That Is Swearing Allegiance to the Dear

A black-haired beauty with a captivating appearance also emerged from the same bedroom, coming to Rhine's side.

"Your Highness..."

Hela gazed at Rhine with tender eyes. After a night of emotional exchange, her attitude towards Rhine had become more docile and obedient.

However.

Beneath the gentleness, Hela's eyes also held an undeniable guilt.

Hela said softly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness... I did something wrong. I couldn't control my feelings for you. When I saw that mongrel Demigod tempting you, my heart..."

"You don't need to apologize to me anymore, Hela."

Rhine gently sealed Hela's lips with his finger. "You've been saying these words all night, haven't you?"

Hela's guilt had a reason.

The iron rule of the Imperial Guard was chastity, yet Hela had actively broken it.

Furthermore, she had dragged Prince Rhine down with her, making him her accomplice.

If Rhine and Hela had mutually loved each other, Hela's guilt would have been less.

But...

The truth was, last night's mistake was entirely Hela's doing, and the innocent Prince could only helplessly resist the Demigod Hela.

The more Hela loved Rhine, the deeper the guilt gnawed at her.

However...

Regarding this matter, Rhine's expression appeared remarkably calm.

He seemed to have accepted Hela's one-sided, forceful affection.

Tolerant and loving...

"Hela, do you know? The reason the goddess imposed chastity on the Imperial Guard has other reasons."

Rhine took a sip of coffee and then handed the cup to Hela.

"Procreation and breeding do not require the deprivation of the Imperial Guard's right to love. What Order truly fears is the power of love."

Rhine smiled as he looked at Hela.

"Because love will make the Imperial Guard understand that besides believing in Order, their lives can have other choices."

"Your Highness..."

Hela's eyes flickered, seemingly touched.

Rhine's gaze was affectionate, possessing a charm Hela couldn't refuse.

"Hela, you and I are already sinners who have blasphemed the gods. I only hope that when the day of judgment arrives, we can face it together—Oh, and one more thing."

Rhine gently caressed Hela's fair, slender neck.

"[Self-restraint]...[Self-restraint]"

Hela smiled, her eyes no longer showing confusion, only devoted adoration.

"Your command is my everything... my love."

My love?

Hearing this, Rhine's eyes clearly flickered.

Haha...

My love.

When was the last time I heard those words?

Ah, it was when I was backstabbed by some slut.

Rhine affectionately kissed Hela's forehead.

Hela, I'll try to love you too...

Maybe.

.

Hela left.

She said she wanted to try preparing breakfast for Rhine.

However, after she successfully used some unknown magic to obliterate the entire kitchen into a void, she fled the villa like she was running away and went to a nearby town to buy breakfast.

After Hela left the villa.

In Rhine's eyes, golden ripples appeared once more.

Through Enzhu's Dragon Eyes, a very narrow Nether Realm Gate was opened.

Olivia appeared in Rhine's eyes.

Rhine: "Satisfied?"

Olivia's body trembled uncontrollably with emotion. "Peerless Good Work!!"

The Demigod was bewitched, willingly falling into Corruption, their emotions toyed with the entire time, yet they believed they had found true love!

This was truly a show that filled Olivia with heartfelt joy and pleasure!

Olivia was ecstatic.

To be honest.

She was almost overwhelmed!

This deal with Rhine was, besides devouring [lust■] and ascending to godhood, the most correct thing she had ever done!

However, Now that she had enjoyed herself to the fullest.

It was time to discuss Rhine's reward.

According to the contract between Olivia and Rhine, for every Demigod Imperial Guard Rhine made betray their oath and fall into Corruption, Olivia would bestow her highest blessings upon him.

"Speak, Rhine, what kind of blessing do you desire?"

Olivia was in an exceptionally good mood and believed she would generously grant any of Rhine's requests.

"Power? Wisdom? Wealth? Longevity? Just ask, and I will do my utmost to satisfy you."

However, none of Olivia's offers could move Rhine.

"These are meaningless to me, Princess Your Highness."

Rhine had no need for power. His status was that of a Ruler, with six Imperial Guards under his command, and even a newly born Primal Sequence.

Power was a blessing with very low cost-effectiveness.

Not to mention, due to certain predetermined reasons from birth, it was actually difficult for Rhine to become stronger.

Wisdom was also meaningless to Rhine, who had already achieved near omniscience. Besides, Olivia wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed; how much smarter could she make him?

Wealth was meaningless.

Longevity was also unnecessary; even immortality wasn't an immediate need.

There was indeed one thing Rhine truly needed now.

"Olivia, I don't need you to bestow a blessing upon me. How about we settle the cost of this transaction by having you do one thing for me?"

"Do something?"

Olivia chuckled. "Alright, what do you want me to do for you?"

Rhine nodded.

"I want your Demons to corrupt Leta."

Olivia: "That's it?"

Rhine: "Is that not allowed?"

"No, not at all!"

Olivia's eyes trembled with excitement, eager to begin. "Turn all those pointy-eared freaks into shameless whores? I'd do this even if I had to pay for it myself!"

And so, Rhine and Olivia's first transaction was concluded.

Afterward, once he had breakfast with Hela, Rhine would need to return to the Golden Land.

It had been 48 hours since the Golden Land lost its leader and fell into complete chaos.

Based on Rhine's calculations and his observations of the Golden Land.

It seemed...

That thing hidden beneath the Golden Land was about due to make its move.

The chaos within the Golden Land continued.

The Corruption from the Nether Realm had escalated into a physical invasion. A flesh-and-blood mycelial carpet and the shadows of wandering evil spirits spread from the Nether Realm, proliferating everywhere.

The Golden Land was gradually being peeled away from the mortal world.

The Goblins, already disfigured by mutation, seemed oblivious to their physical transformations and continued to fight fanatically.

Without sight, they used fleshy tentacles covered in sharp teeth to tear apart everything around them, friend or foe.

Unable to speak, they used deformed mouths to spit out bullet-like teeth, making their enemies scream in agony.

Even at the end of their lives, they dragged their dead bodies, desperately trying to destroy the enemies in their sight.

The Golden Land no longer existed.

Someone's small action had become the final straw that broke the Golden Land's back.

This chaos has finally allowed the Nether Realm's invasion plan for this ancient god's ruins, a plan spanning tens of thousands of years, to succeed!

Compared to the originally planned Great Day, it's about ten years early!

The demons and monsters of the Nether Realm are ready to descend.

Tens of thousands of years, is simply too long.

The inheritors of the Golden Dwarves, the current masters of the Golden Land, have long since forgotten.

The original purpose for which this Golden Land was built.

If...

the Golden Land exists for [Rhine], then for an ancient god's relic that can "infinitely convert gold into attack power," the Golden Dwarves would spare no effort, even if it meant strangling the life out of the earth, to forge and hoard a massive reserve of gold.

All of this, what was it all being prepared for?

That chilling truth, will be made known to all beings in the mortal world once more today.

In the morgue, the headless corpse of Golsmith, the president of the Golden Land, was tossed into a corner like trash, left to rot.

However, at this very moment, Golsmith's fingers suddenly twitched.

Like a marionette, Golsmith stiffly raised his hands towards his empty head.

Then, a surprised voice echoed from within Golsmith's body.
