Feels Like I've Been Cheated On / There's Only Widowhood, No Rejection

"On the contrary, I believe that Ryze and his group were not only not participants, but also actively extinguished the Void Cataclysm in Shurima..."

As an observer, Kevin earnestly defended the students of the Super God Academy.

Since this concerns the candidates for the throne of the Merlot Heavenly Court, Hexi has a natural wariness of these mysterious secrets about Pu Shu, and therefore is not easily persuaded.

However, before Hexi could even open her mouth, Kevin raised his hand and pressed down lightly, chuckling as he soothed her.

"Wait, let me explain my three reasons..."

"First, it's common knowledge that Karl has been expelled from the Super God Academy. Clearly, the Aeon God Kieran, don't agree with some of their beloved student's views..."

"Secondly, the Shurima Empire was destroyed by the Cataclysm of the Void, but the damage it caused seems to have been contained to a very small area, and now even the traces are difficult to verify..."

"Death God Karl, who has always harbored a strange fanaticism towards the Void Civilization, would not erase his experimental results himself."

"In other words, the Super God Academy is very likely the one responsible for cleaning up the mess after this catastrophe; they came to Freyja specifically to clean up this traitor's mess..."

"However, due to the exposure of their spatial coordinates, the Void Creature have likely already marked Freyja's location..."

"To prevent these civilization-ending invaders from returning, the current situation has arisen..."

The man paused, noticing that the gloom on Hexi's face had faded slightly, and chuckled as he continued to offer his speculation.

"Therefore, thirdly, Ryze the Wandering Mage, created the Three Northern Tribes based on the God-Making Gene of his homeland Rune Lands, and gave them the mission of resisting the Void Creature..."

"Perhaps due to the passage of time and the allure of civilization, the Howling Abyss in the northern polar regions has become the latest anchor point for these Void Creature to descend."

After experiencing a series of changes, Hexi became somewhat wary of the Super God Academy, but after careful consideration, she still had to admit that Kevin's judgment was undoubtedly the most based on the facts.

"So, it seems that Queen Holy Kaisa also used the Freyja incident to join forces with the Super God Academy to control the situation and reach an agreement on the succession to the throne here?"

Feeling his mind was in a bit of a mess, Heavenly Foundation King rubbed his temples and muttered to himself.

"But I don't understand, the existence of the Void Civilization is already an established fact, so why not just announce it directly instead of hiding it like this?"

Kevin picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and felt a mix of emotions, even a profound sense of meaning.

"Just Order can be overthrown, but she must never destroy them herself..."

For some in positions of the Ascended, it is harder to make them bow their heads and admit their mistakes than to destroy their physical form.

Indeed, it was true. Dihong Kun of Lieyang Star, wanting to outdo Fu Hua, was willing to disrupt a millennium-long plan, and was ultimately forced to submit only by Kevin threatening the very survival of Lieyang Star...

Odin of the Asgardian Realm stubbornly refused to acknowledge the failure of his children's upbringing, and rarely expressed approval to Hela, Thor, and Loki, even at the cost of causing a rift between the Thor brothers and Ragnarok, which Hela would face...

The previous points were merely simple philosophies of life and education, but the issues Keisha addressed were the very foundation of the Merlot Heavenly Court.

If we agree with Karl's theory of Ultimate Fear, believing that civilization will ultimately face complete annihilation due to the arrival of the Void Era.

Then, what is the significance of the countless angels of the Merlot Heavenly Court in upholding [Just Order], protecting the development of civilization, and maintaining the Cosmic Balance?

Keisha has given almost everything for the current situation and the prosperity of the universe, and the Merlot Heavenly Court has sacrificed countless angels for this great goal.

If the concept of "Just Order" is merely wishful thinking, how can Keisha answer to herself and the countless angels who have sacrificed themselves under her command?

As Kevin's position changed and his understanding of things deepened, Kevin began to understand Keisha's stubbornness to some extent.

Of course, this stubbornness is not foolishness.

At least, while Keisha outwardly disregarded the Ultimate Fear, she was secretly researching a targeted Void Engine and had reached an agreement with the Super God Academy.

Having grown accustomed to a life of slacking off, Hexi was shocked to discover that her best friend's burden was far from light when she took over the affairs of the Merlot Heavenly Court again.

"Yes, Just Order are the beliefs that we angels risk our lives for. If Keisha were to deny even this, the Fourth Order would likely collapse immediately..."

"Instead of creating panic, it's better to concentrate our forces and fully arm the Angel Legion, making it a shield and sword to defend civilization and keep all catastrophes outside the prime material universe..."

Hexi murmured to himself, rubbing his aching brow, and sighed helplessly.

"As for why she chose Anixid as her successor, I think I can guess the reason."

"On one hand, this is an attempt to compromise with the Super God Academy, so that these guys who travel all over the world will keep the secret..."

"On the other hand, if her Just Order fails in its struggle against Ultimate Fear, then it would be natural for Anixid, as her successor, to reject this ideal..."

"At that time, the angels' resistance will be less, and the negative impact will be minimized..."

Kevin stood up to pour tea for Hexi, raising his cup slightly with a somewhat wistful expression.

"However, in doing so, your Holy Queen Kaisa will have to bear these sins and infamy..."

"Hmm, I'd like to toast her..."

Hexi smiled calmly and nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's do it together!"

The two raised their glasses to the distant sky, then drank them down in one gulp. Afterward, they leaned back in their chairs, looked at each other, and smiled faintly.

Hexi squinted comfortably and looked up at the starry sky.

"Think about it, I've worked with that tomboy Keisha for tens of thousands of years, and I still don't see things as clearly as you do..."

"Tsk, I'm quite jealous..."

"This feeling is awful, what do you people on Earth say about it..."

"Yes, it feels like I've been cheated on..."

Upon hearing this, Kevin rolled his eyes, gestured for him to stop, and gave a cold snort of annoyance.

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly!"

"What's with all this 'green' stuff? If you don't understand it, don't use it randomly!"

"Don't make any promises you can't keep, or one day I might actually cheat on you and break you up as a couple!"

Hexi, who was used to arguing with Kevin, was not intimidated at all, but instead showed disdain.

"We've given you a chance, so come on if you dare!"

After exchanging a few playful insults, Hexi rested her head on her arm, stretched comfortably, and looked radiant, as if she had let go of some psychological burden.

Just as Kevin was about to lie down in the chair, close his eyes and take a nap, enjoying the rare peace after days of running around, Hexi's mischievous elbow nudged his ribs.

"Well, let me tell you, after today's conversation, I think I've finally resolved a question that's been bothering me..."

"What?"

Kevin closed his eyes lightly, leaned back in his chair, and uttered a lazy, nasal sound.

"Whether it's the Fallen Freedom or Just Order, these sisters are preparing for the same thing..."

Hexi looked up at the vast starry sky, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Liang Bing knew she would anger Keisha, yet she still went to Kunsa to purify the genes of the local natives. Perhaps she had already found the answer.

Orderly evolution that follows rules is ultimately too slow, and it is not the only answer.

Perhaps, unleashing one's true nature and pursuing the survival-of-the-fittest law of biology is a completely new approach.

"Oh, really..."

Kevin responded with his eyes closed, making a slight nasal sound.

This guy, he knew the answer all along!

Hexi rolled her eyes at her mischievous friend beside her, then turned to the side and poked Kevin's cheek.

"Hey, I've decided, I'll give you a present tomorrow..."

Whatever...

Kevin listlessly raised his right hand to express his languor, then let his arm hang down and rested on the table in a more comfortable, relaxed position.

During this time, he was busy traveling all over the Freyja Continent, while also collecting and analyzing intelligence, which left him quite exhausted.

Hexi's meaningful gaze swept back and forth between the City Lord's Mansion and Kevin's face, as she murmured something under her breath.

I hope my choice was right...

Chapter 1062, Section 1007: Only Widowhood, No Rejection

The following morning, a grand farewell ceremony was held in the valley Yordle City, where various factions gathered in a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

This place was once a sacred site where gods fought each other, though the terrifying crater has been filled in and the dark red bloodstains have been covered by lush greenery.

But this legend and history have continued in various ways, and will likely become a new myth on the Freyja Continent in the future.

As leaders, the Three Northern Kings poured their wine into this land stained with the blood of various races.

The clashes and entanglements of civilizations are, to the silent earth, nothing more than a farce.

Next year, the vegetation here will likely grow even more lush, completely covering most of the traces of the past.

Then, the final three figures —Judgment Angel Kevin, Heavenly Base King Hexi, and Hela —also followed suit, offering a farewell toast to the heroic fallen.

The matter in Freyja is basically over. After this celebration, they should embark on a new journey.

The memorial service should have ended there, but Hexi, contrary to her usual behavior, took Kevin's arm and slowly walked to the graves.

The Heavenly Foundation King slowly drew his silver ceremonial sword, held it upright in front of him, and spoke clearly, his voice reaching the ears of everyone present.

"I, Heavenly Base King Hexi, am willing to become Kevin's Guardian Angel!"

This resounding announcement not only caught Kevin off guard and left him stunned, but also shocked the angels, whose expressions were filled with disbelief.

Unaware of what was happening, Hexi continued to solemnly swear the oath.

She beat me to it! You bitch!

Seeing this, Hela, who was extremely possessive, couldn't help but feel irritated, and a sense of indignation arose spontaneously.

This feeling has nothing to do with romantic love; it's simply that I feel deeply aggrieved because I believe a proud goddess, the owner of this object, has had her mark taken away.

Just as she harbored resentment towards the throne of the Asgardian Realm because of Odin's injustice, rebellion was almost an innate trait etched into her very being.

Hela's two unsuccessful battles with Hexi, and the significance of Kevin receiving Odin's inheritance, had already led Hela to include someone in her possession.

But now, her "master" has been beaten to the punch by another rival who doesn't even see her as a threat, which is really infuriating!

However, the moment Hela had the thought of intervening to disrupt the oath, the surrounding air instantly became viscous.

Thousands of female angels, suspended in a staggered array, echoed each other, forming a tight formation to keep a close watch on the Goddess of Death who had revealed a hint of malice.

Even if they cannot understand or agree with Heavenly Base King Hexi's choice for the time being, the Guardian Oath is something that is almost more precious than life itself for angels.

During this process, no one is allowed to disturb their king.

Hela frowned and snorted coldly, looking at the two figures in front of her with a flickering gaze, her rebellious spirit growing stronger.

"Love what he loves, think what he thinks, bear his pain, and help him through his suffering..."

"Whether poor or rich, whether lowly or noble; whether living in chaotic times or ignored by the gods..."

"I will draw my sword for him and fight, I will fold my wings for him. I will never leave him, never forsake him, forever!"

As the final echo faded, Hexi reached out and handed over the silver ceremonial sword, waiting quietly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kevin solemnly grasped the hilt of the sword and, with the ceremony of being knighted, placed the blade on Hexi's shoulder for a moment to signify the completion of their contract.

As the ceremony ended, the two approached each other. Hexi smiled and winked, then cupped Kevin's face in her hands, holding his head still.

"Don't dodge! This is my first kiss, something that even Sumari under your feet has always longed for. Do you want the same thing as him?"
