Chapter 350: Daring

Chapter 350 – Daring

She wanted more.

The more they kissed, the more she drank Noah’s saliva like a woman forbidden water for eons, the more she craved.

She didn’t simply want to dance with his tongue. She didn’t simply want to grip his neck. And most of all... she didn’t want him to only hold her waist.

She wanted them alone. She wanted them naked. She wanted them to do what she had been craving since the moment she laid eyes on his well-defined abs.

It was madness, this greed of hers. To want a man she was sent to kill. A man she barely knew. A man... who had almost killed her.

’But maybe that’s why I want him?’ Virginia thought as she kissed him deeper.

The heart of a woman was a mystery. Even to a woman like Virginia, who had lived eons, witnessed the birth and death of civilizations and caused some civilizations to end.

She was no weak woman, true. But before Noah, she found herself insufferably weak. And still, she did not want to give herself too easily. She had already gone far beyond what she should have with this kiss.

So, with an effort equal to a mortal man bearing the world on frail shoulders, Virgo finally managed to break the kiss, separating her lips from Noah’s divine lips.

A trail of thick, shining saliva clung stubbornly between them, unwilling to snap.

Noah himself lingered on the kiss. It had been long since he had kissed, long since he had had sex. He missed it. But he would have enjoyed it more if it were with his wives.

’I miss them. I should go back to Laeh. I miss my wives too much.’ His thoughts were almost a cry of pain.

He was starving for them—Anya, Neko, Ester, Justicia, Selene, Sophie, Yuki... and more, without forgetting his maids, and his two children.

He found it harder and harder to stay away from them. Traveling with his siblings and touring the universe was nice... but nothing compared to being home, surrounded by his wives, living without worry.

’Ah... let’s settle this quickly and go back. I still need the Origin of Fate, Destiny, and Causality for the body of Providence.’

There were too many things to do, so he couldn’t stay here too long. Especially not knowing how much time had truly passed.

Sighing once, he turned back to Virgo, smiling faintly.

Virgo intrigued him. A woman from another universe, holding the power of Ruin. Without a doubt, she was the key if he ever sought to go beyond his own universe.

She needed to stay. He needed her to become as loyal, as obsessed, as any of his other women. And for that... Noah was already an expert.

He had succeeded with goddesses, saintesses, queens, demonesses, dragons, and more.

A red-skinned woman with unknown origins should not be any different.

"How was it?" he asked, his voice still heavy with desire.

Virgo managed a small, almost imperceptible smile. "Who allowed you to kiss me?" she asked, seemingly reproachful, but her eyes betrayed her.

"Shouldn’t you be over the moon that I kissed you?"

"Why should I be? Who are you?"

"I’m afraid if I told you my name, you’d lose your mind."

"Your name? Noah Vaelgrim... or your True Name?" she asked, curiosity glinting in her eyes.

Noah only smiled, offering no reply. But silence itself was an answer, and Virgo’s curiosity deepened.

"Tell me. What’s your True Name? I’ll tell you mine in return."

"You say it like it’s a fair trade." Noah chuckled. "But it isn’t, darling."

Virgo frowned, about to reply, but the mechanical feminine voice of this unknown place cut her off.

"Accept yourself as you are, or strive to be better? What is the correct path?"

Instantly, both Noah and Virgo focused. They already understood the weight of these questions. Not only did they help you gain knowledge and understanding, but the points you earned were useful.

Noah didn’t know how advanced this system was, but he was willing to try. With sharpened minds and hearts, the two prepared to debate the answer.

"I think I’m already quite perfect, don’t you think, darling?"

Virgo stared at him with an expression that screamed ’what the fuck did this man just say?’ Then she sighed in weariness.

Noah laughed at her expression.

...

Laeh — Church of the Absolute, Main Building.

"Why did you call me here, Solaris?" Elizabeth asked as she opened the door of Solaris’s office, finding the woman drowning in a sea of documents.

Documents filled with the petitions of common people, pleading for the Church’s help.

As leader of all churches within Laeh, Solaris bore the responsibility of approving each request before it could be enacted.

It was taxing, but hardly beyond her. She was Mythic Rank, after all. Yet looking at her now... one would think she was about to die.

Elizabeth had never seen a Mythic being with such heavy bags under their eyes, nor hair wild enough to be mistaken for a bird’s nest.

’I only look this ruined when Noah pounds my pussy and ass. What’s wrong with her’ Elizabeth wondered.

She sat across from Solaris and swept her hand, sending the towering stacks of papers into the air. Each document attached itself to a string of Fate.

Her blank white eyes glowed, flicking over them briefly, and the strings of Fate turned green or red, deciding what would be accepted and what would not.

When finished, the documents scattered into different directions of the world, sent directly to the branches of the Church.

Elizabeth crossed one leg over the other, leaned back in her chair, and fixed her blank eyes on Solaris.

"Why?" she asked.

The word was vague, but Solaris instinctively understood. Yet instead of answering as a subordinate, instead of showing her the respect due her master, her leader...

What escaped Solaris’s lips was a voice steeped in jealousy, exhaustion, and self-loathing.

"It must be nice to be the wife of the Absolute, huh, dear Silver Goddess?"

A tone dripping with sarcasm.

Elizabeth immediately frowned. Gravity inside the room multiplied, crushing everything. Walls and furniture splintered, shredding into pieces as they were dragged down.

"What did you just say, Solaris?"

Solaris bit her lip. But she did not swallow her words. She was at her breaking point, her lowest, and she was tired of silence.

She needed to let it out. She needed to purge the feelings that threatened to tear her apart.

And so...

"I said it must be nice to be the wife of the Absolute. What? Did I say something wrong?"

Solaris’s voice was sharp, rebellious.

But Elizabeth was not known to forgive.

She smiled, but her eyes did not.

And Solaris shuddered.
