[The Twin Goddesses of Genesis]

Anyways, we were able to safely receive Fluga-sama’s power.

Since her power was ‘destruction’, many of Combat Arts and Magic Arts she gave had high destructive power, some even allowed me to move as fast as lightning; they’d definitely be very useful in combat.

And as usual, I also received a skill.

『Skill――《Absolute Destruction》：Able to destroy everything in existence, but the effect is halved before the power of god.』

It was practically the same as the power Fluga-sama had demonstrated earlier, and it could be said that I’d be invincible against opponents who didn’t have the power of god.

But putting it in the other way around, this skill wouldn’t be so useful against opponent who had the power of god. For example, possessors of Sacred Treasures, which was the crystallization of the power of god.

Sacred Treasures—even until now, they were still a mystery to us.

Hence, I decided to ask Fluga-sama about what these ‘Sacred Treasures’ were and who ‘The Goddess of the End’ was but,

“…I see. Goddess of the End and Sacred Treasures have appeared again, huh…”

Her reaction was somewhat complicated.

I supposed they weren’t a pleasant topic for her.

“Yes. Do you know something about them, Fluga-sama?” But the threat that was the ‘saints’ was imminent, I couldn’t drop it just like that.

Fluga-sama heaved a small sigh, before scratching her head and saying, “—D’you guys know the story of ‘Goddesses of Genesis’?”

““““““?”””””” We all tilted our heads.

Fluga-sama slow and carefully explained, “Goddesses of Genesis are twins. The humans call one of them ‘Goddess of Creation’. You have heard of her, right?”

“Y-yes. We are taught that she is the goddess who bestow skills upon us…” Magmell answered.

Fluga-sama nodded, “Well, that’s not totally wrong. After all, the Goddess of Creation—Olgou is the one who created humans.”

““““““!””””””

Goddess of Creation—Olgou.

She was the one who created us humans.

Then the one who created demi-humans was…

Without waiting for me to ask, Fluga-sama shrugged her shoulders and said, “Incidentally, the one who created demi-humans was Olgou as well. Or more like, everything that lives in this world is basically Olgou’s creation.”

“Fumu. Then what did the Goddess of the End create?” Arca asked.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Fluga-sama said matter-of-factly, “—She created the monsters.”

““““““!?”””””” We all instantly lost for words.

“But,” Fluga-sama continued in a lonely manner, “don’t get the wrong idea, okay? She didn’t create them to disturb harmony. She, the Goddess of the End ‘Phinis’, just wanted to be a mother.”

“A mother…?”

As Tirna curiously titled her head, Fluga-sama said with a regrettable look on her face, “Yeah. Olgou had the power to create ‘life’. Well, to be more precise, she had ‘the power to create lifeforms that have the cycle of being born with skill, growing, procreating, and dying before being reborn’. Now, with all that being said, isn’t it about time you notice it?”

“Uhh, could you be referring to the fact that she owned the traits of all of you the five goddesses?”

When I asked reservedly, Fluga-sama nodded with a bold look on her face, “I expect no less from my husband. You’re pretty perceptive. That’s right, Olgou had all the powers of us five. That’s because, Olgou was our original self.”

““““““Wha!?””””””

As we went wide-eyed due to Fluga-sama’s words, her expression changed back to a lonely one and she continued, “…But fate is cruel. While Olgou had such a power, her twin, Phinis, didn’t. No, she actually had the same power, but it was the polar opposite to her sister’s.”

“Polar opposite?” Zana asked.

“Yeah, that’s right. Simply put, everything Phinis created had the tendency of ‘destroying’ Olgou’s creations. The monsters are a good example of that. They have no particular reason behind why they attack you humans. They just have the thought of ‘destroy Olgou’s creations’ planted in their instinct.”

“T-that’s the reason why our lives are threatened every day!?” Magmell couldn’t hold herself back from snapping.

“Yeah,” Fluga-sama mercilessly nodded.

“That’s just awful…”

“The reason why Olgou rebirthed as us five goddesses was to protect the beings that live in this world. But well, a very long time passed and we ended up neglecting our duties! I mean, there were you saintesses and saints to take care most of them anyway!

“Dahaha!” Fluga-sama laughed seemingly feeling no guilt. As we were looking at her with dumbfounded eyes, she suddenly changed her expression to a serious one and said, “Okay, that’s it for the fun talks. Cause now, we’ll be getting into the war with the Goddess of the End Phinis.”

““““““—!?”””””” Of course, we were taken aback.
