"Whoosh—!"
The fierce midnight wind swept through the entire Ishtar Familia palace like invisible ocean waves, turning the air somewhat chilly.
On the open-air balcony, Ishtar's seductive lips trembled, and her feet involuntarily retreated.
Feeling the heavy pressure permeating the air and looking at the figure standing against the wind atop the railing, Ishtar spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Wh... why are you here?"
Hearing that, Noah merely looked down at the Goddess whose delicate body was trembling and whose steps kept retreating, a feeling close to fury rising in his heart.
Noah knew that Ishtar was an extremely petty Goddess, so petty that she could not tolerate even a grain of sand.
Out of one-sided jealousy, this Goddess had treated Freyja as an enemy, constantly excluding and slandering her, resorting to every possible means. It made people feel that this woman was not a Goddess who governed love and beauty at all, but a thoroughly venomous woman.
