Chapter 179: The Sword Maiden's Past
🕑 Added 2026-01-30 20:12:02 +0000 UTCWith two sudden chat group notification sounds, the group members spoke up one after another to welcome them.
[Seitenshi]: Welcome, newcomers!
[Raiden Ei]: Welcome, newcomers!
[Dongfang Huaizhu]: Welcome, you two! This is the Myriad Worlds Chat Group. Everyone here is from a different world. If you have questions, please read the group announcement first or ask in the group!
[Artemis]: Judging by the names, both are female. But why use nicknames instead of names when joining? (Puzzled)
[Yuki]: Although I modified the rules to display real names, newcomers still use nicknames upon joining.
[Athena]: I see. In any case, welcome to you both.
[Marika]: Won't the two newcomers say something?
[Sword Maiden]: Hello, everyone! I was just reading the announcement, so I forgot for a moment. Sorry!
[Saeko Busujima]: No problem. But since you've read the announcement, you probably understand the purpose of this Myriad Worlds Chat Group, right?
[Sword Maiden]: Mhm! I roughly understand!
[Sword Maiden]: It feels somewhat incredible! To think other worlds exist beyond ours, and the chat group brings everyone together... What immense power! Only the Supreme God could accomplish this, I suppose!
Goblin Slayer World.
A girl around 15 years old sat in a tavern, seemingly waiting for someone.
The girl had dazzling, magnificent golden hair and an exceptionally bountiful figure, sitting in a corner.
Her fair, beautiful face, like a goddess's, held a pair of pure, flawless sapphire-blue eyes.
At this moment, she clasped her hands in a prayer gesture, murmuring:
"Thank you, great Supreme God, for bestowing such generous grace upon your servant."
The girl prayed toward the void, expressing gratitude for the deity's grace.
She believed her ability to join this Myriad Worlds Chat Group was a gift from the gods.
However, unbeknownst to her, the moment the chat group bound to the girl, the dice in the Supreme God's hands had long since shattered.
Without the dice, the god lost the authority to control mortal fate and the qualification to cast them!
[Galacta]: Supreme God? You don't think this chat group was created by the god of your world, do you?
The girl, currently praying to the deity, suddenly saw Galacta's message and showed a trace of confusion.
She didn't understand why the other would say that. Was the Supreme God she believed in not qualified enough?
[Sword Maiden]: Isn't that so? The Supreme God is the highest among the gods, even more supreme than the compassionate Earth Mother Goddess!
[Artemis]: Gods are nothing special—every world has them! You should know there are already several gods in the group!
[Dongfang Huaizhu]: That's right. Miss Athena, Sister Ei, and Miss Artemis who just spoke are all gods from their respective worlds. So gods aren't really that remarkable. (Awkward)
[Galacta]: Actually, I'm sort of a god too. (Proud)
[Sword Maiden]: Ah?! This...
Hearing this news, the girl was utterly dumbfounded for a full minute.
She hadn't expected so many gods in the group.
Now she began to wonder: Were gods in other worlds so commonplace, not rare at all?!
If so, how did they compare to the Supreme God she believed in? Such questions surfaced in her heart.
[Saeko Busujima]: Anyway, this chat group couldn't have been created by the Supreme God you believe in. Though we don't know exactly who created it,
[Saeko Busujima]: but whoever can accomplish something like this must be an existence like Yuki.
Seeing Saeko Busujima's message, the girl fell silent.
Just then, several adventurer-dressed individuals approached the girl's table.
Seeing the girl sitting to the side, they greeted her.
"Yo! Lilis, didn't expect you to be so punctual!"
Four adventurers who looked somewhat shabby, clearly rookies just starting out, sat down next to the girl.
Hearing her companions' voices, the girl named Lilis quickly snapped back to attention.
"You guys are here!"
Lilis forced a smile from the corner of her mouth, greeting her four teammates.
As a newcomer who had just joined this adventurer party not long ago, she highly valued these companions.
Although she was a newly ordained priestess, she perfectly compensated for the party's shortcomings.
Thus, her teammates also highly regarded Lilis.
"Yeah, but Lilis, you arrived so early. Makes us latecomers feel a bit embarrassed."
"Captain, you have the nerve to say that! It was you who delayed time, insisting on checking out the new swords from the city's best blacksmith, causing us to miss the meeting time!"
"Uh... sorry, sorry! Won't happen next time!"
Lilis watched this group of rookie adventurers, just like herself, who had recently started out. Seeing the members joke around with each other, she couldn't help but feel a trace of relief.
After the teammates fooled around for a bit, they began discussing the content of their accepted mission.
"Lilis, this mission might be a bit boring. We need to go about twenty kilometers outside the city to a mountain to clear some goblins nesting there."
"So probably, this mission doesn't require all of us to go."
The captain, with a somewhat helpless expression, explained the mission details.
Hearing it was just clearing goblins—creatures ranked weakest among monsters—Lilis found it indeed rather boring.
Goblins were basically creatures even some novice adventurers looked down on.
So even though the Adventurer's Guild posted goblin-related missions, very few people accepted them. Basically, no one would take them.
Because they were too weak. For a party like theirs, it was a task that didn't require everyone; two people could complete it.
This also made Lilis lose interest in the upcoming mission content.
"It's all because you were late, Captain! All the dragon-slaying and giant-killing missions got taken! Only these goblin extermination missions are left!"
"Uh... sorry, sorry, my fault! But this mission has the highest reward, so we're not really losing out! Let me arrange things..."
Being mocked by his team members, the captain couldn't say much and quickly changed the subject.
Meanwhile, Lilis had no intention of listening further. She focused all her attention on the chat group.
[Seitenshi]: By the way, what's the new member's name? Could you change your display name?
[Sword Maiden]: Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lilis. How do I change the name?
[Yuki]: No need. I've already changed it for you!
[Lilis]: Ah! Thank you!
[Lilis]: It really changed! So, Mr. Yuki, are you the group owner? And also the "Yuki" Miss Saeko Busujima mentioned?
[Yuki]: Mhm!
[Lilis]: From Miss Saeko Busujima's description, you seem very powerful, even stronger than the Supreme God in our world! Is that true?
[Akane Nishino]: For specifics, I suggest you check the videos in the group files, Lilis! Those are livestream recordings from back then!
[Dongfang Huaizhu]: Right, right! Just watch "Yuki vs. Thanos" to clearly understand the group owner's strength!
[Lilis]: Okay!
Following their suggestion, Lilis opened the chat group's file section and accessed the recorded file named "Yuki vs. Thanos."
Instantly, her sapphire-blue eyes widened, her pupils contracting. Her mouth slightly agape, she wore an expression of utter disbelief.
