Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 421 The Danger Of The Dimensional Cracks & A New Power

-----

A crisis?!

Well, I kind of knew already…

"I knew about it…" I sighed. "The Great Spirit told me."

"T-The Great Spirit of Harvest, you mean?!" Asked the Gods, most of the surprised.

And then they all glanced back at Gaia.

"Gaia, have you been watching over your Great Spirit?!" Asked the God of Fire.

"I-I… Well, I was going to tell you about this…" Gaia said, feeling slightly surprised. "C-Come on! Don't look at me like that! It's not as if having her in the other side won't be a good thing!"

"Hmmm…"

The God of Creation stroked his beard, nodding.

"Certainly, that is true. It is better this way to be honest. So you know about the Mana flowing into the other world, right?" Asked the God of Creation. "Great Spirit, there's no point in hiding your presence either."

POOF!

Suddenly, the Great Spirit of Harvest showed up, in her carrot form, of course.

"A-Ahahaha… H-Hello there, Great Lord!"

The God of Creation sighed, he seemed to know about her mischief.

"Anyways, as we were talking before. After the Demon King's attack into your world, we managed to stop it from becoming a world-scale catastrophe, and it only ended in minimum damage. However, the immense quantities of Mana from our world that ended leaking to your world had already begun to create permanent changes in Earth. And amongst them, one that could cause great damage if it succeeds on its totality is… The cracks left behind between both of our worlds."

"Cracks?" I wondered. "But I thought they were all healed?"

"Not all of them." Sighed the God of Creation. "A few hundred, if not thousands, incredibly small cracks were left open. They're constantly leaking more Mana into your world. We cannot pinpoint them with great detail due to their insanely small sizes."

"And things seem to be getting worse as entities from our world may, or have already begun, to infiltrate into your own, Planta…" Gaia sighed. "That's why, as you and your friends have the knowledge of this world's truth, we would like to ask you to close these cracks for us. Some of them can only be closed back in Earth, and not here."

"T-That's… an insane task you're asking!" I said in surprise. "Y-You think I can even do it? I don't… even know how to manipulate space…"

"Don't worry about that, through our connection and the Great Spirit's aid, once you find one, we'll quickly know and through our powers connecting into your body as a vessel, you'll be able to seal these cracks." Said The God of Creation, granting me a small spark of light, which entered my soul.

FLAAASH!

It didn't manifested as a skill, nor title, or anything like that… Yet I felt like I gained a really important new power.

"This is a power that will manifest in both this world and the other." Said Gaia. "It is not connected with the System either."

"I-I see…" I said, feeling as if within my body back in Earth, something new was engraved in my Magic Circle.

"This power comes with different abilities. We have decided to name it the first "Gift"." Said the God of Creation. "Planta, you might be the first "Gifted" in your world, as there may be many more in the future."

"The first gifted…?" I wondered.

"We've named this power we created as [Pathway], and it creates paths for us to connect our powers and manifest a small fraction into your world through your real life body." Said the God of Fire. "Make sure to not abuse it!"

"Well, she cannot use it without at least the permission of one of us." Said the Goddess of Water. "It's not like she can use it whenever she pleases."

"T-Thanks for such a gift… I will make sure to help you." I sighed.

"Eh? That fast?!" The Gods were left surprised.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I wondered.

"We thought… you would ask for more compensations." The God of Creation said, raising an eyebrow.

"The task we are giving to you is most likely incredibly arduous, yet you didn't even doubted once the gift was given…" The Fire God said.

"Well, I can now see why you like her so much, Gaia…" The Goddess of Water smiled back at me. "She's truly a pure hearted woman."

"I… I just feel guilty about it myself as well. If I hadn't doubted so much back then… If I hadn't hesitated like I did, nothing of this would had happened. I am… partially in fault for these things." I sighed. "If being a mother has taught me anything is that I have my own responsibilities, I cannot just brush them over or forget about them…"

The gods began talking with one another, looking at me with surprise over my honest words.

"We are most delighted by your honesty, Planta. None of us ever believed you were in fault for anything that happened. Even more, we are the only ones here to blame." Sighed the God of Creation.

"We are sorry for giving you such a responsibility." Said the Gods.

"W-Well, don't worry about it! However… I would really like if you could give me some… perks?" I asked.

"Oho, so you did wanted something." Laughed the God of Creation, his laughter was like that of Santa Claus. "Tell me what do you want, we'll consider it once we hear it."

"I want… The ability to open my in-game Inventory in the other world!" I said while burrowing my eyebrows, mustering all my resolve into asking something completely shameless.

"What?!"

"Such a thing…"

"I see, she wants it so she can use the powerful items of our world, isn't it?"

"It certainly is easier than granting her more power as well."

"For that, I can do it, god of creation."

What I assumed was the God of Space, which resembled a man made entirely out of nebulas, seemed willing to do it!

"Hmmm… This is certainly something… Well..." Sighed the God of Creation.

He looked into my eyes, as I gave him the saddest puppy face I could!

"Sigh…" He groaned. "Fine, but only if you use it with responsibility! If you ever use it to do something bad, or to hurt innocents, I will take away that power."

"Alright!" I nodded confidently.

The God of Creation and the God of Space glanced at one another, nodding.

A spark of light emerged from both of their index fingers, combining into a single cube-shaped mass of divine power, which flew into my soul, fusing with it.

FLAAASH!
