When Victor returned to the capital, he was taken away from his original location by the knights led by Gwen.

At that time, Gwen entered combat mode in the training ground in order to verify his identity.

They used a very powerful attack on him.

In the end, Victor successfully withstood Gwen's attack and passed her authentication.

But this also put me into combat mode, and I saw the level displayed above Gwen's head.

Lv79.

This level is undoubtedly close to the realm of the supreme god, almost equal to Gwen, the invincible Valkyrie in the original timeline.

In the original timeline, Gwen, as the invincible Valkyrie, had reached level 80.

However, this does not mean that the current Goddess of Justice is inferior to the Supreme God in terms of power.

As one of the gods who eventually left the human world, she still left behind many fervent believers.

Its combat power is by no means inferior to those so-called supreme gods.

Victor speculates that the divinity of the Goddess of Justice has not yet fully merged with Gwen's.

Because Gwen still retains the last shred of humanity and emotion.

It is precisely because of this remaining humanity that she still harbors the desire to marry Victor.

Otherwise, if Gwen were to completely merge with the goddess and lose all human emotions...

How could she possibly remember or care about her engagement to Victor?

Through his conversation with Kevlar, Victor learns more about Gwen's experiences over the past decade.

That's what Kevlar told him.

“Gwen left the Empire shortly after your death… uh, after you left.”

Kevlar kept recalling, even though she might not remember all the details of those ten years.

But what happened ten years ago still leaves a deep impression on her.

"Actually, I don't know where she went. She just told me she wanted to get her things back."

"She first returned to the Empire on the northern border, when the northern barbarians attempted to breach the border by using two awakened giants."

"And she used only one sword to cut off the heads of two giants."

Kevlar recounted this history with great emotion.

It was as if Gwen's heroic battle scene was being recreated before my eyes.

"The heads of those two giants still hang on the northern city wall, serving as a warning to the barbarians to never dare to offend them again."

Actually, Viktor already had a premonition when he heard the beginning.

In the original storyline, Gwen lost her last remaining family member due to Kefla's death.

So she accepted the power of the goddess of justice and became a vessel without emotions.

In the main storyline, demons invade, and Gwen leaves the Empire.

Many years later, Gwen returned to the Empire and ruthlessly slew the demon.

From then on, she became the empire's ruthless knight of justice.

In the current timeline, to prevent Gwen from becoming the ruthless knight of justice she once was, Victor saves Kefla.

Today, Kevlar is still alive, which has changed the course of Gwen's fate.

So the only possible reason why Gwen became like this is because of him.

From a gamer's perspective, if Gwen wants to transform into a ruthless knight of justice.

The prerequisite for achieving this condition is to sacrifice the most important person in Gwen's heart.

Since Kevlar is still alive, Gwen sees the deceased Viktor as the candidate to unlock this condition.

In the original story, Gwen obtained the goddess's power under the guidance of the goddess of justice in order to avenge Kefla.

In this way, once it comes to 'revenge'...

After Victor's 'death', Gwen also sought revenge for him.

Therefore, just like in the original storyline, she gained the divine power of the goddess of justice.

The timeline fits perfectly once again.

Thinking about this, Viktor pondered and said softly:

"If nothing unexpected happens, Gwen has obtained the true [Scales of Justice]."

Upon hearing this, Coco was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in shock.

Yes, that's right.

According to Viktor, it all makes sense.

Why did Gwen suddenly become so powerful? And why do people think her power is reasonable?

Because Gwen received the power of the goddess of justice.

Moreover, Gwen, who has always acted in the name of justice, is like a true goddess of justice, so naturally no one questions her power.

"Then, after Gwen and I finish our wedding."

"That very night, she might end my life."

Viktor's tone was unusually calm, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.

However, Cocotte was puzzled by this.

"Goose? What does that mean?"

Why was Victor so certain that Gwen would kill him after the wedding?

They loved each other so much, there couldn't be any irreconcilable grievances between them, right?

Did Viktor always seem like a villain to Gwen?

After all, the goddess of justice only punishes the wicked.

She was beginning to feel that her brain wasn't working properly.

But then, Victor frowned slightly and looked at Cocotte with an expression that seemed to look at someone who didn't understand.

"Don't you know what humans do after they get married?"

After carefully considering the sentence, Cocotte's face turned bright red.

She realized what was happening.

“I believe Gwen will accept me, but I am not so naive as to think that a goddess would tolerate human blasphemy.”

Viktor continued calmly:
