Laclan grabbed the Absolute Deity’s jaw and pulled it close.
“Because it takes an overwhelming amount of time to make you, the Absolute Deity, human.”
“N-no, no.”
Laclan raised his hand.
“Implore the cosmic energy to prevent the Absolute Deity from interfering in this world anymore.”
White light poured down from the sky.
“With the power of the original god, I am now Graeme.”
The light poured down brilliantly over the woman who had called herself the Absolute Deity.
“I wish to become human.”
As Laclan finished speaking, Graeme trembled as if struck by lightning and collapsed onto the ground.
Laclan closed his eyes.
Under his closed eyelids, the eyeballs trembled as if struggling.
Even with the power to mimic any ability he could follow, it was challenging to perfectly imitate the Absolute Deity now with the newly restored power of a god.
“L-Laclan.”
Now, there was not a trace of strength left to even lift a hand.
Near the Absolute Deity, a staggering sound approached Lawrence, who had knelt down to avoid falling next to her.
“Ha…”
Another connection that had endured a long life was approaching him.
“Laclan, have you really become a god again?”
Lawrence called out to him with a trembling voice.
In her hands, stained with Dipper’s blood, there was a knife.
In this moment where all time had stopped, only Lawrence was moving, perhaps because Dipper’s energy had flowed into her.
Or maybe it was because the Absolute Deity had just given her a mission.
Regardless, it didn’t matter now.
What was fortunate was that Vercheria was in a safe place.
Even if there was a slight deviation in Laclan’s plan, Vercheria’s life could not be guaranteed.
He did not know the limits of the power possessed by the Absolute Deity, and in the current situation, a slight mistake could lead to the destruction of humanity.
It was not an exaggeration.
The Absolute Deity, unable to control her anger, could do anything, and Laclan himself did not know what she might do.
“Laclan. Was the word you said to me because of this?”
Lawrence’s trembling voice flowed out louder than usual.
“Is it because if a human sleeps with a god, a human can kill a god? Is that why you asked me to kill you?”
Laclan laughed weakly.
He had given Lawrence a hint, perhaps in case he failed to turn the Absolute Deity into a human.
Knowing that if Lawrence had malice, she wouldn’t miss the opportunity to stab the Absolute Deity.
But the plan was successful, and the blade turned toward Laclan.
“Yes. You told me to kill you.”
Laclan straightened up and looked at Lawrence with narrow eyes.
Kneeling down, their eye levels were similar.
If Lawrence came to kill him, it would be an opportunity for Laclan.
An opportunity to make the last existence that tormented Vercheria disappear.
And a chance to be reborn.
Perhaps in the next life, he would meet Vercheria again, preserving all memories.
Then, in a world where we meet at first sight and fall in love.
I will recognize you at first sight and be prepared to be called a madman, following you.
Uttering such ridiculous words like I couldn’t take my eyes off you because you’re so beautiful.
Although you will see me for the first time, you will feel a strange premonition as if you’ve seen me for a very long time.
You will try to gauge my reaction, blushing and uttering obvious lies, like having a husband at home or that overcoming our social difference would be difficult even if there is no husband.
But we will already have faces in love.
Because we know how much we have been waiting for each other.
“Vercheria.”
At the low murmur of Laclan’s voice, Lawrence’s face contorted.
“That damn Vercheria! Vercheria!”
Suddenly, Lawrence rushed forward with a fierce look on her face, brandishing a knife.
“I’m tired. It’s so annoying! Even if I buy a newborn baby and lock it in the tower, abusing and tormenting it every day, this guy won’t be released! Understand?”
Her appearance, with blood scattered here and there, and her insane face, was eerie.
“Why can’t I have Laclan? Even though I love you like this? Why do I keep becoming the wife of a stupid emperor!”
Lawrence grabbed Laclan by the collar and shouted wildly.
“I’m going to be the wife of the most handsome man in the world. That’s my dream! Why should something so great prevent me from even being close once!”
In her crazed voice, Laclan merely twisted his lips into a smirk.
“That’s not how love works.”
“What?”
Laclan looked at the defiant Lawrence with calm eyes.
“That’s not how love starts, Lawrence.”
Although the last face she wanted to see was not Lawrence but Vercheria, even just tidying up the entangled fate with the Absolute Deity and Lawrence in this life was well worth it.
“Kill me.”
Laclan offered his strong neck, his veins bulging as he relaxed his entire body.
Since the contract holder, the Absolute Deity, had disappeared, Lawrence wouldn’t be able to be reborn again after this life.
“It’s over.”
As Laclan closed his eyes, Lawrence, unable to overcome her anger, raised the knife.
And at that moment.
The ground with the embedded portal began to shake suddenly, as if an earthquake had occurred.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
