Chapter 237: The Initiative of the Yuigahama Mother and Daughter, Beginning the Condensation of the Godhead!
.....
A series of sharp, visceral sounds echoed in the room, leaving the mother and daughter stunned. They carefully opened the closet door to find Seito standing there, holding his Dragon Blade, his face cold and sharp as he looked down at the mangled corpse of the monster on the floor.
"Seito-kun! Wuuu—!"
Seeing him, Yui Yuigahama finally broke down. She lunged forward, burying herself in his chest and sobbing uncontrollably.
"It's alright now~" Seito held her gently, stroking her small head. To her, this was a life-shattering nightmare; it was only natural for her to be shaken.
"Seito..." Mrs. Yuigahama wiped the tears from her eyes. Only moments ago, she had believed they were both going to die. She had been bracing herself to rush out and buy Yui a few seconds of time—after all, her daughter was still so young; she couldn't let her child be buried with her.
She hadn't expected Seito to appear out of thin air. Looking at his current gear, she instantly recognized him as "God Seito," the #1 player in God Domain. She wasn't an ignorant woman; she knew the game well—she was a player herself, albeit a "farming" specialist. "Seito, thank you." She looked at him with profound gratitude, her gaze softening.
"Don't mention it." Seito gave a faint smile and activated his Kamui skill.
Whoosh—! A swirling vortex opened, swallowing the monster's carcass entirely. He stayed with them, offering comfort until Yui's trembling finally began to subside, about five minutes later.
"Yui, why don't you stay in my room tonight?" the mother suggested, glancing at the trashed state of Yui's bedroom. It wasn't fit for sleeping in.
"I..." Yui hesitated, her face flushing crimson.
"I... I want Seito-kun to stay with me..."
Her voice was barely a whisper, but both Seito and her mother heard it perfectly. They exchanged a glance, and Mrs. Yuigahama simply said, "Seito, you should stay then."
"Well, alright." Seito didn't refuse. In any case, once they fell asleep in the dead of night, he could slip out to condense his Godhead. Mrs. Yuigahama didn't object, and she quietly left the room.
A while later, lying in the blankets with Yui, Seito remained wide awake. He had a divine ascension to prepare for.
"Seito-kun..." Yui suddenly murmured in the dark.
"What's wrong?"
"Do... do you mind having another... gi... girlfriend?" Yui asked, her voice thick with embarrassment. After today's ordeal, she felt she had to get this off her chest. If she didn't say it now, she might never have the courage again.
Seito was stunned. He teased with a grin, "Does little Yui want to be my second girlfriend~?"
"Mm." Her response was like the buzz of a mosquito, but it was a clear confirmation. Polygamy wasn't exactly unheard of, though she did feel a pang of guilt toward Shoko Nishimiya.
Seito's eyes twinkled as he said in a playful, flirtatious tone, "Does Yui-chan know about the 'war' between boyfriends and girlfriends?"
"War? What's that?"
"Come here, let me teach you."
"Uhh..."
One hour later.
In Mrs. Yuigahama's room, the lady of the house tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her face was flushed slightly pink. It's been an hour... is he really that strong? she wondered, suddenly worried for her daughter. With the intensity of that kind of "offensive," she doubted her daughter's "defensive stats" could hold up!
Thinking of Seito's handsome profile, her blush deepened. Should I go help Yui? Otherwise, she might be completely overwhelmed. She wrestled with her thoughts for a long time, until her eyes hardened with resolve. Without a word, she stood up and walked toward Yui's room.
A few moments later...
"M-Mom...!"
"Uh... Mrs. Yuigahama, you..."
"I... I'm just here to help Yui..."
3:00 AM.
On a deserted island in the middle of the ocean, Seito sat on a jagged rock after a quick Spatial Shift.
"Nothing beats a midnight snack," he muttered to himself. He stretched, and his expression turned sharp and focused. "Now, onto the main event!"
He dove into God Domain. Within ten minutes, he reached the 56th floor, tracked down a mini-boss, and finished it off. His Divine Power counter officially crossed 500,000!
He logged out of the game and reappeared on the uninhabited island.
"Let's begin!"
Without hesitation, Seito stepped into the air and flew toward the heavens!
BOOM! Dark clouds swirled, and thunder rumbled. The moment he began to condense his Godhead, the sky warped. The golden, six-pointed star patterns in his blue irises began to erupt with blinding radiance!
Seito gripped his Space Dragon Blade in his right hand while the Dimensional Cube manifested around him. Whoosh—! The cube split into twenty-six segments, orbiting him like a shield. As they spun faster and faster, they fused into a translucent spatial barrier.
BOOM! BOOM-BOOM!
Bolts of lightning, like furious dragons, lashed down at him. Seito didn't flinch. He began to burn his Divine Power to forge the Godhead. He didn't use his Kamui to deflect the lightning; he needed every ounce of his mental focus to pull the energy inward.
Divine Power Burning!
He felt as if his blood was being ripped from his veins—the agony was excruciating. He bit down hard on his teeth, cold sweat drenching his brow. Because Seito was condensing his own unique Godhead, the process was far more complex and painful than for an ordinary mortal.
To become a god, one had to shed their mortal flesh and bone, replacing them with divine blood, divine skin, and divine bone!
Gods are omnipotent! Those who do not ascend are but ants!
Gods are unspeakable, unseen, and unheard! Gods transcend all, possessing true Authority!
Seito's mortal blood was drained away. And in the next second, he felt a golden spark ignite deep within his very core!
