A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

Lynn seized the opportunity and added a crucial step to the plan.

"Therefore, before carrying out the plan, we must first communicate with the other cooperating clans and win over all the forces we can."

Alexie was already impatient. She stood up from her seat, and all the pain in her body seemed to disappear.

"I will notify all the families tomorrow to hold an emergency meeting."

"If all goes well, it can be held the day after tomorrow!"

She turned her head and looked intently at Lynn; "Lynn, you'll come with me then."

"it is good!"

Lynn nodded without hesitation.

Alexie suddenly changed the subject and asked, "But speaking of which, Lynn, how do you know so much? You even know the identity of the Dark Faction God under his alias and his peculiar fetishes."

This question was also the biggest question in the minds of everyone present.

Kaguya, Lyra, Niz, and even the goddess Astraea all turned their gazes to Lynn, awaiting his explanation.

Lynn's expression remained unchanged; he had prepared his answer beforehand and replied calmly.

“During my travels, I was fortunate enough to meet a deity, an old man with a long beard. I treated him to a drink, and then he pulled me aside and said that I had the potential to become a hero, and told me a lot of stories.”

He shrugged, a helpless, bitter smile on his face;

"At first, I just thought he was a boastful drunkard who was just telling stories, and I would just listen to him and forget about it."

"It wasn't until... until you actually met Alphia a few days ago that I suddenly remembered what he had said back then."

“Of course,” Lynn’s tone became serious; “I can’t say that this information is 100% accurate.”

"But now that Alphia has appeared and has indeed sided with the Dark Faction, it means that the old man's words have at least a lot of reference value. Next, we need to verify them step by step."

This explanation is a mix of truth and falsehood, combining the real and the unreal.

They attributed the source of the information to a non-existent "old man deity".

This both explains why he knew the plot and leaves room for the possibility that "the information might be inaccurate."

This avoids the embarrassment of being unable to explain future deviations.

After hearing this, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.

"So that's how it is!" Leila exclaimed in realization. "There are indeed many secrets among the gods that we don't know about."

"To know so many secrets, that god must be extraordinary," Niz analyzed, stroking her chin.

Alexie nodded; that explanation made sense.

Because of their trust in Lynn, they would try to make amends even if things were unreasonable.

In short, trust Lynn.

Lynn secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he could feel that the goddess Astraea's meaningful gaze remained fixed on him.

He knew that these words might fool Alexie and the others, but it would be extremely difficult to fool a god.

Gods have the ability to see through lies.

This ability is not magic, but rather more like an experience and instinct derived from a long period of time.

They can detect in an instant the unnatural, subtle changes in a person's body, eyes, and tone of voice when they lie, like a sophisticated human lie detector.

But Lynn was prepared for this.

In his past life, he had watched too many short psychology videos online about "how to lie under pressure without being caught".

The most crucial point is that when you tell a carefully crafted lie, the best approach isn't to "perform," but to "believe" it.

Believe that everything you say is true.

I believe I really did meet an old man.

Therefore, he maintained a calm demeanor throughout, recounting the facts.

Do not avoid eye contact, do not make unnecessary small movements, speak in a calm tone, and be natural in your emotions.

He didn't react at all, because a person who hadn't lied shouldn't have any unnecessary reactions.

He continued to refine the details of the plan with complete concentration, seemingly oblivious to the goddess's scrutiny.

at this time,

The goddess Astraea spoke, her gentle voice slowly echoing through the hall;

“Lynn, the old god you met, if I’m not mistaken, is very likely… the great god Odin.”

"what?"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Odin? The Norse god who, in mythology, is on par with Zeus and Hera?

The goddess Astraea said with a smile;

"When Odin travels in the mortal realm, he likes to disguise himself as a disheveled old man."

"Moreover, he has never gotten along well with those two guys, Zeus and Hera."

"To know the secrets of their clan and to be willing to tell them to a promising young man is very much in line with Odin's style."

Since Goddess Astraea has said so, then there must be no problem.

"So it was Odin!" Alexie slapped her thigh. "Then there's absolutely no problem! The information about that god is absolutely reliable!"

“Yes, yes! That makes all of this right!” Lyra nodded repeatedly.

Lynn was overjoyed, but on the surface he showed a blank expression as if to say, "Oh, I see. I didn't know that either."

Goddess Astraea, what a divine assist!

She perfectly covered up his lie by using a more convincing fact.

Now, all the information he obtained from spoilers has an indestructible source—Odin.

Now, if he reveals any earth-shattering secrets in the future, everyone will just assume that Odin told him about 4.0.

The goddess Astraea smiled even more as she looked at Lynn's feigned confusion.

"What about Lynn and Kaguya's wedding?"

Niz suddenly spoke up. She had been out patrolling all night when the wedding was announced and hadn't seen any of the gossip or excitement.

However, she was still extremely looking forward to the wedding six days later.

They also need to bring their relatives from the werewolf tribe to participate, just to increase the number of participants.

The goddess Astraea spoke directly: "The wedding should certainly continue, though it can be simplified, but it should still be lively. If there is a time conflict, the wedding can be brought forward."

"This is an important 'festival' for our Astria clan, children."

Goddess Astraea looked at everyone with gentle eyes.

"By the way, have someone send the mouthparts that Kaguya and Lynn brought back to the Hephaestus Familia immediately."

For some reason, Lynn sensed that the goddess was both worried and hopeful.

It's like a wife sending her husband off to the battlefield, hoping for his safe return and also hoping he will achieve great things.

Even the greatest generals cannot escape death on the battlefield!

Perhaps the goddess Astraea wanted everyone to have a happy and lively gathering before the great battle.

The framework of the plan has been finalized; more detailed instructions will have to wait for Ryu and the others to return.

They even had to consult with Ganesha and other members of their clan before making a final decision.

Lynn and Kaguya haven't changed their clothes since they came back.

He also carried the sticky smell of the underground bat Badbart.

Maru looked at the two of them and kindly reminded them, "You two should go take a shower now, otherwise Lynn won't have a chance to shower when Liu and the others come back one after another."

Upon hearing this, Leila immediately chimed in, "That's right, taking a bath with so many people is really annoying, especially Niz. Every time she takes a bath, she splashes around like a big dog falling into a river, making a mess of the water!"

"You pink-haired brat, I'm still right here! How dare you talk bad about me to my face?"

Niz glared at Lyra with a dark expression.

Leila retorted without backing down, hands on her hips; "Oh my, you're still here! What a surprise!"

"Hey, I'm talking about you!"

"The other day when we were taking a bath, you pushed me into the tub three times, a full three times!"

Niz laughed at Lyra's adorable, huffy expression, and shook her head triumphantly. "Then you better not shower with me in the future, or I'll punish you every time I see you."

"Unity is essential!"

Alexie rubbed her temples, looking helpless.

Layla turned her head and snorted at Niz; "As long as we're in the bathroom, I, Layla, will never let you get away with this!"

"Awoo!"

Niz let out a smug howl, "I'm going to shower with you anyway."

"You!" Lyra was even angrier and walked straight up to Niz.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Maru quickly stepped forward and separated them, one for each of them.

"Alright, alright, you two wounded, stop causing trouble with 04 and just stay put."

Lynn and Kaguya exchanged a glance.

The Astrea Familia's residence only had one very large bath, since it used to be full of girls.

And now there is Lynn, the only male among them.

Kaguya glanced at Lynn and spoke first, "You go wash first, I'll wait until you're done."

"You go first," Lynn said modestly. "I think I smell fine, it's okay to wait a bit."
