Chapter 627 The Gossipy Goddess Society
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
In the realm of the gods, there was a place called the ‘Goddess Realm.’
Two months had passed since the temple of Goddess Satin was destroyed.
On this day, the goddesses who loved to gossip gathered and chatted.
They appeared as glowing spheres, a low-energy mode.
Though they only differed in the color of light they emitted, it was enough to tell them apart without causing any trouble in their conversations.
”Ugh, Satin has caused such a headache for us.”
”Indeed. The Great God has become stricter because of her.”
Goddess Satin’s obsession with Goddess Arian led her to steal from the Great Divine Realm’s treasure vault, which was naturally treated as a major incident.
The goddesses unrelated to Satin felt anger towards her for abusing the Great God’s mercy and completely agreed with stripping her of her goddess status.
However, because of this incident, the Great God declared a review of goddess qualifications, making it a concern for all of them.
Some goddesses, while not as extreme as Satin, were still acting in ways that were less than commendable.
”Sigh, I had to put off my tryst with my apostle until the excitement died down…”
”I hope my apostle is okay… I told him to stay safe until I come for him…”
For example, there were those who surrounded themselves with incredibly attractive partners and indulged in pampering and raising them.
Since goddesses couldn’t directly interfere with the worlds they managed, it was the basic role of an apostle to act on their behalf.
Choosing apostles based on appearance rather than ability in times of need was the height of foolishness.
Yet, appearing flawless was only possible because they skillfully alternated between using apostles for pleasure and those for practical matters.
Among other things, the most common case was that of goddesses ‘keeping apostles as lovers,’ which was undoubtedly the reality for many of them.
”You ladies can hold on a bit longer, right? I’m the one who’s gotta fix the mess Satin made of this world. Can’t keep your eyes off the tracks forever, now can you?”
”I feel the same… For now, we can pull resources from a world with some leeway and supply them. But come the next assessment, we’ll need a reward, or else we can’t keep this up.”
The goddesses, radiating a dull glow, were the ones who took over the world managed by Satin.
The strength of a goddess grows the stronger the faith of the people in her world.
Satin, aiming to defeat Arian, put her world’s development on the back burner, creating fanatical worshippers to prioritize her own power boost.
Such a method could never lead to prosperity, and it’s no surprise her evaluation hit rock bottom.
Blinded by jealousy, Satin never noticed until the end, when she was stripped of her goddess title.
To the goddesses who inherited the ravaged world, it was just none of their business.
Either way, they were stuck striving to meet the Great God’s standards for a healthy state, seeking oracles and sending apostles to guide things in the right direction.
If they could properly restore order, the increased faith would be worth the trouble.
But to be suddenly dumped with no preparation, it’s only natural to feel some resentment.
”It’s about being trusted by the Great God, isn’t it? I’d take over in a heartbeat if I could.”
”Indeed. There aren’t many chances to gain more worlds to manage. Complaining would be such a luxury.”
”But all our plans got tossed out the window! Can’t they at least listen to our gripes?”
”If that’s no good, then lend us some top-notch apostles! Ones who are ready for battle and can handle multiple tasks! A handsome guy would be even better!”
Trustworthy apostles are precious to a goddess.
Even someone with potential like Shizuku can’t be a immediate asset; they need experience and nurturing.
This process involves judging their character, considering the authority to grant, and assigning tasks within their capabilities.
Some might abuse their power and go wild.
Such misbehaving apostles can’t be sent elsewhere.
The misdeeds of an apostle reflect poorly on the goddess who sent them.
Sometimes, the ones with the strongest faith don’t have the skills.
They can’t get the job done.
Personality matters, sure, but skill is key.
Just saving a few people isn’t enough.
The goddess wants her apostles to handle problems, big or small.
Villages, towns, countries, even the whole world.
That’s the goal.
But the strong ones are usually busy already.
They have important jobs in their own worlds.
Nobody with a good life will just ditch it to become an apostle.
Forcing them is a bad idea.
So, training apostles is a must.
The ones who make it get the good jobs.
The goddesses who expect results won’t just give away their best apostles.
Unless they’re just for show.
”Oh, that reaction… You still have some fight left, huh?”
”Just kidding! I just need someone who can work! Even one person would be fine!”
”Hmm, there was that divine artifact the Great God gave us, right? If you let me borrow that, I might send one of mine.”
”Ugh… guess I have no choice…”
Of course, a deal between them changes things.
It’s not weird for a goddess to send an apostle to another world.
It happens all the time, big or small.
The Great God never stopped them from making deals with other goddesses when they couldn’t handle things themselves.
The goddesses are judged by how well they keep the world safe and growing.
How well they negotiate is part of that.
As long as the deal is fair, they’re good.
The goddesses’ noisy meeting goes on.
If Satin is mentioned, Arian is sure to be brought up too.
”Speaking of apostles, Arian was really praising one. I read the report, and I get it now.”
”I heard that apostle stopped Satin’s plans before. Even though Satin is… well, Satin, stopping a goddess’s schemes twice is pretty good.”
”That apostle is totally Arian’s favorite. She’s a serious type, so I don’t think they’re… you know.”
”She never listens to any gossip. She’s never cared about any male gods, either. Turned down every invite since forever.”
”Her job’s her boyfriend, no doubt. What’s fun about that, anyway?”
They didn’t have a clue.
The woman they gossiped about──Arian──wasn’t just some cold-hearted goddess with no partners.
She was sneaking around with a mortal apostle──Shinji──wearing outfits just for him, sleeping with him for real.
Not that the others had the faintest idea.
There were male gods in the Divine Realm, but their territory──the Male Gods’ Domain──was cut off from the main Goddess Realm.
Any meeting took the Great God’s permission.
Even then, only when the Great God allowed it could the two sides mingle.
Plenty of gods wanted the chance to meet someone as beautiful and brilliant as Arian.
But she had never seen a male god.
Everyone among the goddesses knew Arian never went near men.
That reputation was unbreakable.
Only someone like Shinji, a man who could even satisfy a lust demon like Freri, could break her iron walls.
”Hey, why not ask Arian to send her apostle? If he’s tough enough to handle Satin, he could get the job done fast.”
”I’m curious toooo. Do you think she’ll lend us her favorite~?”
”Depends on what you offer.”
”Why not try? If she says no, whatever. If we get him, we could even steal his heart, switch teams──wouldn’t that shake things up? Goddess’ apostle──might just fall for a little seduction~”
”Oh, stop it! That’s impossible! If Arian got mad, you’d end up like Satin!”
The goddesses giggled and gossiped, voices rising and spilling through the air.
None of them meant a word.
It was all cheap talk, nobody taking it seriously.
That’s why they missed it.
One goddess eavesdropped from behind──a spark in her eyes.
She was dead serious.
She thought it was a great idea…
This all started because of Satin’s punishment.
Right now, not a single goddess knows about what’s really happening between Arian and Shinji.
The official reports only mention the apostle’s performance──never his personality or character.
All that stays hidden…
