearing their nonsensical cries and questions, she looked at him irritated.
"Hand it over now before I punch your face."
"Oh! Okay, okay, but can you give me your contact number right after? Hehehe..."
Her eye twitched with anger, and finally, she snapped at him and grabbed his collar.
"Hey, do you think I'm an easy person?"
She then looked around them disgustingly and warned of them as she continued to choke the man.
"If you don't want to be buried six feet under, you people best get the fuck out of here before I snap your necks."
Though that was meant to be a warning, the people around her took it as a roleplay and loved her even more.
"FEISTY!"
"Please step on me next my Goddess!"
"No! Me first, she's already grabbing my collar so she should step on me first!"
The girl was so confused about the situation and deemed them hopeless, so to escape her situation, she picked up her phone from her pocket and made a call.
"Hey."
"?"
"Are you done with your press conference yet?"
"..."
"I'll take your silence as a yes."
[LIVE.
Just In.
The President of the Philippines suddenly disappeared out of nowhere during the press conference...]
While the news is being reported. A bright-looking young man entered the streets in exchange for the disappearance of the beautiful young girl.
This young man looked identical to her, so the people who were surrounding the once beautiful girl grew confused about the situation as they saw him.
"What?!"
"Who's that young man?!"
"It doesn't look like he's wearing any make-up at all, but! He already looks like a God Descent!"
"Yeah! He only lacks a wing at this point!"
"Even if you put all the members of TSB, you can't just price this Godly appearance!"
The young man stood firmly in front of the people and smiled brightly at them.
"Hello, everyone. Can you please make some way for me?"
His pupils shone bright as gold reflecting their images.
"Ah... Yes... We will make way for you."
"Yes... Sorry for the trouble we've caused."
The people around him spoke like their hypnotized.
"Thank you."
He said with a bright look on his face.
As soon as he walked out of the crowd, he looked back at them and politely asked with a smiling face.
"Ah... And also, please delete all the pictures and videos you've taken so far."
As he gave out this polite command. The people behind him started deleting the photos and videos of him and her. He looked at the white umbrella, which was being held by a bystander, and glared at it.
He glared at the umbrella. With not even a second later the white umbrella disintegrated into dust along with its hilt.
"Now, everyone should disperse."
With the crowd fully dispersing, the young man instantly changes his appearance to that of a middle-aged man in his 30s with zero revealing features. Just a normal guy enjoying his day.
"What was I doing?"
"Huh?"
"Where are we going again?"
Some of the confused crowd who dispersed questioned. Like they didn't know what happened right after "their" appearance. Completely wiping out any remaining memories of the two involved.
Not even the CCTV caught any evidence of the two being present in the same position. Like it was filtered out, completely deceiving the onlookers and quietly blending in the crowd.
*BRRRR*
The phone in his blue jeans kept vibrating non-stop, but he adamantly picked it up.
"Hello?"
"#@£@#_##£_!"
The call he received was a bunch of curses aimed directly towards him. Even though he was being cursed out, he cheerfully answered.
"How's the conference going~?"
"@#£@£@#&#!!!"
*HANG UP*
"Ah~ What a beautiful day for the world to start its new era."
As he quietly hung up the call, the young man nonchalantly stared at the bustling streets.
Earlier, after the two swapped places.
After being swapped with him. Inside the conference hall, the girl arrived right behind the podium.
She was flabbergasted about the situation, so she temporarily hid right inside it, but as soon as one of the staff came close to the podium for a quick inspection of the President's disappearance, she quickly transformed herself into a cat.
"MEOW~"
"Aw~ there's a cute white kitty right inside the podium.
Come here, who's a good cat~?"
The white cat is about to meet a cuddly doom, so leaving it no choice, it has shown its claws and scratched the staff's face.
"MEOW!!"
*RUN*
"AW!
You little!"
Right after scratching the staff's face, the white cat immediately made a run for it. The staff who got scratched clenched her fist and chased right after the running cat but after meeting a corner at the end of the hallway. The staff who were chasing the cat was puzzled.
"What? Isn't this a dead end?"
She scratched her head and touched her faintly bleeding face filled with scratch marks.
"Hisss...
OUCH!
Haa... I'll just go and apply an ointment, but gosh darn, that cat! IS SO ADORABLE!"
Right as the staff left, the cat was unknowingly hidden right inside and air ventilation just above her earlier.
The cat then grabbed a phone right under her and this is the time when she called the young man she swapped places with. Berating him with countless cursed words endlessly until finally the person in question eventually hung up.
"Tsk... I'll make you pay for this! Mark Eishu!!"
The man he cursed sneezed knowing the reason.
"She must be mad right now.
Good thing she erected another layer of barrier if it weren't for this newly erected barrier.
Who knows? The mortals drenched by the demonic beast's rain might corrode or, worse, maybe even turn into demonic foreign creatures like that big guy."
[Just In.
The stormy weather is slowly dissipating...
