You are all my wings!

With the gods absent, demigods are already the true top-tier powerhouses on the continent.

Hamra and Baishaqilai exchanged a glance.

Neither of them expected it; they had never noticed before that Castiglione was interested in Leon.

At that time, she was clearly only focused on becoming a god.

But Castiglione's current proactive approach, and her attitude of giving away her entire fortune, is truly astonishing.

Margaret was speechless. "No, I mean, how come you still have these feelings? Shouldn't you be free of such worldly thoughts?"

"Maybe I'm just the type of person who's very emotional, or maybe it's because I made this decision before I became a god."

Castiglione shook her head: "At this moment, the reason why I still have this thought is no longer important. I only know that I just want to be Leon's wife now, and I only know that if it weren't for this bet, I wouldn't know how to bring it up with him next time."

Mouripet couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency Castiglione, you are the Pope. Won't this have a negative impact?"

Castiglione smiled and said, "I've been missing from the Holy See for so many years, so it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not, right? Besides, I've become a god, can't I even have this much autonomy?"

"But how can we explain this to the goddess Astalia? Wasn't she said to have been resurrected?" said Moripert.

Castiglione said, "I will explain this to the goddess Astalia, and her saintly bondage is no longer easy to suppress me after I became a god."

Mouripe was speechless; it seemed her Pope was determined to marry Leon.

I have no idea what she was thinking.

Bai Shaqilai coughed lightly and spoke at the opportune moment:

"Goddess Castigatia, what are you really up to? Leon is my husband. Are you sure you want to join our group as a god?"

As she spoke, she gestured to Hamra, signaling for Hamra to speak as well.

Even when facing a god, even a newly promoted one, no matter how strong-willed Bai Shaqilai is, she knows she can't fight alone.

Hamra naturally noticed Bai Shaqilai's gaze, and she said:

"Everything is up to my dear, I'll agree with whatever he says... But if you try to bully the weak and force Leon into submission, I will stand with Leon to the death and fight you to the death!"

Her voice was calm, and her gentle face revealed a resolute expression.

Castiglione chuckled, "I didn't force him. It was Lyon who proposed the bet to me. He said that if we won the bet, we would get engaged."

Hamra nodded slightly: "Since it was Lyon who proposed it, then I will listen to his wishes and fully support all his ideas and actions."

Bai Shaqilai cursed inwardly, "Hamra is being way too obsequious! If you don't fight for your rights, how will you get any? Once Lyon has more and more women around him, you'll see where you'll have a place!"

Despite her thoughts, Bai Shaqilai immediately stated, "I also respect all of Lyon's decisions! If he refuses, God of Castiglione, please stop bothering him, okay?"

Bai Shaqilai had only one thought: to become strong enough to become the mistress of Lyon's harem.

If she had the chance to turn the tables and get Leon to treat her wholeheartedly, she would do everything in her power to achieve that.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me talk to Leon first."

Castiglione smiled but did not directly answer Bai Shaqilai's question.

After she became a goddess, half of her physical problems were resolved, and her complexion looked much healthier. She was still exceptionally fair-skinned, much fairer and brighter than all the women present, and the sickly redness from before was gone. She was full of vitality.

That face, so identical to Britta's, seemed to be radiating light at this moment. The sense of holiness remained, and even became stronger with her becoming a god. Yet, in her charming smile, she was both beautiful and alluring.

Then she looked at Leon, her face showing anticipation:

"So, when do you plan to fulfill your promise?"

Lyon thought to himself, "This guy is just like Ophie Marceau."

Are all adventurous people really this radical type?

Castiglione previously described herself as a gambler, and now she's probably betting everything.

He then coughed lightly: "Are you sure? The fact that you've become a god means you've won the bet."

Castiglione raised a slender eyebrow slightly and said, "What, you want to back out? You don't want to marry me anymore?"

Lyon laughed and said, "Didn't you say before that you weren't interested in me and only saw me as a younger brother?"

[Castiga's affection level +4%, current affection level 82%]

Castiglione's cheeks flushed slightly.

“The past is the past, and the present is the present! Back then, I hadn’t figured things out yet, and I was on the verge of death. Even if I had thoughts, I would have kept them to myself. But now that I’ve become a god because of you, I’m grateful to you, and I have indeed had feelings for you for a long time. Why should I suppress them anymore?”

Lyon was somewhat surprised: "You had this idea all along?"

"Of course!"

As Castiglione spoke, seemingly moved, she reached out her slender white arm and grasped Leon's hand:

"I'm not afraid to tell you, the first time I saw you after I woke up, I didn't know why I liked you so much. But I quickly suppressed my feelings because the bondage of the Holy Maiden still existed for me at that time. Each subsequent contact only made it harder for me to suppress myself... All this, until I became a god, I finally understood everything."

Leon understood; no wonder Castiglione had been so kind to him from the start.

He then said:

"Alright, aren't you curious why I proposed this so-called engagement to you back then? Do you remember that I said at the time that I hadn't developed those feelings for you yet?"

He wasn't really going to refuse, but he needed to clarify these details beforehand to avoid future problems.

As a seasoned veteran, he understood all too well the importance of preparation.

The effects of telling something beforehand versus not telling it beforehand are drastically different.

Castiglione blinked and said, "Of course I remember, but you still proposed, didn't you?"

"Aren't you going to ask why?"

Lyon became curious; Castiglione was indeed quite interesting.

"I won't ask anymore, I'll never ask again. I'll just think you're a womanizer, falling in love with every girl you meet."

As Castiglione spoke, she gradually approached Lyon:

"I know you have many beautiful women. Besides the ones here, there are probably many other girls who are deeply in love with you. Don't worry, I'm not very possessive. I only ask for one thing."

"Only one item is required?"

Lyon was surprised.

"That's right, I want to be your number one. Can you grant me that request?"

Castiglione Road.

"no!"

Bai Shaqilai snorted, her pair of pink, fluffy cat ears perking up:

"Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served, God Castiga? You think you're so great just because you've become a god now? I'll be a god soon too. I have dual professions, specializing in time-based magic, so my future potential is even greater!"

Castiglione laughed immediately: "I was just joking with Leon. I don't care about being number one or anything."

Bai Shaqilai frowned. What exactly was this guy trying to do?

This guy became much more arrogant after becoming a god.

"Then why did you ask that?"

"It's just to lighten the mood. After all, I don't even want to ask what Leon's initial purpose in proposing was, so why would I really ask for these things?"

Castiglione's eyes sparkled, and she smiled warmly.

"I will only use my strength and charm to make Lyon have only me in his heart, to make him enjoy himself with me every day, and then slowly ignore you all."

Bai Shaqilai felt a chill run down her spine. This guy said he wouldn't monopolize things in name only, but he really had a strong desire to possess them.

Although it wasn't the kind of morbid possessiveness she had, this kind of thing, which was clearly a declaration of sovereignty, was more intimidating.

"Then come on! I want to see how good you are in bed, Pope!"

"OK."

Castiglione nodded and chuckled, then looked at Leon with a burning gaze:

"Leon, shall we consummate our marriage when we get back?"

"no problem."

Lyon said, "But before that, I need to ask some questions."

He wanted to stall for time a bit because the favorability rating hadn't broken 90% yet, and he wasn't sure if it would affect unlocking new modes later if he really did *that*.

Moreover, Castiglione has now ascended to the status of a goddess, and her influence is too great. Just in case, we still need to have a clear talk first.

If she gets jealous later and tries to get rid of her other wives, he won't be able to handle it.

Given her past record of almost being corrupted by the demon and then conducting large-scale life alchemy experiments, it is still necessary.

"No problem, go ahead and ask."

Castiglione did not look away.

“If I told you that the person who asked me to propose to you was the goddess Astalia, who wanted me to help you become a god, and that I had made a promise with her that I would marry her after I became a god.”

Leon paused for a moment, then said:

Knowing these two things, are you still determined not to change your mind and want to become my wife? Will you have any reservations?

Chapter 458 begins! Defying Fate Mode!

These words surprised all the women.

In particular, Molipe couldn't understand why her own god would let an outsider woo her own pope.

Moreover, this person had clearly attacked Britta!

Could it be that the goddess I've always believed in is inherently corrupt?

Her expression was strange and unusual; she almost lost her composure.

But her pope's next remarks made her lose her composure even more.

"Oh, is that all?"

Castiglione blinked:

"It doesn't sound like a big deal."

Lyon was speechless: "You're quite carefree."

Castiglione smiled leisurely:

“How could there be any resentment? My life was saved by the gods, and she has nurtured me to this day. I even feel a little ashamed for letting her down. But now that she is trying to bring us together, I am even happier, proving that my choice was the right one.”

[Goddess Castiglione's affection level +2%, current affection level 84%]

As she spoke, she reached out her other hand and grabbed Leon, saying:

"Let's consummate our marriage tonight! I can't wait for you to fall completely in love with me."

Mollypee: "..."

Margaret: "..."

The two former saintesses were speechless.

Is this really the Pope they remember, the one who was obsessed with the alchemy of life and had a cold and aloof personality?

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Bai Shaqilai said, "It seems I have to join your battle and compare myself to you. Goddess Castiga, you won't stop this, will you?"

Castiglione's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "You wish! This is my first experience, so don't try to get in my way. If you want to compare your skills in bed with mine, you can do it next time, understand?"

As she spoke, an invisible divine power suppressed her, and Bai Shaqilai's pretty face darkened.

This guy actually came up to suppress me after just crossing such a big level!

How despicable! How hateful!

When I become a god, you'll see!

For a time, Bai Shaqilai's fighting spirit was higher than ever before.

Hamra felt a pang of regret; her first time had also been interfered with by Bai Shaqilai, preventing her from having that wonderful night alone with him.

If I had been stronger than Bai Shaqilai back then, wouldn't I have no such worries?
