Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1204: Nan Lixiang Joins

The Temple of Heaven, this magnificent building standing above the clouds, seems like the brightest pearl between heaven and earth, emitting a breathtaking brilliance.

The structure is so exquisite and the decoration is so luxurious that even the knowledgeable Minami Rika feels that her imagination is so pale and powerless at this moment.

The golden glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, and each piece seems to contain endless divine power; the walls of the palace are carved from white jade, vivid and mysterious; and those jade pillars towering into the sky are inlaid with all kinds of gems. Whenever the breeze blows, they make clear and pleasant sounds, like the sound of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Stepping into this sacred area, Minami Rika felt extremely complicated.

She had imagined what the Heavenly Palace would look like countless times in her dreams, but she had never expected that the real Heavenly Palace Temple would be far more shocking than her dreams.

She was very careful with every step she took, fearing that her vulgar behavior would defile this sacred place. The air was filled with a faint fragrance, a unique fragrance from heaven that lifted people's spirits.

Just as Minami Rika was immersed in her wonderment at the Tiangong Temple, her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of an unusual figure - Luther.

This being, who is hailed as the God on earth, was standing quietly not far away, with a faint halo surrounding him, making him look even more otherworldly.

Unlike what Minami Rika had imagined, Luther was not wearing gorgeous clothes without any unnecessary decorations, but he had an indescribable majesty and nobility.

Luther stood there like an insurmountable mountain. His every movement and every breath seemed to resonate with the heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

It was a power that transcended the material level, a presence that Minami Rika had never felt before.

She held her breath involuntarily, fearing that any sound she made would disturb the tranquility.

"Master, I have brought her here."

Busujima Saeko's voice sounded at the right time, breaking the shock in Minami Rika's heart.

After hearing what Busujima Saeko said, Minami Rika realized that she was being watched by two extraordinary people.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she felt nervous.

She tried to keep herself calm, and according to etiquette, she respectfully saluted Luther and said, "I have met the God on earth."

Luther smiled slightly, and that smile was warm and gentle, as if it could dispel all the haze in people's hearts.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you."

"But if you become my maid, then everything you have will belong to me. Have you thought about it? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you go back down the stairs now."

Although Luther's words were gentle, their weight should not be underestimated.

Minami Rika struggled in her heart for a while, but soon made up her mind.

It was a great honor for her to be able to follow Busujima Saeko here, and it was also a choice she made after careful consideration.

In this troubled world, becoming a maid of the God on earth undoubtedly means gaining unprecedented protection and security.

Minami Rika still feels frightened when she recalls the thrilling scene she encountered not long ago.

Therefore, when Luther asked her to become a maid, Minami Rika did not hesitate at all.

"Owner."

She responded respectfully.

Luther nodded with satisfaction, then stretched out his hand and motioned Nan Lixiang to come closer.

"come over."

Minami Rika obediently walked in front of Luther, her heartbeat quickened again, but this time, it was out of excitement and anticipation. Luther looked at the wheat-skinned beauty in front of him, worthy of being a character in High School of the Dead, one of the Infinite Novice Villages, each of them had such a mature and sexy figure.

Especially Minami Rika, Marikawa Shizuka and Busujima Saeko, who are famous female characters in the series.

In comparison, Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya are much less popular, and Luther didn't even think about looking for them.

Miyamoto Rei is too much of a bitch, and as for Takagi Saya, she’s so tsundere and has such a bad figure that even Luther doesn’t like her.

"Well, I don't like this skin."

Luther's words were like a sudden cold wind in winter, which not only blew away the thoughts in Minami Rika's heart, but also threw a huge stone into her calm lake, causing ripples.

There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, followed by deep worry and uneasiness.

In this world where the strong make the rules, any slight difference may become the key to determining fate.

Could it be that my wheat-colored skin, which might be considered healthy and full of vitality in the eyes of ordinary people, has become an unacceptable flaw in the eyes of Luther, the god of the world?

Minami Rika's heartbeat quickened, and countless possible consequences flashed through her mind.

She imagined being banished, ignored, or worse, each of which was enough to make her heart sink.

However, Luther's next words were like a ray of warm sunshine that penetrated the clouds and dispelled the haze in her heart.

"Saeko, you, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and Kasumigaoka Utaha will teach her how to cultivate her spiritual power."

Luther said this without any emotion, as if he was arranging a daily training plan rather than discussing the future of a life.

After hearing this, Busujima Saeko just nodded slightly, her deep eyes flashing with absolute obedience and respect for Luther.

"Yes, Master."

Nan Lixiang stood there in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.

She originally thought that the dialogue with the God of the World would be a long and difficult negotiation, and would even require her to pay a higher price in exchange for recognition.

However, everything was so simple, so simple that she could hardly believe it.

She looked at Busujima Saeko, who was looking back at her with a gentle, encouraging look that seemed to say, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Don't be nervous, the master is very easy to talk to."

Seeing that Minami Rika's expression gradually relaxed, Busujima Saeko raised a gentle smile and comforted her softly.

Nan Lixiang shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her bitter smile.

"Really? But this is our first time meeting. Even if he's easy to talk to, I can't completely relax. After all, my fate is in his hands now."

Her words reflected both fear of the unknown and expectations for the future.

She knew that from this moment on, everything she had belonged to Luther.

In this new world full of demons and monsters and chaos and disorder, being able to find a powerful shelter and become a maid of God is the best choice for her after countless deductions in her mind.

Personal freedom seems so small and insignificant in this world.

Compared to survival and protecting important people, Minami Rika is more willing to sacrifice the illusory freedom.
