INSIDE HELENA'S ROOM
*SWISH* *SWISH*
"The princess has been sitting still in that weird position for almost an hour now, I wonder what she's doing this time."
Nora thought in her mind while sweeping the floor. Ever since she started working for the princess, she has experienced many strange things. She remembers the event that happened the day before.
"I still can't wrap my head around how the princess vanished right in front of my eyes. I searched for her for hours and later found her lying on her bed asleep. And I am pretty sure the bed was empty. Or the one time when the princess stepped on broken glass without getting injured or that onetime when–when she kept staring at my breast. For some reason, I felt a strange chill from her stares."
Shivers traveled through Nora's body as she thought of it. But even with all the strange events that keep happening, she would not change the princess she served for any other princess.
Once Nora was done sweeping, she walked in front of the princess, who was still in her strange meditation pose, and bowed her head before saying.
"Your Highness, I am done with my work for the day. I don't know when you would be done, so I'll be taking my leave. Good night princess."
*CREAK*
*BANG* *DOOR CLOSES*
—----------------------------------------
INSIDE HELENA'S UNIVERSE.
"It's been two days since I executed Alpha's plan to mask our presence from that one. Since it hasn't noticed my presence after two days, it means the plan worked.
Now I can focus on observing the changes in my universe..."
Helena traveled through her universe in her spirit form observing every significant change in her universe. She notices something different about it. She felt that the universe was older than it was.
"How did the universe grow so fast? Two days ago, it was just like a newborn, but now..."
Helena closed her eyes as a flood of memories appeared in her mind. She could see what happened in her universe in the last two days. These memories did not feel foreign, instead felt like she had experienced them herself.
Immediately, she knew that this was just one of her undiscovered abilities as the God of her universe.
"I cannot believe that the time ratio between my universe and the real world was that large. Every hour in the real world is a hundred years in my universe. And in just forty-eight hours, four thousand eight hundred years passed."
Helena noticed that even with all that time that passed, the changes in the universe were not major changes that could interest her. Except, for that one galaxy.
While the universe memories entered her mind, she noticed that a part of the universe was different, and that unique part was the galaxy experimented with.
Helena teleported directly to the galaxy with just a thought.
"WOAH!!... is so bright. I guess this is what the sun looks like up close. But something doesn't feel right."
Helena said as she moved closer to the burning red, scorching sun. But, even after literally touching it, she felt nothing. It was like the heat from the sun evaded her.
"I guess even the sun can't hurt a God, huh."
But as Helena glanced around the galaxy, she noticed that there was more than one sun in the galaxy. They were like giant fireballs that lit up the entire entrance of the galaxy, but she noticed that deeper into the galaxy, there was nothing to be seen.
"Why isn't any solar system forming yet? Is it because the suns are too close to each other? which prevents them from forming one?"
Helena questioned with a serious expression. She thought the solar system would form naturally, just like the sun, but her thoughts seem to be wrong.
"Since I have an idea what the solar system looks like, I can just form it myself instead of waiting for it to form naturally..."
Helena stares at the sun before saying.
<MOVE APART>
The sun moved towards the distance Helena imagined before she gave the command. Now they had spread throughout the galaxy.
"Whew... I don't feel exhausted after that. It means I still have enough Universal QI to do this."
Helena gathered all the dust and gas in the galaxy with her Universal QI. And shaped them into different planets. After she was done, she sent nine planets each to orbit the different suns. Imitating the solar system, she was familiar with.
"Huff... Huff... that was exhausting. But I feel stronger than before, and I think now increasing the time flow by five hundred years would be less exhausting.
Helena said while flying towards one of the planets. She was curious as to what the planets looked like from the inside.
—------------------
INSIDE OF PLANET N0.1
"Well, that's disappointing."
After arriving on the planet, Helena noticed how unhabitable the planet was. It was filled with volcanos, and it covered the land with lava. She knew that to make the planet habitable; it needed her intervention.
"Guess this is why God needed seven days to create the earth. Ahh... the responsibility of being a creator."
As Helena was about to start her work, she felt someone walk into her QI field in the real world. She reads the intruder's mana with her QI and knew that it was a man.
"It seems I have an uninvited guest in my room."
Helena could tell the intruders were men, through their flow of mana. After observing the people of the Loppesia world, she noticed that the mana in men flowed differently from women. As mana gathers in a man's body, the heart serves as a container, storing the mana it absorbs and once the mana in the heart crosses a certain level, it begins to flow into the mana veins, which are spread throughout a man's body. This is when a man can be recognized as a one-star knight.
While in a woman's body, it's different. When mana is absorbed by a woman, it gathers in the heart/container, but the mana never flows out, even after crossing the threshold. Because they do not possess mana veins. Which results in mana overload if the female is born with a high amount of mana.
But, the magic tower has resolved this problem with their Magitech.
"Hmm... how did these men get in without triggering the castle alarm?"
Helena thought of the situation suspiciously because she knows how strong the castle's magic defensive formation was. It was not something that could be broken without anyone noticing. So how did these two intruders get in?
"Since thinking about it won't help. Why don't I ask them myself?"
Helena spoke with a grin.

INSIDE HELENA'S ROOM
"Hey, are you sure we are in the right room?"
One of the men dressed in black asked the other as they sneaked into Helena's bedroom.
"Shush. shut the hell up. If we get caught because of your loudmouth, I'll skin you alive. You got that?"
He whispered as he pointed a knife at his partner. He turns back, and they continued to tiptoe into the room.
"Yea–yea, I got it... but how would you skin me alive when we get caught? I am pretty sure the knights would take your dagger, so how would you skin me?"
He turns back towards his partner with his brows frowned. And slapped his partner on the head before saying.
"It doesn't matter how I'll do it, but I promise you if you say one more word, I might skin you before we even get caught. Now shut up and help me look for the target."
They continued searching for their target in the dark room with their mana vision. As the leader glanced around, he found a bed.
"Hey, number 772, prepare the potion. We are going to be using it."
He said as he walks up to the bed and noticed a small human shape bump under the covers.
"Heh. Don't blame me, little princess. I am just doing what am paid to do. Hey, 772, is the potion ready?"
He asked while still staring at the bed.
"..."
After not receiving any reply from 772, he turns around and sees 772 sitting on the floor and he seems to still be preparing the potion.
He walks up behind 772 and stretches his hand forward to touch him before saying.
"Hey, didn't hear what I said..."
*THUD*
As he touched 772 on the back, his head falls off.
"Arraaaaaaghhhh..."
He yelled with terror on his face, staggered backward, and falls to the floor. He glances around quickly in fear.
"Hey, what are you looking for?"
The leader hears a soft feminine voice behind him. Though the voice sounded like that of a little girl, he wasn't going to take any chances. He grasps his dagger, turns around quickly, and slashes.
*CLANG! *
His hands bled from the recoil of hitting something hard, causing him to drop his dagger. He held his bleeding hand, trying to reduce the pain as his mana healed his injury.
"WOOSH"
Suddenly a figure appeared in front of the leader's face and grabs him by his injured hand.
"Arrgh..."
He yelled in pain from the powerful grip of this monster of a person.
"Wow... I didn't know the humans in this world could use mana to heal their injuries like this. Does it also heal more serious injuries?"
The leader could hear the excited and fascinated tone of this unknown monster, though now the monster seemed to behave like a child who just learned something new from school. He turns his gaze towards this unknown person to see what sort of being it was and what he saw shocked him to his core.
