Chapter 576: Trading With The Goddess Kalistos
I was very worried if I had managed to get the attention of the Demon Goddess Kalistos, because of that I had already started to think about some modifications to the plan that could give us similar results.
I spent the rest of the day resting, but even then I was still chipping away at some plans for the entire cleanup operation of this place to work without me.
I needed to go to other places on this continent, I had to go to the Poison Forest to visit this continent's Elf village, and then there was Diana's rise as a Champion of the Wolf God Fenrir.
I might need to go back to the City of Blood to speak with Queen Viviane, she could help us with that, or at least we could use the Temples and Churches in that city to get help.
Perhaps Queen Viviane can even come up with a less crazy solution to this situation than mine.
With all these things on my mind, I couldn't stay in this place for long, especially visiting the Elves' village, going there early might be the answer to this situation.
Knowing that the trip would still be long and we didn't have time to waste, I planned to leave the next day.
By nightfall, everything was resolved here and most of the problems with the people who will be left behind could be resolved.
I was lying inside the safest place in this place, the seal room, there were also guards watching the approach of monsters.
It was decided that Anton, Lyra, and Tania would stay behind in this place to work as support, they will repair weapons and armor, create replacement potions if necessary and create potions if necessary, they will also repair combat clothes.
With all this with the strength of all these people, the number of deaths must be low, I am sad at the idea of people from the Dungeon dying, but they are all volunteers who know the risk, and everything I can do to avoid as many of them as possible dead I'm already doing.
I was so tired that I just wanted to lie down without thinking about anything and enjoy the starry sky, unfortunately, there is no way to see the sky of this old capital in ruins, I can only differentiate day and night because of the dungeon or even that would be something difficult to discover.
I was so tired...

-----------
It was late at night, the sky was beautiful and full of stars, I was lying on a soft blue grass.
"This is a dream?" (I)
I try to lift my head, but as I do, I find myself in front of a throne made of crystal headstones with engravings I don't understand written on them.
Sitting on this throne was an old woman drinking a cup of tea with kind eyes and a calm smile, when I blinked my eyes this old woman had disappeared and in her place was a very cute child drinking tea swinging her legs around the throne being too tall for her.
I feel something more and more bizarre in this landscape and look around, a field of blue grass surrounded by trees with yellow leaves with a starry sky in the sky, there were also dark clouds of concentrated miasma.
"Your plan can be carried out, but unfortunately you don't have anything that can negotiate my help." (Goddess Kalistos)
"And the release of the souls imprisoned in that land of death?" (I)
"You also know that it's only a matter of time before that place is cleansed by the surrounding Realms, it will free the souls that have been suffering for so long in that place." (Goddess Kalistos)
"How about the Heretic God Fragment?" (I)
"I don't care, they're useless to me, plus there's no more Divine power in that Fragment." (Goddess Kalistos)
"You must know why I'm doing all this, right? Then why do you keep such a kind expression while showing so much indifference?" (I)
"I'm one of the oldest Goddesses in this Dimension, I'm older than Selene, besides, unlike her, I've always been a Goddess from the moment of my existence." (Goddess Kalistos)
"I have seen more wars than the number of drops of water that fill an ocean, I have seen wars that have destroyed worlds, universes, and entire dimensions." (Goddess Kalistos)
"I have seen fates worse than death, I can see this everything in existence impartially because of the way I see the world, as a Goddess I can see more from where I am than you can by walking among people." (Goddess Kalistos)
"I know that any move I make will cause more problems than it helps." (Goddess Kalistos)
"So because of the horrors of the past you've become desensitized to the lives of normal people?" (I)
"On the contrary, for these reasons, I welcome everyone in my arms with affection at their deaths." (Goddess Kalistos)
I have to convince her somehow, but she listens right, sooner or later the Realms around would realize the value of that land, the Goddess Fragment was called useless and my being a child of the Goddess Selene didn't work either.
"(What should I do now?)" (I)
"This is still a negotiation, what do you want that would be worth your help even indirectly?" (I)
"I wouldn't say anything, after all not much that someone with your strength could do for me even though you are." (Goddess Kalistos)
"But as I looked into your mind, I liked some of the things I saw in your mind, particularly what you intend to do with the Phantom Orb." (Goddess Kalistos)
"..." (I)
I knew she wouldn't be interested in the Phantom Orb itself, she was interested in my plans of what I would do with it.
"What do you really want Goddess?" (I)
"What I desire is..." (Goddess Kalistos)
"..." (I)
I thought I was bold, but the Goddess is even more so, she should already know about my plans and just didn't want to show her interest in it, I'm worried about what he told me, but I don't have time to think about it now, still talking necklace everything in place for this plan to proceed.
