Chapter 132 Why Did We Pick This One?!

*Inhales* "... LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!!!"

The highers looking at the newest mortal to be blessed weren't really sure what to think. This one clearly had a few screws loose, and that was really saying something when it came from those among them who were dubbed as mad themselves. " She's ... interesting."

"She's a little touched." "Bless her heart." "Hey! I can hear you!" Serana yelled. Honestly, how could these people bring her here and still proceed to be so rude?

They were treating her like she was slow! Was it wrong of her to be excited that she was about to receive super powers??

When she showed up here a few seconds ago, she couldn't help but be so overjoyed that she yelled from the depths of her lungs. Could anyone blame her?

"Apologies, daughter of man. Your personality is simply... rather surprising." Serana made eye contact with an old man with two crows sitting on his shoulders and one missing eye. She wasn't certain about who exactly this guy was, but he looked important so she decided to accept his apology and just keep it moving. "Tell us then, child. What is the limit of your ambition?"

Serana really only needed a moment to think about an answer, as she had been dreaming about this day for as long as she could imagine. She took a deep breath, before declaring her ambition from the very top of her lungs. "I want to be the strongest and most beautiful blessed woman on the face of the earth! I want to be so hot that guys cream their jeans just from looking at me, and I want to be rich as fuck too! Oh, and if it's not too much to ask for, then I also want an ass that wiggles like my momma's!"

In all of the time that the higher had been blessing mortals, they had never heard anything like this before. Her reasons were so ridiculously mortal that it was laughable. And against Serana's expectations, the bulk of them did. "Hahahaha!!"

"She's a funny one indeed!"

"Hey, tell us your ambition again!"

"I haven't had a laugh like this in centuries!"

Serana started to pout as nearly every higher within this place laughed so hard that they fell out of their seats. "The hell's so funny? I don't think I made any kind of jo-" "The hell she says!!" An unfairly handsome man who many of the higher would recognize as Lucifer, was laughing at the young girl harder than anyone else. "Damn it, WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY AMBITION!?" She finally yelled. Her unexpected outburst caused the laughter of the gods to die down a bit, and they were all giving her a look of true pity. "Child, that is not ambition." Hera said. "Your desires are superficial at best, the things you want will have no longterm meaning in the-"

"Does that mean that I cannot say hello? She's just such a fun character that I couldn't help but be intrigued."

"Be intrigued from your seat like the rest of us."

"Mind your business."

"Oh, hello! Are you going to bless me?" Lucifer and Michael stopped arguing long enough to find Serana engaging in conversation with a pretty woman. She had beautiful and fair skin, with long auburn hair and dark black eyes. The two brothers could not help but look at the greek goddess of the night once again, as yet another one of her children had appeared during the night. "Indeed I am, if you find me worthy of it. " The goddess said. "What's your name?"

"I am Apate. The goddess of deceit."

Serana's eyes went wide and she let out a low, impressed whistle. "Pretty edgy."

Apate wasn't really sure if she should take that as a compliment or not, but she continued on with her conversation nonetheless. "Hey, wait." Lucifer began. "I, Apate, goddess of deceit wish to bestow my blessing onto you, Serana Aihara. Will you accept?"

Lucifer: "I said wai-"

"Sure thing! I can't wait to be able to kick Mal's ass the next time he calls me a stiff booty bit- Ow!"

It took a moment, but Serana soon felt a strange invading force entering her mind. No one told her about the annoying headache that came from being blessed, or else she probably would have had more reservations about agreeing so easily. But a few moments later, the feeling passed and she started to feel better than ever. "This is... great!" "W-Wha?"

Before Apate knew what was happening, Serana flung herself at the goddess and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Apate! I promise I won't let you down, and I'm also gonna go home and study up on all of your legends so that I'll know who you are!"

For the first time in a long time, the goddess felt compelled to hit a mortal. But for some reason, she had to admit that the girl in front of her was... oddly likable. She was almost glad that her mother had asked her to do this. After Serana disappeared, Michael and Lucifer both stared hard at Nyx. The goddess naturally felt their gazes, but she felt no real need to explain her motives. After all, everything that she did was for her beloved son and his loved ones.
