Pov Orion:
"These people are pitiful, every monster they kill they use as an offering to her Goddess full of Faith and love for her." (I)
"None of them wonder about the roots in their bodies or how they are able to move their bodies so perfectly." (I)
It took me a while to realize since I couldn't get too close to groups of them and had to capture the targets without being noticed, but these roots are continuously controlling their bodies.
In more than one case I see the bodies moving before people notice, there have also been several times where the attack changes direction or momentum during the attack as if it is correcting itself while carrying out the attack.
"When you are born with a collar around your neck you consider it normal, as things have always been like this in their minds it has become normal, just as living in a different environment is only strange at first." (Ragnar)
"All living creatures adapt to the environment around them, this is a survival instinct, this adaptation is not just physical and can adapt the mind as well." (Ragnar)
"Look at this body, even without the roots its hair and eyes are green, its blood has a texture more similar to sap than blood even though it is red." (Ragnar)
"I know Master doesn't want to hurt these people, but what will happen if this Demonic Goddess is defeated? What will happen to the people on this planet?" (I)
"I'm not sure, but this and the next generation will be troubled for sure, there may be religious battles between them or something, but that's not our problem, leave it in the hands of the Gods." (Ragnar)
"I understand that, but Master is not one to leave loose ends or let others finish what he started." (I)
"..." (Ragnar)
"You're right, but I don't know what he can do..." (Ragnar)
"..." (I)
Suddenly we both feel something, then I become particles of blood sinking into the earth while avoiding the roots and Ragnar becomes Demonic Energy invading a nearby tree.
The man we had captured was already inside me, stored in a space within the drops of my blood just like many others.
"I saw him coming that way." (Man A)
"I told you we wouldn't catch up to him, why don't you listen?" (Woman A)
"But we have to deliver the message..." (Man A)
"That message won't do any good, there are so many creatures that most of the high-ranking hunters haven't been back to town for days since it started." (Woman A)
"Even the youngest or weakest hunters are forming larger and larger groups, just leave the strong alone, I'm sure the Goddess is guiding them to stop the worst monsters and Corrupted." (Woman A)
"You must be right..." (Man A)
"I know I'm right, now let's go back, we don't have time to waste here, we're swamped with work." (Woman A)
After the two disappear to the point of not feeling their presence, I feel the one who secretly watches them disappear, they were being protected without knowing it.
When everything seemed clear Ragnar and I emerged once again.
"Was it just me or are those two decoys?" (I)
"Just your impression, the people of this world have very simple thinking, they never thought of using each other as bait because they are super protected and guided by the Goddess they follow." (Ragnar)
"Now let's go, we have to create a big one in the middle of the continent to blame all these monsters, we can use that old battlefield as a source while I spread the miasma from there." (Ragnar)
"I prefer to hunt the old-fashioned way, I hate these complex and indirect plans." (I)
"I prefer frontline fights, but we have no choice, we have to undermine the enemy forces, tire them out, and remove their most problematic individuals for the next stage of the plan." (Ragnar)
"What are you two doing!?" (Sakura)
"Go to work!" (Sakura)
"..." (me/Ragnar)
A flower with 6 petals in purple flames appears from the ground forming a flaming head that begins to speak in Sakura's voice, of all of us her work must be one of the worst, but she became very annoying as the days went by.
I exchange a look with Ragnar and we both run away not wanting to spend any more time listening to her complaints.

Pov Elizabeth's:
I was inside the barrier, seeing Zenos and the planet not far from him from afar, everything in this place was as complicated as I remember.
"Are you sure not to participate in his plans?" (Rosane)
"I would have little use in that plan, even Natasha is just a source of potions for him in that plan, only Caitlyn is truly useful." (I)
"But you still think she's going to fail." (I)
"Even without counting the infinite variables of this plan, none of this matters if they can't fight against her, at that time 2 champions and a Saint died, that's just in the fight against her and her Heroes." (Rosane)
"I remember, I wasn't present, but there was no Deity who didn't hear about that battle." (I)
"Her biggest problem is her 2 bodies and her regeneration, she drains the vitality of the world and her slaves by constantly recovering, the elemental power also has little effect on her." (Rosane)
"Her physical body is almost indestructible for physical attacks and her real body has the same quality for magical attacks, the Spiritual damage is something irrelevant that does not even affect her and spreads to her slaves." (Rosane)
"Her attack power can be countered, but her defenses and regeneration are annoying, any carelessness can be taken against us." (Rosane)
"You're right and not every God can act against her, the Gods are busier than Mortals realize, but my little brother is someone who plays dirty, I make this plan for him is just to prepare the ground before his big move." (I)

POV ??? (???):
This time I was in the garden looking at the sky, the two Suns seem normal, but for some reason, I feel something uncomfortable.
"Maybe this body needs more rest..." (I)
I've been awake for days because of the recent Beast calamities, this is the first case in over 1000 years that I didn't cause.
I usually create plant type monsters or gather the miasma of an area creating a few monsters to help strengthen my army, when they fight on their own it's much better than having to control them all by dividing my attention.
Of course, my goal is not to kill them but to give them challenges that push their strength to the limit, but this time something was out of the ordinary.
My first thought was that something was wrong with the barrier around us, but I can feel that it's as strong and stable as ever, those bastards are still trying to trap me.
Then I thought it might be an attack, someone trying to undermine my strength, but I saw nothing but beast-type monsters and a few Undead, that's when a Blood Elemental appeared wearing crystallized miasma armor, he was seen in a ancient battlefield from before my power spread across this world, a useless war waged for the futile reasons of mortals.
I didn't think that leaving that place aside would bring such a sudden problem, but I used the World Tree to track the miasma of the entire continent and it seems to originate from there, there is no mistake about that.
"(Then why do I feel so uncomfortable?)" (I)
For the moment I sent my Hero to quickly take care of the Blood Elemental while my Saint continues to study the strange flowers proliferating throughout my world.
"These flowers and the monsters appeared at almost the same time, are they connected?" (I)
I was trying to think more about it, but this feeling was becoming worse and worse as if there was something poking at me all the time, so I looked up once more.
"..." (I)
It was almost instinctive, whenever I felt something bothering me I looked up and on every occasion, it was always in the direction of the 2 Suns or the Moon if it was during the night.
"Get out of the way, you're in the way!" (I)
I move my hands to the sides as each of the two spheres I created in the heavens separate into different directions.
If I couldn't find what was wrong in a clear sky and my vision always goes to the same place, then my power must have detected something I didn't yet understand and as if confirming my suspicions, when I moved the two spheres in the sky apart a third revealed itself.
It was a sphere of purple fire, unlike my spheres it was much more similar to a real Sun if it weren't for the strange color, but what irritated me was the sky turning purple while the light falling on me had traces of Holy Power, there was Someone has been deceiving me all this time, probably all these strange events have the same source, which made my fury burn even more at being so underestimated.
"WHO'S THERE!!!???" (I)
"I'LL DESTROY YOU BECAUSE OF THIS!!!!" (I)
