Vera's Soliloquy

...

Soon, very soon... I will become a new goddess. Just like my friend Kurousagi—she became a new goddess in our realm and pantheon, the Egyptian pantheon. However, I will be a new goddess for the Greek pantheon. It was finalized during the meeting in the Underworld, however, they were attacked back. Aaron was the one to repel it along with Team Slash/Dog.

However, according to Master Ra, I will be a goddess for both the Greek gods and the Egyptian gods. Therefore, I'm not entirely sure how that will work, but... if it's done by Aaron, it will surely go smoothly.

After coming back from my trip to his [Pocket Dimension] and learning the truth about him... I was shocked, if I'm being honest. To think the multiverse theory was real—no, the omniverse? Regardless... even more powerful people are out there, but he did reassure us that once he evolved that he would have a plan and forbid any kind of world/universe travel.

I, along with many others were curious about his plan, but he refused to tell us... but Miss Suzaku Himejima had an idea, but was also sworn to secrecy. I told both my parents after I discussed with Aaron about becoming a new goddess or war for the Greek gods.

I didn't mind. I did spend a lot of time there and got to know many of them, and I am close with quite a few of them, especially Mistress Amalthea. However, it was decided that the process would take place during the festival to commemorate Miss Rini and Kuro. But I guess I will be added to that too...

I feel a bit embarrassed when I think about it. Even more so after I told my parents. They were absolutely overjoyed, even more so when Master Ra and Mistress Hathoth came here to tell them of the news. My mom initially fainted, and then my dad headed out to drink with his friends to celebrate, and then mom had a meeting with her friends too.

Even my other friends came to congratulate me. I was happy and embarrassed, but... I wonder if Kuro felt like this? I asked her about it, but all she said was that she felt honored and her life belonged to 'Aaron-sama'. It's obvious how she feels about him... but I also have mixed feelings about him...

We spoke about it, and he'll do the same thing to my body, like he did with Kurousagi's. He will make a new one, and transfer my soul + consciousness into it. Just like Kuro, I'll be a Draconic Rabbit Goddess. In addition to this, he will also gift me Ares' divinity, the previous God of War. But according to Aaron, he also upgraded it, so I will be even more powerful than him... well, I already am, but even more so with his divinity.

He said he'd leave it up to me to figure out and master since it would be better that way, but I do have an idea of what it might be since he personally helped me train many times during our stay in the [Pocket Dimension].

I... I would be if I said that I didn't like him either. 100 years... that's a substantial amount of time to be with someone. It would be strange not to develop some sort of feeling for someone. Unfortunately, or fortunately, whichever way I look at it... I fell for the current Harem King of the supernatural world, who my best friend is also in love with.

I feel like it would be messy if it were not for it being HIM specifically...

"Vera? What are you doing? Come here, we have to prepare!" my dad said very enthusiastically.

He had come over to the rabbit village in the Greek god's realm and is helping out with the preparations for the festival. As I mentioned earlier, many of the people in my town... their opinions of Aaron have changed. From preventing an attack, helping Kuro get a new body and becoming a goddess, to revealing Halzaham's wicked nature and his evil deeds, and finally—helping defend and save our realm.
