Artemis had been fooled to the point that she dared not trust this guy anymore. She looked at the scumbag surrounded by beautiful women with a suspicious expression, and finally snorted coldly and turned away.
"The goddess has a deep misunderstanding about the boss..."
Noru watched the anxious, slender figure walk away quickly, and felt compelled to speak.
The girls in group 513 exchanged glances and nodded repeatedly; in their hearts, Eugene was the only god.
Don't think of me as some kind of saintly and righteous person.
Eugene's mind started conjuring up some wicked ideas again. He narrowed his eyes, recalling the tricks he had used on Ryu before.
What followed was an unspeakable bloodbath.
In the not-too-distant future, even goddesses who are high above will be drawn into it.

346 Mother-in-law, you have to nod your head today!
"Wow, you're really something."
As expected, the moment Ryu saw Eugene appear before her, her expression first showed surprise, then quickly collapsed.
The man she had been longing for brought back another woman, how could she not be angry?
"Don't get me wrong, he and I aren't in that kind of relationship."
Artemis's gaze was so cold it could kill. After being teased by Eugene, she finally saw through his evil nature and could no longer feel any goodwill towards him.
It was also because she abandoned those worldly distractions that her divine side was revealed.
Liu felt that the woman with blue hair looked very familiar. After remembering her, he immediately bowed and apologized with a look of fear.
"It's Lady Artemis! I'm so, so sorry!!"
Her voice was loud, and her sudden change in attitude puzzled Artemis.
After all, the last time Ryu met him was several years ago, when she still had long blonde hair.
Eugene frowned and immediately stepped forward to pull his beloved wife into his arms.
"Why would you worship her?"
Liu immediately struggled and said:
"Hey! She's the Moon Goddess! A close friend of Lady Astrea! How could I—"
Eugene curled his lip: "She's nothing special."
"Huh!?" Ryu was greatly shocked. No matter how strong you are, you can't disregard even a god, can you?!
Finally, Artemis sighed and stepped in: "Alright, you two, I don't care about this kind of thing, no need to be so formal."
Her kind words vanished in an instant, and her gaze toward Eugene turned icy cold again: "You brought me to see Astraea, so hurry up and see her. Don't cause any more trouble."
She absolutely did not want to experience that situation of being surrounded by chaotic, demonic sounds again.
"Remember what you promised me!"
The three walked side by side, with Artemis muttering to herself from a distance.
Before coming, she specifically asked Eugene for a guarantee.
If it weren't for self-preservation, one should never plunder Astraea's divine power.
Having already suffered such humiliation herself, she naturally didn't want her best friend to fall into this guy's clutches as well.
Although Eugene agreed, a promise is just a promise; only the one with power truly has the final say.
Guided by Ryu, they entered the headquarters of the Astrea Familia.
This time, it was beyond Artemis's expectations.
Upon seeing Eugene's arrival, a group of beautiful women rushed forward, their bright smiles radiating charm.
That scenery was enough to mesmerize any man.
Artemis grew increasingly puzzled. What kind of bewitching potion had these girls taken to make them greet this kind of man with such smiles?
Could it be the seductive hypnotic ability he mentioned before, comparable to Freya's?
"It seems you're adapting well to your new life, that's wonderful!"
Eugene happily high-fived the girls. Although it was only their second meeting, Ryu must have mentioned him quite a bit in the past two days.
This is resurrection! A miracle that even God cannot accomplish. Such grace is truly beyond words.
Their conversation revealed this fact in just a few sentences, leaving Artemis completely bewildered.
resurrection?
What resurrection?
These little girls, haven't they always been members of the Astrea Familia?
The last time she went to Orario was seven years ago, on the Seven Days of the Dead. At that time, Astrea was in her prime after being tempered in the fire, with a complete and powerful team and a bright future ahead.
But who could have imagined that two years later, the heroes entrusted with the future by Alfia would be defeated by the malice of the dungeon and the fastest killer, Zagnot?
"Lady Artemis, let Lady Astrea and I explain this to you together."
Seeing the goddess's puzzled expression, Liu considerately led her into a deeper part of the hall.
During this time, perhaps due to a slight possessiveness, she stood very close to Eugene, their hands rubbing together almost imperceptibly, which made the girls behind them chatter and squirm.
Soon, the dignified and noble goddess of justice reappeared, her unforgettable elegant and graceful figure.
The impact of this meeting on her was enormous.
Compared to reuniting with Artemis, a righteous and close friend who shares the same aspirations.
The most difficult thing to say is the complex feeling one has for Eugene.
After being nearly exposed twice, Astrea had already made up her mind not to accept this reckless son-in-law.
But Eugene then presented her with a gift she could neither refuse nor repay.
The faces of those lovely and brave clan children, faces that could not be buried in her memory, faces that had tormented her through countless sleepless nights, suddenly reappeared before her eyes like a dream, full of life.
Kaguya, Layla, Niz—those children who fought for justice and lost their lives—have returned to her embrace in such an incredible, even seemingly surreal, way.
That day, she cried for a long time, and even surrounded by layers of warmth, she couldn't stop the tears.
If she could hold onto this moment by shedding tears, then she, as a goddess, would not mind if her tears turned into a torrent of rain clouds.
Fortunately, the complete resurrection brought about by reincarnation is absolute.
There is no cost, no side effects, no conspiracies or forbidden black magic.
With absolute power, Eugene only needed to expend the energy he had no shortage of to accomplish such a feat.
When this power to reverse cause and effect and time was confirmed, Astraea realized just how incredible the power Eugene possessed was.
God's powers are fixed; most gods do not have the ability to create new life.
They boasted of their unparalleled knowledge and power, yet in the end, they couldn't even make amends for a tragedy.
Perhaps, in this world, separation and death are the norm, and death is the natural order.
But that was just a detached thought from an outsider's perspective.
Who would truly wish to experience a painful and unexpected separation?
"..." We meet again, Mother-in-law.
"Are you alright?"
Whether in front, beside, or behind, Eugene, who was much taller than the girls, was the absolute center of the hall and once again extended his greetings to his dear mother-in-law.
(Li Dehao) When he spoke, Liu nervously pressed close to his arm.
Because of the previous misunderstanding, Miss Elf was still very afraid that Astraea would dislike Eugene's style.
He's not that kind of person!
Even with the facts laid bare before her, Ryu, who wasn't particularly eloquent, still forced herself to explain to her lover.
Astraea also noticed her changes.
Add to that the girls' excessively good first impressions.
What can Astraea, who has been lost and found again, say?
"Phew...okay."
"I am very happy now."
Astraea gave a rare, sincere, radiant, and sweet smile to the man whom the moon goddess considered the embodiment of sin, and nodded gently.
"I have to thank you for all of this."
She wanted to pronounce the word, but felt a little embarrassed.
