Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

The two people weren't touching; there seemed to be a natural line between them.

This was something Rod warned Felicity about when she was a child—

If you want to sleep together, you have to follow this rule, otherwise I won't let you sleep with me.

Felicity always remembered, always remembered, and so she continued to do so.

When she was little, she loved to stick close to Rhodes, after all, Rhodes was her only friend in the palace.

As an illegitimate child from an imperial family, and having only been found in the countryside at the age of seven, she faced discrimination from everyone, including adults and elders.

The only person who was kind to her was her older brother, who was always at war, but he was almost never in the palace.

Meanwhile, her father, Emperor Linlank the Great, was busy with affairs, so for Felicity, her childhood was filled with nothing but strange looks around her.

But one day, a monster appeared—

[Isn't that the heir to the Melanie Empire? Why would he come to our country... to steal knowledge, or...?]

[You don't know? That child isn't normal... He's mentally abnormal; even the Soul God's realm, which can "peep into minds," can't understand the thinking of their heir...]

The labels of "weird" and "special" were attached to the boy who was always holding a book, but in Felicity's eyes, these labels meant that he was one of her kind.

Therefore, Rhodes, the foreign future emperor who fell from the sky and showed her no discrimination, naturally became her spiritual leader.

Wherever he went, Felicity followed.

Even Emperor Linlank would always jokingly tease the two of them when they were young, saying, "You will definitely be happy in the future."

pity.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Everything is like a long corridor of time, becoming blurred as the story passes.

When did she stop being able to look at Rhodes?

It was from the moment she lost everything.

At that moment, she became incapable of caring about love, completely abandoning all her naivety and turning her back on hatred.

Is this what she was thinking...?

She also wanted to be like an ordinary girl, even if she was initially naive. But with the guidance of this male lover, she gradually matured.

It is not about being swept along by the tide and forced to progress, only to realize the truth in regret at the end.

Felicity's eyes unconsciously welled up with tears, but thankfully—

Because I was going to sleep, I closed my eyes tightly, so no one could see me.

Loneliness is always one's own...

And also.

Rod is right here beside me.

Once she understood this, her feelings of disappointment gradually subsided.

After all, the thought of Lilith sleeping alone in Rhodes' room while she could sleep with Rhodes filled her with excitement and satisfaction.

Is this considered adultery?

That's not right... After all, it belonged to her from the beginning.

Quietly, her fingers involuntarily crossed the line and gently poked Rod's waist.

"Hmm?" Rhodes had just closed his eyes when he was forced to open them again.

Are you asleep?

"No, how could I fall asleep in a minute?"

"It's been so long since we slept together, Luo." Felicity's words didn't contain the innocent and naive feelings of a young boy and girl sharing a blanket, but there was a hint of relief hidden in them.

"Ah...it wasn't that long ago, actually. A year ago during the academy's assessment, didn't we sleep together in a tent? Under the strange looks from those students."

Rod paused for a moment after saying this, then continued:

"But actually, it's true, our situation is really weird, isn't it? Or rather, you're the weirdest one. You have to understand, gender, um..."

"Okay, okay, stop trying to teach me. You're my only friend, so I don't care about those things."

“…” Rhodes remained silent.

Here we go again. Every time, Felicity interrupts his attempts to shape her "view of emotions" with this very sentence.

Because it is truly flawless.

Ugh……

Chapter 22 The Fusion of the [Seed of Destiny], Let's Prepare to Meet Her

The next morning—8:10 AM.

As powerful beings who have ascended to higher levels, their sleep is actually only used to restore the strength of their muscles and to replenish the [Divine Seed Source] they have consumed.

Therefore, Rod got up early and leaned against the edge of the bed.

After a night's rest, he will begin his third [God Seed] selection and evolve his skills.

He glanced at Felicity, who was lazily sleeping, and was not surprised that she had reached out her hand again.

But he only gently lifted it and put it back for her.

but.

He glanced at Felicity's face again.

Felicity looked as cute as a baby when she slept; she only made a couple of murmurs before falling still again.

Rhodes smiled, then began to sense the divine seed—

From the very beginning, Rhodes understood what the third god should choose.

Because if he were to obtain this divine seed, all his abilities would become extremely terrifying.

【God of Life and Spirit】—【God of Fate】, a healing deity in this world.

The girl who infiltrated last night, and the so-called "medical institute," has more than 90% of its inhabitants who possess this divine seed.

The authority of the term "healing" is self-evident.

In most games, the existence of healing abilities inevitably weakens damage output, because if you don't play this way, there will be no balance at all.

But it wasn't like that for Rhodes—

He can possess both the most brutal divine seed, the Dragon God Seed, and the most powerful healing divine seed, the Life God Seed.

Not to mention that the [Soul Seed] also comes with a mental pressure effect.

Therefore, both output and battery life are maximized.

When they challenged the Dragon God with human bodies, they relied on many powers, whether it was the power of their enemy Cecilia or ancient artifacts.

But Rod felt...

If he truly brings all the divine races under his control, then it wouldn't be "challenging gods with a human body," but rather "killing gods with a human body."

The goal is clear, therefore—

it has started.

"Come, Destiny Seed."

[Seed of Destiny]

As the decision was made, just as the Dragon God appeared, a dazzling emerald green light appeared in Rhodes' mind—

And the source within my mind began to change—

At this moment, in addition to the two, a third sphere of Rhodes Source appeared—a [turquoise] sphere.

You will fuse divine seeds to create entirely new skills.

[The current divine seed supply is saturated. Please upgrade to obtain more space.]

[The rest of the skills remain unchanged.]

[Gain a new skill——]

[Power of Life LV.1]: You have mastered the elemental power of life, which allows you to control plant growth and deal damage to enemies based on your equivalent [Constitution] value.

Each word fell.

A brand new panel came into Rhodes's view, and at that moment, a vibrant emerald green light flashed in his pupils—

And suddenly, a surge of power erupted from his body, accompanied by clanging and banging sounds. His muscles squeezed and expanded, radiating an undeniable pressure.

Swah——

Rod clenched his fist.

boom--!

The sound of an airflow explosion suddenly appeared.
