Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

"And it's done." The God of Space said. "Be careful when utilizing it. Don't show it to other people aside from those you trust the most. Also, to take out items, you'll need to spend Mana due to the System not existing in the other side to help you, so you're limited in the quality of items you can retrieve. Higher quality items cost a lot, especially equipment and items. I would suggest to better create your own items in the other world utilizing low ranked materials, that would save you more time and Mana."

"I-I see…" I nodded. "As of now up to which quality rank can I take out?" I wondered.

"Hmm, most likely only up to Rank D." Said the God of Space. "If you grow stronger or expand your Mana through the enhancement of your Physique and Magic Circle, you may improve."

"If there's a big emergency, we might grant you our own energy as Mana as well, but we will not help you at all times, so please don't grow conceited." The Goddess of Water said.

"Our power is also not unlimited." The God of Creation assured me. "But as long as it is to accomplish the quest we've given to you, rest assured that we will aid you."

"I understand, thank you. So who am I exactly dealing with?" I wondered.

"Phantasmos, one of the Death Generals of the Demon King of Death, Thanatos." The God of Creation said.

"Phan… tasmos?!" I asked. "And General?! Wait, what?! Did he went to our world?! Isn't he a super high-level monster?!"

"We have no idea of his true appearance or power level. But we are sure that he might have grown weaker by going to your world, after all your world is still in the process of "Awakening" and its Mana is not as big as our world. Which means that Undead without physical forms have a harder time there without mana in the environment to feed on and maintain their forms." Nyx said.

"Yeah, Planta, we are sorry…" Sighed Gaia. "We can't really tell you more because we simply have no idea ourselves. Phantasmos was the only one capable of sneaking through the cracks easily. Whatever he's planning, he might try to bring even more of his companions to the other world… A Catastrophe is assured, even now."

"We know you can't do the impossible, so we will not ask you to stop him directly or seek him at all costs. But your new powers will give you the ability to find his trails and whatever he might leave behind. Find the cracks, close them, and if you can, if you ever find him… destroy him. Once you fight him, we will grant you a small piece of our essence so you can deal with him." The God of Creation said. "However, it still depends in your personal growth if you can handle such power. Great Spirit of Harvest, make sure to help her grow stronger in the other world as well."

"Y-Yes my lord!" The cocky Great Spirit was acting very polite and submissive in front of the Gods, which was quite the shock.

However, I kind of get it. I won't be able to hold their power if I have a weak body after all. I have to grow stronger myself to channel it correctly. This [Pathway] power and then [Inventory] will surely facilitate this, however!

If I can drag items from the other world to earth and use them as materials, I could increase the growth of my magic circle a lot, and might even be able to finally develop a "physique" or whatever they're called.

"Now we've given you all the tools and told you everything we could." Said Gaia. "Good luck, Planta."

"Indeed, may fortune be at your side. We'll be watching you and also trying to keep this world from fragmenting anymore." The God of Creation said.

"Wait! I still have something… to ask." I said, looking back at the big figures.

"Huh? Yes?" The God of Creation wondered.

"I… When I defeated the Demon King, I saw through his memories. His old memories. I saw his origin, and how you created him and then… due to the plot of other gods, he was turned mad by a curse. After that, he was thrown away from heaven, and fragmented into seven fragments, the seven demon kings." I said. "I… Erebus, do you remember him?"

The Gods suddenly fell silent, their eyes opening wide.

"You can… see the memories of ancient souls?"

"Incredible…"

"Was such a power a manifestation of Gaia's divine protection?"

"No, this is something she has herself!"

The gods began talking with one another, whispering about things I couldn't hear from below here. It made me slightly nervous… If these gods are really the same as before, they should at least feel guilty about what they did, no? I just… want to know.

After talking between one another for a little while, they stopped, glancing back at me with worried expressions.

"Planta, we appreciate you. We also trust you as someone that could help us, and we will do everything we can to also protect your world." The God of Creation said. "However… We cannot talk about that."

"Not yet." Gaia sighed.

"Eh? Why?" I asked.

"You're not prepared." Nyx said. "Not yet, child."

"But…! Why?! What's there to be prepared for?!" I wondered.

"It is not something to decide by ourselves." The God of Creation said.

Wait, what?! Not something they can decide themselves? Aren't they the Gods? Is there… something else controlling them or something? Someone else behind this?

"Is it the System?" I wondered.

The gods glanced at one another. It seemed they simply couldn't talk about it, yet it felt like the System might have something to do with it.

"It is not the System, but someone behind it." Gaia said.

"Gaia! You shouldn't tell her!" The Fire God roared back at her.

"Sorry, Planta, but we cannot disclose more information… Let's say it is like a contract, we are bound to this contract, if we disclose anymore, we will be punished by violating this contract." The God of Creation sighed. "Please, forgive us."
