Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with a Guide to the Greek Goddesses!

[Following the will of their ancestors, they had not forgotten.]

[On this land, already ruled by the Greek gods, they still held fast to the things of the past.]

[You must understand, this was the Age of Gods.]

[Humans could barely survive without the gods' protection.]

[As heretics, the Pelasgians were not protected by the Greek gods. It's unimaginable how they've survived until now.]

[It's unknown how they arrived at The Invisible Island.]

"Medusa, what do you think?"

Moran turned his head and spoke to Medusa beside him.

Looking at the hungry old, young, women, and children before them.

Countless people must have died on their journey to The Invisible Island. They had likely come with a resolve to stake everything.

Only to see the goddess their tribe believed in.

They believed this past Earth Mother Goddess would surely bestow her kindness.

Chapter 38: Medusa Rediscovers Her Goddess Name [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Votes!]

"Th-this is the Earth Mother Goddess!?"

The elderly man didn't recognize Medusa at first.

[The idol they worshipped was the most primordial Medusa.]

[To be precise, it was the three-in-one her.]

[The current Medusa was merely one aspect of her.]

[Originally, its appearance already differed somewhat from Medusa's, and the long passage of time had worn down the idol's form.]

[Later generations could only repair and repair it again.]

[Eventually, the idol and Medusa became two separate individuals.]

[It was not strange that the believers didn't recognize Medusa immediately.]

[Although the idol's appearance did not match Medusa's,]

[However, the aura and charm that remained on the idol were impossible to change.]

[After hearing Moran's words,]

[They observed Medusa carefully and reached a consensus.]

[Although there was a slight deviation from their perception in terms of appearance, this must be the genuine Goddess!]

"Earth Mother Goddess... it can't be wrong...!"

"Ahhh... it really exists... our faith is not an illusion... it's as real as the Olympian gods!"

"Please bestow your mercy... please..."

Before Medusa could even speak, these Pelasgians prostrated themselves in prayer.

"Moran... wh-what should I do!"

Seeing their piety, which seemed to offer their very bodies and souls, Medusa was momentarily at a loss for words.

She didn't think she deserved such divinity.

Moran shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I am not a goddess. You are the goddess. This is the time for you, as the Goddess, to make a decision."

"Stop teasing me. I don't have the qualifications... For this situation, my eldest sister and second sister would be more suitable! To be honest, my memories of the past are very vague..."

Medusa looked as if she were about to cry.

She could only speak to Moran while hiding from the Pelasgians.

Although Medusa appeared to be an ice-cold beauty, what was seen was not always the reality.

Normally, she would blush if she looked at Moran for too long.

She looked like a mature woman, but was surprisingly pure.

"It is true that the Earth Mother Goddess worshipped by the Pelasgians is me. To be precise, it should be the primordial Medusa, that is, when I was not yet cursed. Only by completely uniting with my two elder sisters might I be able to recreate my former divine form as the Earth Mother Goddess..."

Medusa explained the reason to Moran.

Medusa was originally a complete Earth Mother Goddess.

The concept of three-in-one appeared later.

In the Age of Gods in Greece, she was more directly cursed, which is why she became this three-in-one entity.

"So, asking me to reclaim my goddess identity... ugh... it's a bit too much to ask..."

"That's what you say, but the Pelasgians have already decided that you are their Earth Mother Goddess. It's not about whether you are worthy, but that they themselves consider you a worthy Earth Mother Goddess."

Moran hit the nail on the head.

The Pelasgians had always worshipped Medusa.

"Since ancient times, most gods have been arrogant megalomaniacs. Medusa is a rare exception."

"When she questioned her own worthiness..."

"She had already surpassed a multitude of gods."

"After all, some gods are truly unreasonable."

"Committing demonic acts while being divine."

"There are far too many such instances."

"Medusa, be more confident. In my eyes, if even you don't deserve the title of goddess, then no one in this world does. Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

"Moran..."

Medusa felt the warmth in her hand.

She looked at the man who had always been by her side.

She wasn't thinking about being a goddess, but about staying with the man before her until the end of time.

How much she depended on him.

Being trusted like this, and looked at with such earnest eyes.

Medusa felt shy but also wanted to reciprocate.

Being trusted by someone she loved like this, she naturally wanted to become like a goddess.

She wanted him to like her even more.

"Those children believe in me. They came here prepared to face death. No matter what, I can't be so cruel as to let them leave like this... So... I'll give it a try..."

"You can be more confident."

"I'm trying my best! Moran, you must help me, or I don't know if I can keep going..."

Medusa looked at Moran with teary eyes.

Her expression was exactly like when Stheno and Euryale bullied her, making her seem unbearably cute.

So pitiful that one couldn't ignore her.

No wonder those two liked to bully Medusa so much.

Moran understood instantly.

"And so, Medusa reclaimed the name of goddess."

"The Pelasgians were moved to tears by the goddess's return, offering their purest faith to the Gorgon Sisters."

"Although Medusa was unaccustomed to it, she believed that with your help, she could become a qualified goddess."

"Stheno and Euryale found it amusing."

"They believed a goddess must have followers to worship her, so they gladly accepted the Pelasgians' faith."

"Although the number of Pelasgians was small..."

"Their faith, however, was extremely pure."

"The Pelasgians who arrived on the island established villages, and the island gradually began to thrive."

"You possess the Golden Fleece, a symbol of wealth and happiness."

"The Pelasgians on the island reaped bountiful harvests year after year, and the Dragon Kind summoned by the Golden Fleece protected them from harm by monstrous beasts."

"For a time, the island was filled with harmony."

"The people were grateful to Medusa, who brought them happiness and stability, believing that the Earth Mother Goddess had bestowed all this upon them."

"Their faith grew stronger."

"Not only that, after the first batch of Pelasgians settled down, those scattered throughout Greece heard the news and learned that the mother goddess they once worshipped was alive."

"More and more devout followers rushed over. They were the old people who couldn't catch a ride on the ships of the new era, and this Invisible Island seemed like the last Noah's Ark in the world."

"The last sanctuary of faith from the old era."

"As devout Pelasgians continued to pour in, the original few dozen people grew to hundreds, then thousands."

"The settlements, initially the size of villages, expanded to the size of towns."

"My child has been successfully delivered! Praise the Mother Goddess!"

"This year is a year of abundant harvest! Thanks to the Mother Goddess's protection! When we go out to sea to fish, the sea beasts dare not approach us!"

"And Lord Moran! He stabilized our foreign trade! Tomorrow, a merchant ship from Iolcus will arrive! Monster pelts will fetch a high price again! Our winter reserves..."

"We must repair and rebuild the Mother Goddess's temple as soon as possible! We must repay the kindness of the Mother Goddess and Lord Moran!"

"Although life on the Invisible Island was difficult at first..."

"Yet, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and their eyes held the radiant hope for a beautiful future."

[They do not fear any hardship]

[Because they believe in their gods]

Chapter 39: Building the Temple, Raising the Torch[Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Votes!]

[Building the Temple, Raising the Torch]

[Offering faith once more to the ancient Earth Mother Goddess]

[Citizens and wyverns lifted the foundation stones into the dilapidated temple, while artisans carved and crafted with the utmost reverence]

[Several years have passed since the Pelasgians arrived on the island]

[The forests have become increasingly abundant]

[Many phantasmal species that were previously unseen have gradually begun to appear on this island]

[Hunters are filled with gratitude for the Mother Goddess's blessings]

[Every seed sown by the farmers has yielded a bountiful harvest, all of which portends prosperity]

[You watched all of this unfold]

The solemn and pure temple was filled with a sacred aura.

It was situated on a small hill overlooking the entire Invisible Island, built by renovating the site of a ruined temple.

"They're working so hard, those humans below, like ants, so amusing. My memories are too hazy and distant; I haven't seen such a scene in hundreds or thousands of years."

Stheno's delicate finger picked up a grape and placed it in her mouth.
