"The mana density…"

Spoke the blindfolded goddess Castellina, as she felt the change in the mana in the city. Earlier she could sense that there were minor changes, so she thought little of it, but now that the changes were shifting once again, she can see them properly again.

"It's Charm Magic. It's quite thin… the most it could do is solidify a mindset. Any average mage could easily break free from this charm and won't even feel it," spoke the God of Mana, Hecate, as he analyzed the change in mana.

"I don't feel anything, though. Is it really something we should be concerned with?" Chimed in the God of Sun, Helios, as he observed the faces of his two companions. He doesn't enjoy wasting time, and prefers finishing work the fastest way.

"Can't really say. This frequency of charm magic at this scale shouldn't possibly do anything," the goddess spoke, wondering if they should look into it or not. After all, it's simply to the level of increasing the overall temperature of an area by half a degree. Doesn't really amount to much, if one thinks about it.

"Let's go. It's not like we have anything else to do until fate shows up. Who knows, we might end up finding something?" The God of Magic decided to still check it out, anyway.

If they were to find out something, then it wouldn't be a waste. If they didn't find anything, then that's all it would amount to. Not like they have anything better to do.

"Hopefully," Helios said as he walked first.

"Wait. Let's first reduce our auras. Since we are walking among humans, pretending to be average would help us gather more information than walking like this," Hecate spoke as he reduced his aura even more.

"Wasn't the previous reduction already enough?" Helios didn't understand the intention, though.

They had already reduced their powers to match with the people around. For now, they would appear as strong people among humans. This way people will respect them while also not disturbing their investigation.

Reducing their powers even more would make them seem pretty average among the people here, which could create a lot of unnecessary obstacles.

"I guess so. But I just sensed something interesting." Hecate only smiled in response as he checked his aura, which was equal to those of the average human around them. He then looked at Castellina, who just sighed and followed the same.

"Tsk. It better be worth the trouble." Helios clicked his tongue before doing the same. Even though he didn't like it, he knew that he wasn't the best strategist among the trio.

"Trust me, it will be," Hecate just smiled with an interest filled eyes as he walked towards a certain part of the town where a long line of people was forming.

Castellina, the Keeper of Fates, walked as she looked up into the sky. Her eyes narrowed for a few moments before her blindfolded eyes looked down, deep into the underground market.

"Castellina?" Helios asked with a bit of interest. For him, what Castellina does is always more peculiar than what Hecate does. After all, Castellina deals with fates.

"Red and white threads. Traces of black threads," Castellina answered, piquing the interest of both Helios and Hecate.

"So the angels and the demons have arrived, huh?" Helios smiled as he was getting bored for the past 24 hours.

"How many of them?" Hecate asked with a serious voice as he kept walking.

"Let's see… about 2 dozen angels," she said, looking up in the air, her eyes calculating all that with the presence of the fate threads in the sky. A special eyesight that only the rarest of rarest had.

"And 3 demons. They are weak… presumably scouts?" She spoke as she continued analyzing the threads while Hecate kept his eyes focused on the 'clinic' where they were heading to.

"Leave them be. This town isn't exactly something worth saving," the words came out of Helios' mouth. He had been observing the kind of people this town had, their nature and their lives. And after observing for over 20 hours, he reached one conclusion.

"Each and everyone of them is trash who would turn into a demon worshiper in the nick of heart. Rotten to the core," he added, as he was pretty much disgusted with the entirety of the town.

Hearing his words, Hecate suddenly smiled as he turned to Helios.

'What?"

"That is why I said you are going to find that place interesting."

Hearing Hecate's answer, Helios' interest piqued a little.

"It was never our concern what both of them do, anyway. Our mission is only Luciana and that other guy. If they don't appear, we simply leave," Castellina reminded them as they walked towards that clinic.

It was true. The higher gods never concerned themselves with what happened to Zarraf. Special circumstances brought them here. If not, they wouldn't visit this place for another millenia or so. That is how rare for them to appear down here is.

And since they were hiding their auras, nobody would know about their existence even if they saw their faces. That's because even angels don't know what the 5 higher gods look like. That's how rarely they show their faces.

The trio walked towards the clinic, ignoring the long line, while the others observed them. Some snickered, while others looked at the trio, hoping to see some form of drama.

"Is this the place?" Asked Helios with slight interest, but looking at those greedy humans in the line, he didn't really understand what was different here.

But it differed from Castellina, who found a familiar face among the people there. Her smile was apparent as she walked towards a certain individual sitting on the chair, looking at them with a narrowed look.

"Didn't think we would find a familiar face here," Castellina spoke as she looked at Equi, with a smile, while Equi answered, returning her smile with the same narrowed look,

"Been a while, Sister."
