Cosmic Authority Fusion.

An ability I've done a couple of times if not all times when I unleash my Authorities for battle.

Ailine and Rimuru, however, had barely a day to get used to their new Cosmic Powers, yet they already were able to merge them together.

I guess that's mother and daughter for you, amazing!

SPLAAASH!

The gigantic Whale they summoned, the embodiment of their fused authorities and also the combination of ten divine color spirits of great power, engulfed Surtr while being pressured from the front and behind by Gaby, Aarae, and Valentia, and Poseidon and Sapphirine. The result?

Well, it was quite obvious.

BOOOMMM!!!

Unable to fight off all the water and frost, his entire body exploded into pieces, and whatever was inside, two figures, emerged, landing on the sea beneath.

SPLASH! SPLASH!

The unconscious body of a giant, burly, red-skinned titan and a small person composed of red jewels started floating over the water, looking like they were already dead.

Well, I could faintly sense their life, so they weren't dead! Just almost, or in the process of.

And about the other Chimera Vampiric Beasts?"

I glanced from afar and was surprised.

"Oh! Already done too, well done everyone!"

The thousands of beasts that had ambushed us were all utterly slain, their massive bodies torn apart across several kilometers, my big family is literally an army now.

"S-So many monsters dead?" wondered Gerda. "By Ymir, are they your allies, Kireina?"

"Yeah they're mostly my family," I said. "Then a few allies."

"I-I see..." she muttered in disbelief. "Hah... I guess I should thank you. I'm sorry for acting a bit weird before. If it wasn't for your help, it wouldn't had been possible for us to survive at all. Freyja and I... are looking for Freyr, do you know him?"

"Never seen him, but I know who he is," I nodded. "Your husband and Freyja's brother, right?"

"Yeah," she sighed, looking at the dark sky and the strange moons. "This place's not Genesis, definitely. Where did you said we landed on?"

"Abyss," I said. "A different world than Genesis, one primarily governed by Vampires."

"V-Vampires got their own whole world? Hahaha!" laughed Gerda. "Weren't they the children of that old hag of Agatheina? What?! How come they got their own world now?" "Old hag?" I asked angrily. "She's my wife, and she's a very energetic, youthful, and wonderful woman, Gerda... Don't say that ever again."

"E-Eh?!" she stepped back in horror. "O-Okay... my bad? I had no idea Agatheina was into women."

"Well she is now!" I sighed, facepalming. "You sure have little to no manners! But well... Hah, I'm nobody to say that I guess. Anyways, let's wake up Freyja first."

I looked at Freyja and quickly splashed the cold water left behind by the ocean domain on her face several times until...

"Cough, cough! Agh! What kind of asshole is splashing water on my damn face?!"

She woke up angrily, barking at me and glaring at me with indignation in her face, she was furious.

"Sorry about that, for being a goddess of dreams and nightmares you sure love sleeping a lot- Wait, I guess that's on theme with you?"

"Huh? YOU?!"

Suddenly, she spread out her wings and flew away into the skies, rapidly trying to expand an Aura and a Domain to fight me!

"Gerda! What are you doing! That's Kireina! She's dangerous! Don't get close to her! Come to my side, we have to deal with her!"

"C-Calm down Freyja! She saved our lives!"

"What?! There's no way that- Ugh!"

As Freyja continued bickering, she covered her head, groaning in pain.

Another headache I guess.

"Freyja! Stop it!"

Gerda flew to her side and calmed her down.

"S-She saved us?! There's no way that could ever happen!" Freyja kept insisting.

"Ugh, look, a lot happened. We went to save Freyr by trying to get inside the Spiritual Plane where Odin went to and then we met that Surtr dude, who was insane," sighed Gerda. "Then... while fighting him, a light... ugh, and then we're here?"

"Yeah... I have a lot of missing memories too," said Freyja. "Or more like... blurry? Blurry memories. When I try to recall them I get a headache. Which is weird, as a goddess I shouldn't suffer such things!"

"Well Freyja, maybe if you stop thinking you're immune to everything you'll begin to understand that the universe is wide and there's a fuckton of monsters out there," sighed Gerda. "I mean, I had no idea other worlds and planes existed a bit ago. But look at us now! We're not even in the Spiritual Plane! We landed somewhere else entirely different!"

"A-And why is that my problem?!" Freyja cried. "It's not my fault either!"

"I'm not saying it's your fault, but it is OUR problem," Gerda said. "Kireina saved our lives. I literally just saw SURTR being a giant monster and attacking everyone, so what they said is

true."

"But that brute was always a monster that attacked everyone..." Freyja muttered, sighing. "I... Ugh."

She groaned in disgust when she glanced at me!

Seriously, am I that ugly?

"Freyja, you're free to go on your own I guess," I shrugged. "But you'll probably get enslaved by some Vampire again. Like you two were a bit ago."

"Enslaved?!" Freyja gasped. "Wait, is that why I feel so weird? Like someone violated my mind..."

"Maybe it has to do with that, yeah," I nodded. "Some powerful Vampire has a very strong Vampiric Path, something that allows him to control Beasts. You two turned into Beasts through your monstrous transformation, allowing him to control you, unfortunately." "T-That's... not possible! I..." Freyja kept trying to deny reality. "I... Hahh... I'm so tired..." She almost fell from the skies if it wasn't because Gerda caught her in time. "Ugh... I feel so weak, Gerda..."

"I can tell! Why is my sister-in-law so stupidly stubborn? You're just like Freyr always said!"

"Freyr..."

As Freyja groaned, Gerda walked to my side.

"I think she's fine physically, but must be hungry, you two need to eat some food," I said.

"I'll give you some meals while we move forward."

Like that, our journey across the wastelands of Abyss continued.
