Chapter 540 – 540. Invitation of the Goddess (1)
“Uh?”
Upon coming to her senses, Erin turned her head around, puzzled by her surroundings.
“What. Here is… ?”
The reason for her perplexity is that the space she is currently in doesn’t exist.
As if it had been painted with paint, everything around it was pure white.
Eventually, Erin belatedly recalled where she had been and what she had been doing until most recently.
In order to find Eira and her platoon of Artia Knights, who had lost contact, she crossed the border and entered the forest infested with witches. Realize the lost series of processes.
As soon as she lost her mind she came to her senses and came to her conclusion that she was here and she now guessed her own situation.
“Then here… Dream?”
But it’s too vivid to be a dream.
It is a pure white space where nothing exists, but there is definitely a floor on which she can stand on her feet.
Even her senses are vivid, and her own keen senses tell her that this space is real, not false.
For a moment, she also thought of the unique barrier called ‘The Forest of Dreams’ used by succubus, but it also felt different from that.
“… A strange place.”
She couldn’t fathom her size, she couldn’t see the end, and she was in a space full of emptiness. She couldn’t understand why she was there, but strangely, Erin didn’t feel anxiety or nervousness. Did not
“Um… What?”
Even though she was left alone in a place she had never heard of or seen for the first time in her life, she was somehow calm.
Strangely enough, the mysterious aura that filled this space felt very familiar to Erin, so it wasn’t unfamiliar.
Erin, who herself couldn’t immediately conclude what this was about, was lost in her thoughts.
“It feels similar to when I was with Hyun…”
Feeling a more clean and pure aura that is different from her magic or divine power, I guess where the hell this place is filled with that energy.
Rather than being left alone in a place with no one, Erin was busy solving that question.
[It’s a divine child.]
“Um… What the hell is this place?”
[It’s a divine child.]
“It’s not a dream…”
[Hey God!]
“Kyaaak!?”
Responding belatedly to the mysterious voice calling her name, Erin jumped up and let out her menacing scream.
Erin shook her shoulders and screamed, shaking her head back and forth and left and right to check her direction, but the voice of her familiar presence, calling her Erin, did not appear.
“What, what? Just now, Belldandi-sama’s voice…”
Erin was taken aback.
Unlike talking to her through her own hearing, the communication method that speaks directly to her soul itself is unfamiliar to Erin, who specializes in her five senses.
Instead of raising her voice and speaking into her own ears, Erin felt the intense waves that made her soul quiver, and her startled heart pounded and she couldn’t calm down.
No matter how much she looked around her, she couldn’t see the figure of Belldandy who called her.
[Above.]
“Yes? Stomach? Ah… !”
Her unusual way of communicating directly with her own soul was still unfamiliar, but unlike her first intense waves, she was very gentle and she wasn’t as embarrassed as before.
At the prompting of her voice, Erin lifted her head up and could see the figure of the goddess coming down little by little in the air far away from her.
“Uh… Mr. Belldandy?”
[Okay. Grow.]
As if she was happy that she had finally found herself, Belldandy smiled a little and stroked Erin’s hair.
Her warmth doesn’t exist, but the goddess’s touch, which is full of warmth and kindness, reminds Erin of her mother’s hands when she was a child, and she feels a mysterious feeling of longing and joy coexisting.
Enjoying her touch, Erin called to Belldandy to ask the question that popped into her head.
“Berdandy?”
[Why is that?]
“That… Where is this place?”
[This is part of the ‘stairway’ that belongs to the boundary between the lower world and the divine world.]
“… Stairs?”
She looked around her again, but she put on a bewildered expression as she checked this space where nothing was visible, let alone ‘stairs’.
Seeing her face and reading what she was thinking, Belldandi smiled and cleared her Erin question.
[Whoops, to be exact, it’s an intermediate space on the way to the divine realm. Stairs is just an appropriate expression.]
“… The road to the divine realm.”
She had heard briefly about her divine realm from Eunhyeon, but she never dreamed that she would step into a place associated with it.
Realizing where she was, she looked around again with new eyes.
“Hyeoni… Have you ever been here?”
[No. She has never been here as a child. The child does not need to be summoned at such an intermediate stage, because she has the right and qualifications to step into the divine realm.]
Although human, as an apostle of God, Eun-hyeon, who transcends the human species and possesses divine status, has already risen to the ranks of a god.
“Qualification… Right…”
[In order to call Shinsoo Ai, it was best to bring him here. Sorry.]
“No. Are you okay.”
Erin shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Originally, it was impossible for a human being to be able to come into contact with God like this.
Even so, he understood that there were certain circumstances in which Belldandi wanted to face him directly.
[Whoops.]
Belldandy smiled pleasantly as if expressing his joy.
Erin’s attitude of understanding her situation and calmly waiting for her own business makes me feel proud as if she is expressing her growth as it is.
[The reason I called Shinsoo Ai is because I have something I want to recommend to Shinsoo Ai.]
“What I would like to recommend… Are you?”
[Hmm.]
Smiling, Belldandy turned his head and looked behind him, then extended his finger and pointed in one direction.
“Uh… ?”
Belldandy’s fingertips point to a huge throne on which a woman is sitting.
Unable to understand how it suddenly came about or when it existed, the woman sitting on a huge throne crossed her legs and rested her chin on her armrest, watching Erin.
As if she were judging herself, Erin flinched as she received the gaze of the being that penetrated her entire inner being.
The terrifying presence felt just by looking at her was like the first time I saw Belldandi.
Erin immediately realized that the existence sitting on the throne was the same goddess as Belldandi.
‘But this person is something…’
The sense of presence and intimidation he exudes is greater than that of Belldandi.
‘No. Is this normal?’
He recalled an explanation from Eun-hyeon that although Belldandi, who manifested in the form of a human woman in the underworld, was able to go against the law and stay by Eun-hyeon’s side, she was no different from an ordinary human woman who could not use divine powers.
Rather, perhaps because she was overlaid with a benevolent attitude and motherhood, the case of Verdandi may be even more special.
Thinking that way, she may be rude to Belldandy, but she naturally became nervous because she felt like she had met a real god.
[Sister. Don’t strain your eyes like that. My child is nervous.]
[Joy. Since when did that human become your child?]
[Because I became my child’s child. Of course, he is also my child. I’m a god child don’t introduce Now, the goddess in front of Shinsoo Ai is…]
[There is no need for that.]
The newly appeared goddess interrupted Belldandy.
[I do not introduce myself. I am Urd, one of Norn’s three sister goddesses.]
“Ah… !”
Erin was startled and shook her shoulders.
Perhaps it was because she recalled hearing from Eunhyeon that there were two other goddesses who gave Eunhyeon her powers besides Belldandi, so she couldn’t calm down her surprise.
‘Eh, how did you do it at a time like this… ?’
She hurriedly got down on one knee and bowed her head, trying to dress herself as if she were royalty.
“Oh, I’m glad to see you…”
[It is not necessary.]
“… Yes?”
[It is a formality created among humans. Are you seeing me as the same level as a human?]
“It’s not like that…”
She squeezed the words of honor in her head about facing God, and this was the only thought that came to Erin’s face.
[Joy.]
As she held out her wide-opened finger to Erin, who was kneeling on one knee, and beckoned her as if pulling her towards him, the distance between the goddess and Erin instantly closed.
“Oh… !?”
Erin held her breath as she saw her Urd appearing in front of her in an instant.
She soon realized that Urd had not appeared in front of her, but that she had been moved in front of her Urd.
Without any foreshadowing, her terrain or air currents, she exists only as a result of her displacement.
‘This… Goddess… ?’
Urd’s shifting her Erin’s position to her own was nothing short of trivial as her goddess.
However, it is impossible to notice the omens or resist, and this clearly makes you realize the gap that exists between humans and goddesses.
[Sister! What are you doing!]
Verdandy rushed over and snatched Erin from Urd and held her in her arms.
[… You haven’t done anything yet?]
Seeing Belldandi circling around Erin as if she was too overprotective, Urud put on an absurd expression.
She knew that these days she was spending her time in the underworld using expedient methods, but the attitude of wrapping around a human to this extent was like a blink of an eye in this place where time flowed differently from the underworld.
“Hey, Mr. Belldandi…”
[Hmm?]
“No, if you let go…”
Erin couldn’t help but feel the feel of her voluptuous breasts pressed against her own head.
She tries to convince herself that it is a disrespectful thought for her goddess, but the goddess’s breasts, which are larger than Illyana’s, are so powerful that she loses her mind in an instant, and unintentionally seduces Erin of her same sex.
Desperately hiding her shame, she tried to somehow get out of her Belldandy’s arms, but her Belldandy’s arms, which were hugging her own body, were delicate yet somehow firm.
[Whoops. Shinsoo is cute.]
“Yes… ?”
On the contrary, unlike her Eunhyeon, Berdandi’s reaction to Erin, who was very shy, was fresh, so she pressed her Erin closer to her chest.
“Beh, Lord Belldandi! Another god is watching… !”
[Whoops.]
[… What are you doing now?]
Even when Urud looked at his immature little sister with a pathetic expression, narrowing his eyes, Belldandi didn’t pay any attention to it.
Erin somehow continued her business, forcing herself to endure the pleasant feeling in her hair.
“Tell me what you called me for!”
[Okay. It should be.]
Belldandi, who had fun making fun of her shy Erin, nodded her head in compliance with her request.
When I glanced at Urd, who was making a slightly disapproving expression, Urd sighed and opened her mouth.
[… Have the qualifications. Now there is only choice left.]
“… Select?”
Erin, unable to comprehend what she was talking about, tilted her head in question.
[Shinsu child. I heard a story from a child. Didn’t she say that she wanted to scold the child’s weapon, so she was holding it tight?]
“Ah.”
Erin immediately thought of Eunhyeon and Eunhyeon’s weapon, Brunak.
She desperately wanted to punish the cheeky spear that she had ignored herself, but she was determined to get rid of it, but because of her grace’s intervention and her own lack of strength, that wish was not yet fulfilled.
“Berdandy-sama… Are you willing to help?”
[Whoops. Then. This will grant Shinsoo Ai’s wish and at the same time benefit her child in the long run.]
“… How?”
She said it was to help Eunhyeon broadly while helping herself, and she couldn’t help but show interest.
Besides, how could she refuse to be able to show the cheeky spear a lesson?
Erin listened to her with a positive attitude, as her enticing heart dictated.
