As expected, the next couple of hours went by pretty peacefully. Except, there came a visitor whom Rael hadnât exactly invited.
That visitor came in the form of a particular old pervert who looked just like Renoir. Rather, it really was Renoir. Raelâs eyes werenât deceiving him this time.
But for some reason, this guy was very mad. Why? Rael was sure that he had not placed any traps filled with dogshit out in front, so could it be some other kind of misunderstanding?
He didnât think too much about it until Renoir stepped in front of him and glared fiercely. âMy wifeâs pregnant.â
âI swear I didnât do it,â Rael replied, tilting his head, only for Renoirâs brows to twitch in disbelief.
âWhat are you talking about? No! Itâs the condom you gave me. It was torn. Why would you give me torn condoms?â
Rael furrowed his brows. âLad, I donât mean to be rude, but in the span of the trillion years youâve been away from your wife, did you not learn how to pull out?â
Those words were like thunder striking through Renoirâs mind, as he went ahead and tried his best not to kill Rael on the spot. After all, Rael knew very well which buttons he was pushing, and he knew even more just how little Renoir cared about Raelâs safety at this point, so of course, a punch soon came Raelâs way, which he nimbly dodged.
However, that slight bit of nimbleness was far more than Renoir expected, as when he left Rael, he wasnât this strong. Alas, since he didnât want to get his ass beat at this exact moment, he decided to call a truce.
âTsk⊠What was all that about? Do we have a problem?â
Before Rael could answer, Nyx chimed in from the side:
âAh, someone cut a hole in every condom in existence. It wasnât Raelâs fault. He didnât know. But hey, abortion is still an option, isnât it?â
Renoirâs brow twitched. âWeâre not doing that. Also, why was there a barrier surrounding this place? It took me a few minutes to break through it.â
âAh⊠I thought that was a mosquito. No wonderâŠâ Rael sighed. âAnyways, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to go apologize to your wife for you making her pregnant? DumbassâŠâ
But it was perfect. Mainly because Rael had seen something like this happening due to what Nyx had said. And as it also happened, he had made sure to reach out to Melissa a few days ago.
She wasnât doing much aside from hanging out with the Colorless Goddess. In terms of strength, he had also realized that she was far stronger than what he had given her credit for. In fact, he was sure she could take on the Beast and most likely win.
Renoir, on the other hand, would probably one-shot her. Still, since Rael so kindly reached out to her, before they knew it, another figure stepped out from the room off to the side, and when Renoir subconsciously turned toward it, he froze.
It was none other than Melissa. Except she was much more mature than he had remembered, and if that wasnât enough, she was also far more powerful. Even though she was nowhere near as strong as him, he was positive that if the two of them were to fight, they would actually injure one another considerably.
But from the plain look in her eyes, he assumed there werenât any hateful thoughts. Hey, if anything, she might not even know who he was. After all, with his powers, he made sure she didnât know anything and thought of Rael as the original.
HoweverâŠ
âAh, right. I made sure to restore her memories as they should be. Not to mention, I also went ahead and gave her a bit of a boost in her powers, so be warned,â Rael said.
The boost in power was nothing crazy. Only 100% Mastery Law of Time, which he realized he could just place into anyoneâs body without them even noticing. She noticed though, since he did kind of tell her.
And now that she was face to face with Renoir, she had a lot of things on her mind, and not all of them were very pleasant things.
âBrother, itâs been a while,â Melissa said with a warm smile. âI was a bit worried, since in the several eons we were apart, you didnât bother to visit me even once. In fact, you went ahead and erased my memories. For a second, I thought you mightâve meant it, but it was a joke, right?â
Of course, she wasnât an idiot, and she was just playing with him at this point, making her next words sting even more:
âOr maybe not. I never expected much from you to begin with. But whatever you do moving forward, just know that if you ever go near my mind again, Iâm going to kill you in the most painful way imaginable. Itâs a promise, brother.â
ââŠâ Renoir stared at her for a moment, then let out a sigh. He really did have nothing to tell her, and if that wasnât enough, he felt like Rael had also mentioned how he had planned on dodging her forever too.
Alas, there were just problem after problem with this guy, and in the end, Rael wished that these guys would just resolve it here and now.
But since Gaia decided to go on a pirate road trip with the others, leaving behind only Nyx, there werenât any actual trusted adults here who could calm others down in case a problem were to arise.
After all, the only other people who lived in this house were out working. As for Yggdrasilâs Melissa and Altros, Nyx had chosen not to wake them up yet, planning to do so after dealing with the issue in front of them.
However, the issue seemed to be a bit more severe than either of them thought.
