Chapter 1154: Quest Complete



Before departing, I noticed something I had not noticed at the morning, maybe because of my head was thinking too much about many stupid things. I had only given it a glance and then forgot about it, but someone was grumpy I wasn't checking.

[Hey Maria, check the damned Quest Tab already! It's annoying to hold it all the time!]

Mister Angel was screaming into my head.

"Okay, fine, calm down, Jesus, do you have to get so angry over such things? Wait, does it really bother you?"

[Of course it does! It's annoying, just take your rewards!]

"I just had no idea there was a quest, when did it appear?"

[Midway through your fight against the king of the depths... And yes it is annoying, it remains on top of all other things, and makes processing speed slower.]

"Not like you're doing anything at all, aren't you?"

[The System is constantly assessing everything within you, Maria. It has become an important part of your growth and power, so yes, I am constantly working.]

"Um, okay, let's see..."

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have completed the {Emergency Quest}: [Defeat the King of the Depths and Protect the Aquarose Kingdom]!]

[You have done it, defeating the King of the Depths, and even managing to protect Aquarose while doing so. You have learned the truth behind the King of the Depths and his powers, the souls composing him, and their tragic past.]

[After learning the truth about the Aesir, Odin, and the past of Yggdrasil, you're left with way too many questions.]

We stepped into the throne room, where we suddenly caught the King and the Queen kissing and... making out, despite their age, they were quite in love, it seemed.

"My beautiful queen, how about we make a third child? A prosperous future await us now," the King said, kissing her neck.

"W-Wait, dear, there are guests!" the Queen panicked as the two gasped in disbelief.

"Yo." I said. "We've come to say our goodbyes, we'll get going."

"W-Wait, you're going away already?!" the King asked. "Ahem! I-I mean... Why so suddenly? I thought you would stay at least a few weeks? There are many things you have yet to see and explore, we would offer you the best we can to our heroes too..."

"Yeah, why the hurry?" the Queen asked.

"I'm really grateful for all the hospitality!" I said. "It has been a nice couple of days, to be honest... I don't think we'll ever forget them, right guys?"

Everyone agreed as I asked them, they had a good time.

"However, we really need to get going, for personal stuff... And we wouldn't really want to get you all involved in our personal stuff," I said. "For your own safety..."

The King and the Queen looked at one another, nodding.

"I suppose this is a farewell then, Goddess Maria," the King said. "It has been truly an honor to have you here with us. And please, always remember that our kind will be eternally grateful to what you've done. If you ever require help, please, don't hesitate to call for our aid." "Indeed," the Queen nodded. "You were truly a miracle for all of us... You and your people, we shall never forget you. Preparations for gold statues of all of you are already under construction! We'll place them all in the hall of honor, a new building we'll create through the expansion of our territory."

"W-Wait, what?!" I asked. "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Hahaha! Hardly! We shall also open a church to pray for you, Goddess Maria!" the King

laughed stroking his long beard.

These guys are really quite something...
