Amon, The Legendary Overlord

"Elasa, what happened?" Mabel recognized her, as she was among the Eloreans who welcomed them to the city when they arrived. "Why are you bowing like this?"

When she stopped bowing, she remained seated on her knees, looking at Little Flora with eyes shining like a starry sky. "Don't you recognize her?" She seemed incredulous as she asked.

Upon hearing her words, Mabel was the first to raise her guard. No matter what she thought it might be, as long as she 'recognized' Little Flora, it could be dangerous.

After all, greed is something rooted in any form of intelligent life.

Ariel was the second. She looked suspiciously at Elasa.

Sensing the tension in the air, Elasa clarified, waving her hands while adjusting her posture slightly: "Calm down, I don't know why you suddenly reacted this way, but I can assure you I have no ulterior motives in doing this. In fact, I wouldn't even dare to have any malicious thoughts toward her."

When she said 'her,' Elasa was clearly referring to Flora.

"Explain," Maisa demanded.

It wasn't that she had come to trust Elasa with this, but she gave her the benefit of the doubt. And mainly, she wanted to know what Elasa knew. That way, they could better understand what they were dealing with.

"Yes, yes." Elasa wasn't upset. Reality proved that, for her, now that this group of humans was connected to this entity, it meant they held a higher place in her heart. Therefore, she didn't treat them lightly. She pretended to cough and began to explain: "To explain about her, I first need to talk about the creation of this world in which my people live."

These words made them swallow hard. Somehow, they felt as if something truly incredible was about to be revealed.

'What the hell did Amon get his hands on this time?' Mabel wondered, intrigued.

From the way the story was going, it was obvious that Flora's existence was even more extraordinary than they had thought.

This made the risk even greater. Mainly because whoever had this in their possession didn't actually die. They just returned to the tower. And what if they managed to sell the information or even gather a group of Star Rank people or even higher to attack them?

'Should I contact my grandmother?' Mabel pondered.

Meanwhile, Elasa began to speak.

"To illustrate a bit: our world is not like many others that were naturally created; instead, it was created artificially." Elasa spoke with passion and fanaticism: "Similar to this cute little girl, the Goddess who created this planet had long grass-green hair and could control roots capable of absorbing energy from the very cosmos. However, after the creation of this planet, it is said that the Goddess reverted to a small seed, waiting until she could be reborn once more..."

When her eyes landed on Little Flora, it was as if a sea of stars sparkled in her eyes. She was simply convinced that her assumption was correct.

Whether it was because of the grass-green hair or even the fact that she created roots that connected to the earth and absorbed energy for herself, constantly increasing, only someone like the Goddess she idolized, the creator of this planet, would be capable of something like that.

"So, you're assuming that this Goddess, whoever she is, is Little Flora here beside us?" Julia asked.

"Yes, I'm almost certain it's her," Elasa said. "Every fiber of my being is screaming that it's her. I feel an indescribable urge to worship her. Only our Goddess could make me feel this way."

"It seems kind of far-fetched, but I don't think you'd make all this up just to try to deceive us..." Ariel said, touching her chin as she spoke.

"Mooh, I don't know why all this talk, but..." Little Flora said, puffing out her cheeks. "I'm me, daughter of mommy and daddy. I don't understand complicated things, but I can more or less get what you're trying to say. And I must warn you that I'm not that person. Or am I not anymore? Anyway, I'm leaving, bye~"

After gathering enough energy, Little Flora simply left after saying those words.

Meanwhile, an awkward silence settled in.

However, even after hearing what Little Flora said, Elasa didn't seem disappointed; she simply smiled and said, "It seems I'm being a bother. I'll be going. Ah, don't worry, nothing that happened here will be disclosed by me. Rest assured, I would never do anything that could incur the Goddess's wrath."

Without waiting for them to say anything, she simply left.

"What exactly was that?" Maisa sighed. She had a strange feeling that someone had just appeared, dumped a bunch of information that only created unnecessary mystery, and then left without explaining further, leaving a few kind words behind. Seriously, what the hell was that?

"Pffft-hahaha." Somehow, this made Julia laugh. "God, she started talking, and I was already about to get the popcorn thinking a long story was coming, but she summed everything up in a few words, didn't delve into anything, and after Little Flora left, she left too, leaving those words behind. Hahaha."

What Julia said also made the rest of them laugh. Yes, it was a worrying situation, but somehow, they couldn't help it.

A few minutes later, they calmed down and talked quietly about the situation they were in.

"Whatever it is," Mabel shared her thoughts, "what she said is concerning. The fact that Little Flora might potentially be an existence capable of creating an entire planet could attract the attention of even Overlord Rank beings."

She wasn't lying. It was a dangerous reality if thought about calmly. An existence capable of creating a planet and possibly being under the control of whoever contracts with Little Flora wasn't something that could be taken lightly.

However, what they didn't even know was that it wasn't that simple. Little Flora could indeed create a planet, but it was more than that. With enough time and energy, it was possible to create even an entire universe!

Of course, to do something like that wasn't simple. It would require a lot of resources and time to nurture Little Flora to that point.
