"Okay, don't stand around there, go set up the cutlery and the table," Theo said.
"Okay!" Little Yui and Little Emma were the first to respond.
When the cake was served, each took a slice and ate with relish. It was very tasty. After all, it was made with the best ingredients and there was the fact that Theo already had some experience in making cakes.
"Delicious, it's very delicious, dad," Little Yui said with a slightly dirty mouth that was quickly cleaned by Mizuki.
"Yes, it's the best cake in the whole world!" Little Emma's outburst was more exaggerated.
Theo smiled. "Is that so? Glad you liked it."
Sparks came out of Little Yui's eyes as she looked at Little Emma and said, "Dad's cake is the tastiest cake in the universe!"
"I think it's the tastiest of all galaxies!" Little Emma said with a smug smile.
"Okay, okay, I understand you guys liked it, and I'm happy about it, but you don't have to fight about it," Theo said.
"...I'm sorry, Yui," Little Emma said.
"Sorry to Yui too." Little Yui also apologized.
After that, the table became harmonious again.

"Is everyone ready?" Theo asked.
"I was born ready," Ariana smiled.
"I'm serious," Theo sighed.
"Me too," Ariana pouted.
"Yes, we are ready." The girls nodded.
Around Theo were Ariana, Shina, Zaira, Zaira, Yuki, Little Yui, Little Emma, ??Yuki, and Mizuki, all ready to go through the Celestial Tribulation and go to the Monarch Realm. Of course, Theo had to back away, or else he could invoke the Heavenly Divine Tribulation.
They were now on an uninhabitable island. There would be no problem even if everything was destroyed. When Luan teleported away far enough not to affect the Celestial Tribulation, everything began to form.
The first to call the Tribulation was Little Emma, who was closest to going through the Celestial Tribulation. Soon it was like a trigger; all the girls activated their Celestial Tribulations, and nine anomalies started to form at the same time.
The sky turned dark. Thunder was seen passing through the dark clouds. Loud sounds echoed. Roars of beasts even more frightening than a dragon also echoed. The skies grew more and more turbulent, and the thunder was so powerful that the whole world trembled. It was, after all, the Celestial Tribulations of nine people at the same time and each for the Monarch Realm.
"That's pretty scary," Shina said.
"Afraid?" Ariana smiled.
"If I didn't believe in Theo, yes, I would be terrified," Shina admitted.
"Well, I would be myself. But knowing Theo is around, I fear nothing" Ariana said.
The other girls didn't speak, but they thought the same.
"That is..." A monster started coming out of the dark clouds.
"This thing is very unique," Mizuki muttered. What was coming out was a gigantic head that appeared to be made of wood and was on fire.
Soon the whole body started to come out. It was huge and on fire, but it didn't seem to burn the tree or the green leaves. The hands were huge and looked like two gigantic hills.
Descending with the intention of punching towards them, this monster of the burning tree began to fall like a comet.
* Whoosh!*
Theo appeared in front of the girls.
"Prepare yourselves. I will share my energy with you," Theo said.
"Okay!" They responded seriously.
In Theo's eyes, this monster that moved at the speed of a comet was so slow it almost made him yawn. Theo didn't even try to attack. He used <Devour> directly. His body was filled with earth and fire energy. Nine pillars of light appeared and headed towards the girls.

[Golden Crow – Up to Level 4]
An involuntary smile curved Theo's lips. It was nice to know that the Golden Crow bloodline had leveled up. The girls also benefited a lot, especially in the earth and fire elements.
Theo pulled away again when he saw that the next one was about to form. As soon as it started to come out, a green head and four horns, sharp teeth and frightening eyes, the body was surrounded by lightning, and they all could feel that it was using wind. The body was clad in green scaled armor. Was it a mixture of dragon and crab? Well, the claws were crab-like, and the legs like that of a dinosaur. It was a pretty weird monster.
*ROAR!*
Arrogantly, the monster roared and began to descend. When it was a few meters away, Theo appeared and used: <Devour>. The monster tried to dodge, but could it compete with Theo?
Theo's tail grew longer and longer and swallowed the monster.
"Mm..."
This one sure was more powerful, not that it was something Theo couldn't handle.
"Prepare yourselves," Theo warned again.
Distributing the lightning and wind energy around them, when he saw they couldn't take it anymore, he stopped.

The girls steadied themselves, and Theo walked away again.
'As expected, Celestial Tribulations are the best.' Theo smiled.
A few minutes later, the next one began to form. A fish head? Yes, something like a fish with some lizard mixed in started to come out. It was even bigger than the others and apparently used water and poison.
'Well, I'm immune to poison, but the girls...' This time he wouldn't be able to fully deflect the impact. At least the energy from the water was no problem.
Flipping its long tail that was capable of creating gusts of wind and destroying mountains, the lizard fish began to descend from the sky and spat out a spray of poisonous water. Theo appeared and intercepted the attack using <Devour> and already took advantage of the moment and sent it back towards this big fish lizard.
Theo once again distributed his energy with the girls, however, only the divine water.

'Haha. Very good!" Theo's eyes sparkled as he saw that his venom had turned into something divine.
