[Morpheus' Pov!]

"Nvida. You did a good job here. Protecting everyone with Trisha. Thank you," I thanked Nvida genuinely. It's because they were outside to handle things with the escaped monsters that I was able to complete my [Quest] with little problem.
"I… it's all right. I should be the one thanking you for helping us protect the forest," Nvida spoke with a slight hesitation as her eyes shifted from to Irene several tis.
"You already know that she is a 3rd Order, right?" Irene asked, making Nvida a bit shocked before she looked at , terrified, but I smiled as I nodded.
I got to know her in one of my earlier reruns.
"Don't worry. I will keep it a secret from Trisha. If I wanted to tell, I would have told her when we first t, but this isn't sothing that is related to , so… don't worry about it," I explained it to Nvida.
"Really?!" Nvida asked with a relieved sigh as she looked at expectantly for confirmation.
"Really," I chuckled as I smiled at her, making her blush a little as she thanked silently.
"So. Nvida. How are things in the forest here? And how about your mission? Is it going well?" Irene then turned serious, changing the atmosphere, while she nodded with the sa depth of seriousness.
"Yes. Thanks to this event, I think I got closer to my goals. I should report to the High Order sooner than expected," she spoke with a serious tone.
"Good. Is there anything else you want?" She asked Nvida, who turned to with a thankful gaze before speaking.
"Thank you again and… if you ever want to co… you can do it anyti you want."
And then she bowed before leaving again from there, while I just raised my eyebrow a little. Though I just shook my head before turning to Irene, who was… looking intently at .
"What?" I was a bit confused.
"Aren't you a little too handso? Is that even allowed?" She asked as she got closer to .
'Not really. I am using a special ring that alters my avatar into anything that I want,' I thought, but smiled as I answered,
"Not really a plus point, given how much trouble I had co across in my life. To be honest, sotis I even detest it."
Answers like these are often true. Being too good looking might catch the attention of creeps that will make your life a living hell. Not sothing that anyone would like to have.
Being ntally well equipped while not letting anyone know is kind of the best you can ask for. Anything else has a lot of downsides in comparison.
"Is that so? Well. I guess I can relate to it to so extent," Irene spoke as she then chuckled before suddenly looking back at the city.
"What a surprise!" She exclaid.
[Eyes of Mana!]
I also smiled, as I could figure out what she was looking at. The goddesses have appeared in the city. Most probably Valencia and Alepsia, given by the amount of light mana that increased right now.

"You want to go et them as well?" I asked with curiosity while she shook her head before turning to with a wry smile.
"After what I did to them last ti. It would be better for to not get involved with them… or even any goddesses or gods, for that matter."
She then held my arm and spoke.
"Let's go. We should get out of here while we can. It would be better for both of us."
Since the work of Morpheus was done here, I too thought that it was fine to leave now. Anything that I want to say to the city of the people, Wesker already knows and can pass on.
"Sur-" and as I agreed…
[You have received a new Blessing!]
[Blessing of the Goddess of Balance: Karma of Fates!]
[Karma of Fates (Blessing): For every ti that the user changes the fate of a person. He receives a Karma Point. Karma Points can be exchanged for stats, skills and certain items. It can also be chosen to change the outco of certain events.
Current Karma Point: 0!]
And I paused as I looked at the new ssage in front of .
'Blessing of the Goddess of Balance? Why did she bless ?' I was honestly confused right now. I did nothing to benefit her, did I?
From what I know, she is trapped sowhere by the True Gods. Helping her would an to go against all the True Gods at once… not really sothing that I would like to happen.
"What happened?" Irene asked curiously.
"Irene. Is there anything you know about the Goddess of Balance?" I asked as I turned to her, and her eyes widened a little before she asked,
"The goddess who tried to join the rank of the gods but failed miserably?"
I nodded at her, making her narrow her eyes at before pondering and answering,
"Not really. Other than the fact that her entire kingdom was torn to shreds, with most of the things turning into ruins, there was little known about the goddess herself. Though if it is about the saintesses of those goddesses… I think I know a person who might know a thing or two."
I looked at her with slight surprise before nodding,
"Anything would be better than nothing."
"Though I must ask why. To get involved with such a goddess… is there any particular reason?" Her voice turned a bit serious as she looked at .
"Being honest. Leader just sent a ssage to find anything about that goddess. He must have sent it to all of us. That's why… as for why… Even I don't know," I shrugged my shoulders a little as I then continued walking.
"A ssage? How?" She was a bit intrigued.
Though I just smiled, not answering her, making her pout a little. She then changed the topic as we continued walking onwards… presumably to the place where the World Order was.
