Meanwhile, in the material plane, Night opened her eyes and couldn't help but groan in pain. She then held her head that was the cause of her pain as she tried to stand up
Memories immediately flooded her brain as she finally recognized what happened from before she left the cave, until the current moment and she frowned.
She had left the cave, got pressured into kneeling down on the floor for a few days. After getting used to the weight slightly, they pushed forward and managed to reach the problem after a tough battle with the pressure.
They had to beg the great God who released such pressure to spare them, at least the children should be spared if sacrifices were needed. They knew that deities had unique temperaments, and one mistake could lead to their total annihilation.
But after reaching the place, no matter how much they called, beg and cried, the god ignored them. Left with no choice, they were forced by the pressure to stay nearby.
And that's when things became a bit...
Sensing hope, Night told her fellow sisters to persist in this punishment, it could be the god's test of will or something of sorts. The sisters believed her and persisted to suffer.
But out of boredom, the third sister, Neon, closed her eyes to rest and recuperate her lost energy, but she suddenly realised that her strength increased by leaps and bounds... by quite a margin compared to usual.
She told the others, Night was afraid that they would disturb the God by absorbing the sorounding energy, but fortunately, the god did not seem to mind.
In fact, one of the orbs floating above him swam above Neon's head and increased her affinity of nature by more than twofold. After being told this, Night thought that the God was blessing them and rewarding them for their efforts and told her sisters to not over indulge in the god's grace, lest they annoy or embarrass him.
But who knew, after the god woke up, he would kill all of them. A lot of theories were built in her head as she thought about what the god was thinking about.
Could he have wanted to use them to absorb large amounts of energy? Did they perhaps disturb him? Did they absorb too much of his energy and caused a disruption in his meditation?
"Missy..." A gentle voice called out to her as she was still indulged in her thoughts. Night immediately woke up and looked towards the original direction of the sound.
But a moment later, she was shocked so much that her eyes almost popped off out of her sockets. That was because her killer was here, but instead of blaming or resenting him, she instead hurriedly bowed down and begged.
"G-Great god above, I beg you for your forgiveness, it was our fault for being too greedy and over-indulgent, please don't blame our sisters in the cave, if your anger is not quenched... y-y-you can torture my soul as much as you desire!!!" Her voice was teary and her body slightly trembling.
As for Enigma, who called out to her, he bitterly smiled as this was the forth time something like this has happened in the past five minutes. The other three girls reacted the same way.
The other three blushed greatly in embarrassment when thru saw their eldest sister embarrass herself, the same way they did.
At first, even he was embarrassed for them. But after the second time, he became immune to it. But the other sisters weren't, they covered their red shaded faces of embarrassment, and did not dare look at Night.
As for Enigma, their loyalty and responsibility caught his attention and he slightly got interested in the young girls. It was not like it was that hard to catch his interest.
Louise had caught his interest just by the act of gifting him a necklace and grabbing his hand. Su Han did so through his simple appearance, Allen by his pervert yet disciplined profile, the twins due to their ironical names and behaviors.
As a fellow simple guy, Enigma found the beautiful but slightly malnourished elves before him quite amusing. Plus, they were the first specie he met after descending into this world.
"The four of you, raise your heads. It seems like I have put you girls in trouble for... (Now that I think about it, I meditated for three and half months instead of huh)... three months.
"I might not be a righteous nor an evil god yet, but I do know my rights and wrongs. And your responsibility as sisters has showed me that being responsible is an aspect of maturity.
"Fine, I'll take responsibility for my previous actions and accept one wish from each of you girls. What do you think? If you refuse, you'd be putting me in a tough spot, you see." He said casually as he sat down crossed legged, in front of the four girls.
He mentioned the last statement after seeing two of the girls about to refuse his words. Aiy~ mortals were still cautious and simple after all. He thought to himself.
If it were a human, they would've taken the chance to ask for something extravagant without a second thought at all. They weren't simple creatures after all, unlike elves.
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
The four girls were surprised speechless and didn't know what to answer. To them, gods were not supposed to be this down to earth nor humble.
Their eldest sister was different because she was an elven goddess, and one falling from her grace at that.
"Don't worry, I will fulfill your wishes to the best of my abilities. But I seem to have a fiancée, so I can't accept any thing related to my personal life okay? I can also help you raise your strength..." Enigma was still halfway through his words, when one of the girls interrupted him and smashed her head on the floor, kowtowing.
"Please!!!" Her name was Noelle, she always simply wished to gain strength. People back at home, beasts of the forest, the wyvern, the beastfolk, everyone wanted to start trouble with their small family.
She was tired of this. She didn't care about the village or the Elven Empire, but one thing was for sure, nobody could be allowed to bully her sisters. Be it younger or older sisters, she always wanted to protect them.
Even if it meant selling her soul to the devil, being a god's plaything or anything else, she had to get revenge for her eldest sister and then find a safe place for her other sisters.
"Noelle?!" Night was shocked, not because of Noelle's resolve, but her insolence to interrupt a god while he was speaking. "Hurry up and apologize, now!!!"
Noelle also realised her mistake as well, she became pale and immediately kowtowed by knocking her head on the floor heavily once again. "Ah!! Please forgive my insolence great--"
If she pissed of a god, then let alone her life, her sisters might die as well. What she wants was power, not her own and her only familys' death. But Enigma ignored her actions and cut off her words before she could finish them.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| "That's enough, Noelle, is it? Are you willing to belive in me? Believe in me and I assure you that, Strength will not be the only thing you will get. This also applies to you three as well." Advertisement was also a job juvenile gods had to do by themselves.
Since they lacked proper foundations, firmer hierarchy, nor churches or temples, they could only rely on themselves to advertise themselves. Sometimes, using might was easier, but this was not the situation for that.
He had his own way of gaining his own followers, in fact, for him, the simplest would be to create his own race. But that would probably cost him around billions of points or thousands of years.
And just to clarify, not all true gods could create their own races through deific powers. They could reproduce and create clans since they live longer, but also took a minimum of a thousand years to create a firm foundation.
And who knows, the god's bloodline might have thinned out during that time. Enigma didnt have time for that... at least not yet, and its not yet verified whether that cold beauty would be his future wife. And even if it was, would she be willing to carry his children?
That out of the way, Noelle, no, not only her, Night and the other two were surprised as well. They looked at Enigma with blank gazes, mixed with a bit of wariness in them.
"...."
"I-If I may, Great god?" Night swallowed her saliva to wet her dry throat as she meekly called out, her head lowered again. She was never bold to begin with.
"I'm still a juvenile, just refer to me as a young god or young master." Enigma waved his hand at them and casually replied.
Not like they couldn't see it through his appearance, but gods had their way of retaining youth, so they didn't dare ask.
