NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Divinity is Stored in the Womb.
(Celia’s POV)
Sava: “Why are you walking away?” She asked with a confused tone.
Celia: “Only my wives have a right to fill up my womb, Sava.” I say, embarrassed and covering up my lower half.
Sava: “Huh? Ah… sorry. But, yeah. For female Goddesses, the best place to store our Divinity is within our wombs. I was just trying to help you focus it there, not do anything sexual.” She clarified with a slightly remorseful tone.
Celia: “Oh…” I reply with a red face.
So it wasn’t seduction? Phew! I do wonder why our wombs are the best place, but I don’t care that much, really. I asked Sava about where Divinity is stored for males, but she just said, “Who cares?” as her answer. Fair enough, I guess…
Sava: “Now, focus on your womb already.” She said, placing her hand on me again.
Celia: “What is even the point of this, though?” I ask with a curious tone.
Sava: “The point? Well, it is useful to do this now waaaaay before you’ll ever managed or create a dimension. It won’t have that big of an effect on you right now, is what I mean. But very useful for the feature.” She explained.
Eh, she gave me a good reason. Might as well go along with it. I doubt that anyone else has had the pleasure of getting a… Highest Goddess, was it? Anyway, I think that I might be the first person to have this happen to me. I think…
Celia: “Is your race the strongest in existence?” I ask.
Sava: “What? A Highest Goddess? In our original universe, yes. But the reason why I am so powerful… is due to how I own an entire universe, and I make the rules in it. I say that I am a Highest Goddess, but, technically speaking, I am an ever higher race.” She explained.
Celia: “Why do you still call yourself a Highest Goddess, then?” I reply with a head tilt.
Sava: “Because it helps with getting some beings to underestimate me, and I am also far too lazy to come up with a new name for this race of mine. Now, focus, Celia! Not many people, regardless of universe, could get someone like me to teach them such a simple thing as storing your Divinity in one place.” She said, urging me to focus.
Celia: “Yes, Mam!” I jokingly reply.
Sava: “…”
She had satisfied my curiosity for now, so I decided to do as Sava said and actually focus on my womb. Which… kinda makes it sound like I am doing something sexual. But I swear that it isn’t sexual at all! I felt that she was placing some of her… well, I can only assume it was her Divinity which she lent to me. With this, I should be able to store my own!
Much Focusing on My Womb Later.
Sava: “…”
After focusing for only an hour, I had easily succeeded in storing my Divinity. Once I did, I felt… different. I was still me, sure. But there was clearly something… more holy about me? Sava… why are you staring at me like that? Am I just too beautiful for you to take your eyes off of me? Ah, get in line with my wives!!!
Celia: “Hey… for what reason are you staring at me so intently?” I ask with a slightly nervous tone and expression.
Sava: “Look up…” She suggested.
Celia: “Up?” I confusedly repeat.
Looking up… I saw… a halo? Woooooooooow! I am like a real Goddess now! Wait… no other God’s or Goddesses that I have come across had halos… Not even the Angels had halos… Why the fuck did I get one? This is just bad signposting at this point. Don’t I now stick out like a sore thumb!?
Sava: “…”
Celia: “…”
Sava: “…”
Celia: “Why do I have a halo, Sava?” I ask with a confused tone.
Sava: “How the hell should I know!? Those are BANNED!!!” She exclaimed.
Celia: “Banned? But… why?” I reply.
Sava: “Only those which control universes have halos, Celia. As for why you got one now… I’ll be completely honest, I have not a single clue in the least. Were you a Will in a past life?” She replied with a thinking pose.
Celia: “I mean, I doubt it. If I was, would I be trying so hard to get stronger for my family? If I was something that powerful, then I would just cheat.” I reply with a shrug.
Sava: “True… Can you hide it?” She asked.
Celia: “I don’t know if I can… Do I need to hide it?” I reply.
Sava: “Absolutely! If you weren’t in my universe, then you’d have been arrested by UPF!” She exclaimed with a serious tone.
Celia: “UFP?” I repeat.
Sava: “Universe Police Force. They go around to every universe and arrest those that break cosmic laws. Look, even though I control this universe, I did do this through backhanded means. Not even I am willing to take the risk of giving myself a halo… Now put it away, quickly!” She pleaded.
Celia: “…”
Sava was clearly being serious right now, and was very much scared for my life. Focusing hard, I managed to make my halo vanish. With just a bit of testing, I could make it vanish and appear at will. Let’s just keep it off for now, though…
Sava: “Good, good… Just as long as you do not display that halo, no problems will occur, and you won’t get arrested.” She said with a relieved tone.
Celia: “I never realize that a halo was something so important…” I say with a sigh.
Sava: “It is very important, Celia. As I am not a Will, I cannot, or rather, I will not, take on the risk of giving myself a halo, as it would be just vanity for no real reason. Celia, listen carefully, you must not, under any circumstances, reveal your halo to anyone.” She advised.
Celia: “I won’t, don’t worry.” I say with a smile.
Sava: “No, no. You aren’t thinking correctly! You can’t even speak of this to your family. I am a recluse, one that hides my universe as best as I can. If it wasn’t for that fact, then you’d be arrested right now, without me even having to report your crime to UPF. Celia… swear to me right now that you will not tell anyone about this.” She said with a serious tone.
Celia: “…I swear.” I reply.
Ah, this woman truly had my number… She knew that I very much tell my family pretty much everything. As such, she made more promise to not talk about my halo, over and over again. Right now, I truly felt like a daughter being scolded by their mother, or something. None of my other mothers have scolded me before!…
