Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil
chapter-1840

Inside a private hall of the Goddess Great Mother's grand temple.

Assuming a lotus position, Simi activated her Tantra practice to calm her body and soul.

Saith was outside the Yantra restrictions she had placed to practice in peace. However, she didn't pay him much attention and concentrated on getting to her peak mental and physical condition.

Simi spent a few hours practicing her Tantra. The goddess' blessing helped her in the process, making it easy for her to progress forward in her Path bit by bit.

However, on this day, Simi practiced her Tantra for a different reason. She wanted to summon the goddess' Divine Sense within her. And as such, she was preparing a vessel to contain the goddess' Divine Sense. Her own body.

When she confirmed that her body was enriched with Nature mana to the brim, Simi decided to proceed forward with the plan. She took out the stone Saith had handed to her and placed it above her open right palm.

She placed her left palm under her right palm and started pouring Nature mana into the stone while operating on her Tantra once again.

The stone's surface started cracking gradually as more and more Nature Mana was poured into it. It took a while for the complete destruction of the stone. But when it did, Simi was well prepared. She activated the Yantra formation around her before absorbing the faith energy that had been trapped inside the stone.

With faith energy as fuel, Simi activated the blessings she had received from the Goddess Great Mother, and in the next moment, the sky above the grand temple started changing its color and state.

It was still early in the morning. However, when Simi activated her blessing, the rain clouds were summoned in the region from nowhere. The dark gray shade of these newly summoned clouds soon turned black as they started gathering around a large region.

The winds picked up speed and started making peculiar sounds. Yet, they were somehow gentle enough not to cause harm to the low-ranked entities present in the region.

Soon, a gentle rain started pouring from the heavens. It seemed that the rainwater was enriched in Nature Mana, expediting the growth of the plants and vegetation inside the region as it fell directly on them.

The low-ranked Amazonians welcomed this rain on their bodies, drenching themselves in it with extreme happiness on their faces and adoration for their goddess.

Some of them found out that their stagnant progress in the Path had been rebooted as the Nature Mana in the rainwater entered their bodies. Some of them directly broke through their bottlenecks and achieved huge success for themselves.

Even the low-ranked entities who were not Amazonians benefited from this rain. To them, the Nature mana-induced rainwater was akin to a very premium-grade elixir that not only enriched their bodies but also strengthened their souls.

Who would say no to a free upgrade?

All of a sudden, the gray clouds vanished, and the sky cleared in an instant as if the rain was nothing but a figment of one's imagination. The sunrays hit the region and illuminated it in their golden bright light. The sounds of ancient Mantras could be heard in the distance as a sky-piercing pillar of light was summoned right above the grand temple. It was as if the light pillar had connected the grand temple to a celestial heaven above.

Goddess Great Mother's presence spread in the surroundings, making her followers get on their knees and kowtow in the direction of the grand temple no matter where they were. All of them realized that something really groundbreaking was going on inside the grand temple.

All of them decided to stop what they were doing and visit the grand temple. They even started to contact the followers all across Labh Salem who were currently not in the region, asking them to visit the grand temple as soon as they could.

Some started posting live footage of the divine phenomenon on Agora with various titles and praises for Goddess Great Mother. These feeds quickly gained traction. They also made the demonic forces unrestful as they realized the Goddess Great Mother had chosen an incarnation of herself to wield her Authority in Labh Salem.

Possessing Saith with his completely aware consciousness, Eren watched all the divine phenomena around him with a calm gaze and an even calmer mind. He could tell that Simi's efforts were successful, and she had become the incarnation of the goddess. However, he didn't rush inside the private hall and waited for her to come out silently.

Eren could hear the chants and prayers being offered to the goddess by zealous voices outside the grand temple's premises. Thankfully, Simi had made prior arrangements and sealed the entrances and exits of the grand temple temporarily before erecting an S-Ranked barrier.

This was done to ensure that no unrest was caused by the devout followers of the goddess inside the grand temple. With this move, she also prevented nefarious actors from other faiths, especially the demonic entities, from acting against the goddess' interests.

With the Goddess Great Mother successfully managing to establish her presence in Labh Salem through her incarnation, her popularity and faith were bound to grow. The Mesh also made it a bit easier for her followers to add new members to the faith.

The giant doors of the private hall were soon creaked open. Simi walked out from it with a gentle smile on her face.

However, Eren guessed that it was not Simi who was controlling her body at this point. He felt a familiar feeling coming from within her that he knew only belonged to a certain goddess he had encountered back in Anfang.

Simi, or rather Goddess Great Mother, looked at Eren and smiled brightly. She soon started walking towards him with leisured steps. Her presence was covered in the divine aura, making her come across as welcoming and intimidating at the same time.

If there were any mortals or low-ranked entities present in Eren's shoes, they would have had to bow down completely, on their knees, in front of the goddess' presence.

However, Eren merely offered a simple light bow in front of the goddess before speaking up. "Thank you for seeing me, Goddess Great Mother," he said sincerely as he raised his head and looked her in the eyes.
