Discussing marriage?
Gladys had just left the information gift box when she received such exciting news.
The system transformed into a cute little elf, sat on Gladys's shoulder, and said in a congratulatory tone, "Wow, congratulations, host! Your marriage has received the approval of three gods. This is unprecedented. Host, you will definitely be happy."
Gladys: No, wait a minute, she hasn't figured out what's going on yet.
I won't talk about Lola anymore... What's going on with the other two gods? Why are they suddenly concerned about her marriage?
Confusion was evident on Gladys's face. Laura lifted a strand of her red hair and twisted it around her pale finger. "Don't worry," he said to her. "The Lord will explain it to you."
Gladys: "...Okay."
The Lord's deep voice reminded one of the pecking of fluorites in a mountain spring. He slowly spoke, "Gladys, as a witness, I am responsible for explaining this to you."
"You have become the Queen of the Heretic God... Originally, the God of All Creation, who created you, disapproved of this marriage. However, due to your special status, and considering that a marriage between you, the daughter of the God of All Creation, and the Heretic God would help reduce the conflict between them and maintain peaceful coexistence between light and darkness in the world, we have decided to facilitate your marriage."
"Furthermore, you've chosen to learn the secrets of the Evil God..." The Lord God paused, then spoke in a joking tone, "This proves that you've chosen the Evil God. The Evil God is indeed a very good choice. We all approve of your marriage to the Evil God."
As the Lord God's words fell, the expression of the God of All Things changed again and again.
As the benevolent and tolerant God of all things, the God of all things often maintains a very divine calm appearance.
Now, it was a rare moment when His expression changed so drastically and became so confused.
The expression of the God of All Things clearly showed "I don't agree with this marriage", but, in a rare move, he did not interrupt the Lord God.
Before Gladys left the information gift box, Laura reached an agreement with the God of All Things.
Laura suggested that He would control the dark creatures in the future to prevent them from over-proliferating and eroding the world...
It was also proposed that all dark creatures that did evil should be imprisoned in the Abyss, and the Abyss should no longer be open to the public, to prevent innocent adventurers from being seduced and lured into the Abyss by the dark creatures (except for special times, to ensure that the Abyss creatures have extracurricular leisure time, such as when there is a bloody full moon, they can leave the Abyss).
It also proposed that all dark creatures living outside the abyss need to record their identity numbers and unite with the kingdom, providing these dark creatures with opportunities to work, reform themselves, and jointly maintain world peace.
In addition to these, Laura also agreed to many harsh conditions proposed by the God of All Things, such as after Laura was with Gladys, He would share lifespan and divine power with Gladys, and even share control of the abyss when necessary... Even if Gladys didn't like Laura and wanted to leave, she must be let go, unconditionally.
The evil god made many restraints and reached an agreement with the God of All Things, thereby obtaining the God of All Things' consent to the marriage.
However...the agreement was only superficial, and the God of All Things was unhappy in his heart.
The God of All Things secretly looked at Gladys, feeling a little complicated in his heart. This was clearly a soul created by him... If possible, he would like Gladys to be with the Son of God or the elves, rather than with the evil god.
When the God of All Things looked at Gladys, Gladys was sitting in Laura's arms.
Gladys had just left the message box, and her feelings were still mixed and bitter...
When she nestled in Laura's arms, Gladys's inner emotions became calm, like running water, flowing slowly and delicately soaking her heart... She felt at ease.
"Gladys, since you are already his queen, our proposal now is just to make your identity more official." The Lord God continued.
"But as the person involved, we need your consent, otherwise the marriage will be stalled. It can be said that the final decision is yours."
"So... little girl, do you agree?"
The God of All Things and the Main God looked at Gladys at the same time.
The system elf sitting on Gladys's shoulder also blinked and looked at Gladys.
Gladys raised her eyelashes, and Laura's golden eyes set off her appearance.
Gladys couldn't help but feel a little nervous...this scene...
Gladys took a deep breath and chose to display the aura of an evil witch who was ruthless and talkative.
"Agreed," said Gladys.
After Gladys finished speaking, the black branches and leaves spreading throughout the space immediately subsided...
The main god breathed a sigh of relief, the god of all things had an unpredictable expression, and the system elf clapped his hands excitedly as if he had hit something.
Laura's slightly tense shoulders relaxed. "He" looked at Gladys with deep golden eyes and smiled, "You finally agreed with me."
Strange... Lola clearly didn't do anything to Gladys, but when Lola looked at her like that and spoke to her in such a nice voice, Gladys felt her throat a little dry.
Gladys couldn't help but reach out and hug Laura.
So, after Gladys agreed, she had an official marriage with the evil god Laura under the witness of the God of All Things and the Main God.
Since it is an arranged marriage, the marriage cannot be discussed in a short time. Now we have just confirmed that the marriage can proceed smoothly.
Matters concerning the wedding, prayer ceremonies to bless a smooth marriage, etc. will be discussed at the next round table.
The conversation came to a temporary end, and everyone was about to leave. Gladys tugged at Laura's sleeve, glanced at the God of All Things and the Lord God, raised her eyelashes and asked Laura, "By the way, can I talk to them privately?"
Laura raised an eyebrow, "They?"
It’s understandable that Gladys wants to talk to the God of All Things…but what to talk about with the Lord God?
Gladys seemed to be able to sense Laura's uneasiness. She said, "The God of All Creation created me, so I want to talk to him. The Lord God facilitated our marriage... and I have some questions about the mission I want to ask him."
“So I wanted to talk to them.”
Laura looked at Gladys, paused, and whispered, "Okay, I won't stop you."
Gladys tugged at Laura's sleeve again, "By the way..."
"Um?"
"Don't eavesdrop, including don't eavesdrop on my thoughts."
Laura's golden eyes sized up Gladys, as if weighing the pros and cons. Then, under Gladys's gaze, he softened his voice and said, "Okay."
Gladys left Lola and was about to walk towards the Lord God and the God of All Things when Lola suddenly pulled the back of her neck collar.
"Don't betray me."
Laura grabbed Gladys, hugged her waist tightly, and kissed her on the lips.
"Don't do anything bad to me secretly." Laura whispered, with uneasiness in her eyes.
Gladys blinked. "Bad things? Like bringing out my evil witch nature and punishing you for doing bad things to you?"
The uneasiness in Laura's eyes dissipated, and he smiled, "You can punish me however you want."
"Go ahead, talk to them and come back to me."
After getting Laura's consent, Gladys walked before the God of All Things.
The God of All Things had a cold expression, as if he was angry with Gladys. Golden holy light floated around him, creating an aloof and unapproachable aura.
Gladys looked at the God of All Things and asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"
God of All Creation: “Yes.”
Gladys: "Is it because you don't want me to marry Him?"
God of All Things: "Of course."
Gladys said patiently, "But... can you tell me why? Don't you advocate that people enjoy love freely?"
The God of All Things finally looked at Gladys. His voice was slightly cold, "The Evil God was born in darkness..."
Then, the God of All Things muttered a lot of bad things about the evil god.
To sum it up, the evil god is surrounded by dark forces, is gloomy, and has a very strange personality.
After the God of All Things finished speaking, Gladys spoke up, "But he is an evil god, born with the power of darkness, so of course he is eerie."
The God of All Things remained aloof, "So what? It's not possible anyway."
Gladys was silent for a moment.
Then Gladys said to the God of All: "But have you ever thought about this... You were born in the light, surrounded by warmth, and served by holy lights and spirits, but He was born in darkness."
The God of All Things interrupted Gladys, "I know what you want to say, but your words are not enough to make me let go of my hostility towards the Evil God."
"It is true, I was born of light, He was born of darkness."
“But that’s why…I can never let go of my opposition to Him.”
Gladys pursed her lip.
Although the God of All Things is tolerant of the world, He has always been extremely ruthless in suppressing darkness.
Well...it seems that it will take a long time to get the God of All Things to agree, at least it is impossible now.
Gladys sighed and said to the God of All Things, "I now know that you created my soul. Although I really want to call you father, the father in my heart is still the human father who raised me and accompanied me in the real world... So I'm sorry, I can't call you that."
The God of All Things moved his eyelids, and his all-white eyes turned to Gladys.
"In fact, you have betrayed me." said the God of All Things.
Gladys suddenly became nervous. Betraying God...was not a good thing.
The God of All Things paused and said, "But I cannot bring myself to punish my own child. As long as you still hold the aura of the divine power of light, you are a creature of light under my protection, and I will show you mercy."
Gladys bowed her head. "Thank you."
"By the way...and thank you for giving me the Elf Velvet Light." Gladys said again.
"Also, will you attend my wedding with Him?"
The God of All Things: “…” Kill people and destroy their hearts.
Gladys spoke slowly, "Although you were unwilling, you agreed to the marriage without violating my will, allowing me to receive the gods' blessing... No matter what, I am grateful for your actions."
"Okay, don't thank me." The God of All Things suddenly interrupted Gladys.
Gladys was polite and well-behaved to Him...which made Him even more heartbroken.
But the agreement had been made and the marriage was done, and he did not want to lose face as the God of All Things and do something as shameful as going back on his word.
A strong holy light suddenly flashed before Gladys' eyes. She blinked and found that the figure of the God of All Things had disappeared.
"Where did He go?" Gladys was surprised.
The Lord God said, "The God of All Things has returned to his temple. I don't think he'll be back for a while, um... maybe a few hundred years."
"But you don't have to worry about the God of All Things. He only created your soul. He hasn't taken any responsibility for anything. He even threw your soul to me. He's not responsible at all."
Gladys looked at the Lord God.
The Lord God smiled gently, and His silver eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars.
"Lola told me that you wanted to talk to me." said the Lord God.
Gladys paused, then nodded, "Yes."
To be honest... she hadn't forgotten the tone of voice used by the Lord God's consciousness when it pretended to be a system, so Gladys felt a little strange when she looked at the Lord God.
Seeing Gladys silent, the Lord God asked, "What's wrong? Do you regret it? You came to me... because you want me, the Lord God who controls time and space, to change everything."
Gladys: "...Not really. Don't talk nonsense."
"Well, I have a small question I want to confirm with you. You told me before that even if I go home, He will catch up with me..." said Gladys.
“…”
The gods dispersed and the space created by the main god disappeared.
Gladys and Laura returned to the tower.
Gladys was surprised and asked the system in her mind:
"Hmm? Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that the Lord God said that as long as I walked around the table in front of Him, I could go home. How come I am back in front of the tower..."
System: "Did you go around?"
Gladys: "I went around quietly."
System: “…” The host is really obsessed with going home.
[It's like this. The Lord God's dimension has been destroyed by the power of the evil god. If we continue to use that dimension, we will easily fall into the gap between time and space. Therefore, returning to the tower and reopening the portal is the safest option.]
[Host, I'll prepare the portal. You can do other things during this time. Even if it's just packing up all the dried mushrooms, that's fine.]
Gladys: "Okay."
At this time, the sky was clear and the border forest was peaceful.
A black dragon transformed into its giant original form and lay in front of the evil witch's tower.
Gladys: "..." Could this black dragon please move? The trees in front of her evil witch's tower have collapsed. Destroying greenery isn't a good thing, is it?
"You guys are back?" The black dragon was very surprised to see Gladys and Lola. He immediately turned into a cute little dragon cub, without any trace of the momentum he had when he seized the hill just now.
Before, when the portal opened in front of the tower, the black dragon quietly came out to watch the fun.
After Gladys walked into the transfer gate and the portal closed, the black dragon didn't know what was going on, but it was not something that it, a black dragon, could interfere with... Then, the black dragon saw Lola who stayed behind and seemed to have discovered something. His face darkened and he tore through the space and left.
Black Dragon: Wow, what an awesome operation, so impressive.
then......
The black dragon waited for several days. Because Gladys and Lola had not returned, the black dragon gradually became bolder and even transformed into a huge prototype.
Now that Gladys and Lola have suddenly returned, the Black Dragon is very panicked.
Gladys looked at the black dragon cub that was trying to roll on the ground to act cute... She was slightly thoughtful.
Gladys turned her head and tugged at the corner of Laura's sleeve.
Seeing Gladys' familiar little gesture, Laura's eyelids twitched, "What's wrong?"
Gladys said confidently, "I have something to say to Black Dragon Xiaoao. Please step aside for a moment. Don't peek with your divine power, and don't eavesdrop on my thoughts."
Laura: "...Okay."
So, what did Gladys say?
Laura was full of guesses in her mind, but she still respected Gladys's wishes and avoided the question.
Gladys called Black Dragon to her side, "Xiao Ao, come here for a moment."
Black Dragon: ...Why is this human suddenly calling it in the tone of a pet? Wei.
The black dragon cub flapped its wings and half flew, half jumped in front of Gladys. "What?"
Gladys stared at the black dragon and said, "Change into human form now."
Xiao Ao transformed into a human cub and stood in front of Gladys.
Then, a system voice sounded in Gladys's mind, "Wow, host, as expected..."
Gladys said to the black dragon Xiaoao, "Alright, you can leave now. Return to your original form. Go, fly to the sky, break free from your shackles, and become a free dragon."
Black Dragon: ...? Don't talk like that, it'll make me think I've stumbled into some strange organization.
but......
The Black Dragon is indeed leaving.
Not long after, the black dragon flew into the air, transformed into a huge prototype, rushed into the distance, and the dragon's roar resounded in the border forest.
After the black dragon left, the system spoke in Gladys's mind:
[Oh, right, host, just a reminder, the black dragon seems to have taken away the whole jar of shiny fluorite you picked up in the border forest in your cabinet.]
Gladys: “…”
"Are you done talking? Can I show up now?" Black branches emerged from the black shadows, and a black-haired man appeared in front of Gladys. Gladys stretched out her hand and hugged Laura naturally.
"We're all done talking." Gladys said lightly.
"Host, the portal has been loaded... Now open the portal again. Are you sure you want to go home?" the system said to Gladys.
Gladys replied, "Sure."
Then, the portal opened. Just like last time, its frame was carved with lovely patterns and emitted a gradient light like a starry sky.
Scored twice.
The door opens... revealing the starry sky within.
Gladys left Laura's arms.
"Gladys." Laura suddenly called Gladys.
"Hmm?" Gladys turned to look at Laura.
The man looked at Gladys with his beautiful golden eyes.
"I recovered my consciousness," Lola said slowly, "I know everything that happened in the information gift box."
Gladys's breathing hitched slightly.
"Gladys, I really don't want you to leave now. I feel very sad just thinking about you leaving me."
Gladys smiled helplessly. "Didn't we agree to be an optimistic god?"
Laura lowered her head and looked at Gladys.
The feigned calmness on Gladys's face gradually disappeared... Under Laura's golden gaze, Gladys' ears turned red, and unusual emotions rose in her amber eyes.
"You said you like every version of me." Laura whispered, her voice hoarse, "I like all of you too."
"Mister Witch, Master, Friend, Believer, Little One... No matter which one you are, I don't want you to leave."
Gladys said nothing.
Although she left Laura's arms, she never actually took a step towards the portal.
Laura's tone even became cautious as she confirmed, "You like me, right?"
Gladys lowered her head and said, "Yeah."
The black branches and leaves carefully surrounded Gladys, as if holding her, and rubbed Gladys' body carefully and flatteringly.
Laura's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and she rarely showed confusion. "Since you like me and have agreed to marry me, why do you want to leave?"
"Are you unhappy because I didn't hold a nice wedding for you?" Laura's eyelashes trembled.
Gladys suddenly burst into laughter and threw herself into Laura's arms. "No, I haven't even waited for you to give me a candlelight wedding yet. Of course I'm not leaving you."
"It would be a bit strange if you didn't eavesdrop on my thoughts." Gladys raised her hand and tapped Laura's face.
The dark meaning deep in the man's golden eyes... Gladys saw it.
"But the portal is open. I really need to go home and leave here. This cannot be changed. After all, this world is not what I consider home. I will feel uneasy here and will only feel like an alien soul."
Lola hugged Gladys, nuzzled her face, and whispered, "So, you're just trying to appease me on the surface, but you actually want to leave me behind."
Gladys immediately denied it: "Of course not."
Laura was slightly startled.
Gladys grabbed Laura's hand and smiled at her. "I already knew and confirmed it from the Lord God. The Lord God said that you can return to the real world with me. You actually lied to me before..."
"So, I was just punishing you a little for lying to me."
The darkness in Laura's eyes gradually dissipated.
"...Gladys, are you really willing to be my Queen this time and be with me?"
Gladys took Laura's hand and dragged her into the portal.
