Village Head's Debauchery
Chapter 1341 - 1341: Soul Genesis Crafting (4)

"But don't worry; even if you get ahead of yourself, I'll protect you from those vixens."

She wrapped her arms tightly around him and kissed him fervently along the sides of his neck until it left a mark. Of course, Orion allowed it; otherwise, there was no way her attacks could have even scratched him.

Then, she let go and returned to her previous position.

"I'll see you again when I reincarnate, husband," Margona said.

A flash of light enveloped her body as it began to transform.

Reynold and Oberon, who had been observing the entire scene from behind, couldn't help but ponder whether they should also enter into a relationship.

If they had a partner, they wouldn't have faced the burdens that led them to this point alone. They could have shared the weight, making the entire ordeal much easier.

Such thoughts had never crossed their minds before, but now that one had regained his true body and the other was about to, the possibility lingered, awaiting their decision.

Of course, there was one thing they would have to be cautious about: not to overdo it like the Supreme Leader, who was shouldering the emotions and weight of all his partners simultaneously.

Simply put, they weren't as capable as he was. His accomplishments were irrefutable and etched into reality itself, so their admiration wasn't baseless.

Ilse observed without expression. She sighed inwardly in relief.

The light quickly faded, revealing Avarielle, who had now taken control of the body.

"It seems I've interrupted your little moment," Avarielle said, her tone cold and her face expressionless.

Orion shook his head. "I was comforting her. She needed it. And I meant every word I said," he replied, catching the inquisitiveness behind her gaze.

"I heard about what happened when you were cleansed by the Vylkr energy," Orion said. "Even if I can understand how you feel, I didn't go through your experience, so I might never truly know how much of a weight you had to carry all that time."

"But you're the reason why I, Anara, Selene, and several others were able to reunite with our races. I want you to know that your achievements aren't just tied to the Vylkr energy. You're one of the reasons why Paradise still stands today."

"You should already know all of this by now," he added, staring at her with a gentle gaze. "My guess is that you wanted to make Naka experience the same pain and suffering you went through. And now that you can no longer freely use the Vylkr energy, that chance is gone. That's the source of your anger."

"But there's something you need to always remember from now on: this isn't just your battle to fight. It's ours... it's Paradise's. Trying to face him alone only shows that you don't trust the rest of us to handle him properly. We're in this together, aren't we?"

Orion watched as tears streamed down Avarielle's cheeks.

Her lips parted as if to speak, but no sound came out.

Suddenly, her voice broke free.

"HICCC... HICC... It won't be the same. I wanted to put him through exactly what I endured before I learned to tame this curse," Avarielle said between sobs.

Orion gently suspended the seeds in the air and pulled her into a firm embrace.

"Do you think that even after I ascend to a true god, I wouldn't be able to shoulder the burden you carry?" He said.

Avarielle shook her head. She tried to respond, but no words came to mind. Instead, she simply wept.

"We'll carry this burden together. Don't let it weigh down a goddess as incredible as you," Orion reassured her.

He held her quietly. They remained like that for five minutes until her tears gradually slowed.

Wiping away the remaining streaks on her cheeks, Avarielle raised her head to look at him.

"I never expected that, at some point in my countless lives, I'd be comforted by someone whose entire existence doesn't even match mine," she said, locking eyes with him.

Orion rolled his eyes. "Why do you all keep bringing that up? If you'd like, I can reincarnate again just so I can discuss my former life. And how exactly do you even measure eternity?"

Avarielle chuckled and shook her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I meant... you're amazing. I'm not just saying that to praise you. You… are… amazing."

Orion nodded, slightly awkward. He genuinely didn't know how to receive such a compliment.

Watching this exchange, Reynold and Oberon quietly made a decision, they, too, would choose partners to rise and fall with, just as the women in Orion's life had.

Ilse smiled faintly as she watched the scene unfold before her.

As much as she had once disliked the two ancient goddesses, they would now be seeing eye to eye often. They would need to get used to each other.

Their pasts may have been cruel, but it was best to leave behind everything that could hamper their future or the futures of those around them.

As for Naka, they had already unanimously decided that his fate would be crueller than everything they had faced put together.

"I am ready," Avarielle said.

Orion nodded and extended his left hand, retrieving the seed.

He then positioned the second seed in front of Avarielle.

Avarielle reached out, placing half of her essence into it, tearing a portion of her soul in the process.

Orion took the seeds and placed both of them on a branch at the top of the White Flame Cosmic tree.

An hour later, the seeds fell down to the roots once more. Silver-white cosmic sap emerged from the roots and flowed into the seeds.

A similar process as before transpired.

Suddenly, Avarielle felt her body was dissipating. It was as if the world itself was rejecting her, taking action to erase her.

The vessel she inhabited could do nothing to protect her.

She gave Orion one final look and nodded. She scattered into particles of light like a fragile shell peeled off from the body and flowed into one of the nurtured seeds.
