You are all my wings...

Tagina's two previous bursts of energy seemed to be related to certain things Leon said, which also attracted a lot of attention.

As a seasoned con artist, Leon noticed a hint of apprehension hidden in Taginia's tone. This emotion was deeply concealed, and he only became aware of it after absorbing a larger amount of knowledge cloud when he reached the eighth level of the con artist class.

I wonder if the other goddesses noticed.

Incidentally, after advancing to the eighth rank of the Fraud Master, his attribute skills and class bonuses naturally also increase significantly.

In terms of skills, there's no need to mention them; they're basically the same old set, just with effects several times stronger.

Especially his Life Deception skill, because he had mainly absorbed this kind of knowledge cloud before, his skill improved by leaps and bounds. This is also closely related to the fact that he was able to suddenly possess such a rich and perfect life aura after using Life Deception.

In terms of attributes, since this is his first time advancing to the eighth rank, the benefits are extremely good. Not only has his divine energy increased for the first time, but his other attributes have also generally increased by 80 or 90 points or more, which is more than most eighth-rank increases. And this is his first time. There will be three more opportunities to advance to the eighth rank later.

In addition, this time there are three more major buffs compared to the previous upgrade (Ion Mode, Supercomputer Mode, and Wish Miracle Spell).

Both Ion Mode and Superbrain Mode originate from powerful goddesses (Mushina's peak 12th level, Terena's peak 14th level), and the talent enhancement they received was basically at full strength. Therefore, the enhancement from this upgrade is very strong. In addition, when Leon uses the Wish Miracle spell on himself during the upgrade, the absorption efficiency of the Knowledge Cloud is greatly improved.

Therefore, during his promotion, he also absorbed knowledge and combined it with his past knowledge, successfully transforming it into the secrets related to the fraudster profession. This was his biggest gain during this period.

There are spiritual mysteries related to [inquiry into the heart], [mindfulness], [discernment], and [recollection].

There are conceptual mysteries related to [resolving doubts], [qualitative change], and [deformation].

There are [life codes] and [organelles] related to life fraud.

In this way, he refined and elevated a portion of the knowledge he had accumulated in the past.

By this point, he had learned about forty miscellaneous secrets, which he could use to enhance his magic in actual combat, giving him a wide variety of methods.

He actually comprehended the most about the mysteries of the space-time system mixed with the elemental system. When he advanced, he had already formed a prototype of authority, which was stronger than most ninth-level authority prototypes, thus making up for his shortcomings in authority.

It was already quite extraordinary that he had mastered so many secrets at the very beginning of his journey to the eighth level.

However, considering that he completed the life deception he did after advancing to the next level, which further enhanced his physique and brought him to the level of 12, the number of secrets he mastered became somewhat lacking. After all, those above the level of 10 basically fight using authority and divine power, and he has not yet mastered any authority at the level of 10.

As for the effects of life deception, they are mainly reflected in the increase of physical resistance and strength and agility.

Because he referenced some of the perfect life research knowledge he had previously acquired from Therena, he successfully tricked more perfect life origins and life codes of rare divine species into his own body.

Thanks to this, his strength, physique, and agility attributes naturally increased again after he completed his physical transformation.

【主要屬性：窺命力364/神聖能量容納量326/精神力1139/生命力716/魔力量1328/體力1125/力量1033/敏捷1149】

Divine Energy Capacity +34, Spiritual Power +112, Vitality +88, Magic Power +109, Stamina +288, Strength +291, Agility +303

This is his total growth this time.

The average growth rate for advancing eight levels is 80 to 90 points.

The increase of two or three hundred points in strength, physique, and agility is naturally due to the effect of Perfect Life Deception, which invested over a hundred points of Concept Essence, leaving him with only a dozen or so of Concept Essence.

Theoretically, a level 12 character's Strength, Constitution, and Agility should have an average of over 1,000 points. Based on Astalia and M'shiruna's data, it should generally be around 2,000 points.

But Leon's situation is naturally different. His physical resistance has reached the twelfth level standard, and he can increase it to around two thousand points in strength, physique and agility, or even higher, through continuous training and supplementing his diet. However, these are the only attributes he currently possesses.

This is a consequence of being young and lacking long-term experience.

Fortunately, he has multiple modes of support and also feels that there is a strange law of nature protecting him, so it is entirely possible for him to exert several times the effect of his attributes in actual combat.

These panel messages flashed through Lyon's mind as he focused his gaze on Taginia.

Next, he planned to use some of what they said as material to deceive them in return.

After the con artist reaches level eight, his professional boost increases significantly, making him more adept at identifying lies, which gives him the confidence to con these top goddesses.

“Lyon Belron, I first met you in the early Eden period.”

She said in a low voice:

"At that time, the world had just undergone a reboot, and all the powerful beings were lying in wait, waiting for the world to stabilize. Because the world was in chaos, everyone except Jormungandr would suffer a severe decline in strength. But I think you all know that I am the only one among the Lords of the Forbidden Zone who has a connection with the outside world and is not a nature god born normally."

At this moment, Terena recalled the life essence she had collected from Tagina after her sexual encounter with Leon, and said thoughtfully, "So your era recovered very early? Because a part of your life essence originated from outside the world, you were less affected by the chaos of the world?"

"That's right."

Tagina said, "And the first person I saw when I was resurrected was you, Lyon, you bastard."

Camille, who was listening in: "?"

She sensed that her mother's tone had suddenly become strange.

Chapter 553 The Story of Tagina

“Interesting. I said you were a bit strange in the early Eden Era. So that’s what happened.”

Yemeng Jialuo's dark eyes sparkled with gossip.

"Then why is he a bastard?"

Terena squinted at Taginia.

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything clearly one by one."

Tagina turned to look at Leon: "I know you are not the same person I met in the early Eden Era. You are still far from being as powerful as you were at that stage."

Lyon then said, "So, you want to take revenge on me?"

"You see me that way? That's a real shame."

Tagina smiled and said, "But don't worry, I just want to collect a debt from you."

"Tagnia, enough with the small talk, get to the point."

Terena asked, "For example, where did you meet Leon?"

Tagina smiled slightly: "That is naturally outside the world. As for the specific location, I cannot reveal it, lest you trace back to the corresponding time and place and disturb me."

The greatest weakness of the Lords of the Forbidden Zones during the Genesis Era was that the Forbidden Zones were located in fixed positions, making it easy for their movement to be restricted.

In particular, if three or four lords of the forbidden zone join forces to attack, the risk of falling will increase significantly.

Therefore, having experienced the meteor shower of the Genesis Era, their first action after their resurrection was to hide their core authority as much as possible and make their existence as concealed as possible to prevent others from finding their true form.

As for the forbidden zones, although they are their source of power, by now, most of the forbidden zone lords have found ways to weaken the restrictions of the forbidden zones.

Lyon didn't realize this at first, but now, considering the situation of the other lords of the forbidden zone and Taginia's recent remarks, he understood it.

It doesn't matter if you don't say anything.

Terena reached out and grabbed Leon's shoulder, saying calmly, "Anyway, I've already gotten what I wanted."

Tagina glanced at Terena, thinking that Terena had indeed changed a bit after meeting Leon, and her emotions were more outwardly expressed.

That gesture just now was clearly a protest that the old Terena would never have made.

Tsk, it really is the nourishment of love.

Camille glanced at Tagina, thinking that her mother had started acting strangely after seeing the silver-haired boy. She used to be so decisive, strong, and efficient, but now she had become so indecisive and hadn't gotten to the point yet.

Tsk, so I was indeed influenced by that silver-haired pretty boy. Luckily, I have a strong enough will in this matter.

Tagina then continued:

"Although I cannot say the exact location, I can assure you that I did encounter Leon Belron outside of this world. At that time, I had just been resurrected and was hiding on the surface of a misty planet outside of this world, waiting to regain my rank."

“As you know, I feed on the power of the stars, which greatly accelerates my recovery. Therefore, at a fixed time every day, I fly out of the planet and wander in the void, seeking more refined and concentrated power of the stars to speed up my recovery.”

"And one day, I saw a shooting star flash across the surface of the Auster Continent from afar, and then I saw a semi-ethereal and frozen body being thrown towards me at the speed of light. It quickly reached my vicinity and I intercepted it."

Upon hearing this, Terena exclaimed in surprise, "So that half-ethereal, half-frozen body was Leon?"

"That's right, and at that time, he was extremely close to death, with only a breath left."

Taginia said:

"Because his condition was very strange and his aura was special, he had shown a more powerful and perfect life aura than Leon Belron is now, which aroused my interest and made me consider whether to save him. So I dived into the surface of his soul and talked to him while he was in a deep coma."

Lyon noticed a very subtle change in 'Cheng Erheli's' expression at this moment, which seemed to be an alternation between two contradictory thoughts: 'So that's how it is' and 'How could this be?' It was very subtle, and he couldn't tell whether he had made a mistake this time.

As for Taginia's statement that she would be close to death in the early Eden era, he could only keep it in mind to prevent any possible accidents in the future.

"I asked him who he was and how he managed to escape from the chaotic world of Auster when the world had just restarted. Do you know what his answer was?"

As Tagina said this, a bright smile appeared on her lips, revealing a hint of pleasure.

Camille was startled. Her mother's expression seemed no different from that of a pure-hearted girl in love.

Is this still the mother I know?

That powerful, authoritative, noble, and dignified aura melted away completely at this moment!

Terenas suddenly found Taginia's expression somewhat annoying and huffed, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me!"

Taginia then said, "He said, 'After crossing countless times, I have finally seen you again. From today onwards, be my wife, Taginia.'"

The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Then, all the goddesses turned their gazes toward Leon, including Therena, who was standing right next to him.

The men's gazes were all somewhat strange, so strange that Leon felt uneasy.

Terena glanced at Lyon and said, "You're such a womanizer. Just minutes ago you were telling me you wanted me to be your wife. Now you're saying almost the same thing to someone else."

Yemeng Jialuo exclaimed "Wow!" and then laughed, "Are all the young people these days so bold? That's good. As long as you're talented, I don't dislike this kind of behavior."

"Then, continue, Taginia," said calmly.

Leon was about to say that perhaps this was a story Tagina had made up?

But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Because here is both the goddess of the end, Yemengalo, and a mysterious figure who is suspected to be on par with Yemengalo, 'Chengerheli'.

Taginia's main focus was on physicality and related fields such as space and phases, which had little to do with spirituality. Logically, it would have been difficult for her to deceive those two powerful beings.

Taginia continued, "Unfortunately, after he said these words to me, before I could respond, he died right before my eyes, his soul dissipating."

Hearing this, Terena frowned: "You're lying! According to my judgment, Lyon still has many traces of activity after the early Eden Era."

Leon frowned, never expecting that his fate would be sealed so easily.

Is it yourself from another timeline?

Or is it something that is bound to happen?

"Don't worry, there's more to come."

Tagina smiled. "Although his soul dissipated, he didn't truly die. He anchored a powerful spacetime anchor in the Abyss of Spirituality beforehand. The function of this spacetime anchor is simple: at the moment the soul dissipates, it immediately reverses spiritual spacetime, thereby returning the soul to its peak state. However, his magic is based on the spacetime laws within this world. Outside of this world, the effectiveness of his magic is greatly reduced. In addition, his soul is very 'heavy,' so the soul reversal was unsuccessful, and some accidents occurred. Therefore, I cast a spell to interfere with his magic."

Terena asked repeatedly, "And then what happened?"

"As a result, I naturally saved him, but because of that accident, most of his memory was swallowed up by the abyss of the spirit. He only remembered proposing to me and some simple common sense."

Taginia said:

"Considering his perfect physique and the fact that his background really intrigued me, I kept him by my side to observe his condition carefully."

“You had just recovered at the time, so you could probably only exert the strength of the tenth level at most. In addition, there was a dangerous and complex environment outside the world. It’s hard to imagine that you would bring someone of unknown origin with you. After all, Leon already has the physique of the twelfth level. According to you, he was much stronger when you met him, wasn’t he?”

Terena looked suspicious: "So, I think that wasn't the first time you met Lyon, and you're hiding something."

Tagina looked to the side: "Your Majesty, you possess the [Eye of All Transformations and Endless Realities], did you see me lying?"

Yemeng Jialu blinked her dark eyes, which were as bright as stars, and said, "I haven't seen you lie yet, but you're not weak either. If you really want to hide something, I might not be able to see through it."

"But at least I didn't lie, did I?"

Taginia countered with a question.

“Go on, Tagini. My time here is limited, so don’t try to stall me.”

'Cheng Erhe Li' opened his mouth.

Clearly, everyone else tacitly knew that 'Cheng Erhe Li' likely had a time limit for its arrival.

After all, although Cheng Erheli's body is strong, it is only at the twelfth level, which is far from being on par with Yemeng Jialuo, or at least slightly better.

Tagina then looked at Terena: "To answer your previous question, since Leon was so physically strong back then, wouldn't it have been dangerous for me to keep him by my side? But you're overthinking it. Because he had lost too much of his memory, he didn't show much danger. Besides, since I had just recovered and wasn't very strong at the time, wouldn't it have been a good deal to have him as a strong and obedient bodyguard?"

Terena did not speak.

Taginia was quite satisfied with Terena's reaction and laughed: "Terena, your so-called fiancé has actually been kept by my side and trained by me for a long time. Aren't you very unhappy?"

Veins bulged on Terena's fair and smooth forehead.
