I passed through a similar Passage way I came through when I was reincarnated by Aqua…
I thought I would most likely meet Eris only but when I walked through the Other End of the Passage…
The thing I saw was a Huge Coliseum which was Circular in shape like a Typical Roman Coliseum but rather than Earthen color Tiles it was completely made of White Marble with Blue Faith filled balls jumping here and there…
I also saw some small elemental Balls which could be fairies strolling around as the Center of the Coliseum was decorated and a Large number of Goddesses were sitting around on several White Tables…
"Welcome Outsider!!!"
"Welcome Outsider!!!"
"Welcome Outsider!!!"
I was surprised at this as I saw so many Goddesses Greeting me as I could see many Goddesses here at SSS-Ranks and some 30 plus were at Continental-Early and 3 Goddesses were at Continental-Middle stage…
They were the Top Powers of this World…
And yet…
I thought for a Moment as everything seemed to Click in…
The Green Light from Eris…
It may not be just her alone but these Goddesses have been looking at me…
This made me understand that probably all my Actions and Even the Prison City was being observed by them…
Of course it's impossible for them to stare at what's inside but they should have some information at least and considering what I am doi---…
I shook my head as I came out of my reverie and Looked at the Goddesses as I gave them a Polite Bow…
I would never lose my manners just because I became stronger…
At least against reasonable and able individuals, I would definitely be softer…
Since they are Good Goddesses…
If you compare them with the Gods of The Moon World…
Then this is the Real Heaven…
I bowed my Head as when I raised it I said in the most sincere tone…
(Tanya: Oh Dear God!!! Let Me Cut you into Pieces and feed you to the pigs…
Aezeroth: No!!! They are Good Ones…
Tanya: Grrrrrr!!!!)
"Greeting Goddesses," I said, a wave of genuine warmth overriding my usual caution... "I am happy to see you all..."
It was a staggering display...
Their presence here, in such a large assembly, meant they had been observing me for quite some time...
This knowledge—that I was a known commodity—presented opportunities, even if it meant striking difficult bargains...
The Goddess at the center, radiating a soft Golden Light and framed by White Wings and a matching White Halo, smiled...
"Greetings," she said gently...
I was about to speak further when she continued…
"Please, take your seat...
We have made a place for you..."
I was led to an approximately 10-meter-long table...
The central figure, the Goddess of Light, sat at one end...
She wore a long, beautiful White Robe that fell gracefully to her knees...
Unlike the scandalous attire many authors imagined, her dress was modest, yet it perfectly showcased her sublime curves...
Beside her, the other goddesses waited...
The time for formal introduction had arrived...
1... Goddess Alethia: The Light of Sovereignty
"I suppose introductions are in order," the central Goddess began, her voice like chimes...
"I am the Goddess of Light and the Current Leader of Heaven... Alethia..."
She bowed elegantly, offering a kind smile...
I nodded, satisfied...
This was the archetype I expected: a radiant, holy goddess—a pleasant change from the corrupted, massacre-starting World Bosses or "toys" so common in other stories...
2... Goddess Bellatrix: The Fury of Conflict
Next, a sharp, challenging energy filled the air...
"I am Bellatrix!!! Goddess of War!!!"
She announced her name with a maniacal grin, her long, fiery Red Hair contrasting with the practical agility of her armor and Golden Robe...
She was precisely the straightforward, belligerent Goddess of War I had envisioned, though she was missing the stereotypical giant sword...
No matter; this formal setting wouldn't involve weapons anyway... (Definitely not for the sake of the CGs, I mentally justified...)
3... Goddess Astrea: The Scale of Judgment
A firm, measured voice followed...
"I am Astrea, the Goddess of Justice...
I have a great deal to discuss with you, Young Man..."
I nodded, knowing she was referring to the messy business concerning the Prison City...
Her beauty was superb, framed by a blindfold that denoted impartiality...
Her white robe bore the distinct design of a Golden Scale...
Her Golden Halo and matching Golden Wings spoke of the necessary growth and structure required for true law...
4... Goddess Esmae: The Woven Thread of Love
The fourth introduction made my heart twitch...
"I am Esmae, the Goddess of Love...
You are quite the naughty person, Mister..."
Her smile was mischievous, her hair a striking Pink...
Clad in a White Robe adorned with a Pink Circlet and a delicate pink bow—the very picture of a Love Goddess, save for her intense, knowing gaze...
She immediately reminded me of the Social Terror Demon God, Elysia, and that made me deeply uncomfortable...
I could feel her eyes reading my appreciative gaze as I slightly ogled her—a purely instinctual, respectful appreciation, Of course...
My ears burned...
Damn it, she saw that...
I fought the impulse to scratch my head sheepishly and answered shamelessly, using the compliment I'd perfected...
"If there is any fault, it lies only with your resplendent beauty," I said, meeting her gaze...
"To find myself in the audience of so many remarkable women is a staggering honor, and for my first time in such a grand assembly, it's clear the beautiful flowers only serve as contrast to your light..."
A wave of laughter rippled across the table...
Esmae and a few others laughed openly, nodding in secret acknowledgment of the sincerity woven into the flattery...
"Oh my!!! You glib-tongued boy!!!" Esmae replied sweetly, waving a hand playfully...
I simply nodded...
My praise was completely real; they were goddesses, and they would certainly know it...
5... Goddess Terra: The Matron of Life
The next goddess broke the tension with a warm aura... "I am Terra, the Goddess of Harvest and Fertility..."
She bowed elegantly...
Her Green Hair, Green Robe, and Grass Circlet exuded a profound motherly atmosphere...
I looked at her blessed self, then—with tremendous effort—forcefully tore my gaze from her generous motherly assets... (Definitely motherly, I noted, with professional detachment...)
Her smile widened, acknowledging my momentary struggle, but I simply scratched my head sheepishly...
Her Green Halo and Green Wings matched Astrea's, symbolizing life and abundance...
6... Goddess Iridia: The Beacon of Hope
"I am Iridia, the Goddess of Hope... A pleasure to meet you..."
Her name struck me as surprisingly similar to Iris's...
With honey-colored hair, she wore a Golden Robe and a small circlet...
Her wings and soft White Halo were identical to Alethia's...
I nodded and prepared for the next one...
7... Goddess Lyra: The Observer of Fate
"I am Lyra, the Goddess of Stars... Nice to meet you, Oh Outsider..."
Her greeting immediately showed she knew my true nature...
Her hair was a striking, dark Black, yet it strangely gave off a White Light, shimmering like stars in the dark night...
Her curiosity was palpable, making me raise an eyebrow...
She wore a Black Dress dotted with luminous star patterns...
I gave her a respectful nod, acknowledging that my status was already known...
8... Goddess Vesta: The Keeper of Seals
"I am Vesta, the Goddess of Protection, Oh Outsider," she said, nodding...
She wore another White Goddess Robe with a circlet, but her clothes were uniquely embroidered with intricate Sealing Circles and Runes...
I gasped internally...
Could truly complicated formations exist in this world? If so, it would halve a lot of my future work...
9... Goddess Zephyrus: The Wild Wind
"I am Zephyrus, the Goddess of Wind... Nice to meet you, Outsider..."
She wore a billowing Green Robe that gave her a windy, agile feeling...
I nodded (mentally registering her impressive proportions) and quickly moved on, catching Esmae snickering...
"Damn this Elysia (Esmae)," I muttered, turning my face away...
I knew I should have brought Elysia Repellent...
10... Goddess Evanthe: The Eternal Bloom
"I am Evanthe, the Goddess of Flowers...
How are you, Mortal?"
She was clad in a flowing, flowery robe with multiple colors, looking as if she were wearing the blossoms themselves...
I greeted her in return...
As I looked at her form for a mere 0.1 seconds, Esmae's laughter erupted again...
My mouth twitched in mock grievance...
"My bad, my bad," Esmae said, waving her hands in denial...
11... Goddess Thalia: The Muse of Creation
"I am Thalia, the Goddess of Art..."
I nodded...
Her brown hair was offset by a Golden Robe and a small, distinct instrument—a small harp, yet different...
A custom piece of equipment, perhaps...
Her Gold Halo and Gold Wings completed the look, radiating creative power...
Though a Goddess of Art huh…
Definitely the Eden Type Feeling…
I wonder if I ever entered Honkai World then I would definitely let her clash with Eden…
That would be Fun Honestly…
I thought as I nodded as the 12th Goddess to Introduce Herself was actually Eris…
12… Goddess Eris: The Goddess of Fortune…
"Greetings…
I am the Goddess of Fortune Eris…"Said Eris as she smiled and bowed elegantly as I smiled as I knew this was the Eris I knew…
I also sent her many Artifacts as we played as Thieves for a while just like Kazuma though I was able to End the Multiverse very easily…
Cough…
I mean stealing the Artifacts…
She also had a White Purple Robe as I secretly used Analysis and found that Aqua's Rumors were completely wrong as Eris was at Least C…
"Cough… Cough…" I calmly tore my gaze away as this time Eris Blushed being a young Goddess while Esmae coughed like an Elysia as I couldn't say anything since I truly saw her too much…
"Young Man that was a Bit too much You know…"said Esmae as even I knew she was right so I honestly answered…
"Eris is actually a Goddess from the World I entered and Honestly she was the only one with a bit of intelligence as the Goddess I was first acquainted with was Aqua and she had rather disturbing Rumors about Eris as I was verifying a particular one…
Please Forgive me Goddess Eris as I just had to verify it but I didn't see anything and only verified an Approximate number I could calculate…"I said as I bowed to Eris and explained my reason…
This made Eris Blush further…
But the Introductions continued as the Goddesses there were at least 100 along with some Lesser Angels who's Intros weren't necessary as it took a while…
After the Introductions were done, the Goddess of Light Finally started…
"Now then Mr. What should we call you…"She said as I nodded and introduced myself…
