Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

Born of resentment, one dies naturally with a sense of relief.

The body was constantly being dissolved, and the power was also dissipating.

[Soul damaged, 47% remaining sanity]

When Rhodes's soul body was down to 47%, the behemoth's body, under a negative attitude, had already turned into a ghostly image.

Empty, yet returning to its original state.

This battle was completely one-sided; it couldn't even be called a battle.

A mere six-times-upgraded [Demon God's Resentment] is nothing more than an enemy that can be easily annihilated by [Charlotte's] soul.

"It's over, the last time."

Rhodes clenched his fist a little tighter, channeling the last of his soul power into it.

At that moment, his soul began to collapse at an accelerated pace.

[Soul damaged, 42% remaining sanity]

[37% mental capacity remaining]

[Mental state remaining: 26%...]

The moment Rhode's soul body began to crack and emit a strange glow, it signified the final end of the battle.

The afterimages and consciousness of the behemoth gradually dissolved and dissipated in this world, eventually becoming particles and annihilating.

Nothing.

Yes, that monster has completely disappeared from this spiritual world.

All that remains in this world is the most beautiful sea of ​​flowers and a peaceful world.

A gentle breeze blew by, as if nothing had happened.

Rhodes exhaled slightly, the breath he had been holding in began to relax.

The battle is over, but it's not completely over yet.

"Headache."

Rhodes felt somewhat distressed at the sight of his soul in such a broken state, but he didn't have time to dwell on it.

The soul must be separated, Clara's... no, Charlotte's soul.

The moment the behemoth vanished, the strength of this world began to increase dramatically, and the aura of the goddess Charlotte also emerged.

This signifies that Clara's consciousness has officially shifted towards Charlotte's.

Rhodes also understood that he had to spit Charlotte out of his body immediately, or he would explode first.

"point……"

Can be sudden.

Before Rhode could even utter a word, or even use his power to sever Charlotte's soul, the entire world began to collapse!

The flowers on the earth were shattered, and the sun and clouds in the sky were all replaced by a vast, white spiritual world.

Rhodes felt a slight sense of unease as he experienced a loss of balance beneath his feet. With his soul already shattered, he couldn't afford to be tormented any further—

His eyes remained calm, and as he frowned, he heard a clear, crisp voice beside him:

"Brother, this is our first time meeting."

thump.

Rhodes blinked slightly and turned his head away.

At that very moment, the world stopped changing.

Everything was spread out in a white expanse, and standing beside Rhodes was only a girl filled with azure light.

The woman's body was slender, with a slim waist and an elegant back like a fish. She wore a thin blue silk dress, and her fair feet were exposed to the air.

At the same time, her eyes were also filled with divinity, with a shimmering light flashing across her pupils, inspiring awe in those who looked upon her.

This is a god... [the god who dwells in the deep sea].

The aura of the gods spread toward Rhodes, and he suddenly froze in his tracks.

She braced herself against her waist, pinched Rhodes' cheek, and a warm current instantly swept over Rhodes' body.

At this moment, Rhodes' shattered soul began to repair itself frantically, with the broken parts being directly reassembled.

“Who are you?” Rhodes asked softly.

“Clara.” Charlotte chuckled lightly. “Alright, Charlotte, the god you don’t know.”

"……Hello."

“There’s no need to be so reserved, brother. In the end, Clara, as the Primarch, is actually a part of myself.”

"Your way of addressing me is a bit disgusting. Just call me Rod."

"Are you going to bully me, brother?" Charlotte put on a pitiful, tea-like expression and said in a coquettish voice.

Damn it... as expected, there are no normal people among the gods.

But isn't that wrong?

As a deep-sea god, one of the oldest gods in the world, why is he so disgusting?

Rhodes remained silent, but in the end, he did not let his guard down.

After all, gods are skilled at disguise, a fact he knew all too well.

He couldn't be sure that Charlotte, who was currently being friendly to him, was truly an ally, nor could he be sure that Charlotte wasn't deliberately trying to annoy him.

"No, it's just that a very old person calls me 'brother' or something, which is really awkward."

“Hey, age is a taboo subject for girls. But I know why you’re wary.” Charlotte twitched her pink lips, revealing a comical, exaggerated expression. “But… I know even better why you saved me.”

"After all, your soul is intertwined and merged with mine. Do you think I wouldn't know that?"

It revealed the truth in a single sentence.

Rod paused for half a second, then could only respond helplessly:

"Too."

"I'll just tell you what you want to know in a simple and straightforward way first. As for the rest, we can talk about it when we get back to the real world."

Charlotte chuckled and twirled a strand of her blue hair, saying softly:

"First, once I return, I will ensure their safe return to the deep sea, so your academy is no longer in danger."

Secondly, you have successfully won me over. I promise that if the Linlank Empire encounters any trouble, I will do my best to help.

Third, I... do indeed retain my memories, that's all.

Rhodes' eyes narrowed.

"what do you mean?"

“Ah, that’s right.” Charlotte’s face returned to normal slightly, with a hint of seriousness. “My memories also inherited from my previous life. In other words, almost all twelve gods are reborn with their memories intact.”

"That's right, the Dragon God, too, has been resurrected."

Chapter 126 You should have quit long ago, Lilith

The truth has come to light.

When Charlotte revealed this fact, Rhodes froze for a moment, then fell silent.

His purple eyes fell into deep thought at this moment.

Although I had expected it, knowing the truth still put me under considerable pressure.

The fact that the Twelve Gods were also reborn with their memories was undoubtedly the worst piece of information for Rhodes.

All of this will turn from an advantage into a disadvantage.

Because the acquisition of intelligence was not fair, or rather, the enemy was much stronger than them in the early stages.

At this moment, Charlotte added:

“I have memories of things that had nothing to do with you in my past life, which is enough to confirm the fact that gods are reborn with memories.”

"At the same time, this also means that the current world situation has become the worst it could be. Are you afraid, Rhodes?"

When Charlotte gets serious, the teasing way she addresses him as "brother" disappears, replaced by a gentle and intellectual demeanor.

Leaning against the floating clouds, she looked up at this vast, white spiritual space, her inner thoughts never ceasing.

In Charlotte's eyes, avoiding war was her way of demonstrating "kindness," but she understood that if it was a world change like "rebirth," then she could no longer hide.

Both sides will try every means to kill the enemy in advance, and the former neutrals often become victims in the process.

Therefore, she had to step forward and make a statement early, and could not continue to hide in the sea like she did in her previous life.

Between Dragon God and Rhodes, anyone who isn't an idiot would understand that Rhodes is the only option.

Putting aside the personal connection of her merging with Clara's soul,

From a public perspective, the Dragon God's goal is essentially to encompass and absorb all divine positions, and to ensure that there are no enemies in the world who can defeat her.

In other words, Charlotte was essentially one of the people the Dragon God was meant to kill.

Of course, she couldn't be so foolish as to finish her job for someone else only to die right afterward.

"So-so... I wouldn't say I'm scared," Rhodes replied calmly.

At this moment, Charlotte was somewhat surprised. "Aren't you afraid?"

"It's just a hassle, since I'm afraid but there's nothing I can do about it," Rhodes said casually, his arms crossed.

“Haha, that’s true.” Charlotte’s lips curled into a slight smile. “But you don’t need to worry too much. Because at least we know that the Dragon God can’t target you and Lilith right now.”

"After all, the Dragon God is still digesting the [Star God] position, and she will need at least two months to complete her first evolution."

Therefore, it is safe for at least two months.

“I see.” Rhodes nodded in understanding.
