Chapter 1084 Granting Blessings
-----
By Selene's request, everyone gathered in front of the Goddess Temple. The new generation, born from the farms by the seeds produced from the originals, were divided. There were some very faithful ones, and another half was very rebellious and didn't like to think they had to pray to some goddess that just looked like a random girl passing by.
Honestly, I can't agree more with them! Honestly, if it wasn't because it actually has effects, I wouldn't want them to pray for me or something. Honestly I think it just works fine as long as they possess Faith and their impression increases. It might have something to do with their emotions.
"Hello everyone, thank you so much for gathering here." Selen explained. "Today we've once more been visited by Goddess Sylphy. And she has decided to take this opportunity to grant us a miracle, and not any miracle... I don't really know what she meant, but she's coming."
The Arboren looked at one another, wondering what this was about. Some of the rebellious youth seemed bored already, some were soon to leave. However, a ray of bright light surged from the skies, almost blinding everyone.
It was me, of course. I imbued my body with my Aura of the Holy Draconification Transformation, with scales, claws, wings, horns, and tail, the entire package. As I descended, I resembled a bright star slowly touching the ground.
The people immediately felt in awe, stepping back, while nourishing themselves by the bright sunlight I produced.
"My dear children, I have seen how hard you work. And how much you wish for prosperity. However, it is not easy for such things to be done. It is necessary for you to grow stronger. I will give your Saintess a Treasure and a Blessing, so she can protect you all much better. She is my most blessed child, someone you can rely on, and someone good and purehearted that will never betray you, and will always seek the best for you."The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
Holding back my own cringe from saying all those things, I slowly encompassed the scepter with light and then sent it to Selene, who quickly caught it, amazed by its beauty and powers.
And that wasn't all, as everyone watched how my index finger formed a ring of holy flames and sunlight, which swiftly fused into Selene.
FLAAASH!

This is pretty interesting! So I was able to make Selene much stronger than she was originally just like this! I had no idea this worked like this. Maybe I should give another blessing to some other Special Unit? Not like there's any more at the moment.
"W-Woah...!" Even she was surprised once she saw her new changes. "W-What happened?"
The people were left speechless, their eyes directed at her and sometimes back at me. It felt like they had no idea who to look at, both were mesmerizing sights. I honestly was just as shocked as them.
"You've evolved thanks to my blessing, my dear Selene." I smiled. "I will be watching you and protecting you, my children. Selene only wants the best for everyone, and so do I. She carries my will, so I hope all of you can work along her. So we can build this small village into something much bigger and better for everybody, and the younger and future generations."
The Arboren quickly kneeled before me. The Original Summons were already doing just that, but the rest of the new ones decided to do so as well. It still felt weird that because I just left my fairly sapient Harvest Familiars doing some farm work, it would all end up escalating into a small little civilization growing here.

Selene cried tears of joy, rising her arms and kneeling, praying. The rest did the same. Even the rebellious youth were left so shocked they just did the same. This sensation... I have to feel relieve it hasn't somehow made me think I am an actual goddess.
I've only been feeling cringe, and this only has given me more. But its also rather endearing how much they love me.
I'll make sure to make them happy as long as it is within my capabilities!
