Gods
Beings that are well-known in all worlds without exception.They are worshiped as creators and protectors. Sometimes they are feared because of their cruelty and selfishness, but almost everywhere they are known as the strongest in existence.
Among higher races, gods are known as the craziest race.
Why? Because it's true.
Gods are the most powerful and immortal beings. There are only a few that can stand against them. They will do what they want with whom they want, and there is no one that can stop them.
A perfect example is the Greek pantheon. There were less than five Greek gods that didn't rape anyone or weren't victims of rape.
Other pantheons weren't that different either. Loki, brother of Odin, fucked a horse so he could win the bet. Goddes Isis fucked the corpse of her own death brother until she got pregnant.
The longer one lives, the crazier he gets.This proverb perfectly describes the race known as the gods.
Stories like this make Orion subconsciously have a very low respect for this race. It's not like he unconditionally believed them, but when you hear and read about a certain subject for a long time, it will subconsciously form a clear image in your head about it even without you noticing.
Orion was now standing in front of three beigns, whose mere presence made him slightly nervous. Not that much as he expected to be when he learned from the guardian that the gods were watching.
In pure white space, there were 12 thrones in V formation. But only three gods were seated in front of him in the thrones at the head of the formation.
A divine aura around them made them look majestic. A serious look at their gorgeous looking faces would make any human go on his knees.
He exhaled to calm himself and put his right hand on his chest while he hid his left hand behind his back and deeply bowed in a sign of respect.
Before he could say something, the smallest one from three with pink hair started yelling at Orion.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? Spying on the elf queen?! Did your brain rot from that poison?! "
All seriousness that this situation had ever had vanished.
Duncan was trying to hold his laughter while Dalia was gazing at Orion.
Orion slightly looked at the goddess that was screaming at him and remembered a certain Tsundere character from an anime he watched and understood one thing.
'Yup, let's ignore this loli'
"This unworthy mortal greet, Dalia-sama goddes of fate and Duncan-sama god of battle," Orion said, completely ignoring the existence of Cerys.
He slightly smiled, satisfied with his performance. He wanted to lift his head when he noticed that something was preventing him from doing so.
Ho looked before him, noticing a couple of feet in front of him. He realized that what was preventing him from lifting his head was the goddess that appeared before him, touching his head with her warm, soft hand...
'Wow, so this is how it feels when God is touching you..It feels so peaceful ? '
"This will hurt a bit.." Dalia saind with a gentle voice.
"huh?"Before Orion could even react, he felt immense pain in his brain.
It was a similar feeling when his brain was pierced by the spear.
He closed his eyes, trying to block out the pain, when images from his past flashed before his eyes.
The image of a black-haired boy hugging the corpses of three people while screaming.
An image of the same boy laying on the ground while a fairly young woman is kicking him.
The image of a boy floating in dark space, muttering obsessively about the dates of events.
The last one was an image of a blond-haired girl that was hugging a purple-haired boy who looked like Orion but a bit older the moment before their bodies were swaloved in flames.
"Wait, where did that memory came from?'
Pov. Dalia
I lifted my hand from the head of the boy in front of me.
The boy looked at me with eyes full of confusion and wariness.
"You.. looked into my memories?" he asked.
" Yes, are you mad?" i asked him teasingly
The boy sighed and simply smiled, as if the expression on his face before was a lie.
"No, did you have fun watching Oh almighty Goddes?" Orion asked me in an extravagant way.
The moment this boy entered the dungeon. All I could think of was him. He was unique. too unique for human. At first, I assumed it was simply because Feye's blood runs particularly deep in him.That's what I thought until the second trial.
It was clear that he is the one that we were waiting for.
He showed that he has knowledge he isn't supposed to have, and even though he acts in a childish and playful manner, his speech is not that of a 15-year-old.
And now I know why.
Without even knowing it he have same goal as us..
"You don't need to be so formal," I said, and with the gustere of my hand, creating a seat for him to sit on,
Orion smiled widely and sat while observing me and Duncan, ignoring Cerys.
He then extended his hand to me and said,
"I don't really know what you want from me or why you looked into my memories." But I know one thing. I cleared the dungeon. So hand over my raward. "
The Cerys that was listening quietly listening to our conversation burst out with anger and came to Dalia's side.
"How dare you talk to my sister like that?! You should consider just being able to see her as rewaed".
She is at it again..
I patted the head of my cute little sister, which calmed her down.
"Cerys, please leave it this time to me. We will decite together at the end."
"Just because it's your request.." Cerys said in cute voice acting, spoiled
Then I shifted my gaze to Orion, who was holding his laughter when he noticed a sudden change in Cery's attitude.
"Orion, what do you think is the reward for clearing this dungeon?"
Orion was titling his head as if he didn't understand why I was asking something so obvious.
" Heart of Celestial, an item that can change my race to a low-class angel and cure my ilness," he said.
"Pftt Onee-sama, this human is dumb. Why would he think that? " Cerys mocked Orion (onee-sama is an extremely formal phrase in Japanese that means "elder sister" and is mostly used in anime or manga).
"Cerys, what did I tell you!"
"I'm sorry, onee-sama." Cerys instantly lowered her head and apologized.
I shifted my gaze again at Orion, who looked like he was about to kill Cerys.
Sigh
These kids..
"Orion, if that was really true, what would you do after this?
Without hesitation, Orion answered as if santa was asking him if he was good boy this year..
"Ruin the lives of some people, save a few, destroy the natural order in which should this world progres and have a lot of fun while doing so." Orion with proud expression on his face as if he was expecting praise
'So its really him..like father told us...'
I gently smiled and looked deep into Orion's purple eyes.
He really look a lot like her..
'I should tell him the truth'
"Orion, the heart you are looking for does indeed exist, but it won't help you with that curse."
