This place was… unfamiliar, alien, even.

Yet, it was still very familiar at the same time, I remember it.

I had visited it once, several years in the past in the same way I did when I was sleeping.

This place of endless light, atop the skies, Heaven, where the Gods of this world reside.

I found myself standing in the middle of a hall.

The blinding light slowly became dimmer, or perhaps my own eyes accustomed to the light.

The point is, as the scenery around me became clearer, I realized I was in the middle of several enormously tall figures.

All of them sitting over gigantic thrones made of colorful lights.

Their appearances were distinct with one another. Some resembled burly bearded men, others beautiful ladies. Some were covered from head to toe on black robes, and others in armor.

But from what I could tell, they were twelve, Twelve Titans.

They emanated an enormously powerful Divine Aura of various elements, not just light.

I even felt the lugubrious presence of darkness in here, fire, wind, water, ice… how many of these beings are there?

They\'re all Gods.

Are these the same Gods of this world\'s twelve pantheons, the twelve that control all elements?

From what I could notice, they were six women and six men.

"Welcome, Sylphy, dear."

The one whose voice I recognized spoke, Theia, the Goddess that gave me my Divine Protection.

"Is that you Theia?! What is going on? Why was I called here?"

"Uwaah!"

Suddenly, I heard Aquarina\'s voice, she appeared right behind me as well!

"Aquarina!?"

"Sylphy!"

She quickly ran towards me, hugging me tightly as she felt afraid of what was happening.

"Calm down, everything\'s okay… T-They\'re the Gods, they\'re… good, I think."

"The Gods?" Aquarina seemed confused, but quickly recalled the appearance of an old man far away, with a long gray bear wearing blue clothes and a crown made of blue jewels holding an immense trident. "Ah, that\'s… Oceanus!"

"Aquarina. It is good to see you well and healthy, you\'ve grown taller and more beautiful." Oceanus greeted Aquarina.

Oceanus was the God of the Sea and something like that… He was the patron god of Aquarina, giving her the divine protection she has.

"So why are we here?" I asked again.

"These two girls are the strongest heroes available?" Asked one of the goddesses.

"Yes, the others have yet to fully develop and grow stronger." Said Theia.

"What about the other ones? They\'re already stronger and competent!" Said another goddess, wearing armor.

"They don\'t desire to battle anymore." Oceanus interrupted. "We also lost over half of them."

"It is a good time to let them be." Sighed Theia.

"Huh, you guys talk like you\'re being so considerate, yet you give the Hero Titles to those very hero\'s children. Don\'t you think it is a bit counter producent? If you wanted them to have a rest then why did you made their kids the heroes?" I asked boldly, interrupting the figures in front of me.

Their sizes were overwhelming, their power superior to all, their gazes pierced my very soul.

But you know what? I was tired.

I was tired of their shit!

"Insolent child! We merely choose the most competent within the entire world. Your Mana capacity surpasses every single living being in this world. You were obviously going to be chosen. The power you hold has a responsibility; you simply can\'t think that you can have a leisure life while holding the power to destroy this world!" Suddenly the armored goddess spoke angrily, pointing her enormous Divine Spear at my face. "In fact, shouldn\'t we kill you right now?! You\'re insolent and ungrateful, and also a threat! If we eliminate you right now, we would have one less annoyance to deal with! If we let you be, you\'ll only turn out like the other traitorous hero…"

I felt his deadly presence encompass me. I was facing sure death, and not the normal one. She was totally capable of destroying my entire soul if she wanted. That divine spear of hers… it was incredibly strong.

"THEMIS!"

However, a burly man covered on flames and with a bright sun on top of his head, as if it were a crown, spoke. His hands quickly pointing at Themis, the Goddess that threatened me.

"Do you think you can leisurely threaten the Heroes now? You\'re in front of all eleven of us! Now lower your weapon! Are you seriously being provoked by the ignorant words of a child?" Sighed the man.

"Hyperion…" Muttered Themis, sighing and then calming down, but giving me a last deadly glare with her bright eyes. "Hmph… I will let this slide."

"Let this slide?" I asked with a smile. "Do you actually think I was scared of you?"

Themis suddenly began gritting her teeth in fury.

"Sylphy please calm down!" Theia tried to calm me down.

"Calm down?! Do you know how much shit we have gone through?! We fought True Demons and all! Cultists serving Evil God showed up and killed so many people! Do you have anything to say against this?! You\'re all an incompetent bunch! In fact, can\'t we take away these shitty divine protections?! Aquarina and I don\'t want them! They\'re a curse! Find someone insane enough to do your bidding!" I said furiously.

"S-Sylphy calm down please!" Aquarina tried to calm me down, but I was at my limit.

"You bring us here out of nowhere, force us to do your bidding, and even threaten our lives like nothing! If we are such an insignificant existence to all you bunch of damned hypocrites, then why don\'t you let us in peace?! We never choose to do any of this! Just get your shit together and take care of your problems yourselves!"

I protested with everything I had. The Gods remained silent as they looked at me. Every single one of them seemed completely in disbelief of my words. Perhaps no mortal had ever told them to get their shit together at all.

"You\'ve done it now… I will not tolerate your insolence any further!"

Themis quickly raised her Divine Spear, shining divine power emerged within the skies.

"If you want to be left in peace so badly, then I\'ll give you that favor!"

FLAAAASH!
