Chapter 866: Chapter 784: At Last, We Meet! The Space-Time Goddess!
Shane naturally had no idea what happened on Sera’s side.
He only knew that the next day, just as he woke up, Sera sent someone to fetch him.
“Someone’s looking for you, good luck.”
Sera said this after she saw Shane.
“??? ”
Shane could only stare blankly, filled with question marks.
Until a figure wrapped seemingly in a rainbow appeared before him.
“「I’ve finally found you, Hero!」”
The voice was very unique, like several child-like voices layered together, with an ethereal valley-like feel.
However, for some reason, the beautiful voice was filled with the relief of a long journey finally concluding, along with a touch of indescribable emotion.
Shane couldn’t help but take a step back, finally seeing the figure clearly.
He saw a girl, wrapped in rainbow-like brilliance, with slender limbs and an elegant charm, floating in mid-air, looking at him with a face full of… tears of joy.
Yes, tears of joy.
“「I had such a hard time finding you, do you know that?」”
The girl floated tearfully in front of Shane and immediately started pouring out her grievances.
“「The Human Realm and Demon Realm are just too vast, much bigger than the Divine World. We often get lost in the Divine World, and after coming to the Human Realm, we got lost for a long time. After following you to the Demon Realm, we lost our way for a long, long time again before finally finding you.」”
“「Tell me, why can’t you, a human, just stay obediently in the Human Realm, in the Mitra Kingdom’s Royal Capital, and wait for me to find you?」”
“「Promise me, don’t run around next time, okay?」”
Saying this, the goddess looked at Shane with teary eyes, as if she would cry any moment if he didn’t agree.
Shane’s mouth twitched as he turned to Sera.
“Where did you pick up such a character?”
Shane felt unable to communicate or understand what the girl was saying, so he decided to ask Sera instead.
Unfortunately, Sera was busy all night and didn’t rest at all.
Thus, Sera just waved her hand at Shane.
“Don’t ask me, I know nothing. Ask her, I’m going back to catch up on sleep.”
With those words, Sera turned and left.
“Wait…”
Just as Shane was about to stop her, the Space-Time Goddess immediately floated in front of him, extending her hands as if to prevent him from passing.
“「I won’t let you run off again!」” The goddess stated firmly: “「I don’t want to spend a few hundred years searching for you again!」”
Why is it that I can understand every word this woman says, but when put together, I can’t understand a single sentence?
Shane could only rub his temples and look at the goddess before him.
Upon this closer look, Shane noticed something amiss.
Firstly, although her every word seemed like a cryptic book, there was an indescribable aura surrounding her, as if she both existed everywhere and yet nowhere, quite mystifying.
Secondly, she possessed an immense power, with the glorious rainbow light around her subtly causing the surrounding space to ripple. The magnitude of these ripples suggested the possibility of a passage or an invisible path.
Finally, his [Outer Destiny] surprisingly couldn’t glimpse her level.
All these signs pointed to the fact that this goddess before him was no ordinary being.
She was a Transcend Level powerhouse!
“Are you the Justice Goddess Artemis?”
Shane asked in surprise and doubt.
A Transcend Level goddess was rare even among the Divine Race, with only the Three Great Goddesses, the Justice Goddess, the Evil Goddess, and the Three Goddesses of Time and Space fitting the category.
Shane had already met and seen all the Three Great Goddesses, and since the Evil Goddess Lilith was like a cherished companion to him, he deduced this could only be the Justice Goddess Artemis or one of the Three Goddesses of Time and Space.
However, the presence before him clearly wasn’t three individuals.
Thus, Shane first guessed she was the Justice Goddess Artemis.
Yet…
“「No way!」” The goddess said, seemingly irate: “「I’m not that inflexible, study-obsessed, fun-denying fierce goddess!」”
“Uh…” Shane was confused.
Not the Justice Goddess Artemis?
“Then you’re one of the Three Goddesses of Time and Space?” Shane asked quizzically: “But aren’t the Three Goddesses of Time and Space a trinity of three individuals?”
“「Yes indeed.」” The goddess now smiled, placing her hands on her hips, proudly declaring: “「We are a trinity of three sisters. This form is just our combined appearance.」”
With those words, the rainbow light around the goddess suddenly intensified.
Shane involuntarily stepped back, raising a hand to shield his eyes, peering through his fingers at the scene within the light.
Under Shane’s watchful eyes, within the rainbow light, the girl’s figure suddenly transformed into a beam of light and then split apart.
Subsequently, three petite figures appeared within the light.
They were three particularly distinctive young girls.
The one in the middle appeared soft and endearing, with medium-length straight hair.
Standing on the left is a little girl who looks more intellectual, with a single ponytail.
Standing on the right is a little girl who looks more lively, with twin ponytails.
These three little girls, embodying soft cuteness, proud cuteness, and silly cuteness as a group, appeared in front of Shane like delicate and adorable dolls.
“I… I am the eldest daughter Noerde…”
The soft and cute little girl spoke weakly to Shane.
“I am the second daughter Violet.”
The proud and cute little girl maintained a stern face, looking incredibly serious and adorable.
“I’m the youngest daughter Selti!”
The silly and cute little girl exclaimed full of energy.
Seeing this scene, Shane confirmed.
The three youngest and least experienced yet most special Goddesses of the Divine Race had indeed appeared before him.
They have only been born for a little over two thousand years, undoubtedly very young compared to other goddesses of the Divine Race.
Yet, these three youngest goddesses of the Divine Race were evenly matched with Poison Demon Camina in the final battle a thousand years ago.
The Three Goddesses of Time and Space have descended.
Of course, for Shane, this might not necessarily be a good thing.
…
Perhaps Sera knew Shane needed time to sort out the situation, as it seemed she intentionally instructed people to stay away from this room.
Shane was left alone with these unexpectedly small goddesses and started chatting with them.
That’s how it seems, but it was actually Violet, the second daughter, who was chatting with Shane. Eldest daughter Noerde always kept a timid expression, hiding behind Violet, while the youngest daughter Selti was like a restless kid who couldn’t sit still, wandering around, looking here and there, like a silly girl who had never seen the world.
Despite Violet’s calm appearance, giving off a mature vibe, she couldn’t entirely conceal a hint of nervousness in her words and actions, making communication between Shane and these three goddesses exceptionally challenging.
For this reason, it wasn’t until an hour later that Shane managed to figure out the whole situation.
“So you’re saying you were sent by Nadura to watch over me, right?”
Shane finally understood the matter.
Just figuring out this matter alone had taken Shane an entire hour.
This left him feeling quite unwell.
In contrast, the Three Goddesses of Time and Space also sighed in relief seeing Shane grasp the situation.
“Na… Lady Nadura said you’re the Hero, incredibly important to the Divine Race, so no mistakes should be made. Therefore, capable individuals must be sent to watch over you and protect you.”
Violet said this with utmost seriousness.
“Ye…yes…”
Noerde gathered her courage, yet could only say these few words.
“This is the most important mission we’ve received in a thousand years and it must be accomplished perfectly!”
Selti even got fired up.
“But you took such a long time just to find me.”
Shane really wanted to say this out loud.
From these three little girls, Shane learned they were sent out right when he left Elf Country.
But now, at least a month has passed since the day he left Elf Country.
Did these three take a whole month just to find him?
Shane felt just how unreliable this was, as much as it could possibly be.
Thankfully, Shane did not know these three had forcibly opened time-space tunnels to find him, not only causing the Demon Realm tunnel he was traveling through to collapse but also wandering in different time-spaces for hundreds of years before finally returning to this time-space.
If Shane knew about this, he wouldn’t merely think they were unreliable—he’d think they were here for laughs.
If Shane further knew that even after returning to this time-space, the three girls were lost for half a month, still unable to find him, he would probably start questioning life.
One could only say, sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Of course, after being found by these three goddesses, Shane might not be as lucky anymore.
“Any… anyway, from today, we are going to follow you!”
Violet directly stated the conclusion.
“Mm-hmm!”
Noerde nodded repeatedly, akin to transforming into Lilith.
“Hey, big brother, is there anything fun around here?”
Selti appeared to have forgotten the mission entirely, clinging to Shane, her eyes shining, seemingly genuinely planning to go out and play.
“…”
Shane suddenly felt his life in the future might turn significantly bleak.
These are the Three Goddesses?
These are simply three troublemakers!
Having just transcended to Super Divine, now he has to deal with three nuisances?
… Seriously, can he make an escape?
