Chapter-43
Seeing Lucoa nodding her head, everyone disappeared along with Lucoa and appeared in their old position, and continued to explore the town.
Lucoa looked around the town and saw different species working together, and she also sensed many people having some type of tools in their soul, she became curious and analyze them, and seeing the result, she was shocked, as this world is weaker than her world, but they have this type of tools that she saw for the first time, but she also knew the flaw of the tools, so she looked at Grayfia and asked,
"Grayfia, why are there so many defective tools in the souls of people?"
"Ah, they are tools created by one of the main gods of this world, as to help humanity, but after his death, the system which manages it is not working properly, so there may be some defects in them, Lucoa-sama."
"I see, then it explains, but why Anos hadn't helped them?"
"Why would Anos-sama do that?"
"Isn't he, the strongest of this world, and protect it?"
"There is something you are mistaken about, Lucoa-sama, Anos-sama isn't of this world, and he is protecting it because it's like his home base."
"Then, why he tell me to leave this world when I am healed."
"You should talk about that to Anos-sama, as I think Anos-sama doesn't mean that."
Lucoa nodded her head and replied,
"Then I will do that, so where could I meet him?"
"You could meet him a day after tomorrow, in the Underworld, Luco-sama."
Grayfia knew that Anos doesn't completely mean when he told Lucoa to leave the world as she could feel that he is a little angry as his sleep was affected, and it's just that, because of which, she told Lucoa to come a day after tomorrow.
Lucoa nodded her head and Serafall, who was in the front turned towards Grayfia and asked,
"Fia-chan, is Anos-chan alright?"
Grayfia simply nodded her head, but she also caught the sight of frown on Sona's face and thought, 'Sona may have felt something was off, as she had Anos-sama's bloodline, but it's weird, as there shouldn't be a connection like that, or she deducted all that, ahh right she deducted all that, as she could easily deduct Anos-sama's behavior towards love, so it is nothing strange, I guess.'
Of course, Lucoa also noticed the frown on Sona's face, but don't say anything, and Serafall, seeing Grayfia nodding relaxed and looked at Lucoa and asked with asked, with a smile,
"Lucoa-san, are you, like, really, a former Goddess?"
"Yes, and it's been a long time, I had been exiled, so there is no worry."
Serafall nodded her head, but she don't ask the reason, as she had seen that Lucoa don't want to talk about it.
"Then were you dragon goddess or something like that?", Serafall asked.
"Yes, I used to be a Dragon Goddess.", Lucoa replied.
Lucoa then looked at Yueru and asked,
"Yueru, you are also a dragon, right?"
Yueru nodded her head and replied,
"Yes, I am."
"I could feel that your bloodline is purer than mine, which should be difficult, as this world is on the weak scale."
Lucoa knew about the fact that some worlds are weak, while some are strong, as she had traveled to other worlds in the past, so she is surprised, as Yueru's bloodline is purer than her, meaning, if no mistakes happen, Yueru will become stronger than her.
"It's because of Master Ophis, that I was given this opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
Lucoa knew and could feel that Ophis is a dragon when she saw her before, but when she looked into Ophis eyes, all she felt was that she would get lost in those eyes, she felt like she was staring in an infinite abyss, which never holds any interest to look back at her and she knew that, if those eyes did, then she would be lost forever, in the infinite cycle.
"I am a part of her peerage, to be more precise, I am Bishop, and Master Ophis uses the piece created by Master Anos."
"What is peerage?"
"Peerage...", Grayfia answered, as she explained about peerage and about the piece Ophis had used.
Lucoa nodded her head and turned towards Ning'er and spoke in a tone filled with curiosity,
"I see, so that's why she also felt like a dragon but on a weaker scale."
"Yes, Senior Lucoa, I am also a member of Mater's Peerage, a Knight."
"Anno, why are you all addressing me differently?"
"Because not all of them present here are of the same world, Lucoa-sama.", Grayfia answered.
"Then let me guess, Ziyun, Ning'er, Yu Yan, and Yueru are of a different world, as they had a different energy than others, and the rest are using the same energy, except for(Looking towards Sona) Sona, her aura is vastly similar to Anos, and also Grayfia is using both types of energies, and Ziyun had a similar aura to Grayfia, so I guess she should be a part of Grayfia's peerage."
Lucoa's eyes showed a little bit of fear and more curiosity when she looked at Sona, as her Aura is full of destruction and tyranny, but in full control, which is a fearful thing to achieve.
Everyone looked at her, with their eyes wide open, as she could guess or predict this much from their actions and aura's, and Serafall looked at Lucoa and spoke,
"I guess, as expected of an old goddess....."
Lucoa heard that but decided to ignore that, as her age is not something she wants to talk to talk about, and Grayfia looked at her with wariness in her eyes, as she can't just trust her and the reason for answering her questions is because every answer had Anos's name, which would make sure that Lucoa doesn't act out of boundaries.
Lucoa then looked at Yueru and spoke,
"So, could I also join this peerage thing?"
"You have to ask Master Ophis for that, but I think she may not be rejecting you, as you are a dragon."
Lucoa nodded her head and replied,
"Then I will do that."
"Why do you want to be a member of Ophis-nee-sama's peerage, Lucoa-sama?", Sona asked, as she is curious about the reason, others also looked at Lucoa, waiting for an answer.
"Because it seems interesting.", Lucoa replied, while putting her finger on her chin, and tilting her head.
The others look at her with an unbelievable look, and Lucoa seeing that smiled. Grayfia looked at that smile and knew that her nature is also similar to Anos and Ophis, and somewhat herself, and keep quiet.
"Then just because you found it interesting, you want to do it?", Sona asked, as she can't believe that someone wants to potentially become a semi-servant just because they found it interesting.
"I mean, there are not many interesting things happening around me as of late, and the world I could easily travel to are weak in strength, so it became boring for me, but now I found something this interesting, then how could I miss that."
Everyone nodded their head, as they could somewhat guess that Lucoa is very old, even more than Yu Yan, and only Yu Yan could understand that how painful it is, not to find something interesting, as she had spent a long time alone.
Seeing them nodding, Lucoa spoke again,
"Then let's continue the tour?"
They then started to look around the town, while also traveling some places outside the town, suggested by Cleria. After some hours, Grayfia looked at everyone and spoke,
"Then, I have to take my leave, as there is some work left at the mansion to do."
Everyone nodded their head and said goodbye to her, and Grayfia made a portal and stepped in it.
Lucoa looked at the portal with interest, as she was not able to analyze it before, but now she could and saw that Grayfia is using the Space element itself, not with magic, but the element itself, and the Laws are helping her reach her direction, which is shocking, as to understand an element to this extent require both talent and time, and she knew that Grayfia could use more elements, as her aura is based on Ice.
After that, everyone went towards Cleria's mansion, but on the way, they felt an energy signature coming towards them, and Serafall sensing that cursed, but not before covering Sona and Tsubaki's ears with magic,
"What the hell that rapist bastard is doing here?"
Everyone was surprised, as, from her behavior, it doesn't look like she could ever swear to someone, but hearing her now, they knew that she is not what she had shown to others. Lucoa also sensed that and spoke,
"What is a medium-level god doing here?"
Everyone looked in the direction and soon a man landed in front of them, the man looked at the beauties in front of him, with lust in his eyes and spoke,
