He was indeed very interested in Hestia; at the very least, she possessed a temperament different from other gods.
This made Viktor feel that the girl in front of him was somewhat mysterious.
After weighing the pros and cons, Viktor gently tapped his finger in the air.
Although he does not currently possess the power of calamity, magic itself is a means of incorporating the elements of the world.
Restoring the room's power was a piece of cake for him; he didn't even need to use magic.
It can be self-sufficient simply by activating the lightning element in the air.
Soon, as Victor withdrew his finger, a bolt of lightning, like a fish swimming, pierced the ground and quickly spread throughout the room.
Electricity was injected into the electrical box, and the indicator lights came on again.
Click—Sizzle—
As the light bulb flickered on and off, the room finally had power back on.
Beep—du—buzz—
Finally, the light bulb overhead lit up steadily.
At the same time, the refrigerator in the corner of the room started running again, and the television returned to its original picture.
The robot vacuum cleaner on the floor moved slowly away from Victor's feet, like a turtle just waking up.
The entire room was restored to its former vitality and technological brilliance.
"Oh, I've got it! I've got it!"
Hestia's eyes lit up when she saw the television turn on again.
She quickly picked up the handle again, turned around, and started operating the TV.
With the slightest movement of her fingers, an image quickly appeared on the television screen.
It was a game that even Victor found familiar.
That's right, he also has memories of this game.
He played it too.
He stood quietly to the side, watching Hestia operate the game on the television, and said with satisfaction:
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to know how to connect electrical appliances. It saved me the trouble of teaching you beforehand."
"Ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly widened, her expression becoming incredibly excited, and the controller in her hand made a clicking sound as she pressed it vigorously.
"Hey, it saved automatically, hahaha!"
"Holy crap, I got a Flash!"
"I must catch it today!"
Victor: "..."
This sudden return to modern society left Viktor speechless for a long time.
He began to organize his thoughts in his mind, formulating the question he had wanted to ask from the very beginning.
"Why do you know about 'players'?"
"Huh? You're asking about that?"
As she spoke, Hestia truly began to ponder, her gaze drifting upwards, staring at the ceiling, remaining motionless for a long time.
After thinking for a long time, she even forgot to continue playing the game she was playing.
A strange silence fell over the room, with only the game's background music echoing in their ears.
Then, she suddenly spoke up:
"Since you also know about 'players,' then you should have retained your memories like me, right?"
Viktor's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately became more focused.
"Ah yes, that's right. I'm different from Zeus and the others because I still retain the memories from before I came here."
The girl pointed to her head with her left hand while continuing to operate the controller with her right, intently watching the television, and said:
"You know what our 'name' represents, right? That's right, it's 'gods'."
"Because of our names, when we came here, we became gods corresponding to our names."
"But Zeus and his people accepted too much of the faith of mankind, which caused their personalities to gradually disappear. In the end, they believed that they were the real 'gods'."
Hestia's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she were lost in memories, and her mood seemed somewhat depressed.
Each person's personality is replaced by the divinity corresponding to their name, giving them powerful divine abilities and making them true gods.
"Only I have retained my memory, and my humanity has not been replaced by divinity."
As Hestia finished speaking, her interest in pressing the handle gradually waned.
"Because Hestia is the goddess of the hearth and home, it is difficult for me to gain the faith of people compared to other gods."
People will wage wars because of competition and choose to worship the god of war.
Fishermen hope to return with a full catch every time they go out to sea, so they choose to worship the sea god.
Young people worship the god of love because of love, while businessmen choose the god of wealth for business success.
Farmers worshipped the goddess of fertility in order to ensure a bountiful harvest and favorable weather...
However, people rarely worship the god of the hearth.
Even among chefs, very few were willing to believe in this goddess.
More chefs and blacksmiths will choose to worship the god of fire and forging, as that will give them a more stable flame.
Because stoves and homes are things that people gradually become accustomed to in their daily lives.
Humans are often blind to the precious things around them.
Instead, they turned to pursue things that were more ethereal and illusory.
And they prayed for this, hoping to receive more.
For this reason, Hestia is, strictly speaking, the god with the most followers.
After all, as long as the family exists, she can provide shelter and gain faith.
The flames of the stove represent the family.
Therefore, despite Hestia having many followers, she rarely received prayers from them.
This makes her a unique individual.
She is the only 'god' who has only believers but retains her humanity and memories because she has no direct faith.
This also explains why Hestia stands out from other gods.
