Chapter 114: Goddess (2/2)
As I looked around trying to find the Goddess I suddenly felt intense mana bearing down on me. The Goddess's voice then rumbled like thunder throughout the pocket dimension.
”I don't care if you are the Strongest Mortal Soul, in the end, you are nothing more than a mortal! You might have been an enormous threat back then when you were still at your peak, but now all I can see is a weak mortal that I can squeeze like an ant.”
The Goddess finally revealed herself or more like I finally noticed where she was, and what I saw was an amazing sight. It wasn't that the Goddess disappeared it was just because she was too big that I couldn't perceive her. I finally saw a tiny portion of her, she was standing at a distance but all I could see were her enormous eyes.
”Now that you have laid upon, my true form, are you in despair? Do you understand now that in my eyes you truly are but an ant?”
”HAHAHAHAHAHA!” I couldn't help but laugh in response to what the Goddess said. Seeing me laughing like a madman made the Goddess frowned.
”Hmph, did seeing my divine visage drive you insane?”
”Yes it has, it has driven me insanely excited! This is the best! You truly are the best, show me o' Goddess how you would squeeze me like an ant! Show to me all of your strength, and I will respond in kind!”
”...”
The thoughts of the war, the thoughts of my family, the thoughts of my friends fighting, all of that was quickly tossed aside as the burning excitement within me was bursting out. I knew that what I was feeling was absurd and illogical, but I couldn't help it. This was the truth of who I am. I may have talked like some big-shot hero in front of Rain-Senpai, but the truth was those were just my surface thoughts. The truth was deep within my soul was a burning desire of wanting to fight a battle were the odds were stacked against me, an unwinnable battle, against an invincible opponent. Even back then when I fought the demon lord, in the back of my mind I was excited. Now that I finally accepted myself and my selfishness, I had no more restrictions and I can be true to myself.
”COME AT ME O' GODDESS! Grant me a battle that will satisfy my lust and greed!”
”Foolish human, you still continue to talk so conceitedly. Allow me to show you the truth of your own weakness.”

The Goddess used one of her fingers that was larger than a mountain to try and pinch Edge to death. Yet the moment her finger came down, she felt pain. She quickly pulled her hand away and to her surprise, the Goddess saw her finger had been sliced off. Down below she saw the vicious smile on Edge's face as if he was looking at her as his prey.
