[: Daniel POV :]
Katie's voice cut through the remnants of the battle, her words carrying a mixture of nervousness and shock.
"Daniel... did you just forcefully seal off a connection to a goddess?"
The air seed to hold its breath as the weight of her question settled upon .
I turned to face Katie, eting her gaze with a calm expression.
As I gazed towards her, I noticed that her eyes betrayed and mirrored all of the emotions that she carried.
It was as if there were too many emotions she could express at the sa ti.
"Yeah, what about it?" I responded as I acknowledged what I had done.
Liviana, standing nearby, joined the conversation, her features mirroring Katie's unbelieving expression.
"That's... sothing we have never heard anyone done before... so it's kinda, no, it's unbelievable that soone could sever a connection to a goddess."
Their disbelief resonated with the magnitude of the feat.
I could sense the unspoken question in their eyes.
How had I managed to achieve sothing seemingly impossible?
Well, the answer is simple.
"I had to," I explained, breaking the silence that hung heavy in the air.
"If I didn't forcefully close it, those chains would endlessly chase ," I answered simply.
Seraphina's response echoed in the air, a hint of disbelief colouring her words.
"The way you said it makes it sound like it's easy to break a connection to a goddess."
In response, Katie stepped forward, her deanour a mix of concern and astonishnt.
"You have to understand, it's not easy to break a connection to a goddess, and it's impossible even to touch any powers that have any relation to a god."
As Katie explained, she delved into the fundantal rules governing the interactions between beings beneath a god and the divine powers themselves.
"That's a rule and law between beings underneath a god. Whoever touches the power of a god would dissipate into nothingness''
''Well, it also depends on the gods' intentions, but that's the idea." She explained.
"So, you're telling that no matter what, I should have perished under those chains...?"
I questioned, the realization sinking in that this encounter had given the idea of what I would be facing in the future.
I couldn't reach the realm of a god before, but I believe, this ti I could make it.
Even so, it's still far away.
After the Transcendent Realm, there are still more Realms to go, and each Realm has its uniqueness.
"That's right...." Liviana voiced her concern with a thoughtful gaze, her eyes reflecting a mixture of admiration and nervousness.
"We know that you're a powerful, monstrous human, the likes of which we've never encountered. But no beings could face off against the gods...unless..."
Seraphina, deep in thought, lightly touched her chin as she pondered the implications.
"Unless...?" I echoed her last word, eager for her insight.
"Unless you are a being equivalent, but by then, you won't even be allowed to exist in this realm, so that's a no," she concluded, discarding the notion of being a god.
However, she wasn't finished with her words.
"Did...you perhaps receive any Blessings...?"
Seraphina asked, her gaze fixed on , her eyes betraying a hint of uncertainty.
Even Katie and Liviana focused their attention on , their expressions silently conveying the revelation was impossible.
"Yeah, I did, and I even received seven of them,"
I revealed and revealing this information isn't going to harm .
"Moreover, you guys knew that I had even received a stigma from your goddesses, which I have no idea what it does."
I nonchalantly shrugged my shoulders as I answered.
"7 B-Blessings!?"
Katie's exclamation cut through the air, her eyes widening in sheer disbelief.
It was as if the very idea of possessing seven Goddess's Blessings was challenging the limits of her comprehension. The shock radiated from her expression, revealing the depths of her surprise.
Liviana and Seraphina, too, shared in the disbelief, their eyes mirroring the astonishnt that painted Katie's face.
The initial idea of being a god had already been deed implausible, but the revelation of having seven Blessings from goddesses was more incomprehensible than being a god.
As the weight of the situation sank in, the three of them exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the extraordinary nature of what I had just disclosed.
I knew how rare it is to have a goddess's blessing and how ridiculous it is to have even seven of them, and that makes an anomaly.
On the other hand, while there was no official grading system for Goddess's Blessings, so were renowned for their overwhelming power that could break all known laws.
Blessings from Gods like Sun Wukong or Hercules carried such imnse power that they could destroy galaxies.
"D-Daniel, do you know what it ans to have 7 Blessings!?"
Liviana's voice wavered as she questioned, her eyes reflecting not only fear but also a sense of wonder.
The realization that I held the blessings of seven powerful goddesses had broken their common sense.
"I think we have to explain to him or else he won't get it,"
Katie sighed, her words carrying a sense of responsibility.
The other two saintesses exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the necessity of revealing the mystery for .
The gravity of the situation seed to prompt imdiate agreent among them.
"In the first place, do you know why Blessings exist in the first place?"
Katie posed the question, and my curiosity piqued.
''Why?'' I was curious as well as why Blessings exists as I never get to find the answer to it.
"The reason is—" Katie began to explain, but just as her revelation was about to unfold, the entire world of Modern Fantasia shifted into a surreal grayscale.
A chill ran down my spine as I felt the abnormality of the situation.
Instinctively, I raised my guard, realizing this phenonon was far from ordinary.
An impending threat, beyond my current capabilities, was nearby .
It was the first ti in a while since I felt such pressure.
I knew that those beings above couldn't intervene no matter what, hence, I was clueless about this situation.
"What's going on...?"
I muttered in a low tone, scanning my surroundings.
The abrupt transformation of the world left on edge, and even the three saintesses stood frozen in the world of grey.
I strained my senses, attempting to detect any signs of the unknown enemy, but the ominous silence enveloped everything.
What was happening in this distorted world?
I waited in tense anticipation for seconds.
At the sa ti, I was using my senses in an attempt to discern the nature of the impending danger.
Yet, to my bewildernt, nothing unfolded.
The eerie stillness persisted, leaving grappling with uncertainty.
I was frustrated with this situation as I was helpless to even do anything.
Just as my impatience had reached its limit, a sudden interruption manifested.
There was a notification materialized before .
[: Congratulations, Daniel Bell. You have reached the questioning of Blessings far too early :]
[: However, please don't be disheartened as this is wonderful news. :]
[: As it is too early for you to know about the existence of Blessings, there will be a requirent placed specially made for you to fulfil. :]
[: Do you wish to accept this as a quest? At the sa ti, since you have reached this stage too early and possess abnormal powers, you will be rewarded accordingly as compensation. :]
[: Do you wish to accept both the quest and rewards? :]
[: If you don't, the existence of blessings would only be revealed until its intended ti. :]
As I imrsed myself in the contents of the notification, a deep sense of bafflent and astonishnt washed over .
The language used by the system bore an unusual directness.
It deviated from the usual detached tone, creating an eerie sensation that lingered in the air.
The implications had generated an uneasy feeling akin to a sense of a bad on.
Throughout my encounters with the system, whether in the present or the alternate future, it had never communicated in such a manner.
It was as if the system acknowledged my presence in a way it hadn't before.
I was aware of the threat that I possessed powers, however, the laws from both Modern Fantasia and Earth had shielded from interference by higher realm entities.
However, that doesn't an my actions hadn't drawn attention.
It seems like the blessings carry a weighty truth, one that was beyond my level and capacity.
Moreover, the restrictions placed on suggested that either I was deed too weak to bear the truth or, more intriguingly, I was far too early than its intended ti.
However, the question remains.
To accept the restriction or not, and even if I refused it, I would receive nothing.
Hence, it's better to receive it rather than having empty hands.
''I'll accept the quest'' I declared without any regrets.
At the sa ti, I looked forward to what I would receive as a form of compensation.
[: You have accepted a Hidden Mission :]
