Within the magical palace of the Ancient Fairies, the nine ancient fairies stood calm on their floating platforms as they dispassionately stared at Athena, Anna, and Thalia, except for the female-voiced ancient fairy standing on the pentagon-shaped platform. This fairy was the only ancient entity among the others with a noticeable expression, as one could tell due to the brightness of her already glowing white eyes. With her steadily retreating backward and staring at what Anna was holding, the female-voiced fairy spoke with a serious tone, different from her previous nonchalant attitude.
"It seems you have benefitted quite a lot from the page of our Ancient Book of Knowledge to be able to disrupt my ancient magic. I know you are not a Saint King or a Saint Ancestor, so I'm curious; How are you perfectly controlling our ancient magic when your Saint Kings and Saint Ancestors in your universe do not even fare close to our magic?"
Anna hovered next to Athena and Thalia as the glowing ancient magic character steadily floated in her left palm; she slowly descended as she spoke with an impassive countenance.
"Let's get one thing straight; I, Annastasia King, do not take questions from pebbles I deem insignificant, especially flies like you. Now, let's get things done, shall we?"
Anna spoke as she simultaneously closed her left palm, squashing the ancient magic character into green essence. Then, without even allowing the female-voiced fairy on the pentagon-shaped platform to recollect herself, Anna was in front of her as she sent a front kick directly into the face of the fairy with her right foot.
Boom! Rumble! Crack!
A loud booming sound rumbled as the void within the spacious hall instantly cracked and shattered, causing a huge wave of chaotic black and purple energy to invade the hall instantly. Anna's kick landed on the fairy's face as she was sent flying away from her pentagon-shaped platform and heavily crashing into the space-void barriers, with her even crashing directly into the gigantic walls of the magical palace. After a while, the scene became calm, but Thalia's voice broke the silence.
"Since there are nine of them, why don't we have three each? It's one way to stretch our fingers, and I can also show them what true magic is."

[Passive Skill: Magic Creation; As an Omnivastant being, you can conceptualize or create any form of energy with a thought]
With Thalia finishing her words, her system sounded, then an energy wisps the size of a fist materialized from thin air and hovered on her palm. The wisp had multiple different colors as it shone in Thalia's palms, with the bright multi-colored energy even reflecting in her eyes. Thalia stared at three among the remaining eight ancient fairies in the distance as she smirked; she wasn't there anymore.
Athena remained at her hovering spot as she watched Thalia start mercilessly attacking three of the ancient fairies, and like Anna, the ancient long-robed fairies Thalia attacked with a swing of her finger were also thrown from their respective platforms and were sent either crashing into the space-void or crashing into the walls within the palace.
"I haven't seen my man for a while now; let's finish this and quickly return to Him."
Athena silently mumbled as she slowly stretched her right hand, then her system sounded as a long white spear began self-creating into her hand.
[Item: Death Impending Spear; An Item created with the concepts of death and chaos by Goddess Athena - With a thought, the wielder can order Death to personally take the life of any living organism the spear is pointed at - With a slash, the spear can separate the lifeline of any organism from the Life Force of the Omniverse - Only Goddess Athena can wield it]
Athena elegantly held the intricately designed white spear as she gazed at the ancient fairies, who, for some unknown reason, remained calm and unbothered despite having witnessed their members getting attacked. Unlike Anna and Thalia, Athena didn't immediately attack; she instead watched the fight between Anna and the female fairy, who was still down. Athena then smiled with a scoff.
"Huh~"
Anna hovered where the female fairy was as she watched the shattered space barriers quickly mend. But then, the voice of the previous female fairy sounded from within the crumbles of the walls.
"I may not know where and how you got this power, but I'm convinced you didn't get this power from the page. And since we already have the page, you are no longer useful to our plan."
The voice of the female fairy came from within the shattered debris of the walls as an event followed simultaneously to her ending her sentence. Anna watched with a calm and unsurprised expression despite seeing what was happening. What was happening was the crumbles of the walls slowly reversing and attaching themselves to their original spots on the wall before the ancient fairy crashed into it. As the crumbled walls reattached themselves, they cleared the scene as the female-voiced ancient fairy got revealed.
Standing in their respective signature pose, hands beneath their gowns, the female-voiced fairy slowly began approaching Anna with a step, then another step; with every step, one could see the fabrics of space bending as if laying a heavy ball in the middle of a sponge mattress, causing the mattress to have a dent inside - this was the same for the space. After three steps, the fairy levitated as she steadily approached Anna in mid-air.
On the other side of the enormously spacious hall, Thalia hovered over the three ancient fairies she had just attacked with a wave of her hand, which sent them flying and crashing into the space barriers and walls of the palace. But just like Anna, Thalia watched as she witnessed the time-reversal of events, the damaged walls reversing in the exact manners they got destroyed, then the three attacked ancient fairies revealed as the crumbles reassembled themselves.
Like Anna, Thalia didn't have the slightest expression of surprise or doubt; her expression was still impassive. The three other ancient fairies from Thalia's side walked three steps as they levitated to their respective different-shaped platforms. Athena, Anna, and Thalia watched as the nine ancient fairy entities returned to their circling formation, which they had before them getting disturbed. Then, the fairy on the pentagon-shaped platform spoke nonchalantly.
"We have obtained the second page of the book, all that's left is the final page-
BOOM!
"Wake up!"
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed as the present scene immediately shattered; it was like shattering the glass of reality. The scene where the nine ancient fairies returned to their circle formation was no more. With the previous reality shattered, the current reality was a completely unexpected and unanticipated scene.
The fairy with the pentagon-shaped platform was lying on the ground with a half-shattered skull, and the person standing over her was non-other than Anna, who shouted, "Wake up." Anna stood over the half-dead body of the ancient fairy with a decapitated head in her left hand; she held the head through its mouth, gripping its lower jaw. There were stains of thick blue blood dripping from the head, indicating that Anna was using the severed head to continuously bash the head of the fairy laying down.
"Wha- What....is...going....on? How...did...this...hap...happen?"
The female fairy strugglingly spoke as she painstakingly tried to raise her head and spectate the surroundings with her half-smashed skull, from which she was trying to regenerate but couldn't. The female fairy slowly raised her head to observe as she was met with the most unbelievable, incomprehensible, and impossible-to-understand scene in her existence. Slowly turning to her left, the fairy was met with two of her fellow ancient fairies laying on the ground, one with a missing head and the other completely squashed into blood paste.
Seeing two of her strongest fairy race members lying in breathless conditions, the female fairy couldn't properly express what she was feeling. Shock, doubt, and absolute despair all ran across her mind as the current scene was too disgusting and gory to look at, causing her to blurt out a mouthful of blue blood. Then, as if trying to avoid looking on her left side, the fairy turned right and was met with an even more devastating scene.
Steadily turning to her right, the ancient fairy blurted out more blue blood, twice the amount of the first one. It was because of what she saw; far in the distance within the previously glorious hall of the ancient fairies, the lying ancient being witnessed the silver-haired Thalia mercilessly toying and beating the living force of three of the ancient fairy Saint Ancestors; and from the present conditions of the three Fairy Saint Ancestors, they weren't even capable of defending themselves despite utilizing their respective reality-warping ancient magics.
It didn't stop there; not far from where Thalia was, the fairy also saw Athena's side; she saw Athena hovering over three of the ancient fairies with a long white spear in her right hand, but the bodies of the fairies were in perfect conditions, implying that those three ancient fairy Saint Ancestors were instantly killed without them even having the privilege to express their powers. The more she looked, the more the ancient fairy realized how gruesome the scene was.
The platforms where the nine ancient fairies stood were all shattered into pieces, with the broken pieces scattered within the destroyed hall. Everything the female fairy saw was out of the ordinary; she couldn't immediately fathom what had just happened.
'I remember me getting kicked in the face, and I remember us obtaining the second page of the book of Ancient Knowledge, but how are we suddenly in such devastating conditions? I am convinced their attacks weren't worth paying attention to, so how- unless- unless- no, that can't be; could they be Heavenly Kings?'
The fairy internally monologed as she slowly began piecing the puzzles she thinks are correct together; as the fairy thought, she slowly stared at Anna, who was still standing over her while holding a severed head. Then, shockingly opening her mouth, the ancient fairy spoke.
"You..., you can use ancient reality magic? What are you!"
"Yes. We are Omnivastant Goddesses."
SQUASH!
But simultaneously to her asking her question, Anna answered, followed by her squashing the head of the female ancient fairy.
