Chapter 772 Line’s Diverging Road part 2
When Line reached her room with Medusa, she was still very out of it. As much as she wanted answers to their and her own questions running nonstop through her mind, she couldn't even fathom where to start.
"We're here."
If not for Medusa reminding her she wouldn't have realized that she had been standing blankly in front of her door. Realizing her mistake, she immediately faced Medusa and started bowing repeatedly, "I'm sorry! I'm very sorry!"
Medusa's deep and soothing voice, however, instantly gave her a huge sigh of relief, "It's fine. It's not something to apologize for." Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
But as soon as she straightened her body, she noticed a tray containing a tea set for two people and a plate of sweet baked snacks on her hand, "T-that is? You didn't have anything in your hands when we left the conference room, did you?", asked Line with a start. She knew for sure that Medusa doesn't really like taking out food from her inventory if she could prepare it properly. She heard it as one of the passing subjects when they had downtime and talked among themselves.
"Oh, this? I made a quick detour to the kitchen while we're on our way. By the way, do you mind if I come in?"
"Ah... Oh, yes, please!" replied Line while opening the door and thinking, 'So this is how a professional maid works? She managed to separate from me without me even realizing it. Incredible...'
The fact that she was too out of it to notice didn't even occur to her.
As Line arranged the seats and Medusa placed down the tray and prepared the tea, the former thought that she's here to convince her. But to convince her whether to accept the forbidden fruit of knowledge or reject it, Line doesn't have any idea.
Both of them sat down quietly and Medusa offered her a cup of tea, "Please take this. It'll help you calm your nerves."
"T-thank you."
"Because you talk like you're prepared to go to war with the Deities.", replied Line with resolute eyes.
Medusa became silent and contemplated how to answer her question.
After a minute or two of patiently waiting, Line finally got a reply, "Because Master is fully capable of taking down one or two of them in a frontal battle."
It was Line's turn to be surprised and exclaimed, "He can!? He's that powerful!?"
Medusa raised her hand to signal her to sit back down and said, "It seems that you're misunderstanding something."
Line obediently sat down and asked, "What is it?"
"You've already seen how Master and Serafall-san fought."
"B-but that's..." It's indeed a very impressive display of strength that they never thought possible, but...
"I'm sorry to break it to you, but the Deities that you thought are omnipotent are also only around that level. Loki-sama might not have admitted it, but if you were to ask her, I think she'll tell you the truth."
Medusa watched her trying to comprehend her words, however, she did understand where her suspicion was coming from. From the time when the first Deity came down to the Lower World, they've always presented themselves to be the overseer of the mortals and that they governed every aspect of their lives.
Even with the birth of Magic along with their arrival, no one could imagine what kind of power was needed to control life and death. As such, they became an omnipotent and unconquerable existence in every mortal's mind, so even when Line and the rest of the girls from the Loki Familia saw the unbelievable battle, they couldn't have thought that it was already at the level of the Deities.
