The last time we met you…

  You got oneshot by Hablena’s brother!

  “Ugh, I got careless there. I did not expect a medium strength deity to be able to defeat me like that.”

  It looked funny, though, he picked you up like a brat and turned you into dust.

  Raishin and I laughed, ignoring the divine energy she was giving off after getting upset.

  “Bellia, calm down, you knew what to expect when visiting tailed beasts…”

  “Hey, Raishin, lil’ bro, who are these two?” Noelle asked warily.

  Oh that midget is Bellia, the Sarian goddess of plants and that flat chick is Ardella the Sarian goddess of water or something. They helped us in the Nightmare Dungeon after which they got their asses kicked haha!

  “We didn’t get our asses kicked! Only Bellia did!” Della said after pointing at Bellia.

  “Hey!”

  I don’t know, you sure were struggling in that boss battle against me, some pitiful goddesses.

  Bellia got up. “Oh! You want to fight, eh?!”

  Oh, come at me shrimpy! I have some new foxfire skills I need to test out! I’m sure you will make for a good firestarter!

  Della pulled Bellia back who was about to storm at me. “Guys… please calm down… Bellia, he is right our effectiveness was…debatable…”

  Oh a self-aware god. So how about it? Ready to get your energy sent into the dimension?

  Yeah! For the dimension!

  “Why me! Why don’t you ask Della?!”

  It's funnier to ask you.

  “Hello Bellia. I’m Yvonne Faer. Do you by any chance know of any nature that needs help?”

  “Ahh a forest rabbit, you’re very far from home. The rabbits on Nesher have had a rough several years.”

  “Nesher? That’s where my all of my kin is?”

  “As far as I know, there are very few of you on this continent. Nesher is for 80% jungle so that’s where most of your kin are but… this continent could use some more… the elves are quite complacent… at least those from the eastern elven forest are coming into action. But that’s one of the points I came for here. The Cnidaria forest is wandering again…”

  Hasn’t it been wandering for centuries?

  “It has moved north by 50 kilometers since the great Calamity.”

  That sounds a lot…

  “It is… the rabbits are a bit more equipped in dealing with this than the elves but… you’re the only rabbit I can reach, but you have a strong fox and annoying tiger and cat helping you so that will go well hopefully… Next up! You brat!” Bellia pointed at me and I created an [Ice Mirror], causing her to point at a mirror. “You are so close to getting your ass kicked!”

  She was still pointing at the mirror.

  What have I done this time…

  “What’s the deal with those spirits in that dungeon?! It’s based on a real event, isn’t it?!”

  Uhh, you’re a bit late. I kinda nuked Itris to the ground, then the fairies came and gobbled up all the spirits, after which the spirit world incident happened, where you would hae been very useful but you got your ass killed. A large snake fairy invaded the spirit world by the way. So my friends here.

  I pointed at Raishin and Greg.

  Got caught in some bullshit that fairy pulled and got sucked up to who knows where. Then it took me nearly a year to get them back. Oh I forgot about Zys disappearing causing electronium to become extremely scarce, so while the state of electronium and the spirits is more or less fixed, lightning spirits are still abused to power the continent. All because you got your ass turned into dust.

  Not that they would have been useful if they tried to help out.

  That’s an excellent point, Raishin.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  The 3 of us leaned back, crossed our arms and legs and gave the gods a judging stares.

  What’s the point of you guys, actually? To destroy shit and to let shit get destroyed?

  Working us to the bone while you guys relax with your gazillion clones?

  Unbelievable, gods? More like parasites.

  “Hey Della can I kick their ass now?”

  A stomp shook the area. “The guys are correct, did you just come here to complain and kick their ass, or are you going to add some value?”

  Noelle joined us and crossed her arms and legs, and the 4 of us were staring the deities down.

  “Bellia, let me take this. Dear tailed beasts. A forest has gone rogue, and another one is petrifying. We try to keep our divine energy down, but it still affects anything near us, so we can only rely on you and…”

  Della paused and stared at Noelle. “Whose child are you?”

  Noelle shrugged. “I don’t know, and I don’t care. Go on else I will send these 3 at you, they seem to know how to deal you.”

  “We will help you, as we realize we’re asking a lot.”

  “Huh? Della, that wasn’t the plan!” Shrimpy protested.

  “Look at them, do you think they will just say ‘ok, sure!’? Let’s show some good will. Most of their species have even driven near extinction under our watch.”

  Bellia slammed her hand on the table. “We have discovered something! The forests petrifying and the oceans turning stale has been linked to the dimension not having enough energy. Maybe other problems are also linked to that. So, you 2 brats! Get to work!” She pointed at Raishin and Greg who both of them smirked.

  I wish there was a lot of energy nearby.

  If just 2 deities would be so kind as to let us do our jobs.

  “I hate you guys!” Shrimpy said as she stomped and put up a tantrum like a little kid.

  What a clownfiesta. How about this? Those 2 and maybe Noelle too will go gather some more energy for the system while Giana, Yv and I help you out with your forest problem. Also! Beat up some minor gods and drop them on Greg’s lap so he’s not tempted to send the energy of a certain shrimp into the system.

  “Ugh. You…”

  “Bellia, please shut up. That sounds like reasonable terms. Where will we drop off the defeated deities, though?

  Boshi hole?

  That sounds good. You know where Boshi town was previously, right? Is it also possible for one of you to fix the mana corruption going wild there?

  Ah right!

  “Ugh, I’ll see what I can do.” Bellia said while rubbing her temple.

  “Bellia, you take Agnis, Yvonne and the other fox. I will aid Raishin, Gregory and uhm… I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name, demi goddess.”

  A stomp went out. “Don’t call me a demi goddess! My name is Noelle, and I’m a seven tailed crystal wolf!” She pointed at her crystal tails.

  “Oh my, a lot of near extinct races here. I apologize…”

  Wow their perception is 0.

  Who needs perception when you can wipe a country off the map by just sneezing.

  “Hey! I’m not the one who made half a country disappear!” Shrimpy said with an accusing glare.

  I covered my mouth and chuckled.

  Jealous?

  “Aaagh!”

  “Bellia, please calm down, all these races are close to extinction. Don’t kill them.”

  Yeah, Bellia, be nice.

  A green cage closed around me and [Hattrick] cut it apart.

  “Ugh…I will try to control myself. Let’s go!”

  After Giana wakes up.

  Shrimpy stomped. “Now!”

  You are currently targeted by [Foxfire: Meteor Shower] do you want to proceed?

  I released the mana that Nilah had given me in Feshahn and the expression on the goddesses changed visibly.

  Shrimpy crossed her arms. “Fine!”

  There, that wasn’t hard, was it?

  I said as I dropped the mana pressure. She was still targeted by [Foxfire: Meteor Shower] though.

  But seems we’re back to work… we can’t catch a break, can we?

  follow if the story is interesting enough.
