[Note: Because Celia and Shilock have significant influence on the world and are classified as Super Daughters of Destiny, you automatically receive 60% of the world's luck.]
Lucian stared at the system notifications, stunned.
Good grief.
Shilock had been within expectations. But he hadn't expected Katie to be capable enough to bring Celia along.
The apostle's strength was formidable indeed.
Moreover, Sauron's origin was a god-tier soul. After gaining the amplification, becoming a goddess was well within reach.
Still, none of them could compare to Ye Rou.
In a flash, the divine light delivered them all. Celia and the others appeared before Lucian.
Looking at that familiar face—
Lucian's eyelid twitched. If you only knew how much hard-earned money you cost me in my previous life, you'd understand why I want payback.
"Ahem... It's rude to stare at the gods."
The well-mannered Rin Tosaka coughed gently, reminding them of etiquette.
Shilock, who had been greedily absorbing the divine source energy, snapped awake and immediately knelt.
"Greetings, my lord. I... I lost myself for a moment. The energy here is so rich—I couldn't help it..."
This apostle who had been feared as a monster in the mortal world—
Now she behaved like a child caught making a mistake.
Celia watched in astonishment.
Weren't apostles supposed to be cruel, terrifying beings?
Why was this one acting like this?
Shilock had originally been born extraordinarily beautiful. It was her violent aura and deep resentment that had warped her appearance into something terrible. Now—silver hair flowing straight to the ground, fair skin, a tall and graceful figure, and that timid expression on her face...
Anyone who dared to call this a murderous apostle, Celia was ready to clock them with a blunt weapon.
[Name]: Shilock
[Race]: Seed of Origin
[Attribute]: Chaos / Light
[Remarks]: Shilock is plant-like and has no fixed attributes. Given warm light, she will become a capable goddess.
[Potential]: Capable of becoming a Higher God, provided sufficient divine power.
And on the other hand—
[Name]: Celia
[Race]: Ancient Elf Bloodline
[Attribute]: Seal
[Remarks]: Celia is a goddess with powerful sealing abilities and immense growth potential.
Lucian had to smile. Two more goddesses with the potential to reach Higher God rank, just like Ye Rou.
The women of Arad's world really were exceptional—strong in combat, beautiful in appearance, and their temperaments were cultivable too.
Shilock would probably become a clinger in the future. Her attributes guaranteed it. She literally couldn't help getting intoxicated whenever she encountered energy.
Celia and Sauron were quieter by comparison. Louis was bolder, sneaking glances at Lucian from the side.
After paying their respects, the new goddesses were escorted to their quarters.
Celia and Shilock walked toward Ziwei Palace.
The moment they stepped inside, both women tensed. Many extraordinarily beautiful women stood there, each radiating an overwhelming aura. Even the weakest among them far surpassed the two newcomers.
"My lord, these must be Sister Celia and Sister Shilock, right?"
Solanum was naturally sociable and loved the water. Even as a goddess now, she still spent her time in the chat group, narrating events and playfully teasing the priests.
"Yes. I am Celia. Greetings, my lady."
"Oh, none of that 'my lady' business. Just call me sister. Or big sister, if you like. Everyone in the Divine Domain is family—no need for formalities."
Tiamat reminded her with a warm smile.
The others showed kind expressions too.
Shilock followed Celia's lead and offered her own greetings. Then her gaze fell on a delicate woman in a white dress, and she asked in surprise, "Sister—do you also absorb energy involuntarily, just like me?"
"Yes. I'm of the White Serpent bloodline, so I absorb divine power naturally. I imagine it's the same for you?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Shilock's brows curved into a smile. She drifted to Bai Suzhen's side and began conversing in a low voice.
She'd thought she was the only one like this.
Finding a kindred spirit felt wonderful.
As for Celia, after a moment's hesitation, she chose to follow Galadriel. The golden queen had just returned and was surprised to find an elf from another world joining them—a goddess, no less. There was much to discuss.
When Lucian sat down, Shenwu immediately brought him a cup of fragrant tea.
Dongfang Huaizhu, kneeling nearby, asked, "My lord, why wasn't the earlier battle fought the usual way? Tu Shan Yaya asked me about it."
Currently, among the three Tu Shan sisters, Tu Shan Honghong had successfully broken through to the divine tier. But her divine power was unstable, so she'd entered seclusion. No one had seen her for two months.
The rest of the goddesses turned their eyes to Lucian upon hearing the question.
He smiled. "The answer is simple. Beyond suppressing consciousness and destroying a Divine Domain through brute force, there are countless ways to kill a god. This time, I chose to use my Divine Domain to directly annihilate his."
As he spoke, an image materialized before all the goddesses.
It showed the moment he'd struck the old dog Haoran with the Amber Divine Dao Sword.
In slow motion, they watched the blade pierce the enemy's body. A terrifying force instantly cut through the opponent's Divine Domain defenses and invaded the central area, detonating it—his entire domain and all the divine power energy within.
Combined with the force of Lucian's law as the catalyst—
Haoran's divine system, the one pulling strings from the shadows, was destroyed in a single masterstroke.
The goddesses were mesmerized by the elegant precision of it.
They hadn't imagined such a technique existed.
Ye Rou watched for a while, then turned and asked, "If I encountered an enemy's subordinates with tricks, could I use this method to kill them?"
"In theory—but you can't break through an enemy's Divine Domain barrier. If you had my Divine Dao Sword, it would be possible, but the consumption would be enormous..."
Lucian smiled at her.
Ye Rou sighed in disappointment. The trade-off wasn't worth it.
