1412 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 53/?: Have Faith, You're Not Alone

"No… there's no way Kireina-sama is dead…" She muttered. "She must be somewhere!" Said Rimuru, as she began to fill herself with courage. No matter what, Kireina had always been a persistent entity, she had been torn apart into pieces, many times apparently killed, but she always came back somehow. Rimuru had to trust her, no matter where she was now… She knew, she had the sudden intuition that she would come back to her.
But for now, she couldn't stay here sitting like a duck. She had to move. Kireina gave her the task of "continuing" which meant that she had to continue moving towards Hel, confront her and defeat her, this was the mission everybody was here for… But where could the other Supreme Gods be?
Rimuru also felt the enormous power of Hel's Supreme Domain, it was covering the entire Realm, it was so big and thick that it formed a black fog that tried to suffocate her. Rimuru had to quickly cover herself with her own Supreme Domain to resist the power of Hel's Supreme Domain, gasping for air after a bit.
She gripped her fists as she looked into the horizon, closing her eyes suddenly and then unleashing waves of supreme divine spiritual energies around her surroundings, crossing hundreds of kilometers in a second.
FLUOOOSH!
After three seconds, Rimuru opened her eyes, she was able to see the trails, there were several lights spread across the Realm, that's where the other Supreme Gods were. A big yellow-gold and green light was Flora, another was like a cosmos, that was Aura, and there were two together, a blue and a white one, Lucifer and the System Master.
The closest to her was Flora, she decided to quickly gather all the Supreme Gods that had dispersed everywhere, she didn't had the time to grieve for Kireina, and she was already talking about what had happened with everybody else inside her divine realm, as Zehe, Nesiphae, and Brontes quickly emerged out of her divine realm, the power of Kireina's Death Veil was unactive, but Rimuru had received a fragment of this path jewel from Kireina before she disappeared, and she fused it with a path jewel she had to replicate the ability, which she named spiritual death veil, covering her allies with it.
As she had the intention of moving out and not fighting for now, she called her three friends for now, as it would be too dangerous to bring too many people outside, even less the children, her children in specific. Popi was of course here, sitting over her head as he was like her guardian. Rimuru was looking around her surroundings as her three friends were here.
"Honey…" Sighed Zehe. "Everything was so sudden… Honey… Where is she?" Zehe was very affected, as she began to look desperately everywhere, using her Pseudo Divine Domain to cover her own body and then unleash shockwaves of darkness everywhere, but to no avail, she had yet to find her.
"It was all so sudden… It's all fault of that damn Flora! She forced Kireina to eat that fruit to block the damage everyone would take…" Sighed Nesiphae angrily. "I'm gonna beat the shit out of that goddess!"
"You can't do that…" Sighed Brontes. "She's our ally at the end of the day. I am… Also rather shocked, I don't have enough words to describe how I feel, to be honest. It is rather hard to cope with this…" Brontes looked into the horizon with a sorrowful gaze. "But we must strive forward, Zehe, Nesiphae, let's not falter here, we have to continue moving."
"Brontes…" Sighed Zehe. "Y-You're right, this is not me… Only with honey I am so weak and spoiled but… She's not here any longer, I cannot really cry forever…" Zehe wiped her tears valiantly. "As Rimuru said, she's most likely alive, somewhere… I am sure of it, I can feel it. The Divine Connection we have with her is not gone. I can feel her… She's somewhere else, but she's still… She must be alive."
"Maybe… You're right!" Said Nesiphae. "I… How can I get so stupid? I have to just continue… You're right Brontes. We are Pseudo Supreme Goddess after all, we must quickly cope with things or we won't get anywhere. This is probably what that bitch of Hel wanted us to feel like, we can't just let her get away with it."
"Right!" Said a shadow that suddenly emerged out of Rimuru's Divine Realm, it was an enormous three-headed wolf, Wagyu!
"Kireina-sama is someone incredible and formidable, she won't fail nor die so easily by eating some fruit with some little power! She's most likely somewhere, I will sniff her out and find her for you, I have three noses, all of them at Pseudo Supreme God Level after all!" Said Wagyu valiantly, waving his various tails as his enormous and imposing size relieved the girls.
"Wagyu, you're as reliable as ever guu!" Said Rimuru, jumping over Wagyu's back. "Girls, let's go! Wagyu will help us find Kireina, meanwhile, we also need to gather the Supreme Gods, I can sense them all, let's gather them in a group and find the way towards Hel, this is not over yet!"
Rimuru's valiant words inspired the hearts of the girls, as they nodded, quickly jumping over Wagyu's back. All the girls recalled the past a bit, the first time they met Kireina, and how she changed their lives for the better…
They remembered her well, Rimuru was summoned, for Zehe was being rescued from her life as a slave to a necromancer, having her life forbidden instead of getting killed, Nesiphae was rescued from her swamp, being able to explore the world outside, and Brontes was guided by her since she was a little Thunder Spirit, slowly growing stronger, and being recalled of her past, emotionally supported, and even was helped to avenge her previous life family when she fought against the Abyss Cyclops Progenitor, Vretrion.
All of them smiled, as they moved forward, this journey had yet to come to an end.
