Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"Let brother give you one last kiss."

Mernadette looked at Charles hesitantly.

"Just for a moment?"

Charles nodded vigorously.

"Then... just for a moment..."

Mernadette closed her eyes and raised her head slightly.

Charles gently tapped her forehead, and facing her confused eyes, he said like a weasel, "This time, the kiss is not here?"

Mernadette was even more confused. If it wasn't here, then where else could it be?

Charles moved his hand slightly, and in an instant steam was coming out of Mernadette's head.

"Brother!" Melnadette shouted loudly and waved her fist angrily to hit Charles.

Charles did not dodge, but let out a series of screams while enduring Melnadette's light little fists.

Although she knew that Charles was pretending, after he called out a few times, Mernadette couldn't help but slow down her movements, and then gradually stopped.

Although she felt that she didn't use much force, what if... what if she really hurt her brother accidentally?

-

Chapter 237 Chapter 117 Teacher Alfu, you should be able to understand me, right?

"Is it really not possible?"

After Melnadette slowed down her strength, Charles asked while squinting at her.

Now, Mernade discovered that everything Charles did was fake.

So he got really angry and chased Charles from the corner with a wooden stick. It didn't take long before he kicked Charles out of the orphanage.

Charles looked at Melnadette's angry back with some regret, and then he couldn't help laughing.

At the beginning, he was indeed affected by the curse of greed, so he did some things that he shouldn't have done.

But all his actions after being awakened by Mernadette had basically nothing to do with the curse of greed.

The curse still has an effect on him, but the impact is basically small enough to be negligible.

The reason for making such a gesture was that Charles was trying it out.

His relationship with Mernade has reached a point where it cannot go any further in normal circumstances.

Breaking this boundary requires intervention from external forces.

This curse incident is a good opportunity.

Taking this opportunity, he easily broke through the previous boundaries and his relationship with Mernade developed in new ways.

Strangers, friends, siblings... lovers.

Just now, although she didn't say it explicitly, Charles already understood what Mernadette meant.

The reason why Charles "bullied" Mernadette for so long was not only out of his own bad taste, but more importantly because he was worried that Mernadette would deny some things later because of shyness.

So in order to completely live in her heart, Charles became so crazy.

"Teacher Alfor, you should be able to understand me." Charles said to himself with satisfaction.

“I was actually forced.”

"The power of that curse is so strong that even I would find it difficult to save the world without being affected."

“So it’s normal to be affected.”

"Under that circumstance, having a thought of disrespecting the goddess is not an unforgivable mistake."

"As for getting married...that's not my wish."

"It was the goddess who said yes, and I didn't refuse in order not to make her sad."

"All this is for the goddess."

Charles put on a pious look, and then rehearsed the way of speaking with the same meaning several times.

Finally he nodded with satisfaction.

"If Mr. Alford returns one day and discovers that I'm married to the goddess, using this as an excuse, he'll probably chop me down tens of thousands fewer times with his axe, right?"

"wrong!"

"Why did he cut me?"

"That doesn't make sense. I've been following the goddess' instructions. And my status will be completely different after I marry Mernadette. Even if Mr. Alfo is furious, he wouldn't let Mernadette lose me at such a young age!"

The more I thought about Ciel, the happier I felt.

This happy emotion could not be suppressed even after his real body returned to Rocks Manor. Sitting on the sofa, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Peroz, who had been paying attention to Charles, suddenly came to Charles' side, put one hand on the sofa, held his hand with the other, lowered his head and looked at everything about Charles very seriously.

Feeling the faint power of sunlight emerging in his body, Ciel's expression was somewhat subtle.

"Peroz...what are you doing..?" Charles, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Peroz, who was grabbing his hand with a serious expression on his face and had a strange expression on his face.

"Rocks, do you feel anything wrong with your body?" Peroz stared at Charles seriously.

"No." Charles said dishonestly.

After swallowing the curse, Ciel felt a bit indigestion, and some inexplicable thoughts kept popping up in his mind.

For example, when Peroz grabbed his hand and appeared in front of him in this ambiguous posture, Charles would have some random thoughts in his mind and comment on certain parts of her body - well, the curse cannot be blamed for this.

Even without the curse, when Peroz, in short sleeves, brought her... close to Ciel's eyes, his gaze and thoughts would still be drawn for a moment... just a moment, a very small moment~

After all, it's so firm, so big, and so white...it's easy to attract men's attention.

"Peroz, is there something wrong with Rocks?" Theresa asked Peroz with some concern.

"Don't you think he's a little strange today?" Peroz said.

Theresa blinked. It was true that Charles was acting strangely today.

However, thinking about the previous experience at the opera house and the strange collapse of Xingxing, and thinking about what Charles said about his strong strength, she was not so surprised.

"Especially after he got on the carriage, a strange smile would appear on his face every once in a while."

"How can I describe that smile? I've never seen it on Rocks' face before."

"It's a very embarrassing smile, like a pervert's."

"I'm worried that Rocks' mental state has been affected and someone is secretly attacking him."

Anything strange can happen in the extraordinary world.

Similar to Charles's performance just now, Peroz instantly screened out several extraordinary sequences in his mind that might have an impact on him.

The power of these extraordinary sequences has varying degrees of impact on people, but even the smallest damage is a problem for Ciel in Peroz's opinion.

"I didn't know what was going on with that smile before... but now I think I know the source of his smile. It has something to do with you~" Theresa first glanced at Charles, then looked at the postures of the two, and then observed Charles' occasional glances, and said with a slight twitch of her mouth.

"What?" Peroz looked at Theresa in confusion.

Theresa didn't say anything, but gave a hint with her eyes.

Peroz lowered his head in confusion and looked at the charm revealed in the loose T-shirt.

From Rocks's perspective...

Perozzi's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Locks!"

"I didn't see it!" Charles waved his hand quickly.

But after he finished speaking, the entire living room fell into a mysterious awkwardness.

Looking at Theresa who was laughing secretly with her head down, and Peroz who was so angry that his hair was about to explode, Charles couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

There is no silver here...

But, is this the goddess' blessing to me?

Suddenly, some nonsensical thoughts appeared in Charles's mind - Mernadette didn't let me see or kiss there because she was shy, but to make up for it, she specially blessed me...so there is such an embarrassing situation now?

Chapter 238: Creatures Existing in Greed

In the end, Charles was chased and beaten by Peroz for a long time, and Teresa also joined in in the middle.

Charles didn't resist much. In his opinion, fighting between men and women was always an interesting game.

He took a lot of advantage in the process. Even though he didn't resist much, after the fight, the two of them disappeared quickly from Charles' sight, hand in hand, with red faces.

"So, this kind of life isn't better than working hard to conquer the world and build an ideal country?" Charles sighed as he drank his tea and heard the voice echoing in his mind.

"This is the only time you can yell. Wait until I am promoted to Truth and then become my collection." Charles was confident that after he was promoted to Truth, the curses he had gathered on him this time and even the curses that had already spread into the world would be collected by him again.

At that time, with the help of the characteristics of truth and his own uniqueness, perhaps he can leverage the power of the world like the Five Gods and transform the curse itself into extraordinary characteristics or his own power.

Strength brings confidence, but sometimes the distance between confidence and arrogance is very close.

Like now.

Charles thought that the so-called curse was under his control. Although the final wails of those powerful supernatural creatures were strange, they were just minor problems to him and could not even affect his condition.

But in reality... Ciel was too confident.

After all, he was puzzled by those god-like extraordinary creatures that appeared at the beginning of the Five Gods Sect, or even before its birth.

Or maybe he didn't have a deep understanding of the Five Gods' strength - this was normal.

Charles had been a member of the church for decades and had seen Mernadette only a handful of times, let alone witnessed her strength.

The difference between Sequence 1 True Gods and Orthodox Gods was only briefly mentioned in occasional records within the church.

There is almost no record of the battle in the Holy Word Books and collections of the Church of the Earth, but there are many records of blessings.

For example, when Mernadère first came to the world, she blessed the entire planet with an endless supply of food, and anyone who felt hungry or thirsty at any time and at any place could obtain food and water.

This blessing only lasted a few months before being withdrawn for various reasons.

However, this is the only channel recorded in the Book of Holy Words that allows Charles to understand Mernadè's strength.

At the same time, there are also a few brief records about other righteous gods in the sacred books of other sects.

In the book, they are very powerful and almost omnipotent.

However, as his strength grew, the awe that once existed in Charles' heart slowly dissipated.

Perhaps it is a little difficult for him to do some of the things recorded in the Book of Holy Word at this moment, but what about after he goes a step further?

Therefore, Charles still respected the Five Gods in his heart, but he recognized their moral character more.

Strength... He believed that he would surpass them one day.

This is correct in theory, but it was Charles's negligence that this idea made him look down on the power of extraordinary creatures at the level of true gods.

A Sequence 1 level extraordinary creature is a very incredible existence.

Some beings can dream in a world of their own, some beings use the concept of time as their body. Even the best friend that Mernade cruelly killed seemed like mud, composed of countless spores and particles, but each particle and spore can actually be regarded as a "planet", a planet with life or even intelligent life.

The world is big, but the planet under his feet is too special, so it temporarily blinded Charles' eyes.

If he goes one step further, Charles will discover many things that he has not discovered before.

For example, the curse that falls has life, will and even its own soul!

It’s just that this kind of life, will and soul are different from humans who have infinite possibilities.

"He" is life, greed, and the curse itself to the human race.

Therefore, after being absorbed, "he" can exist in Charles' greed, and even use his power slightly by taking advantage of the greed that arises in Charles' heart - even if it is only a trace.

This power is very small.

Just like the "wind" created when walking, the "wind" of ordinary people can blow away the dust.
