Chapter 228 A Bet
That Ciel said that surprised everyone because even the Gods watching assumed that Roxanne was just saying nonsense.
Did Ciel also say nonsense?
Actually, some people with special observation could sense the terrifying power of Ciel. Those who were at the God First Stage felt that the power was not far away from them at all.
Unfortunately, most people didn't have that kind of observation. Even the Calamity Knight was no different because she was the destructive type.
"Kid, who are you looking down on?" The woman suddenly spoke in a cold and hard voice, as if she was scolding Ciel.
"Don't you believe it, Young Miss?" replied Ciel while looking at her with a faint smile.
In his eyes, her fierce nature was something cute.
"What?" The woman looked extremely shocked after hearing Ciel's answer.
It was not because of his words, but the way he called her.
Young Miss?
What the fuck is that.
"What do you call me?" the woman asked in a very loud voice.
The sky rumbled and darkened just because of her voice.
The problem was that it was a nickname that should have been used for the younger generation or juniors who came from a great background.
Although there was no insult, to Rebecca it was more than an insult because Ciel seemed to think of her as a young woman.
Her appearance did seem young, but she was a God who was almost a Supreme God.
She was a woman of start and might. One should address her with respectful and majestic calls such as Your Majesty, the Knight, the Queen, and the like.
Ciel was not intimidated by the woman's cold gaze.
Casually, he replied, "You should tone down that fierceness of yours, young miss."
Rebecca, "..."
"Kid, you really should die here!"
She raised her scythe, seemingly about to make her move.
However, Roxanne pointed her sword at her.
"Stay there!" she said in a cold tone.
The Mountain God sighed with this kind of situation, looking like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Rebecca was indeed like a tigress, fierce and terrifying.
Coupled with her strength, stopping her was something very difficult.
Even if he was the strongest God under the five Supreme Gods of the Heaven Race, he dared not claim to be able to stop Rebecca.
The woman's talent was too high which was why the Heaven Ancestor chose her.
"Rebecca, please calm down, let the younger generation solve their own problems," said the Mountain God, only able to speak.
Fortunately Rebecca was able to calm down this time, probably because she wanted to see Ciel's claim.
"Break your legs if you fail, do you dare?" she asked.
"Then what if I succeed?" replied Ciel in response.
Ciel was one hundred percent sure, so he was not afraid to bet.
"What do you want?" replied Rebecca.
"I want you to be my wife if I succeed," Ciel replied calmly.
"What?" Rebecca looked like she was about to stagger when she heard Ciel's words, her cold but beautiful eyes wide open.
The same reaction was shown by Derrick who looked younger than Lydan and the others.
"Brat, do you want to die?" he said in a loud voice to Ciel.
His mother was angry, but no one could be more angry than him because he regarded his mother as a very honorable woman.
And Ciel in his eyes was an unpleasant creature. How could he possibly be at peace if such an unpleasant creature was married to his mother.
At this moment, Rebecca's face fluctuated between reddish and pale.
Her breathing became rapid with anger.
She even pointed her scythe at Ciel.
"Kie, are you really impatient to die?" she asked.
Her voice was quieter but much colder, stirring the hearts of many people.
"I heard that the Ice Prince has a bad personality, I didn't expect him to be this bad," said a God who was watching.
"Yeah, I don't understand why Princess Yelina chose him."
"It's obviously a matter of taste. That woman isn't looking for an elegant man, but what she likes. That's why she decided to get engaged to him ever since the Ice Goddess told her about the Ice Prince."
"Doesn't that mean Princess Yelina's taste is very bad?"
"No need to comment on her taste, everyone has their own taste that will make them happy. Perhaps Princess Yelina believes that she can tame the Ice Prince into an obedient husband."
"I'm not sure," someone replied.
Meanwhile, Ciel grinned at Rebecca, seemingly mocking her.
"Are you afraid, young miss? If I fail, you can even kill me. However, I'm sure there's nothing bad about being my wife. You will be happy and content." he said.
He deliberately provoked her because he knew that she arrived very easily provoked.
With her power, who would dare to give her advice when she made the wrong decision because she was provoked by the enemy.
Plus, Ciel actually felt that the woman would definitely fulfill her promise because she was a very proud type of woman.
She would not allow such bad rumors that she did not keep her promise.
Hence, Ciel was confident that if he won this gamble, he could immediately bring that woman to the room.
Sure enough, her cold eyes became even colder.
"Alright, if you fail, I'll chop you into a thousand pieces, and roast your meat to feed my dogs," she said, accepting the bet proposed by Ciel so that people looked at each other.
"Sure, but since I definitely won, you might as well go prepare a room for us tonight," Ciel replied, teasing her openly, something that made her look like she wanted to jump on Ciel.
Ciel laughed before moving towards Lydan and the others.
There was not a single one of them who did not show extreme anger towards him.
How could they not, they were usually always in the spotlight in the Heaven Realm.
Today, they were side characters who looked like a bunch of young fools, gathered for Ciel and Rebecca's bet, a bet on whether Ciel could defeat them all with a single finger.
"Brat, today is the day you die," Lydan said.
At the same time, Derrick took out a scythe similar to his mother's scythe. He said, "You won't just die. Your soul will be sent to hell, tortured forever."
From his expression, he seemed to be the one who wanted to attack Ciel the most right now.
Ciel responded to them with a dismissive look.
Casually, he replied, "advance together so as not to waste time!"
He pointed his finger at them, as if ready to strike them with a single blow.
It was a shame that they had to attack together, but out of emotion, they actually did.
Simultaneously, they released an aura, lunging towards Ciel, producing a loud rumble.
Their combined power was terrifying, but they did indeed attract less attention because people had just seen the commotion between Roxanne and Rebecca.
The glare between them created a much greater devastating effect.
"Die..." Lydan and who uttered that word as they raised their auras, wanted to kill Ciel with a single attack.
"What fools!" Ciel sighed and shook his head.
BANG!
His aura exploded, emanating from his body completely, instantly producing an extremely hot shockwave.
Several nearby continents were pushed away by that shockwave.
People were so shocked that some thought that it was the aura of a God.
When the wave hit Lydan and the others, it was enough to push them far down.
ROAR!
From Ciel's fingers, a loud roar resounded before a six-colored fire dragon leapt outward, as large as a continent.
It lunged towards Lydan and the others, slamming into them before exploding, throwing their figures in various directions.
Everything happened in such a few seconds that people could not digest what they saw.
When they came to, they found the young men of the Heaven Race lying helplessly in various places, covered in burns.
"Demigod Peak, and six Holy Flames," said someone who reacted quickly. "Too scary, a Demigod actually reaching this level."
There were many experts with great insight here, so when Ciel unleashed his power, most people immediately understood what kind of power it was.
They couldn't help but stare at Rebecca now.
And apparently, that woman disappeared from where she was.
No, she didn't disappear, she appeared beside her son, giving him various pills to heal his wounds.
It seemed that all the ones she gave him were high-quality pills. It healed all of Derrick's wounds and cleared all the dirt from his body in an instant.
Even so, the young man seemed to have suffered a minor trauma.
His expression was full of disbelief as he looked at Ciel. He coughed repeatedly.
Of course, Rebecca also looked surprised after she finished panicking.
Her gaze at Ciel was quite deep and her expression showed that she was flustered right now, something that was funny in people's eyes as she was usually always fierce.
To people, her defeat in this bet was like a slap in the face directly.
Since she had already lost, she was basically officially Ciel's wife.
Now the question was whether or not she recognized the bet?
Plus, because of her bond with the Heaven Race, the Mountain God couldn't help but furrow his brows, wondering how he viewed this.
Personally, he didn't really care since this was Rebecca's personal business with Ciel.
Whether she married Ciel had nothing to do with the Heaven Race.
It also shouldn't make the Heaven Ancestor who had made her his adopted daughter uncomfortable.
He gave her the status purely out of regard for her talent, not because of her personal life.
So far, the Heaven Ancestor was an open-minded old man. He would not care about the relationships of the women in his clan with whomever they wanted because overall, the blood of the Heaven Race was always the strongest so the children of Heaven Race women would always have pure Heaven Race blood regardless of who their father was.
That was why the engagement between Yelina and Ciel was acceptable. The only ones who rejected it were the jealous young people.
After a moment of staring at Rebecca, Ciel asked, "Miss, you are now my wife, so do you accept this or not?"
