The Extra's Indifference

Chapter 48 Swear On Your...

?I found myself in an ethereal, boundless place that i couldn't understand where I am at all.

'I am probably some sort of soul form. But why I am still looking like Kayle?'

'Am i in a dream? But i am not the one that dreams when i sleep. Thus i can say that i am not dreaming and someone did something to me while i was sleeping.'

'The cause of this is probably the butterfly that followed me around.' I concluded.

"Will you show yourself instead of watching me like a stalker?" I said and looked at the butterfly.

I didn't even know if someone was really watching me through the butterfly. I just spoke according to my guess and my guess was true.

The butterfly was still on my shoulder, but when I spoke, the butterfly flew in front of me and its shape began to change.

The butterfly changed to a beautiful woman with long ears like that of elves, pale blue hair and heterochromatic eyes, which were crystal blue and blood red like that of an angel of Ilelia but this woman has 5 pairs of wings on her back and a halo that made of frozen blood hovers on her head but this woman's wings aren't like the angel's that I saw at the temple.

All angel's wings are the same. Bird like white or black wings. But every divine being's wings are different from each other.

For example, this woman's wings are made of frozen blood. So I could tell with ease that the woman in front of me is goddess Ilelia herself.

I looked at the goddess thoroughly, as it was close to impossible to see a divine being in this age.

Well, she was definitely beautiful. When I saw her, I understood that calling myself a divine beauty would be wrong. Ilelia was one or two steps ahead of me in the terms of beauty. If i am divine beauty, then what is she? Goddess of beauty? Nah, she is the goddess of ice and moons.

"It is a great honor for me, a mere mortal, to see a goddess with my own eyes. What do I owe this pleasure?" I said and bowed deeply.

I knew that this goddess couldn't kill me with normal means because, even though gods are powerful beings, they can't interact with the mortal realm. If Ilelia wants to kill me, she has to spend a considerable amount of power and sacrifice some of her divinity.

So, i wore a respectful attitude towards her to soften her attitude towards me if she plans to kill me.

"So you even know that I am a goddess huh... This makes it easier to talk." Ilelia said with a cold smile.

"Cut the useless talk and tell me how you know the forbidden knowledge?" Ilelia demanded with a cold tone.

'This goddess knows that I know something forbidden without what I said to someone. Did she read my mind? Nah, if she did that she wouldn't ask this. Did the god of knowledge say this to her? He is the god of knowledge so he might know the fact that I have too much knowledge for a mortal. Let's play dumb for the time being.'

"Oh divine being, i am sorry for my lack of intelligence as I don't know what are you saying." I said with confusion apparent on my face.

"Don't play dumb, puny mortal. If you don't answer my question I will freeze you and your soul for eternity." Ilelia said with a completely serious tone.

'She figured out too fast. It seems this goddess is too wary of me to leave me alive. I should persuade her somehow to leave me alive without sealing me or kill me completely, as it would be too boring for me to be sealed away in the ice for eternity.'

"Oh goddess, I know too much for a mere mortal, so can you please tell me about what you are asking?" I asked respectfully.

"How can you, a mere mortal knows the way to become a divine being?" Ilelia asked.

Well, if she doesn't know this, she must be not a mortal that became God with her own efforts but a mortal that became a god with the assistance of the world's will.

"Oh goddess Ilelia, I can answer this question pretty easily. But I have 2 conditions." I said with a calm smile and lifted 2 of my fingers.

? Ilelia looked at me with disbelief evident in her eyes. "State your conditions mortal." Ilelia said with an amused smile.

Well, it is a pretty bold move for a mortal to state condition to a divine being. So it was normal for her to look at me with disbelief and amusement.

Normally if a mortal meets a divine being they would throw themselves in a prostration position. But I didn't even prostrate, just bowed my head and to make matters worse, I wanted to state condition.

"Oh, goddess swear on your wings that you won't kill me or seal me directly and indirectly and you will me how you know that I have this knowledge." When my sentence ended the ethereal space got too cold that even I began to feel the pain of freezing alive.

Ilelia was looking at me with ice cold eyes and her blood red eye was shining ominously.

'Whopss... It seems i pushed Ilelia's buttons.'

"What did you say!? You, a mere mortal want me to swear on my wings!" Ilelia said harshly.

A divine being's wings are proof of their divine status. So when I asked her to swear on her wings, I meant for her to swear on her divinity.

'It seems she doesn't care about my knowledge or me. I need to change my way to get this goddess on my side. I wanted to be her saint while withholding my knowledge of the future but if she continues like this I will freeze because of her aura. I have to change my image to a desperate, weak mortal who is burdened by his great knowledge instead of playing dumb.'

"You will die in 50 years! You need me, or else all of you die!" I shouted with a desperate tone.
