Chapter 34: [Oh my Saviour!]

[Alepsia's POV]

"What did you say?" I asked with my eyes wide open… after all, Netherrealm was the… Prison of the Gods.

"Look look. He is taking that heretical girl somewhere… '' Valencia looked at that guy vanishing from there before appearing in a nearby goblin's nest. He killed most of the goblins in a flash before putting the girl down.

Honestly, our interest peaked, wondering what he was planning to do next.

Valencia held my hands tightly while observing the guy with her eyes completely focused on that person.

Though once again…

"How long are you going to watch?" He asked a question as he looked behind him. Hmmmm, was there anyone behind him?

Though Valencia had another thought in her mind," he couldn't be asking about us, right?"

"It can't be-" I was just about to speak, but…

"I have a favor to ask for in exchange for saving that sold city of yours," he said again, making us hold our breaths, while looking at him.

"He is calling out for you!" Valencia shouted in exclamation, while I was sweating buckets.

"What should I do? What should I do?" I was embarrassed to appear in front of him… did he know how we were behaving surprised… he couldn't know, right? RIGHT?!!

"Go! Go! Go! And change your form to a graceful one! Wear that white dress! Looks good, okay! Calm down!" Valencia herself was panicking as she looked at me.

-Slap!

She slapped me tightly

"What the fuck was that for?!!!" I shouted and she wiped the sweat on her forehead," I was scared."

-BOOM!!!

I punched her away in irritation before looking at the man looking around as if he was waiting for me.

'All right. Here goes nothing,' I braced my mind as I masked my emotion with an artifact before appearing in front of him.

"Since you already know that it was sold. What makes you think I will grant you a favor for something like that?" I spoke, trying not to look weak. In fact, if he could even ask for my hand, I might even think of giving him that too… it won't be too farfetched to give him that, isn't it?

"Well. I have sent Amir to the Netherworld. It should take some time before he reappears… Take control of the city indirectly," he spoke again.

I stopped in my tracks as I looked at his confident smile… S-So! Cool!!!!

"There is no point in pretending. I saved you from guilt and regret… Plus, what I am asking is not a big thing either," perhaps he misunderstood my intention. He tried to firm his point. Seems like he really needs something.

'Hey Valencia! If he asks for my hand in marriage, I am going to give it to him,' I firmed my resolve.

'ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY!!! THE HECK IS GOING ON IN YOUR MIND?!! DON'T TELL ME YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!! SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU DUMBHEAD!!!' Valencia's sound reverberated through my mind. She was really angry, huh?

"What is it that you ask for?" though I still continued.

"Sister!! You shouldn't listen to him! We don't even know what he is or who he is!!" shouted Valencia, trying to warn me again. This time, though, she used her speech, making even that guy hear it.

"At least let's listen to him," I still continued without heeding her warning. Though since she was pushing so hard, I was now keeping my cool and thinking a bit more rationally. True that he was miraculous, but that doesn't mean he can keep repeating that-

"She is a [Nameless Saint]," he said as he looked at that girl.

My eyes widened as I failed to control the artifact. Even Valencia, who was warning me, continuously stopped speaking. I could feel her loud breaths through my mind.

'A Nameless Saint…' I looked at the girl with my eyes still confused but awestruck. If not for the miracles that he had been producing one after another, I wouldn't have taken his words lightly.

'Take her Alepsia. Make her yours… your weakening position among the Gods would solidify two times over.' Valencia was quite firm with her approach.

What does it mean to have a [Nameless Saintess] in your empire? It means you can have another person you can freely give your blessing to. You can increase the faith of the people in you, gain more powers in return… It's not simply 1 more, but for someone like me who has only 3 Saints, it's like increasing my power by 33%.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to see if there is going to be a nameless saint in the future or not. It happens through revelation and happens at any random time.

Anyone who is closer to the person can approach them to become a saint for them, and most of the time, the God who approaches the nameless saint makes them their saint. So it's luck…

'But the problem is she herself… she was a heretic, wasn't she?' I thought as I wondered if she would even be ready to follow or not.

"Who are you?" That girl was ready to kill that guy any moment now. I now don't know what I should do. To save a guy who saved my dignity or the one who might change my entire destiny.

As if understanding my thoughts, he then spoke a simple sentence,"Ameliana Reidsa Lurentze, I can trust you, right?"

And then… her entire expression changed 180 degrees. From someone who seemed to be her worst enemy, she now was looking at him with a confused expression. Even the chaotic nature vanished from her mind… she was happy?

'What is the relation between the two of them?' I felt a sort of uneasiness in my chest. What is this odd, unpleasant feeling?

"I need you to keep her with you. Hide her from the other Gods, make her your saint if you want to, but protect her until I return to take her with me. Being a God, you can do that pretty easily, right?" he asked as he looked at me.

'SURE!' I was about to shout with happiness, but Valencia stopped me in between.

'Oi! Idiot! Don't be easily swept away by his words. Surely he too would know about this situation? Ask him his purpose? Something about that girl? She was about to kill 1000s of people, you know?' She was quite forceful with her approach.

'But what if she gets angry with me? And what if he hates me too? I don't want that!' I asked back Valencia making her sigh before asking,

'Don't you want to know more about these two's situation? Why not say a few mean facts under the guise of asking for information and see how he reacts?' She spoke, making me think a little.

It was scaring me that he might hate me but… it was necessary… for research!

"You sure are trusting a True God with a heretic who tried to kill 1000s of innocent people," I spoke as I threw a disgusted look at the Nameless Saintess.
