So… where were we? Ah yeah, I was punching a goddess. A dude which had seen this action driven by hatred, reacted almost immediately.

- He punched a woman !?

- No, dumbass he punched a goddess!

We can talk now ?

I wanted to say something but at the moment the black goddess gazed at me, a smile appeared on her face. Then in the next second, a wave of evil energy was growing around her.

I was in some deep shit there. But honestly I hadn't anything else to lose. It was the second time I would accept my own death so easily. This time again, I didn't died as quickly as expected. The goddess in white appeared suddenly between me and de evil goddess, looking at her peer.

- You're not gonna tell me you didn't deserved this one, now calm yourself and st…

I couldn't hear what followed because I sensed a hit in the back of my neck. It was enough to knock me out.

The red goddess was the one who did this. She took the unconscious William with one hand and brought him to the other goddesses.

This one is mine.

During this time the goddess of good calmed the one of evil down without any threat.

The goddesses resumed their speech to the mortals.

***

William woke up in a place he didn't know of. So he could forget the theory about dreaming all this. When he stood on his feet, a well known loli arrived from the only door.

- Damn you took your time, I didn't hit you this hard!

- Where are we?

- It's my humble place, she said pridefully.

William let a little chuckle out and whispered ,

- Heh apparently she can also react normally.

The red goddess responded immediately.

- What does it mean?

- Nothing nothing, he said while slowly turning his head in order to hide his smile.

At his right, he saw a window through which one he could observe a city he didn't know of.

- Phyre, right? Where are we at a geographic scale?

- Firstly you're gonna talk better to your goddess! And then we will see if I want to synthétise everything to you, for the only reason that you were sleeping during the explanations!

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

It also made smile our MC. He was incredibly joyful for someone who just lost his mother. And it's with a big smile that he said,

- Please, oh great Phyre, lend me your knowledge!

Which obviously pissed her up.

- And you're making fun of me on top of that!

We could clearly see flames in the eyes of the loli.

- But I kind of like you. You're really god at making me mad.

- Huh.. who can't make you mad? This guy is lucky. He whispered again.

Odd fully the room was getting warmer.

- So, in short, as you can see I am the goddess of fire. But also the one of wrath. And each living being was associated to the feeling that represent it the most. And you're with me. Thneath declared war to every single goddess. So instead of a battle Royale, you must become strong enough to best her. And you're our biggest hope among humans.

- Why don't you fight yourselves instead of us… Wait what? Why me?

- You were brave enough to punch a goddess.

- No I was angry, she had killed my mother, and in wartime you don't think what you're doing, you're just doing it.

- Yeah that's why you're with me!

- There must be an error, I'm usually someone really calm. Maybe inpassive or joyful but not wrathful.

- You're saying goddesses make errors?

- Yes! And not little ones!

- Ah yes? Which ones?

- Firstly you made humans and then you separated continents which caused a lot of conflicts.

- Hey it's not our fault if you're killing yourselves, and at the starting point there was only one continent, you didn't arrived soon enough to see it.

- And it's not what is just going now? You're using us in order to kill each other right?

- No, we are not killing each others because mother not allowed us to do it. And we are not using you, if you wanna do nothing, do so! But you will see the time Thveath will come for you!

The situation was getting out of hand, so William decided to chill out a little. In the physical way because the temperature of the room was close to the one of a sauna.

- So how can we upgrade ourselves in order to beat a goddess?

- Don't change the topic!

- Sorry but I don't want to go further in this matter, remember, I'm a calm guy.

- A calm guy? You were 2 inch away to yell at me! And I'm your goddess!

- Sorry but you look like a kid I treat you as if…

- You're really looking for trouble! See? You got some guts!

- I'm still waiting for my answer.

The hairs of the loli ruffled.

- We lent you powers that match your dominating feeling. The stronger your feeling is, the more powerful your aptitude will be. As for avoid the possibility that your other stronger feelings hinder your growth, we modified your memories.

- Modified?

- Everyone believes that this is the only way this world had worked.

- Wait, I still remember everything from before.

- It's also why you're our biggest asset. We didn't erased your memories, this way you can develop various powers.

- You couldn't just let their memories to everyone? This way we can have a lot of strong people?

- If we did that a lot of these people would turn evil and join Thveath. You're the chosen one because you hold so much anger for her.

- Okay, where can I get those powers?

- Calm down! You're gonna master one and then we will see for the others.

She gave him a ring decorated with a ruby while she was talking.

- What is this?

- A ring.

- I know that! But what does it do?

- It's the first version of an object that can create an element. With this one you can make 10 liters of flames.

William put the ring on his right ring finger.

So… How does it work…if it's linked to the feelings then I must think of something that piss me off in order to make flames? Something that piss me off… That trigger my rage…

He closed his eyes in order to focus more easily, then a particular picture came in his mind. A woman with a naked teen, that looked like him, along her. It was Thveath, the black goddess with his younger brother which he didn't even knew the name of.

This image created a variety a feelings inside William's mind. But he needed only one of them. The face of the young man changed immediately, it matched every single drop of hate that William had for this goddess. He motioned all this wrath in the direction of the ring.

It glowed strongly, then a flame appeared from it. And in the next instant the flame exploded, and the ring too.

The dust, all that remained from the jewel, was falling slowly under the astonished gaze of William. But the strangely calm gaze of Phyre.
