Chapter 1640 Reen Channeling Her Inner Goddess

"Reen. let her know who you are."

Eren said matter of factly after he gave her the basics in the Oni language.

The latter understood what he wanted from her without additional details. She closed her eyes and turned into the form she was vaguely familiar with while spreading out her aura.

In the next moment, Reen's appearance changed drastically. From a normal-looking human, she turned into something monster-like. Her skin turned blue and she grew a pair of long horns from her forehead. Her eyes turned golden orange as if they were two mini suns. Her aura also changed, making her come across as a divine entity.

Bisha's eyes opened wide as she looked at Reen with a look of shock. Soon, that shock was converted into a look of joy and devotion as she felt Reen's presence closely.

"This… this can't be a mistake. She… she is the incarnation of Goddess Echinda," Bisha got on her knees and she looked at Reen with her eyes tinged with pure bliss and faith. "My goddess, I… your humble servant will do anything to please you. Please give me your blessings," she said as she lowered her head in front of Reen in devotion.

Bisha had witnessed the worldwide phenomenon that the goddess Echidna's brief arrival had caused in Anfang. She was shocked to find out that the chief goddess of the monster pantheon, who was considered the supreme power in Anfang by default had come to Anfang, the Land of the Faithless for some reason.

She was sure that nobody from Echidna would have believed her if she was able to send news regarding those events back to her previous contacts on Echidna.

Bisha had seen the series of calamities that had struck Anfang one after the other. Since nobody had clearly told her what had actually transpired, she had just considered goddess Echidna's presence as the reason why the mortals on Anfang were facing such harsh times.

Thus, Bisha was shocked to find out that the goddess' incarnation, who was the reason why Echidna was able to show herself, was also connected to Eren in some way.

Before meeting Reen, Bisha had considered cooperating with Eren on a need-to-know basis. She believed that as long as she kept buying time, someone from Echidna would eventually show up. And therein lies her chances of breaking free of the shackles Eren had placed on her.

However, her priorities had involuntarily changed after taking one look at Reen. She wasn't interested in leaving Anfang anymore. Escaping from Eren's grasp was also not very important in her eyes.

At this point, Bisha's priority was to ensure that she showed her devotion towards the incarnation of the chief monster goddess. She was willing to go to any lengths to please Reen as much as she could. After all, the more she pleased Reen, the more she would earn back in Echidna.

Eren had not told Bisha that this was clearly a case of mistaken identity. Reen was not Goddess Echidna's "incarnation". At least not anymore.

The butcher had made sure to liberate Reen from her past, present, and a set future as the soul fragment of goddess Echidna. Of course, Bisha didn't need to know that. The whole point of him beginning Reen to meet Bisha as soon as the former woke up from her slumber was because he was expecting Bisha to give reactions like these.

'This is better than I thought it'd go,' Eren thought to himself as he tried to suppress his laughter looking at Bisha. He could tell that he had underestimated the goddess Echidna's importance in the monsters' eyes. At least the monsters from Echidna were spiritually active in offering their devotion to their respective monster gods.

'Erni? What… What is the meaning of this? What is this monstress doing?'

Reen looked at the kowtowing Oni woman in front of her strangely. Since she was a separate entity from goddess Echidna at this point, she could no longer feel the latter's faith energy.

'Just act haughty and important. Do as I tell you to do,' Eren informed calmly as he instructed Reen in private. In the next moment, Reen's face turned serious as she greeted Bisha. "Your faith in me is commendable, little one. You may raise your head," she said in a cold and callous voice as she looked at Bisha with an impartial look.

"Thank… Thank you, my goddess."

Bisha expressed her gratitude with words and expressions painted across her face as she slowly raised her head. "If there's anything…"

"Eren is my champion in the Land of the Faithless," Reen spoke to Bisha as if she had complete authority over the latter. One had to say that she was playing her part well in channeling the inner Echidna in her that she didn't have.

"As such, you need to help him in every way you can," Reen spoke as she stepped forward and raised her hand a bit in front of Bisha's face. The latter held her hand with both of hers as if she were touching some precious object. She did not dare to kiss the back of Reen's hand, considering it to be the act of "unrealistically reaching for the stars."

"As you wish, my goddess,"

Bisha nodded at Reen as if she would be killed instantly if she didn't cooperate with her. She then looked at Eren with a newfound perspective as she spoke.

"Sir Eren, this… things would have gone much smoother between us if you had told me your connection with my goddess," she said as she looked at Eren with a bit of a complaining tone leaking through her voice.

"As if you had believed me if I had told you in advance," Eren snorted as he looked at Bisha carefully. He took one more drag of his Sativa Stick as he addressed Bisha.

"The only reason you believe me is because the goddess' incarnation is with me right now. Why do you think I waited for this long to ask you real questions related to your world?" he said as he released a lungful of white smoke through his nostrils.
