Chereads / World First Paladin / Chapter 14 - Heaven?

Chapter 14 - Heaven?

"Ugh…"

I opened my eyes slowly… I immediately noticed that the entire scenery had changed, I wasn't in the barren land anymore. Yet in a big empty space…

'What happens to me?'

That was the first thing that I asked myself… as the only thing I could remember was I was nearly getting squashed by the demon hammer.

After that, I can't remember anything at all.

Does that mean I get killed by- I shrug off that thought almost instantly, as I can't believe I get killed that easily and even if I did die with that attack.

I should be in heaven or something as I did sacrifice myself there… So where the heck am I right now? As this shouldn't be heaven… There's nothing here at all.

.

Out of nowhere, there's a soft female voice telling me what to do.

I quickly look around but see nothing at all… making me wonder if someone is saying that thing just now or it was just my imagination.

"Come forth…"

There's that voice again, surely it was not my imagination.

Does it say to come forth? In which direction… This place seems to have no end at all. As it's just a big space.

"Come forth-"

Well, this voice won't disappear until I do what it says, it's rather annoying so let's just go in any direction in that case.

I stood up and began to walk forward until- A bright light appeared, it was so bright that I had to close my eyes for a moment.

"You can open your eyes now, I have waited for you…" A female voice says that towards me.

I was still unsure whether to open it or not but my curiosity overwhelmed me as I wanted to know who's that person that is currently talking to me.

The moment I opened my eyes… I saw a fair-skinned lady. It was really gorgeous and all white. Making me think that she was an angel for a second there.

"Who are you?" I couldn't help but ask her that question.

"You might not know me but I'm what humanity calls Enous." The fair-skinned lady said that.

"Enous? I think I had heard that-"

I stop as I can't believe that in front of me, was the God Enous. It's hard for me to even believe that this all was even real at all.

Yet there's something that has been bugging my mind ever since the lady says that she's Enous. As I believe that God had a very calm personality and could answer every question that you had… I then asked her about something.

"Are you Enous? But isn't God Enous supposed to be a male God?" I said that.

The fair-skinned lady simply smiled at me as she said, "I'm indeed Enous but humanity seems to have represented me in a wrong way… but that's fine as long as they're following my teachings correctly."

"So should I call you God or Goddess then?"

"Enous is fine but if you wanted to use a title when addressing me, I prefer Goddess rather than a God as that sounds a bit feminine right?" Goddess Enous said that.

"Yes, it does sound a bit feminine but isn't Enous a male name? So calling you goddess might not have much of a difference if you ask me…" I said that without thinking at all.

"Well, that's kinda rude you know… I'm still a Goddess so-"

Realizing that I had offended a deity, I quickly kneel and beg for her forgiveness. As I am aware that she holds the power to destroy me in an instant if she wishes it so. Because the one that stands in front of me was a Goddess after all.

"I didn't mean to offend you at all, Goddess Enous, I'm just-"

"No need to kneel like that, I'm not mad but just a little bit surprised that the first human that ever met questions my name like that… but for now you could stand up."

I was relieved that I didn't get a heavenly punishment or something like that. Well, the Goddess does have that merciful personality on them…

As I was thinking about what the Goddess had said before, I realized something… "Wait! I'm the first human you ever met?" I said that.

"Yes, you are. Why? Is that a problem…"

"Of course not but I thought that Goddesses like yourself have met humans before, as it isn't part of your job to oversee people whether they're going to heaven or not?"

"To be honest with you, it's not my job as that was an angel duty and I can't reveal myself to humanity at all..."

That kinda makes sense there… as there's no way a deity would be doing all that stuff alone. Surely they had some helper to sort that kind of a matter.

"Okay, but why would you meet me then? As what you said earlier doesn't match the situation that is happening right now…" I said that.

"It's because you are an irregular and that's why I need to see you for myself."

Irregular? What does she mean by that… Am I not human- No it can't be as the Goddess itself called me a human.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Let's just say that you can't die no matter what as your soul wouldn't be accepted to enter the heaven of this world…"

Just like I thought, I was already dead but it's still shocking to learn that I couldn't die at all.

"So that means I am immortal?"

"Part of it… your body isn't immortal as it could get destroyed but what's permanent is your soul. As no matter what happens… it was the only thing that would remain in this world and couldn't pass on at all."

Knowing that I was aware that my body surely had been crushed by that giant hammer as that was the cause of my death after all.

"Are you saying that I would become a ghost or a spirit then?"
