''Cough! Cough! It's not like I wish to be a killjoy, but can we move on to the real topic now?" Alex, who couldn't take it anymore, finally said.
''Oh My! Please forgive us. Let's continue with our topic. You were trying to tell why you asked to contact the gods, Goddess a in particular.'' Priscilla said while she extended her hands, clapped twice, and soon after, a priest in a maid's outfit drifted toward them and served them tea.
Artemia enjoyed her tea while she waited patiently for Alex to continue.
After taking a sip of his tea and enjoying its scent, Alex stared at Priscilla, trying to read her reaction.
''I believed that the Chaos organization and whoever behind them specially targeted Mysthia, and I wanted to know why. Only the Gods above can give the answer, and having already interacted with Goddess a; I wished to ask her; I'm sure she will give the answer I want.''
Alex detected no change on Priscilla's face when he said there must be a reason why the Chaos organization targeted Mysthia. This could only an one thing; even though she was the proxy between the Gods and this world, she didn't know much, for example, why they targeted this world. She might know sothing but act like she knew nothing; however, Alex doubted it was the case.
If Priscilla were lying, Silveria would have told him.
''I understand now. No wonder you wanted to speak to her. After hearing your reason, I'm more eager to help you. I will go and pray. Let's hope she will quickly answer like this; you won't wait for too long. Then, excuse , I have a goddess to contact.'' Priscilla said before leaving.
''Sigh! Let's hope she answers soon.'' Artemia said after she heaved a sigh.
''Don't worry, she will because it's . Maybe she is already aware of my presence. Either way, we won't have to wait for too long; I'm sure I can talk to her soon. However, I wonder if she will take over your sister's body to have a chat with , or I'll need to talk to her statue.
Do you know what thod she will use?" Alex asked as this was what he was curious about the most; he had hoped Artemia would have the answer.
Unfortunately, not even Artemia, one of the forr local gods, knows sothing.
''Sorry, I don't know anything. Let's wait. I hope Lilith is progressing toward her goal: Revenge.''
''Don't worry, I'm sure we will hear news soon.''
Alex closed his eyes to ditate in the anti, but soon he forced them open because he rembered sothing he had always been curious about.
''Eretria, Tell , other than welcoming otherworlders, what use did this Temple has?"
''Well, besides welcoming otherworlders, the temples have another purpose, which is to be a worship place. It's like a church but a little bit different, though. Their primary objective is still to welco people from other worlds. This temple is the headquarters; besides this temple, there are two other Temple of Gods. One in the Lionheart Empire, another one in the Far East Empire.
The most used temple is still the headquarters, here.''
Artemia explained to Alex the purposes of the Temple of Gods.
''Didn't I say it won't take long before we get an answer?" Alex pointed his finger at the entrance where Priscilla could be seen coming from.
''Wow! That was fast. Big sister, how was it?"
Artemia helped her big sister sit down. Priscilla's face was pale as if she had just perford hard labor.
''Don't worry, it went smoothly. The goddess accepted your request.'' Priscilla answered after drinking water.
''That's good. So, when do we begin?" Alex asked, assuming that maybe Goddess a was already inside Priscilla's body; it was why her face had beco pale. Unfortunately, his assumption was wrong.
''I don't know. She just said she would et you; as for how or when I'm completely oblivious to it. So, the best thing to do is stay here until she manifested.'' Priscilla told them sothing unexpected, but there was nothing they could do other than patiently wait for the goddess to appear.
Alex decided to use this opportunity to tour the temple again; he decided to read so books in the library. It had been a long ti since he did sothing like this.
Five hours later, there was still no sign of the goddess, and Alex beca annoyed. He decided he might as well use this opportunity to train in Nyx's world.
It was at that mont it happened. Instead of appearing in a dark space, Alex found himself in a white space that gave him a strange feeling of familiarity. Soon, Alex recalled where he felt this feeling; it was the sa room they woke up in after the accident where they lost their lives.
''Welco, Alexander. Long ti no see.''
The sa voice and the sa beautiful face. It was indeed her.
''We et again, Goddess a,'' Alex said while observing the beauty in front of him. Compared to the past, when he could easily lose himself in her beauty and his heart would beat faster, this ti he was perfectly calm. After eting beauties like Silveria and Nyx, it was pretty normal that he would beco immune to won's beauty.
It was not like Goddess a was more beautiful than Silveria and Nyx; in Alex's opinion, she lacked a bit when compared to those two.
''You are thinking about sothing rude right now.''
As expected of a woman's intuition, Goddess a was able to notice sothing; however, there was no way Alex would admit that he was comparing her beauty to Silveria and Nyx, thinking she was not beautiful as them.
''Hahahaha! That must be your imagination. I was thinking of beautiful you are. You are even more beautiful than before. What's your secret?" Alex used his silver tongue to change the subject.
''Glib tongue.'' Goddess a smiled.
'As expected, won are still won. Always weak before complints.' Alex secretly thought.
'I should use this move often.'
''I heard you want to see ?" Goddess a said, breaking Alex from his formulating thoughts
