He glanced at Liu, whose eyes were shining with anticipation, and finally smiled indulgently.
"I'm entrusting our impetuous Liu to you."
347 That was close! Ryu almost became a lesbian!
Astriya's reaction was exactly what Eugene had expected.
You can say I have bad character, but you can't say I lack ability.
You can say I wasn't faithful to Ryu, but you can't say I couldn't take good care of her.
These fundamental conditions, coupled with Ryu's love for Eugene, naturally led to the formation of this couple.
"Hey! You bastard, you, you actually..."
"Don't make a sound, or we'll be found out~"
Inside the Astrea Familia, in a corner of a luxurious villa, Eugene, with a wicked grin on his face, was sparring with the elf lady he had just captured.
His boundless audacity, far from diminishing in this land of women surrounded by his best friends and goddesses, only intensified like oil on a raging fire, becoming uncontrollable.
Liu's pretty face flushed crimson with shame that seemed to reach the heavens.
The elven warriors, whose defenses had crumbled several times, desperately resisted the demons' attacks while covering their mouths and noses to prevent any sound from escaping.
In Eugene's view, this state was the most wonderful.
Just then, across from the central garden, the girls of the clan noticed the two people huddled together.
They were still stuck in the hazy yet passionate stage of budding romance between men and women, and thought that Eugene was just having a pure and innocent kiss with Ryu.
"Hey! You guys, could you at least restrain yourselves a little?"
The little girl, Layla, rolled her eyes and complained, which made Liu feel even more ashamed, wishing she could disappear into the ground and never see her again.
“You girls are the ones who should be together, what kind of scene is this?”
A gentle voice rang out, and Ryu's five fingers, which were gripping Eugene's wrist, tightened suddenly, unable to restrain himself any longer.
Astraea's appearance completely threw her into disarray.
It was at this point that Eugene chose to let her go.
"Mother-in-law." His smile was calm and flawless.
Liu immediately hid behind the man, afraid of being discovered.
"Hmm, that's a bit impolite for a lady."
Astrea shook her head and chuckled. She was just older, but her mindset was still young. Like Alfia, although she was of a higher generation, she didn't want to be called something like "mother-in-law" or "mother-in-law".
Eugene nodded in agreement, secretly delighted.
After all, with the seniority gone, it would be easier for him to make his move later.
The joyful fragments of daily life flashed by, and after having lunch together, Eugene was called away by Astraea to a quiet room.
There, too, was the radiant Artemis.
The moon goddess's gaze remained unfriendly, but it was merely the cat's disdain and had little deterrent effect.
“Artemis told me that you are preparing to do something quite remarkable, although I have no right to interfere, but…”
Astraea pursed her lips, her gaze towards Eugene hesitant.
Eugene probably thought that Artemis had subtly influenced her best friend, telling her that Eugene was a super dangerous guy.
Perfect timing! If you hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have known how to bring it up.
"You're being too polite. We're all family, so I should just tell you."
"To be honest, I'd like to invite all the goddesses to attend the ceremony I'm planning to hold."
Upon hearing this, Artemis immediately clenched her fingers, her back arched slightly, and she became very nervous.
Here it comes, this is the first step this guy took after gaining divine power!
Eugene raised a finger and began his deceptive tactic once again: "Lady Astraea, the first point I want to emphasize, and the beginning of everything, is about Ryu."
???
Ryū?
The two goddesses looked at each other, wondering how this had gotten involved with that girl again.
Eugene continued earnestly, "The reason is simple. Lady Artemis, do you remember that I once mentioned another goddess to you?"
When the Moon Goddess was mentioned, she raised an eyebrow and instinctively wanted to refuse to respond, but for some reason, that name suddenly popped into her mind.
Freya, a goddess who possesses the power to bewitch deities and symbolizes absolute beauty and unrestrained love!
"You mean Freya?"
“Exactly.” Eugene nodded.
"What business is it with her?"
"She fell in love with Ryu. After Lady Astrea left Orario, she took the initiative to approach Ryu and disguised herself as a mortal girl, successfully winning Ryu's favor."
"!!" This explosive news left the two goddesses speechless.
They had heard about Freya's personality before; she often disregarded rules and laws and was always on the path of searching for a so-called soulmate.
Although all the people or gods she has set her sights on will fall at the feet of the goddess, they will soon be abandoned.
Cupid is always on the path of pursuing love; unchanging emotions can only keep her feeling fresh for a very short time.
For millions of years, Freya has claimed to have tasted all the gods in the heavens, and now that she has come to the mortal realm, she will do the same.
Disguised as an ordinary girl, she approaches Ryu when she is mired in darkness, gaining her favor and dependence.
Anyone else would have room to maneuver in this situation, but Freya is determined to develop the relationship into a romantic one.
If Ryu hadn't been heartbroken and hadn't been so determined, she probably would have already succumbed to becoming a true yuri spirit.
"There is such a thing..."
Astrea frowned. She had no liking for Freya. Freya's casual nature—her fervent pursuit of love followed by her quick abandonment—clashed sharply with the justice she upheld.
"Perhaps because she never really got serious, although she and Ryu became very close friends, they never took it any further."
"But this does not mean that the girl favored by Cupid can be taken away by anyone else."
Eugene covered his forehead, looking quite helpless: "From my perspective, after meeting Ryu in that tavern belonging to the Freya Familia, I naturally began to pursue her."
"Because we shared the same goals and were of one mind, Ryu and I developed a relationship very quickly, which became the direct trigger for everything that followed."
At this point, even though they were facing two spinsters who had never been in love, they understood the reason for the conflict.
jealous.
It's that simple.
Freya wants to try a nurturing relationship with Ryu while enjoying life in the human world.
Little did anyone know that Eugene would appear out of nowhere and steal Freya's backup lover, Ryu, away with astonishing speed. This unreasonable and selfish possessiveness was challenged like never before, and it also ignited the goddess's ridiculous pride.
"Before I even realized it, she allowed her men to attack my family, whom I cherish. If I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"It was from that night that the conflict between Freya and me escalated completely, and the damage we had done to each other reached an irreconcilable point."
Having summarized the matter, Eugene and Eugene locked eyes.
"So, what I want to do is very simple."
"Solve whatever difficulties arise, and overcome any obstacles at all costs."
"Whether it is a hero, a monster, or a god standing in my way, if she wants to take what I cherish from my arms, then I must be prepared to face destruction."
"There are countless gods in the world; one more or one less makes no difference."
"Therefore, I made up my mind, even if it meant defying the world and becoming the greatest sinner of all time."
"At all costs, drive Freya out completely!"
348. Mother-in-law is still the best!
After recounting his conflict with Freya in detail, Eugene revealed a rare stern expression.
In a sense, he did not come to seek Astraea's approval.
He was determined to kill the god; the decision was irreversible.
He usurped the divine power of the God of Hunting, which was enough to flatten the world, and also possessed the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, which was just one step away from maturity.
Eugene today could probably be considered a being who holds two divine positions and surpasses all the gods, right?
Wait, dual divine positions? Why does that sound so familiar?
"This...the way things are going is really a bit outrageous..."
Astraea was still reeling from this brutal and simplistic development. She had fought against countless evils whose goals ranged from destruction to conquest.
But for two people like these to wage a battle that would determine the survival of the lower realm over a woman is really a bit too fantastical.
"I don't want to go against God, but she won't let me go. What can I do?"
"With a knife to my throat, forcing me to separate from the girl I love, I can no longer back down."
In fact, he never thought of backing down, because if he wanted to become the most powerful in this world full of gods, killing gods and seizing power was the only way.
Upon closer examination, the difficulty of reaching the pinnacle in this world is so immense that it inspires despair.
Even the Sage of Six Paths from Naruto, upon arriving here, would only be a great god with the power to create and destroy the world, far from being able to unify the heavens.
Even the final boss, Kaguya-hime, and the Otsutsuki clan, possess immortality, which is a passive attribute of Shen Jun in this game.
But Eugene can; his greed is insatiable, and he can gain power through a brutal, snowballing process.
To possess the power of one god is to be of the same kind; to possess two is to be a powerful being among gods.
But as this number continues to increase, three, four, five...
When the divine power of the great gods falls into the hands of one person, the resulting suppression becomes absolute.
After all, there are countless minor gods in the celestial realm, such as the well-known "100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals".
"Is this why you crave power?"
