152. A Certain Expectation
“You’re not disappointed?”
The goddess was a little confused.
“Of course not.”
“You really aren’t.”
The goddess understood:
“In people’s hearts, I am a god, not an ordinary girl, so I must be more like a [god]. Azure hair is a little too ordinary.”
“Weren’t you alone before?”
“I used to have many companions.”
The goddess replied. Although it was certainly a sad past, she didn’t show any emotional fluctuations.
“According to history, those with selfish desires will eventually betray [order] for various reasons, and I am the one who killed all the traitors.”
“Why did you do that?”
“…” The goddess was speechless.
“Everything has its own reason, right? Why did you become a [god] instead of a person?”
“Because…”
For a moment, the goddess almost transferred all her energy to her main body to answer Calysia’s question in the soul world. She thought of more than ten thousand answers in one breath, but found that none of them seemed to be the best answer.
There was no most suitable answer.
“You’re really slow, I mean in some aspects.”
“I carry too many cause and effect, it’s normal to be complex… Back to the previous topic, in the eyes of most people, if not described as a [god], I’m more like a [machine]. A machine that maintains peace and stability… I won’t harm anyone without reason, nor will I fulfill my personal ideals for selfish desires. Therefore, I can make peace last.”
Only then did the goddess discover that explaining complex problems to a low-level creature would only make the problem more complex.
But to get the “answer,” she didn’t mind wasting a little time to explain the whole picture.
Calysia nodded. She had to admit that the human world outside the Four Realms was indeed stable enough. Even if a crisis of faith occurred, and it seemed as if a second god was about to be born, it didn’t give the Four Realms any opportunity to take advantage. It seemed that as long as this Goddess of Light was alive, this world would always be at peace.
She suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had realized something.
“I know, then your clone will be called [Goddess of Light] from now on, and your main body, this cute little girl, will be called ‘Reina’!”
“…”
“You don’t agree?”
“The world everyone sees is different, and the way you see me is [Reina].”
“Hehe, Reina… Little Reina…”
Calysia moved a step closer. She began to try to touch the Goddess of Light’s body, the real body, not the clone.
And so she touched it.
Although she would occasionally touch her inadvertently while sitting on the stool at night, this was the first time she had touched the main body.
—It seemed there was nothing special.
Because she was certain that she couldn’t possibly harm him, it happened as a matter of course.
Her skin was very soft, sinking in like a normal person’s, but it felt more comfortable to touch than an ordinary body. This was the goddess’s “value!”
And then, there was her scent.
She couldn’t smell anything…
Because the goddess seemed to have deliberately eliminated her scent. Although what appeared before her was a clone, it was still not the main body.
A bit of a pity.
And then, feeling a little regretful, she touched the goddess’s belly again.
“Calysia.”
“Oh, here?”
“…”
“You’re not angry?”
Calysia thought the other was angry and stopped her hand, but after repeatedly confirming, she knew that the other had no such thought at all.
“You should focus on fighting for the throne, not doing such meaningless things,” the goddess said, completely cold-faced.
Calysia immediately blushed.
“I… wasn’t I discussing the [Truth Formula] with you?”
“Is that so?”
“Absolutely!”
“Then I really can’t understand. Explain it, let me hear your point of view.”
“Uh…”
Calysia didn’t know how to explain. She could only pinch the corner of her skirt and make a cute gesture, intending to muddle through, but the goddess didn’t fall for it.
She sighed deeply and forcibly left the soul world.
Then, Calysia also forcibly returned to reality…
A month later.
The goddess sat on the sofa in the soul world.
Most of her energy was spent calculating future scenarios.
But her mind was “captured” by Calysia.
“I think we should continue to discuss the [Truth Formula],” the goddess urged. “It’s been fifteen minutes, and you’re still stroking my head.”
“Didn’t you say we could discuss the truth?”
“Physical contact can lead to the truth?”
“Aren’t I helping you~”
“With all due respect, your thinking ability needs to be improved… Have you taken back your throne?”
The goddess had no hope. The girl before her was a dummy-level existence.
“I’m still working on it, hmph… are you concerned about me?”
“Just confirming the progress of the mission. I hope you can be faster.”
“But being with you is confirming the progress. By the way, Reina, when can you make this world look less monotonous?”
“Perhaps when I understand the [truth], I can make this place rich and colorful.”
“I see.”
Calysia seemed to understand, but she didn’t fully understand.
“Let me report on the recent situation. I’ve contacted two dragons and am now trying to recruit troops. When my power is strong enough, I can reveal the fact that I’m alive and then start fighting for the throne…”
Saying that, she completely revealed her grand plan to the goddess.
But after listening, the goddess definitely frowned!
Although she wouldn’t frown on the surface, she would definitely look down on her “full of loopholes” in her heart. The goddess saw right through it.
“Mmph, can you give me some good advice?”
The goddess’s eyes flickered.
“The hint will be placed on your desk.”
“Reina is so good to me~”
“You’re such a useless person.”
The goddess said bluntly.
Anyway, based on her observation, no matter what she said, she wouldn’t offend this lively girl, so she just said her true feelings:
“Without me, you probably wouldn’t be able to survive.”
“Hehe…”
“This is the last time I’ll help.”
“Yes, I’ll definitely solve it myself!”
“…”
Before leaving, Calysia suddenly remembered that she hadn’t discussed the [truth] with the goddess yet, so she smiled and said, “Do you need me to do anything for you?”
“…I’ve already answered that.”
“—Am I a useless person?!”
But it was also normal. She was a goddess.
Then, Calysia would meet her once a week.
So, the goddess also gradually developed a habit. Anyway, it didn’t have much impact on her life. She even wanted to observe this person who was interested in her and dared to approach her. If it were someone else, they would have kept their distance long ago.
But one day, six months later, something abnormal seemed to have happened.
The goddess sat on the throne in the magnificent palace, looking at the mirror in front of her.
It reflected the scenes of countless cities, and there, an extraordinary event seemed to be happening.
It was probably a struggle between royal families or princesses, and the one who had a chance of winning was a girl named Sophia.
Speaking of royalty.
In a daze, she discovered that Calysia hadn’t come to the soul world for a month.
…Could it be that she had died?
That person, with her carefree personality, no talent, and no power, was indeed an inconspicuous existence in the torrent of history.
If she died, perhaps no one would remember.
Just a pitiful dragon princess.
“…”
“…I should go find her.”
Just as the goddess was about to stand up, a figure suddenly appeared from behind and hugged her, breathing deeply.
“Hehe~”
“Reina’s energy is full!”
