You are all my wings!

He wanted to observe whether the other person would lie next.

“Your concerns are indeed very forward-thinking, but no problem, my strength is more than what you think.”

Astalia smiled.

"Okay, then let's go back to my terms."

Lyon couldn't detect any sign of Astalia lying, so he said, "Since the God is not prepared to remove Rita's divine shackles, then I will propose a compromise."

"Oh?"

"If I can prove that true love and xx can make a person make leaps and bounds, may Your Majesty reconsider my proposal?"

"How are you going to prove it? With Iris Magiru and the others?"

"Yes."

When Lyon heard Astalia Timachlu, he knew that she must have known all about his wild activities with the girls these past few days.

After all, Astalia had only ever been close to herself, Ophimasso, and Britta.

This voyeur goddess!

He cursed inwardly, then immediately suppressed his thoughts and began praising Astalia wildly in purification mode.

Then Astalia swept her gaze over with a half-smile:

"No, they are all exceptionally talented and have extraordinary luck. Using them to prove anything won't work. Perhaps your actions are just the inevitable result of their luck. If you want to prove your theory, you need to use someone with less talent and less luck to prove whether your method is feasible."

Leon was speechless. He wasn't particularly talented, had bad luck, and couldn't even access his own stats. How could he prove it?

"Then we need to give a standard, right? What kind of talent is considered not strong enough, like just average Qi calculation?"

"Too."

Astalia pondered for a moment and said, "The women around you are all quite talented. It's really difficult for you to choose someone whose talent isn't that high to prove it."

Leon nodded repeatedly; the goddess was quite understanding after all.

"How about this, you find another way to prove it."

Astalia said with a smile:

"Helping someone who has reached a bottleneck and can't break through it successfully is also a valid way to prove themselves. And I've already thought of a candidate for you: Castiga. As long as you can help her ascend to godhood, no matter what method you use, I will directly remove Britta's shackles for you and even officiate at your wedding. How about it?"

Castiglione?

Pope Castiglione?

Lyon was speechless. What was wrong with this goddess's thought process?

Camille, standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim, "My God, isn't this a bit too outrageous? Making Leon go to another woman for the sake of one woman, what does that prove? Isn't this forcing Leon to be unfaithful... no, it's condoning his unfaithfulness!"

Astalia said, "Anyway, that's just the kind of person this man is. Whether I tolerate him or not, he'll still reach out if he wants to. I might as well let him reach out to people who need his help more."

Camille was speechless. Was this the god she had worshipped since childhood in her previous life?

Aren't gods supposed to be holy and pure?

Lyon could only admire Astalia; she truly was a goddess, seeing right through him.

However, he wouldn't accept being given a more difficult task instead.

Although it looks like he's on a mission to pick up beautiful women, it seems kind of fun.

“My Lord God, Lord Castiglione has been corrupted by the demons for so long…”

"Don't worry, if you can find this Dragon Blood Treasure, and I recover my full strength, I will naturally have a way to eliminate the demon."

"Then why didn't you eliminate it more than thirty years ago when the deity was at the peak of his power?"

Lyon expressed his doubts.

“Back then, she was too deeply corrupted to be removed easily, as it could damage her soul. But now, that demon, in order to advance to the level of a divine demon, will inevitably find an opportunity to release its corruption on Castiga. That will be the best time to remove it, and the only chance to eradicate the hidden danger.”

"I see. Then why did the gods choose Lady Castiga to let me prove myself? Not to brag, but although I fall in love with every woman I meet, it's only women whose charm can move me. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful they are, I won't make a move."

Lyon declared with righteous indignation.

"Don't worry, based on my observation of you, there's no way you wouldn't like Castiglione."

Astalia said with certainty.

"Because she's pretty?"

Lyon was highly skeptical. There were beautiful women out there, and he was very picky!

Although Castiglione appeared in the previous life's storyline, she only appeared in the last few scenes of the fourth book, with her face completely covered, so he didn't know what she really looked like, only that she had a great figure.

Moreover, compared to the other female protagonists he already knew from his previous life, he had a plan to conquer them. As for the other women, most of them were acquired by chance.

Just like Herwiz, she initially deceived Ophie Marceau in various ways to save her, but after Ophie saved her life, she finally had the intention to seriously win her over.

As for Bai Shaqilai, he simply went with the flow and, by sheer instinct, captivated her, allowing her to successfully take advantage of him.

"The child I have carefully nurtured will naturally be an unparalleled beauty."

Astalia said with a smile:

"However, that's not the key point. You'll find out the specifics when you meet her later."

Lyon was speechless.

"Alright, so what about the other question? Why choose a demigod for me to prove? Becoming a god is such a difficult thing, isn't the deity trusting me too much?"

"I have indeed made some observations about your abilities, and I can see that your efforts to improve Britta and Iris Magil have been effective."

Astalia suddenly became serious, a calm light appearing in her moon-white pupils:

"It remains a question to see what kind of people your abilities can actually work on. After all, it could also be Britta's own potential that, through that feeling of struggle and happiness, fills the void in her soul and makes it easier for her to improve."

Camille, standing to the side, was taken aback.

Astalia's words undoubtedly corroborated what Leon had told her, namely, 'xx has a great effect on improving strength.'

She had always thought it was a lie by Leon, but now it seems it was actually true?

Even if the gods thought the scope of this matter was debatable, the fact is that Britta and the others' strength increased more rapidly as a result.

[Character Camille's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level 88%]

"But I still believe that you have the ability to try to save and help Castiglione. She was a child I had high hopes for. She was very talented, ambitious, and made many contributions to human civilization."

Astalia paused, then continued:

"Therefore, she ascended to demigod status in less than eighty years, making her the youngest demigod on the continent. In fact, the time it took her to achieve demigod status is among the top ten in the long history of mythology. However, despite her talent, she was still stuck a hundred years before ascending to godhood. Then, due to anxiety about the short lifespan of humans, she gradually became paranoid, was bewitched by demons, and ventured into the forbidden realm of life. Furthermore, she repeatedly failed in her experiments on herself, which greatly reduced her lifespan and sowed the seeds for the rise of the Holy Blood School."

Hearing this, Leon understood that Astalia was willing to trade Castiglione for Britta, partly because she was betting on his abilities.

On the other hand, it is estimated that Castiglione has reached a dead end, her lifespan has been weakened by various life alchemy experiments and delayed by the demons.

If you waste your life until it's all gone, then you really can only wait to die.

Taking matters into one's own hands is like trying to revive a dead horse.

"Why doesn't the deity just help her become a god? With the deity's great power, wouldn't it be simple to just take action?"

Camille couldn't help but ask again.

She always felt it was too strange to let Leon accept the gods' instigation to seduce a demigod.

Lyon could have his current partners, such as Britta, Ophim Marceau, and so on, but Camille always felt a lump in her throat if anyone else were added.

She couldn't immediately understand why she had such thoughts.

"I've done everything I could to help her."

Astalia shook her head and said:

"But in fact, there have been no gods for hundreds of thousands of years since I was born. This is not a problem that can be easily overcome. That's why I planned to create a flawless, pure, and untainted body like Britta's thousands of years in advance. This is a physique that most gods can hardly possess. To break through the limits with absolute talent, this is my plan."

Lyon said knowingly, "Because of the suppression of the authority of the ancient gods? May I ask, how did the gods successfully ascend to higher realms back then?"

Why hasn't anyone become a god in hundreds of thousands of years?

Astalia's lifespan isn't 900,000 years; she's probably no more than 200,000 years old right now.

A second revival? Could it be that after her first natural death, she only revived after a long interval?

However, a deity is a deity; even at such an advanced age, she remains as beautiful as a flower.

Astalia glanced at Leon:

Are you secretly thinking I'm too old?

There's a murderous aura about him!

Lyon immediately said, "How could that be! The deity is the youngest god in the history of mythology, eternally youthful, with boundless vitality. His divine body is more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the world, and his skin is more delicate than a newborn baby. He is the epitome of beauty and charm!"

"You've said it nicely, and you're consistent in word and deed, so I'll let you off this time."

Astalia nodded, her expression returning to its usual serene state.

[Goddess Astalia's favorability +1%, current favorability 4%]

Camille was somewhat stunned.

This was the first time she had seen Astalia with such a vibrant, youthful expression.

Previously, the deity she had perceived was more like a statue standing high above in the center of a church, benevolent yet still solemn and distant.

"So, how did the deity successfully become a god in the first place...?"

“This is no secret; I’ve told Britta about it before.”

Astalia said:

"It's very simple. I sneaked into the Land of the End, barely escaping with my life by avoiding all kinds of End Turbulents. I successfully found a Time Turbulent that could exempt me from the suppression of authority, and I successfully advanced there."

"Then why not let Lord Castiglione be promoted there as well?"

Camille asked again.

"That vulnerability has been detected and suppressed again, unless another temporal turbulence that can cover the vulnerability can be found, but unfortunately, I have not found one yet."

Astalia shook her head.

"What kind of authority can cover not only the continent of Auster, but also the Land of the End?"

Lyon clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It's either the Goddess of the End or the Goddess of Origin. Only the authority of these two can cover everything, preventing those who could become gods from doing so. As for why they would do this, I have no idea."

Astalia shook her head and said:

"Alright, do you have any more questions? If you're willing to agree to this condition, I can grant you two more wishes. Including the previous ones, I'll make it three wishes I owe you, so you won't work for nothing."

"But what if I cannot help Lady Castiga become a god?"

Although Leon can optimize the opponent's talent through the open mode, he will probably not succeed in the end if he cannot break through the suppression of the authority of the Goddess of the End or the Origin.

"That proves you can't bring about miracles. If you want to marry Britta, you can only wait until the cataclysm is over."

Astalia's eyes curved into a smile.

Lyon was speechless. This guy had really placed his bets on Britta.

Why does she need Castiglione or Britta to become gods?

Moreover, why is she so certain that she will like Castiglione?

"Well, I can only say that the gods are indeed gods; a few promises are enough to get people to work for free."

Lyon sighed:

"But I trust the character of the deity, so I accepted this task, but I can't guarantee it will work out."

Astalia's beautiful, moon-white pupils lit up slightly.
