Liu parted her lips slightly and, before the god she had once revered, spoke Eugene's, and also her own, thoughts and wishes.
"Whether you do good or evil, it all depends on a single thought."
"But before that, you must be in a high position to determine the course of all things in the world."
“That man told me that he hoped to provide a safe haven for the most impoverished women and children in the world, even if it meant collapsing countless skyscrapers.”
"Therefore, I will do everything in my power, even if it means turning into a sword and staff that will eventually crumble."
"On this long journey, I will become his strength and serve as his foundation."
"Until he ascended that supreme throne."
248 The mother-in-law was finally fooled
We will stay with you every step of the way.
Until you ascend that supreme throne.
This scene occurs when Eugene first robs Terry and declares his ambition to climb higher to the girls he depends on.
At that moment, his arrogance and ambition were already fully revealed.
Every girl present could see endless greed and desire in that wicked face.
They knew this all too well.
This man will surely continue to rise, heading towards that uncharted peak.
Until, I look down upon all living beings and take control of the world!
What he displayed was not the demeanor of an emperor, because emperors are in control of everything.
Before that day, Eugene was just an unknown nobody from the bottom of society, but he had the courage to bare his fangs at the most colossal giants, and the cunning to bite and kill giants with his weak body.
From nothing to something, a meteoric rise.
He proved himself not just a delusional incompetent fool, but a true hero.
From then on, every step he took impressed the girls.
Their power, wealth, and violence are all increasing at an astonishing rate.
In just two months, Eugene has gone from a street thug to the powerful underground king of Orario!
They knew that this little bit of hype wouldn't satisfy Eugene's appetite at all.
His future ambitions are many times greater!
Ryu's understanding of this point is the most profound.
On that day, when everyone was expressing their love, only Eugene and she transcended the simple feelings of 437.
At that time, she had already fallen for him.
Because there is only one man in this world who can make such a bold statement and has the mindset and skills to make it a reality!
"I'm sorry, Lady Astraea."
"I'm afraid I'll never fall in love with anyone else except that guy."
"Even if it's just for that vague ideal, I will always stay by his side."
"To be honest, the reason I came back this time is precisely to obtain the power from you that can help him."
Ryu's expression was calm and serene, and her tone was even, but for Astraea, it was the most devastating blow.
As the embodiment of justice, her ideals will not be easily shaken.
Therefore, she simply couldn't understand Ryu's pure and innocent feelings.
Why is it that a man portrayed as so promiscuous possesses an ability that is so convincing and compelling, despite his seemingly incompatible nature?
Even a spirit like Ryu, who single-mindedly pursues light, would willingly stay by his side.
To help him, she traveled thousands of miles to the goddess's throne, pleading with her to renew her abilities so that she could go further and seize the future.
That determination alone was enough to send shockwaves through Astraea's mind.
The identity of a deity is both irreplaceable and a constraint.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Eugene intervened.
She walked over to Ryu, gently put her arm around her shoulder, and smiled at Astraea.
“Goddess, I completely understand your concern for Ryu.”
"As you said, that person must be an incorrigible fellow."
"His ambitious words may ultimately prove to be nothing but a mirage, and he may die in some unknown corner because of his arrogance."
"But before that, no matter the outcome, Ryu needs even greater power, doesn't she?"
Whether she was helping others or protecting herself, she had witnessed too many partings in this world.
"Even now, the phantoms of the past still haunt her."
As Eugene spoke, he gave Ryu a signal.
The fairy's expression changed slightly, and then she spoke, revealing a fact that surprised the goddess even more.
Alexandra is still alive.
Moreover, she is no longer the beautiful and upright "Red Flower".
Instead, she is a madman who would stop at nothing to protect her reborn mother.
This news left Astraea even more disoriented than Ryu being consumed by her scumbag boyfriend.
Although the entire clan are her children, if we're talking about who is the most favored, it has to be the captain, Alisha.
As one of the earliest followers of the goddess, her personality and talents earned her the deep trust of Astrea.
When she learned that her entire clan had been framed and wiped out by a dark faction, with only Ryu surviving, the goddess's heart was broken.
The reason she left Orario at that time, following Ryu's advice, was because she was too heartbroken and unable to pull herself out of it.
Now, upon hearing that Alexie had returned from hell as a cold-blooded demon, the goddess's slightly healed heart has cracked once again.
"How could this be...Alicie, she..."
"No, this can't be true! She was such a cheerful and kind child, how could she become like that?"
As she muttered to herself, the goddess's face instantly turned haggard.
She slumped weakly into the chair, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
“Alicie has been reborn and has also abandoned the past.”
Even when she recalled some of our past connections, she firmly denied them.
"Because she believed that it would only make her feel weak and vulnerable."
“But I don’t think so. I have to let her know that that memory is incredibly important to both of us.”
"To bring her back into the light, I must become stronger!"
"To reconnect this cause and effect, I must defeat her with my own hands and awaken her with my own will!"
"Therefore, I beg you, Lady Astraea!"
Ryu's words were emphasized, displaying extraordinary spirit.
"Please update my stats so I can complete what I must do!"
The unwavering resolve in that voice pierced the very soul, sending a chill down the spines of all the new members, including Cecil.
They had naturally heard about the deeds of their predecessors and held in high esteem those heroes who sacrificed themselves for justice.
However, I never expected that they would turn against each other today.
And surprisingly, it was the most positive and virtuous Alexie who turned to evil!
"...!!"
Looking at Liu's shapely figure and resolute face, the goddess's eyes stirred.
Only then did she see Ryu, whom she knew well.
Yes.
She hasn't changed.
But she saw more and set higher goals.
On the contrary, what he himself had been adhering to may no longer be applicable to Ryū.
"Changes in the lower realm always happen in an instant."
With a long sigh, Astraea spoke the consensus of the celestial gods.
The reason God loves the lower world is because it undergoes unexpected changes every second.
Whether it's people or events, everything is on the road to the unknown, and even God cannot predict it.
"it is good."
With things having come to this point, Astraea lowered her eyes and agreed.
As Eugene said, even if they disagreed, Astraea should fulfill her responsibility to at least give Ryu the power to protect herself.
Her softening attitude made Ryu both happy and sad.
The good news is that I'm finally able to take another step forward.
What saddened him most was that he ultimately parted ways with the goddess.
She understood that their respective views on justice were ultimately incompatible.
Perhaps, from the day Ryu embarked on her bloody revenge alone, the two of them had already gone their separate ways.
"Come forward, Ryu."
Barely suppressing her sadness, the goddess raised her face, which was full of tender maternal love.
"Let me take another good look at you, at everything you've been through all these years."
Great achievements and changes in ability values can all provide some information to the gods.
