God is a Game Designer 88 C87 Cannibalizing a Goddess

Everyone stood outside the house, staring at Nathan's fist in shock and disgust as they had just learnt the fact about the strange crystal skin fragment. No one dared speak a word as the anger rolling from the Arch Gods shoulders seemed almost to cause the air to heat up around him.

"Why is such a thing inside a young girl's stomach. It does not make sense as to why such a valuable item is sitting inside a child's stomach."

Nathan stood staring for a moment as he looked at the city of Senoa, his eyes staring off into the distance as he knew which group could do something so horrible no matter what the plans involved.

"This was done by the church for whatever reason. They are the only ones who have access. Either it was done by a single person or group inside the church or done by them as a whole. We need to figure out who and then stop them. This reign has gone on far too long in my opinion."

Nathan finished as he looked back to the shack, his eyes focusing on a Nees who had come out looking for them, her eyes filled with tears as she was currently clearing each eye before smiling to them all.

"I think you wanted to talk sir?" She said to Nathan with the highest amount of respect she could muster inside her heart.

"Please call me Nathan. Let's talk around the back and let your children rest."

Nathan and the group moved with Nees around the building, surrounded by poles with so much laundry on as everyone took a seat on old wooden furniture that had seen better days.

"I need to thank you, Nathan, from the bottom of my heart. My child has recently become sick. I thought it was over till a few days ago when she became like this, so sick she was unable to move at all."

Nees felt her heart jumping in her chest as she held her hands close as her legs pressed together in worry, her mind trying to put together what had happened.

"If I can help you in any way I can, please let me know. I will be glad to help you... If I could ask a question first? As something that has remained in my mind after what you have done needs an answer."

Nathan looked at the woman with a slight bit of confusion as she did not outright ask the question but pleaded for permission.

"You want to know who I am?"

As he spoke these words, Nee's mouth slowly dropped to the floor as she looked at the man with some fear but mostly awe in her eyes. It was clear that he had hit the nail cleanly on the head.

"I'm a God. I sound instead stuck up for saying that honestly but It's the most accurate. I've come to try and sort out so many of the problems in Senoa."

The words making Nees almost cry out again, it was pure luck that this person had ran into her. Maybe not even that. Perhaps it was divine intervention that had saved both herself and her daughter.

"Sorry for asking, let me answer your questions, my lord."

Nees spoke in a soft, respectful manner as she lowered her head to the man.

"Please call me Nathan."

It took a few minutes, sweat starting to form on Nees face and neck as she heard the request. It felt like needles prickling her skin.

"I cant. You are a God. I have to treat you with respect as one."

Nathan let out a small groan as he rubbed his head, a small smile crossing his face as he knew exactly how to tease this woman.

"As your God. I command you to call me Nathan. That includes you not adding in any titles."

Both Bull and Azo, who both silently had watched this entire thing began to chuckle as the woman started to stream and malfunction as it took a few minutes to speak.

"Yes... Nathan?"

Nathan blinked as he stared at the woman for a moment, feeling a strange cuteness come over him as he watched the shy woman act. He just wanted to hold her and laugh at the same time. This feeling was rather odd.

"Excellent. I need you to tell me about any recent changes. Anything to do with your daughter as well. Tell me about the medicine you got her and the illness she had."

Nees nodded as she pressed her tongue against her cracked lips, it was clear she had suffered from lack of food and drink, Nathan pushing a skinned water pouch into her hand as he let her take it to drink from. Nees was blushing in response as she started speaking.

"It started around two weeks ago, Mea was about in the streets with a few friends playing. I was doing my laundry as usual when she got bit by a rabid animal. From the descriptions, it looked almost like a dog but flesh hanging from its body and face with blazing white eyes."

Azo blinked as he moved forward, taking a seat closer himself as he spoke.

"That sounds like a Dire Undead Wolf. It's a medium tier of undead that was somewhat common inside the dungeon. It requires a specific potion made with anti-poison magic to cure."

Nees nodded her head to the statement as she held her face, recalling the moments as the tears started to shed again.

"I tried to purchase the potion. It cost almost twenty-five thousand gold from every slum vendor. The price became so inflated after the adventurers guild closed due to the halls of the damned getting cleared out of the undead."

Nees rubbed her eyes as she bit into her lip, looking up at them all with worry as she continued.

"The only one who could cure her was the local priest of Dusk. He offered a bottle with divinity inside. Two thousand gold and my daughter became well again."

Nathan watched as the woman's face turned back to a smile as she remembered her own daughter growing well again, the smile turning back to sorrow as she continued.

"Till she became bedridden again, this time unable to move or speak in a comatose. I spent all my gold, borrowed and stole anything I could to get all those potions from other dealers and even the church. Nothing worked till you came."

Nathan felt his rage growing, staring at the woman as he stood up with his eyes looking to the city.

"Nees, The Church Poisoned, your daughter."
