Immortal runes form the basic constructs of this world. They are cold and un-emotive rules that guard and form the various functions of this world. Every one of it is mighty strong as each immortal rune encompasses the whole world.
Terasume never planned to fight Eija, a sealed High Goddess. From the start, Terasume plan was to rouse not just the curiosity of the hidden goddess, but more importantly of the immortal runes.
"Hmmm, if I don't resist, it will be just a case of banishment from the mortal realm and I will be able to easily come back in a short while, after re-sealing my powers. However, I strongly believe that I would regret it if I leave now. Especially when an underhanded goddess has purposefully pitted me against the immortal runes," spoke aloud Elizabeth to no one in particular.
"Hmmm, decisions decisions..."
"Heh, It's been a while since I stretched my arms," finished Eija with a ferocious smile that will make anyone who saw her not associate her with the word Goddess, but with the word, 'Beast'.
"Terasume, you should not have messed with a girl who has abstained from s*x. The lack of a good pounding will turn any girl into an animal, a ferocious bloodthirsty animal..." muttered Eija, but the more she spoke the more rough and raw her voice started to sound. Her canines extended and a bloody gleam came over her eyes.
"I, Eija Clibatius, Goddess of Celibacy, calls upon thy Divine inscription, the Rune of Celibacy. Your companion and your devout practitioner, calls upon you to lend me your immortal might. Come possess my soul, flow through my veins, fill my flesh!"
"RUNE FUSION!" thundered the solemn voice of Elizabeth.
As soon as Eija finished chanting, amongst the emerging red runes, a big spatial raft has opened up and a big red shimmering inscription started to come out from the spatial rift.
What came out was a single letter, it is an inscription of a complicated pattern. The divine inscription looked aged and powerful. It appeared as if it was as old as time itself.
Unlike the sparkling phantom immortal runes that materialized to entrap and expel Eija, the larger rune that was emerging out of the spatial rift was more solid and was more intimidating. The space around the rune kept flickering indicating the fabric of space is incapable of withstanding its very presence.
When the large rune fully emerged, it formed a resonance with Eija, as the blue lightning around her started to flicker in the same shimmering majestic red of the immortal rune. The rune slowly floated to Eija, the closer it came, the smaller it became. The complicated immortal rune shrank down to the size of a fingertip and settled right between Eija's eyebrows, melding into her skin.
Immediately upon the merger of the flesh and the rune inscription, the God aura on Eija skyrocketed like an exploding inferno. There was no world crackling explosion, by the mere presence of Eija changed and exhibited an unquestionable authority and unshakable dignity.
The other phantom immortal runes seemed to be provoked by Ejia's undisguised God aura. However, even their collective power is not enough to overpower the fully unsealed Eija.
"Now, let me witness your god opposing might!" commanded Ejia with a bloody glint.

While hiding in a fractured space crevice, Terasume witnessed the full unsealing of Eija's power. Just the mere God aura, shook the nouveau goddess to her core, she did not expect the power difference to be this massive.
'I guess I have looked down too much on the sealed High Goddess of the Empyrean era. Good thing the immortal runes are here to keep her company. If not, she could completely destroy me with just a flick of her hand. Now that I know that she can't be held off for long, I have to complete my mission sooner than expected…' thought Terasume, as she hurriedly melded into the space channels to escape the detection of the Immortal runes.

Charlie picked up that something was happening with the behavior of Elizabeth. Though he can't pinpoint what's going on with her, he knows that something is wrong with her. He was anxiously waiting for his wife, worried over her…
With a forced smile, he was conversing with those of the upper management of the company, suddenly a familiar voice chimed in...
"Mr. CEO, you should toast with me," Irene walked in holding two glasses of premium liquor.
"Hello Miss Skyes, I don't drink alcohol. How about I toast a glass of water?"
"It is not very gentlemanly to turn down a girl's request and didn't I tell you to call me Irene?"
[Beep… beep… beep…]
While Charlie was trying to accommodate the fake anger of Secretary Skyes his mobile phone rang with a notification…
[Come soon to our room where we freshened up before the party started.]
"Mr. CEO, eyes up here. You still haven't…"
As soon as Charlie saw the text he left Irene in the middle of the conversation and rushed to the room they checked in temporarily. He hurried to the room, not in the hopes of getting lucky, Charlie knew his wife better. She is not someone to get frisky in the middle of a corporate party. In all the years he knew Elizabeth, she has never initiated anything this spontaneous. Charlie knew something was seriously wrong with his wife, he rushed to her worried over her behavior.
"Charlie! I was still talking…'
Being abruptly ignored in front of her colleagues embarrassed Irene, she stomped her foot in anger and went following the speeding Charlie to give him a piece of her mind.
Charlie was never a man of valor or violence, he's very soft-spoken and polite. That doesn't mean he is weak or cowardly. Charlie is a man with gold in his knees. All is fair in love and war. For a man like Charlie, who places love above everything; if for love, he wouldn't even hesitate to kill.
Quickly, he arrived in front of the room. As he was about to reach for the door handle, a bad feeling crept up inside his heart. An ominous feeling, as if his heart is telling him not to open the door…
Charlie hesitated, yet in the end, he still opened the door.
Click!
The sold mahogany door opened up with a faint creak, the opaque door moved aside to unveil the sight inside, and what Charlie saw made his thoughts freeze into nothingness. It was as if a bomb went off in mind and destroying everything…
As Charlie was struggling to process the image that he was seeing, Secretary Irene quickly followed up to him.
"Mr. Shawn, leaving abruptly is…"
[Gasp] "…mi …Mrs. Shawn … What are you doing?!"
