Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

A crisp sound of solidification pierced through the space, and the surging, roaring waves instantly came to a complete stop.

A chilling aura permeated the air, so intense that even the light touching the ice seemed to freeze.

"Meteorite, falling." The crimson eyeball hovering in the air murmured softly.

Almost simultaneously, a dazzling flash of light appeared deep in the sky, and a meteorite with a diameter of more than 30 meters tore through the sky, falling like lightning with a crimson tail!

Without a doubt, a 30-meter meteorite with such mass and speed would not only kill Rhodes, but would probably be enough to shatter the entire consciousness space!

But Rhodes just stared at the meteorite, remaining indifferent.

He doesn't have time to keep up with these petty tricks.

Blood loss and severe injuries caused his body temperature to drop rapidly, and his extremities gradually became numb, posing a significant challenge to his mental well-being.

To put it bluntly, if it had dragged on for another two minutes, he probably would have been in serious trouble.

Therefore, this issue must be resolved quickly.

"I don't quite understand, what part of Ivina are you?"

"Perhaps it was the violence, or perhaps it was the shell she used to protect her own soul."

"But all in all..." Rhodes murmured, "Goodnight, because from now on, she will have someone to protect her."

"Black hole".

He uttered the word softly.

Om-!

The world suddenly began to spin.

A terrifying gravitational force erupted from the location of the scarlet eyeball. In an instant, the towering ice sculpture wave shattered and swept towards the center like a reverse blizzard, with countless fragments frantically hurling at the scarlet eyeball!

At the same time, Rhodes, pulled by gravity, was nearly broken apart by the terrifying force of gravity and flew toward the scarlet eyes!

All matter, energy, and even light began to collapse and twist wildly toward that eyeball, forming a chaotic vortex that destroyed everything.

"What is this...?!"

Its eyeballs emitted a piercing shriek, and its form began to deform and elongate under the tearing force of gravity. The concept of existence was being violently dismantled by some rule it could not understand.

The key issue is that it has absolutely no idea how to resist!

Black hole?

What is that?!

Its understanding is completely devoid of such a thing!

This is true.

Ivina... is illiterate, and even if she studied hard, she wouldn't learn about celestial bodies like black holes.

As a result, the whole world was thrown into chaos, but Rhodes remained calm.

"Is this all you need? Read more books, Miss Ivina."

Rhode watched as the black hole relentlessly tore apart his eyes and swallowed everything in its path, but then he unexpectedly discovered—

It seems like he flew there faster than his eyes were torn apart.

"Tsk... I was careless."

Rhodes looked at the world, which still showed no cracks, and sighed softly...

Indeed, there is only one simple way to break through this soul space.

In this world, there exists something that can easily tear apart the soul and spirit of all humans.

He also stood at the pinnacle of all spiritual realms, becoming the strongest soul to attain godhood.

Since he can even imagine a black hole in this world, there's no reason why that other existence can't be created, right?

But... we don't know if what's summoned is a real "god" or just an empty shell.

Driven by such curiosity, he finally made up his mind, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Then let's give it a try."

【God of the Soul's Derivation】, your believer prays here.

Rhodes clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and prayed in his heart—

"Please come down."

thump.

All sounds are silent.

Gravity disappeared, sound vanished, and even time seemed to be ripped away.

Tumbling ice shards, falling meteorites, distorted light—all the vectors of motion return to zero the instant a certain will descends.

Immediately afterwards, the sky was lifted up from above.

And in that instant—

A graceful, slender girl with pink hair, her back unfurled with enormous angel wings, fell upside down from the sky, cleaving the boundary of the world—

Her arrival was gentle yet irresistible; wherever she passed, the scarlet ocean was tinged with dreamy pastel hues, and crack-like patterns of light spread from the boundaries of space.

In an instant, the crimson in the ocean was tinged with a beautiful hue by the pink story, and at the same time, that god turned his head and glanced at Rhodes.

Her gaze faltered for a moment, then a radiant and sweet smile bloomed on her lips—

But the next moment, that smile abruptly changed—her lips parted slightly, and a harsh whisper, completely incongruous with her sacred demeanor, struck Rhodes' ears precisely:

Fuck your mother.

Then, pink engulfed everything.

The illusion, the eyeball, the scars, the lingering black vortex, and that crude divine oracle all returned to pure white.

It's as if it never existed.

……

...

The moment Rhodes regained consciousness, the excruciating pain in his body was still lingering.

Moreover, the coldness in my limbs was indeed real.

He didn't care that his goddess had sworn, and he understood that she was angry because it was late at night and she had been woken up from her sleep.

He dared to call upon his own god, so of course he had his own courage.

As the heir of a family favored by the gods, he had naturally met that deity, so he knew her background.

Rhodes was about to kick Ivina away, who was still sucking blood, when he realized that he had opened his eyes but could not see the moon or the sky.

All I could see was a strand of silver hair and a lovely face;

At this moment, Ivina had already given in, and Rhodes could only feel Ivina's saliva still on his neck.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other.

"Why did you give in?" Rod asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Your blood... is so full. It's already swollen after just a couple of bites. Why is that?" Ivina murmured, puzzled.

Leaving aside the fact that Rhodes could casually unlock the ocean of consciousness, and also the reason why Rhodes was able to directly project the [God of Souls] into her ocean of consciousness.

The real problem is—

Why is his blood so thick?

"Who knows?" Rhodes exhausted all his strength, and after several hundred more milliliters of blood were drained, he could no longer hold on.

"Rhodes, wait! Don't die!" Ivina suddenly realized that the most crucial thing now was Rhodes's life.

She was so anxious she was about to cry, and she frantically shook Rod's body.

"Stop shaking me, or I'll die!"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Go quickly and call someone to take me home, and then bandage me up. I know you must have a lot to say to me slowly."

So, let's talk slowly after I've recovered, okay?

"..." Ivina's fingertips trembled slightly, her heart gripped tightly by Rhodes's words.

"I'll go right away!"

She quickly got up and ran from the back garden of the Duke's mansion to the front garden.

At this moment, as Rhodes looked at the moonlight in the sky, his eyelids felt increasingly heavy.

I can't sleep... If I sleep, my skills will be turned off, and I might really die.

However, the coldness in my body was definitely real.

It's so painful, so incredibly painful...

But at that very moment, a voice rang out—

【Thank you.】

"Um--?"

For some reason, the moment he heard those words, he couldn't keep his eyelids open any longer.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep—
