Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 1607: Goddess

Chapter 1607: Goddess

Nathan’s expression turned solemn. He looked at the summoning circle for a while. Although a bit hesitant, there was a goddess he wanted to summon.

“O’ Miracle of the World, Divine Being of Summoning, please use my body as the beacon and grant the beloved being your passage. By my name, Nathan Reckmoon, heed my call and come forth to this world, great being of another world.”

Although there were many options, he thought this goddess would be the best one he could choose.

The materials started to form a massive figure.

It turned into a dragon similar to Nidhogg, but they could see multiple heads.

Xolotl and the others were standing by near them, because Nathan had warned them about the possibility of this divine beast being an evil god, which would then cause massive damage to them.

“!!!” Even Nyx, who might be the strongest goddess among them, actually felt a bit threatened by this divine beast.

A deafening cry echoed from the dragon figure. Nathan took a step forward and said, “I know who you are.”

“Don’t talk as if you know me.” A voice echoed from the figure, but the divine beast refused to reveal itself.

“Of course. I may not know a lot about you, but I know a thing or two.” Nathan took a step forward. He felt a bit scared, but he needed to confront her.

“Shut up, or I will destroy this world.”

Nathan shook his head. “No. I know you are not an evil goddess. You were not originally evil. After reading my memory, I am sure you know what I’m talking about. How about we make a contract? In this world, I may be able to summon your husband.”

“…” The goddess fell silent. She was able to confirm the possibility through the memory, but at the same time, she couldn’t believe it. “You, a human, think you’re able to negotiate with me? Even if you are close to becoming a god yourself, do you think you are at the level where you can negotiate with me?”

Nathan continued, “In that case, let’s bind the promise with the Soul Contract. I’m sure you have understood the power of my Soul Contract.”

“…” The goddess carefully considered the possibility. “What do you want?”

Nathan smiled. The goddess was originally a passive creator god. However, when her husband died, the goddess turned into an evil god that could destroy the world.

Even when she died, her body was split into two and turned into the sky and the earth.

That was why Nathan could say, “I am planning to fight against the singularity. I need your power. If you assist me, I will summon your husband in the future.”

“There is no way you will fulfill that promise. You are going to die.”

“We are not sure about that. However, having you will increase my chances. Although this is something I can’t promise because I don’t know if it will be possible or not, I will try to recreate your body in the future.

“Right now, you are similar to data that has a physical form. However, there is a possibility of a full resurrection. I don’t know whether it is possible or not, but don’t you think this is an opportunity?

“If we succeed, you can live with your husband for a long time. You don’t have to create other gods that end up causing the tragedy one more time. By becoming my familiar, you don’t have any duty to fulfill anymore.”

“…” The goddess fell silent. It was indeed true. With Nathan around, she had no duty as the creation goddess.

Even if the resurrection wasn’t possible, Nathan would definitely summon her husband.

Of course, they needed to survive first.

The goddess considered the offer one more time. “I have two conditions.”

Nathan nodded. “Please tell me about it.”

“First, this is a cooperation. Consider me thinking highly of you that I’m willing to overlook that you are a mortal and treat you as a being equal to a god.”

“I’m grateful. Of course, that also means I won’t be ordering you around. However, please at least help me.”

“I will help you like that dog over there. I won’t follow your order blindly, but if there is a target, I will kill it without mercy.”

Nathan nodded, satisfied. “That sounds good to me. Please tell me your second condition.”

“The second condition. I know what you’re trying to do. There is a chance that it won’t go according to your plan if I insist on you summoning my husband.

“That’s why I want this second promise. In this case it is right for you to summon my husband, summon him even before defeating the singularity. However, if the situation doesn’t support it, I won’t ask you to summon him.”

“Understood.” Nathan raised the Soul Contract. “I am willing to sign this Soul Contract.”

There were a total of three conditions.

First, Nathan would treat the goddess as an equal. Second, in the chance that the situation favored him to summon her husband, Nathan would be required to summon him. Third, if the second condition wasn’t achieved, Nathan was required to summon him after the war against the aliens.

Surprisingly, the goddess said, “No need for the contract. I can see the trust between you and the others. However, know that if you renege your promise, I will do everything I can to turn this world upside-down.”

Nathan smiled. It looked like the goddess had returned to her original personality. “I understand. Thank you for your trust.”

The goddess paused for a moment before asking, “So, you think I’m not an evil god?”

“You are one of the oldest and most powerful beings. You represent the primordial saltwater ocean that existed before creation.

“At the beginning of existence, you existed alongside your husband, who represented freshwater. Together, you gave birth to the first generation of gods.

“Although you embody chaos, the sea, and raw, untamed power, you were originally not evil.

“It was only because of the conflicts when the younger gods became noisy and disruptive. Your husband wanted to destroy them, but he ended up getting killed first.

“It was because of your love that you transformed into a vengeful force of destruction. In this world, your past didn’t exist anymore. As long as there is hope, I believe you can become true to yourself.”

The goddess remained silent for a minute. “Say my name. Human.”

Nathan closed his eyes for a moment before smiling. “Tiamat.”
