"We've arrived, the main plane... cough cough, the air here."
As the young goddess spoke, she looked at the World Tree not far away and said, "The amount of mana is too low... and the power of sunlight has become too weak... what exactly happened?"
She asked this without expecting any answers from anyone. She simply flew high into the air, frowning as she said, "The continental plates have also shifted... Is this the Silver Moon Tree Garden?"
"So, has Ymir in the far north separated from this region and become an island in a sense?"
Ernie paused for a moment after hearing the young goddess's words, then explained, "Ymir's lineage was wiped out not long after the Age of Gods ended... It was caused by the war between the dwarves and the Ymir clan, known as the Hundred Years' War."
This is information that Ira and Ernie obtained together while investigating the extreme cold disaster.
"..."
The young goddess seemed somewhat taken aback. She immediately looked north, frowned, and said, "In that case, the calamity we sealed in the far north will soon break free... Hmm? I can't feel it anymore."
Hearing her words, everyone looked in Yinla's direction.
This action surprised the young goddess even more. She stared at Yinla with wide eyes and said incredulously, "You completely resolved the calamity? In that case... it explains why you, who have no power, are so respected."
Powerless?
At this point, everyone realized that even gods make the same mistakes that everyone makes when they see Yinla, but this only makes the god in front of them seem even more... indifferent.
Even many people can't help but look down on a mortal, and at least they won't easily think that this "powerless" mortal will be an important member of the team.
But in the values of the gods, the strength of power is probably not that important... Perhaps this is because, in the eyes of the gods, no matter how strong others are, they will never be as strong as themselves.
Of course, there might be a reason that isn't so arrogant, but that's not important.
"Actually, I have a power that you can't sense... Well, I personally think I'm quite strong."
As Yinla spoke, she briefly mentioned the power she possessed, and then began to explain the current situation: "Now, most of the calamities have been resolved, leaving only the calamities of the Celestial Realm and... what are you looking for?"
Regarding Yinla's question, the young goddess, who knew that there were only a few calamities left, nodded. After looking around, she had found what she was looking for and said, "I am looking for the Empire, but it has taken me by surprise."
To be honest, the young goddess thought that without her protection, the empire's current situation could not possibly be good, and its original territory might even shrink... Both its land area and national strength would become extremely weak.
After all, if even the most capable member of the Empire, Yinla, is so weak, the other members of the Empire are probably pretty much finished as well.
However, after taking a closer look from afar, she realized that the empire was now far more powerful than she had imagined, and even its borders were much more distant than they had been back then.
In other words, the empire did a very good job of conquering and expanding its territory.
Then, the young goddess who had been looking towards the Empire turned back to Inra... Having looked at Inra countless times before, she said, "Because of your efforts?"
As the young goddess spoke, she sensed the respect for Yinra revealed in the countless words of mortals exchanging conversations... and this respect was not limited to the Empire.
Even in lands outside the empire, people marvel at Illa's greatness.
It seems that the offspring of Iluvita, and the woman who touched the primordial spell in human form, were not wrong in their assessment of Ira.
He truly is an uncrowned king.
"Perhaps... How did you know? Just by looking?"
As Yinla asked, watching the god nod and fly towards the empire, he gestured to the others before heading towards the empire himself. He said, "In that case, are there many people praising me now?"
The young goddess nodded once again in response.
The goddess can see the farmers working in the wheat fields using fertilizer, marveling at the efforts Yinla has made for the crops; the constructs and mages developing wands also mention Yinla.
Regardless of the country or race, across the half of the main plane that the young goddess can currently see, on average, one in every ten thousand people is discussing Yinla... and their words are full of praise.
To be honest, this sentiment from all over the world doesn't really seem to be about treating Inra as a "king" or anything like that.
"They are not afraid of disasters, nor are they afraid of death. I cannot call their [worry] and [feeling] fear... The peace that appears in them seems abnormal to me."
The young goddess spoke these words, using a metaphor, saying, "They always mention that 'in Lady Yinla's soul, there is a world far more beautiful than the one we have now,' and I don't know if you were the one who orchestrated this..."
"But some kids these days are like irrational fanatics. While you weren't lying, and it's true that this isn't bad, the key point is..."
The young goddess looked somewhat conflicted. She stopped in mid-air and said, "In that case, how exactly should I intervene in your [divine rule]? I feel... it's a bit difficult for me."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became somewhat complicated. In fact, even they had some idea that everything Yinla had been doing all along... although he himself hadn't meant it that way.
But he is indeed moving closer to the status of a god.
He has all the grand promises a religious sect should make, such as "a heaven where you will go after death and there are many good things", or "a male idol who takes responsibility for the world".
Ironically and absurdly, it was only with Illa that these "cakes" were real.

"So, I'm not quite sure what you actually need..."
Yinla said helplessly, looking at the goddess girl hovering in the air, and asked, "Do you want to be worshipped? Or have a specific faith? Have countless temples built for you? Or something else?"
If she knew more specific details, then Ira would try to please the girl in front of her... If the calamity could be resolved in a more amicable way, that would be even better.
"..."
But a more specific answer, even if...
"I don't know either."
She herself... couldn't give an answer either.
