Chapter 42 - Tina's Frustration

But what really surprised her is the fact that these children have yet to receive the blessing of Falna, and the same goes for almost everyone in the valentine clan territory.

She only spotted a few that had received blessings, and that number hadn't even exceed ten people.

This realization shock her momentarily, for a moment, she couldn't comprehend the situation she found herself into.

But after some contemplation remembering that the young girl before her is a higher existence than the primordial gods and goddesses she quickly regained her bearing and calmed down.

She instead finds the situation normal now that she thoroughly thought of the situation.

"So, what do you really need me for? Guiding your little brother is one thing, but surely that isn't the only reason why you're going to invite me~"

"Just as expected from a goddess of wisdom, as sharp as always, only a bit dumb sometimes and in some ways."

*PFFT*

Emma listening to their conversation from the side drinking a coffee prepared by Tina accidentally let out a cute laughter, after hearing Tina call her goddess a dumb goddess of wisdom.

--- A dumb goddess of wisdom, that's probably the most hilarious thing I ever heard in my entire life.

--- Just who is this woman, my goddess didn't seem to have a chance against her.

She had been meaning to ask about the strangeness of the place after seeing kids younger than her perform feats even level 2 and above would have a hard time, but decided to remain mouth shut.

The young woman before her was said to be the young boy's big sister, that young boy who performed magic that could easily decimate thousands without chanting.

She didn't exude a divine force, but she has a bearing of a goddess and a distinct ancientness aura of one, that even overshadowed her goddess greatly.

This is only natural because Tina is literally Starlight's clone, second body, fragment or whatnot, she possessed all of Starlight's memories and authorities, the only difference now is that she isn't an ego of reality but an ego of a treasure spirit.

Starlight previously is more than hundreds of trillions of years old maybe quadrillions.

So in terms of ancientness Tina overshadowed every single ancient entity in this reality, even the reality itself is no exception.

Brigid is only 450,000,000 years old plus comparing her to Tina, she is like a newborn baby.

Presently, Tina's power is greatly suppressed, but that doesn't mean she couldn't go against a god because power isn't everything.

She could suppress gods and other energy-based entities by just using higher tier energies of her own.

So, there isn't really a fight to begin with, everything will be nothing but a farce in her presence.

But despite that, the reason Tina did not try to do everything on her own is due to her role as Kanzen's support.

She couldn't really interfere that much, the only reason she could do it now is because, Kanzen had fallen into a critical state which prompted her to act.

For what value is there in effortlessly acquiring everything? Doing so wouldn't be good for her little brother, if she did everything her purpose in existence might turn into a joke, where in turned she might disappear completely.

Seeing her only Familia member laughing at her cost, Goddess Brigid couldn't help swearing to teach her little Familia member a lesson, an action that contradicted her nature.

Goddess Brigid didn't voice out her intentions, but Emma seems to get a wind of it as she stopped laughing, a cold sweat trickle down her back, she instinctively made a step back distancing herself from her gently smiling goddess.

"I'll excuse myself~"

Emma gave a polite bow before promptly turning around, quickly leaving the two to their devices.

"Oh ho, when did the goddess of protection and wisdom become a bully!"

Tina teasingly remark, reading through both Emma and Brigid's thoughts.

"I don't know what you were implying?"

Goddess Brigid replied, playing dumb, her gaze wandering around the pond, ignoring Tina's scrutinizing gaze.

"That girl of yours has a sharp instinct, she's worth guiding."

Tina find little Emma interesting, she deduced that she's just as talented as Monica.

Goddess Brigid raised her eyebrows, in contemplation, but after a short while she nodded, her last Familia member undeniably is talented, she could tell that much.

Previously, she's worried that she'll hold back little Emma's growth but after encountering Tina and the valentine clan people, she felt relief, she hopes Emma could grow and live a happy and fruitful life.

Tina suddenly stood up from her chair, her eyes turning completely gray for a second, scaring Goddess Brigid for a second, before the cup in her hand exploded into bits and pieces.

"How did things escalate this far ahead?"

She slumped back in her chair, an angry yet tired look on her face, she bit her tongue as she began contemplating her future actions.

Goddess Brigid still pressured and terrified due to Tina's outburst confusedly look at the young girl before her.

She found Tina's aura and behavior suddenly shifting out of nowhere, so she resolutely asked in a low tone afraid to offend the infuriated Tina.

"Did something happened?"

Tina shifted her gaze back to the asking goddess, making the latter sweat in nervousness.

"My little brother just became a real man."

She replied in a frustrated and tired tone of voice.

Goddess Brigid's eyes widen in shocked.

"Huh…! Isn't he too young for that?

She stood up from her chair, anger, concern, and a bit of jealousy apparent in her expression.

--- Someone is ahead of me!

"Hey, you know that I can read your thoughts."

Tina squinted her eyes.

Goddess Brigid couldn't help but behave like a proper lady after seeing Tina giving her stern look, eyebrows raise.

"Haha, haha, what are you saying, I am just concerned about your little brother, aren't am I supposed to guide him, surely I will be concerned if something that drastic happen to him."

She began making excuses, Tina still giving her a stern look her eyebrows raised.

"Shut your crap old hag, you don't learn do you, should I punish you?"

"I'm sorry!"

Goddess Brigid jolted from her seat, quickly kowtowing low in front of Tina.

Seeing the supposed goddess behaving shamelessly, Tina couldn't help thinking twice whether her choice is good for Kanzen or not.

Goddess Brigid, peek through, looking up, seeing Tina not having any drastic reaction to her action, she calmed down and slowly stood up from her shameful display.

"Yeah, I am just jealous ok, happy now, that I'm being honest~"

"That's more like it."

"So, what exactly happened?"

"*Sigh* it's no one's fault, everything that had happened was due to an accident."

Goddess Brigid raise her eyebrows hearing Tina's words.

"A sleepwalking fox accidentally awoken up the slumbering ancient dragon, the ancient dragon unconsciously releases a strong essence which in turn, hype up a pitiful maid.

The said maid that fallen victim to her feelings ended up taking things too far, she even granted the ancient dragon the pass to her sacred ground, which the dragon happily obliged.

"That's the summary of the story, did you get it."

"Surely, I did~"
