"Looks like this is going to have to wait," I said, pulling back from Tallia, but she stopped me, turning around to face me.

"I am going home then, but I need you to come after you are done. I am not going to keep putting up with that bully," Tallia told me, and I nodded, letting my arms fall to my sides.

"Sure, I will call for you when I am done," I said, and Tallia nodded but then leaned her forehead into my chest.

This time, I tried to put my arms around her, but she ducked out of them, gestured for a portal, hopped through, and left me standing alone. The damn woman was nothing but a tease, but I would take this over how we were before any day of the week.

I squatted down and reached to my side, but I had left my pouch in Eliza's room with my weapons in them. I growled and bit my finger, but my sharp teeth quickly drew blood, making me smile ferally. This was like learning my body all over again, but I liked this form.

I slapped my hand on the dirt, and a transmutation circle formed around it, the blood soaking in. The ground around me started to lift, and I raised my other hand into the air, pulling in magic.

As I rose, the girls all crowded around the edge, pressing against the invisible barrier that was still erect. They all had big eyes and exciting looks, but none of them were quite like Nya and Eliza's. Those two looked like they were about to throw a fit.

There was no point in hiding who I was anymore. Nemoria was sending people after people important to me and me, so I had to give it my all. Part of that was being my all.

Galio, the reincarnated and all-knowing, had a nice ring, but my proper title carried weight with it. The Zodiacs were known Gods in this world and were in higher places that were unreachable to them.

Once I had filled in the hole Claire had made, I brought my other hand down, brimming with Growth Magic. The moment it touched the ground, green started to spread up from me until the entire area was covered in three inches of grass.

Suddenly, clapping started, and I looked up at all the women putting their hands together for me. I stood up, dismissed the barrier, and bowed to them all.

Then I was rushed.

A wave of women hit me like a tidal force, and I was tackled to the ground and swarmed. Hands grabbed me from every direction, and I felt at least eight faces pressed into my fluffy white tail; most of the rest were molesting my ears.

This was all fine and dandy, but Lady Katarina came first. I needed to know what had happened to her and if she had anything to do with her.

"Girls, get off me," I said, but no one listened to me.

I gathered in magic, and all the girls started to lift off me as I used Gravity Magic to get them all off. The girls were flailing and screaming, but I put them all down on their feet, still holding them.

"I am going to deal with Katarina. We will pick this back up tomorrow morning, and I will be up much earlier this time," I said, but Nya broke my spell and ran over to latch on to my arm.

"I am coming with you! Tallia said you need to get to know me better, right? Plus, you and I need to talk, Darling, nya~!" Nya said.

I was about to tell her no, but she seemed to read my mind, and her eyes went big and extremely cute.

No.

This was too much cute!

How can one person exude so much cuteness?! I clutched my chest as my heart throbbed in my chest, unable to look away from the cuteness.

"Don't even try to deny me this, nya~! I have cuteness on my side, and you have never been able to resist it, nya~!" Nya said with a sexy knowing look.

Never been? That meant that she knew more than just who I was.

"Sure, not like I can resist you. Damn, you're next-level cute. It hurts to look away from Virgo, but your cuteness makes my heart try to crack my ribs!" I chuckled, but it wasn't far from the truth.

The feeling was nothing like Tallia's, but I couldn't deny that there was an attraction that was more than just her sexy body. Now I was curious just where this woman was from.

"Virgo is on another level compared to me. All I can do is distract you temporarily, but she can take your heart and shape it into anything she would like," Nya said with a more serious look and then looked over to the other girls that were still frozen. "You might want to let the others go, or they will be stuck like that all day long."

I smiled and released the spell. The cat Goddess had distracted me, alright.

"Galio! You look so cute now!" Eliza said as she ran over to hug me with Chili.

"I didn't know you were a Cat Folk like us!" Chili said excitedly as Nya stepped back to let the girls hug me.

"Galio is not like us; we are like him. We are made in his image. He is my god that has been missing from the stars since I opened my eyes on this world. I think our time of being under the thumb of Giantessa is about to end. I have dreamed of a day that all my children would come back home, and now it feels more like an eventuality. You will help save our people, won't you, my god, Ophiuchus?" Nya asked after the girls let go of me, and I nodded.

"I have to take care of things in descending order, so it will be a while before I am at your island. In the meantime, I will teach you and the others how to defend yourselves better. I am not tied to any one island, so it shouldn't cause much trouble. I will also be dealing with Giantessa before I get to your island," I explained, and Nya nodded with a smile and then retook my arm.

"That is more than I could ask for! Now let's go see who is locked up, nya~!"
