You are all my wings!

Although Hamra's main stance is to remain uncompetitive and to have Lyon's word be law, he certainly doesn't want to be completely without status.

'I need to work harder to become stronger too. With Leon's help lately, I'm in excellent form and have already mastered quite a bit of epic magic. I should keep up the good work!'

Besides, Margaret also had something else on her mind.

Seeing Castiglione's radical and audacious actions, she felt not only speechless at Castiglione, but also a strange, sour feeling.

This discovery shocked her!

What's wrong with me?

'Am I jealous of Castiglione? Jealous that she rose to the same rank as me?'

'No, I've accumulated enough experience and will soon reach the eleventh rank. I'm not jealous of her rank!'

'Instead, they were jealous that she could still maintain such intense emotions even after becoming a goddess!'

'Am I also longing for that kind of feeling with Leon?'

'Impossible, absolutely impossible!'

'I am a god, how could I possibly have feelings for a mortal? I just felt he was of some help to me, that's all!'

'Yes, ever since Leon exposed my identity, besides Astalia, only he knows my secret.'

That's why I have a more special view of him than others, because only he knows who I am.

"That's right, it has nothing to do with anything else, it's simply because he's special."

[Goddess Margaret's favorability +4%, current favorability 50%]

After this mental preparation, Margaret felt she had regained her composure.

She even had the leisure to approach Moriarty and joke with her:

"Mollype, Castiglione has already become a god. When will you be able to ascend to demigod status? Isn't it time to take off the hat of this generation of pope?"

Beside her, Molly glanced at Margaret and said, "Why are you suddenly acting so unlike yourself?"

"Doesn't look like me?"

Margaret was taken aback.

"Yes, you would never normally speak to me in this tone. It's too stiff."

Mollypee shook her head:

“Even Lady Castiglione, although she is outrageous now, still has a consistent style, just as radical and bold. But you, your style has become unlike your former calm and collected self.”

Margaret was stunned and didn't fly until she fell a little behind, then realized what was happening and caught up again.

[Goddess Margaret's favorability +2%, current favorability 52%]

……

Although they said they should consummate the marriage immediately.

But Lyon wasn't in such a hurry to start a war with Castiglione.

Because the level of affection was still a bit low, he said that they should deal with those past lives first, and then consummate their marriage.

In short, delay first, and then try to increase affection through foreplay.

After everyone returned to the halfling camp, they began to watch Leon's actions.

He used the same old method to unify the past lives of Castiglione and Moripe, so that they had no memory of coming upon seeing the message, and instead, he tricked them into believing that they had been practicing magic in the Holy See.

After that, all that's needed is to quietly transport the two past incarnations back to the Vatican and put them back in their respective rooms, and that's it.

Lyon had originally planned to handle this step alone, but Moripert spoke up and asked:

"Wait, I don't understand. How did you resolve the memories of these two past incarnations who came to this halfling settlement? Aren't you afraid of interfering with the future?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a self-created magic called [Spirit Miracle], which can manipulate spirituality to a certain extent and can also use spirituality to interfere with memories."

"Interference with memory?"

Molipe looked thoughtful.

"Yes, it only works when you are caught off guard, and it can only interfere with the traces extracted from your two future selves. It is quite limited and can only interfere with memories within one or two days. But the advantage is that your past selves will not remember this part of your past life."

Because memory manipulation is a special kind of magic that is likely to arouse suspicion, in order to maintain harmony within the harem, Leon did not exaggerate the effects of this skill and set quite a few restrictions.

While these restrictions do have some impact on the effectiveness of skills after fraud, conversely, the more restrictions a skill has, the easier it is to be fraudulent, and the less need to accumulate a large amount of fraud.

"You can even create this yourself?"

When Mouri asked again, she couldn't help but think of her formidable rival, Herwiz.

The dark elves are skilled in this kind of magic.

"Of course, once we transport your past selves back and observe them, we'll know, won't we?"

“Okay, then I’ll take charge of transporting these two past incarnations.”

"Mollype took the initiative," she said.

"Then I'll go too. I'll take this opportunity to find my personal treasure trove and bring you some wedding secrets."

Castiglione said with a smile.

The others originally wanted to go as well, but Lyon said they would be back soon and there was no need for such a big fuss, lest it attract the attention of other experts from the Vatican.

The three women agreed.

At this moment, Lyon and the Pope on behalf of the Pope set off again, taking their two past incarnations with them, to the human kingdom.

……

This time, thanks to Castiglione, the three of them were incredibly fast.

With a mere wave of her hand, a faint holy light flickered, and Leon felt enveloped in a warm, milky holy light, transforming him into a shooting star at lightning speed, instantly surpassing the speed of sound by twenty times and reaching an astonishing speed of thirty times.

Lyon secretly admired her; it seemed that although they were both at the tenth rank, Castiglione's combat power was probably stronger than Margaret's.

It should be noted that the maximum flight speed of a legendary-level being is generally three times the speed of sound, that of an epic-level being six times, and that of a demigod being around ten to twelve times.

In terms of normal amplification, a god with a speed of about twenty times the speed of sound is already extremely terrifying.

Castiglione was able to easily carry people to 30 times the speed of sound immediately after becoming a god, which shows that the tribulation she went through to become a god had a significant boost on her.

In three million years, he was the first person to directly face the tribulation of becoming a god and actually become one. Although he used many tricks, his achievement is still very significant.

Moreover, Castigatti ranked in the top fifty during the [Long Rank of Knowledge], dozens of places higher than the Dragon Queen Feherroti, which shows that her talent is very impressive. No wonder she is highly regarded by Astalia.

Moreover, such a terrifying speed cutting through the atmosphere should theoretically create a large air barrier and produce a violent screech that shakes the heavens and the earth.

But the three of them, along with the two unconscious past incarnations, disappeared without a trace. Only a faint trace of holy light flashed and vanished at the edge of the azure sky, like a phantom.

"Is this flying using the power of authority?"

Lyon then asked.

Castiglione said:

"It was divine power. I used divine power to annihilate the air barrier. Divine power is just a common blessing effect at the legendary and epic levels. At the demigod level, it will transform into a hymn. At this time, it is no longer just a blessing, but a special power closely connected with the soul. It can suppress everything below the level. After I became a god, I no longer need to spend any magic power or mental power to control it as easily as my own arms. Using this to fly is very easy."

Lyon pondered this, no wonder the forest apostle used divine power so much when it was restricted.

Moorley couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Excellency, does that mean if you were to imbue yourself with magic or even divine energy, wouldn't you be able to fly even faster?"

Castiglione nodded: "That's right, if we go all out, the speed can at least double."

Mouripe clicked her tongue and said, "Can someone who has just entered the realm of gods travel at sixty times the speed of sound in a second? It seems that the difference between a demigod and a god is really huge."

Lyon was somewhat surprised. He found that in front of Castiglione, Moripe was not at all as mature and composed as she had been when they first met. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, but she would occasionally reveal some girlish behavior.

interesting.

Noticing Leon's strange look, Molly noticed and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lyon smiled slightly: "No problem, it's just that I find it quite interesting that you and Lady Castiglione have the same face but different personalities."

What do you mean by "interesting"?

Molipe then asked.

"For example, when you're around Castiglione, you sometimes can't control yourself and act like a little girl, which is great. I like that side of you."

Lyon said.

"Tsk, you already have Lady Castiglione, and you still want to flirt with me?"

Molly closed her eyes dismissively and began to meditate.

[Main character Moriarty's affection level increased by 4%, current affection level is 28%]

Castiglione was slightly surprised when she saw this scene. Moripe rarely showed emotional expressions in front of outsiders.

Why did she show such an unusual side after Leon just praised her?

However, Castiglione had to admit that Leon's charm had subtly increased to a whole new level compared to how she first saw him before he ascended the steps to godhood.

This enhanced charm stems from his new temperament, which arose from his profound understanding of the mysteries of ice, a subtle and aloof coolness like ice and snow, and the invisible blessing of being the first in history to achieve the [Investigation of Things] level.

And then there's M'shiruna, who, despite the overwhelming power of the Origin Goddess's will, was still able to see through its hidden secrets.

Although he gained no substantial gains from his various clashes and battles with high-level experts, his demeanor and intangible aura were indeed much stronger than before.

Thinking of this, Castiglione put her hand on Leon's shoulder, her bright red lips smiling as she whispered in his ear:

"What, you haven't even consummated your marriage with me, the Pope, yet you're already thinking about seducing a substitute Pope? Want to have a double pope affair?"

Her voice was light and airy, like bubbles gently bursting in Lyon's ear, creating a strange and sweet echo in his cochlea.

As she spoke, she gently kneaded and explored various parts of Leon's body with her slender fingers, the teasing intent quite obvious.

Lyon sensed something, secretly applauded, and then smiled and said, "I just like to speak the truth, I don't have any other thoughts."

"Oh? Then why didn't you tell the truth and praise me?"

Castiglione's little hand had already touched Lyon's waist, gently kneading it.

"You are already perfect. Even your adventurous and radical personality, which may be dangerous, makes you more charming and allows me to feel your intense emotions even more."

As Leon spoke, he added in his mind, "You're the second woman who launched a major offensive against me before my favorability rating even reached 90%."

The previous one was Ophim Marceau.

"Not bad, not bad."

Castiglione smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Anything else? Tell me more."

[Goddess Castiglione's affection level +2%, current affection level 86%]

Lyon then said:

"I am honored and flattered that you would pursue me so earnestly. I am still puzzled as to why you are so determined to be with me."

"Oh? Weren't the reasons I gave you before enough?"

Castiglione was surprised:

"I fell in love with you at first sight, and you saved my life twice, helping me become a god despite the pressure of the Origin Goddess's imminent arrival... Isn't that enough to make me fall for you? You're so fickle with others, why are you so restrained with me? Don't you like my type?"

Lyon shook his head: "No, you should know Britta, right? She's my wife, which means your looks suit my taste. And as I just said, your personality is very charming, which is exactly what I like. I can't wait to spend the night with you right now."

Castiglione's eyes widened as she moved closer to Leon, her voice trembling with emotion: "Are you serious?"

[Goddess Castiglione's affection level +2%, current affection level 88%]

"of course."

Lyon nodded.

"Then why are you so restrained? If it were Hamra or Baishaqilai, you would have been making all sorts of little moves by now, right? I've seen you touching Baishaqilai's tail and teasing Hamra's little hand from time to time. What, do you think I'm a god and you don't dare to do anything?"

Castiglione raised her head defiantly.

Leon was speechless: "You've observed me quite closely. Fine, come closer then."

"what happened?"

Castiglione was surprised, but she still moved a little closer as instructed.

Her previous attire had been destroyed during her ascension, and she was now wearing Moripe's spare robe, made of white silk, which complemented her snow-white skin perfectly.

As she drew near to Lyon, inhaling his warm breath, she suddenly felt a strange sense of anticipation.
