The Goddesses' Desperate Compromise
The goddesses of the Goddess Department had long since turned their backs on the increasingly chaotic Divine Realm. They focused solely on preparing for independence, training rigorously, and recovering their divine power. As a result, they had almost no subordinate gods or forces left. Yet now, every god in the Divine Realm viewed them as dangerous elements, watching them with wary, surveillance-like eyes. Normal life in the Divine Realm had become impossible.
Even they had not anticipated that the gods would react with such extreme sensitivity. 'More than half the gods of the Divine Realm are burning their own divine power just to monitor and surveil us.'
'What the gods of the Divine Realm truly wanted was hope for a better future, regardless of whether it came through Goddess Only policies or not. As long as the Dimensional and War God fulfills and guarantees that hope, no one can oppose him.'
'Unless we show them an even brighter future, it's hopeless.'
'Our response came far too late. If those fools in the Goddess Department hadn't spouted nonsense like calling the Fighting Gods and War Gods their "escort deities," things wouldn't have come to this.'
'It would have been better if we had immediately declared their actions as treason against the Divine Realm and executed them. Just like how he dealt with the collective mutiny of the Fighting Gods and War Gods.'
'Since the former Main God of the Divine Realm abandoned the realm, they probably think the Dimensional and War God can be abandoned too. Moreover, since he gains no divine power from the Divine Realm and relies solely on his innate divine power, it must make them even more anxious.'
'At this point, the Dimensional and War God and his direct forces aren't even the main issue anymore. If the divine race suspects us like this, we'll lose all control over the Divine Realm.'
'The decisive blow was when he declared that he would forgive all past sins and judge us solely by our divine rank and achievements. I never imagined their desire to escape their conflict-stained past and start anew would be this strong.'
'He even accepted a goddess who was once the partner of the former Main God of the Divine Realm as a Divine Realm Management Goddess. So the goddesses who once opposed him must believe they too can be accepted. Are they monitoring us because they don't want this situation to change?'
'If we continue opposing the Dimensional and War God to the end, we might end up fighting the entire divine race.'
'That can't happen—! Why did we oppose the former Main God of the Divine Realm in the first place? It was to stop his endless greed, protect the goddesses, and ensure the development and glory of the Divine Realm.'
Their worries deepened. But when the management goddesses before them suddenly began changing into gorgeous civilian attire, the combat goddesses had no choice but to follow suit.
'There's no disagreement that we must show some form of reconciliation right now.'
'No matter what misunderstandings it causes.'
The armor that had encased the combat goddesses as they prepared for war vanished. In its place appeared radiant dresses adorned with elegant water motifs, exuding both dignity and beauty. Their hair, glowing with divine power, was tastefully pinned up with jeweled hairpins. Sparkling, ethereal earrings dangled from their ears. A dazzling necklace rested between their necks and their extremely voluptuous breasts, drawing all eyes while subtly revealing just the upper curves of their bountiful bosoms, enhancing their goddess-like allure.
Jeweled belts cinched their impossibly narrow waists—the kind of dramatic curve that looked as if it dropped straight off a cliff from their massive breasts. Below that, their skirts, layered with dozens of delicate laces, flowed down to their toes, perfectly balancing dignity and splendor while covering their perfectly round, ball-like buttocks that swelled dramatically outward.
The combat goddesses' bodies, blessed with exceptionally large breasts and hips, had been honed through relentless training. Their elasticity and firmness were at their peak, allowing their forms to defy gravity and maintain perfect shape. They radiated an overwhelming presence while shamelessly displaying the pinnacle of feminine charm.
The fierce warrior goddesses who once wore full plate armor and emanated murderous fighting spirit had vanished in an instant. In their place stood combat goddesses so stunning they could have been the undisputed stars of the finest ball in the Main Divine Realm. The management goddesses could not stop gasping in admiration.
'We are beautiful, but even we must admit we're no match for the seductive bodies of these combat goddesses, forged through extreme training, or the dignified aura unique to war deities.'
With all the goddesses looking this beautiful, it was no wonder that male gods, undeterred by the fact that they had personally eliminated their previous partners, greedily swarmed around them in hopes of claiming the Divine Realm for themselves.
'Of course, they all ended up defeated and dead later, their divine ranks stripped away, so they never dared challenge again.'
Simply sitting quietly with a faint smile was enough to make male gods lose their minds over their beauty and bodies. If they had only been a little more patient in the past and gotten along with the male gods, they would have become representatives of the Main Divine Realm's goddesses. They never would have ended up in the Spirit Realm Waiting Area.
'That impatient personality and violent behavior ate away all their charm. They fought constantly with the male gods around them and ultimately fell from grace.'
The combat goddesses knew their own flaws well, yet they could not overcome their distrust of male gods. Their constant antagonism had led them back into this crisis. Considering their past betrayals by their former partners, it was understandable. But now that the survival of even the management goddesses was at stake, there was no time for leniency.
When they finally stepped out of the barrier in their dazzling, beautiful attire, they could feel the gods' gazes flinch in shock. They walked straight to the door of the Dimensional and War God's temple right beside them and knocked lightly. Only then did they sense sighs of relief as the surveillance gazes began to vanish one by one.
Dressing up in such extravagant civilian clothes and visiting a male god's personal temple was essentially announcing to the entire Divine Realm that they were all voluntarily becoming the Dimensional Lord's lovers or concubines.
The combat goddesses, too ashamed to speak in this humiliating situation, stayed behind as the management goddesses stepped forward.
“We, the highest-ranking goddesses of the Round Table and the senior goddesses, have come to see the Main God of the Divine Realm, the Dimensional and War God, regarding both official duties and personal matters.”
With those words, the majority of the gazes disappeared completely. The dress attire, the visit to a personal temple, and the honorifics they had never even used for the former Main God of the Divine Realm had almost entirely lifted the gods' surveillance.
However, once a goddess entered and exited a male god's personal temple dressed like this, she would now be recognized in the Divine Realm as his lover or concubine. Entering the personal temple of an opponent whose divine power was heavily restricted, completely defenseless like this, also meant they were willing to accept anything.
'Since we're going as a group, the meaning might be somewhat diluted, but we can't stop the rumors.'
From beyond the door came the sound of hurried footsteps—tap tap tap tap!—and an angel with faint, blurry wings of light, seemingly on the verge of ascending from high-ranking angel to lower god, opened the door and spoke.
“Please come in. However, the Main God of the Divine Realm is currently in his office, so you will need to go there.”
“Office? Movement?”
The management goddesses looked at the personal temple that was visible at a glance and spoke with puzzled expressions. After all, there were no temples in the Divine Realm that used shared personal temples and had dedicated offices.
The combat goddesses nodded as if they understood and moved inside. The management goddesses followed. The moment the door closed, the sight that unfolded before them left them utterly speechless. An enormous space and a luxurious main divine temple the likes of which they had never seen stretched out before them.
“This is impossible—! He expanded the interior space of a personal temple in the Divine Realm to this extent?”
“Adamantium everywhere, and countless divine power amplification gems embedded in the main divine temple! This is way beyond just being rich, isn't it?”
Along the corridors shimmering with the silver light of adamantium, divine power amplification gems radiated light, illuminating the space. Endless vitality and divine power poured out, being absorbed into their bodies and stirring up excitement.
The combat goddesses, who had some experience with such things, quickly erected barriers of divine power to block excessive absorption of vitality and walked ahead. The management goddesses calmed their shocked hearts, continued to exclaim in awe, and looked around as they walked alongside them.
After walking for quite some time, a golden door decorated with jewels appeared. Beyond it, a powerful yet warm divine power rippled, announcing the presence of the Dimensional and War God.
“He is in the middle of important work. However, since it is also an important matter for the Divine Realm that concerns all of you, he says to come inside and listen together.”
When the angel opened the door, they saw the Dimensional and War God completely enveloped in light, in a state of full divine power release. He sat in a chair at an enormous desk, checking something as his divine power continued to surge endlessly. Countless strands of light emanating from his hair seemed to connect simultaneously to the entire Divine Realm. Endless points of light shuttled back and forth between him and the air, exchanging information and intentions.
He gestured toward the luxurious black leather sofas placed before him. The sofas multiplied to match the exact number of goddesses, and refreshments appeared on the table.
“Please, have a seat. I just finished the verification.”
“Thank you. Hah—! The sofa is also made of adamantium?”
“Um… what did you mean by verification?”
The management goddesses unconsciously sat comfortably on the sofa, only to let out urgent gasps as a massive amount of vitality flowed into them through direct contact with the adamantium. The pleasure that flooded them was so intense that even mid-rank goddesses might not have been able to handle it—like making direct contact with the core of the moon.
Wondering if this was some kind of device designed to seduce goddesses, they glanced at the combat goddesses, who were pretending to sit while subtly keeping their bodies slightly lifted. They quickly did the same.
'As expected, you can never let your guard down around that lecherous god. With devices like this, any goddess whose mental training is lacking would fall instantly. But what does he mean by verification related to us?'
They steadied their minds once more and waited for the Dimensional and War God's words.
“There is a saying that those who come seeking are rarely benevolent.”
An eerie killing intent and fighting spirit added a terrifying glow to the Dimensional and War God's divine power. The goddesses felt cold sweat they hadn't even noticed running down their backs.
