"...heek... for livestreaming..."

...What now?
"But really, what now?"
"Just like I said, it's for streaming!"
"I understand what you're saying, but why is it for streaming?"
"Again, it's for the preparation."
"And I'm asking what the preparation is for!"
"Again and again, it's for the streaming!"
"And what is for? Didn't you understand?!"
"Again and again and again, it's for the preparation! You mortal, you're the one who doesn't understand!"
"You!!! I will-"
"Stop, enough with you two."
Before I could do anything, and probably before the goddess could too—since I saw her holding a strand of light imbued with soul mana in her hand—Makina put a stop to us with a single command, ending our intentions of what we were about to do.
°Loid, calm down, and be silent for a while. I will ask the goddess about the matter.°
As Makina took charge, I followed her instructions and went silent, attentively listening to the conversation that was about to unfold between the two.
°First, let me ask you, esteemed goddess, what are you gods trying to prepare for?°
•As expected of you, Makina. You know how to treat me with the proper respect. For such reverence, when I gain enough power, I will bless you, make you my attendant, and grant you the position of the first apostle and the title of the saint•
°It is an honor. Now, back to the topic at hand.°
•Ah, yes, Hmm(Clearing throat) Ahem, About that, we gods foresaw that evacuating from your world would cause significant problems if we suddenly arrived there. The inhabitants of your home world would surely be troubled and panic.•
It surely is, as to them, To the people on Earth, the arrival of the gods would be comparable to, or even greater than, the apocalypse, Armageddon, Rupture, etc. and all mentioned similar event, despite of their differences they all convey one thing:
"Of course, the end of the world. That's to be expected. Forget about just causing trouble; it would incite a panic that would shake everyone to their core and lead to an unprecedented outrage in history."
"Loid."
"Yes, please continue what you two were talking about. I'm just here, mimicking the wind as a practice to exercise my power. Feel free to think I'm not here; any moment now, I'll be turning into wind."
With Makina's reprimand, I spat out an excuse on the spot and started mimicking the wind while listening to their conversation. Unless there was something to refute, I would be silent as I had been told.
Makina glanced at me for a moment to see if I was following what I was being told to and if indeed doing what I said and then she turned back to the goddess to continue their earlier discussion.
°Then, if I understand correctly, the livestreaming is for that purpose?°
•Yes, the gods and deities gather their power and wisdom to address this distress. Most suggest that we provide a worldwide revelation to the inhabitants of your world.•
...???
Doubting what I just heard, I rub my ears as if to clear any blockage that might be disrupting my hearing and causing me to misunderstand. I perk up my ears to listen closely, trying to clearly understand what the goddess meant by what she said.
°When you say revelation, do you mean?°
•Sending a voice message across the thoughts of all your world's inhabitants and letting them know about our arrival.•
"How the fuc ing insane of right mind you gods to come up of that shit you thought off as to solution with the problem."
°Loid!°
"I mean, Makina, come on, did you hear what I just heard?"
Are these gods trying to sow more chaos?, I can't help but to ask as they are trying to do the opposite of the result they hoping for making me doubt if their intention is really to calm the people of our world or bring discord to them.
As a vivid fan of Vine, memes, and pranks, I know very well that these gods trying to do are akin to the wishful prank of a prankster if given a chance to prank the whole world by sending their thoughts across the thoughts of people of the whole world.
And F.Y.I., to let you know, the best sentence to broadcast to the thoughts of the people in the whole world that I like the most is this top three, You choose the right religion, one individual has escaped the matrix, and Player (name) has beat the simulation.
"Hehe, old days...Hmm(Collecting himself), You get what I mean, Right?, Makina"
°I know what you mean but it can't be help as-°
•No, no, in this thing, this mortal is right, it really stupid if you think it about, because of that I say what I thought of this and say that solution is not gonna work and only be causing more trouble to the people back to your world•
"See, even the goddess thought so and sided with me"
•Yes, I really thought so, to tell you the truth, I'm able to reflect on some of my past actions in the past of how I conducted and did things, we Gods should be more considerate of our actions considering they affect the whole world including yours too•
Well, I didn't expect that this goddess could reflect, I should also be more considerate of how to act to this brat after thi-
•Well, that's what I thought after I read your mortal memories, even though most of them are filthy and pathetic memories, there are indeed some insights to learn from, especially about your failure and foolishness-•
([Bang])(Gunshot)
•-ekkkk!!!!•
°Loid!, Cease your action°
"Tsk, Miss"
In the palm of my hand, a gun is formed and aimed at the goddess that earlier shot into, as I'm about to shoot another shot, Makina stops me, only leaving me to grumble.
Never mind and forget what I just said earlier, Leaving aside my privacy, As the godly being who could read mind and memories, you have at least enough consideration not to tattle what you know after reading my mind and memories to others.
•There is only us here!!!•
"Even so, it aint right"
After some rambling and some grumbling, Makina was able to calm down and stop any further complications between me and the goddess and proceed back to the main conversation earlier.
°So, what did you do next after you refuted the idea that most Gods and deities suggest to address the distress°
•Just like you said, The other Gods and Deities understood the problem that may cause if we did what we thought earlier and agreed that it only cause more trouble than help, Rejecting the Idea, The other Gods and Deities proceeded to find other alternatives but found none as only means of communicating to the otherworld and to let them know our arrival is through revelation•
•And so, they ask me then what to do then to address this distress as we found no means other than giving revelation to address the distress as thought earlier, and with that I.....ummm•
That ummm sound in the end, for some reason im only have bad feelings about it.
•ummm...., reveal this mortal memories to the other Gods and Deities to-•

"YOU INCONSIDERATE BEACH!!!(CURSES), I FUCKING KILL YOU!!!"

(Earth narrator POV)
([Tooot])(Car Honk)
([Beeppp])(Car Honk)
([Clack, Clack, Clack])(Footsteps clatter)
The city wakes up with a gentle hum, the first light of dawn casting a soft glow over the skyline. Streets that were silent in the early hours now begin to fill with the steady rhythm of life. The morning rush is a familiar symphony—cars honking, buses rumbling, and the clatter of footsteps on the pavement.
On any other day, people are at their little rectangle box devices called mobile phones, doing their own things.
Some of them are scrolling for the next adrenaline rush, while some are taking pictures and videos of their own gratification, and also some are facing their phone with quite diverse emotions as its screen reflects what they doing.
It is like any other day except, there a notifications that are received by all mobile devices, some ignore it, while some didn't even bother to read it and erase them from the screen of their phone, most people do what two mentioned earlier, and of course, they are also who different from the rest and read it and the notification say-
'Another World Channel is on stream'
