Chapter 33: Please Contact the Parents!
The visitor appears to be a female.
Soren’s figure merged into the shadows, quietly observing the goddess who was lingering outside his home’s walls, seemingly preparing to climb over the wall but hesitating due to fear. From his initial assessment, Soren determined that the other party was a goddess of **Weak Divine Power**. There aren’t many goddesses at this level of divine power, and by analyzing her physical characteristics, he could roughly deduce who she was.
There are quite a number of female deities in the **Pantheon**.
However, based on the behavior traits of the visitor and her innate slightly frivolous vibe, Soren could guess her identity quite well.
—“Cat and Goddess of Joy – Siris!”
There is a passage about her that records: “Siris loves to tease handsome and beautiful mortals, always unable to restrain herself from flirting with everyone she encounters. However, once her enthusiasm fades after being fulfilled, she quickly becomes troubled and bored, setting out again to seek new excitement. She has a strong hatred for serpentine creatures governed by Set.”
In the entire Pantheon.
Among the goddesses, the most frivolous and flirtatious are two: one is the Goddess of Love – Shuni, and the other is the Cat and Goddess of Joy – Siris.
Although Soren had long heard of Siris’s renowned name, especially about the things she was taught by the **Lady of the Night**, which were widely circulated among adventurers, today was still the first time he had encountered the Cat and Goddess of Joy, and he was somewhat curious about the goddess before him. She was currently lingering outside his home’s wall, looking as if she wanted to do something bad, but her sneaky expression didn’t seem like she was planning a major wrongdoing; it was probably something minor like petty theft.
Siris was a voluptuous female.
Her current appearance must have been masked; a goddess like her couldn’t walk around in her true form, as it was said that her beauty could rival that of the Goddess of Love.
Soren stood in place for a while.
He noticed that Siris seemed to be conflicted. Based on the current situation, it was clear that something inside Soren’s manor attracted her, making her unable to resist the urge to enter, yet Soren’s presence caused her a slight sense of dread, making her dare only to hesitantly linger outside the wall, but she had been struggling for a long time without taking action.
“It seems like she’s not planning to do anything bad?”
Soren shook his head with a smile. Not wanting to waste time on this frivolous goddess type, he directly canceled his invisibility and appeared behind her, slowly saying, “Lady Siris! I wonder what brings you to linger outside my wall for so long?”
Sizzle!
A cold light flickered.
A sharp claw sheath lunged toward Soren, but he remained unfazed, casually waving his hand to deflect the attack with empty hands, and in the same motion, he used a monk’s inner strength to send her flying. To be honest, there were very few goddesses in the Pantheon with substantial combat power; although many female deities held very important divine professions, many were related to their natures, and only a few had notable combat abilities.
There is nothing one can do.
The innate ability of women to bear children occupies a significant weight in divine professions.
The sudden appearance of Soren evidently startled the Cat and Goddess of Joy – Siris; she reacted like an agitated cat, immediately launching an attack on Soren.
Speaking of an agitated cat, it must be said that this comparison is very fitting.
Because the weapon of the Cat and Goddess of Joy – Siris is called the **Giant Cat Claw**, a pair of artifact-level claw sheaths.
That’s right.
This goddess is a cat enthusiast, and her personality is also very similar to that of feline animals, with her primary divine profession being **Cats**.
“Sir… Soren, Your Excellency!…”
Her frenzied counterattack was easily deflected by Soren, and the Cat and Goddess of Joy – Siris regained some composure; upon seeing Soren, she quickly guessed his identity, since in Modo City, there was likely only Soren, who wielded the dominion of **Shadows** and **Wanderer**, capable of detecting her and sneaking up behind her without her noticing.
Siris’s expression turned somewhat awkward, but more than that was a hint of nervousness and fear; Soren’s fearsome reputation unsettled her.
“I… I just happened to pass by here!…” The Cat and Goddess of Joy seemed intimidated by Soren, stammering.
Soren revealed a playful smile and slowly said, “Lady Siris.”
“You don’t really think such a poor lie could trick me, do you?”
“If that’s truly the case! Then I have to think you are insulting my intelligence! It just so happens that my church is holding a large celebration soon! Why not as punishment have you perform a dance at the celebration!… For example, your favorite **Dance of the Night**!…”
Saying this, Soren’s expression turned somewhat mischievous.
Hearing Soren’s words, Siris’s face turned pale, especially at the mention of the **Dance of the Night**, which was a dance she favored during her most debauched period. The Cat and Goddess of Joy was puzzled as to why Soren knew such things, but given the circumstances, she could only come clean. So, it seemed she had given up on resistance and said, “I was just bored and came out to wander.”
“While playing in Modo City, I happened to encounter a cat girl.”
“The number of cat-type Beastmen has become extremely rare! So rare that even the gods can’t easily encounter them! I really liked this cat girl, so I secretly followed her, not expecting to run into your vicinity.”
“I hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether I should go in.”
To be honest.
When the Cat and Goddess of Joy spoke again, Soren had prepared a divine technique to detect lies, but he never expected that the real reason she voiced would leave him speechless.
Fine.
No wonder her believers are a bunch of eccentric individuals!
This is a typical case of a crooked top beam leading to a crooked lower beam; whatever unreliable gods there are, there will be a group of equally unreliable believers.
“Well, my sister’s little maid.”
Soren glanced at her and knew what she was thinking, slowly saying, “She will never allow you to be her believer. Moreover, given the current turbulent situation, you yourself are barely safe, yet you are still looking to run around.”
“As fellow deities, I have to admit that I feel a hint of concern for your thoughts!”
Hearing Soren’s words, the face of the Cat and Goddess of Joy turned a bit red; she is a goddess with a roaming addiction, and the last time things were turbulent was also because she wandered around, which landed her in the trap of the Lady of the Night.
Unexpectedly, she still hasn’t learned her lesson!
Given the current situation in the **Material Plane**, Siris should be obediently hiding behind the Goddess of Love seeking protection, after all, the Goddess of Love is a goddess of **Strong Divine Power**, and she can still provide some protection.
“Though the Lady of the Night is currently missing.”
Soren stared at the Cat and Goddess of Joy before him, and slowly said, “She has never forgotten the fact that you escaped from her grasp.”
Upon hearing Soren’s words, Siris’s expression suddenly changed.
She could feel a bit of kindness from Soren, but her feline nature made her dislike being treated like a child.
She had to keep in mind that she was a goddess!
A true goddess! And she had become a deity many years before Soren!
But she couldn’t refute Soren’s words, as with her strength, she indeed couldn’t protect herself against many enemies. Currently, she was safe solely because of her divine disguise; if she encountered enemies capable of seeing through her disguise and tricks, then Siris’s situation would be extremely perilous.
Faced with the silent Cat and Goddess of Joy, Soren thought for a moment and waved his hand.
A golden divine light shot directly towards a corner of Modo Harbor, followed by another divine light response, and the next moment, the Temple of the Goddess of Joy manifested a hazy figure and swiftly approached Soren’s position.
There was no way around it.
After all, Siris was a bona fide goddess; Soren could advise her but could not reprimand her. Since he had a decent impression of the goddess before him, he thought it would be best to cultivate some good relations.
To deal with this wandering goddess who often had intermittent fits of chaos, Soren could only bring out his trump card!
—”Please contact the parents!”
Due to historical reasons, the Cat and Goddess of Joy – Siris had always been sheltered under the Goddess of Love, effectively making her a half-servant of the Goddess of Love. The relationship between the divine professions of **Joy** and **Love** is well understood, so to some extent, the Goddess of Love is like her parent. For this powerful goddess, Soren felt it was necessary to establish contact, as regardless of the circumstances, it would be advantageous to become familiar, as it may be useful in the future.
Perfect!
Today, he can use the reason of “catching the Cat and Goddess of Joy to take her home” to have the Goddess of Joy contact the Goddess of Love and then directly bring Siris back.
To prevent her from running around outside and encountering danger, and to conveniently meet the powerful goddess of **Strong Divine Power**, the Goddess of Love.
