"THANK you for coming, Veton," Neoma said, smiling although her eyes were cold. "Now, spit the old bitch out."
Veton let out a purring sound that soon turned into a gagging sound.
The process was a bit disgusting, but it worked.
Soon, Veton successfully spat out the soul of the former Goddess of Fertility.
Larissa fell to the floor, covered in saliva.
[Eww.]
"It's been a while, Larissa," Neoma said coldly. "Do you have a last wish before I bury you?"
Larissa, who tried to act elegant while standing up, raised her head arrogantly and greeted Neoma like the dignified goddess that she wasn't. "It's been a while, Princess Neoma."
"You're already dead, and you're nothing but a Spirit," Neoma commented by observing Larissa's "body." "Babe, can we really use her as a fertilizer?"
Because that was the only reason she let Larissa live all this time.
"Gods who descend on the human world don't have physical vessels, but their Spirits could still be used as fertilizer since our child only needs to absorb divine power from the corpses of gods we bury," Ruto explained. "Fortunately, Larissa hasn't lost her divine status yet in this timeline."
Oh, right.
Ruto took away Larissa's status as a god in the first timeline.
But not in this timeline?
"As soon as I gained enough power to take down a god in this lifetime, I punished Larissa for the crime of helping Helstor enter the Garden of Life," Ruto explained again when he noticed the confusion on Neoma's face. "But that was just an excuse. I was hunting her down when I caught her in the Garden of Life. Hence, I used that to kill her."
"Did she escape?" Neoma asked curiously. "Helstor probably helped that old hag."
Ruto nodded. "It happened after Helstor took a bite of my memories. When he saw that Larissa was one of the gods I hated the most and the reason why, he sought her help by sharing my memories with Larissa. That's why she "remembers" the first timeline."
"I see," Neoma said, nodding. "Babe, you've kept so many secrets from me in this timeline."
"I'm sorry," Ruto said, wrapping an arm around her waist while pulling her closer to him. "I wanted to kill everyone who wronged us in the past without your knowing because I only wanted you to walk the flowery path in this timeline. But I guess it's too much even for me."
Aww.
She could see where Ruto was coming from.
But she wanted to be a part of that revenge.
"You chose to hide in the throne after barely surviving Ruto's attack, huh?" Neoma asked, clapping her hands slowly. Of course, she was being sarcastic with her actions. "I must commend your will to live."
Larissa scoffed at Neoma's words. "If you're going to ask how I got here, then don't waste your time because I have no intention of–"
"Do I look like I give a fuck as to how you got stuck in the throne?"
Larissa looked confused by her reaction. "Are you not curious as to what I did to the now Emperor Nero while I was brainwashing–"
"Nah," Neoma said, cutting off the old hag rudely once again. "Whatever you've done to Nero was in the past. We can always find a cure to whatever curse you put on him without your help."
"You arrogant–"
"Yeah, I'm arrogant," Neoma said proudly. "Now, kindly shut your mouth," she said, stomping her feet on the ground to cover the entire room with her barrier. "Fertilizers don't need to speak, do they?"
"Be careful, babe," Ruto said, letting go of her waist. "Don't push yourself too hard."

"THIS IS UNFAIR!"
That still made Glenn nervous.
"Daddy, we played a lot!" Claude said excitedly. "Regina Noona is good at making toys!"
Haaah.
Glenn's heart ached because of how innocent Claude was.
[I need to find a way to send Regina Crowell to Lord Trevor Kesser.]
***
ACHOO.
Trevor thought it was disgusting when he suddenly sneezed.
He couldn't help it, though.
After all, his entire room was filled with bad odor because of all the blood and the smell of burning flesh.
"Why don't you just kill me?"
That was Dilan Crowell's question.
The perverted bastard who touched his half-sister inappropriately was currently tied on the wall with his legs minced and his arms broken.
Every time the bastard would almost die because of his torture, Trevor would revive him.
Making potions to bring Dilan Crowell back to life was easy.
And it was fun.
"I'm not yet done with my experiments," Trevor said playfully. "Plus, you haven't suffered enough. My client wants me to torture you until you're begging to die."
Dilan Crowell paused for a moment, and then he laughed. "Are you talking about Regina? Is she your client?"
"And what if she was?"
"Then you're being manipulated."
"Am I?"
"She's seducing you, since that's what she does best!"
"Oh, am I being seduced?" Trevor paused, and then he suddenly laughed out loud. "That was the funniest shit I've heard in a while. How could I be seduced by someone I'm remotely attracted to?"
"Then why are you helping Regina?" Dilan Crowell asked back. "Are you the type of person who helps an enemy?"
Ah.
That slowly took away Trevor's smile.
Come to think of it, even though Regina's offer was tempting, he had no reason to help her. Was it just on a whim?
[It's true that her power is amazing, though.]
Dilan Crowell scoffed upon seeing Trevor's hesitation. "You've been duped, Trevor Kesser," he said, sneering at him. "You don't know what Regina's real power is, do you?"
"Then tell me," Trevor said coldly. "Tell me before I cut your body into hundreds of pieces."
