New law of Beast Taming

Amane had a weird feeling that she should not try and open her eyes. Her heart gave a painful thud when she tried to open her eyes. She was suddenly afraid of what she would find if she tried to wake up.

[The more you pretend not to notice, the harder it will be for you to accept reality. Acknowledging that you are back in the upper heavens would be better. Otherwise, you will make someone sad and regretful.]

It had been centuries since Amane had last heard that powerful voice whispering to her, but its effect on her was still the same.

It made her skin crawl, and her disgust was evident on her face. Amane wanted to tear the owner of this voice alive, but The Law’s energy bound her hands.

Amane finally opened her eyes, only to see an unfamiliar child standing before her. But this child possessed a very familiar set of eyes and energy.

Krata’s familiar face was walking behind The Law, which signified who this entity was.

"What do you want from me? Do you want to kill me?"

It was a stupid question to ask. Amane had a clear idea of what The Law wanted from her. It had been the same thing it wanted from her back when she had been a god - her body.

[Kill you? You know what I want from you, Amane. Do not pretend to be dumb because it does not suit you. Instead, you should be glad that you are getting rid of this dumb body. It lacks the necessary parts to let you possess your authentic power."

Amane bit her lip before saying something stupid to The Law.

All the taboos became meaningless if The Law broke them. It was the only entity allowed to rewrite the laws and rules of their reality.

"You will only be making trouble for yourself if you make me your vessel. You already have a great vessel and are trying to tame me, as your vessel would take too long. You do not have to try and do that."

Amane warned The Law in front of her. But The Law looked unbothered by Amane’s threat. It flexed its hand to distract Amane from her thoughts.

[Whatever you are worried about will not happen, Amane. If you compromise with me, I will not hard Yoko Tsurugi’s spirit and natural body]

Amane stiffened as soon as she heard that threat. She knew that The Law and her slight reaction had caught her, giving her real intention away.

It would have been better for Amane had she not come to care for anyone. It would have saved her much heartache. But Amane had come to like the identity of Yoko Tsurugi.

She had lived as a female and felt grateful to her. She did not want to see anything happen to the female who offered her body for Amane to be revived.

"Yoko Tsurugi is a human. Per your law, we are gods and cannot mingle with them. Are you going to go back on your promise and harm her?"

Amane tried to guilt The Law into changing its decision. She needed Yoko Tsurugi to be sent back home. There was no reason for this fragile human to suffer with Amane.

[Can a person who has housed a god’s soul be called a ’human’? Yoko Tsurugi lost her protection the second your soul touched her body. Now, choose what you want to do before I lose my patience.]

Amane knew that she had no chance of succeeding herself. That was why she needed to wait for Kori to come for her.

’Kori must have informed the resistance, and they will come to save me. I will make them save Yoko at the very least.’

[Hmm, what are you thinking about? Are you trying to buy time for your precious resistance to come and help you out? It may not be possible. I have already destroyed the opposition.]

Panic surged through Amane’s body once she heard these words. She felt as if her final ray of hope had been dashed. But Amane refused to give up.

She knew that she had to buy some time. The resistance was partially gone since Kori was still alive. There was hope for her still.

[The ceremony for the vessel will be conducted tomorrow. We will proceed when the sun is at its peak, and the world shall see the birth of a new leader.]

The Law sounded happy. Amane looked at the blank look in Krata’s eyes and felt regretful. She had been the one who pushed him toward this.

[I shall take my leave now. My dear vessel, if there is anything you want to tell your sister, now is the time. You will be discarded tomorrow, so make the best of it.]

Krata did not respond, but he did stay back with Amane. Amane felt as if Krata wanted to tell her something.

But he claimed his mouth shut every time he opened it to say something. It was tough for Krata to say what he wanted to.

"They want us to hold the election in the next two days? Does The HIVE think we are morons who do not have anything better to do with our time? The election takes time and money to prepare for."

Shigo slammed her hands on the table when she got this news. She hated how she was being rushed around like this. It felt as if nothing was going right for her recently.

These elections were her lifeline and her source of power. She would lose a lot if she lost now.

But the public opinion was divided, and it would not be wrong to say that more people favored her opposition.

And it made sense as well. Stella was a household name and synonymous with protection and safety. She had a clean reputation as well as a high moral compass.

"I know you are worried, Precedent Shigo, but our opponent has already agreed. Our government is too unstable to wait any longer for the elections. Stella’s departure caused a big rift in our organization-"

"I do not want excuses. Why was everyone so reliant on one person? Did no one think what would happen if she ever retired?"

Shigo asked while throwing a vase at her secretary. The poor secretary was stuck to his seat with a haunted expression. He did not know how to quell his lady’s temper.

"Of course, we did not know what would happen if Stella broke apart from us. She looked happy in the government, and we never thought she would leave. We should have taken better care of her."

It was too late to regret what happened. Shigo cursed under her breath but knew she could not afford to lose.

There was only one reason she was stubbornly clutching to her position - the god’s machine at the inner government levels. That machine made Shigo powerful and gave her powers.

She did not want to lose the control she had over people.

’To think a former goddess like me had to be reincarnated into a human. I would have been abandoned without that machine and its ability to connect to the heavens.

Shigo had been a former goddess who had been killed and then reborn. Thankfully, she got her memories back and found the doorway to heaven. Now, she needed to protect it at any cost.

"My lady, this is your last speech, which will be held today. You need to prepare for it."

Shigo’s secretary shook in his boots when he handed her the script. Shigo quickly went over it and sighed. It was the standard stuff that she always spoke about.

"We cannot afford to miss this victory. Let’s show this country that we are the only leaders they have and the only ones they need. We will not allow them to trample over us."

Shigo promised, but then she felt a scary wave of energy wash over her being. It was coming from the gate, and it made Shigo scared.

"My lady, what is wrong? You tensed up suddenly. Are you feeling alright?"

Shigo’s secretary asked with a concerned look on his face. He tried to touch Shigo’s pout and pulled herself back.

’This energy! It’s The Law. It’s planning something horrible, and I do not know what. But I know I must stay far away if I want to live.’

"It is nothing. I just felt cold, and I shivered as a result. It is nothing you need to be worried about. Just focus on what is happening with the people."

Shigo commented, and the day turned too soon. People looked restless to vote, but the teal problem nationwide came from the beasts.

They had all lost control and were trampling over innocent people. Many of the beasts has lost their mind and started rampaging.

The elections should have been the last thing on anyone’s mind, but Shigo would not let this opportunity pass by.

The opposite side did not even have their presidential candidate, which gave Shigo much confidence.

’This is the last day. It is the last time I will ever stand on this board. I need to crush my opponent and ensure that they never try and challenge me.’

"My dear citizens, I welcome you to these elections. Before we start anything, I want to remind you that the opposition doesn’t care for you. They did not even send their candidate to meet you all."

Shigo thought this was an insult, but the opposition had been waiting for her to say this.
