Chapter 417: The Pantheon’s Favor
After Phelena revealed to us that the latest earthquake had been caused by the summoning of the Demon King into the world, we stood silent for a moment, not knowing if she was warning us or blaming us for it.
The goddess explained that the demon king had appeared in her world once before, during the times when she brought the first sage.
"Alejandro..." I muttered, prompting Phelena to nod affirmatively.
Unlike Melina and me, who arrived in this world before the king was summoned, Alejandro arrived in a world plagued by war caused by the devils, which led him to take action against them from the very beginning.
Still, when I read the notes from the previous reincarnated sages, they stated they had failed the mission Phelena gave them, so I thought it would be better if I just asked to prevent us from getting the same result.
"As the Goddess of Life, I cannot tell you how to live... I can only give you a nudge in the right direction..." Phelena replied.
In other words, she told us to follow our hearts and deal with the devils however we saw fit. Nonetheless, I could tell that her wish wasn’t to get rid of them entirely.
Suddenly, four beams of light appeared behind the goddess, materializing four figures in the center that became clear once the light dissipated.
"It’s been a while, little brother!" said Sirica, the Goddess of Alchemy, who had just arrived with her siblings.
Next to Sirica, Hephaestus, the God of Crafts, stood tall and laughed out loud after seeing me and Melina standing there with confused expressions.
Asys, the God of Magic, and Garon, the God of Beasts, were also present, expressing that they simply wanted to wish us good luck in our battle.
