Could someone explain the grammar behind these more advanced example uses of the の particle?
I've seen many sentences where の is used in ways that I don't particularly understand. For example, these sentences came up when explaining the anime Konosuba (some anime where a person dies and is revived in some parallel world (異世界)lol):
死んだ人は「どうして優しくしないのか女神に聞きました。」 - The dead person asked "Why are you being so mean?"
ニートは「大丈夫です。あなたは女神なのだから格好いい魔法を使うことができます」と言いました - The NEET said "It's alright. Since your a goddess, you can use cool magic."
