A Woman? A Goddess / Time for Some Discipline

Oh, and I also called the police.

Just as Ren was about to finish off the thug and throw him out, a strong fluctuation suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.

Chapter 438 Woman? Goddess

Under Ren's astonished gaze.

The once peaceful space was torn open to a size roughly the size of a person.

Chaotic and bizarre spatial turbulence surged through the world within the crack, and violent energy radiated outwards from the crack like electric currents, extending about a meter in all directions.

Ren is not within the radiation range, so he is unaffected.

Even so, his eyes still held a strong sense of curiosity.

Sure enough, some kind of event occurred wherever the system threw him.

After all, when I last traveled to the world of Strike the Blood, I happened to land near the tomb where the Fourth Progenitor was sleeping.

If I hadn't been thrown there, completing the main quest would probably have been several times more difficult.

And just then...

Ren vaguely sensed something rapidly approaching from within the spatial rift.

Unsure of where he was, Ren narrowed his eyes, and the Holy Sword materialized in his palm, appearing as if transformed into light.

A faint starlight lingered on the blade, ready to strike at the slightest sign of trouble.

Buzz--!

The space shook violently, causing the surrounding houses to sway continuously, and the solid concrete road surface turned into dust under the intense spatial vibration.

Seeing that Ren hadn't made a move, the armed thugs tried to escape while he was off guard, but in their panic, they crashed into the spatial rift, their bodies instantly torn to shreds by the violent energy.

Ren didn't care about such a trivial matter; instead, he was wary of the approaching presence.

Whoosh--!

Before he could even see what it was, he saw an object burst through the spatial rift and hurtle towards him like a cannonball.

The holy sword swung instinctively, but stopped at the last moment.

Because of Ren's dynamic vision, he noticed that what flew out of the crack was actually a woman.

Because the attack was stopped, the woman who flew out from within collided head-on with Ren.

The heavy inertia and speed even caused Ren to take a slight step back.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be smashed to pieces on the spot by his head.

However, before Ren could examine it closely, another incredibly powerful aura burst forth from the crack.

Like a missile, even before it got close, the scorching airflow rushed to this place, and the energy surrounding it even widened the spatial rift.

The spatial tremors intensified, and the area within a ten-meter radius of the spatial rift became uninhabitable for any living being.

Ten meters was enough for Ren to see what was coming.

This time it wasn't a woman, but an arrow.

The arrow shaft was as thick as an adult's wrist, the arrowhead gleamed as if polished, and the feathers at the tail were made from the feathers of some unknown creature.

All Ren knew was that the arrow was very powerful.

At the very least, this was a slightly serious attack from the Demon King.

Faced with the fierce attack, Ren casually slashed it down.

With a swing of the holy sword, the arrow was severed in half in less than a tenth of a second.

The arrow, having lost its kinetic energy, came to an instant halt, then rapidly vanished as it transformed into countless particles of light.

Ren wasn't complacent about this. Instead, he raised his hand and fired Ultra Slash at the spot where the arrow had come from in the spatial rift.

Although he didn't know what happened, he wasn't so kind as to not fight back when someone hit him.

As for who the attackers were, Ren didn't care. He just followed the attack path back the way he came, and whether he hit them or not depended on the attackers' luck and skill.

After returning the greeting, Ren seemed to hear a muffled groan followed by an even more violent surge of energy.

"Oh ho, are you angry?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren also lost his temper.

However, just as he was about to rush in and have a good chat with the person inside, the spatial rift suddenly closed again, clearly indicating that the world's self-repair function had taken effect.

Although he could have squeezed in before the crack disappeared, Ren decided against it, considering the potential trouble that would follow.

What's more, he was holding a woman in his arms.

Ignoring the surrounding terrain that looked like it had been run over by a road roller, after returning the Holy Sword to its storage space, the long and urgent sound of police sirens could be heard from the street outside the alley.

Before the police could find them, Ren carried the woman away.

Any random park.

When no one was around, Ren finally had time to carefully observe the woman he was holding in his arms.

She had long, soft, light golden hair, a delicate and pretty face, and although she looked young, her figure was exceptionally slender and full. The Mount Fuji hanging in front of her, while not as magnificent as Grayfia's, was still awe-inspiring in size and slightly more aesthetically pleasing in shape.

Enveloping the two mountains was a simple, pure white dress with gold trim.

Although it looks simple, it should be quite valuable, but it has many damaged and charred marks.

However, this only added a touch of melancholy beauty to the girl's overall appearance.

The girl had two faint, vertical golden lines on her forehead, and a silk ribbon necklace around her neck, the meaning of which was unclear.

However, Ren's attention was entirely focused on the depression between Mount Fuji.

I don't know why.

He simply thought the woman before him was incredibly beautiful, and a strong urge welled up within him to immediately discuss important matters of life with her.

Although Ren had similar thoughts when he saw such a fierce and beautiful girl before, this time they were particularly strong.

Fortunately, he could control it at will, otherwise he would have already started the amusement park project.

Something's not right. Nine out of ten things are definitely not right.

Ren frowned slightly.

He could roughly guess that the source of his inner impulse was this unconscious girl.

Allure?

Or some other ability?

Although the girl in front of him was indeed very beautiful, having been exposed to so many women in the world of High School DxD, he was unlikely to be easily swayed by beauty.

After all, he could clearly sense that the girl in front of him was definitely not of the "human" race.

Just as Ren was debating whether to waste a bottle of hand sanitizer on her, the unconscious girl suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

"Where am I? No... I've lost too much power. That stupid woman Nemesis was so ruthless! Knowing I'm a goddess who's not good at fighting, she still used her full strength..."

The woman who woke up noticed that her vital energy was rapidly draining away.

The injuries sustained from Nemesis's attack were impossible to heal easily. That wretched woman had coated the arrows with her powers. If this continued, not only would speaking be impossible, but even survival would be in question.

"Man..."

The girl, who had been talking to herself, suddenly turned to look at Ren.

"Although you are just an ordinary commoner, a lowly mortal, you now have an opportunity to change your mediocre life."

"Human, accept the goddess's gift; it is the greatest honor of your life."

"?"

Ren frowned.

He stopped listening to the woman's subsequent words after hearing that he came from a humble background.

Chapter 439 The Need for a Firm Discipline

This woman is beautiful, but her personality is terrible; it seems he'll need to teach her a lesson with a stick.

"Hmph! What kind of look is that? To become this goddess's ride, you'll have to be grateful day and night from now on."

After saying this, the woman in Ren suddenly began to glow.

Of course, more accurately, the white sash wrapped around her waist shone with a rose-like radiance, and then rushed swiftly toward Ren.

Ren frowned slightly, but made no other move, since he did not sense any killing intent or hostility from the other party.

Not to mention...

BOOM!

The shimmering belt struck his chest with a dull thud.

"?"

"???"

Ren looked at the woman suspiciously, while she looked shocked, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"What's going on?! It actually bounced my contract back! Is my power insufficient?!"

That being said, after a moment's hesitation, the woman didn't think it was Ren's fault. After carefully examining the contract on her belt, she once again manipulated it to fly towards the person in front of her, wanting to merge with him.

But this time it bounced back again.

This left her completely dumbfounded.

This also confirmed that the problem lay with Ren's health.

Something within him was blocking her contract.

Ren was also somewhat surprised.

What on earth is this woman up to?

"If you want to give me a gift, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I'll just take it."

After saying that, Ren reached out and took the ribbon in his hand.

At the same time, he casually cast a system scan on the woman in his arms and her belt.

Soon, both names came to mind.

[Character: Aphrodite]

[Identity: Goddess of Love and Beauty (Near Death)]

[Item: Belt of Friendship]

"Goddess? Aphrodite?"

Isn't that Cupid from Greek Mythology?

When it comes to Greek Mythology, Ren doesn't actually know much about it, but he has seen the names and stories of the characters in various popular science articles and fan works before.

The strongest impression left on him was that Zeus was a great stallion.

Athena, Artemis, Hestia were virgin goddesses.

The last one was a girl with a youthful face and large breasts.

Besides that, there's Hades, the God of the Underworld, whom he's preparing to cause trouble in the Netherworld.

As for Aphrodite, Ren's impression of her was limited to her being very beautiful, but she married Hephaestus, the infamous ugly god of Olympus.

Oh, there's another explanation.

Aphrodite was actually the embodiment of Uranus's virginity, but in the later Iliad, she was changed to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione.

As for this "Belt of Friendship," Ren still doesn't understand what it is.

However, it seems to be bound by some kind of contractual power.

So Aphrodite was just trying to force him into signing a contract?

If he were an ordinary person, he would have fallen for their trick by now.

Although Ren enjoys deep conversations with beautiful girls, he doesn't like being deeply involved with them.
