“What’s in the past… will remain in the past! Gaia, it is forbidden to speak any longer of the world before this one!” Said the God of Creation, his light pierced through everything, engulfing the entire hall. “I understand you, though… But you’re being too driven by the emotions of the souls of these humans! Perhaps… it is a side effect of being a goddess of souls and life, but you must restraint yourself from getting anymore involved with these humans! Did you heard me? Your intervention had already caused an Irregular to be born…!”
The God of Creation seemed furious, as the small Gaia was trembling in fear. However, Nyx quickly decided to intervene, standing up and speaking back to the God of Creation!
“God of Creation, don’t you think you’re being too irrational? Denying the history of this world seems foolish to me! If we don’t investigate and learn what had truly happened to it, how do you expect us to actually be able to defeat the Demon kings using the souls of these people?” Asked Nyx. “And it is not as if the connection between both worlds is not growing any stronger now!”
Nyx words shook the hall, but the other gods quickly agreed with her.
“That’s true, there is a very delicate balance…”
“God of Creation, if we simply sit down, things might get worse. We don’t have control over the resurrection of the Demon Kings. There might be even another one resurrecting at the same time as the current one if the Demon King of Miasma is yet to be defeated!”
“We have to do something better than this… We cannot just oversee and slowly do things… The world is progressing at a quicker pace than we do.”
“Y-You all… You agree with her?!” Asked the God of Creation. If most of the Gods agreed in something, he wouldn’t really be able to force his way of thinking into everybody. After all, even the smallest of the gods was a pillar to the world, if he foolishly punished them all, that would be highly detrimental to the world (game) itself.
“I agree with her…”
“I do as well.”
“Little Gaia is always doing things out of the purity of her heart… She’s too much of an angel to not agree with her.”
“E-Everyone…” Gaia’s eyes looked at the other Gods as tears began to pour out of her eyes.
“Fine…”
The God of Creation sighed, considering the many things that needed to be done. He himself had also begun to think about the world rapidly advancing, and about the many Demon Kings and other menaces sealed within its soil that would eventually awaken… if they continued being too passive, the entire world would suffer, and eventually, the gods would regret not having done anything while they could.
“But it won’t be as Gaia wants to! It will be a small help… And not something that could change everything from one day to the other… The System and the [Others] shall know this as well, I’ll give them the direction we want to take the world… Gaia, you better not regret this if things become too busy for you to handle! Be prepared, there will be a lot of work to do!” Said the God of Creation. However, Gaia smiled happily, as she couldn’t but feel grateful.
“Thank you, my lord! I will do my best… I will work the hardest! I won’t stop working! I will work until I bleed and fall apart!” Said Gaia, her shiny eyes were filled with determination.
“Hmph… You never change.” Sighed the God of Creation, as he opened a portal and quickly went away to talk with the [Others].
Meanwhile, the other Gods surrounded Gaia and began to talk about their own ideas and many things, as Nyx smiled from the back while looking at Gaia. She sighed in relief that everything went rather well at the end… And through her memories, she recalled all the scenes where she saw Planta from Achlys’ perspective. Somehow, both Planta and Gaia… had a very uncanny resemblance. Both were clumsy but very good-hearted, they were hard workers and did everything they could to help others, and above all… they were angels at heart, too pure for this dark world.
Perhaps they committed grave mistakes sometimes because they lacked experience and were clumsy… but they would quickly realize their mistakes and work as hard as possible to redeem them and help all those affected by it. 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ
“Heh, you really resemble a lot that “hope” that you love so much, Gaia.” She said, as she sighed, looking down below the heavens, into the direction where the Forest of Beginnings was. “Now the world is in a commotion… I wonder how she is going to handle everything… It will be interesting to see, especially because I got the front-row seat with my own little “hope” too! Fufu…”
Nyx mischievously giggled while looking through the vastness of the world (game) and all of its wondrous wonders. She quickly noticed an enormous Phoenix soaring through the skies, carrying three mysterious and incredibly strong Players.
“Oho? It seems she’ll soon have some visits…” She thought, quickly noticing not only that Phoenix, but various other figures across the Continent of Verdant, all moving towards the Forest of Beginnings… Even the people of the land (NPC)!
“So she is even attracting those of this land… The surrounding Nations are probably not going to ignore this mystical forest any longer… I wonder how she is going to handle things now… When this world as it is slowly begins to look less and less as a game… Very little Players had even gotten involved in other nations politics… But it seems that there are a few bold men and women willing to even try to get closer to the immortal Players… especially her, who is already revered as the messenger of Gaia… Fufu, from now on, things are only going to get more exciting. Gaia… You’ve really brought a troublemaker to this world, haven’t you?”
