"Ahhhhhh—"
A second scream rang out after Hui Hui's.
"A, a, a Goddess??" Darkness stared at Aqua in shock: "Aqua is actually a Goddess? The Goddess of Water worshipped by the Axis Church?"
As a noble family that had worshipped Eris for generations, Darkness also knew some of the grievances between the Eris Church and the Axis Church.
They were old rivals and sworn enemies; whenever they met, the most basic thing was to spit at each other, but every time, the Eris Church followers would be beaten without any power to retaliate.
This was because the Axis Church followers would always use some underhanded tactics, disturbing the public every day, eventually causing the Eris Church's cathedral to be unable to tolerate the harassment and actively avoid them.
The people of the Axis Church all had some serious mental issues. (To be considered to have serious mental issues by Lalatina, who is full of useless thoughts, shows that it's beyond what a normal person can comprehend.)
"Th-th-then—you, you, you, you too?" Darkness looked at Xia Wei in disbelief. She still remembered some of what Aqua had said before, about the Divine Realm and such.
"That's right, he is also a deity like me, a true deity." Aqua patted Xia Wei's shoulder as if an older sister encouraging her younger brother, then raised her head: "You've met two deities, why aren't you offering your devout faith quickly?"
"Uh, although I'm very shocked, I am a follower of the Eris Church." Darkness said without hesitation. Even when facing a deity, her faith would not change.
"What? Eris? That thick-skinned Eris who became currency? That Eris who was self-conscious about her small chest and used padding?" Aqua stood with her hands on her hips, assuming the posture of a Goddess.
"What good is there in believing in such a fellow? So, change your faith immediately. Just believe in me, Aqua, understood?"
"A-Aqua—Senior!" Chris looked at Aqua relentlessly belittling her and spilling the beans about her chest being padded, and shame instantly flooded her mind.
She frantically rushed forward to cover Aqua's constantly babbling mouth.
"Argh, mmm, what are you doing! Let go of me, who are you, how dare you—" Aqua's eyes widened. She had already 'revealed herself' and 'leaked her divine aura', yet someone dared to cover her mouth. She struggled angrily.
"Don't say anymore, Aqua Senior! It's me, I am Eris! Please be a little more merciful with your words!" Eris was on the verge of tears.
"Eris? You are Eris?"
"It's me, I am Eris. I just transformed into a human appearance."
Chris was on the verge of tears, light radiating from her body. Her Adventurer's clothes instantly transformed into the appearance of a Goddess wearing a black veil.
Hui Hui's mouth was wide enough to fit an entire egg.
"Chris! E-Eris-sama?!" Darkness trembled in disbelief, immediately kneeling on one knee: "Chris is Eris! Ahhh, Eris-sama has been by my side all this time!"
Every year, the "Eris Festival" is held in the capital of the Belzerg Kingdom, and every time Eris-sama bestows a divine oracle. It is said that Eris-sama descends every time.
Sometimes she appears before the public, sometimes she hides among the public.
Every year, she bestows blessings upon everyone who participates in the "Eris Festival."
She is a truly gentle and kind Goddess.
"I actually didn't want to reveal my identity, sigh." Eris sighed: "Darkness, you don't need to use honorifics when you see me from now on."
"How can I, Eris-sama? My Dustiness family has been your most loyal follower for generations." Darkness said solemnly. At this moment, the useless aura around her vanished.
She was incredibly serious about matters of faith.
"Goddess Aqua of the Axis Church, Goddess Eris of the Eris Church, oh my goodness! Then what about you? What kind of God are you?" Hui Hui's entire face turned into an emoji.
No wonder her 'Explosion Magic' was messed up. If he was a deity, then it wasn't strange, it wasn't strange at all.
She had freeloaded a meal from a deity, so she got messed with by a deity.
"Hehe, guess." Xia Wei said playfully, looking at Hui Hui.
"An Evil God! It must be an Evil God!" Hui Hui blurted out, without any hesitation.
"Lord Xia Wei is not an Evil God, but the great Genesis God. You must show respect to the Genesis God." Eris quickly said, she would not allow anyone to defame the great Genesis God.
The Genesis God created everything, so all life should show necessary respect to the Genesis God.
…
Hui Hui's expression was blank.
"It's over, my 'Explosion Magic' is completely over."
Hui Hui collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant, staring blankly at the sky, as if she had turned into a walking corpse.
Other deities would be fine; at worst, she could convert to another God, and her 'Explosion Magic' might even return.
But the Genesis God, how was she supposed to play now?
"If you behave well, 'Explosion Magic' will return, and become even stronger. It's not impossible to blow up a world with one spell then." Xia Wei looked amusedly at the vacant-eyed Hui Hui.
"Blow up a world—blow up a world!" Hui Hui shot up from the ground, red light emitting from her eyes.
"Explosion Magic that can blow up a world! I want it, I want that power!"
"As long as I listen to you, my Explosion Magic will become powerful enough to blow up the world, right?!"
Explosions are art, explosions are 'Explosion Magic', 'Explosion Magic' is everything!
"Of course." Xia Wei nodded: "As everyone knows, the Genesis God does not lie." Heh heh, hitting the vital point, seizing control.
"It's a deal!" Hui Hui thought for a moment, extended her pinky finger, her cheeks flushed with excitement: "Pinky promise."
"You don't believe me? You don't believe the Genesis God's promise?"
"No, no, no, I believe, I especially believe."
"Then why pinky promise?"
"Because I believe, that's why I pinky promise."
"As everyone knows, the Genesis God does not lie."
Eris looked at Lord Xia Wei, who was already exuding the scent of lies, and couldn't help but inwardly grumble: 'Lord Xia Wei, Lord Xia Wei, the scent of lies is already wafting from you.'
'And that Red Magic Clan member called Hui Hui, why do you dare to do this to the Genesis God? Please stop.'
Aqua blinked, looking as if she had just snapped back to reality, clenching her right fist and tapping it into her left palm.
"Oh, so it's the Genesis God."
At this moment, Xia Wei stopped, and the noisy group also stopped.
Their gazes followed Xia Wei's line of sight, to a sign hanging on the door of a small magic item shop.
"Wiz's Item Shop"
"Huh? A Lich, there's actually a top-tier Undead in this shop." Aqua's eyes widened.
"Eh—" Eris, of course, knew there was a Lich here. She knew it when she first arrived, but the other party hadn't done anything bad, and had even done many good deeds, even being lent money by Adventurers who never paid it back, so she didn't interfere.
Xia Wei opened the door, and the bell on the door jingled as it opened.
"Welcome." A gentle, weak voice sounded from inside the shop.
