When the goddess explained the reason for which she had summoned Elio into her realm, he was overjoyed. After all, this was way way better than he had assumed. At first, he was afraid that the goddess was there to punish him for his bold claims that he was the son of Niemoth.
His fear was tripled when the goddess got angry with him and started accusing him of insulting and disrespecting her.
Then she choked him and he could smell death. But no. The goddess had actually been toying with him. She had actually been his protector ever since he transmigrated.
Indeed, it was so lucky of him that she was the one who noticed him first, and that she had concealed his existence from the other gods. One could only imagine what an arrogant god like Niemoth would have done if he had found out that some stupid mortal was going around claiming to be his son.
