At this moment, how I wish I had misread or misheard.
Ryu has always been her precious, obedient child.
How could my precious child be tricked away by such a scumbag!
"Well, strictly speaking, it wasn't at the same time."
Eugene spoke with a smile, immediately drawing an expectant look from Astraea.
She thought there might be some turning point, like this jerk had changed partners after the breakup, or he might have simply become a monk and attained enlightenment!
The goddess, of course, did not expect that Eugene would push the atmosphere to its climax in an even more destructive way!
"He's a complete scumbag."
"He has plenty of women around him, all of them poor girls who have been bewitched by him, and they are all completely devoted to him."
"He's doing well, spending every single day and every single second with different female ghosts, so busy he can't find the time to spare."
"Logically speaking, this kind of guy shouldn't be liked by anyone."
Eugene said confidently, while giving Ryu, who was completely petrified, a flirtatious wink.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. There's a saying that goes, 'Women don't love men who aren't a little bad.'"
247 Until he ascended that supreme throne
Shock, shock, terror, and fury.
This is Astraea's feeling at this moment, as she holds an absolutely just view of all the rules of the world.
If we are seeking justice, then we should strive for gender equality.
What men can achieve, women can also achieve. And two people who love each other must be together forever!
Because this is "justice"!
Having followed this ironclad rule for millennia, Astraea had no interest in the shameless, lowly gods of the celestial realm. Astraea, who was ultimately the only one left, had a natural aversion to the scumbag men who built harems in the mortal world.
If it weren't for the king and queen of this kingdom, she might not have chosen to support the royal family.
Now, through Eugene and Ryu's words, they learned that the scumbag, who was both far away and right before their eyes, had actually toyed with the feelings of an innocent young girl.
They even extended their clutches to their own beloved children.
The gentle and refined Astraea immediately lost her composure!
"I object to this marriage!"
The mother-in-law's classic lines came to life on the spot, and she stood up abruptly, causing a surge of intense emotion.
That loud voice contained boundless anger!
"Ryu, you absolutely cannot be with this irresponsible man!"
Liu, who was stunned by Eugene's scumbag remarks and felt a little wronged and bitter for a moment, changed her attitude instantly after hearing her goddess's stern tone.
The seriousness of the matter is obvious. Men can be disciplined later, but if he can't get past the goddess, his life will be in trouble!
Ryu likes Eugene, without a doubt.
Even if he has more than one woman, his affection for her will not waver.
As a noble elf, she would despise a philandering scumbag and be angry when he flirted with other girls.
But to actually abandon your beloved because of the goddess's command.
She really can't do it!
This wasn't due to a love-struck mind that ignored the truth; it was because Ryu knew that her feelings for Eugene were equal to his.
Every woman around him is so tolerant of his behavior because of his selfless devotion.
His rescue of Haruhime and Lily, his tolerance of Chloe and Noruva, his doting on Aisha and Lina, and his affection for her...
Ryu's heart raced.
Before her eyes, the memories of her time with Eugene surfaced.
This person has never overprotected himself.
Eugene would never do something like protecting a delicate princess like a hero.
In his heart, Ryu was a sword and staff that he could rely on; she had a resolute character and qualities and was by no means a weak woman who needed protection.
What Eugene has always done is to believe.
I believe she can emerge from the darkness of the past, and I believe she will personally sever her ties with Alexandra.
I believe she can become a true sword of justice, far greater than any vigilante protecting a city or a country.
Eugene understands her, comprehends her, depends on her, and genuinely likes her.
Before he achieves his imperial ambitions, they will be closely connected and rely on each other.
This is enough.
That's enough.
Thoughts surged through her mind, and Liu's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
She cast a helpless yet submissive glance at Eugene, who stood to the side, a smile tinged with mischief and confidence.
Then, he rebelled against the goddess who had once occupied the entire meaning of his life.
"I'm sorry, Lady Astraea."
“I can’t leave him.”
The pupils of the goddess of justice suddenly contracted!
She began to suspect for the second time that there was something wrong with her vision and hearing.
But soon, she realized that the root of all the changes was that Ryu was no longer the Ryu she remembered.
Having overcome that hurdle, the sprite who transformed from a girl into a woman now possesses a unique will in her eyes and brows.
Whether it's about love or about life.
Ryu has already made her own judgment.
She will no longer completely obey God's will, because that may not apply to the path she has chosen.
The destruction of his clan, the betrayal of his friends, and Eugene's exaggerated yet inspiring ambitions—all these successes and setbacks made Ryu realize the truth.
The justice of the gods is not always absolutely correct.
Even the goddess I admire doesn't control or understand everything.
"Ryu... what exactly happened to you?"
Astraea simply couldn't understand her family members whom she considered her own.
In Eugene's words, he was nothing more than a villain with clever deception skills who wantonly manipulated poor girls.
How could someone like this make Ryu so infatuated?
The goddess looked at it repeatedly, confirming it over and over again.
She even hoped that she could see in Ryu's eyes the lack of free will that had been hypnotized, brainwashed, and manipulated.
But it's clear that everything she does comes from the heart.
"I'm so sorry to be so late in getting to you."
"But, as I said, I still cannot stay under your wing for long because of that person."
"Because I have found my own justice."
Ryu mustered her courage and gave Astraea an incredibly bright smile.
"To achieve it, I must go with him."
"I don't know!"
The goddess's changing expressions revealed her bewilderment and incomprehension.
How can someone who cannot even guarantee loyalty possibly have any lofty ideals?
"..." Does someone who can't even make one woman happy have the ability to make many more people happy?
"That's a fallacy! Absolutely impossible!"
As Eugene looked at Astraea's resolute expression, his definition of a god became clearer.
No matter how high their rank, they are ultimately products of the author's pen.
Although some unconventional attributes were added to them, making the gods appear to be incredibly free and unrestrained.
In reality, their very prefixes predetermine that they will forever be trapped within their own framework.
Gods are immortal and indestructible, but they also cannot grow.
They are lives forever stuck in the same place, unable to move forward or backward no matter what.
The god of forging could never find another hobby in his life, and the god of agriculture would never tire of farming.
Loki would never be good, and the goddess of justice, her principles, are inflexible.
Just like it is now.
If Eugene had told her that a wise and virtuous ruler who would be remembered throughout history was not simply a good person.
She certainly couldn't understand such profound truths.
Because a certain deity was made by a certain person, and also became obsessed with a certain person!
A moment of silence fell over the room.
(Mahao Zhao)
Behind them, Cecil and the others had unconsciously clenched their hands because of the heated argument.
They also failed to understand Ryu's beliefs.
Just like the familiars of the past, following the goddess of justice, their vision was only in the direction the goddess pointed.
"Whether you're a bad person or a good person, everyone's path is different."
