Chapter 54: CH 54 Celestial Designers
The Goddess of Wisdom held no armies, commanded no fleets, and ruled no territory outright. Her role was purely administrative—an overseer of the Federation and all human-aligned systems, kingdoms, and states within it. On paper, she had no direct power to threaten anyone.
But in truth, she held something far more dangerous: influence.
She wielded deep institutional authority. She understood how systems worked—how to disrupt, expose, or eliminate operations from within. Time and time again, she intervened in covert activities that could have brought immense profit to those involved—both politically and financially. Yet no matter how carefully these criminal factions planned, the Goddess of Wisdom always managed to uncover them.
She called their actions dangerous. Harmful to society.
Still, they always escaped. They left behind no proof, no trace that could be tied back to them. They knew that if any evidence emerged linking them to these illegal operations, the Goddess of Judgments would be unleashed—and escape from her was nearly impossible. She held total control over the Federation’s judicial system. Her rulings were final. Her authority was imperial. And she could not be bribed or manipulated.
Then there was the Goddess of War.
She commanded every weapon in the Federation’s arsenal—from scout shuttles to dreadnoughts, from infantry rifles to planet-shattering ordnance. If it was built for war, she controlled it.
The Federation had always been greater than any one faction’s military, economic, or scientific power. But even its most ambitious power brokers knew better than to provoke the goddesses. They feared them. They feared what would happen if their greed ever crossed the line into open defiance.
They weren’t foolish enough to trigger their own annihilation.
But that was in the past.
Even then, the ruling factions had always resented the three goddesses. They were furious at their interference. Still, they kept their distance—maintained a certain boundary. The goddesses may not have been overwhelmingly powerful, not even when humanity was still in the Milky Way. And here, in the Uranus Galaxy, their influence had waned even more.
But ignoring them completely? Disrespecting their authority outright?
