As if it were a recurring nightmare, none of them wished to hear the barrier break again because it always heralded trouble. Eric and Antur, taken aback by the sudden appearance of the black pole, rushed to prevent the barrier from shattering. At the same time, Ainspenser, who emerged as soon as the alarm sounded, left the safety of the barrier to confront Andy. "You despicable bastard!" she roared. Wasting no time, she launched an attack the moment she spotted Andy in the air. The memory of her son's death in her arms fueled her fury. "That's the expression I'm eager to see!" Andy greeted. He managed to block Ainspenser's whip without being burned by its fiery assault. Having spent time leveling up, he felt more confident in his ability to engage in a prolonged battle this time. "Die, you bastard, die!" Ainspenser roared, relentlessly striking her whip at Andy. The forest behind them caught fire due to her relentless assault. She showed no signs of fatigue, but her aggression sud

Gaige pointed at the scattered scraps of the black pole in the yard and some on the roof and said, "Cleaning is more necessary." This snapped the others out of their daze, and Axel gathered the courage to inquire about what had happened to Gaige. "Boss, what happened during your trip?" he asked. Gaige still appeared visibly upset, which made the others feel somewhat awkward as they awaited his response. Meanwhile, Gaige was considering retrieving the dropped cake, but he knew Patal wouldn't allow him to eat something from the ground. With a sigh, he abandoned the idea of the cake and instead approached Ainspenser, resting his head on her shoulder. "I became a saint. The reward will arrive later this month. He said that since we want them to return with their original memories and personalities, reviving them will take time," Gaige explained as he absentmindedly rested his hand on Ainspenser's chest. "Does becoming a saint mean you have to practice chastity?" Anniston asked. Ainsp

Having a religion or faith in a god is essentially unnecessary for those who live solitary lives, and none of them realize that their devotion is a futile effort. Since their souls will cease to exist after death, most gods show little interest in them. Additionally, single-lifers have the shortest lifespans among all living creatures, making it unappealing for gods to watch over them. The primary purpose of the gods on Earth is to protect single-lifers from the demonic race and preserve Earth's exclusivity for these individuals. However, most of their time and attention is focused on the savage world, where everything occurs to the extreme. In light of this, even the prayers of the priest in their own temple go unnoticed by the gods. The priest continues to pray beside Gaige, but apart from blessing those seeking baptism and marriage, he possesses no powers or authority. Nonetheless, he is the most devout of all Earthlings who serve in the name of Lumeire, firmly believing that his

When it comes to beauty, Minka bears striking similarities to Gaige's first love. Minka possesses a well-proportioned figure, standing tall and slender. Her long black hair cascades down past her waist, with locks framing her face and reaching her chin, accentuating her high forehead. Her dark brown eyes are adorned with long, voluminous eyelashes, set against a backdrop of pale skin. A narrow waist complements her very ample bosom, which Gaige finds himself captivated by. In contrast to his current wife, the only attribute Gaige truly appreciates in Ainspensser is her prowess in the bedroom. He's never shared an intimate moment with Minka, and with the princess, every romantic encounter demands utmost caution due to their secret affair. Ainspenser undeniably possesses beauty, but it falls short in comparison to Minka and Bettine. "Turn your gaze away from her, or I'll pluck your eyes out," Ainspenser whispered, her jealousy of how Gaige looked at Minka growing palpable. Although Ga

Rowan, Minka, Howl, and Straz found themselves momentarily speechless in the meeting room, confronted by the reactions of the others to their concerns. A brief silence hung in the air before Minka broke it. "Is everyone brainwashed?" Minka questioned. Rowan nodded in agreement, sharing her suspicions. The video they had watched and the stories they had heard had done little to convince them that nothing was amiss. They couldn't easily trust the words of those they believed were being manipulated. "Perhaps they used those children to manipulate them?" Straz suggested. "You're likely right, and not just Gaige but the others too," Howl concurred. "Then what should we do?" Minka inquired. The three turned their attention to Rowan, awaiting his thoughts. However, before they could delve further into the matter, the sliding door of the meeting room slowly opened, and three children peered inside. "Hello, uncle. Where did Papa go?" Anric asked, but before the adults could answer, Lambe
