"Xiao Zi, did you see that?" The Goddess of Life's voice was soft.
"The Destruction God Armor and the Life God Armor... actually fused."
The God of Destruction nodded. A flicker of surprise passed through his purplish-red eyes, but there was more satisfaction than anything else.
"I saw. It's the first time I've ever witnessed something like this, too."
The Goddess of Life placed the leaf in her hand back on its branch, then turned to look at the God of Destruction.
"This child fused our God Armors. What will his godhood be in the future? God of Destruction? Goddess of Life? Or... Creation God?"
The God of Destruction stopped laughing. His purplish-red eyes rested on the Goddess of Life, and he fell silent for a moment.
"It doesn't matter what it is. What matters is that he's our successor. That's enough."
The Goddess of Life was taken aback, then smiled.
It was a faint smile, but a gentle one.
The God of Destruction reached out, put an arm around the Goddess of Life's shoulders, and drew her a little closer.
The Goddess of Life didn't resist. She leaned against his shoulder and gazed at the azure planet below.
"Xiao Lu."
"Mm?"
"Once that child becomes a god, we can retire." The God of Destruction's voice was soft, touched with a rare tenderness.
"Then we'll have a child. A whole bunch of them."
The Goddess of Life's face flushed slightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense." The God of Destruction was perfectly serious.
"I've had it all planned out for a long time."
The Goddess of Life's face grew even redder. She reached out and pinched him at the waist.
"Can you talk properly?"
The God of Destruction hissed at the pinch, but didn't pull away.
