“Goddess Nadue…”
Melika finally snapped out of her daze and looked at the dejected Nadue with concern.
“…”
Shien didn’t know what to say, seeing this perfect and flawless goddess so disheartened, he could only sigh.
He had heard about Omniis, the Supreme God, a few times, but only about her indifference and aloofness.
Perhaps this was what a true god was like.
Possessing supreme power, able to easily do things others couldn’t, thus omnipotent. Such a being might truly be unable to find anything interesting in this world.
Because everything came so easily, nothing was worth cherishing.
Only an existence like Claudis, the Demon King, who could even defy the omnipotent goddess, could attract the Supreme God’s attention, right?
For everyone in this world, that supreme goddess was such a high and mighty, untouchable being.
Even for Nadue, a goddess born from Omniis, equivalent to her daughter.
“How irresponsible.”
Shien said this almost without thinking.
Creating others, yet ignoring them, wasn’t that irresponsible?
Nadue didn’t retort, just continued to sigh.
“It can only be blamed on our weakness,” Nadue said, “If we were stronger, then Mother Goddess might be willing to pay more attention to us.”
“That’s a strange thing to say.” Shien retorted, “Is it okay to abandon someone just because they’re weak?”
If that were the case, then this god wasn’t worth worshipping.
However, Nadue shook her head.
“The Mother Goddess created us hoping we could be of use, not to create her own race, to create gods to help her manage the world.”
Nadue’s words reminded Shien of something.
“I remember that Omniis, the Supreme God, initially created the Divine Race to help her fight against the Demon King, right?”
In the beginning, before the world was born, two beings appeared in the void.
One was a goddess, the other a Demon King.
The goddess appeared first and created the world, Omnipotence.
The Demon King didn’t have such miraculous power, but possessed incredible strength capable of destroying everything in this world.
Thus, the goddess and the Demon King became enemies, constantly fighting each other.
But the goddess wasn’t the Demon King’s match, her power countered by the Demon King’s, unable to find any chance of victory.
In order to defeat the Demon King, the goddess created the Divine Race, the third being besides herself and the Demon King.
Therefore, the initial purpose of the Divine Race wasn’t to manage the world on behalf of Omniis, guide the human race, and fight against the Demon Race like now, but to be a force against the Demon King. ɽã₦őbËš
From this perspective, it wasn’t hard to understand why Omniis didn’t have much affection for the Divine Race she created.
After all, from the very beginning, this goddess only intended to create weapons, warriors.
Under such circumstances, for that goddess, weakness might truly be the original sin.
Because if they were weak, they couldn’t defeat the Demon King, couldn’t fight against the Demon Race, couldn’t fulfill their purpose, so naturally, that goddess wouldn’t pay much attention to them.
Shien thought this.
Who would have thought…
“Defeat the Demon King?” Nadue chuckled. “No, the Mother Goddess didn’t create us to help her defeat the Demon King.”
These words from Nadue stunned not only Shien but also Melika.
“The Divine Race wasn’t created to fight against the Demon King?”
Melika was dumbfounded.
Shien was also surprised.
Nalue said frankly,
“The Demon King’s power is beyond your imagination. Even the Mother Goddess could only barely fight against her. Such a powerful ruler of demons, do you really think the entire Divine Race combined could defeat her?”
This…
Nadue’s words left Shien and Melika speechless.
“I can tell you for sure, not only the Divine Race, but even the combined forces of the Divine Race, the human race, and the Demon Race, wouldn’t be able to defeat the Demon King.” Nadue said calmly, “Before the Demon King, except for the omnipotent goddess, all other beings are just weeds by the roadside. Even if she ignored them and let them attack, they wouldn’t be able to harm a single hair on her.”
If it weren’t to this extent, then even the omnipotent goddess wouldn’t be helpless against the Demon King.
Then, the question was,
“If the Divine Race couldn’t help her fight against the Demon King, then why did the Supreme God create them?”
Shien couldn’t help but ask.
