In the vast meadows that extended beyond a person's eyesight, gentle breezes brushed past him making his clothes flutter. The serene beauty of the landscape brought a sense of tranquillity to the souls that reside there.
Many bright little orbs fluttered in the sky emitting a faint melodious song that sounded like harps played by the angel. Anyone who listened to the sound ought to be overwhelmed by a wave of euphoric sensations, making people's hearts brimming with uncontainable joy.
The meadows were covered with flocks and valleys were covered with grain. The river that flowed in between the lands was filled with vitality as clear as crystal and exuded a dense mana. It was sweeter than honey and with just a sip one could quench one's thirst.
"Where are we?"
"A good place for a honeymoon?"
"What?"Riya's voice trembled a bit as she fluttered around Alex looking at the otherworldly scenery.
The golden colour representing her soul became a bit red showing that she was embarrassed.
"You are thin-skinned."
"Not everyone can be as thick-skinned as you."Riya scolded in an aggrieved tone.
"Thanks for the compliment."Alex rubbed his chin with a satisfied expression and said"This is heaven."
"Really!"A gleeful voice echoed from the orb.
"It's so peaceful and the world is so vibrant here."
"There is more to come," Alex muttered and holding Riya, his figure disappeared.
The scenery changed and the meadows were replaced by large pillars rising high up into the sky.
Buildings similar to a huge city emerged all around. The wall was made of Jasper and the city was made of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city wall were decorated with every kind of precious stone.
Under the rays of the sun, the city was glowing as if it had come to life.
"Oh!Alex!"
"Long time no see!"
"How are you?"
As soon as Alex entered, the people walking around flocked to him.
When Alex was training here, the only leisure time he got was when he was given a chance to roam in the city. The people here treated him well and spoke to him gently. The angels guarding the place behaved as if all of them were his servants.
He felt weird when he first visited here. He thought that they should be disgusted seeing a human walking among them but their reactions were quite expected.
It was only later that he came to know that he was the Prince. Not many knew this still the major people here knew that.
"I am good. I hope you are all doing well!"
"It's all because of you. You beat the shit out of those dogs of God Of Darkness otherwise we would have to go to war again."
"By the way, why are you here?"
An old man holding a cane appears along with a lady who looked in his 60s
"Grandpa, Hephaestus and Grandma Helena. I came to visit the Goddess. Also, I brought them to see their daughter."
"You brought your wife!''Helena smiled and waved her hand.
A small bright life fell on the orb beside Alex seeing which Alex's expression brightened knowing what she did.
She just cast her blessing and nourished Riya's soul.
The structure of the orb changed and soon it morphed and a beautiful ever-glowing figure in golden auster appeared.
"This.."
"Riya, thank Grandma Helena."
"Thanks for your blessing."Riya bowed her head shyly.
"I will catch up with you later. I need to discuss something with the Goddess."
Alex then looked at the floating land high up in the sky.
"Who are they?"
"Most of them are primitive Gods. Grandpa Hephaestus is the God of Fire and Grandma Helena is the God of Lightning."
"Most of the people living are minor gods. Some of them had made great contributions to the human world and were reborn as God who spent their time peacefully here. The golden orb floating in the sky is the soul that will be going to reincarnation."Alex gave a brief explanation.
Alex took Riya to the Sanctum. Riya's eyes were filled with unexpected nervousness thinking she had just met the Gods and was now going to meet the True Goddess who made this world.
Even if she is the daughter of the Goddess of Lust, it's not as if she had ever met her. So, she was a bit anxious.
As soon as they reached it, they heard the loud battle cry shaking the area.
"Did someone attack here?"Alex's eyes became chilly and he moved instantly.
As soon as he appeared in Sanctum, his eyes almost popped out of the socket seeing four people holding one to Goddess of Lust who was trying to scratch everyone.
Alex and Riya blinked their eyes multiple times in confusion.
It was a scene akin to a woman fighting for a dress in the shopping mall doing everything they can to snatch it.
Cough...Cough...
"It seems, we came at the wrong time. We will see you later. By all means, you can continue."
Alex turned trying to leave quickly but he felt goosebumps on his back.
"If you dare to take a step away, Alex I am warning you. This will be the biggest regret of your life."
Alex's body shivered to hear this.
'This old hag.'
If Alex asked whom he fears out of all Goddesses then he would unwaveringly take the Goddess Of Lust's name. If she loses her mind and curses you to be impotent, you're gonna doom.
"Haha! I am joking. By the way, what are you fighting for?"
Seeing Alex and Riya's curious eyes, they averted her gaze.
..........
Inside the Sanctum, a faint smile emerged from the lips of a woman who sat on the Throne.
The chains shook a bit making a clicking sound as she moved her. Holding a bright red orb, she pressed it near the heart and spoke.
"I am nervous."
"I don't know how to meet him. It was quite easy before but now it seems hard. What if he detests me for forcing him to this path and abusing him."
"He will never."A sound came from the orb.
"He should be more excited than you. He would not have come here if not for you. Everything you have done is for him. Even if you were too strict and harsh on him.Even if you tortured him without giving a damn, all of this you did for him."
"Kevin,tha..."
"Wait! Did you indirectly blame me?"
The orb flickered, feeling a deathly crisis.
'Damn, this slip of the tongue may cost me my life.'
The Queen Goddess, who was about to shout, stopped hearing a faint trembling voice.
"Mo...Mother."
