Great Ones are high-level beings completely detached from humanity.
Although to Mortals, their languages mostly consist of meaningless shrieks and angry roars, the most professional hunters understand that this is, in fact, a form of protection for Mortals.
No matter how weak Great Ones are, most possess wisdom beyond human comprehension. If they were to articulate using true 'language,' the immense wisdom contained within would instantly drive humanity's frail minds into madness.
This is why Yharnam scholars always keep sedatives on hand, and the Choir has also developed a way to communicate with gods through gestures, precisely to prevent the power embedded in the Great Ones' language from affecting humanity's weak minds.
However, for Goki, he not only did not fear gods but also hunted them. His mind was tenacious and resolute; no matter how sanity-draining an Old God was, he could face it with ease.
Nevertheless, after falling into the illusion of the Universe's starry sky and seeing the small, seemingly twelve or thirteen-year-old girl behind him, about the same age as Ifrit, with an evil smile, his will couldn't help but waver.
"...Star God?"
She had long, grayish-white hair, and her skin emitted an unhealthy greenish-gray glow. Her figure was extremely slender, and she wore only a translucent black fluffy dress.
And beneath the long dress, countless long tentacles, which Goki was intimately familiar with and had just cut through many of, extended from within.
Clearly, this couldn't be an ordinary person. Goki didn't even need to rely on his hunter's instincts to discern her identity—the Star God.
As for the reason... it was very simple.
"Why do you look like Abigail—you can't enter my mind. Where did you get this image from?"
My little wife!.jpg
Looking at the little loli in front of him, who had clearly entered her Spirit Origin Reincarnation state, Goki almost thought he had Transmigrated to the neighboring Type-Moon world again.
The power of the Blood Moon Queen flowed around him. Even as just a consciousness, the holy sword in Goki's hand remained exceptionally radiant, pointing directly at the little girl.
Seeing the long sword in Goki's hand, the "little girl" merely showed a faint smile, and her crimson eyes emitted brilliant starlight.
"Hmm... Moon, your will is as bright as a flame; of course, I cannot pry into your thoughts. But I have at least wounded you, consumed your blood, and thus gained this knowledge. So I chose a relatively harmless way to meet you—how is it, are you satisfied? You humans seem to like this kind?"
The little girl spun around in place, slowly lifting her skirt towards Goki, raising the black hem.
"I'm sorry, I like them big. I'm not interested in little kids."
Goki's face stiffened, and he looked at the god with some helplessness, slowly lowering the holy sword in his hand.
He did like them big—Skadi was quite good, and Yan and Cast Iron were simply perfect. As for Sussurro and Myrtle, even if they were legal, they were still a bit lacking.
But what did it matter? They were still Goki's wives! Big or small, rich or poor, all were suitable!
He sensed that the "little girl" in front of him, who radiated the same power as the Star God, was harmless, rational, and benevolent.
Goki felt no tension talking to a god. The gods of Yharnam didn't like to talk, but the gods of Terra were all chatterboxes. The God of Burning Wind constantly made threats, the God of Yellow Sand was a Great Big Sister whom Goki yearned for, and now the Star God was a little loli... that was also normal.
Gods, after all, could look however they wanted—it wouldn't be strange if they turned into beautiful maidens.
And likewise, Goki had guessed her purpose.
"I have pierced your core with my sword. The concept of deicide will soon kill you—do you want to tell me your last words, or do you want to leave me something?"
Goki was certain that the weakened god was nearing collapse. Her death might be a slow process, but she would certainly die.
"Or do you have a trump card, or did you go easy on me?"
Upon hearing Goki's words, a relieved smile appeared on the Star God's cute little face.
"No, that was my full power. You have successfully hunted the Lord of Stars and Sky. What I am now is merely a dying flash and an echo—however, this is not merely something to commend you for. You also haven't shown your full power, have you?"
Her figure began to blur. The Star God lowered her skirt and smiled, leaning closer to Goki.
"Outsider, hunter from another world... Among all the gods, only I am so curious about what lies beyond the world and can guess your identity—Ocean, Flame. It seems you've already dealt with quite a few old geezers? If that fool, the Lord of the Burning Wind, had died earlier, everyone would have been... However, Ocean is with you, and I believe you know her threat."
Seemingly clearly aware of Goki's identity, the Star God twitched her small nose, lightly sniffing the divine power emanating from Goki, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah, the world above, the true Universe—I once thought we were truly in a prison, swallowed by endless despair. If you had descended earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have fallen into irreversible madness."
The Star God looked up at the starry sky simulated based on her own consciousness, a faint regret in her eyes. She spread her arms, and the tentacles beneath her also spread.
