I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Matilda immediately went up to Rezer, grabbed him by the collar at close range, and said through gritted teeth.

If someone is truly better than her, she will feel a competitive spirit.

If she can't compete with him, Matilda doesn't mind if he has other women, after all, Razer isn't human, but she'll gladly accept the position of the main wife.

"Are you trying to mess with me?!"

Razer, his collar being pulled, looked utterly devastated and desperate, and said to Matilda with a wry smile:

"Let me tell you the truth, there's a whole fleet of women who've been interested in me! I rejected them all because of my family, but if I set a precedent with you, they'd all go crazy!"

.......

"puff--"

Siegfried Kaslana, who was in Anti-Entropy, spat out the wine in her mouth upon seeing this scene.

With only one hand left, he quickly wiped it, his face showing a stunned expression at Lei Zhe's words.

Good heavens, is this store manager bragging or serious? You have a whole fleet of women who are interested in you?

In his youth, he often fantasized that beautiful women admired him because of his strength, and that they would develop feelings for each other; in reality, he was very innocent.

Now, seeing someone achieve such a feat as a harem protagonist, even his weathered face revealed admiration.

"Tsk tsk, so he was rejected because of his family background."

Touching his unshaven chin, Siegfried couldn't help but smile as he watched the video, indicating that he completely understood the situation.

Men should settle down when they get married.

However, if he were to be popular with women after getting married, Siegfried would probably feel pretty good.

But seeing Lei Zhe's terrified and trembling face in the video, I thought to myself, are all the women who like you so fierce? How could you be so afraid?

Let's get back to the video.

Matilda was completely stunned by Rez's exasperated and bewildered explanation.

Lei Zhe doesn't like toying with other people's feelings, but he's also not good at handling emotional matters.

And he was right. As the commander of his own ship girls, and with his mind network connected to theirs, Reiji was the one who knew best their emotional fluctuations towards him.

Now, with his ascension to godhood, his ship girls have all become top-tier deities combining technological and supernatural abilities.

Twenty percent of Lei Zhe's ship girls treat him with the same affection and attitude as family.

The majority of these two groups consist of elementary school students and some submarine ship girls.

As for the ship girls who have those feelings for each other, the remaining 80% are all different.

Some are introverted and embarrassed to express themselves, and because of Lei Zhe's family background, they can only keep their feelings to themselves and maintain a basic level of kinship.

Those with more straightforward personalities, such as Taihou and Ron, are also held back by Raiji's family background, but they still refuse to give up.

This wasn't the most troublesome and unsettling thing for Reiji. The real problem was the ship girls he had sworn an oath to when they were built, and who came out wearing wedding dresses. That was what left Reiji completely at a loss.

He, Xiaoyou, and Xiaosheng are in the reality of being husband and wife, but not in the name of being husband and wife.

However, with the Oath Ship Girl, they have the title of husband and wife but not the actual marriage.

Lei Zhe has never regretted making a vow to them in the game, but he can only suffer the frustration he brought upon himself.

If he were to start something like this with Matilda, Reiji felt he was about to face the most terrifying battleground of his life.

Involuntarily, Rai Zhe inexplicably thought of a scene where a large group of ship girls with magnificent mecha bodies, resembling the Crimson Lotus Lava of the Super Tengen Breakthrough, were engaged in a chaotic battle.

This made Rezé shudder in front of Matilda, and it also made Matilda, who felt that Rezé was lying to her, believe it.

After all, this was the first time she had ever seen Lei Zhe with such a terrified expression.

"Pfft... Hehe, hahahahahaha—"

After regaining her senses, Matilda couldn't help but clutch her stomach and burst into unrestrained laughter, laughing heartily and comically.

After all, Lei Zhe's appearance and expression no longer resembled that of a mysterious master; he looked more like a young man who was afraid of romantic entanglements with women.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?!"

Rezer rolled his eyes at Matilda speechlessly. He could tell that there was a mix of amusement and mockery in her laughter.

"Ha...shouldn't a man feel happy to be liked by so many women?"

Matilda wiped the tears from her eyes from laughing and asked curiously.

Shouldn't a man feel happy if he's popular with women?

Moreover, according to Lei Zhe, quite a few women are interested in him, which is an acknowledgment of his charm.

"Men who haven't found their other half should indeed be happy, but for me it's extremely agonizing. After all, I'm not some lecherous god like Zeus; I don't have many worldly desires that require me to find a woman to relieve my loneliness."

Rezhe shrugged, casually dissing a certain god-king known for his infatuation with seraphim, before speaking to Matilda in a tone of someone with experience:

"The premise of mutual liking and love is equality. This is my principle. I always think more about the women I care about, such as whether this or that might hurt them. Even if they show that they don't care or are humble, I have already made a conclusion in my heart about what I can and cannot do."

Xiao Sheng and Xiao You do have a possessive streak, but as Lei Zhe said, if he really wanted to have a harem, he might actually allow it, since their values ​​are not the same as humans'.

But ultimately, Lei Zhe couldn't get over his own conscience; he couldn't forgive himself for ignoring Xiao You and the others' thoughts and feelings.

He also said that treating others equally is the premise and foundation of his liking and love, and it is also his principle.

So why is it that Lei Zhe can ignore Xiao You and Xiao Sheng's unwavering devotion to him, while he himself is fickle?

Originally, Lei Zhe accepted his two wives, but he felt sorry for Xiao You and Xiao Sheng, so he felt that he absolutely could not go any further.

This is Lei Zhe's current thought. Perhaps things will change in the future, but that's just the future.

He wasn't timid about romantic relationships other than with Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng; he just felt that continuing down that path was wrong and that he couldn't do it.

If he really had to take that step, he hoped... it would be done only if he could still survive.

【Gap Witch】: Tsk tsk, I think I understand this shopkeeper now. I can only say that people with his personality deserve to suffer like this.

【Pink Fairy】: Oh my, treating women with this kind of principled attitude, being powerful without being condescending, it's hard not to make the opposite sex think too much.

[Blue Ribbon Goddess]: Hmph, if you're going to be a god, don't be like Zeus. Besides, this shopkeeper's remarks have stirred the hearts of many pure goddesses around us.

[Bishop of Destiny]: I think I understand the shopkeeper's predicament now. With his principles and his own characteristics, it's no wonder he attracts attention.

[Scumbag Fox]: Oh my, men who always care about your thoughts and put themselves in your shoes are a rare breed!

[Seele]: Hmm... If my future partner is this kind of person, it seems really good.

【Golden Fairy】: It’s really good. It’s rare to find someone with such principles and personality among men who are full of male chauvinism.

[Black Reader]: This shopkeeper is also Skadi's 'father,' so it's certain he's a non-human god. It's quite surprising that a god would have such pure-hearted thoughts and a personality.

【The Pure White Queen】: The mercury serpent who loves Mary with all her heart and soul may seem...perverted, but she also seems to suit the tastes of some women.

...........

After hearing Rezer's so-called principles and ideas, Matilda's gaze towards him became more meaningful.

Judging from what she said, even if Lei Zhe really had those kinds of thoughts about her, he wouldn't do anything out of line.

In a sense, Matilda was certain that Reiji, her mentor, was also a god.

Whether it's a god seeking the Way or a god of tyranny, it's extremely difficult to change their mindset.

But isn't that great? Matilda loves doing challenging things.

If Razor's principles and way of thinking prioritize her, Matilda, she would love and appreciate it very much.

Anyone would feel touched and comfortable if their partner treated them with this attitude and mindset.

Therefore, Matilda, who never envied anyone, couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy, but it was quickly burned away by her inner fire.

If Lei Zhe's principles didn't take precedence over her, then she would be busy with other things.

Moreover, she really wanted to meet Lei Zhe's other half and see what kind of woman the man she liked would do for her.

...........

After Razor admitted that he had talked with Matilda, she stopped trying to force him to go on dates and became quieter.

This gave Rezer a bad feeling, because he knew Matilda's personality very well.

It's worth noting that Matilda, a woman who is always so active, would quiet down; it must be for the sake of an even bigger and stronger outburst.

But he didn't know what Matilda wanted to do.

As for mind reading? Rezer wouldn't do that. Matilda is someone he can treat and respect as an equal. If he did that, his so-called principles would be a joke.

Although he didn't know what Matilda was planning to do in secret, Reiji still had to continue with his own business.

Ten years later, Rezer suddenly arrived in Cologne, Germany's fourth largest city, all by himself.

This is a major metropolis, second only to Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich.

The city is now filled with towering skyscrapers, a bustling commercial city, as well as a historical and cultural city and heavy industrial city on the banks of the Rhine River in western Germany.

Cologne Cathedral, this was Rezé's destination.

This is the largest Catholic cathedral in the city and a landmark of Cologne.

There were many people visiting the church, and many more with a religious air about them were walking into the church as if they were on a pilgrimage.

Once inside, you'll find the church to be magnificent, but dimly lit.

Many devout believers were also praying and kneeling in worship.

It seems quiet here, but that's not entirely true.

"Ahhhhh, how long are you going to stay here? My body is melting, I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Lei Zhe heard a voice filled with discomfort and annoyance, and with a look of interest, he saw a familiar face.

A handsome young man with short, white hair sat in a dark, shadowy spot in the church, looking utterly disgusted and distorted. He leaned back on a pew like a thug.

With that disgusting tone and uncomfortable expression, anyone who didn't know better would think this white-haired young man had come to hell.

In fact, the young man did feel like he was being dragged to hell by his girlfriend.

"William, be quiet. You promised to stay with me. Even if you hate it, please bear with it. That's the manners a gentleman should have."

Bathed in sunlight streaming through the church window, a delicate girl, resembling a bird, is quietly worshipping with her eyes closed.

She also had long, snow-white hair, and when she spoke to the young man in the shadows behind her, her slightly open eyes were a pale gold.
