Chapter 278 - Axitl Is Here?!
-----
A young girl with pale-white skin, crimson eyes, and long, fluffy black hair with a tiny black horn in the middle of her forehead sat down over a couch, wearing a simple white dress.
Around her, there were all of Frank's family, alongside him.
"So you're telling me that she's Axitl?" asked Kamei, her eyes glaring at the cute girl with disbelief.
"I guess you had never met her in person, so it is hard to believe it. But yeah, this is the infamous Chaos Goddess that brought forth the Dungeons, monsters, and more… Not without an actual reason, which ended saving the world, actually," said Frank.
"Really? The Chaos… Goddess? This young and beautiful girl?" asked Cathyl in shock, she was resisting the impulse of caressing her fluffy black hair and petting her adorable head, she also had a cute smile which was a double kill.
"Axitl… The Goddess of Chaos… Impressive. I am glad to see you in person, goddess-sama," said Gwendolyn politely, as a mortal of this world who acknowledged religions and the existence of Gods as being that created them, she held Axitl with respect.
"Yup! The very same~! And don't need to use honorifics, everyone. I am here to meet all of you and enjoy this new life! I worked in this body for a while until I finally managed to get it done! It has been my dream to explore the world…" said Axitl with a gentle smile, she was simply incredibly happy to meet new people and this new world.
Before coming here, she walked around forests, plains, and even slept over the park of the city… Afterward, Frank showed her tons of food stalls and she tried everything. She couldn't be happier than now at this moment.
"And she's so casual over it…" said Annabelle, as her fox tail was as stiff as a stick.
"Well, nice to meet ya, lady goddess!" said Asterion rather carefreely, as he extended his hand.
"Hand?" asked Axitl, she didn't know about this type of greeting.
"TO greet someone you sometimes grasp their hand," said Frank.
"Oooh! I see, nice to meet you, Asterion!" said Axitl, as she extended her hand and grabbed Asterion's hand, although she put too much strength and Asterion barely held it with his own strength, although his hand was all red afterward.
"Ouch… so this is the might of a goddess…" he sighed. Even as a Rank 5 Magus with a lot of Strength Stat, the Goddess was mightier!
Everyone sighed and decided to simply accept this unlikely event, greeting Axitl with happy smiles to make her feel welcomed.
They already kind of knew her story as Frank had told them that she was simply misunderstood by the people.
Before she even came here, he had told them from what he had learned by meeting her a few times that she was in fact like a little girl that always wanted love and a family.
Since she was born that Axitl felt desolated, alone, and sorrowful.
Many times she wished for all those thousands of years to be with someone at her side, that could teach her things better.
But all the Gods were slumbering, and through this time, she grew without anyone to talk to her, without anyone to greet her, becoming warped and a bit childish.
She always spoke to herself through thousands of years and had even generated many split minds of her own, which only made her become… a bit insane.
Her heart was always filled with loneliness and depression, and it was until Aztraloth was tamed by her that she began to recover…
The Gods woke up, but they neglected her because she was too strong and strange compared to them, and because… she also represented their mistake.
Gods are prideful beings, and they would often never recognize the mistakes they have committed.
Axitl was born from the leftover miasma and chaos left when they created the world of Terra, her entire living existence came to be because the Gods were not able to properly construct a world due to their inexperience.
Due to this, she was the literal embodiment of their mistake, and so was the Demon King, her sibling.
However, they were unaware of the complete truth behind her actions, she had become stronger not by her own will but because she was trying to contain the overflowing miasma of the world's underground.
She created Dungeons to absorb it and redirect it all to her, which was the only living being aside from the Demon King itself that could properly sustain all of this contamination, miasma, and chaos.
Due to that, she grew immensely strong, and also managed to lower the amount of miasma in Terra by 80% through all these years.
The Demon King emerged every 1000 years before, but now, it was every 100.000 years.
With this, life now had chances of properly flourish and forge new beings to fight back against it.
However, because of the monsters generated inside dungeons which were an aftereffect of the residual miasma that she was not able to properly refine and absorb, she was seen as an evil goddess that desired the destruction of the world… even when she was the one that has helped it the most of all the Gods present.
And if it weren't because of monsters, the meat they bring, the mana cores, materials, and the treasures generated inside dungeons, mortals would never be able to sustain themselves after each coming of the Demon King, so she was singlehandedly nourishing the survivors as well.
Very few normal animals existed in the world after the first five comings of the Demo King, and monsters made most of the population, they brought food, materials, and many more things for mortals to sustain themselves and thrive, something that the other Gods, who were all weakened, could not properly do anymore.
They knew all of this, and this is why Gwendolyn was being so respectful with her.
Without Axitl's good heart, they wouldn't be alive now.
Even though she committed mistakes before… Frank had already forgiven her, and there was o reason to treat badly someone that only desired to be accepted and loved.
Gwendolyn embraced Axitl with a tight hug, as she kissed her forehead.
"You can stay as much as you want…. Axitl, you are our family too," she said, as Axitl grew all red.
