Amaterasu was dumbfounded. Omni was telling her straight to her face that she was like everyone else?! That she was not a Kami?! That she had not earned the right?!
"T-that can't be right!" she insisted. "I..." Have earned the right? Have always had it? She didn't think that there was a right to earn here. And if there was, had she not extensively proven that she was suited to her position by her journey through Nippon, delivering humans from the demons that haunted them and eliminating the Lords of Darkness, most prominently Yami the Rage Incarnate who had slain all other Kami on the Ark?
That had all been in Nippon. In a world where she was given the powers to eliminate evil and was expected to do so, she realized. Here, her accomplishments in that land were not worth the air it took to list them up. Of course she was worthy in Nippon, worthier than all others, because she had the powers needed to prove herself. In the Omniverse she was one among many, and what had she accomplished to prove herself? Had she slain a Rage Incarnate, a Nine-Tailed Fox, an Eight-Headed Snake Demon, or even a minor Darklord? Had she sacrificed anything meaningful to help others? Had she remotely proved that she was worthier than the dozens, maybe hundreds of others out there who had reached far greater accomplishments? Omni was completely right.
That realization dealt a blow to her that felt like she had been hit by that creature's energy blast again - the mindless monster of the Hero's Graveyard. Or the attack that had killed her not long after. Like a fragile vase of glass her world shattered and the shards dug into her, causing her physical pain. Yet all she could do was to sink to her knees and cry.
A hand on her back made her realize that she had not just sunk in her mind but in reality as well. The stinging pain came not from glass shards but from her fingernails that she had dug into her skin from hugging herself so hard that her knuckles had turned white. Her vision was blurry and her tongue tasted salt and liquid. Tears. Oki spoke to her, asked her something, but his voice was far away.
With everything she believed in gone, with her goals and ideas shattered, she did not know what there was to go on. But he could answer that question, couldn't he? She did not look at Omni as she spoke, shakily-voiced: "If... if I am not here to achieve the ascension to a Kami... answer me something else, Omni. Why am I here? Why have you brought me to the Omniverse? What purpose does it have? What... what is it that you want me to do?"
