《Tale of Careless Goddess》Chapter 7: Fateful Encounter
Advertisement
I noticed some kind of dark pulsating ball in this thing's hand. From the way it still trying to escape, I think it is the soul of that greater demon. The thing raised a black ball towards her face and spoke.
"Well, in a normal situation due to your insane amount of bad deeds you have done, I would destroy your soul at this moment."
"But if I do that, others will know something happed and start sniffing around."
Bad deed?Soul? Others?
There is no way a demon will talk about things like wrongdoing because they are the epitome of sin themselves.
She is definitely not anything related to spirit since it is easy to recognize them because each spirit is presented with four elements of this word making.
The soul is something, not even, gods can touch it is something only the real God who created both gods and demons can touch. And she is talking about destroying as if its nothing. Is she the creator of this world?
Then why I don't see or hear anything about her?
"Making the whole point of using your gate kinda worthless so this time, I make an exception.
Following her speech, we saw a greater demon's soul slowly took the shape of a small black cat. It had a gray eye and had cute little wings and a pointy tail.
Yep, a demon that killed thousands of people and made gate from their skulls, transformed into this powerless looking cute cat. If this looked cute to me, then it would be even more fatal to the woman.
"Cute!"
Just as I expected, Lyra and Anna spoke. Rose, who usually the coldest one of the group, had a spark in her eyes.
"Ah, she is goddess Lynne!"
"This mortal greets old Deus."

Suddenly Lyra standing beside me immediately disabled her transformation and kneeled before this thing. Anna and Rose followed her as well.
"Old Deus ?"
What is old Deus mean?
"Kuromori quick kneel before her!"
"Yes, Kuro quickly kneels before her."
"What?"
Feeling how serious the situation is, I had no choice to kneel before this thing.
"Who is she? Why Lyra you kneeling before her. Didn't you said your royal family kneels to no one?"
I asked via telepathy from three.
"Yes, I said that, but Old Deus is an exception."
"Old Deus is the title of very first god born alongside this world itself. People say Remtris goddess of light and Layil god of darkness is the first one but, they can't say that in front of Lynne's followers cause they knew the truth."
"As goddess of Justice and Redemption, she is judge, jury, and executioner. She is the only goddess who can judge and punish other gods."
"And the fairest goddess that doesn't discriminate no one."
"This is bad."
Said three while shaking in fear.
Isn't it totally fine if you didn't do bad things, why are you shaking?
"Why bad? isn't a good thing that there is a goddess who does her job ?"
Isn't that a good thing?
Finally, there is a goddess that can put those proud gods into their place.
"Idiot! she is too fair."
"She judges everything to possess a soul, even by chance she found guilty even god will be executed. In the past, there was a time she found just one depraved archbishop in her temple and called her entire army to judge that person. If not for wise king Reynold there is no telling that she would execute the whole continent!."

"After that, every corrupted priest and official in every kingdom that has her temple is executed. It became a one-sided massacre, corpses of priests, officials, kings filled the streets. Followers of other gods and demons tried to use that as a chance, but when they found guilty, they also executed and their god's soul destroyed by Lynne herself."
"Because of her terrifying form looks human yet not human, demon yet not a demon. For a few centuries, every kingdom refused to build her temple thinking she is a demonic goddess."
I laughed a dry laugh.
Now I know why greater demon afraid from her that much. She literally doesn't discriminate between bug and god.
"But don't forget every good king seek to build my temple in their kingdom."
"!?"
"What ?!"
"Do you really think telepathy works in front of me ?"
"I can even read your mind as well but, it would be too rude."
She was hearing our entire conversation!
I felt a cold chill running through my back while sweat forming on my palm.
"Stand up, the only time you need to kneel is when you meet me after your death."
When stood up we saw her observing us with a gentle smile.
"Looks like this well-known form is not fit for undercover."
Said her body enveloped in bright light a moment later when the light fades lady looks like in her late twenty stood in front of us. It looked like a small and version of her self with the skin, but still, she was head or two taller than us.
She had bright red eyes and silver hair reaching her butt, decorated with a circlet. She clad in a long black off shoulder-dress alike to her armor it separated by the waist section in a thin net. Her overwhelming presence now replaced with a very peaceful one that making me feel very tired. But at the same time seeing her large bosom and slim waist showing behind the thin net I felt my little jimmy slowly rising.
STOP!
Kuromori you already promised your heart to Anna, Lyra, and Rose. Don't you dare lust like a dog in heat!
She is dangerous in every kind of way.
Suddenly I could feel the goddess smiled at me like approval. Mm… after checking again, it seemed to be an illusion.
If she human form like that, why she didn't turn into a human in the first place.
"Lord, Lynne why don't you use your human form?"
Anna took my word straight from my mouth. Some times Anna's straightforwardness really scares me as expected girl I fell in love with.
"Heh, little girl people suppose to afraid of me. They should afraid of being judged by their crime."
There were decisiveness and pride in her word.
"Then what about redemption ?"
"Looks like the you got it. This is the form I used to receive souls that able to redeem themselves."
Said the goddess walked towards the two unconscious elf children in the cage and with a simple touch, she erased the cage.
"It is the first time I arrived in a material world so you guys gonna be my guides."
She spoke with a smile while embracing two children in each hand. At that moment, I didn't know what kind of storm she woud bring.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
