Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

These days, it's less about her keeping Metalia company and more about Rhodes deliberately having Metalia come to play with her.

The joys of childhood never before experienced, the playful bickering and fighting with friends, and the questioning and exploration of the world...

The guy who was like a killing machine has died at some point.

What remains is a newborn girl named Kaguya.

However, happy times are always fleeting.

With the civil unrest quelled and the country returning to normalcy under the violent stabilization efforts of the Shadow Soldiers, it was time for Rhodes and Mettler to go back.

Aside from the three goddesses who had been with Rhodes day and night, the only one who enjoyed the honor of being seen off was Xiao, a somewhat out-of-place human girl.

Rhodes looked at Amaterasu and gave her some instructions.

"With the shadow forces I left behind and the policies I pre-established, the Far East will surely prosper."

"But at the same time, don't forget to train the priestesses I've made pacts with and bestowed with blessings upon; they'll be useful in the future."

Amaterasu reluctantly stepped forward and straightened Rhodes's clothes.

"I've remembered that. Your will is now the will of the Far East."

Tsukuyomi smiled gently and teased.

"It's so unfair. It's just a moment for you, but it feels like ten years for us."

"Fortunately, we gods are the type to be slow to perceive time, it's just a pity about that child..."

Kaguya, who was standing to the side, was unaware of the details of the matter.

All she knew was that her master and friend seemed to be leaving, and that they wouldn't see each other again for a very long time.

That pretty face, which always carried a hint of aloofness, also revealed a rare look of loneliness.

"...Owner."

Rhodes smiled at Kaguya and secretly cast the Illusionary Spirit Codex.

"Go find your true home, and then...we will meet again there."

After doing all this, Rhode held the expectant Metaria in his arms and mentally gave the system the command.

"System, take Metalia back to ten years in the future."

Just before they were about to be teleported away, Konohana Sakura suddenly rushed up.

Under the incredulous look on Metaria's face, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Rhodes!

The goddesses Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi behind them were stunned.

After the deep kiss, a captivating smile appeared on Konohana Sakura's face.

She whispered in Rhodes' ear.

"Ugh, you're really skilled at this. But at least your first kiss with the goddess was with me, Muhana Sakura-hime!"

"Don't forget, waiting for you here are us, your lovely shrine maidens, and even your beloved Kaguya has a younger sister who's hailed as a masterpiece... they're twin beauties~"

Wildflowers may smell sweet, but remember to nourish your garden flowers too!

The teleportation barrier gradually engulfed Rhodes and Metaria.

I could vaguely hear Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi angrily teaming up to beat up Konohana Sakuya-hime.

One second the goddess of beauty was radiating charm, the next she was crying and begging for mercy.

Rhodes chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and his figure vanished completely from this era.

Ten years later.

Orario, the House of Hearths.

The moment Rhodes appeared carrying Metaria, everything that had been concealed by the Phantom Codex was instantly unsealed.

Lyra and Kaguya, who were staying in the Familia and chatting with the goddess Astrea, suddenly changed their expressions and froze on the spot.

Astraea shook her walnut-colored hair in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Leila lowered her head deeply, clenched her small fists, and tried her best to hold back the tears that were about to spill from the corners of her eyes.

"So... I actually forgot something so important..."

Kaguya covered her forehead, her body trembling with excitement.

Her stunningly beautiful face radiated light, yet her smile carried a chillingly alluring quality.

"Heh heh heh... You actually just left like that back then...."

The next second, the two of them said in unison.

"I'm going to find that bastard!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them instantly transformed into two afterimages, bursting out of the door at an extremely fast speed, exuding an incomparably fierce aura!

At this moment, if any unlucky guy dared to stand in their way, he would probably be torn to shreds without mercy.

"Little one, don't get involved in this kind of trouble!"

"You hypocrite, you're the one who shouldn't disturb my...rod's sweet moment!"

"Huh? You want to fight?!"

"Um... I give up."

"Fine... Damn it, you actually dared to launch a sneak attack!!!"

Kaguya, enraged after being suddenly thrown a smoke bomb by the dwarfs, brandished her sword sheath.

However, Lyra had already shrewdly disappeared like a mouse.

"Bye-bye, this is a precious survival wisdom that even the princess doesn't have~ Hehe~"

Kaguya covered her face, which was red from the smoke, and bounced repeatedly against the wall, flipping onto the roof like a swallow.

A flame of anger flickered in those crimson eyes.

"Don't think I'll let you get away with this so easily!"

Inside the Hall of Stars, Astraea looked at the wide-open door, blinked, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

"Hey~ I don't know what happened, but it must be really interesting~"

After thinking for a moment, the goddess waved her little fist and decided to secretly follow them to see what was going on.

At this very moment, Rhodes' mind was receiving a massive barrage of system notifications!

[Ten years of accumulated prayers are now being calculated....]

[The accumulated Prayer Points in Bergen, the city of sinners, have reached... 130 million!]

The Far East has accumulated 40 prayer points!

[Rank A Prayer: Save Kaguya from Hell, Completed.]

[Rewards: Development Ability - Night Battle (H), and 5000 Prayer Points!]

[S-Rank Prayer: Transforming the City of Sinners, Completed.]

[Reward: Humanity's Final Trial - Dystopian Spirit, and 12000 Wishing Points!]

[Special Reward: The contract with the Hera Familia has taken effect.]

【...】

The noisy yet pleasant sound kept echoing in my mind and flooding my screen.

The numbers representing the wish points on the panel were changing wildly at a dizzying pace.

It finally settled on a number that made him ecstatic!

[Current Prayer Points Balance: 1777400!]

"Hahahahaha!"

Rhodes was immediately in a good mood and couldn't help but hug the still somewhat bewildered Metalia in his arms, pull her slender waist into his arms, and kiss her fiercely!

The girl whose lips had been taken away stared wide-eyed at her beautiful blue eyes.

Gradually, the girl's somewhat stiff body softened.

Amidst her disordered breathing, Metalia obediently closed her beautiful eyes, slowly tiptoed, and wrapped her fair arms around Rhodes' neck.

Just as the girl couldn't resist following her body's instincts and snuggled herself into Rhodes' arms.

Two uninvited guests appeared; one nimbly climbed in through the window, while the other crashed down from the ceiling!

"Ugh... Oh! You, you..."

Startled, Metalia jumped out of Rhodes' arms as if she had done something wrong, her pure and beautiful face flushed red.

When she saw clearly the girl in front of her, who was completely different from the cold, doll-like figure she had been as a child, and had now blossomed into a graceful and elegant young woman full of the spirit of a Yamato Nadeshiko, Metair's eyes widened instantly.

"Kaguya-chan! You're Kaguya-chan, right?!"

She excitedly opened her arms and lunged at the other person.

Kaguya pursed her lips tightly, a look of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

A gentle smile appeared on her face as she extended her right hand.

"It's been a long time, Metaria."

"Wow, Kaguya is so cute even as an adult! I..."

Before Metalia could finish speaking, Kaguya, with a smile on her face, delivered a clean and swift chop to the back of Metalia's neck.

The unconscious Metaria slumped softly into Kaguya's arms and fell silent instantly.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a comfortable expression.

"Ah~ I feel much better now. I've wanted to beat you up for the past ten years..."

Rod watched as the beautiful scene of the sisters' reunion instantly turned into a scene of love and hate, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

Kaguya helped Metria to sit down on the sofa, then turned to look at Rhodes, their eyes meeting.

Anyone who sees her will be amazed by her near-divine beauty; her exquisite features are not so much pretty as they are flawless.

Her long, beautiful black hair, as smooth as the finest black silk, trailed down to her waist.

In those crimson eyes, tears glistened faintly, filled with deep affection, as if they held a thousand unspoken words.

Rod felt inexplicably guilty and gave a stiff smile.

"Ah, it's been a long time, Kaguya."

Kaguya walked gracefully towards Rhodes.

She wore a deep red kimono embroidered with cherry blossoms and butterflies, and an orange sash around her slender waist.

Barefoot, she wore wooden clogs with distinct angles; the black lacquer and red straps of the clogs made her fair, bare feet stand out even more.

The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

Kaguya took a deep breath, looked up to meet Rhodes' gaze, and a strange, meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"Long time no see... Master~"

Rhodes couldn't help but shudder, and he quickly coughed lightly.

"Um, just call me Rod, it's the same as before."

Rhodes' love was naturally the same for all his harem members.

However, it cannot be denied that these girls, whom Rhodes knew from humble beginnings, held a special place in his heart.

Even though their identities and strengths may be worlds apart, when Rhodes is with them, it's as if he's returned to the early days when he was still living off women.
