Within the vastness of a world separated from ours, yet very close and connected to it, within the Heavenly Realm, entities known as Gods existed. All of them gathered together, discussing what has happened only hours ago. The many events that brought the end of the Demon King were too far from their own expectations. Not even them knew what exactly was occurring half of the time.

Perhaps because they were not truly the Gods everyone thought they were Alas, they did what they could, with whatever power or authority they held, and managed to somehow help the brave heroes defeat the Demon King, even though their own powerlessness also brought the First Contact to Earth, something they were trying to stop, yet could not.

"Was granting Planta the Authority of a World Boss the only way we could had handled things?" Gaia spoke, her figure unleashing a dazzling, shining aura around herself. The other gods sitting around the table glanced at her with meaningful eyes.

"Gaia, there was no other way." A god covered on flames spoke, demon-like horns growing from his forehead as a blazing third eye shot a ferocious glance at her from within his forehead. "Stop protesting against it, this is already done, we cannot pull back now. The system was also compromising itself."

"The System this, the System that!" Gaia angrily said. "Giving Planta such a big responsibility Aren't you all too shameless?! Stop blaming the system, you're also to blame for your shamelessness."

"There's no reason to go this far, Amanda, please." Sighed a beautiful lady wrapped in darkness and the night, the patron of Dark Elves and the ruler of the night and darkness, Nyx.

"But Kimiko! This is the first time we've introduced the power of a World Boss into a player, and every simulation we've ran always ended in them growing corrupted by the Title's powers!" Sighed Gaia, crossing her arms.

"Isn't Planta different though? She has proved herself to be quite worthy." A beautiful lady covered in ice, with a long hair made of flowing water spoke, her shiny aquamarine eyes and the gills in her neck easily shown she was the Goddess of Oceans and Winter, patron goddess of the mermen and mother of the spirits of water, Aquamarine. "You, as her patron, should be believing the most on her, no?"

"Gaia, we've chosen her because we deem her worthy." Said a tall lady, resembling a giantess, made of stones, jewels, and volcanic lava. Her eyes resembled two shiny rubies, and her long hair was made of molting stone, she was the patron of Dwarves, Gnomes, and Brownies, Terra, the Goddess of the Earth. "You've already proven to all of us that she was strong and worthy. Are you not trusting her now?"

"I do trust her! I am merely quite concerned. And it doesn't make it any easier when the next Demon King is going to free himself from the Underworld in a month from now, all while Earth will no longer be the same." Gaia lamented.

"It was beyond our capabilities, Gaia. Stop blaming yourself for everything." Sighed the God of Creation. "We came to an agreement over this matter because we truly needed a being that could go against them, even if not equally. Planta had all qualifications. Unlike other Players, she had created a body within our world that was not just a lump of Data, she had become part of our world, and even more, a pillar for all life. Who else to grant this Title than her, it will only bring her great benefits on her future endeavors. We did this as a way to thank you for having brought her here as well I never imagined you would take this so badly."

"W-Well, certainly! Planta's the best." Gaia smiled proudly. "Even while logging off, she still exists in our world, so I guess she's the most fitting for it but I can't help but worry. I suppose I do have to trust her"

"Now, to more important matters, we need to quickly try to fix the cracks left behind by the previous Demon King, these ones connect to Earth. We've closed most of the larger ones, but small ones remain They're too small and scattered for us to be able to close them properly. If we do not do something about this, things might only begin to get worse." The God of Creation sighed.

"We can't ask the Players for help or we'll risk more of them learning the truth. We can only trust Planta and her companions, but who knows what others could do if they knew the truth?" Sighed Aquamarine.

"True we can't make this into an interactive Quest- Wait, we could always just as them nicely then, no?" Terra suggested.

"Are you suggesting giving even more work to my Planta?!" Gaia angrily said.

"Certainly, there's nobody else that could do this like them. They're also in the other world, developing magic slowly. That world might also change promptly. The enormous quantities of Mana left behind will surely mutate living beings into monsters, and that's not even the worst that could happen." Nyx lamented.

"Those that share the connection between both worlds are ideal for the task." Sighed the God of Flames and Blacksmiths, Hephaestus.

"You're right." Gaia sighed. "I guess there's no helping it-"

DING! DING! DING!

[WARNING! WARNING!]

Suddenly, several system windows emerged around the Gods, startling them.

"What's happening?! System!"

The Gods quickly began pressing invisible buttons around them as they input several passwords to access the system's inner workings, finding out something happening!

[WARNING! WARNING!]

[A Mysterious Entity has found the cracks leading to the other world and has begun infiltration!]

[Attempting solution]

[ERROR]

[Impossible, not enough Divine Power to deploy automatic defenses.]

"Shit" The God of Creation muttered, sweating bullets.

Meanwhile, within the confines of the Underworld, the Demon King of Death's blue colored flames flickered, as his empty eyes began overflowing with joy.

"Kehahaha! Well done, my underling! This other world All of its souls shall be mine to feast on!"
