Chapter 1110: The Feeling Of Death
I gasped, my hand going to my neck and touching it to make sure my head was still connected to my body.
That was, undoubtedly, the feeling of ’death’.
Looking to the side, I could see that I wasn’t the only one to feel that as Ather had collapsed to her knees and her eyes were rolled to the back of her head.
She fainted huh…
Still… I could feel a huge pressure pushing down on me and it was hard for me to breathe. In fact, it felt like there was a hand grasping my heart and squeezing it, making every heartbeat a painful one.
My hand shifted to my chest to try and alleviate some of the pain by putting pressure on it and while it helped a little, it still hurt to even just stay conscious.
The figure that appeared slowly drifted to the ground, the cloak preventing me from seeing their face or figure but I already guessed this must be Srii.
Who else would be able to make me feel like I was experiencing death the entire time, right? But well… Just in case, I wasn’t going to call out to them in the event it actually isn’t Srii…
With how this was going, there was no way I would be able to even stay conscious so I need to deal with this somehow…
What about [Desensitisation]? Would it be able to help me desensitise myself to the feeling of death?
Screw it, it’s better than not trying anything anyway!
I activated my unique skill, this time attuning it to try and block out the feeling of death.
I was honestly not expecting anything to happen but surprisingly, the oppressive feeling I was getting lessened considerably.
It still felt like I was still stuck in some kind of invisible restraint and it was hard to breathe but at least I wasn’t in agony anymore and could at least stand.
The figure approached Hiandoca, “You… Called me here?”
Hiandoca giggled, “Of course! Who else would call you here?”
“… Acnoghi?”
“Pfft, please. That dragon wouldn’t call you here like that! Wasn’t the offering I used delicious?”
Wait… Did Hiandoca do all that earlier just to get an ’offering’ to call Srii here?
I mean… I guess the evidence is right in front of me so that must be what happened…
The cloaked figure tilted their head as if they didn’t understand what Hiandoca had said.
The goddess rolled her eyes in exasperation, “Seriously? Did you not even realise there was an offering at all? I swear, you might be the densest out of all of– Ahem… Anyway, you must be wondering why I called you here, right?”
The cloaked figure stared at Hiandoca for a few seconds before finally answering her, “Not really?”
Hiandoca blinked at the cloaked figure before turning to me, as though asking if I could believe this person.
Err… I don’t know why you’re asking me since I literally never met this person in my life before…
Hiandoca turned back to the cloaked figure, “Whatever, don’t you see the state of your temple? Are you not concerned by the fact that it has been trashed so badly?”
The cloaked figure looked around the place as though only noticing it for the first time before turning back to Hiandoca, “Not really?”
…
I see why Hiandoca said that this god in particular wouldn’t care about it…
The naked goddess threw her hands in the air in exasperation, “Seriously! This is your temple we’re talking about! Don’t you even care that it was neglected to this extent?!”
“… No?”
“Arrrghh! This is why I hate dealing with you! Whatever, at least care that someone was kind enough to even bother reporting it! Look, look! This is Aster! My current favourite! Say hi, Aster!”
I was a little surprised that she turned the attention to me but I managed to raise my hand to wave at the cloaked figure anyway.
The one I assumed to be Srii turned to look at me and the darkness underneath the hood seemed to shift and writhe.
I blinked and the next thing I knew, the cloak had changed into a mourning dress and the person that had been standing there had turned into… Me?
No… Like an older version of myself wearing that mourning dress…
Err… Ok… Why is this goddess taking my form?
Wait, I get it… Since this was the goddess of death, I would see her as death. So when her attention was on me, I would see myself wrapped in death.
At least… That’s what I think is happening here.
Actually… It might not even be me since her face was partially covered by a mourning veil and the only reason why I even thought she transformed into me was because she had the same white hair as mine.
She was just a little taller than me though.
Hiandoca didn’t seem surprised by the transformation and gestured at her, “Aster, as you might have guessed, this is Srii. Say hi, Srii!”
The other goddess tilted her head at me, not reacting to Hiandoca’s words and merely took a moment to regard me.
As she stared, I realised that the oppressive feeling pushing down on me got heavier and heavier and it felt like someone was literally trying to push me down to the ground.
When I looked up at goddess Srii, I suddenly found myself back in my old room, the one in my old World where I was looking up at the sky with the giant truck that destroyed my old World crashing down towards me.
In other words, death was coming down towards me once again… I was going to die once mo–
Ehhhh?! What’s that in my hand?! It’s the cake that I failed to finish when our World got destroyed that day!
Well, Drebann did create it again so that I could eat it but no way am I going to miss out on this again!
I immediately ignored the giant truck coming down towards me and started stuffing my face with the cake instead.
Ahhh! So sweet! So good!! I knew the cake would be delish! Mmmm!!!
When I returned back to myself again, I found myself looking at the empty plate, disappointed that it had finished so quickly.
Hmm? I feel like I’m forgetting something…
Oh right! The giant truck coming down towards me!
I looked up and… The truck was still there, hanging up there in the sky and slowly coming down towards me.
Hmm… Why is it taking so long? Is it stuck or something?
I continued to stare at it while bringing the plate that had my cake from earlier to start licking it clean, only half paying attention to the truck in the sky since I believe once the truck came down, the plate would disappear.
It certainly is taking its time to come down though…
Well, since it’s taking so long, I went over to the fridge and opened the door to peek inside.
Ah! As I thought, I have more cake inside here!
I immediately took out another slice of it and brought it back out to the balcony to start munching on it, this time taking my sweet time relishing the treat instead of stuffing my face with it.
Ahhhhh~ So sweet!! This is the best! I wonder if I could just keep going like this?
Screw it, since I’m already here anyway…
I went back to the fridge to take out an entire cake to bring back to the balcony once more, half paying attention to the truck in the sky while I basked in the sweetness of the cake I was munching on.
Then, as sudden as it had appeared, the sight of the truck disappeared and I found myself standing back in the temple again.
I was more disappointed by the fact that I only managed to eat half of that cake before it disappeared than being surprised by the fact I returned back to the temple.
I looked around again and I realised Hiandoca was… Err… Kneeling down on the ground with her legs spread apart and her fingers thrusting back and forth in between her legs…
Nothing odd there I guess?
Then I turned my attention to the other goddess who was standing at where she was from the start and I realised she no longer looked like me.
She still had that head of white hair and was still wearing that mourning dress, but the face veil was gone to reveal a really elegant and dignified face with piercingly bright red eyes that seemed to bore into me.
Her complexion was pale which made her blood red lips stand out even more and for a moment, I was transfixed by her beauty before she suddenly took a step towards me.
“You… Are not afraid of me?” She asked, staring right at me in the eyes.
Oh? I just realised the oppressive feeling was gone and I didn’t even feel any pain around my heart anymore.
I tilted my head at her, “Ummm… Not really?”
She suddenly reached down and grabbed my hands in hers, “Let’s get married.”
…
Haaaaa?!
