"Black hands." Isha mumbled.
"Wha....Uck!!?" Vinny was forced to shut up by Isha.
'What!!?' Jiwoo stared at a dozen of ghastly pitch-black hands materializing behind Isha; those pitch-black hands had bright golden chains chained around them, and the hands were only visible up to the elbows, as everything else seemed to fade.
One of the ghastly pitch-black hands was choking Vinny mid-air, he was struggling to break free from the hand, but looking at the way he was struggling it seemed impossible.
"Eshwar's rage!" Jiwoo abruptly roared.
[Trait: Eshwar's Rage activated.]
"Hahahaha!!" Jiwoo suddenly burst out a crazed laughter as Eshwar's rage took over his body.
BOOM
Jiwoo's body lunged forward to strike Isha who was staring at Jiwoo with wide eyes, but.....
[Eshwar's Rage forcibly deactivated.]
[Trait: Eshwar's Rage activation is impossible at the current target.]
'What!!?' Jiwoo looked at system window with wide eyes and....
"Ukh!!?" Jiwoo thoughts were cut short by pitch-black hand which was now choking him too.
"You. What're you? How did you do it?" Isha's cold and indifferent voice sounded, but Jiwoo felt like she was angry.
"Grgh!!" Jiwoo groaned as the grip around his neck started to tighten.
"Vinny!" Katline yelled and seemed to have snapped out of her daze.
"Shush." Isha shushed at Katline with her index finger on her lips.
"You. You better answer, if you want to live, that is." Isha threatened and glanced at Jiwoo.
*
"You. You better answer, if you want to live, that is." Isha said.
'That.... I definitely felt Eshwar's anger from him.... Who? What the hell?' Isha frowned, inwardly.
'I wanted to test my powers at that kid, but....'
Isha raised her right hand and the hand choking Jiwoo was released as it grabbed his hair instead.
"Argh!!" Jiwoo groaned, grabbed the black hand which held his hair and pulled it closer to lessen the pain.
"Vinny!" "Jiwoo!" The women in the back exclaimed and wanted to rush forward to assist them, but we were forced to come to a halt because their legs didn't appear to move as they suddenly felt weak.
Isha brought Vinny and Jiwoo back down to the ground and used the same technique she used to bring the women to a halt. Her shadow stretched out and engulfed all five of them, feeding Isha the stamina and mana that the shadow devoured from them.
"Ha, ugh." Vinny gasped for air and slumped down on his knees.
"Uckh!" Jiwoo suddenly felt weak before he slumped down on his knees.
"Now, answer child." Isha crouched down as if she was taking a seat and a pitch-black chair materialized behind her in an instant. She sat on that chair and crossed her legs elegantly.
'Hmm... Seems like he'll take some time, let's check the system and see if there are any new changes.' Isha thought and muttered 'System' in her head.
"...."
'Hm?' Isha frowned, inwardly.
'System.' She muttered in her head again.
"...."
'Syst...'
[ERROR.]
[ERROR.]
[ERRO...]
[USER IS NOT AN AWAKENED. PLEASE AWAKEN A 'TRAIT' TO RECIVE HELP FROM THE SYSTEM.]
A series of red warning system notification windows popped up in front of her with nonsense which left her dumbfounded.
"What?" Isha mumbled out loud, involuntarily.
DING
[System influence increased by 5.]
[Current System influence is: 77.]
[Divine being '????' can interfere with the world 'Earth' after the system influence has reached '100' on the planet 'Earth.']
[Please register the user's Divine name to search for a 'recipient.']
New white system notification windows popped up in front of her and she understood what had happened.
'I am back to being a Goddess.' Isha realized.
'That easily?' Isha thought and closed her eyes to check her divinity.
"!" Isha felt her divinity and was surprised by the quantity and quality of it; her divinity was a little too pure for a newly born god, and even though she had ascended to godhood in her previous life, the purity of her divine power couldn't even be compared to what she was feeling right now.
"What the hell?" Isha abruptly snapped open her eyes and jumped back on her feet.
"What? How?" Isha paced around the room while continuing devouring the mana and stamina of Vinny, Jiwoo, Katharine, Katline and Violet.
'Because my it merged with my mana?'
"But that... should be impossible." Isha mumbled and slowed down because it had undoubtedly combined with her mana, which was supposed to be impossible.
'And why am I so weak? I would probably die if I used more than 5 ripples worth of divinity....' She concluded.
'I have divinity but can't use it, what kind of sick joke is this?' She scoffed inwardly.
'Let's keep my divine name unknown for now, I can't simply reveal it and get killed again.' She thought and muttered 'Unknown' in her mind.
[Divine Name: Unknown is already given to another God.]
[Searching....]
[Suggestion: Goddess who wields a ice sword.]
And series of white system notification windows popped up in front of her again.
'Mhm, use that.' Isha nodded her head because it wasn't too cheesy, but still defined her by a bit because she was now wielding the Ice Blood Katana that Eshwar had given her.
[Divine being 'Goddess who wields a ice sword' has been registered.]

A white system window appeared in front of her, displaying her physic, divine name, authority, and skills, as the white system window gave off a majestic godly feeling.
'This... don't tell me, it's a system made for gods??' Isha was shocked beyond belief, inwardly.
"Uck." Then she heard a small groan, snapped out of her daze and looked at all of them who were kneeling a panting heavily.
"Oh!" Isha realized and released the 'Shadow Restraints' on them.
"Ahem. Speak child." Isha glanced at Jiwoo who was panting heavily.
"Huff....huff...huff..." the room was filled with panting noises.
'Ahem, ahem.' Isha was flustered, inwardly.
'Ah right! I have this now! I should check what it is.' Isha thought.
'Gaze of the Divine.'
