Manav walked out of the garbage room and searched the open and high place so he can figure out the interior of this place.
Shine*
A strong but ethereal green light shined from the left side of Manav and his vision was blocked for a moment.
"Huh? What happened?" Manav questioned himself.
"Ding* host, there was a strong energy storm happened in left direction of you, energy is suitable for making a strong mana core for you, which can make the core run for centuries on overload mode without stopping." The sound from Puppet Engeneering ability sounded.
"I didn't know that this ability comes with AI." Manav muttered to himself with slight confusion and happiness.
As for why happiness, you guys know, and if you don't just comment.
Manav walked towards the place strong light shined and subsided in few seconds.
After quite a few turns and a long corridor Manav reached in front of a huge and looking royal gate.
Manav pushed the gate easily despite its heavy weight, using his ability 100 times the strength.
Manav walked in and found the room in mess, everything in was destroyed and there was unknown number of pieces of dark meat scattered like a body of living being was exploded.
Manav's belly didn't churn, because he didn't have one.
"I will definitely vomit for few days, if I have seen this scene in my previous life even throught the screen. Well now my emotions... Huh? What is that?" When talking to himself, suddenly a white thing lying on ground attracted Manav's attention.
He walked towards that place.
After a dozens of steps, he saw a beautiful figure of a female human.
"Tch! If I have seen this figure in my previous life, I must've even murdered the president of U*A, but hey! this body doesn't give any reactions to this untouchable beauty." Manav joked to himself, after seeing the face and figure of human female on ground.
"Okay joking stops now, let's think she must have been here when that strong energy storm happened or she must be the main participant of that incident, let's ask her after she awakes." Manav said to himself and took a step ahead and used his hands to pick up the human female into princess carry pose and walked towards the gate he came in from.
While walking a shiny ring attracted his attention.
"What's this?" Manav stopped and forgot the female human into his hands and used another command which cancelled the previous one and the human female fell on the ground with her bu*t aiming toward the ground.
"Ahhh! Who dare hurt this goddess?" She yelled while holding her bu*t.
After a while, she didn't heard the answer she turned her head to see who dropped her.
She found a puppet holding a ring, which was exuding black aura.
"A puppet, no! Puppet beast, what a rare thing? No! Why I am here and where are my powers, ugh!" While talking to herself, she recalled the memories of the previous scene of losing here powers.
"Disgusting demon! How dare you? I will definitely destroy your whole disgusting race, once let me get my powers back." Goddess no! now mortal human, said while gritting her white teeth.
"Hey! Puppet... Ugh how can I forgot that puppet beast has no other functions than seeing." She put her hands on her head and said.
She tried to stand up, after a quite tries she stood up.
"My body has awakened to the level of born baby."
She took a step forward.
Slam*
"Ouch! It hurts." She sat up after kissing the land, rubbing her nose and palms, which was injured and fair skin was reddened.
She did not bleed thanks to her body being stronger than normal humans, because of her top level talent.
(There was also a story where she became a goddess from a rich mortal family, if you want me to write on that I can buy readers you have to support me, when there will be more than 1000 yes to write the beginning of road to become goddess to exist, I will write it and definitely try to write it different from the ones on market if they exist.)
She blew her hands and try to lick her nose with her long tongue. (Hehehe, Readers if you want this to be her black...)
...
(Manav's side P.O.V.)
Manav picked up the ring and two prompts sounded immediately in front of his vision.
[Synthesis object found]
[Please choose whether you want to synthesized it, carefully]
[The ring containing the knowledge of puppet emperor in form of projection, but now it is heavily corrupted by demonic and abbyssal energy, recommended to destroy or get rid of it.]
Manav was immediately thoughtful after reading both systems prompts and their wording carefully.
"Synthesis system said it can be synthesized but there is extra prompt saying whether and carefully, second one is saying it's corrupted and bad for user, so... Let's just get rid of it." Manav said and turned to see the position where he dropped the female human.
"Oh she is awake, good." Manav walked few steps forward and stopped.
After rwalking near, Manav saw something great.
"Wow, what a talent in tongue manipulation, even those renowned champions of network can't do anything except touching their nose with tongue and here she is licking her front of nose, Bravo!" Manav was shocked after seeing the talent of female human he found.
Hearing the sound of metallic footsteps goddess raised her head and saw puppet standing few steps away from her and looking at her with no movement.
Goddess's face reddened quickly after she found that he was staring at her face.
Because she was licking her nose with tongue and no one do this.
After a few moments goddess shook her head and wiped her head with her shoulder clothes.
Goddess stood up and started looking back at puppet, she knew that third puppet is sentinel, that's why this puppet is called puppet beast.
Manav saw that she is completely fine, so he turned and started walking to the exit gate of the listed room they are in.
"Puppet beasts are really rare and they will be born only after ten thousands of years and situation must be suitable, looks like this one is lucky, but puppet beasts can't grow stronger because of their body type and just born baby's brain intelligence, mostly they are hunted by the humans and those furry species and humanoid species for making contract or research on how puppet can born a soul and gain intelligence despite not having brains to store memory." Goddess says to herself without hiding it, she knew that puppets don't have ears, and there was no research on making ears or vocal functions for puppets except eyes.
Manav didn't heard anything and just walked forward, he had already put the ring in special metal he found from garbage heap after long searching.
There was not any another special metals, if not why that room is not called treasure room but a garbage room.
Goddess was standing there thinking on every existing knowledge she has on puppet beasts.
"Should I follow him or not he has already developed quite a intelligence above of an 19 year old child, but he didn't hurt me, this stats that he has not been found by humans or other species yet. Okay let's just follow him and try to make him my contracted beast, as for his body I will upgrade it after gaining strength enough to make others fear me." Goddess's bulb of light was lit and she started to follow the puppet beast.
She raised her head to see where puppet beast is.
"Huh? Where is he? No! He must be not lost puppet beast is an type of beast which is more rarer than divine beasts, and if I have this puppet beast in starting years, I have become powerful enough to be equal to abyss in strength, and return to my world to rule and be worshipped to gather faith power, not hiding in another small universe and maintain it." Goddess started running after finding that puppet beast has gone far enough to be not in her sight.
After running for minutes she found Manav, heading out of the castle.
She took the breather and ran with full strength towards Manav.
When she reached equal to Manav, Manav turned his face and stared at her turned back his head looking at his path.
Manav was relaxed because there was no forest and beasts outside the castle, only grasslands and hills.
Atleast he can run away when he sees something from far away.
But there is problem that if enemy can run without making any noise enough to vibrate the land, than he can be ambushed.
Suddenly Manav saw goddess walking with him by equal footing.
"Hehehe, when there is someone is by your side, why do you have to take responsibilities of all works, let's ask her to be on guard for me and alarm me after spotting a potential enemy..." Manav stopped and looked at the woman next to him.
Goddess was confused that why puppet beast stopped and started to look at her.
She took few steps back and put her one finger on her exquisite ring.
Manav didn't know that his actions aroused the vigilance from someone.
Manav squatted and started making pictures on ground.
After a while stood up and looked at the woman.
Goddess was confused at first but after seeing Manav squatting and making pictures on ground using his fingers, she took few steps forward and looked at it.
When picture was completed she pointed towards herself and looked at face of puppet beast.
Manav nodded.
"Ok." Goddess said and nodded her head in agreement.
...
"Huh? So this is puppet beast, hahahahaha what a fortune, ones I sell this information to village chief he will definitely reward me, atleast enough to build my house in village and big sum of money." The figure with glass on his one eye laughed and backed down crouching, not want to attract anyone's attention.
