Chapter 461: Descent of a deity

A teleportation spell was one of the hardest spells to do as it required a lot of time, mana, and knowledge to be able to use. Now that was just a normal teleportation spell, but a forced teleportation spell was three times harder to do. A normal teleportation spell was easy to break free from, as long as you resist a little with your mana, you'll be able to stop from teleporting. On the other hand, a forced teleportation spell disrupts one's mana flow for a short period of time making them unable to resist the spell. Still to use such a spell would require a ton of time and it's not a spell that could be used in a fight without preparations, so the spell was mostly used as a trap.

...

After teleporting the first thing the group noticed was that they were in a large room that could fit a village in it. Not only was it huge and spacious it was also made of gold and orichalcum. There were also various mirrors inside the room. Aside from the mirrors and some decorations the room was pretty empty with nothing worthy of note.

"Damn it, that slimy bastard got us! I knew that he was going to do something, I should've been warier when I saw that he had no guards while facing us. To actually use a force teleportation spell as a trap... Where the f*ck are we?!" Mir shouted in frustration and his voice echoed through the room. While Mir was getting excessively angry at the situation they were in, Kor was on the ground looking a bit lifeless, as his eyes lost their luster. Mir finally noticed that there was something wrong with his brother and approached him.

"Big brother, is everything alright?" As he got near Mir could hear Kor mumbling something under his breath.

"I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed." Kor kept on repeating the same thing over and over again. Mir hugged his broken brother and held his tears from flowing out.

"It's not your fault Big brother. That bastard was never going to listen to us, he was just there to mock us. So it's not your fault, and this is not the end."

While Mir was consoling Kor, Valdel spoke to Ren. "Did you know about that trap?... Why am I even asking such a stupid question, of course, you knew about it. I can already guess what you want to happen, you know sometimes it would be nice if you told us what you're planning before you do something,... I hope we can survive this ordeal."

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid about? The worst thing that could happen is just death. Also even if we avoided that teleportation spell, we would still need to fight here eventually so why not just get it over with."

"Ren do you need me to fight with you? In my current state, I do have the knowledge on how to fight deities, but with my body still adapting to my newfound abilities, I might not be as effective in battle." Lara interjected as she sensed the divine aura increasing, meaning a deity was about to descend.

"When have I ever asked for help in battle? I will deal with her myself, all you need to focus on is to protect those two." Ren gestured at Kor and Mir.

"Very well, I hope you have a great battle." Lara approached Kor and Mir and told them to stay by her side.

"Tsk, I want to fight alongside you, but with my current power, I'll be nothing more than a liability... Even after regaining my past life's memories, I'm still so weak... Damn it! Next time Ren, I promise next time no matter the opponent I'll be fighting by your side. So you better win this one!" After saying his piece, Valdel went to the corner of the room alongside Lara and the others.

Ren then took out Snertal from his shadow and waited for the Goddess of Light to descend. The room was slowly being filled with very pure mana, and what Ren could only describe as a divine aura. It was at that moment, a blinding light filled the room. As the light slowly dimmed, right there in the middle of the once empty space was a woman of incredible beauty.

Even though she was in the shape of a human, everyone who saw her would never think that she was a human. The sheer aura of her presence was overpowering, and her beauty otherworldly, it was hard to call such a being human. The woman who was wearing light clothing looked at Ren and smiled a very radiant smile.

"You must be the current incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, Ren right?"

"Yeah, and you must be the sh*tty Goddess that these lunatics believe in. What was your title again, the Goddess of trash?" Ren tried to provoke the Goddess into attacking, but it just made her smile. The Goddess of Light then continued to talk as if Ren said nothing.

"I am the Goddess of Light. I have heard a great deal about you among the other deities, and now that I see you in person the rumors about you are indeed justified. For a mortal like yourself, to possess such pure mana is astonishing. Still, if you wish to fight me, then it would only lead to your death. I understand that you are a very powerful person, that could probably defeat minor world deities, yet you're no match for a Goddess such as myself. The power of a world deity is based on the power that one possessed when that person was still a mortal, multiplied with the power of belief one gets from their worshippers. So it is safe to say with how many worshippers I have, I am easily one of the more powerful world deities in the current era. So how about instead of fighting me, you become my representative in the mortal world? As my representative, you would have the most authority second only to my own. If you want to, you can easily stop the oppression of the Demi-humans. Just one word from me and my worshippers will treat the demi-humans as equals. So how about it, are you willing to be mine?"

The Goddess of Light showed a bright smile on her face, expecting Ren to agree with her proposal. She was confident that there was no downside in her proposal, that Ren would have no reason to refuse.

"Are you done talking?" Ren yawned as he asked that question, which confused the Goddess of Light.

"Huh?"

"You kept on yapping on and on saying so many things that I don't really care about. Still, let me give you an answer to that proposal of yours." Ren summoned a spear from his shadow and threw it at the Goddess of Light's face. The Goddess caught the spear and disintegrated it as she glared at Ren.

"Now that you know my answer, let's get started!"

"Foolish, arrogant mortal! It would seem that your pride has been inflated simply because you have that fancy title of Strongest Mortal Soul. Allow me to bring that pride of yours down a notch!" The Goddess of Light roared in anger as she felt insulted by Ren's lack of reverence by challenging her in such a way.
