[Divine Protection] Goddess of the Underworld, Altesia
[Attributes] Darkness, DeathI can hear a voice from the dark abyss.

"Boy."

It was gentle, full of hate, and at the same time... nauseating.

"Awaken."

A fluffily floating like sensation blew an intense will into me.

"Awaken, my child."

That will dominated my body.

At the voice's dictate, I opened my eyes, and before me was a woman accompanied by countless snakes.

"Have you finally awoken? To actually make your mother wait, how bold of you."

Snakes of different colors coiled about around her voluptuous naked body, declaring her divinity.

Her body looked to have been sculpted by the gods themselves, having no trace of imperfection. On her abundant breasts, was a four-eyed snake, colored like that of fine dress, snuggly wrapped around her, seemingly emphasizing her seductive features. From her perfectly sculpted feet to her thighs, loosely crawling about was a black, twin-headed snake. And covering her lower body, was a green Yamata no Orochi with a red spiral pattern engraved into it.

Her red lips were redder than blood itself. Her face perfect without any fault. Her nose, her mouth, every part carefully positioned to perfection. Her eyes shone gold, a color of lust gleaming through them. Her slightly wavy hair was bluer than the blue sky. And behind her were innumerable snakes.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, I suppose."

Her honey-like sweet voice resounded in my ears, carrying with it seduction and a tinge of blood. My heart was greatly rattled.

"Who are you?"

She is alluring, so alluring that if I were to relax for even a moment, I would surely find myself bowed to her.

I fought that urge while I kept my heart calm.

"But you already know that, right?"

What an enchanting smile, so much so that it feels as if it could melt any man's heart. To that vicious smile that could charm even a demon, I could only grit my teeth as I endured.

"Altesia (Goddess of the Underworld), is it?"

"Yes, that's right. Oh, how I adore clever children."

Those words almost broke my hips, but I somehow managed to fill my heart with hate and keep my calm.

"A soul that doesn't match that small body. How amusing... It's good that we're finally able to talk like this."

As Altesia spoke, I was at my wit's end. At any time it felt as if I could be washed away by the feeling of being loved that was like lukewarm water.

"How cruel."

That relaxed atmosphere suddenly, in one instant, turned cold. Her gold-colored pupils gazed into me a bone-freezing glance.

That atmosphere finally allowed me to regain my composure.

"There's something I want to ask."

Altesia, looking down on me, scowled without emotion.

"Were you the one who interfered with my thoughts?"
