Surprisingly, Eugene was completely unaffected by any charm.
Unlike Freya, Ishtar's charm requires direct eye contact for a period of time to activate.
This was shown in close-up in the animation.
With his eyes blindfolded and blessed by the aura of faith, Eugene was not afraid of her divine power at all!
He casually tossed a purification rune towards the suffering Tamuz.
At the same time, he took out Aqua's divine water and flicked out a few drops.
Simply using a runestone may not be effective in breaking a god's curse.
Although Aqua, the goddess of water, is unreliable, she is still a goddess.
Eugene paired up this combination with just a try-it-out mentality.
To his surprise, the results were surprisingly good.
As Tamuz's body stopped convulsing, his confused gaze returned to normal.
After regaining some consciousness, the tormented young man, filled with utter disgust, lay on the ground and vomited violently.
Such behavior is absolutely blasphemous to God.
But by this time, he had completely lost faith in the goddess.
The intensity of that love is matched by the intensity of the resentment now.
"Wow~ I didn't expect it to actually work!"
Using divine power to fight against another divine power, Aqua's power attribute was already biased towards purification. With the help of the rune, she unexpectedly managed to break Ishtar's charm.
Well, as for what will happen if we fail...
At worst, he can just give Tamuz a quick death.
Anyway, the culprit wasn't him, it was Ishtar.
Overconfident, Eugene didn't realize that he had tricked Tamuz.
He turned to the dumbfounded Ishtar and shrugged in a cheeky manner: "I'm so sorry, it seems that your charm, Goddess, is not so irresistible after all."
On one hand, one is completely unaffected; on the other hand, one is freeing oneself from addiction.
These two men have utterly trampled on the divinity that Ishtar was so proud of.
· ·······Requesting flowers···· ·
The so-called divine desires and divine allure are now powerless to control two mere mortals!
What a disgrace this is for a higher being!
"You bitch!!"
Ishtar clenched his teeth, but couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, she was like a lioness whose teeth and claws had been plucked, possessing only the power to roar but no ability to hunt.
Faced with the invaders and traitors right before her eyes, the goddess was utterly helpless.
She hates.
He regretted not pushing Freni harder so she could advance to level 6 sooner.
She regretted not contacting the Kali Familia sooner so they could come to Orario sooner.
She was furious that her investment targets were dragging their feet and hadn't yet produced the weapons she was satisfied with!
.... 0 ...
"My goddess, are you regretting it?"
Eugene could imagine Ishtar's expression without even looking.
"I regret not contacting the Kali clan sooner."
"Still no pressure on the dark faction to force them to hand over the Fallen Immortal Essence clone to you sooner?"
! ! ! !
Ishtar was completely shocked by these two sentences.
How could he know these things?
This is a crucial part of his grand plan, and no one else would easily know about it.
The goddess's gaze sharpened as she turned to Tamuz, who was still prostrate.
Could it be that he revealed it to...?
"What the truth is is not important."
“The important thing is that Tamuz has gathered evidence for me of your dealings with the dark faction.”
"If these things were handed over to the guild, it would probably cause a huge uproar, wouldn't it?"
Sure enough, it's you!
Ishtar's eyes were like those of a venomous snake, fixed on Tamuz, who, stung by this hostility, was too ashamed to look up.
"Your most capable subordinate is gone, and charm will no longer be useful."
"Well then, I'll just tell you directly."
"I did not come here to destroy the Ishtar Familia."
"But it was for one person."
Ishtar calmed down slightly upon hearing this.
Being in a passive position, she sensed Eugene's intention to negotiate.
She had no choice but to accept this condition.
"Who is it?" the goddess asked, barely suppressing her anger.
Eugene chuckled and said, "She will be my future wife."
"She is the one you still imprison, the one you regard as a secret weapon—Sanjou Haruhime." —Yama.
199. Facing reality, Ishtar started to give up.
"My future wife—Sanjo Haruhime."
Eugene's meaning was crystal clear.
I've taken a liking to her.
I'm taking her away today, let's see who dares to stop me!
"Haruhime? His target is Haruhime!?"
Ishtar then realized what was happening.
The other party even knew about Jiali and the Fallen Fairy, so Chunji was naturally no match for them.
But his goal was to rescue Chun-hime, not to seize her power?
"I want her people, and I also want her power. There's no need for you, Goddess, to worry about that."
Eugene seemed to possess mind-reading abilities, able to see through Ishtar's thoughts.
He opened his arms, making a very fair gesture.
"I said, I'm not here to destroy the Ishtar Familia, but normal requests will never be treated fairly."
"Since the goddess is high above and does not listen to the wishes of mortals, then I, a mortal, have no choice but to storm the temple and force you to agree to this deal."
Eugene paused for two seconds.
He then placed his most powerful bargaining chip on the table.
"Regardless of what you think, before everything starts with '403,' let me tell you an undeniable fact."
"That is, no matter how much help and assistance you use, you can't defeat the Freya Familia."
!!!
Ishtar's eyes widened.
This sentence struck her most painful spot.
Why!
I've prepared for so long, how dare you dismiss it with just one sentence!
Do you know how long I've been plotting to drag that arrogant, self-proclaimed more beautiful woman down from me?
A surge of rage burned within him, and Ishtar could no longer contain himself and began to lash out.
"What do you know! My plan—"
"It looks foolproof, but it's actually full of loopholes."
Eugene quickly interrupted her outburst, presenting his arguments one by one.
"First, you're relying too much on the level-up skill."
"Although storing Haruhime's soul in the Sessho-seki allows for mass upgrades."
"But that's just a legend; you've never verified its authenticity or effectiveness."
"At present, Chun Ji can only upgrade one person at most. Upgrading multiple people at the same time will definitely reduce the effect."
"Therefore, relying on a large number of upgraded combat forces to fight Freya is just wishful thinking without any practical experience."
Eugene's first rebuttal was not entirely unfounded.
Haruhime is only level 1; even if you turn her soul into a tool, she is still very weak.
Without strong foundational support, how could it be possible to simultaneously upgrade the levels of dozens of people?
Legends from afar cannot be used as a strict battle plan!
This……
Ishtar was speechless at Eugene's words.
