"Yes, but it failed."
"Failed?"
"Yeah, look."
Eina saw the sacred text on his back fading away. This meant he had failed to become a member of Goddess Hestia's Familia, and naturally, he could not receive a blessing.
"Why did it fail?"
"I don't know."
Hestia shook her head blankly as well.
"Then, Miss Hestia, what are you hiding? What did you see? Miss Astrea refused to tell me too."
"Astrea?"
So it was an acquaintance. Back in the Heavenly Realm, she had also been quite close to Hestia.
After descending to the lower world, Hestia had thought she would get to see her, but something seemed to have happened, causing Astrea to leave Orario many years ago.
"Goddess Astrea?"
Eina was equally shocked.
When this goddess had been in Orario, she had been extremely famous.
During the dark age when evil spread throughout the city, Astrea's Familia faction had protected the weak and punished the strong, doing everything in their power to maintain Orario's order and peace. They had practically been the embodiment of justice.
Ah, that was simply the truth. They were justice itself.
This goddess was the one who governed justice and order.
But a goddess like that was bound to be a thorn in many people's eyes. As a result, she had suffered a massive scheme several years ago. Her Familia had almost been wiped out overnight, and their Main God had ultimately been forced to flee the city.
Normally, no one would be foolish enough to directly attack a god. But evil people had no bottom line. Sometimes, there was no need to inflict physical harm; psychological harm could make a god suffer endlessly.
In the end, they would force the god to act and be sent back to the Heavenly Realm.
"God Eater."
