Chapter 162: The Forgotten Goddess’s Prophercy
As I stood in that divine chamber, surrounded by gods and shimmering remnants of ancient magic, I couldn’t stop thinking about her—the Goddess of Benevolence.
What had she gone through to become like this? How much pain did she carry when she sacrificed everything and ended up forgotten even by her divine kin? It pained me to imagine it. But slowly... I began to understand.
This wasn’t just some accident or twist of fate. No, this was the curse of that accursed God (???)/Outer God—the one whose name still eluded us. The being responsible for corrupting the realms, birthing the Unique Monsters, and shattering the harmony of Cosmoria.
And he dared to erase her.
Just thinking about it made my blood boil.
How could the gods forget someone so selfless? So powerful? She gave everything to protect them—and the worlds they watched over—and they couldn’t even remember her name. My chest tightened with a mixture of sorrow and fury. I couldn’t imagine the loneliness... the crushing grief... of becoming a shadow in the very world you saved.
In my mind, I tried reaching out to her.
"Goddess of Benevolence... are you there? Please, answer me."
But she remained silent.
No words. No visions. Just silence.
Yet I knew—I knew she was there. Somewhere in the realm between Earth and Aetheria. I could feel her presence, faint but persistent, like a distant heartbeat. She was still fighting—alone—trying to hold back the creeping corruption of the Outer God. Carrying a burden no one else could see.
