500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System-Chapter 431 Goddess Gathering
"I will come to see the island when everything at Torrain is done, and I can also start looking for a replacement if you want to step down as the Amazon Goddess," I explained as I gestured for a portal to open to the outside of Torrain.
"That would be nice, and if you could shrink me down to a reasonable eight feet tall, that would also be nice," Giantessa said, and I chuckled.
"What about if I just shrink you down to six feet for now?" I asked and added, "Then you will be the size of the other girls when they get here."
Giantessa nodded, and I opened the portal before telling her to step through so that she could see Torrain. The Amazon Island was a great place, but Giantessa had been here for five hundred years, and it would be nice if she were able to move on with her own life. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
I just hoped that the new Amazon Goddess was the one that could take on the challenges that would be ahead. They weren't going to stop fighting in one day, but taking the time to listen and teach them was the first step towards peace. That, or I would just beat it into their thick heads. Hard to tell until I got there to see them, but the way Giantessa attacked me right off and Kalli's aggressiveness were clear signs that it might be needed.
"The city is large but hardly impressive," Giantessa said, and I grinned as I led her through the portal.
"That is what we are here for," I said, but when I stepped out of the portal, I shrunk down till I was being dangled off the ground. "Can you put me down, dear?"
Giantessa smiled and let go of my hand, and I fell to the ground, but when I hit the ground, I already had a spell ready. The massive woman shrunk down to slightly shorter than me, but then I hit her with the Cat God Spa 2.0 as portals started to open around us.
Goddesses started walking out, some of them rushing over to me, others keeping their distance, and some giving me dirty looks. Amanda, The Creator, and Goddess of the Golem, was one of the few that was glaring at me. She was probably pissed at me, but rightfully so since I haven't come to see her since I was there last.
"I am going to go see the girls. Are you okay here?" I asked Giantessa, and she nodded as Tallia, Goldy, Titania, Elfinia, Nya, and Claire came over.
"Galio, Nya~!" Nya cried as she jumped into my arms and rained kisses down on me.
"Hey, Kitten! Did you miss me?" I asked, and she cuddled into me, rubbing her cut white cat ear into the beard that was due for a trim.
"Yes, we missed you so much!" she said as I put her down, but then she turned towards Giantessa with a suspicious look. "Are you still planning to attack us?"
Giantessa flinched, but I reached over to take her hand and pull her to us. I wanted to use today and this meeting to mend up some bridges with the girls, and this was a good place to start. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
"She is not going to attack, but I asked her to come here just like all of you. I have some announcements to make, but I wish that everyone could have been here. Still, I need to go check up on the Mothers at City Hall, so just," I said, and then stomped out some spells to create a pavilion with comfortable chairs and a fire in the center. "Relax here till I get everything ready, and talk to the newer faces that did arrive."
"Good! If you could get your girls to behave, I would let you come and hunt on the island. The problem is that I know you aren't really mean, and so do the rest of your women, right, Nya~?" Nya asked and Giantessa sighed.
"That is something we are going to deal with today, or get started, but now play nice," I said, but Nya leaped on Giantessa.
"I never said that I didn't like her! I was just worried about my kittens, Nya~!" Nya purred as she cuddled into the shocked Giantessa, and I grinned at them both.
It felt like a step in the right direction, even though Giantessa was still a bit hesitant. They started chatting amongst themselves, and they seemed to be getting along well. It made me proud of them, and I smiled before walking away to talk to Amanda.
She was standing off on her own, but there were two more standing a bit behind her. Ochalla and Draconia were both glaring at me with narrowed eyes, crossed arms, and puffed chests, but I had to deal with one thing at a time.
"Amanda, I know things are awkward between us right now," I said as I looked into her golden eyes. "But I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry for what happened."
Amanda was silent for a few seconds before looking away and then back to me. The gears in her eyes were moving slowly, but then they sped up when she started to speak.
"You don't need to apologize, Ophiuchus. I know that you have been busy, but you told me that you would come to check up on me! You didn't even ask me about what I was working on! You just came in and told me what to do and then left!" Amanda said, and the anger in her voice was palpable.
"I know," I said, "But it is not like that anymore. I am here now, and I want to hear what you have been working on. I'm sorry for being so controlling back then; I just wanted to make sure things got done."
Amanda sighed and nodded, feeling a bit calmer as I stepped up closer to her.
"What have you been doing with yourself lately? I heard something about making a new product? Aquashell" I asked, and Amanda nodded.
