Almost simultaneously, everyone present reacted and knelt down in unison.
Including Ancil.
Including Harvis.
Including Lia.
Also including Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika.
Even Lucy knelt down.
In the entire royal hall, only Shien, Airi, and Lilith remained standing, while everyone else prostrated themselves on the ground.
And then…
“We greet Goddess Lildas!”
Yuler shouted loudly.
“””””We greet Goddess Lildas!”””””
Everyone present chanted in unison.
“Lildas…?”
Shien’s heart trembled again.
He couldn’t possibly not know this name.
She was the head of the Three Goddesses, the true apex of the current Divine Race, besides the Supreme God Omniis.
She was the strongest being in the three realms, surpassing even Demon Lords, second only to Omniis and the Demon King Claudis.
It was said that in this world called Omnipotence, besides Omniis, the true god, and Claudis, the true demon, this goddess was the first to be born.
If Omniis and Claudis were born before the world, then after the world was created by the omnipotent Goddess Omniis, this goddess was created immediately afterward, literally the “first lifeform in the world.” ŗἁNoBĚș
The most powerful goddess of the Divine Race, who governed, controlled, and guided the fate of all beings – Lildas.
This legendary Goddess of Fate had finally appeared here.
And then… she set her sights on Shien.
“Are you Shien Buztout?”
A cold voice echoed from this strongest goddess.
That voice was as cold as ice, as sharp as a blade.
Undoubtedly, it was the voice of a “god.”
Although not arrogant or condescending, it seemed to embody the phrase “divine might like a prison,” condescending and majestic.
Shien felt a suffocating pressure bearing down on him.
But then, an immense power erupted from within him, completely dispelling this pressure.
“Huh?”
Lildas seemed to sense something and let out a soft sound of surprise.
Shien felt his body lighten, then his expression changed, and he looked at Lildas with displeasure.
Although he didn’t know why this goddess had suddenly appeared here, he knew that she was here for him.
And the power erupting from within him dispelled the sense of powerlessness he had felt before, making him glare at her, his eyes turning cold.
Shien stepped forward.
“I am Shien.” Shien’s voice was strong and powerful, as if unwilling to show weakness. “What business do you have with me?”
His rebellious expression and tone stunned everyone present who had recovered.
“Shien!”
Lucy couldn’t help but reach out and tug at Shien’s sleeve.
But Shien ignored her, just glaring at Lildas, his expression extremely displeased.
In the eyes of those present, this behavior was probably considered extremely disrespectful, right?
“That boy…”
Only Airi’s eyes lit up, her previously serious expression turning amused.
“Oh no!”
Nadue, hiding in the shadows, cried out inwardly, seemingly guessing what was about to happen.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lildas fell silent, then walked towards Shien.
“—”
A suffocating pressure filled the hall.
Everyone present held their breath, wanting to say something, but unable to speak, making many of them anxious.
Especially Vivian, Diere, Lumia, Melika, Lia, and Leisha. Watching Lildas approach Shien step by step, their hearts were filled with anxiety.
