Even though I've toned down my divinity as much as I could, I suppose being in my direct presence still overwhelms you,] she remarked, her voice tinged with mild amusement yet gentle enough to soothe the tension. [We only have a short time together, so I'm going to help you focus. Please forgive my rudeness in advance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand continued to pat my head with a comforting rhythm, lulling me into a strange mix of calm and bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind was still foggy, caught between disbelief and awe, when she closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A radiant golden light began to pulse from her form, growing brighter with each passing moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Flash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light exploded outward in a burst of brilliance, forcing me to close my eyes instinctively. The energy it radiated was immense, a force that seemed to ripple through my entire being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the brightness subsided, I slowly opened my eyes, only to find myself instinctively pulling away from the soft warmth of her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You...\" I stammered, my body moving on its own as I scrambled to put distance between\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before me stood the same ethereal woman, her presence still otherworldly, but something had drastically changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming light that had cloaked her before was gone, replaced by a form I recognized immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sharp blue eyes, cascading black hair, and commanding yet graceful features-everything about her appearance now mirrored that of my mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mother, whose very existence stirred a somewhat visceral hatred within me....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fufufu- It seems this was the right choice] she said, her melodic voice now tinged with an unmistakable familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze, my mind racing to process the sight in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the golden sparkles that shimmered faintly around her betrayed the truth of her identity, the uncanny replication of my mother's form was enough to send a chill down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking that form isn't funny, you know...\" I muttered, trying to steady my voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Helena's face-my mother's face-so close, especially with such an uncharacteristic look of warmth and care, nearly gave me a heart attack. It was a stark contrast to the stern and distant woman I remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved into a soft smile as she tilted her head slightly, her demeanor radiating an almost playful elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ufufu~ This seems to be the only way for us to have a proper conversation, young Riley. Once again, please forgive my rudeness,] she said, bowing slightly in apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of her bowing-a being of such undeniable power and divinity—was so jarring that my hands instinctively shot up, palms facing forward, as though to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something deep within me, perhaps even my soul, screamed that someone like her shouldn't be doing something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't bow your head,\" I said hurriedly, the words tumbling out before I could even think. \"I didn't mean it in a harmful way. I was just... surprised. Dear goddess...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened briefly, a flicker of surprise flashing across her otherwise serene expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she hadn't expected me to identify her so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it was difficult-everything about her, from the radiant aura to the ethereal beauty that felt almost otherworldly, pointed to one conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was the fact that she resembled the goddess depicted in the game during the harem ending—a figure I'd only ever seen once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Goddess, huh?] she said, her tone tinged with amusement. (I could just be a caring angel, you know-]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I narrowed my eyes slightly, my suspicion unwavering. \"An angel wouldn't radiate such an overwhelming level of divinity, dear goddess...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soft laughter filled the space, warm and melodic. [Ufufu~ That's true.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her chuckle seemed to resonate with something deep within me, sending shivers down\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't fear, exactly-it was something far more profound, as though my very essence recognized her presence as something sacred and undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, this is what it feels like to be in the actual presence of a god?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Clap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of her hands coming together was sharp, yet it carried a soothing authority that snapped me back to attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her directly, though the sight of her wearing my mother's face still sent a jolt of unease through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oddly enough, it also served as a strange anchor, helping me focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her true form, on the other hand, was so overwhelmingly divine that my mind struggled to comprehend it—a blur of radiant light and majesty beyond human understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Looks like there's no need for me to introduce myself, hm? Well then, let's get right to the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>main focus, shall we?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her words echoed around me, the world shifted and warped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden sparks danced in the air like fireflies, the space around us twisting and reshaping\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the shimmering light finally settled, I found myself in an entirely different\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone was the soft, cloud-filled room that felt like the embodiment of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I stood amidst an endless expanse of pure white and sky blue, a place that seemed to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stretch infinitely in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"ground\" beneath my feet felt soft yet firm, like solidified air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds surrounded us, glowing with a radiant golden light that seemed to pulse gently, as if\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire realm were alive and breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like I was standing in the heavens themselves, the air imbued with an indescribable\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>purity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Riley Hell,] she began, her voice echoing in this ethereal expanse, [as per my promise-and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as per the rules of the last relic I granted humanity—I shall now bestow your rewards. And,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a little bonus...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave me a playful wink, her expression shifting into something that felt almost mischievous, a stark contrast to the divine gravity of her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...a touch of my blessing as well~]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words left her lips, a sudden warmth bloomed inside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though a spark had been lit in the very core of my being, spreading outward in waves that made my body tingle and my mind buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, no system message appeared-no usual chime or text to explain what had just\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the lack of notification, it was undeniable that something profound had taken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I even realized it, there was already a sword in my right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of it felt perfect, balanced, as though it had been made specifically for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its blade shimmered with a faint, stormy glow, a swirling mix of silver and azure. Just the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sight and feel of it were enough to confirm what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tempest Sword...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name slipped from my lips almost instinctively, and a flood of emotions surged through\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>me. I had almost forgotten that this legendary-ranked weapon was supposed to be part of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>trial's rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goddess smiled warmly at my reaction, her golden gaze filled with something akin to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Once you return, many things will change for you, young Riley,] she said softly. [For the better, I truly hope. The blessings I've given you are not just gifts but tools to help you move forward into the future you seek.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer, the shimmering glow around her dimming slightly as she extended her arms. Before I could fully process what was happening, she embraced me gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This time, you can win...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words, though comforting, carried an undertone of mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much like the other versions of myself, she kept speaking in cryptic phrases-\"this time\" and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she aware of what the other versions of me had done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was she somehow connected to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question lingered in my mind, but her intentions were clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted me to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted me to reach the happy ending I had always sought-not just for myself, but for\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The embrace was warm, enveloping me in a sense of safety I hadn't felt in years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her form resembled my mother, which should have made the moment deeply uncomfortable, there was something about her presence that made it bearable-almost\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>soothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Before we have our small talk, and before you go...] she said, patting my head gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her touch was so calming that I felt my eyelids grow heavy, a deep relaxation threatening to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pull me into sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tell me, young Riley. What is it that you wish?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soft, yet it carried a divine authority that made it clear she wasn't merely asking\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>out of politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, that's right.
