Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Medusa Reclaims the Name of Goddess
"T-This is the Mother Goddess!?"
The elderly man didn't recognize Medusa at first.
[The idol they worship is the most primordial Medusa.]
[To be precise, it is the Trinity of her.]
[The current Medusa is only one aspect of it.]
[Originally, there was a certain difference between her appearance and Medusa, and the appearance of the idol has been worn away over time.]
[Later generations can only continue to repair and repair it.]
[In the end, the idol and Medusa became two separate people.]
[It is not surprising that a group of believers did not recognize Medusa at first.]
[Although the appearance of the idol does not match Medusa,]
[However, the temperament and charm remaining on the idol cannot be changed no matter what.]
[After everyone heard Moran's words,]
[They carefully observed Medusa and reached a consensus.]
[Although there are some deviations in appearance from what they know, this must be the real goddess.]
"Mother Goddess… there's no mistake…!"
"Ah… she really exists… our faith is not an illusion… it is as real as the Olympian Gods!"
"Please bestow mercy… please…"
Before Medusa could speak,
These Pelasgians knelt down and prayed.
"Moran… wh-what should we do!"
Looking at their almost devoted appearance, Medusa didn't know what to say for a while.
She doesn't think she is that sacred at all.
Moran shrugged and said:
"I'm not a goddess, you are the goddess. Now is the time for you, as the goddess, to make a decision."
"Don't tease me, I'm not qualified… This occasion is more suitable for elder sister and second sister! To be honest, my memory of the past is very vague…"
Medusa looked like she was about to cry.
She and Moran could only talk while hiding from the Pelasgians.
Although Medusa looks like an ice beauty, what you see is not necessarily consistent with the actual situation.
On weekdays, she would blush if she looked at Moran for too long.
She looks like a mature woman, but she is unexpectedly innocent.
"The Mother Goddess worshiped by the Pelasgians is indeed me, to be precise, it should be the original Medusa, that is, the time when I was not cursed at the beginning. Only when I am completely united with the two elder sisters can I reproduce my former Mother Goddess posture…"
Medusa explained the reason to Moran.
Medusa was originally a complete Earth Mother Goddess.
Later, the concept of the Trinity appeared.
In the Greek Age of Gods, she was more directly cursed, so she became this Trinity.
"So, to ask me to regain the identity of the goddess… um… it's a bit difficult…"
"That's what you say, but the Pelasgians have identified you as their Mother Goddess. It's not whether you are worthy or not, but that you are considered by them to be a Mother Goddess worthy of faith."
Moran hit the most critical point in one sentence.
The Pelasgians have always believed in Medusa.
[Since ancient times, most gods are self-righteous megalomaniacs, and Medusa is one of the few who is the opposite.]
[When thinking about whether she is qualified,]
[She is already better than a bunch of gods.]
[After all, some gods are indeed excessive to the point of being unreasonable.]
[Doing the deeds of demons in the body of gods]
[There are too many examples of this kind.]
"Medusa, be more confident. In my opinion, if even you are not worthy of being called a goddess, then there is no one in the world who is qualified to be called a goddess. Don't worry, I will always be with you."
"Moran…"
Medusa felt the temperature in her hand.
Looking at the man who had been with her all the time.
What she thought about was not being a goddess, but wanting to stay with the man in front of her until the end of time.
How much she loves him.
Being trusted like this, and with such a serious look.
Medusa also wanted to respond shyly.
Being trusted by the person she loves, she also naturally wants to become like a goddess.
I want him to like me more.
"Those children believe in me, they came here with the determination to face death. No matter what, I can't be cruel enough to let them leave like this… so… I'll give it a try…"
"You can be more confident."
"I've worked hard! Moran, you must help me, otherwise I don't know if I can hold on…"
Medusa looked at Moran with tears in her eyes.
This look is very similar to when she was bullied by Stheno and Euryale, making people feel overly cute.
So pitiful that people can't ignore it.
No wonder those two like to bully Medusa so much.
Moran understood immediately.
[In this way, Medusa regained the name of goddess.]
[The Pelasgians were so moved by the return of the goddess that they wept, and they offered the purest faith to the Gorgon sisters.]
[Although Medusa is not used to it, she believes that with your help, she can become a qualified goddess.]
[Stheno and Euryale found it very interesting.]
[They believe that a goddess must have believers to worship, so they gladly accepted the faith of the Pelasgians.]
[Although the number of Pelasgians is small,]
[However, their faith is extremely pure.]
[The Pelasgians who came to the island established villages, and the island gradually became vibrant.]
[You hold the Golden Fleece, which symbolizes wealth and happiness.]
[The Pelasgians on the island have a bumper harvest every year, and the dragon species summoned by the Golden Fleece can also protect them from monster attacks.]
[For a time, the island was harmonious.]
[People were grateful to Medusa for bringing happiness and stability, and believed that the Mother Goddess had given them all of this.]
[Their faith is growing stronger.]
[Not only that, after the first batch of Pelasgians settled down, the Pelasgians scattered all over Greece heard the news, and they began to know that the Mother Goddess they once believed in was alive.]
[More and more devout believers rushed to come. They are the old people who cannot get on the ships of the new era. In their eyes, this Shapeless Isle is the only Noah's Ark in the world.]
[The last pure land of the old era's faith.]
[With the continuous influx of devout Pelasgians, the original dozens of people increased to hundreds or thousands.]
[The size of the village-sized settlement has expanded to the size of a town.]
"My child was born smoothly, praise the Mother Goddess!"
"This year is a year of harvest! Thanks to the protection of the Mother Goddess! When we go out to sea to fish, sea beasts dare not approach us!"
"And Lord Moran! He has stabilized foreign trade for us! There will be merchant ships from Iolcos tomorrow! The fur of monsters can be sold at a high price again! Winter reserves…"
"We must repair and rebuild the temple of the Mother Goddess as soon as possible! We must repay the love of the Mother Goddess and Lord Moran!"
[Although the days on the Shapeless Isle were difficult at first,]
[However, everyone's face is filled with happy smiles, and their eyes are filled with the light of hope for a better future.]
[They will not fear any suffering.]
[Because they believe in their gods.]
