You are all my wings!

Unexpectedly, Terena seemed quite inclined to go with the flow.

"Hmph, you don't seem to expect me to agree?"

Terena raised her long, slender golden eyebrows, a hint of displeasure at Leon's reaction flashing in her eyes.

"You flatter me, sir. I am very pleased."

Lyon's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his judgment of Therena was wrong?

Actually, she had wanted to be his wife for a long time.

Based on our previous interactions, I don't think she'd change her mindset immediately, right?

"Even though you say that, you're probably wondering why I agreed to it?"

Terena asked in a calm voice, clearly seeing through Lyon's thoughts.

"I couldn't hide it from you, Your Excellency. I only hoped to express my feelings, but I didn't expect you to actually agree."

Lyon had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In fact, there was a reason for his doubts.

Based on his interactions and the level of affection he has with Aurahande and Styx, in order to build a closer relationship with these powerful goddesses, in addition to a sufficiently high level of affection, he also needs to have a sufficient degree of equality.

Equality, however, generally depends on strength.

You don't necessarily have to be better than them, but you can't be too far behind them.

"Actually, I never thought I would agree."

Terena glanced at Leon and said indifferently:

"However, since you dare to make this request, I'll look forward to the outcome. I hope you won't disappoint me. I'll talk to the person in charge of Taginia next. Don't leave my side."

Lyon's heart stirred slightly, and he keenly realized a key issue—

In other words, he had indeed not yet become an equal being recognized by Terena.

This is not surprising, it's even quite normal.

After all, the gap in strength between the two is still huge.

However, her words and attitude suggest that she has a high degree of self-acceptance in some aspects, which is quite contradictory.

Just as Lyon was pondering this, he suddenly felt a warmth on his shoulder and a faint fragrance in his nose, which invigorated him.

He immediately realized that It was Therena who had gracefully taken flight and landed on his shoulder with her small body.

And this sitting posture is exactly the same as the one she will adopt when she sits on Leon's shoulder in the future. Her feet are crossed and close to Leon's right chest, her slender white arms are gently supporting Leon's left shoulder, her long dress is flowing, and her posture is elegant.

Immediately, a tremendous force surged forth, carrying him and Terena, and they were suddenly sent flying out of the circle of the sacred tree.

Terena's voice came at the same time: "Although the future experiment may not succeed, since I have already acknowledged you as my fiancé, then when you announce your name in the future, you should also announce your relationship with me, understand?"

Lyon replied, "Understood."

"Then, even though we're not married yet, you still have to fulfill your obligations, understand?"

"obligation?"

"It's...it's exactly what you and I have been doing the past few days!"

Terena's voice once again betrayed a hint of embarrassment, much more so than before, which made Leon chuckle inwardly.

Just as Leon was about to chuckle, Terena reached out and pinched his cheek: "Don't laugh!"

Lyon replied, "Sir, can't I be pleased with your request?"

"You really just think that way, and you're not mocking me?"

Terena turned her head to look at her suspiciously.

"Of course, otherwise why would I propose to you?"

Lyon looked stern.

"Hmph, you pass."

Terena patted Leon's head and ruffled his silver hair, saying with satisfaction:

"If you behave well in the future, even if you're no longer useful in the experiment, I'll still give you a bigger reward."

[Goddess Therena's favorability +2%, current favorability 124%]

By this time, Lyon had a vague idea of ​​Terena's mindset.

Just like when I was at the third tier and I was with Helvie, because there was a big gap in strength between us, she remained proud until the very end and never compromised on anything.

Therena is in the same state right now. Her strength and long-standing habits dictate that she wants Therena to become more gentle and to show more tenderness in this relationship. She probably still has a long way to go.

To make them act like Hamra, Iris, Maquill, Baishaqilai, etc., who start a fight within 3 seconds of meeting you, you either need to have a high enough level of affection for them to cross their bottom line.

Or there is an extremely suitable opportunity (such as during the time in the sex prison).

Either their presence makes them impossible to ignore, and the equality is sufficient, making it easier to level the playing field in terms of attitude.

The goddesses they've already slept with, such as M'shiruna and Shitikos, are in the same situation. They still have their own pride and won't easily become addicted to sex and intimacy with themselves.

During the long and arduous period of life and death, when she and Castiglione, Moripert and others were intimate, the difference in their strength was not significant, so they were actually more uninhibited and more likely to become infatuated with that kind of intimate entanglement.

The only exception is Astalia, who, despite the vast difference in strength, is still infatuated with Leon and has always been gentle.

Secondly, there is Cheng Erheli ten thousand years later. After kidnapping Leon and arriving at the New Auster Continent, she teased and entangled him several times, only to take the final step.

As they spoke, Terena had already flown to the outer edge of the Holy Land with Leon, appearing in front of the dragon horde in the blink of an eye. Her magnificent divine power surged out, easily blocking the dragon horde.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Cheng Erheli and the others.

M'shiluna's eyes widened: "He actually succeeded? That means his [Wish Miracle Spell] really worked?"

Despite knowing she should trust Leon, she was still shocked to see him persuade Therena, who was otherwise unlikely to intervene.

[Goddess M'shiruna's affection level +2%, current affection level 108%]

Anemi murmured, "But why don't I sense any magical fluctuations?"

Castiglione, however, wore a solemn expression:

“It’s normal that you didn’t feel it. The higher the level of magical control, the less likely the fluctuations are to be detected. This shows that this is indeed magic he created himself, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to control it so freely. It seems that Leon Belron’s strength may not be just eleventh level!”

Upon hearing this, Anemi was startled:

"Could it be that Lord Lyon is a once-in-millions-years twelfth-order saint? If so, no wonder I always thought his strength only looked like that of a seventh-order saint. It turns out that the gap between us was too great, and I failed to see his true strength."

[Because of the magic you fabricated, many high-ranking goddesses believed in it without a doubt, and you successfully elevated the miracle spell to a wish-granting miracle spell.]

[Due to the accumulation of multiple frauds, you have triggered the advanced enlightenment of the Fraudster.]

Chapter 545 Dialogue

Camille sized up Thera, who had suddenly appeared, and Leon, who was sitting on her shoulders.

She was dressed in a short feathered shirt that exposed her skin, back, and belly, her long red hair fluttering in the wind, and her colorful dragon horns shining brightly on her head, standing in front of the dragons.

She spoke up, "Lady Therena, didn't we agree before that we would not interfere with each other in this battle?"

Terena didn't answer, but glanced at the giant dragon that dominated the night sky above her head.

"My mother has entrusted me with full command of this battle."

Camille said:

"You don't need to seek answers from your mother; just talk to me."

Terena said calmly, "If you can make the decision, then I will declare to you that the war is over and there is no need to fight anymore. Then you tell Tagina to stop dawdling outside the world. Does she think that simply placing a part of her body in the gap between the two worlds can intimidate me? Tell her to come to me in her true form."

Leon's heart stirred slightly. He hadn't expected that Taginia, who had created such a commotion, was not actually in her true form.

Camille frowned and said, "Your Excellency, this time, we have deployed almost all of our forces, and we are determined to win!"

Terena: "Oh, you want to go against me?"

Camille said, "If you don't want to back down, then we have no choice but to fight."

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but right now I have thousands of dragon followers by my side, and my mother's power is also supporting me from afar. You are all alone right now. Although the curse of the sacred tree has been lifted, you still cannot exert your power. In terms of overall strength, we still have the advantage!"

Camille said sternly:

"I'm not afraid to tell you, if you hadn't cleared the curse of the Holy Tree beforehand, we wouldn't have launched our attack so suddenly. After all, once the Holy Tree recovers, we will never have another chance to wage war against the Holy Land."

Terena narrowed her eyes and said, "So you really intend to have a contest with me?"

"I would like to ask you, why did you suddenly change your mind? You could have easily reaped the benefits and taken over the power of the rest of the Holy Land after we made our move."

Camille said.

Terena said, "If you want to know the answer, have Taginia herself appear and talk to me."

Leon knew that Terena wanted Taginia's true form to appear in this world, probably to prevent her from using some additional methods outside of this world.

For example, while seemingly conversing with Therena, he was actually creating another entrance outside of this world to take the opportunity to attack the Holy Land.

Only if Taginia is fully present in this world can Terena most likely feel at ease talking to her.

"My mother already has most of her body in this world, so why should she waste her power to descend in full?"

Camille smiled, but her tone remained unyielding.

Hearing this, Lyon felt a little puzzled.

Camille has shown no extra emotional fluctuations so far, and her resolute appearance shows that her determination for this battle is much higher than initially estimated.

Lyon initially judged that this was just a routine battle between the Holy Land and the Star Realm.

It now seems that there are probably other hidden variables that I haven't noticed.

'We need to figure out her real reason for insisting on this fight, otherwise, given the current situation, the Holy Land will likely lose more often than not if a real battle breaks out.'

With that in mind, Leon focused intently on the past version of Camille before him, a flood of recently acquired information flashing through his mind.

Camille's strength at the thirteenth level is undoubtedly at its peak in this life. Her height is no different from her future height, which is around 1.85 meters, slightly shorter than Lyon.

She has a tall and slender figure, a light tan complexion, and radiant skin. She also exudes a powerful aura, possessing a wild and untamed feminine charm that naturally arises from a certain level of physical prowess.

Those fiery red eyes were like the finest rubies, incredibly beautiful.

As she spoke, her gaze repeatedly fell on Leon, occasionally flashing a thoughtful expression, which made Leon ponder even more.

She is also of a very high generation, being the first dragon blood inheritor created by Tagonia early in the Genesis era using a large amount of dragon blood and creation magic from her fall.

Although not conceived and born by Taginia herself, she still possesses extremely high endowments, making her a semi-divine species. Having experienced multiple era restarts, she currently possesses the strength of the peak thirteenth rank and is hailed as one of the goddesses closest to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone in the present era.

As for the other thirteenth-tier peak true gods who are on par with her, there are also three celestial star nature gods.

The True God of Blazing Sun, the True God of Cold Moon, and the True God of Gaia, also known as the Three Star Gods of Sun, Moon, and Earth, are invincible beings at the True God level.

Incidentally, Saturnus, whom Lyon encountered ten thousand years ago and in this era, whose power and body were taken away by the alien god, was also a celestial star god.

He is the nature god of Saturn, with peak twelfth-order strength. Although his rank has not yet reached thirteenth-order, his body is one of the largest among celestial bodies, giving him extremely high strength. Therefore, he is a top-tier powerhouse in this era.

'Is it because she believes she's certain to win and doesn't want to miss the opportunity, so even with Terena blocking her way, she remains confident?'

'Huh, how come there's another 13th-tier being hidden over there?'

As Lyon pondered, he glanced at another black dragon not far from Camille.

This is another entity that needs close attention besides the Star Lord Taginia and her eldest daughter Camille. He hadn't noticed them before, but with the appearance of Terena, the black dragon began to show its powerful aura, seemingly in a show of force.

This black dragon is a thousand meters long, with huge wings on its back, scales like steel, and a rough, black body. Its eyes are majestic and emit powerful, dark lightning. As it swims, thunder roars constantly around its body, and ice flames flash. Its head is extremely ferocious.

Moreover, it makes no attempt to conceal its otherworldly aura; its massive head is shrouded in black mist, making it look exceptionally sinister.

According to the information Lyon has gathered so far, it should be another thirteenth-tier dragon, but although it appears to be a dragon in its true form, it is actually a celestial star nature god.

Judging from its aura, its true form is most likely Hades, a true god who has just entered the thirteenth rank from Pluto.

'A lord of a forbidden zone, a peak 13th-tier cultivator, a newly entered 13th-tier cultivator, along with numerous 10th and 9th-tier dragons, and a small number of 11th-tier elites.'

'This strength is indeed formidable, enough to rival the Holy Land.'

'These alien gods and the dragon race seem to have a rather harmonious relationship. If the dragon race is all under the control of the Goddess of the End, then the alien gods themselves are another force controlled by the Goddess of the End?'
