I let the genie out of the bottle

but--

"Human, do you still want to continue sparring?" Just as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Athena, who had returned to her tall and slender form, with a big smile on her face.

This disobedient god, who has been experiencing a series of misfortunes recently, seems to have begun to find joy in hardship.

For example, when fighting Lu Ye, because Lu Ye didn't know how to use many techniques in order to hone his skills, she was able to dominate him.

For Athena, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to vent her anger.

Sensing this, the warmth in Lu Ye's smile cooled slightly.

"Oh? You're very brave!"

"Come on, let me see if your spell power has recovered normally."

Chapter 89 First, let's tie you up.

"Waaaaah~ No!"

"My precious possession—"

"It's been taken away..."

Athena, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now felt weak and limp on the ground because of Lu Ye's merciless and cruel treatment of her.

Her delicate face was somewhat blank, her gaze vacant, and her pale pink lips were slightly parted, seemingly weak.

Due to the lack of magical power within her, she once again transformed into her juvenile form.

When Lu Ye absorbs the power from the body of a disobedient god or a god-slayer, he absorbs it from its essence—therefore, after being absorbed, his upper limit is also reduced.

Therefore, the recovery speed is naturally not as fast as the recovery speed after the incantation power is consumed.

Since defeating Tony last time, he has been keeping a close eye on the recovery of Tony's power.

Based on the recovery speed of Tony's power after it was absorbed, even after half a month, he could only recover one-third of it.

In other words, getting a reply is quite difficult.

However, Athena, as the Earth Mother Goddess, seems to have a special way of restoring herself, able to recover her power through the earth.

In less than a week, the power within her body recovered to half of its original state.

In other words, Athena, the Earth Mother Goddess, recovers at a rate approximately three times faster than a normal god-slayer. This calculation does not take into account the fact that the power within the body of an unruly god is greater than that of a god-slayer.

Lu Ye was naturally in a great mood to have taken away all the results of Athena's hard work in restoring her health over such a long period of time and turned them into his own power.

Seeing Athena's tearful expression made him even happier.

"Come on, don't cry." Seeing Athena's slightly red eyes, Lu Ye gently comforted her.

Then, he bent down, grabbed her small hand with one hand, and supported her waist with the other, helping her up from the ground.

He also patted her bottom to remove the dust from her skirt.

"I didn't cry!" the loli goddess said through gritted teeth.

Although she almost burst into tears when she felt her hard-earned magical power being absorbed directly, she still felt it.

But who is Athena?

Don't be fooled by her current appearance of being bullied by everyone.

That's the fiery older sister from Greek mythology who punched Ares, kicked Aphrodite, and could lift the entire island of Sicily to smash people!

Almost everyone who offends her gets retaliated against.

It's impossible to get her to show any weakness.

"Yes, I understand. You didn't cry." Lu Ye had a satisfied smile on his face.

Athena's own power recovery efficiency is comparable to that of at least six Godslayers!

Keep in mind that the total number of god-slayers in this world is only six!

"Damn bastard!" Athena cursed inwardly upon seeing Lu Ye's smile and angrily shoved him away.

I'm going back to my room to rest!

She suppressed her anger, said something, and walked towards her room without looking back.

Since she was able to cooperate with Lu Ye, Lu Ye would naturally not treat her too badly, leaving her imprisoned in that abyss.

It can be used to absorb power, serve as a sparring partner, and is also pleasing to the eye—where else can you find a second such a disobedient god?

It is only reasonable to provide her with a decent place to live.

"Okay." Lu Ye smiled and waved to her. "Remember to try your best to recover your magical power."

Athena: “…”

To be honest, although Athena is actually a rather irritable type in mythology, she is probably the only one who can tolerate Lu Ye's oppression.

In mythology, this goddess is also known as the "Mother of Heroes".

Because many heroes in Greek mythology were cared for by her, such as Hercules, Achilles, Odysseus, and so on.

Although it is merely a myth, it will still be reflected in her personality to some extent.

That is, they have a great interest in the growth of others.

Therefore, she doesn't mind offering some help.

Therefore, this hobby should also be considered one of the reasons why she was able to tolerate Lu Ye's oppression.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

"king--"

Just as Lu Ye was looking at Athena's figure with a delighted expression, Liliana's voice came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, that is, after all..."

The silver-haired knight princess had a slightly troubled look in her azure eyes, as if she was hesitating about whether she should be the one to say these words.

However, as a knight, or rather, as his only subordinate, if she cannot speak frankly, then no one else can offer advice to Lu Ye.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my overstepping, but Athena is, after all, a goddess who does not obey orders, so I hope Your Majesty will handle this with care."

As Liliana spoke, a faint blush appeared on her face, as if she felt somewhat ashamed.

Then, after a slight hesitation, she forced herself to lift her head, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

"Although the goddess of the unyielding spirit is indeed unparalleled in beauty, I still hope that the king will not be tempted by her beauty."

"Although Wang is indeed young and vigorous, and full of energy, he may be quite eager for this aspect."

"so......"

As she spoke, her cheeks were almost completely buried in her chest, and one hand gently clutched the hem of her clothes.

Although I couldn't see her face, I could see her bright red ears.

"If the king desires, he may issue an order to his subordinate magic societies to recruit young and beautiful women as his favorite concubines."

"In any case, it is far too dangerous to develop any improper relationship with a god who does not obey."

Despite her shame, Liliana insisted on saying everything she wanted to say.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye remained silent for a moment.

Is there something slightly off about my image?

If it were outsiders, it would be relatively easy to understand.

But Liliana has always been by his side, so why would she have this misunderstanding?

Lu Ye fell into deep thought.

"However, Your Majesty, please do not conscript women who are too young, as this would greatly damage your reputation. Therefore, I hope Your Majesty can exercise some restraint. Furthermore, I hope Your Majesty will not use harsh methods such as binding with chains on ordinary women—"

Lu Ye thought for a moment, then nodded.

Although I don't understand exactly what happened—

Lu Ye reached out and placed his hand on Liliana's shoulder.

Then, several chains extended and quickly wrapped around Liliana's body, binding her tightly.

"Wait, Your Majesty, I am a knight, not—"

"But I feel that hanging you up first is never a mistake."

P.S. 1: I recommend a friend's book, "How Many Ghostly Girlfriends Does the Female Streamer Have?"

PS2: My mom's cancer has metastasized to her lungs, and she needs money for medical treatment. Unfortunately, my royalties won't arrive until next month. Luckily, a kind brother helped me lend him the money. Sigh... I haven't been feeling well these past few days, plus I have exams, so I hope you'll forgive me for the shorter updates. I can only say I'll try my best... Also, and very importantly, I hope everyone won't support my book without my permission... I'm afraid someone might support my book without my permission.

Chapter 90 Why not defy gravity?!

The ability to "omit the process" is a derivative of Lu Ye's "worldview".

Therefore, as Lu Ye's worldview gradually improves and strengthens, or rather, as his understanding of the rules increases, his ability to omit processes is also gradually enhanced.

The most obvious manifestation is that the cooldown time required after each use gradually shortens, and the mana consumption decreases.

After he had fully digested the part of the rules transmitted by the loli demon, he discovered that although his understanding of the rules was still deepening, his ability to "omit the process" was no longer growing.

"Has this ability reached its limit?"

Lu Ye asked in his heart.

In my opinion, no.

There was no response at first, but after a while the little devil finally answered.

Moreover, whether it was just my imagination or not, the little devil, who had always seemed to be incredibly idle, suddenly appeared to be completely indifferent to Lu Ye's question.

"However, your current worldview is probably insufficient to support the further evolution of this ability."

"Only when your understanding of the rules transforms from a quantitative accumulation to a qualitative leap will your ability to omit processes advance further."

"Is my worldview no longer able to support the continued evolution of the omitted process?" Lu Ye was slightly taken aback, but accepted the answer.

After all, he himself had a clear understanding of the strength of this ability.

If this ability were to advance further, its power would be unimaginable.

Given his current worldview, it's normal that he can't take this ability to the next level.

but......

"If that's the case, why did such a powerful ability emerge when my worldview was just taking shape?"

Lu Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

He awakened this ability shortly after acquiring his [worldview].

It seems rather strange that someone could acquire such powerful abilities based solely on the worldview they had just learned at that time.

"Are you being silly again?" The loli demon seemed to click her tongue, her tone tinged with impatience. "Who said your worldview was only formed back then?"

"Could it be that you consider the day you absorbed the power from the Beast Fang Divine Artifact as the day your worldview took shape?"

"Haven't you already begun observing and contemplating the world? From the moment your intellect was born, haven't you been trying to understand the rules of this world?"

"makes sense."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye immediately understood.

but......

"Mozlis, you seem quite busy lately? Are you organizing information that can help me understand the rules?"

"No." The loli demon shook her head, rejecting the statement without hesitation.

Then, a slightly smug smile appeared on her face.

"What I am preparing now is a gift that you may need in this world."

"A gift?" Lu Ye was taken aback, a little puzzled.
