Lilith solidified her form, looked up at the two people with their heads down, and smiled.
"You've finally arrived. Raise your heads."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Theresa responded respectfully, then nervously raised her head, but dared not look at Goddess Lilith at all.
She was genuinely scared.
What if the goddess is unhappy with my appearance again and makes things difficult for me?
As a moon fairy with beauty that even goddesses envy, Theresa feels she must keep a low profile.
Compared to Theresa, Rudy was much calmer.
After all, he knew that the goddess needed his help.
Although Rudy was busy helping Octavian boost her performance when he was still Lu Fei, it doesn't mean he knew nothing about the divine realm.
This world is clearly under the jurisdiction of the goddess Lilith.
The appearance of two blood moons would disrupt the stability of the world and pose a danger of destruction.
And from Theresia, he learned that the goddess Lilith had chosen him as a hero.
hey-hey.
Rudy knew that.
Although he was indeed reincarnated.
But he is still registered under Octavian's name.
Therefore, although it is unknown what agreement Octavia and Lilith reached, the goddess Lilith cannot recruit her as a hero if she herself is unwilling.
Becoming a hero means making a pact with a goddess.
Rudy, on the other hand, possesses the ability to refuse contracts.
Even if Lilith wanted to force a contract, it would be invalid.
But why has Lilith's figure shrunk?
She's turned into a loli?
Rudy's expression turned strange.
Lilith glanced at Theresa, then her eyes lit up when she looked at Rudy.
This kid is actually quite good-looking.
Lilith instantly felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Rudy.
With a gentle smile, Lilith's body radiated a holy light, and she spoke in a voice as clear as a stream:
"Rudy, nice to meet you. I am Lilith, the goddess of curses and contracts."
"I'm sure the little vixen over there has already told you the details, right?"
"The arrival of the twin blood moons signifies the revival of more than one demon king. Therefore, to protect this world, we must eliminate all the revived demon kings."
"And you are the destined hero."
"Then, are you willing to sign a contract with me, become a true hero, and defeat the Demon King for love and justice, and protect the world?"
With a soft voice, Lilith extended her delicate white hand to Rudy.
Rudy looked at the small, fair hand in front of him with a serious expression.
"I...don't want to!"
"Very well, let's sign the contract now... Ah, wait, what did you say? You don't want to?"
After Lilith heard his words clearly, her smile froze.
"Hey, you idiot Rudy, what nonsense are you spouting? How can you refuse?"
Theresa stared at him in disbelief.
Didn't I say we should respect the goddess? How could you directly reject her?
Is this courting death?
Lilith's face stiffened for a moment, and veins bulged on her forehead.
She tried her best to control her emotions, looking at Rudy with a forced smile, "Um... could you tell me why you refused?"
"Don't you want to become a hero under my command and obtain your own divine seal? A god-level divine seal, and many other benefits too! Are you sure you want to refuse?"
"Yes, Goddess Lilith, I refuse to become a hero under your command."
Rudy spoke calmly, ignoring Theresa's anxious gaze, and continued:
"As for the reason, it's very simple."
"There are plenty of people in this world who have the potential to be heroes, so why should I be the one to defeat the Demon King?"
"Furthermore, if I sign a contract with Goddess Lilith, I will become your subordinate, right? I'm sorry, but I swore that I would never work for anyone again."
"Um...why don't you reconsider? Signing a contract with me has a lot of benefits."
Lilith patiently offered a word of advice.
"Is it an equal contract?" Rudy countered.
Lilith's face stiffened. "Well, I am a goddess after all. How could I possibly be equal to a human..."
"Then I refuse."
"..."
The smile of Goddess Lilith vanished.
The atmosphere suddenly became somber.
Theresa suddenly felt immense pressure.
Oh no, Goddess Lilith is very stingy.
She's definitely angry!
Thinking about the punishment she might face if Goddess Lilith got angry, Theresa's eyes welled up with tears.
There was a moment of silence.
Lilith raised her palm toward Rudy, and a divine light shone forth.
"Aren't you really going to reconsider? Rudy, you should know that if the world is destroyed, you will die, as will your friends, family, and lover. All of them will be destroyed because of the Demon King. In that case, are you still going to refuse?"
"Yes, I refuse."
Rudy replied again, his tone firm.
"Even if it's a goddess, I don't want to become her subordinate or a miserable wage slave. If it's an equal contract, I might consider it."
"As for the danger posed by the Demon King, I will use my own power and my own methods to protect my family."
"Hmph, arrogant! You mere nuisance! Without the power of Goddess Lilith, how can you protect your family from the Demon King? Human, hurry up and sign a contract with this goddess!"
"don't want."
