Out of reverence for the goddess, even now that they had raised their heads, they dared not look in her direction even once more.
But when they heard that the goddess's reincarnation was actually Perthward Ward, the shock and disorientation were so great that people couldn't help but turn around to look.
Just then, Perthward slowly turned around;
Her silver-white hair swayed in the wind, radiating a faint divine glow, a dreamlike beauty... A pair of eyes, like stars, looked this way with tenderness.
Under the cover of the night's hidden power and enveloped by the blessing of the moon goddess, Perthward truly felt a bit like a miniature Artemis.
With the same silver hair, snow-white and delicate skin, and a beautiful and charming figure, she was as pure, sweet, and alluring as moonlight.
Aside from her petite figure, which seems to have shrunk in proportion, she is remarkably small.
Even though the figure wasn't tall, and even though her pretty, delicate face still had some adorable baby fat, this youthful appearance couldn't overshadow the noble divinity emanating from her entire being.
As we all know, except when dealing with perverts, divinity remains a very noble attribute in the eyes of normal, ordinary people.
Whether it's the excellent attribute boost, the inherent prestige and intimidation, or the mystery, its presence is as insignificant as the difference between the bright moon and the firefly compared to ordinary people.
at this time--
The princes and their men looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of the princess, whose demeanor had changed drastically—she was now a sacred and aloof 'moon goddess' with an aura that made her unapproachable.
At that moment, it felt as if a string in my mind had snapped.
A group of people were stunned...
(—My little sister, 'Our Princess,' is a goddess reincarnated?!)
They no longer cared why Leijin said that the goddess chose this land to descend upon, but rather that it was out of her 'mercy'.
At this moment, everyone was shocked by the true identity of the goddess's incarnation, and their minds were completely blank, unable to think.
It wasn't that the goddess chose this land, but rather that she chose this 'body'!
In this kingdom, there is no one more noble than the reincarnation of a goddess. As the princess, it is only natural that she should inherit the throne and use it to launch a military campaign to completely transform the kingdom into her divine domain.
Both logically and emotionally, Perthward should choose this location.
If she had chosen another country, it would have been even more unreasonable.
So that's how it is! That's how it is—!
For a moment, the princes' eyes darkened, suppressing their resentment and feeling extremely bitter.
Is there any point in fighting this?! We've given up! We have no choice but to give up completely!
Leikin: "Then—do you have any further objections?"
The prince and the others shook their heads frantically!
However, although it wasn't a dissent, there was still one last doubt in everyone's mind.
Why would this goddess, who was perfectly content in heaven, abandon her magnificent temple and come to the mortal realm to establish a divine domain?
Seemingly sensing their confusion, and as if she could read minds, the goddess above—Persward—spoke: "I will establish a sanctuary in the mortal realm as humanity's last bulwark against the gods, preserving the spark of human hope."
When Perthward suddenly uttered those words, which contained such a wealth of information, it seemed to indirectly explain why a sanctuary was to be established on Earth.
In an instant, mortals raised their heads, looking in awe at the petite figure of the goddess who was now radiating an incomparably gentle and compassionate glow.
Wait, what does this mean?
Chapter 199 The first feeling is "compassion"—what is sought is contact.
At that moment, it seemed to radiate endless maternal radiance, like a pair of gentle eyes projected from the end of the universe, reaching out to protect the last spark of hope under the protection of this planet.
'Wait, what does that mean?'
The prince and his companions were subjected to an incredibly intense and profound shock...
Humanity's last bulwark against the gods...! But why should we resist... the gods?
Are the gods...the enemies of humankind?!
The moment people looked up into the goddess's eyes, they were enveloped in a deep compassion and instantly lost consciousness.
Then—it was as if I had fallen into a deep well and was looking up at the sky.
The saying "God cannot be looked at directly" is not because God harbors any great malice towards humanity, but rather because, regardless of good or evil, the sheer volume of life energy emanating from God is overwhelming for mortals who attempt to glimpse His essence. The sheer amount of information is so overwhelming that even one's own self is distorted.
Even the weakest god, if he unreservedly releases his true nature and the radiance of his existence, completely revealing himself to ordinary people.
For humans, it was something more dazzling than the sun's light, something that could more easily scorch their souls.
Under the deliberate arrangement of the night, the faint divine radiance emanating from Perthward shone brilliantly under the disguise of the moon goddess's blessing—and then led people into a deliberately woven 'lie'!
No, it's not a complete lie, but a 'truth' that's half true and half false.
...Those are many scenes taken from the river of fate, and even more so, events that should have occurred clearly on the timeline of Norse mythology.
Are the 'gods' the enemies of humankind?
When you stand at the perspective of the long river of fate and look down at everything.
When the Norse gods deceived humanity, treating them as mere tools to survive Ragnarok, they were naturally positioned as oppressors and were destined to be—no friend of humanity.
Even if they can temporarily unite and work together to overcome difficulties.
But the definition of friendship should at least not include exploitation. And before recounting the dangers, perils, and harms the gods inflict on humanity!
First and foremost, what people see is the 'benevolent' light of the goddess, which is meant to convince them.
It resembles a dignified statue of a goddess emerging from an ancient golden stone slab.
Then, by a stroke of inspiration—words arose in people's hearts, the voice of the goddess's compassionate love.
Like a chant—like a grand vow to save the world—
The first feeling is "loving-kindness"—the desired thing is contact. But if contact is sought, it will be severed by the moonlight; neither loving nor being loved will be possible.
Ah, what a terrible punishment!
[A gentle flower in a mirror, a moon reflected in water—so close, yet forever out of reach.]
Therefore, we pray that the hope at the end of the next life will surely be a light that illuminates all.
[Life that comes and goes, I wish to stay forever; I want to embrace everyone. "Reincarnation!"]
The radiance that seemed to envelop the entire world, and the words that transformed into a powerful force, struck straight into people's hearts.
The slightly modified chant of Margaret, the goddess of dusk and the fifth goddess of the Divine Throne World, began to play.
It strikes straight to the heart; its subtle sacredness carries a tremendous impact on one's will.
If the soul of an ordinary person is a torch, then the soul of the goddess of dusk is the sun.
The principle corresponding to reincarnation is precisely the desire to 'embrace everything, accept everything, love everything, and symbolize an eternal guardian.'
'I feel happy when others are happy.'
In a world built on this wish, all good and evil deeds are affirmed, the freedom of those who pursue happiness is respected, and even if happiness cannot be obtained in this life, a promise is made for the next life, that happiness will surely be obtained in the cycle of reincarnation.
A goddess who shows compassion and love to humankind!
After realizing the cruel reality of Ragnarok, where the gods ruthlessly exploited humanity as tools to serve as cannon fodder in the impending divine war, the outcome became clear.
The goddess who sheds tears for humankind—! The kind and beautiful moon goddess Artemis!
Even the moon in the sky, originally the radiance of the sun, a dreamlike goddess high in the sky, who was a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water, decided at a certain moment to descend from the sky and fall to the earth for the sake of mankind—to give them the opportunity to know the truth and take control of their own freedom.
Originally, this was something that had nothing to do with her, but that compassion, that beautiful vision that everyone could be happy, made this goddess determined to enter into the eternal 'cycle of reincarnation' with mankind, even at the cost of her own great ambition.
To weave power for the fate of mankind and fight against the gods to the very end.
Just like the Valkyrie world next door, Brunhilde, the Valkyrie who raises the banner of salvation and fights for humanity to have a fair battle with the gods (later in the comics it is said that she helped humanity with selfish motives, so we will not follow the setting here, let's just say that she was single-mindedly trying to save the world).
Because they loved people, they betrayed God!
She is a goddess, but the only one who does not stand against humanity, but rather is the moon goddess who protects the earth and hope.
This is the persona that Night had created for Perthward.
When enveloped in that kind of loving tenderness, even though the goddess in front of you is so petite and lovely, people seem to feel a motherly feeling from her.
'Her mercy knows no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly, loving all humankind equally! She is a goddess who was born for humankind and descended here!' At this moment, the same thought arose in everyone's mind, and they realized that crucial point.
They genuinely believe that they should trust such a goddess and soothe her tears; this is the best way to repay that touching, gentle love.
The moment that thought crossed their minds, the scene before them changed again.
Night: Now that you have understood the Goddess's love, you should understand who your true enemy is!
(As a justifiable reason for the goddess's descent, the night created an enemy for her.)
Just like Athena, who protected the earth for humanity, engaged in a thousand-year battle with Hades and his Specters.
Athena's stance of protecting humanity naturally draws people, especially those with a sense of justice and righteousness, closer to this goddess.
This is the advantage of having a stance...
Rather than simply protecting the earth and humanity under Hades's command, Night has created a position for Perthward that is more aligned with humanity's perspective.
Compared to the nominal claim of protecting humanity and the land, it didn't actually demonstrate much; it was more like a divine war between gods, a battle for territory.
To deepen the impression of conflict and amplify the stance, the author created a goddess figure with all the necessary elements.
The character of a goddess who, even though she gains nothing from fighting for humanity, still resolutely descends to earth!
Unlike the Saint Seiya, who were unknown to the world in the early stages of protecting it, Yoruichi was determined to make everyone aware that the moon goddess Artemis descended for the sake of humanity.
Now that the character settings are in place, it's time for an enemy who poses a huge threat to humanity and requires them to unite with the goddess to appear!! (It's you I choose—the most useless one-eyed old man!)
Chapter 200 This is the final trial, not an excuse for being wrong. Madness—is it definitely God's fault?!
As the gentle moonlight fades, the clear, beautiful moon and the tender gaze in the sky disappear.
Then, what appeared before people was—raging fire!
Under a gloomy, blood-red sky, on a land paved with swords and blood, Odin, the king of gods, and his gods, disguised as mortals, constantly wage war on the earth!
People watched helplessly as those high and mighty gods, one after another, transformed into human form, disguised themselves as various beings, and deceived humans who were far weaker than them.
When the dead lay scattered across the Nordic lands—the cries of death, the wails of despair, amidst the flames of war—the corpses had already piled up like mountains!
Countless scenes flashed before people's eyes.
The meaning of the gods' cruel actions is incomprehensible.
