After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 295 - 106: Seizing Primal Maternity and Beauty, The Very Reason to Become a Demon_4
"Not bad at all, Ahtal, not bad at all, hero, not bad at all, genius!" The Tiger King slapped the table, laughing so hard that tears almost came out:
"Exactly, this is what a male should do."
He bared his teeth in wild laughter.
"The greatest female in the world is undoubtedly the Goddess of Life, and you are undoubtedly the most daring thinker and the freest man in the world!"
Apart from the God of Omniscience, whose gender is unclear, the first deity that was conceived in this world, in theory, was the Goddess of Life.
She created all life in the world, which also caused people to unconsciously leave behind a remnant deep in their blood and souls.
What constitutes a beautiful woman, the answer is obvious for those who study theology: the closer to the existence of the Goddess of Life, the more beautiful.
This is also why many life forms that are clearly not human have similar aesthetics for humanoid females—it’s because of the primal impulse buried deep in their blood and souls.
And now Ahtal actually seeks to seize this primal maternity and beauty."
"So, do you believe me now?" Xi Mu wasn’t concerned with the Tiger King’s wild laughter, nor did he care for the scornful or surprised looks from the crowd.
As long as he could convince these fellows that he was on the side of the Church of Death,
"I believe you." Luwei raised her hand to her forehead, staring deeply at Ahtal, her red lips moving slightly, "However... my opinion of you has changed."
"Since you believe, that’s good enough." Xi Mu nodded, then gave another command, "Since we’re on the subject, I may as well issue one more capricious order."
"The Church of Life, the Church of Lies, the Church of Justice, the Church of Wealth and Contract, the Church of the Sun, and the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny are all... not within our scope of conquest unless they come looking for trouble. Otherwise, do not make them our enemies for now."
Having said that, he turned his gaze toward Luwei.
"As for whether other churches should be hostile to them or willing to co-manage a country with them, that’s for you to decide."
"Is there a traitor among the All Gods, or do you intend to sow distrust among them?" Luwei asked. However, Xi Mu did not answer and turned to leave the church.
No one stopped him; they were more or less aware that this hero, famed across the world for returning deities, might be different from what they expected.
At least they had never considered seizing that primal maternity, and even as members of a Cult, they held a different kind of respect for the Goddess of Life deep inside, feeling she was not quite the same as other deities.
Yet Ahtal dared to announce openly that he wanted to take... that primal maternity and beauty.
Arrogant... it’s hard to say, but certainly mad enough.
"I can’t tell if he’s just playing us." Shark Girl Kaschte covered her face, mumbling to herself:
"He doesn’t seem to be very interested in beauty."
"Maybe ordinary beauty doesn’t appeal to him." The Tiger King chuckled, knowing naturally that Ahtal did not have much in-depth interaction with ordinary women.
"Perhaps he just wants to give us a reason to believe." Luwei shook her head, constantly analyzing Ahtal as her personalities switched.
But she still found him enigmatic, lacking one crucial piece of information that prevented her from truly understanding this man.
"Hehe, he’s a trustworthy person." Granny Saisi said with a smile, "The Witch of Death’s trust in him is far higher than our faith. Naturally, there is a... hidden story."
"Can you tell?" Luwei asked.
Granny Saisi shook her head; she didn’t want to reveal any secrets about Ahtal, as it would implicate many other secrets.
"Is that so." Luwei sighed, not pressing further, focusing instead on how to attack the human kingdoms.
For the time being, she wouldn’t inquire further into the secrets.
"Call me when there’s work to be done." Alistair suddenly spoke up and began walking towards the hall’s exit on his own, "I have other matters to deal with."
"I’m starting to regret taking on the role of planner." Luwei revealed a hint of trouble. The high-ranking members of the Church of Death had difficult personalities... they were a bunch of lawless individuals, tough to manage even with her power and standing, even with her backing from Ahtal and the Witch of Death.
Unless she could subdue them with sheer strength.
...
...
Leaving the hall.
Xi Mu left the Puppet Kingdom, walking through the heavy gate, accompanied by the Black Dragon Fafnir, the two of them following the passageway toward the outside world.
Fafnir, looking ahead at Ahtal walking in front, suddenly felt... a sense of unfamiliarity, even harboring the illusion that the one truly deciding on the Church of Death’s assault on humanity and starting the struggle for world dominance was not the Witch of Death.
But the man in front of him.
That composed and unwavering demeanor in the face of many high-ranking members of the Church of Death seemed too natural, as if he were an innate high-level manager.
And just then.
Their path was blocked. Once called the most talented mage, Alistair stood in their way, his fingers still flipping tarot cards, his cold gaze meeting Ahtal’s.
"Fafnir, wait for me outside." Xi Mu ordered calmly, causing Fafnir to hesitate, but the dragon complied and started walking outward on its own.
In terms of Magic Power, he was actually stronger than Ahtal the human and had lived through more years, but still instinctively obeyed Ahtal’s command.
