Taking on Ten with One Punch

The Flowing Clouds carried Wuma Xiu through the atmosphere of Perching Flower Star and landed in the Sea of Flowers.

Wuma Xiu rose from the Flowing Clouds, golden specks of Divine Power scattering gently among the flowers with his movements, startling several translucent-winged butterflies. Just as he opened his arms to stretch, his gaze swept over the most vibrant patch of flowers not far ahead.

His movements paused slightly.

A person is standing deep within a flowerbed.

The man was wearing a gorgeous light red Robe, the hem of which was embroidered with intricate gold patterns.

A rosy, Divine Power glow surrounded him.

He was holding a Red Thread in his hand.

The other end of the Red Thread, its destination unknown, was currently being tugged at by him in frustration as he twisted it around his fingertips.

Hearing the noise, he turned around.

Her face was exceptionally beautiful, with an innate charm in her eyes and brows, yet at this moment it was filled with melancholy.

It was none other than Love God.

Their eyes met, and Love God twisted the Red Thread in his hand into a ball.

--Finally, I met him!

--God of Goddess of Beauty!

Wuma Xiu thought to himself that this Sea of Flowers truly lived up to its reputation.

Unfortunately, he arrived at the wrong time today.

He is the god of love, and all living beings call him the Love God.

Those who believe in Love God, whether devout, shy, or full of hope, will pray for His favor and mercy.

Holding out their burning hearts, they made the same wish:

--May the person I like like me back.

But Love God never grants this wish directly.

In his view, making two people fall in love with a wave of the hand is a low-level tactic, a forced marriage.

What sweetness can come from a forced marriage?

Therefore, what he attributed it to was fate.

Love God will tie a Red Thread between two people.

Once that Red Thread is tied, the two people will meet due to various incredible coincidences.

Perhaps it was a chance encounter, an unintentional glance, or an unintentional physical contact...

This opportunity is a reward bestowed by the Love God.

If that person is caught.

For example, offering a kind smile, saying a caring word, or doing something that touches the other person's heart the moment you meet... and that goodwill will take root and sprout.

The Red Thread of fate grows stronger with each passing year, and they will eventually become a couple.

If you miss it or don't seize it, the Red Thread will quietly break.

When fate runs its course, it's over.

He never gives people a second chance.

This is his duty as the god of Love God.

Day after day, year after year, without ever making a mistake.

As the Love God, he not only has to take care of mortals, but also the Gods.

Love God was often troubled by this matter.

Some gods have such eccentric and outrageous tempers that they defy description.

Aloof, irritable, and obsessive-compulsive.

There are two oddballs who can barely see any other gods except their own younger brother/older brother.

This is a key point to mention.

Some people keep themselves shrouded in darkness all day long, refusing to even show their faces.

There are those who cast a wide net and catch many fish.

Some people only care about fighting.

There are deities whose every word is a lie, whose entire existence is a lie from beginning to end. Who would like such Gods?

Some were even worse; when he personally went to act as a go-between, they not only ripped the thread off but also beat him up.

Love God is no match for this god; he often gets beaten up by him.

In short, these gods are all peculiar in their own way.

Trying to draw a Red Thread between them is harder than grinding an iron pestle into a needle.

But nothing, however difficult, could stop him from Love God.

He is the Deities who governs all love and marriage in the world.

In his hands, no thread cannot be tied, no pair cannot be formed. This pride and confidence are built by Love God through thousands of successes, and are indestructible.

Until the birth of the Goddess of Beauty.

The Love God and the Goddess of Beauty —who wouldn't say they're the same type of Gods?

But the other person seemed quite different from a novice like him.

This is the conclusion that Love God drew when he saw Goddess of Beauty punch a god whose Divine Office Gods didn't know, but who seemed quite powerful.

But at that time, Love God didn't pay much attention.

However, the Goddess of Beauty's face was so striking that he etched it into his memory.

Besides that, there doesn't seem to be anything else.

What truly made Love God remember Goddess of Beauty was that he discovered the Red Thread he had tied to her had broken.

The Red Thread broke.

This was not the first time in his divine life that this had happened.

Even if it's his Red Thread, it's not always a magic bullet.

There are still ways in this world to break his Red Thread.

For example, life and death.

Apart from their Gods, all living beings in this world are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Therefore, it is normal for the Red Thread to break occasionally, but Love God has noticed that recently his Red Thread has been breaking much more frequently than before.

This matter caught his attention.

Through his investigation, he finally found the culprit.

--The Goddess of Beauty.

Love God discovered that the Red Thread he had tied had vanished the moment he met Goddess of Beauty.

His Red Thread can only enhance the connection between two people, but it will naturally disappear if the other person finds true love.

Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times, four times...

Afterwards, Love God was finally forced to confront a cruel truth:

This wasn't an accident; it was their natural enemy.

Back to the present

Love God's clenched fist slowly loosened, and the Red Thread at his fingertips, which had been crumpled into a mess, pitifully sprang open.

He forced a reasonably decent smile.

"Although the Evil God wouldn't tell me where you were, I knew you'd come here. So I've been waiting here. How are you? Happy to see me?"

The Love God was certain when he discovered this planet.

Such a beautiful place, the Goddess of Beauty must come.

This Perching Flower Star, seems tailor-made for the Goddess of Beauty.

The mountains and fields are covered with Sea of Flowers, the sky is so clear it's almost transparent, and even the wind carries a faint floral fragrance.

He didn't believe that the Goddess of Beauty could resist coming.

So he arrived early and waited patiently deep in the flowerbed for several days. He waited until the flowers and butterflies recognized him, and until the old tree full of white flowers shed petals all over his head.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he predicted.

Goddess of Beauty has arrived.

"Love God, it's been a long time. Have you eaten?"

Wuma Xiu asked casually, without the slightest fear in his attitude. He even leisurely picked a flower in full bloom and tucked it behind his ear.

Well, how should I put it?

It's one thing that he didn't want to meet Love God, but it's another thing that he did.

After all, in his eyes, the other party was just a nobody.

The kind that can take on ten people with one punch.

Even if the truth is not on his side, Wuma Xiu is not intimidated at all.

As for reasoning?

When he was the Goddess of Beauty, when did he ever earn a living by reasoning?

Love God pursed his lips and subconsciously touched his hand.

His fists were weak and feeble, like a cat's scratch when he threw a punch. Forget about hitting the Goddess of Beauty; even if he did manage to land a hit, knowing Goddess of Beauty as he did, she would most likely just raise an eyebrow and say, "Not bad, but a little more power would have been better."

If Love God were to hear such words, he felt he would be so angry he would die on the spot.

But why is that?

Why would a Divine Office sounds more like a decorative Gods than themselves actually wield power?

Is this reasonable?

That's completely unreasonable!

Shouldn't beauty be associated with romance, love, and fleeting beauty?

Furthermore, why exactly was he able to give his Lust to her?

He only realized this belatedly after discovering that the Goddess of Beauty was the culprit behind the numerous broken Red Threads of his destiny.

One day he suddenly discovered that he had added [Lust] to his Divine Office. Although having an extra Divine Office meant having an extra bit of power, he was stunned at the time.

He was puzzled, utterly puzzled.

Why is this Goddess of Beauty so strange?
