After Failing to Awaken My Powers, I Dumped the God of Light [Western Fantasy]

*

Yvienne transmigrated into the body of Yviette, a cannon-fodder supporting character, on the eve of her suicide.

The original Yviette, the city's guardian goddess, failed to awaken a powerful guardian spirit that could protect the city as everyone had expected. When the citizens turned on her and blamed her, she felt so ashamed that she chose to throw herself into the river.

Yvienne looks at the rushing, terrifying river and sniffs. Was the original's brain not working right? She was going to die over something so trivial?

She picks up the goddess's staff and walks back to the original's luxurious home in her high heels.

Goodbye! This young lady is done being a guardian goddess!

I'm off to enjoy myself. The saintess, that beautiful and kind heroine, can handle the original story's plot from here!

*

The God of Light is awakened by an extraordinarily powerful force in the human world. He senses that if the country loses this force, the consequences will be severe.

Though every clue points to the blue-eyed, blond-haired saintess in the royal city, the God of Light narrows his silver eyes, sensing something is wrong.

He conjures a phantom named Mitchell to act as his avatar and go to the human world.

The phantom searches the goddess temples in city after city, but can't find the source of the power.

Until...

Mitchell stops at a table in an upscale restaurant.

The God of Light's brow twitches when he sees Yvienne with a princess on one arm and a commoner school beauty on the other.

He reaches out to her and says, "Come back with me. The Light needs your protection."

Yvienne looks up, her eyes revealing seven parts disdain and three parts confusion. "Who are you? I'm not going."

God of Light: "...I'm your Heavenly Father, Yviette."

"I'm your daddy, too." Yvienne flicks her nails, pays the bill, and leaves in one smooth motion.

Whoever wants to protect these ungrateful ingrates can do it. She wants no part of it.

God of Light: ...Fine. You've got quite a personality.

Everyone thinks Yviette failed to live up to expectations and never awakened a guardian spirit. She's nothing but an aristocratic young lady with beauty and money but no power.

She's a stepping stone for the saintess, and a villainous presence meant to make the saintess seem pure and kind.

But only the supreme deity knows that the spirit Yvienne awakened is so vast that ordinary people can't glimpse even a fraction of it.

And only the deity knows what delicate petals lie beneath the thorny shell she wears.

The deity's love passes through the worldly prejudices of the ignorant and strikes up a hymn called protection.
