Chapter 203
Translator: Yonnee
—
Kalash, the god of fire and alcohol.
Though really, he was more of a scoundrel than a deity.
He would often set places ablaze with lightning, creating seas of fire, and, drunk on wine, would consort with the wives of other gods, hmm… Perhaps he was a mix of Zeus’s infidelity and the war god Ares’s belligerence, with a touch of Dionysus, the god of wine?
Anyway, Kalash had two very beautiful lovers. One was a human believer named ‘Tubasa’, and the other was the ‘Goddess’ of the dwarves.
FYI, unlike Tubasa, the ‘Goddess’ did not have a name. She was too noble a being to be pinned down by any one name, or so they say.
In this messed-up dwarf mythology, Kalash and the Goddess had a daughter. In a drunken stupor, the crazy god cut off his daughter’s leg.
Being half-god, half-human, it could have been reattached… but would that mad god stop there?
When the Goddess tried to retrieve her daughter’s leg, Kalash had already given it to Tubasa, his believer-lover.
What Tubasa might have done with it, out of jealousy, is left to everyone’s imagination…
So, what did the ‘Goddess’, learning of all this too late, do?
She was livid, to say the least.
She immediately declared her separation from Kalash, stole his power, and then bestowed a portion of it upon the beings of the earth.
Naturally, this enraged Kalash.
But if she had stopped there, she wouldn’t have been the lover who endured that rascal Kalash!
Over him was a flying Goddess, who, in a fiery rage, stole one of Kalash’s precious artifacts and bestowed it upon the dwarves!
That artifact was the ‘anvil’. The iron age had truly begun.
“…So, are you saying I am the incarnation of that Goddess?”
“Incarnation? The Goddess is the Goddess herself!”
Reina sat down, massaging her forehead as a massive headache approached, while Wuran and the other Tusa dwarves made a fuss.
“Oh my! Are you in pain, Goddess?”
“I’m not a goddess…”
“Quickly, bring water and medicine! The Goddess has great deeds to perform!”
“Guys, I keep telling you, I’m not a goddess…”
Despite her earnest denials of her divine identity, it was doubtful that those who had already witnessed Shan’s divine power would listen.
“Yes! Bring that miracle medicine the merchant brought!”
“Seriously, I’m not anything like a goddess…”
As they busied themselves, the woman sighed deeply, pulling out a pendant from her waist.
She decided to inform Ethan of the situation first. She didn’t understand what was happening, but that seemed like the priority.
Just as she was about to open the pendant, a potent wave of nausea swept through her body.
“Ugh…!”
Both Reina and Leo staggered.
“Goddess!”
“Goddess!”
The faces of the dwarves rushing towards her blurred. She felt as if the blood in her veins was draining out, making it hard to stand. Leo rushed to support her.
Observing her pale complexion, Wuran sighed.
“Oh dear… haha! It seems the Duke has activated ‘The Blacksmith’s Tears’.”
The Blacksmith’s Tears?
She wanted to ask what that was, but Reina, already slumped on the ground, could hardly speak.
Fortunately, the explanation continued.
“It’s one of the artifacts created by the dwarves here. A very powerful magical tool that can temporarily nullify all magic within a certain area.”
“Why now…?”
As she struggled to suppress her churning stomach, Wuran looked serious.
“It seems the revolution has been exposed.”
In other words, the Duke had severed all external connections as a defensive measure upon realizing the revolution was underway.
“But worry not! The morale of our revolutionary army has been piercing the skies since the moment the Goddess appeared, and we cannot be stopped by mere ‘Blacksmith’s Tears’!”
“That’s right, Goddess!”
“Indeed, Goddess!”
“……”
Wow… they seriously don’t listen.
“No… I’ve never been worried… I have no desire to interfere in your internal affairs. Nor am I the dwarves’ Goddess.”
She rubbed her tired face with one hand.
Then Wuran, who had been fervently expressive just moments ago, stopped and stared at Reina.
“Lady Reina. Are you serious?”
Had they not been listening to a word she said? Of course, she was serious. Otherwise, she wouldn’t look so deathly serious.
She opened her mouth to reply to Wuran, who now exuded a significantly more solemn atmosphere than before, but he was quicker to continue.
“Then why did you feel sorry when the furnace’s fire was going out?”
“……”
It was a piercing question. Stopped in her tracks and at a loss for words, Wuran pushed forward with conviction.
“We were already convinced that you are the Goddess.”
He knelt down to match the eye level of the woman who had sat down due to the dizziness.
“The small ruse we showed you earlier was not to test Lady Reina’s abilities. It was to confirm your will.”
“…My will?”
“We wanted to verify your genuine will to help others.”
