Chapter 95 – 5th Passage of the Legend: Clash of the Goddess
There is no need for words.
The only important thing is to convert one’s own battle intent into a divine power blade and aim it at the enemy. Thus, Floria and Ishuteria charge at each other, attacking each other head-on.
What she wields in her hand is a divine sword.
She swings her divine sword, turning all her battle intent which is filled with the memories and wishes that belonged to her beloved war god into a blade.
For the sake of love, she wishes for the perfect technique.
For the sake of passion, she wishes for the perfect appearance for her perfect technique.
Her metamorphosis is proof of how deep her love is.
This is all for the sake of the war god who always stays by her side even when he constantly gallops across numerous wars.
And the sword technique that Floria mastered now has already reached the divine level.
Just a simple swing from her sword could rip the flesh from a god’s divine body.
Half of the blood that runs in her vein is the blood of the previous war god. And it enables her to master all kinds of weapons with ease, making it so that she could easily use all kinds of divine weapons that were created by Renya.
But, her opponent is also a goddess.
The bejeweled staff in her hand is not just an accessory as she also has the skill to wield it. Even when her title as the goddess of abundance makes it seem that war is an existence foreign to her, it doesn’t mean that in the eons of time that she had lived past was free from strife and dispute.
Whether it was an evil existence that surpasses human intelligence.
Or other beings on the same level as her that become fallen.
Or maybe, arrogant humans that had successfully overcome their limit.
With each battle she survived, she managed to collect more and more experience from it and of course, the skill that she constantly polish for eons had also reached the divine level.
The sword of the god and the staff of the god fiercely intersect with each other.
Each time the two divine objects hit against each other, the surrounding air would tremble. The aftershock from the impact sweeps violently like a storm. If not for the divine barrier that has been cast on beforehand, this ceremonial room would have been cleanly blown away and turned into a wasteland without even leaving any ruins behind.
After going back and forth until the 10th moves, the two goddesses retreat together to create some space between them.
Even when the ceremonial room is usually filled with traces of divine power, the concentration drastically changes because of the battle that happened. Even when that mentioned battle was started because of a questionable reason.
The air is thick with divine power that could make people choke their breath.
The change in this sacred place is a silent storyteller of the clash between two goddesses.
“Ara-ara~ so that’s why I could feel multiple divinities in you~. So you are a second-generation, right~? It actually makes sense now because you are still a fledgling goddess~”
“I could say the same for you. I thought that you are just a pervert middle-aged woman before but you also got the moves ain’t ya”
“…… Did I hear it wrong~? I think I just heard some words that are not supposed to be said to a goddess though~?”
“Of course you will start to become deaf. After all, all you do is just stay inside your territory like a hikkikomori and hunt for some men after sleeping for a few years. Isn’t that right, gran gran?”
(Eros: Hikkikomori: someone who shut themself in their own room, refusing to go out)
“Th-this child~~~~!!! Aren’t you also just a cheeky brat that really lacks experience~? How dare you say that to me~!”
“Hmph hmph! I only belong to Renya in the past, present and forever so I’m fine being inexperienced! Isn’t it enough for me to just serve him and learn things that make him happy, right~?”
But when the two goddesses start opening their mouths, the epic battle from before instantly gone.
The two goddesses are fighting for the favor of one man and spewing curses and scathing words at each other.
They are beings that are far superior from normal mortals but the way they quarrel with each other is not that different from how mortal is. This gap, in a lot of meanings, makes Renya and the other girls have a hard time interfering in their quarrel.
“Actually, I thought I would never have to personally experience a shuraba like this”
(Eros: Shuraba: in this context is a fight between many love interest)
“I also don’t expect Floria to be that angry. Is there such a big difference between creating a harem for Renya and having another woman trying to seduce you inside her head I wonder?”
“Ah~…… Perhaps, in Floria’s opinion, my harem is categorized as her precious ‘comrade’ which has a great meaning for her. I think. In Ishuteria’s case, she just wants to intrude in, have fun by herself, and leave after she is satisfied. And it seems that Ishuteria’s method rubs Floria’s reverse scale in the wrong way”
Against Brenda’s question, Renya tried to explain in his own way what triggered this battle according to his understanding of Floria’s personality and thoughts.
It could be said that Floria is a magnanimous person.
After all, it was her idea to create a harem for her lover. It is not their place who joined the harem to say this but it was all thanks to Floria as the first member of the harem who does not oppose it that the harem could finally be established in the end. If it was any other ordinary woman then that kind of scenario would rarely happen.
The reason for her magnanimity might root in her authority over love. No, rather than her authority, maybe it should be credited to her own personage herself that is big enough to accept a variety of loves.
Because the one she loves is doing it happily then she would accept it all to a certain extent.
Of course, in return for her magnanimity, she would also receive his love.
With that as her foundation, the girls that she accepted as her ‘comrade’ would receive her magnanimity in sharing her man’s love.
And that is also the main reason why she would turn hostile to other treacherous women who tried to stomp on her sacred place with their shoes on.
That is what Renya could conclude of the current situation.
And that rule is also applicable to Renya himself. If he were ever to act in the opposite way of her love and trust, then her blazing passion will instantly turn into fury which would be pointed at him.
Predicting such a stormy future like that, Renya silently carves it deep in his heart to never do any uncouth things towards any girls in his harem.
The two goddesses seem to agree to put their quarrel on hold for now as they both show the stance to once again clash with each other.
“Floria-chan~ I will give you one last warning just in case, but are you willing to back down~?”
“If a bitch like you back down first, then I would not mind ceasing aggression though?”
“So be it then~ Let this goddess of abundance, Ishuteria, show you how she will punish you if she goes serious, okay~?”
Saying that, Ishuteria lifts her staff up high.
From Ishuteria’s surroundings, lumps of earth start to let out a burbling sound. No, those are not lumps of earth, a sea of mud starts to actually manifest around her.
It is the blessing of the earth. The rich soil would guarantee anything that takes roots in it to bear fruit.
Looking at her opponent that most likely would attack using the element of earth, Floria uses her divine power to flutter in the air.
“Well~ of course you will try to fly to avoid it, right~? But you know~? There are ceiling to limit you from going up~”
In a blink of an eye, the sea of mud completely filled the ceremonial room. Of course, the area around Renya is not affected.
Ishuteria then lightly smashes her staff into the mud sea. With that move, little sprouts of plants suddenly spring up from the mud surface and quickly grow into a tree in no time. The trees start to move into a formation that seems to give their praise to Ishuteria. Not stopping at that, they continue to grow until they reach the height where Floria is flying and try to surround her.
“Hey, that is bullcrap……”
Even if Floria says it like that, the things that the gods do are all bullcrap basically.
After that Ishuteria starts spinning her staff around. This time, a black rain cloud suddenly manifested in the ceiling.
Heavy torrential rain starts covering the ceremonial room.
The downpour is just as intense as a waterfall which is already equal to a lethal weapon. It even buffed with divine power blessing. Its weight is not something that even a goddess like Floria could bear.
Floria that falls down from being unable to bear the impact bearing down on her is instantly greeted by a forest worth of tree grinder that the goddess of abundance manifested without mercy.
Some branches stretch out and become as sharp as a spear. Some branches bundled up together to produce a heavy blow like a hammer. If the enemy tried to brandish her divine sword to cut those branches then the leaves with razor-sharp edges would freely dance in the air to counter the attack.
The goddess’ forest evidently tried to protect its master, turning the power of nature into a deadly fang to attack the opponent.
“Kuh!!!”
With her divine-level sword skill, Floria managed to somehow defend herself from the onslaught. In a disadvantage under the other party’s superior number, she strikes hard at one certain thick branch.
Even if she tried her hardest to fix her stance, the tyrannical downpour won’t let her do as she wishes. Floria then smashed hard into the mud sea. Her beautiful silver hair is now stained with mud.
Even when the rain washes a bit of the mud off her, her body which is the embodiment of beauty is instantly turned into a wretched figure covered in mud. But even with this great loss, Floria’s fighting spirit still burns hot. She calmly glares at Ishuteria. In reverse, Ishuteria reaction is:
“Arara~ Oh my~. Why are you playing with mud like that~? Really, Floria-chan, you are actually just a big baby~”
Ishuteria is actually trying to add more insult to the injury which is really a wicked move on her part.
Watching Ishuteria’s unsculptured move, Renya unconsciously frowns.
“Provoking the enemy at this point? …… Holding back when it is the perfect moment to attack? …… Or is she just not that experienced in battle?”
“From the way I see it, Floria-san unexpectedly also has another goddess she found disagreeable”
“I agree with Elvira’s view. Ishuteria is the same kind as Renya, an enemy of women. Just in a different meaning though”
Renya also gives his consent to that opinion. Elvira and Brenda’s view seems to be close to home.
If Floria gets baited by the enemy provocation then she will be fighting on top of the enemy’s palm. When he looks closer at her, Floria’s shoulder seems to be slightly quivering.
(It doesn’t seem good…… I just hope that she does not lose herself too deep in anger)
But the next development betrays Renya’s expectation.
Floria suddenly pulls her left hand at high speed.
“Arararara~~ Oh my oh my oh myAAA~~!?”
With that movement as the cue, it seems that Ishuteria’s left leg is being pulled into the sky.
Although it is too bad that Renya could not glimpse into the inside of Ishuteria’s dress skirt from his position, he could still enjoy the sight of her leg spread-eagled and grandiosely falls with her butt into the mud.
With another tug, another splash created in the mud surface. Ishuteria, who falls again into the ground, is now in the same condition as Floria: covered in mud.
“Hey look what we got here~? The goddess of abundance is being covered in the mud that she creates to protect herself~. And that spread-eagled pose is just perfect for someone improper like you~. Don’t tell me that your belly juts out of line and your legs and hip became weak like jelly because of you being a hikkikomori for too long~?”
It is simply paying back debt with interest.
If you are mocked then just mock back.
Renya could see the thing that helped Floria recover in her pinch even when it disappeared in one flash moment.
That is the black rope of capture.
The crucifixion of the dark night which nothing could run from, The Night Crucifixion.
When its ability as a divine weapon is used, it will create an infinite amount of black rope with the power to capture the enemy. But when used normally as a weapon, then it will become just like a kind of underwhelming lasso.
By exploiting the moment where Ishuteria lets her guard down, Floria uses the divine weapon to hook her leg and pull it hard. From the standpoint of doing effective damage to the enemy, that move is totally useless but in the point of throwing spite back to the enemy’s face, it visibly gives the ultimate result.
“Yo-you little~~~ WAPU!?”
Ishuteria who finally managed to raise her body up received a large amount of mud thrown intensely to her face. Before anyone noticed, Floria had already created some mudballs and threw them hard. Such timing! Much control! Wow!
“Did you know? Mud has a beautifying effect. More so that this mud was created by the goddess of abundance herself so the effect should be divine. Don’t you feel that your skin becomes much smoother~?”
“Tha-that’s it~! You managed to anger me, you know~? Floria-chan!”
“The angry one should be me, alright!? I will make you pay for being such an ass with 10 times the interest!!”
And then, the mud-slinging and mud wrestling match begins.
The fight between the two goddesses turns into an inelegant catfight where they would throw mud at each other when they are far and wrestle with each other in the mud when they are close.
“Hey hey! You have made this mud yourself so why don’t you have some to taste yourself!”
“Ara ara~ why don’t you also add more meat to your meager body? With the power of the mud that I created, I can make you plenty fat~”
Splash! Blub! Glub!
If one were to put sound effects to the two women’s battle then that would be it.
Just where did the grand battle where both parties use their divine power to battle each other go?
“Things have turned into a literal quagmire of mud-slinging contests……”
“Oniisan, are you trying to say something smart desuka?”
How does one judge the winner of this battle?
Renya had coolly said that he would make Floria the winner of this battle before it started but all he could do now is just to watch over the mud sling fest between the two goddesses.

The reason for her magnanimity might root in her authority over love. No, rather than her authority, maybe it should be credited to her own personage herself that is big enough to accept a variety of loves.
Because the one she loves is doing it happily then she would accept it all to a certain extent.
Of course, in return for her magnanimity, she would also receive his love.
With that as her foundation, the girls that she accepted as her ‘comrade’ would receive her magnanimity in sharing her man’s love.
And that is also the main reason why she would turn hostile to other treacherous women who tried to stomp on her sacred place with their shoes on.
That is what Renya could conclude of the current situation.
And that rule is also applicable to Renya himself. If he were ever to act in the opposite way of her love and trust, then her blazing passion will instantly turn into fury which would be pointed at him.
Predicting such a stormy future like that, Renya silently carves it deep in his heart to never do any uncouth things towards any girls in his harem.
The two goddesses seem to agree to put their quarrel on hold for now as they both show the stance to once again clash with each other.
“Floria-chan~ I will give you one last warning just in case, but are you willing to back down~?”
“If a bitch like you back down first, then I would not mind ceasing aggression though?”
“So be it then~ Let this goddess of abundance, Ishuteria, show you how she will punish you if she goes serious, okay~?”
Saying that, Ishuteria lifts her staff up high.
From Ishuteria’s surroundings, lumps of earth start to let out a burbling sound. No, those are not lumps of earth, a sea of mud starts to actually manifest around her.
It is the blessing of the earth. The rich soil would guarantee anything that takes roots in it to bear fruit.
Looking at her opponent that most likely would attack using the element of earth, Floria uses her divine power to flutter in the air.
“Well~ of course you will try to fly to avoid it, right~? But you know~? There are ceiling to limit you from going up~”
In a blink of an eye, the sea of mud completely filled the ceremonial room. Of course, the area around Renya is not affected.
Ishuteria then lightly smashes her staff into the mud sea. With that move, little sprouts of plants suddenly spring up from the mud surface and quickly grow into a tree in no time. The trees start to move into a formation that seems to give their praise to Ishuteria. Not stopping at that, they continue to grow until they reach the height where Floria is flying and try to surround her.
“Hey, that is bullcrap……”
Even if Floria says it like that, the things that the gods do are all bullcrap basically.
After that Ishuteria starts spinning her staff around. This time, a black rain cloud suddenly manifested in the ceiling.
Heavy torrential rain starts covering the ceremonial room.
The downpour is just as intense as a waterfall which is already equal to a lethal weapon. It even buffed with divine power blessing. Its weight is not something that even a goddess like Floria could bear.
Floria that falls down from being unable to bear the impact bearing down on her is instantly greeted by a forest worth of tree grinder that the goddess of abundance manifested without mercy.
Some branches stretch out and become as sharp as a spear. Some branches bundled up together to produce a heavy blow like a hammer. If the enemy tried to brandish her divine sword to cut those branches then the leaves with razor-sharp edges would freely dance in the air to counter the attack.
The goddess’ forest evidently tried to protect its master, turning the power of nature into a deadly fang to attack the opponent.
“Kuh!!!”
With her divine-level sword skill, Floria managed to somehow defend herself from the onslaught. In a disadvantage under the other party’s superior number, she strikes hard at one certain thick branch.
Even if she tried her hardest to fix her stance, the tyrannical downpour won’t let her do as she wishes. Floria then smashed hard into the mud sea. Her beautiful silver hair is now stained with mud.
Even when the rain washes a bit of the mud off her, her body which is the embodiment of beauty is instantly turned into a wretched figure covered in mud. But even with this great loss, Floria’s fighting spirit still burns hot. She calmly glares at Ishuteria. In reverse, Ishuteria reaction is:
“Arara~ Oh my~. Why are you playing with mud like that~? Really, Floria-chan, you are actually just a big baby~”
Ishuteria is actually trying to add more insult to the injury which is really a wicked move on her part.
Watching Ishuteria’s unsculptured move, Renya unconsciously frowns.
“Provoking the enemy at this point? …… Holding back when it is the perfect moment to attack? …… Or is she just not that experienced in battle?”
“From the way I see it, Floria-san unexpectedly also has another goddess she found disagreeable”
“I agree with Elvira’s view. Ishuteria is the same kind as Renya, an enemy of women. Just in a different meaning though”
Renya also gives his consent to that opinion. Elvira and Brenda’s view seems to be close to home.
If Floria gets baited by the enemy provocation then she will be fighting on top of the enemy’s palm. When he looks closer at her, Floria’s shoulder seems to be slightly quivering.
(It doesn’t seem good…… I just hope that she does not lose herself too deep in anger)
But the next development betrays Renya’s expectation.
Floria suddenly pulls her left hand at high speed.
“Arararara~~ Oh my oh my oh myAAA~~!?”
With that movement as the cue, it seems that Ishuteria’s left leg is being pulled into the sky.
Although it is too bad that Renya could not glimpse into the inside of Ishuteria’s dress skirt from his position, he could still enjoy the sight of her leg spread-eagled and grandiosely falls with her butt into the mud.
With another tug, another splash created in the mud surface. Ishuteria, who falls again into the ground, is now in the same condition as Floria: covered in mud.
“Hey look what we got here~? The goddess of abundance is being covered in the mud that she creates to protect herself~. And that spread-eagled pose is just perfect for someone improper like you~. Don’t tell me that your belly juts out of line and your legs and hip became weak like jelly because of you being a hikkikomori for too long~?”
It is simply paying back debt with interest.
If you are mocked then just mock back.
Renya could see the thing that helped Floria recover in her pinch even when it disappeared in one flash moment.
That is the black rope of capture.
The crucifixion of the dark night which nothing could run from, The Night Crucifixion.
When its ability as a divine weapon is used, it will create an infinite amount of black rope with the power to capture the enemy. But when used normally as a weapon, then it will become just like a kind of underwhelming lasso.
By exploiting the moment where Ishuteria lets her guard down, Floria uses the divine weapon to hook her leg and pull it hard. From the standpoint of doing effective damage to the enemy, that move is totally useless but in the point of throwing spite back to the enemy’s face, it visibly gives the ultimate result.
“Yo-you little~~~ WAPU!?”
Ishuteria who finally managed to raise her body up received a large amount of mud thrown intensely to her face. Before anyone noticed, Floria had already created some mudballs and threw them hard. Such timing! Much control! Wow!
“Did you know? Mud has a beautifying effect. More so that this mud was created by the goddess of abundance herself so the effect should be divine. Don’t you feel that your skin becomes much smoother~?”
“Tha-that’s it~! You managed to anger me, you know~? Floria-chan!”
“The angry one should be me, alright!? I will make you pay for being such an ass with 10 times the interest!!”
And then, the mud-slinging and mud wrestling match begins.
The fight between the two goddesses turns into an inelegant catfight where they would throw mud at each other when they are far and wrestle with each other in the mud when they are close.
“Hey hey! You have made this mud yourself so why don’t you have some to taste yourself!”
“Ara ara~ why don’t you also add more meat to your meager body? With the power of the mud that I created, I can make you plenty fat~”
Splash! Blub! Glub!
If one were to put sound effects to the two women’s battle then that would be it.
Just where did the grand battle where both parties use their divine power to battle each other go?
“Things have turned into a literal quagmire of mud-slinging contests……”
“Oniisan, are you trying to say something smart desuka?”
How does one judge the winner of this battle?
Renya had coolly said that he would make Floria the winner of this battle before it started but all he could do now is just to watch over the mud sling fest between the two goddesses.
Chapter 95 – 5th Passage of the Legend: Clash of the Goddess
There is no need for words.
The only important thing is to convert one’s own battle intent into a divine power blade and aim it at the enemy. Thus, Floria and Ishuteria charge at each other, attacking each other head-on.
What she wields in her hand is a divine sword.
She swings her divine sword, turning all her battle intent which is filled with the memories and wishes that belonged to her beloved war god into a blade.
For the sake of love, she wishes for the perfect technique.
For the sake of passion, she wishes for the perfect appearance for her perfect technique.
Her metamorphosis is proof of how deep her love is.
This is all for the sake of the war god who always stays by her side even when he constantly gallops across numerous wars.
And the sword technique that Floria mastered now has already reached the divine level.
Just a simple swing from her sword could rip the flesh from a god’s divine body.
Half of the blood that runs in her vein is the blood of the previous war god. And it enables her to master all kinds of weapons with ease, making it so that she could easily use all kinds of divine weapons that were created by Renya.
But, her opponent is also a goddess.
The bejeweled staff in her hand is not just an accessory as she also has the skill to wield it. Even when her title as the goddess of abundance makes it seem that war is an existence foreign to her, it doesn’t mean that in the eons of time that she had lived past was free from strife and dispute.
Whether it was an evil existence that surpasses human intelligence.
Or other beings on the same level as her that become fallen.
Or maybe, arrogant humans that had successfully overcome their limit.
With each battle she survived, she managed to collect more and more experience from it and of course, the skill that she constantly polish for eons had also reached the divine level.
The sword of the god and the staff of the god fiercely intersect with each other.
Each time the two divine objects hit against each other, the surrounding air would tremble. The aftershock from the impact sweeps violently like a storm. If not for the divine barrier that has been cast on beforehand, this ceremonial room would have been cleanly blown away and turned into a wasteland without even leaving any ruins behind.
After going back and forth until the 10th moves, the two goddesses retreat together to create some space between them.
Even when the ceremonial room is usually filled with traces of divine power, the concentration drastically changes because of the battle that happened. Even when that mentioned battle was started because of a questionable reason.
The air is thick with divine power that could make people choke their breath.
The change in this sacred place is a silent storyteller of the clash between two goddesses.
“Ara-ara~ so that’s why I could feel multiple divinities in you~. So you are a second-generation, right~? It actually makes sense now because you are still a fledgling goddess~”
“I could say the same for you. I thought that you are just a pervert middle-aged woman before but you also got the moves ain’t ya”
“…… Did I hear it wrong~? I think I just heard some words that are not supposed to be said to a goddess though~?”
“Of course you will start to become deaf. After all, all you do is just stay inside your territory like a hikkikomori and hunt for some men after sleeping for a few years. Isn’t that right, gran gran?”(Eros: Hikkikomori: someone who shut themself in their own room, refusing to go out)
“Th-this child~~~~!!! Aren’t you also just a cheeky brat that really lacks experience~? How dare you say that to me~!”
“Hmph hmph! I only belong to Renya in the past, present and forever so I’m fine being inexperienced! Isn’t it enough for me to just serve him and learn things that make him happy, right~?”
But when the two goddesses start opening their mouths, the epic battle from before instantly gone.
The two goddesses are fighting for the favor of one man and spewing curses and scathing words at each other.
They are beings that are far superior from normal mortals but the way they quarrel with each other is not that different from how mortal is. This gap, in a lot of meanings, makes Renya and the other girls have a hard time interfering in their quarrel.
“Actually, I thought I would never have to personally experience a shuraba like this”(Eros: Shuraba: in this context is a fight between many love interest)
“I also don’t expect Floria to be that angry. Is there such a big difference between creating a harem for Renya and having another woman trying to seduce you inside her head I wonder?”
“Ah~…… Perhaps, in Floria’s opinion, my harem is categorized as her precious ‘comrade’ which has a great meaning for her. I think. In Ishuteria’s case, she just wants to intrude in, have fun by herself, and leave after she is satisfied. And it seems that Ishuteria’s method rubs Floria’s reverse scale in the wrong way”
Against Brenda’s question, Renya tried to explain in his own way what triggered this battle according to his understanding of Floria’s personality and thoughts.
It could be said that Floria is a magnanimous person.
After all, it was her idea to create a harem for her lover. It is not their place who joined the harem to say this but it was all thanks to Floria as the first member of the harem who does not oppose it that the harem could finally be established in the end. If it was any other ordinary woman then that kind of scenario would rarely happen.
The reason for her magnanimity might root in her authority over love. No, rather than her authority, maybe it should be credited to her own personage herself that is big enough to accept a variety of loves.
Because the one she loves is doing it happily then she would accept it all to a certain extent.
Of course, in return for her magnanimity, she would also receive his love.
With that as her foundation, the girls that she accepted as her ‘comrade’ would receive her magnanimity in sharing her man’s love.
And that is also the main reason why she would turn hostile to other treacherous women who tried to stomp on her sacred place with their shoes on.

And that rule is also applicable to Renya himself. If he were ever to act in the opposite way of her love and trust, then her blazing passion will instantly turn into fury which would be pointed at him.
