章 3: Beauty of Goddess
"I can't answer now, dear goddess. Since childhood, I was educated to always keep my promises and that became one of the principles that I maintain until now. Although I don't know if I have a chance to defeat the Demon Lord with the gods, this deal means much more to me and they accept me as one of them."
The Goddess heard and looked at him tenderly. He has lived for hundreds of years and sees a variety of diverse human traits and personalities. Among them, Xavier belongs to one of the personalities she likes and is very rarely retained by the gods. As a creature of the highest caste, she appreciates his decisions. But...
"What an elegant principle, human. Unfortunately, I can't continue to accept the rejection of previous generations. At least you can help me search to persuade the humans in this world to defeat the Demon Lord. I believe that tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of human population in this world definitely be to store and hide abilities and wonders that even exceed gods."
"Even if it is true, I can't help you, beautiful Goddess. Maybe I didn't get selected as one of those who got that chance. There are times when you will succeed in persuading people like them even if it takes more than a thousand years." Xavier ended the conversation and began to place himself further and further away from the Goddess.
The Goddess gritted her teeth. She had heard the statement so much that he could not suppress her anger. With a quick glance, a bad idea began to be uttered through her charming mouth, "If you refuse my orders, then let me destroy everything you protect and you must not defy and reject my wishes."
The former soldier raised his head very quickly, both eyes glaring to the point of almost letting go. "Excuse me, didn't I hear it wrong?"
"Do I need to repeat it, stubborn man?" The Goddess's gaze was very cunning as if she made the villagers hostages.
"If that's what you want, then let me kill one of the Goddesses for the first time." Xavier took out his dagger with a very sturdy standby attitude. Although it sounds brazen, the beautiful and holy Goddess in front of him is so outrageous that it threatens the lives of dozens of humans to persuade him. "Nobody told me if the Gods could also do such a sad thing as our people."
In the next second, the Goddess laughed rather gracefully while swinging her arms. "Haha, I'm not as heinous as the Demon Lord, human. I'm just kidding to persuade you to be willing to help us. That's it."
Hearing that her statement had no element of lying, Xavier again inserted his sword and returned to sit down. "Don't say anything threatening. Even if you don't answer my question for more than five seconds, maybe bloodshed will happen."
"You're serious about yourself as an ex-soldier, huh? Well, if the gentle and threatening means don't produce a good ending, then let me settle here temporarily."
"You can't. This place is not built specifically for me. You'll meet a different person once every 8 hours and it will cause a commotion if one of them doesn't believe the arrival of the Goddess."
"Don't worry. There is no human being who does not know if the Gods have already set foot on the earth for more than five hundred years. Unless they pretend to be deaf when they hear the news."
"I see. Well, you can use this place if you want. I'll leave here in a moment. Lest you make a fuss, O goddess." Xavier packed his belongings, including a flower basket that was still empty.
"Hey, where are you going? Aren't you in charge of protecting your beloved village?" the Goddess' gaze seemed lonely.
"I did do it, but I can't stay here until sunrise. It seems that you are the kind of goddess who likes to seduce anyone for personal satisfaction."
"It's not a personal matter, it's a matter of the Gods!" The Goddess shouted loudly.
Xavier was silent for a moment and then continued. "I didn't find any difference between the two. Never mind, don't stop me anymore or I'm forced to drive you out of this forest."
Slam!
The door slammed rather roughly when Xavier wouldn't have a further fight with a Goddess who came in the middle of nowhere. It's been a long time since he did such a fight and the last time before Xavier decided to quit the army or about 3 years ago. He has quite a hard time controlling his emotions when talking to the opposite sex. In his mind, they were always looking for a way to corner him even an innocent man.
A long breath was exhaled through his nose slowly, then he walked quite slowly while continuing his duties as a village guard. Meanwhile, the Goddess, who was left in a worn-out hut, looked empty and lonely like there was no life in both eyes.
It has been more than 500 years since he and the gods were passed down by the Demon Lord. Despite the incident being a very long time, she still remembers how they killed the gods of the lower caste and threw their heads and bodies as evidence of the cruelty of the Demon Lord. Even both parents were almost killed when they gave up their lives to buy time and save the gods who were already unable to continue fighting.
She also recalled how some of the dwellings of the gods were burned to the point of leaving suffocating ashes. The Goddess was very lucky to still get the opportunity when her friends had left her first. Until this moment she couldn't hold back her tears when she remembered the incident. Therefore he had run out of time when no man was willing to help him whereas she did not know about the news of his fellow Gods who had the same purpose.
The Demon Lord too quickly gained the power that could conquer the gods and during these 500 years, the Gods also did not find where the power was obtained until it became a question for the gods themselves.
After the various humans she faced, now the Goddess found one of the candidates who could help the gods, at least gathering humans who had the same thoughts.
"I, Cytherea, Goddess of Beauty, will do everything to persuade that human named Xavier. I will make sure this opportunity succeeds!"
