(MC POV)

Every single god and goddess came… Including the Supreme Gods themselves…

And I realised the reason why they made this stage was to hold a handshake event for me… Which every single god wanted to participate in…

The line for the handshake event ended up stretching for a really long distance where I could not even see the end. But seeing how those gods were all looking at me with starry eyed gazes, it was practically impossible for me to turn them down…

They seemed to have expected such a turn out and limited each god's time in shaking hands with me to only a few seconds.

They also made everyone aware that whatever their positions were as gods will not be taken into consideration in this festival so even the Supreme gods have to queue up like the rest.

Surprisingly, they were all fine with that and none of them made any noises of complaint despite receiving such treatment.

But right now, I'm stuck on stage to shake hands with all the gods that were attending this event.

"All Creator! It is an honooooouuuuurrr!!" The god in front of me cried while shaking my hand. He's also the first one in line apparently.

When I say cried, I really mean that the god was literally crying with tears streaming down his face as he held my hand.

I managed to maintain a smiling visage as I held his hand as well, "Thank you for coming to visit me."

"Waaahhh!! All Creatoooorrr!!" He cried again before promptly collapsing backwards, fainting on the spot.

I didn't even know gods could faint…

Brendan came up to drag him off the stage like he had already expected something like this to happen, allowing the next in line to approach me without any delay.

This time it was a goddess and she was already in tears even before she came up to me.

"OhbytheAllCreator,I'msohonouredIloveyousomuchIcan'tbelieveI'mtouchingyourhandI--"

She didn't even get to finish her words before she had also collapsed on the ground with a blissful smile on her face.

Ok… Could you guys get yourselves together? It's just a handshake…

This repeated again for the next hundred or so gods and my disciples just unceremoniously dragged them off the stage to be dumped in a pile the moment they fell unconscious.Err… I get that you've all ascended to godhood as well but don't you think that's a little bit too much?

Oh whatever, I'm not the organiser of this event anyway.

Besides… The line of people waiting to shake my hand has barely even decreased in size…

I looked up at the next goddess who approached me.

"Go… Good day, All Father! I… I am honoured to be in your presence! I am Lu… Lulu!"

I smiled, "Hello Lulu, thank you for coming."

"No, thank you for letting me come! Father called me naaaaameee~"

Hmm? Her voice sounded a little weird at the end… I wonder why?

At least she somehow managed to stay awake throughout the entire handshake thing with me, being the first one to remain conscious as she turned around to walk off the stage.

That was when a soft 'thump' was heard and I realised she had fainted right at the very edge of the stage.

I guess she tried to put up a front but still ended up collapsing anyway.

Is this something to do with them being exposed to my Origin energy or something?

"Daddy, Daddy!!"

Oh, it's Lilith.I think you should take a look at

"Hello Lilith, it's been a while hasn't it?"

She grasped my hand in hers, "Yes it has! You should have told me that you're coming here! Can I move in with you, Daddy?"

I turned to my disciples who were avoiding eye contact with me on purpose, letting me know that they were leaving the decision to me instead.

"Umm… I guess why not? There's space here after all…"

"Yesss! Thank you Daddy! This is the best!" She cheered while shaking my hand.

I'm really thankful that I had the foresight to set up a silencing barrier beforehand so the others that were still queuing up would not be able to hear what was said here.

I'm willing to bet that if the others knew what Lilith asked, there would be a whole lot of them asking about the same thing too.

The demoness then tapped her chin with a finger, "Oh right~ Do you think some of my sisters could stay here as well? They won't cause any trouble, I promise~"

"Eh? Why would you want more people to stay here?"

"Mmm… I guess I could say that they got into something troublesome and they need somewhere to hide for now. Is that fine, Daddy?"

"Umm… I suppose that's fine too…"

"Yayyy~ Daddy is the best!"

She then skipped away after shaking my hand one more time.

Hopefully those girls are nice too. But if they end up causing trouble for my disciples then I'll have to kick them out.

After that, it pretty much became a blur as I shook hands and greeted each god that came up to me.

Some of them fainted, some of them managed to last until they walked off stage and a select few were completely unaffected.

One of the unaffected ones being the god in front of me right now.

"Hello Father. Thanks for having me. Can I go say hi to Mother now?"

Yeah… These people belong to the Iris faction and don't have that much love for me as the others do.

Unfortunately for them, Iris was less than interested in holding her own handshake event so the only way they could even get close to her was through this.

It's not like I care that much anyway so I simply directed them to the white haired cosmic being standing at the side.

I watched as the god skipped towards Iris with a frantic look on his face.

"Mother! How I have longed to meet you! Ahhh! You are just as perfect… No! Even more perfect than I had imagined! You are truly the--"

He couldn't even finish his words before Iris flicked a finger at him and he was sent off stage as though he was hit by some invisible force across his face.

I really don't even know why they try… But I will admit that it was definitely amusing to watch so I wasn't going to complain.

I guess I should be glad that she wasn't just ending their existences just for talking to her.

I don't know how long I had been doing the handshake for but I have no doubt that it was for at least a few hours by now. The stalls below the stage have started to become more lively since the ones who had finished doing the handshake with me regained consciousness.

But the unfortunate thing for me was that my role seems far from over…

How long more do I need to stay here?

After the most recent unconscious goddess was dragged off stage, I felt the air shift slightly as the next goddess came forward.

"Greetings, All Creator, I am Muenia, Supreme Goddess of Fate."

Oh, one of the big ones is here~
