"Huh?"
Alice's situation was somewhat unexpected for Rin.
Her race, attributes, and even the 1.6 million magicules after evolution were all within Rin's expectations.
Only the special skill called Innate Dual Manifestation gave Rin a pleasant surprise.
In simple terms, Alice's relationship with Rin was somewhat similar to that of Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
Compared to ordinary subordinates, the two were even more closely bound. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a guardian spirit that could be carried around at all times.
Alice was still an eight or nine year old girl.
However, her temperament and appearance had undergone earth shaking changes.
Her original black and white school uniform had been replaced by a crystal like silk princess dress.
The prismatic ornaments floating around her body and worn upon her each contained immeasurable spatial energy.
As the girl's fair little feet landed, azure crystal flowers bloomed within the void.
Dimension, space, realm, plane.
This was the power possessed by Alice, the Goddess of Space.
With a single movement, countless laws would be stirred, triggering cataclysmic disturbances.
"You need to train properly Alice."
Rin smiled and hugged the girl, smoothly erasing the various phenomena she had caused.
As Void God, Rin's authority over time and space far surpassed Alice's.
"Mwah!"
Before Rin could react, the young girl suddenly stood on her tiptoes.
Then, soft and delicate lips carrying a faint milky fragrance gently landed on Rin's cheek.
"Thank you, Big Brother Rin!"
"From now on, Alice will be Big Brother Rin's Guardian Goddess!"
Hmm, still a tiny one.
But a goddess was still a goddess.
The power Alice now possessed was in no way inferior to those top tier experts.
It was just that, due to her extreme youth, she could not yet fully control her power, and therefore could not exert her full strength.
If one truly calculated it, Alice would probably be completely crushed if she were to face the current Shizue.
"You're really popular with children."
Shizue covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She did not take Alice's actions to heart.
Alice was not a girl who merely looked young while having lived for hundreds or thousands of years. She was genuinely only eight years old.
There was no need to care about the actions of such a small child.
"Haha!"
Rin likewise did not take Alice's small gesture seriously.
Moreover, Rin was not modest at all about being popular with children. "Of course I am. Ogerpon likes me so much!"
When it came to raising girls and young children, Rin felt he had plenty of experience.
"Mhm!"
Alice's favorability toward Rin was already extremely high.
Rin's appearance, temperament, and personality had all perfectly struck Alice's preferences during their short time together.
On top of that, Rin had saved her and Shizue's lives.
With all these factors combined, Alice's statement that she wanted to become Big Brother Rin's bride when she grew up was absolutely not said lightly.
"Anyway…"
Rin set the girl down, then ruffled her hair and smiled. "From now on Alice, you need to give Big Brother a bit more good luck."
"Mmm~"
"Alice's attribute is space, not luck~"
Even so, Alice would still bless Rin, hoping he would always have good fortune.
"So amazing…"
On the other side, Kenya, Ryota, and Gale were completely stunned as they watched Alice, who now seemed like a completely different person.
They also wanted to be as cool as Alice.
"Next, Chloe, it's your turn."
Rin looked at the three boys. "As men, it's fine to let the girls go first, right?"
"Or, which one of you wants to go first?"
"Hmph!"
Kenya's face flushed, but he stubbornly replied, "It's just waiting a little longer. I, I'm not impatient at all!"
"Alright, then Kenya, you'll be the last one."
"Me?!"
Kenya was shocked, but then he looked at Ryota and Gale.
Among the five children, someone had to be last.
If it was not him, then it would be someone else.
"Who do you think I am?!"
"Last is last!"
"Grandpa Kenya has plenty of patience!"
Rin saw through the child's thoughts, which made him look at Kenya with renewed interest.
He liked children who were willing to yield for their companions.
After speaking, Kenya, Ryota, and Gale quietly watched as Rin began treating Chloe.
Chloe, the strongest hero in the original work, was a fated girl with the ability to traverse time.
Rin had never doubted her talent or potential.
However…
"Let me see."
"Now that the plot has been completely changed by me."
As Rin created a Spirit suitable for Chloe, he carefully observed her reaction. "Will you still return to this era as a time spirit, just like in the original work?"
"Here it comes!"
Suddenly, Rin felt the surrounding flow of time freeze.
Aside from Rin himself, the only one still able to move was Alice, who had fused with Boundless Rift.
"What is this?"
Alice clearly had not yet realized what was happening.
In the next moment, a golden figure slowly emerged above Rin's head.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful woman in her twenties, wrapped in a thin yet supremely sacred veil.
The crown upon her head and the radiant star rings on her limbs silently proclaimed her noble status.
Moreover, her appearance was extremely similar to Chloe's.
In fact, upon closer inspection, one would realize that she was exactly what Chloe would look like after growing up.
