《The undead who yearned for life》23-The new home
Advertisement
Thinking about it once more, how do I call the Earth Goddess? When I was thinking about how to call the God of the Underworld he appeared behind me, but that was because he was probably monitoring me ready to make his entrance, there is no way for the Earth Goddess to do the same.
...Just to be sure I slowly turned back; as expected there is no one behind me this time.
Now, if she's really a the Goddess of the Earth, she should be able to tell everything that happens on the earth, don't this means that I can simply write something in the soil and she'll appear?
Mmm... this is a good idea (or at least a good try), but as I was going to write a message it came to me: in which language am I going to write it? I highly doubt that she knows my old word letters, and I don't know this world letters.
Well, if it comes down to it, I'll just need to use drawings and hope for the best, for now let's go with the second idea: I'll make a temple with lots of earth and metals and inside of it... maybe I can also build an altar and a statue.
Though I don't know how she looks, by her behaviour and after taking a look at the other Gods, she's most likely in the form of a children. Let's just make the statue looks like my little sister (the cutest children ever existed, if I say so myself).
In the end I made a perfect began temple (http://imgur.com/k0QPsxv), of course I modernized it a bit and filled it with statues of the different meanings of an Earth Goddes; like the aspect, the aspect, the aspect, the aspect, the aspect, exc.
Initially I also wanted to make the and aspects, but after thinking about it thoroughly, those aspects are more likely to belong to the Nature Goddess.
The temple was finished in a day, and even though the statues and the paintings (more like a careful use of different metals) of all the aspects are with the Goddess in different ages (can't have a little girl do blacksmithing, right?), the central statue represent the Goddess as a child hugging the world as a toy.

When everything was completed, I felt as if the central statue had become alive, and albeit I wasn't sure I started to ... well, I started to think aloud for a meeting.
After one hour passed and no one answered I got pretty mad, so I started to think: "It seems that this is useless, the Earth Goddess must still be angry and this temple is not enough for her, I better destroy it and wait for her to contact me, it's a pity, because I wanted to make a deal in order to build the best palace ever for an Earth Goddess".
As I started to accumulate mana in order to destroy the temple, the central statue moved: -MOU, you meanie, I just wanted you to wait for another century or two, then I would've answered-.
My god, does she really think that everyone has the same as her? Maybe for a Goddess one or two hundred years is not that much, but for us mortals is different.
"You do know that I don't have two centuries of time right? I would've waited at most for a day"
-But, but... you waited only for an hour before trying to destroy my temple- Agh, the Goddess is making the puppy eyes in the body sculpted after my sister, this is exactly the same way my sister always got her way with everything she asked, I must resist.
Aww, it's impossible, I patted her head out of reflex, and although she seemed surprised, she enjoyed it. Is it possible that not all Gods can read the mind? I mean, she seems a bit of a airhead... maybe rockhead would be more correct, it doesn't chance the fact that she can't read every single thought like the God of the Underworld.
"Now, now, don't worry about it, don't you want your personal home to be built? If you forgive me, I'll gift this temple to you, what do you think?"
Her eyes sparkled: -really? Will you give it to me? The last time even though I could take it because of the , my brother appeared and said that because you made it here, he was first...-

Doesn't this means that he swindled the castle from her? Still, I can understand that some of things in there are not... adequate to this Goddess.
"Yes, this temple is for you. Now, I called you to offer this: if you temporarily give me the power to manipulate gravity, I'll build the best home for you".
-Mmm... OK-
The Earth Goddess retrieved the temple you built for her, in exchange she forgives your previous offence and gives you back the 5% earth magic profiency
The Earth Goddess temporarily granted you the skill Gravity manipulation (Godlike 10)
In a second I found myself falling, it seems the Goddess forgot that we were not at ground level when she took the temple. As I was going to splatter on the ground, I activated the Gravity manipulation skill, just in time to be able to count imaginary sand grains.
After my near death experience, I entered my dimension and started to work. The first thing I did was to make ten pillar with a height of ten kiometers and placed them in a decagon formation. The distance between each other is five kilometers.
Once I made sure that the pillars will never break, I placed the most powerful gravity cores in the middle and the top of the pillars, this way everything I bring up there will be suspended in the air in a sort of zero gravity zone.
For the next step I channeled a lot of mana in the earth, in order to gather as much soil, stones and metals from as far as I can, this way the foundations of the pillars will not be touched; while gathering it I also used gravity manipulation to send everything in the gravity field.
At the center of the gravity field I placed another ten gravity cores, finalizing the first step of my project: a reduced version of the solar system, granting that everything was made out of earth, I used some tricks to make them resemble the various planets (like flourescent stones for the sun, or using the most powerful gravity core for jupiter.
I also placed some stones between planets in order to make them resemble the asteroid belt.
This was what I had planned in the beginning, but following that plan I should now build many different buildings to appease the Goddess, though now that I met her, I changed idea.
I'm going to build an interplanetary luna park, with every single attraction that I can think of; from a simple arcade room to an interplanetary roller coaster, which will use the timings of both rotations and revulutions of the planets.
The project took me something like six months of constant work, but because my body never grew tired and there was no need to sleep, it all went well.
The problem how how to make the various machines work was resolved by using electricity cores as batteries, while they will slowly disappear, I'm sure the Goddess will come up with something... worst case scenario she will ask her sister/brother.
I used that much time because despite I knew the basics of programming and electronics (well, a bit more than the basics, but it never interested me too much), I had to experiment quite a bit and fuse some technologies with mana, which greatly simplified the work.
Now the only thing that remains is to show it to the Goddess... I wonder which face will she do.
