A being was rampaging while constantly discharging black mud-like substance from all over her body. She was shaped like a woman.
No, it might be more precise to say that we humans were the ones who were shaped based on her figure instead.
Even if, most of her whole body, including her head, was festered and no longer functioning except her mouth.
“W-what’s this…!? Is this really the god of life who purifies the earth’s filth…!?”
“Honestly speaking, this is beyond my expectation… To think she has transformed into a being that produces filth like this…”
Naturally, Arca and Magmell couldn’t hide their shock, either.
I was sure without a doubt that this wasn’t her original form.
I mean, she was the goddess of purification and life.
She must have been a very beautiful goddess.
But most likely, the filth in the earth had accumulated too much for her to purify.
Due to that, Mother Earth-sama, who was supposed to give birth to new life from the filth that she had purified, had come to give birth new life from the filth itself.
Her purification couldn’t keep up with the rate the filth was accumulating, and she ended up being swallowed by it.
“Please look over there! Monsters are being born from the mud one after another!”
“Kh, if we don’t do something about Mother Earth-sama soon, the world will eventually be flooded with monsters!”
“I know! So, you two please stop the monsters from going out as best as you can! Of course, if you think it’s getting dangerous, immediately withdraw! About Mother Earth-sama—I’ll figure something out!”
“I understand!” “Got it!”
After seeing the two nodded, I dropped them down on a nearby rock wall and headed for Mother Earth-sama by myself.

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Heavy slash! I slashed at her jaw with a greatsword from below.
It was hard and the blade couldn’t cut into it, but it was enough.
