"Which Mermaid Queen? The current one… or the previous one?"
"??" Alepsia turned to me, a bit confused. I observed her face for a few moments before asking again," the current one… or the previous one?"
And looking at me, she then opened her mouth to speak something, but then paused in between. Her eyes seemed to recall something before a question filled expression appeared on her face.
A few seconds of silence, before she finally muttered,
"I… don't know. They only mentioned that the angel was in contact with the queen of mermaids."
My question intrigued her as she kept observing me, waiting for me to speak something. Perhaps she and every other being searching for that angel didn't consider the former queen. Not that I blame them.
"Hmmm. Seems like I understand what I need to do now," I stretched before standing up. Both Queina and Alepsia looked at me with an ambiguous look before I smiled and spoke.
"How about I answer all your questions?"
I was going to [Restart] anyway, so I didn't mind answering their questions before doing so. It won't result in anything, to be honest, but it's not like we are running out of time either. And hey, who knows, we might find something useful out of this small talk, too?
"I… I have something to ask," Alepsia started with her question and I nodded before she posed it. I answered it to the best of my ability and then Queina asked some questions that were troubling her.
And that is how I began to answer the questions of Alepsia and Queina, which ran for quite some time.
While the profit was little in this Qs and As, there was little profit in this too. It wasn't a direct answer, but talking with the two goddesses, I was able to find some peculiarities that I didn't find before.
For example, the connection between the fate weavers. Especially the [Commands] that the Fate Weaver of Time used. I compared it to my [System] and one thing that I found similar was the [Commands!] in my system.
Currently, I could only use [Command: Alter!] but honestly, I still couldn't bend my head around that too.
'Still if I were to make a guess, then this could be potentially my most powerful weapon,' I thought as I decided to give it half of my attention from now on.
Other than that, I found it odd that the Primordial Goddess of Night, Enchantress, was actively roaming around the hell, doing something or another.
'Wasn't she the one who told me that they can't interfere with what we do and what we don't? Hmmm… seems like I need to be more careful than before,' I noted, as it seemed like now I needed to be careful even of the primordials and not just the fate weavers.
Easier said than done, though.
"Status!" I called out.

'I should sort out my System as well,' I thought as I saw the humongous amount of skills in my arsenal.
I collected all those skills so that if I needed to bestow my skills to the players through [Quests!] I wouldn't need to worry about having a lack of skills.
Because I focused on passive and active skills equally, I got a lot of skills that increased my base stats more than what they should be. Increasing them almost 3 times more than average.
'I should be able to take on an average god for now. Angels or sins shouldn't be a problem for the time being,' I thought as I then decided that it would be better to pick a set of skills that I would use this time.
As for the equipment, I don't think I am going to use anything other than those that I used before.
But for that, I need to wait before Hell and Heaven opens up officially. Until then, I will depend upon my skills only.
And with that in my mind, I began to open up the [System!] and choose my [Restart!] point. Though before I could do it…
"Are you going back in time?" Alepsia asked as she looked at me with sadness in her eyes. I could only smile and nod at her.
"Please protect Valencia. And if you need my help in any form, just call me out like you did," she spoke with a firm resolve.
"Trust me, I will," I said. Honestly, not calling her would slow my plans by a huge margin. So there was no way I would not use her this time.
'I guess I will be owing her a bit more than before now, huh?' I realized that I still haven't paid her back for how many times she has helped me now.
Perhaps we can do something about it this time? Hopefully.
"Keep me informed as well. I doubt I can help in that case of Heaven's Wheel or Heaven's Guardian, but if the All-Father is present, I think I can help you out there. He could be someone I know," Quiena added as well, while I nodded at her.
Quiena knowing the All Father God, wasn't a stretch given the circumstances, and there was a chance that I might end up talking with a few higher gods as well. Though I wonder if I would be needing to come back here again.
'While I doubt I would need to be doing that, if the situation demands, I will keep this option open as well. Nothing wrong with having a few extra cards, I guess?' I thought before I finalized on everything else.
And with that being said and done, I moved to the [System] and
