When they had eaten Amphitrite looked at them and her gaze fell on Lily and said, "I see you are neither human nor any other kind of creature so that means you don't have a side you care about."
When Lily heard her words, she felt a twinge in her heart but she was right. She did not know her real background and there was definitely a reason why she had ended up in this body and now Amphitrite said she was not human.
"Unfortunately, I have..." but she stopped immediately, knowing her system was listening.
"Is something happening with this conversation?" she asked in her head.
"No, don't worry, we've made an agreement." replied the system.
She was relieved and said, "I do not serve anyone and do not intend to serve anyone."
Amphitrite nodded and explained, “Poseidon has been captured by a god with some other gods and beings from other worlds. Unfortunately, none of us can find that place as it belongs to a god.”
Lily now knew that there was definitely a war between all the gods because a god had captured them and enslaved them with Light's system. She was reminded of his words that the only person who could stop it all was the almighty who no one could contact.
"Where's Triton?" she asked curiously.
"He's in a prison that no one can break into unless it's one of the gods, but I'll give you the location." Amphitrite replied, placing a small note on the table which Lily immediately took in her space ring.
She found it strange that Amphitrite said only a god could break into it but still chose to give her the location. Wasn't that the same as saying she was a god and could free Triton. Unfortunately, she knew no gods and could only think of Eco who was some kind of angel and besides that he was immune to her system. Unfortunately, she had no way to contact him, which annoyed her because she missed his soft run.
Free Triton from the Void Prison.
She got a shock because she didn't think she would get a quest from the system, but she trusted it this time because it had made a deal with the other system.
"What about Poseidon's trident?" she asked.
" It’s with the false god and only a real god can use it.”." replied Amphitrite, sighing.
Lily had The Thief Master and didn't know if it even worked but since she had unlocked a Goddess class and had an abnormal system was it possible that it could be done?
She hadn't worked for her skills for nothing, so it had to come down to a test.
"Does he always have it with him?" she asked.
"No, because he can't use it, so it just stands against the wall in his bedroom." Amphitrite replied irritably.
Lily explained about her skills without naming them and waited for Amphitrite's opinion. She thought for a long time and agreed.
"If you fail, nothing happens, so it doesn't hurt to try. I'll keep him busy in no time and Damon can show you the location.” she said.
Lily switched to Assassin and took Hermes' Lightning Shoes on which increased her speed by an extra 200%. She didn't know if there was some kind of alarm bell, so it was best to do it quickly. Aaron and Jun De stayed in the house while Damon showed Lily the way to the false god's bedroom. They passed by all the many houses and reached a large golden castle that Lily knew was where the god lived.
"How do we get there?" she asked because she didn't know if you could fly here and if she would be discovered.
As they got closer to the castle they stood on a large high green hill and could see into a high tower window which was open where Lily could guess a bed. She thought they were going to fly in there and was anxiously waiting for a magical animal to land in front of them.

"Are you ready?" Damon asked suddenly.
"I'm ready." Lily said in excitement, her heart beating faster.
She looked around but still saw no flying animals appear and suddenly became nervous if they were just late.
Suddenly she felt a pair of hands grab her waist and she was so startled that she exclaimed, " Huh?" confused.
Damon carried her up bridal style and Lily thought he was going to fly them there and heard him say, "Make it quick."
Suddenly she felt a huge strong invisible force that threw her towards the window and was so startled that her heart beat faster. She flew off at the speed of light and only managed to blink twice before landing in the bedroom. She knew there was no time to breathe properly and quickly looked around to see a large gold trident to the right of the bed standing against the wall. She activated The Thief Master and ran at full speed, grabbing the trident as her heart beat faster. To her surprise it didn't reject her, and she quickly took it in her space ring.
“Can you make a quick copy.” she said.
"It's done." replied the system and Lily took out a gold trident that looked exactly like the one she had stolen.
She placed it in the exact same place and position as it had previously been and luckily, she had a good memory when it came to important things. She didn't have time to admire her masterpiece and ran to the window where she made eye contact with Damon and nodded. Suddenly she felt the same invisible force push her out the window and she quickly flew towards Damon and landed in his arms. She looked up and saw his handsome face and her cheeks blushed and she cleared her throat.
"Thanks for the help." she said, hurrying to her feet.
They rushed back to the house where Aaron and Jun De were waiting for them. Lily saw that Amphitrite wasn't there and didn't know if they should wait for her and looked at Damon.
"Keep it as you have to save Poseidon in the future." he said smiling at her.
Lily couldn't possibly keep Poseidon's trident and immediately refused, “I'm not worthy to hold it. It belongs to Poseidon.”
Damon shook his head and said, "You should have already figured that out."
Lily was confused and didn't know what he meant and looked at Jun De and Kenta who always had an answer.
“You are really slow. Only Poseidon can touch the trident.” Kenta said shaking his head.
Lily's heart suddenly beat faster when she heard that and held her heart.
That could only mean one thing but as she was about to open her mouth Damon chuckled and said, "No you're not a god but you definitely have powers on par with them since you could touch the trident without being rejected."
Lily sighed because a second ago she thought she was actually a god because then she could save Poseidon and the other gods and beings. She changed back to the cleric class and wanted to return to the land. She didn't want to fly through the water slides again because it was a very long ride and hoped Damon had a better solution.
“Do you have a way to bring us to the surface?” she asked hopefully.
"Come with me." he said, and they walked towards the small pond.
He whistled and suddenly the head of a blue horse appeared which looked like its body was made of water but when she looked closer, she saw that it was a blue scales.
“Is it what I think it is?” Aaron asked, walking over to the horse's head.
"It's a Hippocampus also known as a seahorse." Damon replied walking over to it.
“General Damon. Who are they?" asked the seahorse, looking around at them curiously.
Damon smiled and asked, "What do you see?" and looked at Lily.
The seahorse looked around at them all again and its eyes suddenly fell on Lily and was taken aback.
"I understand." it replied, nodding.
"My lady. Where are you going?" it asked, and Lily knew it was referring to her as she was the only female present.
"To the surface if it's not difficult." she answered.
The seahorse nodded and suddenly two other seahorse heads appeared in the pond. Not knowing whether to fly or jump into the pond, Lily looked at the seahorse in confusion.
"We're going to dive." it explained.
Jun De, who was in human form sat on a sea horse with Kenta and Lily and Aaron sat on one each. Lily looked at Damon and sighed because she came to steal Poseidon's trident, but she ended up having to save the god instead. Now she had his trident and had to save his son Triton who was in a void prison which she had no idea what exactly it was.
" Uhm, will I see you again?" she asked hopefully.
Suddenly Damon threw a white conch to her which she immediately caught in her space ring.
When she thought they were about to leave, Damon walked over to her and bent down, saying in a gentle voice, “Always wear this. It can summon the seahorses and can hide you from the false god,” and took out a necklace with a thin gold chain that had a small oval stone.
He placed it around her neck and kissed her on her left cheek, "It’s a moon stone."
Lily felt her cheek and her cheeks blushed and her heart beat faster. She felt the stone and looked down and saw that it was white and had something blue inside it that looked like a cloud. She touched it and felt it warm and smiled.
She hugged Damon and said, "I'll take care of it." for she knew it was only temporary so she could command the seahorses in Poseidon's place.
“Take care of yourself until we meet again.” He said looking at the seahorses and nodding at them.
Immediately they dived into the pond and Lily saw that they were at the bottom of the sea and luckily the water was blue and not black. She was relieved that they could see something and looked around to see that the gold city was far behind them. The seahorses swam at full speed and shortly after they came to the surface and there was land in front of them.
