Another great chapter with some nice plot developments.
I appreciate you adding and orcess to the story. It was fitting to have her lead a war band of goblins, what with might makes right with those creatures. I do hope we can see more of her at full size and getting in on the action with Vann. Perhaps after she has been reformed like another user said.
I also read your other story "A Diplomatic Mission" per your recommendation and that was a great story as well. It had a nice light hearted tone similar to this one.
Interesting development with the artifacts of Zevonia being taken from her temple. Maybe this Mistress villain was a former servant of Zevonia. I do wonder how the whip and boot artifacts will factor into the fun time with Eletha and Trya lol.
I also really liked the sweaty feet scene towards the end with Vann and Trya, hope we we see more.
Keep up the good work, I always look forward to reading more.

Most of my stories have an upbeat tone or happy ending, glad you liked Diplomatic Mission, I guess if you liked that one Conquest of Earth is a sci-fi equivalent of sorts, harem giantess fun without a lot of high stakes. I don't think it's a huge spoiler to say The Mistress has a connection to Zenovia.

I quite enjoy the goddess's idle musings on Vann meeting his end at the hands of some particularly cruel woman. Like in an earlier chapter when she mentioned the kind of divine intervention he WOULDN'T be receiving and here when she noted how much she might enjoy the orc lady having her way with Vann.
Can't wait for the next ritual!
Author's Response:
Zenovia is more protective of Vann than she'd like to admit, still if that orc hadn't stolen those holy artifacts Vann might have had a very different experience there.

Oh yeah that elf king must be dam good at his job.
Yeah, Zenovia probably didn’t do much during that period compared to other deities, and yeah that must have been weird, but also might mean there are gods not a part of Creation, and things that stayed outside of Creation. Or what some of the gods discovered and built during that time.
Oh and it wasn’t a complaint about the boots, just an interesting choice. Could work out either way.
And theres a version that allows flight, wall/surface climbing (make any wall or ceiling the floor for the wearer), water walking, stealth enhancement, ones made of metal (for full plate) to crystal(especially magical), prison for tinies, visual customization, and maybe minor Enlargement if paired with other stuff. Or besides a Zenovia-magic-use boost/bonus/modifier. Or they have/can be unlocked or added in its own quest, it’ll have to be seen.
It’s all up to you as always and I trust you will do a fine job wordsmithing it.

Was kind of hoping to see more of Razita at full size but I guess that'll come when she's reformed. I enjoyed the ominous foreshadowing of whats to come. I'm assuming the mistress is a former follower of zenovia but we'll see.
Ironically I love the newfound conflict between Chadwick and Eletha since she deserves some push back for her previous behavior/statements. Insinuating that your friend is interchangeable because he's not immortal is hilariously insensitive. Maybe its a coping mechanism for Eletha since she's gonna be forced to watch all her friends die but shes pretty incensitive when describing other races and their more normal lifespans so It's just hopeful thinking. Immortality always seems like a curse. Was kind of hoping Runala turned towards Eletha and said "Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul" but I guess there's always next chapter lol.
Can't wait for next chapter! Especially since we haven't really seen Tyra's new whip in action and that last scene left me wanting more Vann and Tyra scenes.
Author's Response: You might say a lot of Eletha's actions regarding Chadwick and his family, and other families she does this with, are a coping mechanism, like she definitely does love and care for them all but she's got a very warped perspective on things. To Eletha immortality is definitely something like a curse, she's too far gone to ever be happy in the Elven lands again, she's even made peace with the idea that she's probably going to die someday, which is a huge leap for an elf. Still she's unaging and an elf, so that impacts her decisions and hence the drama here where she's struggling with the idea that maybe her mortal friends might not find this whole thing acceptable.

Huh, yeah there would be some elven ruler from the very beginning, must have been an interesting time when they were cave people, or living in thatch or mud huts. And just how good he is at king stuff, had to have gotten economic and diplomacy mathematics down to instinct by now at least.
And Creation being after Time, so some weird things must be from that period, not to walk of before Time. Or Space.
And two artifacts of Zenovia’s, a whip and heels. How curious you don’t even name a hight or what exact kind of heel, thought that might be variable, wether at the wearers command (a not immediately obviously setting) of Zenovia’s and what she thinks best fits the wearer. Like the speculation a few reviews ago, theres probably some instruction on how to make similar heels in the book. Now just to think what other artifacts do. And All the JEWELLERY.
And while in that section, though, there probably also taboos, and maybe needing shrunken for it to get the detail right.
Another good chapter!
P.S. heres "The truth about chainmail bikini" and you can look for inspiration on more of Zenovia’s artifacts, and the other female armour subs. Enjoy!
Author's Response:
To go into the elf thing it's a sort of Tolkien thing where even among an immortal people there are only a handful of them still alive from the very beginning, I imagine the Elf king mentioned by Eletha is incredibly wise and like you said has probably mastered politics, economics, etc, and it's thanks to him that the elves are still around and prosperous despite being haughty jerks to the rest of the world.
There are a few religions that detail what divine beings are up to prior to the creation of the world, and it's always trippy and weird, Zenovia probably wasn't the goddess of anything at that point and if it's not obvious she's not as serious as most gods probably are.
I'll try to give some more description of the boots next chapter.
