A Mother's Love

"She is crazy! Annihilating almost half of a Kingdom, she must be sick on the head." Everyone that was watching screamed, and all of them felt a big explosion happening far away.

But for those that were unlucky to be caught up by it, they are dead already. Some of the Elf, Human, and Dwarves were crying and panicking all over.

But, Yuki was calm as ever, she looked at the horizon where she saw a portion of an entire Mystic Dragon Heaven got destroyed. Normally, this kind of thing is not allowed, but that is only applied to the Gods, and because Yuki is not a Goddess yet, she would not be punished for what she has done.

The Gods that were residing, and protecting the Mystic Dragon are not happy with Yuki's action, but they couldn't do anything to her because of the restrictions.

"This woman, how dare he touch my people." One of the human gods looked at Yuki with full hostility, and the Gods from the other two races also agreed with them. As for the others, they didn't pay attention to it that much, but they would also agree that Yuki was going too far in what she did.

"Hey! You Beast Gods! Isn't your Race going too far!? She killed half of our Race!?" The Human Gods started to complain about the Beast Gods, and because of this, the Beast Gods got scared of them.

Even though they were all Gods, they don't have the same power as the other Gods here, so in truth, they are just some servants for them.

"That- We're sorry, but you also know the rules of being a God. We cannot interfere with the matters of Mortals." The Beast Gods said, they then lower their heads in shame. The worst part is that their number is extremely low, they only number 35, as for the other Gods, they range in 60 each.

Not just do they lose in strength, but they also lose in numbers. So they are naturally bullied, and because of this, they vented their anger on the Beast Race on Mystic Dragon Heaven for being incompetent.

"You f*cking useless things!" The Human God was about to raise his hand at one of the Beast Gods when someone suddenly caught his hand.

"Oh? A puny little Human God dares to hurt my Beast Race in my presence?" All of them saw a white flowy hair waving around the space.

"Who the hell are you to stop me!? Do you not know who I am!?" The Human God released himself from the grasp of the white-haired woman and screamed at her.

"I'm Ayame, the Goddess of all Beast, so what do you think, do I need to know you? You're just a little bug in my presence that I could kill at any moment." Ayame easily crushed the man's head, but she was careful enough to not kill him.

She decided to visit this place after seeing what Yuki had just done, and she was 100% sure that the Gods in the Mystic Dragon Heaven would get angered by what she had done, so she went here to protect Yuki by warning all the Gods not to mess with her.

"Beast Goddesses!" All the other Beast Gods immediately went to their knees after they realized who was the person in front of them.

"Now, I didn't come here to kill all of you. But, I am going to say something. That person is my cousin, so if I ever see you messing with her, I'm going to murder all of you." Ayame warned all of them, that she needed to do this because what Yuki did would spread throughout the Celestial Star Heaven.

So what Ayame and Serene did was to warn everyone. So that Yuki could at least safely go to the higher heaven as Yuki would need to meet them and pass their test before she is allowed to go to another Heaven. But, they were careful enough to not say that Yuki is her daughter, people would believe she is her cousin because she and Yuki looked alike.

"She's your cousin!? We're sorry, Beast Goddess, please spare our lives. We would not dare to mess with her ever again, we would even let her pass the trial without taking it anymore." The Human God that got his head crushed immediately went on his knees and apologized.

"No, don't do that. If you even can, make the test much harder than usual, but be sure that it's still passable for a mortal." Ayame didn't take the offer.

"What, make it even harder?"

"Yes, I don't want this cousin of mine to grow up spoiled. She is the daughter of my sister, so I'm going to be her teacher when she ascends to becoming a Goddess." Ayame said.

"We got it, we promise you that we will do what you said." The Human God said politely.

"Good. And you, you guys are useless. Even if you think that the Beast Race is incompetent, don't you think that you should help them, instead of doing nothing." Ayame began to scold the Beast Gods.

"Yes, we understand. We're very sorry, and we will make things right now." The Beast Gods looked at each other first, then they nodded at Ayame respectfully.

"Then have this. This would only be unlocked if you do what I told you and if ever one of you does something to her. Then this item would break." Ayame placed a black box at them that had chains all around them that were made out of Divine Energy from Ayame's power.

"What is inside of that Goddess?"

"Oh, this? It's only a cluster of 1% of my powers, and there is enough for everyone here. I don't need to explain how this would help you right?" Seeing that everyone nodded at her, Ayame finally vanished from everyone's sight.

What the Mana Cluster would do is make Gods even stronger if they absorbed it, and the one in front of them came from the second strongest Goddess. If they successfully make the power in that their own, their power would soar even higher, but there is a chance of failure.

"Then, let's all agree. Don't mess with that woman, and the people that she is close with." All of them quickly agreed since all of them wanted a chance to get even stronger. After they became a God, their strengths didn't improve anymore.

And now that they were given a chance to change that, they would not risk anything more than to do their mission perfectly.

Once everything was done, Yuki got back to her house which she was given by King Dagart. After entering, she immediately went to find Aika, and she was so glad to see her natural skin color back to normal again.

Yuki slowly kneeled to the ground and held Aika's small hand, and muttered quietly.

"Don't worry my daughter, I have already punished those people. I only hope for you to get better. I can't believe I'm going to do this but, to God, please protect my daughter, don't let her get consumed by the trauma that she might feel." Yuki closed her eyes and prayed after years of not praying.

Suddenly, Yuki felt Aika's hand also grasp her, and when she looked up. She saw Aika looking at her.

"Mommy?"
