Chapter 444: Saint God Phoenix! Sirin's Confusion!
"What is your current power like?"
Phoenix closed her eyes for a moment. "My power seems to be the same as when I was the Blazing King."
"Oh?" Ren was surprised. Doesn't that mean at least Level 7 power? He didn't think a Saint God was that strong. He guessed, "Perhaps your essence has been completely changed. However, I am very satisfied." This meant he had gained a beautiful Lv7 subordinate for free.
"Oh, by the way, this belongs to Light Lion," a red magatama appeared in his hand.
"This is the power of the heart." Phoenix placed her hands on her chest, and an orange light condensed into an orange magatama that floated to him. "This is the only thing I can give to you, Master."
"The power of the heart… but it is an elemental force." Ren temporarily put it away. "Let's deal with the Doomsday Game first."
He walked out of the room and saw Mai and the others looking at him curiously. Rindo Kobayashi even laughed. "Hahaha, I guessed right! It really was ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes?" Ren narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Uh…" Her laughter stopped abruptly. She couldn't possibly say she had just guessed how long he would take, could she?
Ren knew what she meant. He chuckled. "Less dirty thoughts in your head. By the way, my strength is beyond your wildest imagination. Want to give it a try?"
"Ah?" Rindo Kobayashi's gaze drifted.
"Rindo, don't sleep during your break." After saying that, leaving a bewildered Rindo behind, Ren left the villa.
"Um, he wouldn't do anything to me, would he?" she was now a little scared.
"Ren-kun shouldn't be that kind of person," Sakurajima Mai made her judgment.
"I hope so…"
The strategy for Creation God Mountain was much faster than he had imagined. They reached the fourth floor in just half a day. The second floor was cleared in one hour, the final boss killed by Yumiko. The third floor was the Land of the Sword King; its monsters were all blade-related. The final boss was defeated by Eriri.
Now it was the fourth floor, the Land of Moonlight. Level 6 monsters were becoming more numerous. Haruno and the others had upgraded their abilities to Lv6. Kaguya gained ice power, and Hayasaka Ai gained wind power.
Ren's gains were enormous. His doomsday points had reached 550 million. After defeating the fourth-floor Demon King, he acquired the soul of the Moonlight Goddess, Luluna, and her green magatama. It must be said, she was very beautiful, with a different kind of fullness and charm from Phoenix.
The sky on the fourth floor was dark, perfect for resting. Many returned to the villa. The Children of Angels were still fighting. Bored, Ren naturally chose to play games with those who were resting.
"Ren, didn't you say we were resting? Why did you call me here?" Kiana, in his room, was restless.
"Of course, to deal with your and Sirin's problems," he said, appearing kind. Kiana, however, found this terrifying.
"N-nothing! I've already talked it over with her!"
"You talked it over? Including your own background?" Ren was surprised.
"..." Kiana's gaze lowered. "Yes, I know everything. I am K-423, a clone of the real Kiana, a vessel. Dad isn't my dad. I'm just living with her identity."
She lowered her head and threw herself into his arms, her voice choked with sobs. "In the future, I will return everything to her."
Ren gently stroked her hair. "None of that matters. At least you still have me, don't you? And Mei and Bronya, and Himeko."
She looked up, her eyes tearful yet determined. "Yes! Ren, and Mei and the others belong to me! I will never let go!"
Seeing her moving appearance, he couldn't help but be moved and kissed her. Kiana did not dodge; instead, she took the initiative, wrapping her arms around him and deepening the kiss.
"Bastard! Bastard!!! Didn't you say no?!" The golden light in her right eye flickered wildly. Sirin almost wanted to kill Kiana. "Kiana! I'll… kill you!"
But the anger was only momentary. Gradually, it was replaced by another emotion she had never experienced before as the kiss continued, a confusing warmth spreading through her as Kiana's passion met his.
