Chapter 1490

Evangeline’s channel was pretty big.

In a way, it was only natural that her channel had gotten so big. After all, Al Hajat had been the one to suggest that she start streaming in the first place. He had introduced her to the best people who fit her needs, and she paid them a salary to handle the editing within a manageable budget.

They were astonished when they saw Willow’s gameplay.

[Wow... Boss, what is this?]

[I didn’t get what they were doing at the time, but watching it now, it’s just ridiculous hahaha]

[Even most hardcore players wouldn’t calculate everything down to the second like this]

[To be exact, it isn’t just down to the second. It seems like she calculated when the monsters chasing her would arrive and stop, along with crafting times and everything else!! Whew... This is seriously insane hahaha]

The footage was so good that even the editors, who usually worked in silence unless something legendary happened on stream, couldn’t stop praising it.

The survival game Evangeline played was one that was currently trending among streamers, so they all had some experience playing it.

[I bet everyone will find this fun and be blown away at the same time]

[Someone actually calculated the fastest possible progression in this game before. They got about this far, but only by factoring in a bunch of things that were practically impossible to pull off]

[Plus, the big name here is Our Goddess again]

That was what the crowd who used to follow Willow called her.

The editors, clearly intrigued, overlaid her gameplay footage and added music. They even left in the part where Evangeline initially gave Willow the wrong coordinates to try to kill her.

They also asked Seung-Hyun, Si-Woo, and the other two for their permission and left only some of the audio.

Once sped up for audiences, the finished video was about fifteen minutes long.

Evangeline gave a cunning smirk and uploaded the video.

“It doesn’t matter if it goes viral or not hehe.”

The goal wasn’t to get a massive number of views. If Willow felt even a little embarrassed or flustered by it, Evangeling would have gotten her revenge.

“Just wait, Sis. I’m gonna crush you.”

A few people visited her lair as she gnashed her teeth.

It was none other than the Gourmet Research Society.

“We’re her!”

“Welcome.”

Normally, Evangeline would’ve been wary of them, but, this time, she welcomed them warmly.

* * *

Once the video went up, things changed instantly.

Evangeline’s channel was huge. A good number of her viewers already knew a lot about Willow, and many had been wondering what she’d been up to since she hadn’t appeared on stream in a while.

The incredibly beautiful yet pitiful girl who claimed to be a goddess. That was how some people commonly described her. Of course, no one laughed at her because once they saw what she could do, a few actually wondered if she wasn’t just making things up when claiming that she was a goddess.

Naturally, some strongly believed she had literally saved Earth from the coming of winter as a true goddess in the past, but most couldn’t bring themselves to believe it. It made sense, as it wasn’t easy to simply acknowledge and believe in the existence of a deity.

The viewers flooded the comment section with messages.

[??? What did I just see?]

[I saw the video like twice because I couldn’t understand what was going on lols but this is literally insane!! I got hella goosebumps bro]

[Hollup, so she figured out the speed of the monsters chasing her, the surrounding terrain and its materials, and even calculated the time so that she wouldn’t waste a single second?]

[She just lured the monsters away so they wouldn’t break the house, calculated the time it would take to chase her, leveled up while she was at it, and then kept circling back in a different direction.]

[Wtf, that’s easier said than done. How can a human do that? Is she a supercomputer?]

[It’s Willow... Didn’t you see her play that shooter before? She’s literally crazy. She calculates the damage of incoming bullets bro]

[Hearing that again, this is just Willow being Willow hahaha]

[I’ve seen plenty of speedrunning pros, but this kind of pro is new to me hahaha.]

[??? the hell you talking about? Pro my ass, bro, didn’t you see how Our Goddess has zero playtime?]

[And you think that actually makes sense? loools how does someone know a game they’re playing for the first time?]

[This idiot probably didn’t even watch the stream loools or is just a DUMBASS she literally said she watched someone else play over their shoulder. One taunt calling her noob made her do all that hahaha. Everything aside tho, I want to point out how legendary boss’s trash talk at the start was loools]

[Where did our innocent boss gooooo?]

The view count was far beyond average.

However, unlike the editors who were watching in real-time, Evangeline was preoccupied with trying to rope in the Gourmet Research Society.

“Hmm. You want to get revenge on Miss Willow, right?” Yuria asked as she sipped her special tea placed before her.

Evangeline nodded. “Yes.”

“I’ll have to decline.”

She was startled at the unexpected answer. “What? Why?!”

These crazy people, who’d even put their lives on the line as long as something sounded fun, had just turned her down. They said they weren’t even interested.

Just as she was filled with questions, Yuria smiled sweetly. “It seems we’ll have to keep a low profile for a while.”

That was because Davey had threatened to disband the Gourmet Research Society if they caused trouble even one more time.

Thanks to that warning, Yuria had no choice but to swallow her tears and lay low for the time being.

“Oh... No, what the heck did you guys even do?”

“The thing you were threatening us with got exposed, Miss. Our Gracious Savior said he’d overlook it if we stopped right away.”

“No, what kind of...”

“We enjoyed the snacks. We’ll be leaving now.”

There was no stopping Yuria, Rinne, and Marky, who all stood up without hesitation.

One more mishap would mean the dissolution of the Gourmet Research Society. Even though they were the craziest group and the biggest troublemakers in the territory, they didn’t want their society to be disbanded.

In the end, Evangeline couldn’t get any help from the Gourmet Research Society. She pouted, but still streamed as planned. “Everyone.”

[Hieve]

[Hieve]

“I have an important problem.”

[???]

[??? What is it?]

After Evangeline suddenly blurted out that there was a serious problem, she quietly sighed.

[Come on, what is it?]

[Tell us alreadyyyyyy]

[Boss! Explain Our Goddess’s gameplay video]

[Yeah, explain it. What’s going on?]

“Is there anything to explain? It’s all in the video.”

[I’ve never seen anything like that when watching your streams tho boss]

“Oh. Well, that was from some gaming I did privately, off-stream.”

[How could you? Straight up betrayal!!!]

[How could you? Straight up betrayal!!!]

[How could you? Straight up betrayal!!!]

The chat was instantly spammed.

“Hey, you guys! I game alone sometimes, you know? And you’re seriously trying to say something about it? I even uploaded it for you this time!”

Puffing with anger, she soon realized she’d strayed from her original intent and sighed, “Haah. That’s not what’s important right now.”

[What’s important, then?]

[Is it more important than this right now?]

“No, forget that... First, I’ll just give an overview for those who haven’t watched the video.”

Evangeline briefly explained what had happened with Willow. She then solemnly announced, “I’m going to get revenge on my sister.”

[Wow... that’s petty hahaha.]

[Boss I’m on your side, but do you really have to take revenge for something like this?]

[Our Goddess already doesn’t really like being featured in videos like that.]

“Wait, how do you know that? Manager, ban that person!! Oh, of course I know my sister doesn’t like stuff like that, so I edited and uploaded it to screw with her. But this isn’t enough! I’m still angry.”

[They really are sisters...]

[They’re seriously fighting tooth and nail lmao]

[Whether it’s Tionis or Earth, people are the same everywhere, aren’t they lolols]

[Why not just do a fistfight with her? I mean, you’re pretty strong boss]

Just as some user said, it was quite natural for siblings to have fistfights sometimes.

However.

“I don’t want to get beaten to death...”

[By who?]

“My sister and my mom.”

It would be impossible to even classify it as a fight, because Willow’s raw combat ability was completely off the charts. Also, if any of the three moms found out Evangeline had tried to pick a fight with her, she’d be in for a terrifying blood draining lecture.

“Therefore, the best way is to mess with each other while smiling like it’s all fun and games.”

[That’s even more wicked.]

“That is why your opinions are very important.”

[No, fighting with your sister is not a good idea.]

“Is that really important right now? She provoked me! She called me a noob!”

The chat erupted in laughter at her shout.

[But you did suck, don’t you agree?]

[Yeah, from someone who actually has skills, you sucked big time lolols]

“Do you all want to get kicked?”

[Fact check. The official term is banned, not kicked]

“What are you talking about? I mean a real kick! I’ll kick you so hard that you’ll regret fact-checking me today. Anyway, who are we as gamers? Even if we don’t know anything else, we definitely can’t stand being called bad at games.”

[Boss has completed localization...]

[Boss has fallen from grace...]

“Whatever. Anyway, give me some ideas.”

Ding!

[Constellation Sagittarius has donated 50,000 Won.]

- I’m out of here...

[Constellation Leo has donated 50,000 Won.]

- I didn’t hear a thing...

“You traitors! Is my sister that scary? Huh?!”

[The chairmen are retreating asap OMEGALUL]

[Everyone retreat!!]

They showed no sign of helping at all.

‘They say you can’t trust anyone...’

Evangeline decided it’d be hard to get any decent ideas from her chat. The reality that it’d be tough to mess with Willow with just anything was daunting.

“Haah. This is making me so mad...” She banged her head against the desk, huffing in frustration.

Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to her, her eyes lit up.

“Everyone.”

[???]

[?]

Evangeline paused for a moment before suggesting, “What if we invite my sister over and make her draw?”

The viewers brightened up at the idea

[Ooh?]

[That sounds good.]

“She’s never drawn before, so it’ll be a great chance for me to trash-talk her. I’ll make her start with noob drawing and slowly grind her gears. How’s that sound?”

[You’re pure demon]

[Legit true demon]

Having made up her mind, Evangeline immediately activated an artifact and called Willow. “Sis! Something’s up! Help me!”

After a couple of seconds, the air ripped open.

A flustered Willow appeared with a startled look on her face, shouting, “What is it?!”

She was so surprised that her clothes billowed in response to her emotions.

“Sis!”

“Eva, what’s wrong?!” Her eyes widened as Evangline rushed over and hugged her.

It was then. Evangeline thrust the tablet pen she was holding into Willow’s hand.

“Huh?”

“Draw me something!”

For a moment, Willow just looked dazed.

Evangeline was sure it was the perfect chance to badmouth her.

Even if Willow was a goddess, she knew there was no way she could cheat the program.

With that thought, Evangeline pushed the confused Willow and sat her down. “Sis, first say hello. Tell them your age and name.”

Willow frowned hard and smacked her head. “Cut it out. What the heck is this? I thought you were in big trouble, so I dropped everything to come here.”

“It is a huge deal! I need content, and there’s no one better than you.”

Willow frowned as Evangeline lied without batting an eye.

[Ooh. It’s Our Goddess]

[Worship her]

[Worship her hahaha]

“Quiet, you people! Eva, I’m not really into being on stream.”

“Just think of it as helping out as a special guest for the day.”

“Well, it’s not that difficult... but... what exactly do you want me to do?”

“I’m going to put up a poll for what you should draw, and you’ll draw whatever gets picked. I’ll teach you how to use the program.”

Of course, she wouldn’t teach her properly.

“Sure. That’s fine,” Willow replied calmly, and Evangeline turned her head to look at the poll status. The options varied widely, from creatures and portraits to cute anthropomorphism.

“Eva, are the people watching your stream okay?” Willow asked with a serious look on her face.

She then answered hesitantly, “Well...”

One option had taken a clear lead in the poll. It was none other than a dragon.

The dragon fanatics Evangeline had created in droves in the past had come out in full force.

“No, no, no! You crazy people!”

Seeing her furious roar, the votes swung again.

[Hey, she could draw it cool you know...]

Willow sighed and picked up the pen, defeated. “I just need to draw a dragon, right?”

“Oh, Sis, you use this by...”

“No, I got it. I kind of know how to use it from watching you.”

After calmly answering, Willow began to draw without hesitation.

In the drawing, a beautiful girl in a black gothic dress held a black parasol. Her eyes were mesmerizing, and she looked both incredibly cute and mature at the same time.

Once Willow finished drawing her, the viewers were confused.

[Hello???? Where’s the dragon?]

[?Dónde está el dragón?]

Reading their questions, Willow answered quietly, “She’s a dragon, alright. An ancient dragon! The same species as Eva.”

After calmly explaining, she finished by drawing what looked like a black pool of water beneath the figure’s feet.

At the same time, Evangeline stared at the drawing in surprise and murmured, “Sis. No way, is she...”

“Yeah. This is ancient dragon Eclipse, your birth mother. You were sad that you didn’t have a proper portrait of her.”

Her birth mother wasn’t a sensitive subject for her anymore. Still, it was true that she didn’t have a proper portrait of her either.

[Ancient dragon?]

[Wow, she’s seriously gorgeous]

[No, how is she so mature despite her small body...?]

[Our Goddess’s talents are insane...]

No one questioned how well and easily Willow had drawn Eclipse.

“Don’t worry about it. She may look like this, but she’s the elder of the ancient dragons. You asked me to draw a dragon, so this counts, right?”

“Uh... Well...”

[Yeah, it counts, but... a polymorphed dragon?]

[Come to think of it, boss is also an ancient dragon or something.]

The viewers recalled that Evangeline, the streamer before their eyes, was a dragon.

“Here. I’ll save the file, so print it out later and put it on the wall. It’s true you’re Mom and Dad’s child, but Eclipse, your birth mother, has also been watching over you for a long time.”

“How do you know that, Sis?”

“How do I know? I saw Eclipse myself when she tried to kill Dad and turn the jungles into deserts.”

Come to think of it, aside from Davey, Willow had probably seen Eclipse in person more than anyone else.

“Sis...”

“Do you like it?”

Evangeline forgot her intention to mess with her sister just moments before and thanked her with teary eyes, “Yes! I love it!”

“I’ll draw your dad later, too.”

“Okay!”

No one would be cold-hearted enough to ruin such a heartwarming moment.

Not.

Some people didn’t care at all.

[So, Willow. What’s the deal with the video? Was that really the first time you played that game?]

“What is that chatter talking about?”

“Uh?” Flustered, Evangeline scrambled to cover the chat.

Things were going so well, and it’d be a disaster if Willow found out.

The massive viewer count? She couldn’t care less about that right now.

She had to delete the video fast, so she subtly signaled for the viewers to keep quiet without Willow noticing.

But then—

Ding!!

[Constellation Sagittarius has donated 500,000 Won.]

- A tribute, Goddess.

Along with the message, footage of her gameplay filled the screen, and Willow stared straight at Evangeline with dead eyes.

“Hey.”

“Uh... Well...”

Evangeline lowered her gaze and slowly backed away.
