Chapter 1299
The goddess, whose current ego was far firmer than her original form, would occasionally engage in quiet conversations with a few of the heroes in the Hall.
Of course, it was usually the heroes who led the conversation while she simply listened. Yet today, they were the ones listening.
Rho Aias, who had shown overwhelming might since the days of the previous hall of Heroes, viewed the goddess from a different perspective than Odin, who was also known as the God of Mages.
“Are you in a lot of pain?” a woman with beautiful violet hair asked, her mouth partially covered by her sleeve.
The goddess silently looked at the reflection in the pond. It showed the current incarnated form of Daphne and a boy wearing a hooded robe.
“Wasn't giving that child a chance your way of confirming your own change?” Rho Aias asked.
In response, the goddess closed her eyes quietly and then slowly opened them.
[Omnipotent. There’s no word more arrogant and empty than that.]
“Omnipotence? It sounds impressive, though in a way, I think it’s just unbearably lonely.”
For an omnipotent being with nowhere higher to rise, the only option left was to look down. That wasn’t all, either.
“Then because you’re so high up, you can’t see what you should. As the Primordial God, you’re the noblest and holiest being in this entire world.”
Taken at face value, Rho Aias’s words sounded like flattery, but anyone who thought a little deeper would realize she actually pitied the goddess.
