Nadue looked at Shien.
“I won’t hide it any longer.” Nadue stared at Shien and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the blessing you possess should be the blessing of Omniis, the Mother Goddess of our Divine Race, the creator of the world, the truly omnipotent goddess, right?”
Shien’s eyes narrowed, and he fell silent.
Melika was shocked.
“The Supreme God’s blessing…!?”
Melika looked at Shien in disbelief. Mr. Shien possessed the Supreme God’s blessing…? Was this a joke?
Unfortunately, it wasn’t.
“…If you’re asking if that’s true, then I don’t mind answering.”
After a moment of silence, Shien raised his head calmly and replied,
“The blessing I possess is indeed called—[Supreme God’s Blessing].”
Shien admitted it.
He admitted this shocking fact that could shake the entire world.
“As expected…”
Nadue exhaled.
Although she had already guessed it and was quite certain, Nadue hadn’t completely ruled out other possibilities until she heard Shien admit it himself.
Now, with Shien’s confirmation, Nadue was certain.
“This…”
Melika covered her mouth, unable to hide her shock.
She knew that Shien was the Hero, a Hero who shouldn’t have appeared, and that he must have a huge secret.
But Melika was considerate and didn’t pry, or rather, she felt she wasn’t qualified to pry. Like the other members of Vivian’s squad, she never mentioned this matter in front of outsiders.
Even among themselves, they rarely talked about it.
This was to protect Shien’s privacy, his secret, and allow him to live peacefully in this world.
Who would have thought that this secret, only slightly revealed, was so terrifying?
The Supreme God’s blessing?
Was this a blessing a human could obtain?
Wasn’t the highest level of blessing recognized by people the blessings of the Three Goddesses?
Even Heroes were blessed by the Three Goddesses, weren’t they?
Melika’s mind was in a whirl.
She had never heard of anyone receiving the Supreme God’s blessing, including past Heroes and renowned figures.
But Shien had exceeded everyone’s expectations, making Melika have the absurd thought, “So, the Supreme God can also bestow blessings?”
Melika was confused and at a loss.
Nadue, however, couldn’t help but ask,
“I heard from Anima that you don’t know why you were summoned to this world, and you don’t know anything about the Hero Summoning, right?”
Nadue stared intently at Shien.
“That’s right.” Shien said calmly, “When I came to my senses, I was already in a monster forest, with nothing but the Holy Sword by my side. I only learned about the Hero and the Hero Summoning later, so I don’t know why I was summoned, or why I appeared in that place.”
This was the excuse Shien used with Anima.
Now, he used it again with Nadue.
Regarding Nien, Shien had been told not to tell any of the Divine Race goddesses.
Shien didn’t intend to betray Nien and reveal everything to the Goddess of Nature, whom he was meeting for the first time.
If Nadue wanted to pursue this matter, she would be disappointed.
However, just as Shien thought this…
“I won’t ask about unnecessary matters, but I hope you can tell me one thing. Consider it a personal request.”
Nadue bit her lip.
“What is it?”
Shien looked at Nadue.
Nadue hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Shien.
“Have you seen the Supreme God, Omniis, our Mother Goddess?”
When these words left Nadue’s lips, Shien was speechless.
Because, at this moment, there was no inquiry about his secrets, no suspicion about his words, in Nadue’s eyes, only a faint, burning, and anxious anticipation.
Yes.
