[Coast City: Marketplace, Beach (West) Entrance! Morning 8 am!]
.
A small but luxurious ship was stationed near the dock. Though it looked miniscule in front of the larger ships on the dock, its presence wasn't lacking even by a little. And that was because of the pure water mana floating around the ship.
-Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Soldiers marching out of the ship first stood in formation around the ship, and then slowly cleared way around the entrance.
Each of the soldiers had a blue floral emblem embedded in their white armor chest plate. Wearing a blue-coloured cape which carried the same floral emblem, they stood there in unison looking magnificent.
And from the entrance of the ship, stepped out a young girl in her late teens. Her eyes were blue as sapphire, wearing a white translucent tiara. She stood there, curiously observing the area.
Her white hair fluttered against the wind, and the few blue stripes it had dripped droplets of water that contained a magical hue in them. Carefully holding her hair in the big white hat, she stood there with her face filled with sadness.
Even though the blue dress complimenting her eyes made her look like a fairy, the combination of sadness on her face, with the silence that she carried in her aura, it looked rather melancholic.
"My lady, Saintess Everice. Are you sure about this? If we move from here, there is no going back. I beseech you, please reconsider this treason," the head of the guards helped Everice down to the dock while he advised her again.
Though she shook her head, speaking," our nation has already betrayed the goddess. And I, as the last Saintess of the Goddess Aqua, cannot side with those who turn their back on their own goddess."
Everice's eyes showed great resolve as she looked at the town in front of her and the land beyond the town. If treason is what it takes to find her goddess, then she is ready to commit it as many times as it requires.
She could never side with the corrupt people who decided to take the power of the nation and use it to fulfill their own desires.
"But it was the goddess who betrayed us first," the head guard mumbled helplessly as he looked at the saintess. He was a loyal servant of the saintess, so he would never betray her, but even he could see how hopeless the situation was for the saintess.
It's been more than a decade that the Goddess of Water had been absent from her throne, ignoring the calls of the saintess and other believers. It wasn't odd to say that people started wondering if the goddess was alive or not?

And just like last time, he wasn't able to see through the stats of this kid at all. It wasn't just him but the armless girl, and the three higher gods too. Neptune wasn't able to see through any of them at all.
"Hey human! I asked you a question!" He asked as he looked at Neptune with a deep look, while Neptune sighed, observing him for a few moments and answering,
"I am trying to create a certain scenario here."
The boy was intrigued a little as he asked," scenario?"
"Yeah. Like creating a play. Who will die, who will live. Who is going to win and who is going to be defeated? Something along those lines. Though it's a work in progress," Neptune explained briefly before he looked around, trying to take a look at what is going on in the town right now.
"That sounds fun! Count me in! My name is Zeraph Roan Ilias. Though you may call me Zero," he then raised his hand, making Neptune chuckle a little, speaking,
"Aren't you a little weird?"
Neptune then raised his hand to return that shake. But as soon as their hands came in contact...
