Ishtar appeared beside Blake and Gemini, who did not know what to do. "Blake, Gemini, please relax. I will handle this. A trickster has decided to set her eyes on your daughter. Entrust your daughter to me and move to the side of the room."
Blake looked at Ishtar, who had a serious look on her face, and nodded. He did not know what was going on, but he felt Ishtar really would not harm his daughter for any reason. He pulled Gemini with him as the two moved to the side of the room. Not even a second later, after they moved, a golden barrier surrounded them and the room.
"Loki, you piece of shit, get out here! How dare you harm this child!" Ishtar was pissed her godly powers were rushing out of her, causing the whole room to start warping. "Loki, if you do not come out, I will make sure you never revive again!"
Still, no answer causing Ishtar's anger to grow even more. She took a step forward and then turned into a stream of golden light entering into the mana cocoon. As it passed through, it went straight into Destiny, who was still undergoing her evolution.
"You are not me!" Destiny screamed out. She was holding her arm as she stared at the other her. It hung to her side loosely. It was clear that it had been broken.
"Hehe! Hahaha! You just need to let me take over your body, and you will not need to deal with this pain!" The other her replied with a wide grin. It was not even close to a smile that Destiny had ever made. The one before her was definitely not her.
"No! I will not allow you to take over my body and take away my papa!" Destiny would rather destroy herself than have her papa taken away!
"Tch.... Listen, brat, I was trying to go easy on you, but since you refuse, then so be it. I guess I will just.... Hmmm?" The other her looked up into the darkness behind Destiny. Her brow furrowed as her eyes began to show a little panic.
"Loki, you bastard!" A roar filled the dark abyss causing Destiny to turn around to see a golden light suddenly shoot by her and appear in front of her. The golden light slowly took shape, and what stood in front of her was a golden clad Ishtar. "Auntie!"
Ishtar turned and looked at Destiny and smiled warmly. "Don't worry. I will protect you." Her eyes looked down at Destiny's broken arm, causing her anger to reach its peak. She waved her hand and surrounded Destiny's transparent body with a barrier that had healing properties before turning back to look at the other her.
"Loki.... You made a fatal mistake today." Ishtar's eyes glowed with a golden light.
"Ishtar! What are you doing here...?" Loki looked a little nervous. She did not like dealing with Ishtar. Ishtar never played by the rules set to keep gods from starting a war in the Astral Domain.
"What am I doing here? Heh.... Since you wish to enter this child who is under my protection, then why don't you stay and become her power!" Ishtar's power burst out of her and enveloped Loki, who began to panic and quickly retreated. She tried to separate herself from Destiny's body but found that a barrier had been erected, which was trapping her in!
"Ishtar! You know the rules! If you break them..." Loki tried to reason with Ishtar, but the power emanating from her body was rapidly growing.
"Loki, do you know why the other gods never say anything when I do as I, please!? Did you forget that while I am the goddess of love, I am also.... The goddess of War!" A pillar of light shot down from the dark abyss above, slamming down toward Loki, who quickly moved to get out of the way.
"Ishtar! Let's talk about this!" Loki was in full panic mode. There was no way she would ever forget this! "I did not harm the child's soul! She is fine. Just a bit of healing, and she can redo her evol.... Wait! What the hell are you doing!? What are these runes!?"
Golden runes began to appear around Loki, surrounding her from all sides. "I am taking half your power. I will not kill you, but that does not mean you can leave without compensation. You dared to harm the man I love's daughter. I will ask you to become her power!"
"You can't do this, Ishtar! No matter what, you can not do this! You can not create a god! It has been banned for a reason!" Loki was using all her strength to try to tear open the barrier that was blocking her from escaping. She was afraid. She was afraid of her powers being stripped.
"Heh... Who cares? You need to pay the price, and I am going to take what you owe here and now!" Ishtar clenched her fist, and the runes that were surrounding Loki activated. Loki let out an agonizing scream as a golden light began to pour out of her body and form a small golden ball in the air. After it grew to the size of a baseball, Ishtar cut off the runes and held out her hand. The golden ball floated over to Ishtar and landed in her hand.
"Ishtar, you bitch! Give it back!" Loki's brow was filled with sweat, and her transformation into Destiny was broken, revealing a young woman wearing a white dress. She looked very pale and looked as if she was about to fall over as she reached out with her trembling hand toward the golden ball.
"Humph! Begone!" With a snort and a wave of her hand, Loki suddenly felt her body being lifted into the air, and a golden square formed behind her. Before she could even say a word, she was thrown through it to only Ishtar knows where....
