109 Ch. 106 - The Flower turns out to be the Goddess?

Just as Jin mentioned God, the world once again went into a halt except for Jin.

"Long time no see." Without even seeing God's figure, Jin already greeted him as if he were here.

"How's it going with you, son?" Jin heard his voice behind him, so he turned around and saw him walking towards him with his same old calm smile.

"As much as I want to say it's just fine but would you believe me?" Jin then flashed out a teasing smirk towards him. He knew that whatever he is doing here, God will always be watching him, though except for his private sessions.

"Nope. So, are you sure you want to leave now? Don't you want to meet this world's Goddess?" God then replied before asking with a smile.

"Goddess? Oh right, my mission. To be honest, I feel like the mission isn't that hard. I mean, you told me to watch over the Gods just in case they tried some means that will harm the Multiverse but so far, the first God I met was a weird drunkard and now, I almost forgot about this World's creator." Jin responded with a shrug of his shoulders before continuing.

"She should've at least approached me first, right? I mean, I just invaded her world and caused several changes under her nose." After Jin was finished speaking, God just mysteriously smiled at his small 'complaint' before eventually revealing the truth.

"I'm disappointed that you haven't realized it even now." God shook his head and said, much to Jin's stunned expression.

"Realized what now?" Jin raised his left eyebrow and asked in confusion and concern. It kinda hurts his feeling seeing that God was disappointed on him. Jin might not be a religious person but the moment he met God face to face and has always been under his care, Jin has already grown attached to him and already sees him as his own father.

'It's kind of weird, but who doesn't want to have God as your father?' Although Jin finded it a bit weird but he knows how to cherish things so instead of complaining about it, he just accepted it like a man. It's just like what God told him when they first met, that is to appreciate all the things that are granted to him. He learned this lesson when he first complained after claiming his first Gacha roll.

"You see. Gods are not someone you can easily trifle or play with. You must know that their strength exceeds your expectations on them. If you think they are beings who could create and destroy a universe, then that's just insulting them. They can do more than that. The reason why I brought you to these worlds are because I know the Gods and Goddesses who rules over them." God explained while Jin kept nodded his head several times before he continued.

"I am only contributing to your growth Jin, once I deemed your strength and mind worthy, only then I would bring you to a world where you would face real challenge." As of now, I need you to keep getting stronger."

After hearing what God said, Jin sighed and felt like an idiot for not noticing such thing. What's the point of his Iroh's template wisdom?

"I understand. What about this world's Goddess? Should I meet her?" Jin bowed his head in understanding before asking a question.

"Yes, in fact she has already been waiting for you, she cannot wait anymore to meet you, so do you remember the Flower that you saw a few days ago? Touch it and you shall meet her." God answered his question while telling him how to meet the Goddess next.

"I see. Thank you, God." Jin was about to bow his head once more but before he could do so, God held his shoulders, stopping him.

"Don't bow, Jin. Someone like you shouldn't bow to anyone." God said with a hint of mystery in his eyes.

"Someone like me?" Just as Jin was confused about what God told him, he suddenly realized that time went back to normal and God was nowhere to be found.

"....in?.....Jin?....JIN!" Suddenly, Tigress kept shaking his shoulder while calling out to his name, forcing him to wake up from stupor.

"W-what?" Widening his eyes slightly, he saw that Tigress and Rapunzel were looking at him in worry.

"You suddenly went in daze. Are you okay? Are you feeling well?" Tigress answered before flashing out two questions while putting her hand on his forehead, checking if he has a fever.

"How am I supposed to have a fever? An Angel can't even give me a challenge, much less a mere fever." Jin answered while chuckling to himself.

"And here I was getting worried about you." Tigress then made a deadpanned expression before pushing Jin away and started to walk out in frustration.

"Wait! Hold on! Tigress, wait! I was just joking!" Realizing what he's done, Jin quickly went to apologize. Even bringing out his secret technique by hugging her from behind and snaking his arms around her underboob.

"Look, I'm sorry okay?" Jin said and striking while the iron is hot, Jin went on to kiss Tigress on her nape.

"Nya~" Feeling the tickling sensation on her nape, Tigres unconciously moaned in delight before covering them quickly in embarrassment.

"Fine! I forgive you! Just....don't do that again, especially in public!" Smiling to himself in satisfaction, Tigress finally forgave Jin and after she was done, Jin proceeded to explain what God told him.

"You see. I wasn't in a daze earlier. I just met God and he told me a few things." Jin said while shrugging his shoulders.

"Not here." Since they were in a public hall where a staff or knight guard while accidentally eavesdrop on then, Tigress quickly grabbed Jin's collar and Rapunzel's arm before dragging them both back to their room.

***

"So, that's it....I didn't expect that God has everything planned out for you. Don't you think that he's spoiling you quite a bit? Are you sure you're not his illegitimate son or something?" Tigress asked while squinting her eyes at him in suspicion.

"Seriously. That's your reply? I thought you were gonna ask about the 'Flower' or something." Jin deadpanned stared at her before sighing to himself.

"Anyways, Elsa is already packing her bags so both of you should too. I'll be back shortly." After dropping those words, Jin left the room and started jogging towards the dining hall.

Since it is still morning, Jin assumed that the couple are probably in the dining room, eating their breakfast.

As expected, when he got in the dining room, he saw the both of them eating however, something seems to be wrong on Agnarr's expression.

'Why does it look like he's depressed or something?' Jin asked to himself however, he doesn't have any time to worry about him, so he didn't hesitate and quickly stated his purpose.

"Agnarr. I need to see the Flower." Jin directly said, making Agnarr choke on his food.

*Cough!* x3

The maids quickly grabbed a glass of water and handed it to Agnarr who quickly chugged down the glass.

"Cough! Cough! Sorry what were you saying?" Agnarr coughed for a few times to clear his throat so he could speak clearly.

"I said I need to see the Flower. And no, I'm not trying to take it for myself. I just need to test something out." Jin assumed that Agnarr was worried about him stealing the Flower, however that wasn't Jin's intentions, so he cleared the misunderstanding before it could escalete further.

"Cough...I wasn't worried about that. I was just stunned by your presence. Please enter the room like a normal person next time, okay?" After hearing what Agnarr said, Jin embarrassingly scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry 'bout that. I'll try to fix it next time." Jin apologized and replied.

"Thank you. Anyways, if I'm going to be honest, you can take the Flower for yourself. I don't need it anymore especially after what happened. I thought I am capable of protecting it." Agnarr's words shocked Jin quite a bit. He wasn't expecting this answer.

"What why?"

"Me and my brother only kept the Flower for ourselves because we were afraid that if it fell on the wrong hands, a huge chaos might ensue." Agnarr answered while taking a sip of his morning coffee before continuing.

"But now that you're here. I'm relieved that I could entrust it to you. Follow me." Agnarr then stood from the table and wiped his mouth clean with a white clothe before walking towards the garden.

After a few quick and turns, Jin and Agnarr arrived at a small corner where Jin was met with the golden resplendent Flower that shines the small corner of the garden.

"It's amazing." Although Jin has already seen the flower, but seeing it up close is different, so he was mesmerized by its beauty. And this beauty reminds him if Rapunzel.

'Time to meet you, Goddess. Hopefully, you will be normal unlike he drunkard God that I competed with.' Jin casted a silent prayer in his heart before his hand started reaching out towards the Flower and as soon as his fingertips touched the small petal, Jin's eyes suddenly glowed in gold.

Agnarr, who was watching his actions, were confused when he saw that Jin's entire figure suddenly froze as if his body was stopped in time.

Although he was worried and wanted to take Jin away from the Flower, however he's afraid that Jin might get angry at him if he did that, so he could only trust that Jin would be alright and nothing bad will happen to him.

***

While Agnarr was worrying about Jin, the latter suddenly found himself in a very vast expense of land full of lush grasses but no sign of trees.

"Where am I?" Jin searched around and asked out loud.

"It's nice to finally meet you, venerable devil."
