You are all my wings...

Unexpectedly, Terena seemed to be going along with it.

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

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

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I am very pleased."

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

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

Based on my previous interactions, I don't think she'll 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 Leon's thoughts.

"To be honest, Your Excellency, I only wished to express my feelings, but I did not expect that Your Excellency would 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 sufficient equality.

Equality, on the other hand, 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 didn't think 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 Tagina next. Don't leave my side."

Lyon's heart stirred slightly, and he keenly realized a crucial 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 Leon 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 lightly taken flight and landed on his shoulder with her petite body.

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

Immediately, a tremendous force surged up from nowhere, carrying him and Terena away from the circle of the sacred tree.

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

Lyon replied, "Understood."

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

"Obligation?"

"It's...it's what you and I were doing all the time these past few days!"

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

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

Lyon then said, "Your Excellency, am I not 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 have proposed 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 are no longer useful in the experiment, I will still reward you more."

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

By this time, Leon had vaguely figured out Terena's mindset.

Just like when I was at level three and with Helvie, because of the huge gap in strength between us at that time, Helvie remained proud until the very end and never compromised with me in any way.

Therena is in the same situation right now. Her strength and the habits she has developed over the years have determined that she wants to make Therena more gentle and to make her show more gentleness in this relationship. She probably still has a lot of work to do.

To make them behave like Hamra, Elizabeth, Macchiato, and Baishaqilai, who would start a fight within 3 seconds of meeting you, you either need to have a high enough level of affection for them to cross your bottom line.

Or there is an extremely opportune moment (such as during the time in Sexual Abuse).

Either their existence is something that cannot be ignored, and there is enough equality, then it is easier to level the playing field in terms of attitude.

The goddesses who have already been with them, such as M'shiruna and Shitikos, are in the same situation. They still have their own pride and will not easily become addicted to sex and intimacy with themselves.

During the critical stage of life and death, when she was having sex with Castigia, Moripert, and others, the difference in their strength was not significant, so they were actually more uninhibited and more likely to become addicted to that kind of intimate relationship.

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

Next is Cheng Erheli, ten thousand years later. After kidnapping Lyon and arriving on the New Auster Continent, she teased and entangled him several times, only missing the final step.

As she 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. A magnificent divine power emanated from her body, easily blocking the dragon horde.

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

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

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 increased by 2%, current affection level 108%]

Aenemi murmured, "But why don't I feel any magical fluctuations?"

Kastiga's expression turned serious:

“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 it is indeed his own magic, 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, Aenemi was startled:

"Could it be that Lord Lyon is a once-in-a-millennium twelfth-order saint? If so, no wonder I always thought his strength only looked like it was at the seventh level. It turns out that the gap between us was too big, and I couldn't see his true strength."

[Because of the magic you fabricated, many high-ranking goddesses firmly believed in it, and you successfully sublimated the miracle spell into a wish-granting miracle spell.]

[Due to accumulated fraudulent activities, you have triggered the advanced enlightenment of becoming a fraud master.]

Chapter 545 Dialogue

Camille looked at Theraina, who had suddenly appeared, and Leon, who was sitting on her shoulders.

She was dressed in a short feathered robe that exposed her skin, back, and belly, her long, bright red hair fluttering in the wind, and her colorful dragon horns shining on her head, standing in the shadows directly in front of the dragon herd.

She spoke up, "Lady Therena, didn't we agree before that we wouldn't 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:

"Your Excellency need not seek answers from your mother; you may speak with me."

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

Camille frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this time, our forces have been almost entirely mobilized, and we are determined to win!"

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

Camille said, "If Your Excellency does not wish to step aside, then we will 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 are still unable to exert your power. In terms of overall strength, we still have the advantage!"

Camille said sternly:

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Your Majesty, that if you hadn't cleared the curse from the Sacred Tree beforehand, we wouldn't have launched our attack suddenly. After all, once the Sacred Tree recovers, we will no longer have the opportunity to wage war against the Holy Land."

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

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

Camille said.

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

Leon knew that Therena wanted Taginia to appear in this world to prevent her from using any additional means outside of it.

For example, while seemingly conversing with Terena, they are actually establishing another entrance outside this world to take the opportunity to attack the Holy Land.

Only if all of Tagonia's are present in this world can Terenas feel comfortable talking to them.

"Since most of Mother's body has already appeared in this world, why should Your Majesty waste Mother's power to descend in full?"

Camille smiled, but her tone remained unyielding.

Hearing this, Lyon felt a little puzzled.

Camille has not shown any extra emotional fluctuations so far. 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 in the situation that I haven't noticed.

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

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 level thirteen is undoubtedly at its peak in this life. Her height is no different from her future self, around 1.85 meters, slightly shorter than Lyon.

She has a tall and slender figure, with fair and radiant skin, and exudes a powerful aura, possessing a wild and masculine charm that naturally arises from a certain level of physical prowess.

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

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

She was also of a very high seniority, being the first dragon blood successor created by Taginia early in the Genesis era using the vast amounts of dragon blood and creation magic from the meteorite fall.

Although she was not conceived and born by Taginia herself, she still possesses extremely high endowments. She is considered a semi-divine species, having experienced multiple era restarts. Currently, she has the strength of the peak thirteenth level and is hailed as one of the goddesses closest to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone in this era.

As for the other thirteen 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 in this era and whose power and body were taken away by an alien god, was also a celestial god.

He is the nature god of Saturn, with peak 12th-level strength. Although his rank has not yet reached 13th-level, his body is one of the largest among celestial bodies, and his strength is extremely high. Therefore, he is also a top-tier powerful figure in this era.

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

'Huh, how come there's another thirteenth floor hidden over there?'

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

This is another object that needs special 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, emitting 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 supernatural aura; its thick head is shrouded in black mist, making it look exceptionally sinister.

According to the information Leon has so far, it should be another thirteenth-rank dragon, but although it appears to be a dragon, it is actually a celestial nature god.

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

'One Lord of the Forbidden Zone, one Peak Thirteenth Stage cultivator, one Newcomer to the Thirteenth Stage, along with numerous Tenth and Ninth Stage dragons, and a small number of Eleventh Stage elites.'

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

'These alien gods and the dragon forces seem to get along quite well. If the dragons are all under the control of the Goddess of the End, then are these alien gods another force controlled by the Goddess of the End?'
