6 The second transformation unlocked
Noelle's temperament changed instantly after entering the dungeon, there is no longer a kind smile on her face and only a look full of seriousness remains.
The instinct developed during countless days of survival in the depths automatically activated.
She didn't bring much luggage, just a poor quality greatsword that she bought with the family allowance.
Earning curious glances from the adventurers due to the contrast between her casual clothing and the heavy weapon in her hands.
Which would later add more content to the rumors of the silver-haired super newcomer.
But she doesn't care, all her concentration is on the next trip and the possible dangers she may encounter.
She doesn't underestimate this place, she has learned the hard way how treacherous the dungeon can be and even if she is on the upper floors where she has an overwhelming advantage, she has no intention of being careless.
Her destination is the tenth floor, she plans to use the fog that covers the entire place as a facade to avoid unscrupulous glances.
Since she entered, she has not stopped, destroying every enemy she found in front of her with her overwhelming force.
She has not had time to practice the swordsmanship of the knights of Favonius, but over time her movements stopped being rigid and became more natural.
The monsters that she needed to hit multiple times now fall in one hit.
And without her realizing it, Noelle's temperament changed again.
She entered a state of extreme concentration, this as a result of the stress generated by returning to the dungeon.
Her mind calmed and she became an accurate machine that makes the most of the muscle memory and intuition inherited from Noelle.
There are no extra movements or extravagant actions, she executes a silent murderous march with the sole purpose of making her way in the shortest time possible.
Her beautiful white dress is still impeccable and there are no traces of blood or dirt on it. Demonstrating the level Noelle's battle skills have reached in this unique state.
The adventurers who encountered her were amazed by the wild charm displayed by the beautiful silver-haired young woman, but they also felt fear when saw her emotionless eyes.
Noelle's trance did not last long and she came to when she entered the foggy field of the tenth floor.
She's been holding back ever since she gained some power and her repressed emotions exploded when she got a chance.
After all in her slime form she has always been the one who has to run away.
A little surprised by the killing intent she silently developed towards the monsters in the dungeon. Noelle patted her face and quickly composed herself.
She understands that it is good to let these things out but she cannot let her negative emotions dominate her.
Having entered the thick fog out of sight of others, she found a cave with a low height and not too deep.
Access is difficult for ordinary adventurers and even a Pallum will not pass easily, which suits her needs perfectly.
Noelle took off all her clothes and carefully folded them into a leather bag that she had previously prepared, and with a movement of her hand she threw it into the deepest part of the cave along with her greatsword.
Unlike her enviable colleague Rimuru, she cannot store things inside her body.
She then moved several rocks and branches to block the exit, leaving only a small gap.
After making sure that nothing was on her, she returned to her original form: a small and round blue gelatinous mass, which at first glance seemed very cute.
Although it has only been a day, she feels it has been a long time since she transformed into slime.
Once inside, it's time to claim the system's rewards, and her old gamer soul burns quietly.
Her luck may be considered average but that doesn't stop her from having some small hopes of hitting the jackpot.
She pulled up the familiar virtual interface and tried her luck with the fifty free drawings she had accumulated.
[Transformation unlocked: Aqua]
[Upgrade Crystal x50]
-----------------------
Aqua
Nickname: Goddess of Party Tricks
Description: From the world of Konosuba, she is the goddess of water who guides human souls to the afterlife and is worshiped by the order of Axis.
-----------------------
Noelle is laughing out loud after seeing the lottery results, she never expected to get a goddess on her second try.
In the anime Aqua is a goddess who seems useless, but is extremely reliable in critical moments.
And if she ignores her personality, her starting template is extremely luxurious: divine powers, resurrection magic, purification skills, high-level healing, almost infinite magic power, water manipulation, mastery of arts, etc.
So the only way for such an incredible character to become useless is through system intervention.
And that's just what happened, Noelle excitedly exited the cave to try out her new transformation, only to realize how evil the system is.
Aside from party tricks, mastery arts, and construction skills, everything else was confiscated.
There is nothing, not even a hint of divine power, no Archpriest class, no divine magic, the system has taken everything, turning her into a truly useless goddess.
The beautiful blue-haired woman was kneeling on the ground letting her tears flow as she cursed the system for being so stingy.
She thought the system would only keep the characters' external things, like it did with Noelle's vision, but she was too naive.
Aqua's divine power is something innate, it belongs to her race, even if she is the weakened version that traveled with Kazuma she is still a goddess in essence.
But the system ignored this and only gave her a human version of Aqua, she doesn't know if it's because in this world all the gods have sealed their power or because that's simply how her damn system works.
She doesn't understand the system's criteria, but she knows that the way to unlock all of Aqua's abilities is to complete her main quest.
But with Aqua's personality, she is a little afraid about the content of the missions.
And just as she expected, the content is nothing serious:
-----------------------
The Axis order reaches another world
Phase: 1/3
Description: As the most loved goddess among her believers, you cannot let Aqua's magnificence be lost in this world. Uses her transformation to found the Axis order in this world and gets 3 believers to join.
Reward: Divine Power(Sealed), Method of giving Falna.
Status: Pending.
-----------------------
Noelle is lying on the floor, she doesn't care about anything anymore. She feels that the system is doing it on purpose.
She has just joined the Loki family and found a safe place. Even if it's only been a day she felt that everyone was a good person during the family lunch.
Over time, she believes she can tell Loki the truth and when the Knossos plot begins she can play a role as an intermediary in alliance with the Xenos.
But now the system is practically forcing her to take the route of creating a family. She may refuse but Aqua with all her power is too tempting.
After venting for a while she decided to take things easy. Creating a family from scratch has never been easy.
Her current status is similar to that of Hestia and almost no adventurer is interested in joining a family that cannot give him benefits.
At the moment it is better to grow slowly in the Loki family and when a good opportunity presents itself she can recruit some believers.
Furthermore, the first phase of the mission does not require a family as such.
She can use Aqua's talent in the arts to make a name for herself and gain some fans or use her party tricks and blend in at the adventurers' celebrations.
The Axis Order can be any type of organization, not necessarily a religion. If she uses the right methods maybe she can fool some people.
Countless evil ideas flow through Noelle's mind and over time the prototype of a plan is formed.
If everything goes well, a new Axis Order will soon be born in this world.
