Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 48 The Chief Goddess

-----

Fiere and Aeolus soon brought to a large hall. There were many statues of what seed to be Gods all surrounding a beautiful spring, where glistening aquamarine water flowed everywhere.

In this spring, there were three Goddesses which seed to resemble… rmaids? They were all playfully swimming through it, jumping, and chasing each other like children.

They looked young as well…

All of a sudden, the three of them stopped playing around as they greeted , eyeing with their bright eyes.

"Ooh! Look!"

"That girl… isn't she Aquarina's friend?"

"She is! She is!"

Wait, what? Aquarina?

"You've t her?" I asked.

"Of course!"

"We have!"

"She's our bestie!"

"Aquarina… ca here before ?! Oh god, I hope you didn't scare her!" I could not help but say.

"She was very scared…"

"She even cried a little bit…"

"But we apologized for scaring her, and she got through it."

The three rmaids always spoke continuously, as if their minds and thoughts were connected.

"Oh, these rmaids know your friend? Aquarina is a girl that ca here just a few hours ago. She's also a Heroine… but she didn't join the Sunshine Pantheon, these three Goddesses are only visiting this place because they like our spring… they belong to the Ocean Pantheon," Fiere explained.

"Nice to et you! We recognized you straight away! The na's Amatheia!"

"I'm Amphino. It's a pleasure to see you."

"Aquarina is a cute girl~! Also, my na is Amphithoe!"

"These three girls are only three of the fifteen Nereid Goddesses. Think of them as Fairies of the Sea, although their actual nas are Nymphs. They co in all sorts of forms, so attain divinity by being born as Spirits, while others are born from the love between various Gods… these three girls and their other twelve sisters are all children of Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea," Fiere told .

"Oh… I almost get it, I think," I said in response.

"Fiere, you don't need to bore the girl with so much info!" Amphithoe could not help but tell her.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so boring…" Amphino agreed with Amphithoe, letting out a sigh.

"W-What?! You mischievous girls, head back to your Pantheon already. Your older sisters will begin to worry about you three, you know?" Fiera could not help but let out a sigh after that.

"Indeed! Go, now!" Aeolus nodded in agreent.

"Ugh, they're right…"

"Okay, bye!"

"See you so other ti, dearie~!"

The three rmaids then jumped into a portal made of water that erged out of nowhere in the middle of the air. After passing through it, they were gone, just like that.

"Ahem. It seems that Aquarina is your friend, no? I suppose all children of the Heroes are being given the title now…" Aeolus could not help but ntion.

"Indeed. It's quite sad to give them the titles at such a young age, but it is necessary. The titles of Heroes help a human grow strong fast and develop faster. Seeing how the remnants of the Demon King still remain and are multiplying through strange thods, while the new Demon King is already being created by the world… we must help them grow quickly," Fiere said.

"T-The Demon King is already being created?" I asked.

"I suppose your parents have already introduced you to that being…" Aeolus replied.

"It's not a matter that can be discussed lightly… for now, let's step in. We've made our Lady wait for too long," he added not long after.

The two gods looked at each other after that and nodded before pushing the golden door open. Soon, a large palace hall greeted our sight, a massive area filled with verdant green plants in golden pots. There were two rivers of sparkling spring water flowing from both sides of the center of this hall, where there was a large golden throne at the end of it.

A beautiful and… tall woman sat over a throne made of gold. Her figure was so bright that it was almost blinding to look at her. The sun shone over her body and created a halo of myriad colors.

Her appearance was quite captivating as well, with there being several other figures around her. I don't know if they were Gods or Spirits, actually. Nevertheless, they were serving her, bringing her fruits, water, and other things as she was sitting there gloriously.

"You're finally here, my dear Heroine," she said to in a motherly voice.

Her slender body seed that of a young woman. Her skin was a fair and healthy white, while her eyes were flashy and bright, like two suns. Her hair was long and golden, extending around the room as if it were a sea of liquid gold. Topping it all off, she wore a simple white dress, having many golden accessories all over her body.

Her smile seed tranquil and serene, and she seed to also be extrely sharp, as if she could look right through and all my secrets in an instant. I felt a sudden fear, as if I was being overlooked by sothing I could barely understand.

Don't they think this is a bit too much for a young little girl such as ?!

"My na is Theia, the Chief Goddess of Sight and Heavenly Light," she proclaid.

Sight… I see, is this why I felt like she was looking right through ?

"Nice… to et you," I said in response.

"Sylph, this is our Chief Goddess. Her stature is taller than us because she's a Titaness," Fiere said.

"All 12 Chief Gods have been created by the Titan God, one of the Four Original Gods the Pantheons serve under. Don't worry, though. Our lady is benevolent and motherly with her children," Aeolus added.

"Geez, you two are already introducing … Anyways, Sylph, let's not be so formal around friends. Co with , dear. Sit on my lap."

After saying that, Theia suddenly waved her hands as the embrace of heavenly light carried my tiny body closer to her vast embrace.

"Uwah…!"

"Don't be scared. We're here for the ritual. My girl, I've called you here for the task of saving this world alongside other Heroes. You're the chosen one amongst another eleven more. Twelve Pantheons, twelve Heroes. Got it?" she asked.

"Y-Yeah…?" I muttered.

"Then…? How do you feel about being a Hero? The guardian of humanity against the threat of the Demon King and the other fiends of the world?" she asked.

"Honestly… I don't like it. Can't you choose soone else…? Pretty please?" I said in all honesty.

"…"

"…"

"…"
