"I'm truly so sorry~ I deserve death for my sins~!" I hurriedly conjured a coat and flew over to cover her body. Up close, I saw her covered in wounds. I hadn't expected the Sword God Sword to be so powerful—this was only with two-tenths of The Power of the Universe infused. If I had used its full power, the entire Boundless Universe might have been reduced to ashes. Only four of us remained alive in the God Realm now, and I was overwhelmed with guilt, unsure of what to do.Slap! A sudden palm struck my face. "How dare you act so recklessly! If not for the gap in our strength, I'd have destroyed you!" Lulu, the God Master, roared at me angrily. Suōshā and the others flew over as well. "Husband, you went too far this time. This won't be easy to resolve," she scolded me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I didn't expect the Sword God Sword to be this terrifying…" At this moment, apologies were all I could offer. "Please, let me help heal you," I said. Enis then cast a healing spell to treat Lulu, the God Master. In no time, her wounds were fully healed. "Fine," Lulu said, restoring her attire with a wave of her hand. She then used divine magic to gradually restore the ravaged God Realm, even reviving the divine officers who had perished in our clash."This one will lend you a hand. Restoring the entire God Realm alone must be taxing, no?" Suōshā offered, stepping forward. "Don't underestimate this God!" Under Lulu, the God Master's control, the entire God Realm was finally restored to its original state. "Lord God Master!" The two revived female officers bowed in gratitude. "Since everything's settled, let's settle the score," Lulu, the God Master, turned to me with an eerie glint in her eyes. I immediately knelt. "It was my impulsiveness that caused this chaos. I'll accept any punishment!" I could only bow my head and admit my fault. "Hmph, no need for your groveling. You defeated me with your strength, fair and square. I'll join your side," Lulu, the God Master, said with a hint of arrogance. "But I'm not doing this for free. There are conditions," she added.As expected. Who doesn't love setting conditions these days? "What might those be, God Master?" I asked. "Hehe, it's a secret. I'll tell you later," she replied, dodging the question. Why do these God Masters always keep things hidden? Oh well, since she wasn't blaming me and was willing to join our cause, I didn't press further. "Then, thank you, God Master~!" I said with a respectful bow. "Call me Lulu. 'God Master' is too formal," she said. "Uh… alright, I'll call you Lulu from now on," I replied, scratching my head. "God Master, what are you—?" the female officers interjected. "Silence!" Lulu snapped at them."Looks like she's already smitten, just like me," Suōshā said, covering her mouth with a chuckle. "You're getting a bit chatty," Lulu retorted, slightly displeased. "Well, since the God Realm is at peace again, we won't disturb you further. We'll take our leave," I said, standing to go. "Leaving so soon? This God will escort you out of the hall," Lulu insisted, joining us as we headed outside."Oh, how could we trouble you to see us off? We can go back ourselves," I protested. "No bother, no bother. I'm bored anyway, so let's walk together," she said, linking her arm with mine. Enis and Suōshā seemed a bit displeased. We reached the outside of the palace. "No need to see us further, Lulu. We'll contact you next time," I said, preparing to take off with Enis and Suōshā. "Alright, I hope we meet again soon. Farewell~!" After waving goodbye, I used teleportation to leave the Luxi Universe.Today, we visited three universes in a row, and it was getting late. We decided to return to our courtyard for a night's rest before continuing to persuade other universes. "Home at last~!" I said with a smile to my two wives, feeling relaxed by the familiar scenery. Today had been quite fruitful—we successfully persuaded three universes. Tomorrow, we'd need to keep up the momentum."Speaking of which, I didn't expect such a youthful girl to be a God Master. It seems God Masters aren't as untouchable as I thought," I said casually. "In the eyes of mortals, gods seem lofty, always spouting profound philosophies. But that's just mortal perception. Gods, like mortals, have emotions and desires, worn down by the endless burden of duty over eons. For the sake of all beings, we discipline ourselves, bury our hearts, and become the emotionless Heavenly Way. The so-called severing of desires is just a god's self-redemption—the price of divinity. Lulu, like me, has long secluded herself in the God Realm. We've lived long enough yet cannot retreat. I understand her actions earlier. Your appearance, husband, has brought new vitality to her life, and I have nothing to say," Suōshā said thoughtfully, explaining the deeper reasons. "It seems gods, like me, can't endure endless emptiness. If I hadn't met you, husband, my life would've been as dull as a walking corpse," Enis added, sharing her thoughts. "Alright, enough with the somber mood. After such a long day, we deserve a good meal to reward ourselves!" I said, rubbing my stomach to lighten the atmosphere. "Mhm, tonight I'll show off my skills~!" Enis said confidently. "Let me help too!" Suōshā chimed in, not wanting to be outdone. Looks like we're in for a treat tonight.
