It's similar to the sentiment of "Madam, you don't want your daughter to be taken advantage of either!"
After much internal struggle, Artemis, subjected to such a vulgar threat, had no choice but to bow her head and admit defeat.
Seeing her struggling to breathe and her limp body pressed against his chest, Eugene laughed twice, then opened a portal and flashed back to the bottom of the forest.
"Lady Artemis!"
The familiar voice called out, and Artemis looked up in alarm, only to see that the six girls in her kin were still safe and sound.
Her gaze swept over her delighted retinue and she noticed that the area was encircled by towering wooden vines to protect them from the onslaught of the frightened beast horde.
"Small things."
Eugene readily let go of her and casually gave her an OK sign.
This actually makes things a bit confusing.
She let her worried relatives surround her, but her heart was filled with complex emotions.
Yes, who says that going against God necessarily means becoming a scourge to the world?
Does not being a hero in the eyes of others necessarily mean one is utterly wicked?
It was at this moment, after verifying that their own god was intact, that the girls began to criticize Eugene's sudden actions.
He was quite easygoing and didn't seem annoyed at all; he simply embellished the story and made it up.
In the story, he became the demon-slaying hero that the goddess had been waiting for. Just now, the hero used the great power bestowed by the goddess to destroy the legendary scorpion in one fell swoop, bringing complete peace to the world.
"Really, really?"
Everyone was very skeptical of this unreliable playboy and turned to look at Artemis for confirmation.
Her expression froze for a moment, then met Eugene's malevolent and detestable handsome face. As a result, her attitude, which had just softened a little, sank to rock bottom again.
Ah yes, yes, yes! You are the great hero, the savior, okay?
Reluctantly acknowledging Eugene's bizarre story, and also forced to accept the identity of "savior," Eugene successfully won the girls' favor.
The group left the still-dusty jungle, and Eugene thoughtfully carried Artemis on his back because of her extreme weakness.
Hmm, this little body is so soft!
……
That night.
Artemis's Familia Headquarters.
In a private study, the male god and the woman sat facing each other and talked.
"What are your plans next?"
Hearing the joyful celebrations from the people on the street, which could be heard even from a great distance, Artemis felt a deep sense of melancholy.
Despite his resentment, it was indeed Eugene's strength that dealt with the demonic scorpion.
The black monster's power was beyond her imagination as a goddess. If she relied solely on the strength of her own clan, she would have to make countless sacrifices to achieve it.
Or perhaps, it's simply impossible?
"How long has the lower realm been in chaos?"
Eugene was happy to have a good talk with his prisoners.
Judging from the novel's description, the Heavenly Realm (Li Dehao) remains a mysterious place, and many secrets about it are still unknown to others.
However, one thing is certain: it's very boring.
Hestia, this god of otaku, was so bored that she could stay at home for hundreds of years without ever going out.
These ageless male gods are so bored that they don't bother learning anything new; instead, they're obsessed with peeping at goddesses taking a bath.
Well, now that you mention it, it's actually God who's being boring.
"The human world changes very quickly, and the gods like to see this change, so they descend to the human world, right?"
Eugene's fingertips tapped steadily on the table, but his tone gradually rose.
"Rest assured, I will destroy all those changes that your gods favor."
"Under my rule, the world will be whole, becoming a brand new train traveling on its tracks."
"All heroes, all their families, will perish."
"I will keep moving forward until I have driven all the gods and their traces from this world, leaving not a single one."
344 From now on, you won't be able to escape my grasp! Wahaha!
Drive out all the gods and all traces they left behind.
Such seemingly delusional remarks stirred up a storm in Artemis's heart.
Because she understood that Eugene had that ability.
Unless all the gods unite their power to attack him, relying on Andaris's devouring power and the divine power of the huntsman, even Uranus would not gain any advantage with those eyes containing infinite power.
Why do you say that?
Artemis pursed her red lips, feeling somewhat aggrieved, even though most gods still cherished their own kind.
They did do something, and the immortals of the ancient hero era are the best proof of that.
“You’re going in the wrong direction.” Eugene noticed her thoughts and waved his hand with a smile.
"I did this not because of simple good or evil, but simply because of my own greed."
"I do not want any life form of the same level to coexist with me in this world. If there is, I will either kill it or banish it."
"To put it another way, if this were the heavens, my goal would be to become the supreme ruler of all the gods, and my personal strength would surpass that of all the gods."
"If there were a master like me, I would never feel at ease."
Artemis's eyes widened. This guy was so arrogant. There were countless gods in the heavens, and great gods emerged one after another, but she had never heard of anyone who could cover up the sky with one hand.
Furthermore, if you become the only dominant player, wouldn't you attract attacks from the others?
After expressing his thoughts, Eugene sighed and rubbed his forehead again.
He smiled helplessly and said, "You are still bound by the so-called fate of heroes. Fine, I don't expect you to understand."

"But in fact, a wise and benevolent emperor who has been remembered throughout history is never a hero who shares the fate of others."
"Contrary to the pure soul that your God expects, he will be cold and even despicable, only devoted to what he has, rather than loving all living beings."
"Companions, friendship, love—these can all be discarded in the face of absolute self."
"Only in this way can we carry out our ambition to the end."
The First Emperor, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Ming all ascended to the throne with a mind that was never confused.
They went through countless hardships to reach that position, and in order to consolidate their status, they did not hesitate to sever the ties of the past.
This is completely contrary to the ideas of the Sage of Six Paths in the Naruto world.
Which is the right world: one built together, or one built by one person?
Looking into Artemis's eyes, which shone with shock and were saddened by incomprehension, Eugene sighed softly.
Indeed, no matter what one says, it is difficult to change God's will.
There's no way around it; the impact of such a magnificent and turbulent history as that of China is beyond the comprehension of the indigenous gods of a narrow world.
He changed the subject, which had become a bit heavy, and started flirting again.
"Don't worry, no matter what, you can't escape my grasp."
"well!?"
The goddess, now under someone else's control, was indeed startled. She immediately realized that she was Eugene's source of power, and even if all the (bieb) gods were banished, he would not let her go.
No way?
Do you really want to spend your life with this kind of scum?
A wave of reluctance instantly washed over Artemis's face, so much so that it diminished her beauty by a third.
"Is it really necessary?!" Eugene roared inwardly, but seeing the high and mighty Virgo Goddess so humiliated was rather interesting.
His heart warmed, and he began to recount the story as if it were a treasure trove.
"All the male gods are out of here, except for you, and Asteria, Hestia, Athena, Hephaestus..."
"Wow, the more I count, the happier I get!"
"Scum! Beast! Shameless!"
Artemis, enraged, grabbed a cushion from the back of her chair and started hitting it, completely abandoning any semblance of her divine dignity. This tantrum made Eugene laugh heartily.
He will probably enjoy this for a long time to come.
Well, as for the fun tonight, we'll have to wait and see. If we push too hard, this woman won't be easy to appease.
After spending another day in the Great Forest, Eugene first used his clones to clear out a large number of monsters, and then infused the girls of the Artemis Familia with the cursed seal power researched by Orochimaru.
Through this degraded version of Sage Mode, their strength can be pushed to its limits even further.
Of course, the most important thing is to enhance one's self-control.
"It seems that I can now store magic."
By attempting to store ninjutsu in scrolls, similar to the method used in the Naruto world, Eugene successfully mass-produced the level-up techniques.
This gave him another layer of means to strengthen his subordinates.
Having summoned Chardo, who had been reduced to a mere tool, Eugene no longer intended to restore his sanity.
Although this doesn't allow for an upgrade, Chardo, who already possesses peak level 8 strength, combined with the advantages of Edo Tensei and Eugene's other enhancements, has already reached the threshold of level 10.
He can be considered the strongest human in this world in the true sense, even comparable to Albert, the sword king who blinded the black dragon in one eye, Ais's father.
"Alright, it's time to settle the score with that bitch."
Eugene's eyes sparkled with barely suppressed excitement.
In Artemis's eyes, his back was a complete and unknowable chaos.
