New law of Beast Taming

The goddess fell asleep in front of Amane and Kori. Her face looked serene and peaceful, almost angelic.

"She fell asleep. Amane, what does sleeping feel like? All the higher creatures on this earth sleep to replenish their energies. But we are different. We do not need to sleep, eat, or look around for means to survive."

"Why are we so different from the others that live on this earth?"

Kori asked this question. Until now, Amane had never wondered why she differed from humans and other creatures. She had just accepted that this was the way things needed to be.

But these questions made her wonder if something was missing inside her. She was curious about things, but she never questioned them. Should she change this habit of hers?

*Thud*

Amane looked at the side door and made a noise before it opened, and a person in a white coat walked inside the room.

This female looked unkept, and her hair was moving everywhere. She had also not showered in days, and her odor made Kori cringe and step back.

But the human did not seem to care. She glanced at Amane and Kori before moving toward the goddess behind them.

She held a needle and scalp in her hand and approached the goddess.

"Hortencia, are you ready for today's gathering? I will be taking your samples now."

There has yet to be a response from Hortencia. But the snake-like deity did wake up and looked at the human fondly. Amane noticed how Hortencia's eyes were lost in the past.

The scientist carefully extracted the god's body fluid and scratched away at her scale until it fell off.

It was sacrilegious for a goddess to sit back and watch this happen. Especially when the person doing this to her was not even her follower or someone important.

"I should burn this human off. How dare they try to be this disrespectful to a god in front of us? Do they have a death wish?"

The display of rudeness triggered Kori. She hated injustice, and this was one of the highest degrees.

She was about to unleash her power when Amane noticed the goddess and her calm expression.

The goddess had consented to this torture and even looked content to give away what she could for the human.@@novelbin@@

"Thank you for your patronage, Hortencia. I will make sure your samples are put to good use."

The female scientist looked at ease as she walked away. Just as she opened the door, she turned around and finally noticed the two new additions in the room.

"Oh! You are new faces here. I am sorry if I ignored you before. I have a one-track mind most of the time. My name is Anya. You can come into my lab if you want to."

Anya was polite when she talked to Amane and Kori. Her eyes even softened when she looked at Kori.

Red eyes observed Anya, but she held her ground. Amane observed Anya, but she did not feel like an evil human. So, Amane decided to throw her a bone for now.

"My name is Amane, and this is Kori. We were both sent down here today. Is it still nice to meet us?"

Amane asked with a curious voice. She wanted to know what response she would get from Anya.

Would the human be surprised? Stumped? Angry? Scared? What kind of emotion would this human show her?

"Ah, so you are a criminal? I would have never guessed that based on your aura. It is so clean and sparkly, making me feel refreshed."

Anya sounded sincere. Amane had not noticed her eyes until now, but once she did, she could not look away.

A white sheen covered Anya's eyes, making her unable to see. No optic nerve connected to her eyes, and Anya was blind.

But despite this shortcoming, she was doing her best to move around. She had no evil and disgust in her aura. She was an honest and hard-working child.

Maybe that was why Kori could not hold her anger for long. She looked like a deflated balloon once Kori had her door open.

"Criminal or not, you both feel like you are here to stay for long. Moreover, you look friendly, so that I will invite you both to my lab. You should be fine if you do not touch anything in here."

Amane felt a spar of curiosity for human nature for the first time. She wanted to know more about this person and what made them tick.

Were all humans this interesting? Or is this a particular case?

The room they were led inside was also one Amane had never seen before. There were many flasks and equipment that she had never used before.

"This is my lab. I analyses the samples I collect and find uses for them. Like this body fluid, I collected from Hortencia. It has a high concentration of healing agent."

"If I know the synthesis of this material and artificially make it, then it would help many people."

Anya sounded excited and nervous at the same time. She realized she was rambling and spoke more than she needed to.

But she could not help herself. This was the first time someone had listened to her this attentively.

Criminals or not, these people had given Anya the time of their day when no one else had done so. And for that, she was grateful. These people were unlike the selfish higher-ups of the divine guild who threw her here for research. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

'Do not think about those selfish bastards. It would only make you feel worse.'

"Everyone must be proud of you. I have never seen a human this dedicated to their craft before."

For Amane to say these words was a big deal. She seldom praised others, and this was a human at that.

Gods had a weird way of seeing the world. Their eyes were better than ordinary people's, and it was easy for them to see the details that most people missed.

However, Anya had told her something Amane did not know about. This was a big deal for her and had earned Amane's respect.

"I did not do anything special. Any scientist could have told you the same thing if they had studied a subject for as long as I had. What about you? Do you want to learn from me?"

Just as Anya finished speaking, the detention center shook. The quake caused many pieces of equipment to fall and break.

"Keep your head down. This is an earthquake, and we are underground. If the ceiling collapses, then we will be buried alive."

Loud noises were heard around the room. Flasks and other materials broke as soon as they touched the ground. But one thing was for sure - this was not a typical earthquake.

"Make your way toward the door. I think I know what is causing this earthquake."

'Nowhere to run…you have nowhere to run from me. How dare you try and get close to her…

Ominous noises made their way toward Amane, and they burdened her head. They sounded jealous and hurt at the same time.

There could only be one person who had such power.

"Hortencia, you need to calm down. I am not trying to take her away from you. Anya is safe and not my type."

Amane yelled back as she entered the main chamber first. She looked up at the gigantic goddess, but it had no effect.

Hortencia pretended not to hear Amane and continued to pour her power out. Her chains rattled and started to break.

At this rate, she would end up causing a rampage and killing someone. Amane needed to prevent that from happening.

"Hortencia, calm down. What is wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to be free? I can help you out, but you need to calm down."

Anya chose the wrong time to come out. Hortencia noticed her, and she wanted to stop her powers from leaking out. But she had no control over her body.

Hortencia had become weak from all the experimentation, and her aura and powers had also lost control.

"Amane, what should we do? Should we get ready to fight?"

Kori asked while flexing her hand. She also positioned herself before Amane and was ready to defend her.

"We need to stop Hortencia, but not kill her. If you can stop her, I will bring Anya out of danger. Then, we can work on calming Hortencia."

Amane planned, and Kori nodded.

The next time Hortencia's powers threatened to break out, Kori absorbed them. The younger goddess was still inexperienced, so Kori had difficulty keeping these powers in check.

But she managed to do so, and Amane used her chains to pull Anya back.

Her chains also prevented Anya from getting hit by the debris. That enraged Hortencia, and she focused her attacks on Amane.

But Kori broke energy before it could reach Amane.

"You are pissing me off. If you want to pick on someone, then pick on me. I can handle someone like you with ease."

Kori taunted, and her actions attracted Hortencia's attention. It gave Amane enough time to pull Anya back and use her chains to bind Hortencia.

Once Hortencia was bound, Kori wasted no time in absorbing her access energy. But when she tried to pull her hand back. She was not able to.

She had no control over her body or her powers.

"A-Amane, help me out. I don't know what I should do-"

Amane rested her palm on Kori's face, and her powers calmed Kori down. She was finally able to pull her hand back.
