There's only so much the lot of you can push back against the crowd though, or rather push back against their collective mindset. Maybe they won't prostrate themselves on the ground before a goddess, but they can't be stopped from at least kneeling before the victorious hero who won the battle. Worship in another form, it isn't much better to you but there doesn't seem much that can be done.
In any case you try to make yourself useful once again, but without directly using your divine influence over people you can't overcome their triumphant behavior. Thankfully though you have your paladin to rely on, who as a noble can try to command and restore a little bit of order to the situation. To get people to give you enough room to be able to reach and tend to the wounded, and to return focus to other pressing matters such as the fires. Though you still retain a crowd and immense attention, the mortals eventually can temper their wild emotions a little better after seeing you and Tyne leading by example.
<span class="mu-b">"You and you, gather any guards you can! And you all, form a bucket line to the docks, any well, all the water we can bring!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Right men, let's find any wounded we can, yeah? Bring 'em back... for her."</span>
Still the cheering and singing and victorious revelry, but no longer impeding you with their enthusiasm. Not to mention an even greater adoration for you, to see through everything that happened and is still going on, your devotion is still to those in need. Among the celebrating crowd and those hugging and kissing you and showering you with gifts, you still are saving the lives of whoever you can, whoever you're able to reach. One after the other.
Little by little it seems, people are coming to recognize you for the apparent god you had claimed to be. That despite everything else, your love still stands in triumph, above all the suffering and joy and despair and celebration. Through the good and the bad, you shine clear and steady as a beacon of hope.
Eventually city officials, clergy and nobles start to show up, to see what all the fuss is about. And eventually the celebrations will subside, Eindward faced with the difficult task of navigating the aftermath of the battle. For now though you have revealed a shocking truth to the people, these mortals, and you have the chance to decide what you will do next while the rest of them have to first process this revelation about you.
>What do you do?
