Chapter 461: The Goddess' husband
After witnessing Yasir's death, Alex felt the sudden strength increase, as though Yasir had filled the remaining levels he needed to face Blackburn Blade. But then, his vision spun, and he entered Purgatory with his soul.
He was in a castle, however. More precisely, Alex was in a throne room where he saw two thrones. One of the two was empty, while the other had the honor to hold the gorgeous woman.
Having known her from his father's talk and other stories, Alex knew that she was The Goddess, the existence that controlled the universe and schemed for her amusement from the warmth castle.
Her appearance was impossible to be described, perhaps because she matched every male's taste with her divine powers. She was too beautiful, in fact. However, Alex remained composed as though killing intent from just a few seconds ago still flared in his heart.
Perhaps, something else allowed him to stay composed before the divine existence.
"Your attempt to connect realms goes against my authority, my rules, and the punishment I've cast on the survivors," The Goddess said, her expression not changing, and her lips hadn't moved at all, her voice ringing from within Alex's soul.
He gazed at her, then replied like a human, his lips moving, "I feared that moment. The Goddess who governs over billions of lives surely won't care about the antagonists from my world and their past. Their leader betrayed them, even as a player, and he seemed to play 'games' more than you."
To those last words, The Goddess lifted her eyebrow, silently listening.
"They suffered a lot, and some had already been punished with eternal death… But my allies, antagonists, and guardians deserve to keep living," Alex said confidently, not blinking as he stared seriously at the Goddess.
She seemed to ask 'Why?' with her golden eyes.

"Not everything?" The Goddess asked; she lazily lifted her hand to support her little head on it, leaning to the side. She gazed at Alex with another change of expression, seemingly seeing someone else in him.
And as Alex replied, that was indeed the case.
"I can't leave my girls behind, so there is no way I will give you my life for theirs." Alex declared, ready to bargain with the Goddess.
But she hadn't replied yet. Instead, Alex seemed more similar to her husband than ever before. Even she, The Goddess, had the husband and had access to the divine plane beyond the universe.
Harems were also natural here.
Her stupid husband had a harem, too, and she was part of it. Her sister, The Fallen Goddess, was one of them. She thought she only deserved the husband, though. And in fact, she didn't know about others beyond the universe.
That was simply because The Goddess governed all while the other reveled in mortal desires, such as lust, pride, and others.
"Your purpose is to kill Blackburn Blade," The Goddess said.
"I will," Alex replied.
"What's next?" The Goddess asked again.

The Goddess closed her eyes, thinking similarly to Alex but just about her husband. Has he disappeared to guide some mortals, too? Was he in a divine plane to fetch more challenges and miracles to their Paradise?
She wondered, rooted to her throne while waiting for some company. And strangely, the idea of guidance lifted a significant part of The Goddess' loneliness. She was in a much better mood.
"I'll allow these two worlds to coexist."
No one other than her husband could easily lift her sour mood, yet the mortal had done it. Thus, he deserved better rewards than others. He also had a challenge ahead of himself, a tough challenge.
So there was nothing set in stone yet.
Only a minute passed on the battlefield.
Alex blinked, then looked around, confused to see his parents and other girls around him, standing like a tough wall to protect him mid-air.
"Have you paid the price?" Harvey asked urgently, scrutinizing his son, who surprisingly appeared intact. It was a pleasant surprise, of course.
Alex shook his head, "I won… I can keep two worlds intact."
Those words caused everyone to jump from shock, then warmth and happiness took hold of them. Remia burst into tears first, then some other girls followed her. They knew that Alex wouldn't lie to them, and they already saw a good future ahead; Blackburn Blade be damned in that unique moment.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Harvey smiled faintly while Lavinia was like Remia, crying from happiness.
"You will be grandpa, father," Alex grinned.
"Already am, though," Harvey grinned, too, his words making Stella and Sara smile wider, tears flooding their eyes. Alex also felt great since Harvey mentioned Ubo, too.
The happiness lasted for a long time, for the battlefield was heavily winning against the Light Church. It was clear that Alex would soon take control over them. And if not him, then Auberon and Divine Cats surely wouldn't waste the occasion.
"Let's go home," Alex chuckled, "We need a rest, then connect all realms. I will speak with everyone individually later."
Leaving bodies and loot to his friends from the alliance, Alex and his family left the scene. The chase after holy forces started then, and it was a highly rewarding activity as those priests somehow were good at running away.
They cleverly used their angels for that, too.
Alex found himself in his bed, alone. He gazed at the white ceiling, thinking about the future. He wasn't thinking about Blackburn Blade and sins. But what would happen after their battle with them?
He picked up his phone and searched for a certain topic. He naturally wanted to create a family, and as many people already had kids at age twenty, Alex didn't even feel like it was too early.
But as he searched about topics related to raising babies, his face sunk, "One by one, right…"
Would his girls be patient enough, though? Alex nervously smiled while he read more, starting odd research at a weird time.
