Chapter 214 Curse of Love
"Shadowcrest? Are you from the Cursed Continent, Moonlight Empire?" Alistair finally remembered.
The ruling family of the Moonlight Empire is surnamed Shadowcrest.
It's just that he rarely heard it, so he didn't remember for a while.
"Indeed, the ruler of the Moonlight Empire is my father," Liam said with a smile.
"So it is. You two should have known each other from the beginning," Alistair said, drawing a conclusion.
After all, his sister couldn't possibly have met a significant figure in the Arcane Continent in just a few short years.
Alistair also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the Battle Goddess of the Naxus continent was not really humiliated.
After all, he still hated people from the Arcane Continent.
The thought of having people from his origin marry people especially from the Arcane Continent, made him grit his teeth.
...
While the three people were reminiscing and talking about the wedding.
Maximus, who was silently watching, heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, you're a bit knowledgeable," he thought, seeing that Alistair didn't speak his thoughts.
The pressure Alistair felt earlier was from him.
Before inviting Alistair, he had already thought of the possibility of him recognizing Amara.
After all, they had been in the same era and continent.
The chances of recognizing each other, even in their reincarnated forms, were high.
As for why others didn't notice it, like one of the Apex Sovereigns, Fealan.
Maximus was not sure, maybe they had already noticed, but they just didn't say anything.
After all, for them, as long as it didn't reach their level, they didn't care much.
Maximus was worried about Alistair because he was known as one of the most reckless Apex Sovereigns in history.
Who knew if he would blow up the wedding, in the heat of a moment?
Thus, as soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he quickly mobilized his power and pressured Alistair.
Although it seemed that he was only Tier 5, while Alistair was Tier 6, the magnitude of power between them was vastly different.
Even if Alistair was a reincarnation of an apex sovereign, Maximus could crush someone like him between his fingers like an ant.
"Husband, what are you deep in thought about? The wedding ceremony is about to start," Erica urged him.
"Oh, right." Maximus also began to concentrate on the wedding ceremony.
Soon, Liam and Amara participated in the traditional wedding customs of the Origin Domain.
After exchanging vows of oaths, they greeted each other's parents and friends, receiving congratulations.
Then, a party follows, as they eat and have fun.
With the manor doors open, many shameless students joined in.
They took this as an opportunity to indulge in the luxurious food.
After all, Tier 8 and Tier 9 food was a significant nourishment for these less fortunate students.
Of course, gifts were indispensable.
Maximus gave the Origin Mana Pool as planned, and his wives presented their crafted gifts to the newlyweds.
Liam's mother, Erica, gifted a bunch of baby-nourishing food, expressing wishes for early children.
This left the couple embarrassed, imagining their children in the future.
Liam's siblings were more straightforward, giving baby toys, clothes, or even direct monetary gifts.
Lux quoted that having a family is expensive.
Thus Lux gave a family gift package containing magic crystal worth about a hundred trillion.
This generosity shocked the siblings very much.
Their stingiest little brother can give such a big amount of money?
Of course, Lux is not so generous, it was the income he earned in just a few days after the Aetherium Pavillion promotion.
Just a few days earned him a hundred trillion, how can he just stay silent and not brag about it?
With the monetary gift, Liam and Amara became supper rich all of a sudden sending a wave of envy.
Especially the students who spontaneously joined in.
They were shocked at such a generous gesture.
They wish they also have such a brother.
By then if they married once a day, wouldn't that make them the richest man?
Alistair's gift was straightforward as well—a sword nourished by his soul.
After all the ceremonies, the couple returned to their own house, not in Maximus Manor but beside it.
As official students, they had the option to rent a house of their own.
Liam, wanting to create a private space for himself and Amara, chose to live separately.
Upon returning home, two people observed them intently.
"It's really the same," a lady remarked, comparing the breath in the crystal with Liam's.
"It should be the man our goddess is looking through!" her companion replied.
"We should report it quickly!"
These two were from the Divine Continent, they were one of the believers assigned to look at the Origin Domain.
Initially, they were a little hungry, but seeing that there was a wedding giving free high-tier food, they eagerly joined in.
Who knew after coming in their detection crystal crazily vibrated?
Quickly sending a message to their goddess, they couldn't help but feel excited.
After a while, a reply came through:
They were tasked by their goddess to continue gathering all the information they could from the man.
...
Meanwhile, in the Divine Continent, Elysian Domain:
After Elysienne sent her believer a follow-up order, a smile formed on her lips.
"I didn't expect to find you so quickly," Elysienne said, already imagining killing the man and breaking the curse of love.
"Liam, Liam, Liam, I found you so quickly," Elysienne unconsciously muttered.
"Not good!" Elysienne's face darkened as the curse of love grew stronger.
"What did that bastard do to make this curse so strong?" Elysienne thought, not daring to think the name of the man.
Every minute she did so, it seemed that the curse became stronger.
"I need to end this quickly."
Elysienne couldn't just depend on her believers any longer.
Using the previous Goddess' stored money.
Elysienne quickly contacted a top intelligence organization in the Arcane Continent.
Spending a few quadrillion magic crystals, in just a few hours, she obtained the information she needed.
From every move, family member, hobby, like, relationship, friend, etc, Elysienne could only say that the money was worth it.
Browsing the information, instead of a smile, the frown on Elysienne's face became gloomier.
"A core student? The most talented in this generation?"
"What a fucking rich second generation." Even a goddess like her began to curse at Liam's background.
Although it may not seem like it, a core student has a higher background than them, the new gods.
Furthermore, being the strongest in a generation is no joke; it's already equivalent to a quasi-high god.
"What do I do now?" Elysienne thought sadly.
She felt the curse of love becoming stronger.
If earlier she had a few thousand years, now she didn't even have a year.
The curse of the zealous witch, seems to be reborn, helping the curse of love become stronger.
The situation nearly drove Elysienne crazy.
As for why it suddenly went crazy, it's probably because she read the part that the bastard of a man is married.
This drove the Curse of Zealous Witch crazy, magnifying the curse of love.
If she didn't do anything, she would be assimilated into her authority in less than a year.
"Do I seek help or go directly?" Elysienne pondered.
But considering that bastard man's background, Elysienne had no other choice but to seek help.
Coming to the God Domain, in the Council of Gods.
Elysienne met up with Lady Ruliana again.
After explaining her problem, Elysienne waited anxiously.
"So you found the source of the problem, huh?" Ruliana muttered as she read the information about Liam.
"Unfortunately, we can't help you," Ruliana said with a sigh.
"If it's just a core student, there's no need to worry about offending them. But this one is different."
"The Supreme God often talks about this man named Maximus."
"Such a man is something we can't offend because of some a new god," Ruliana said ruthlessly.
"Is there nothing you can do?" Elysienne asked.
By now, she was already haggard, with deep worry in her eyes.
Knowing that her end is near, she is very unwilling.
"There is nothing we can do."
"Furthermore, don't think of attacking personally," Seeing that Elysienne's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, Ruliana warned.
"As a new god, even if you went crazy, you can't kill even an ant in the City of Arcana," Ruliana added.
The City of Arcana is not called the safest place in the Etherium Realm for no reason.
The Etherium Realm can be destroyed, while the City of Arcana would still be alive and kicking.
"Then should I just wait and die?" Elysienne said wryly.
Just becoming a god for a few decades, she didn't even achieve any of her goals yet.
"There's still a way," Ruliana suddenly said.
"What way?" Elysienne asked hopefully.
"Just marry the man," Ruliana said straightforwardly.
"As long as you don't go crazy like the previous Goddess of Love, you should be fine," Ruliana advised.
According to the investigation of the Council of Gods.
The previous Goddess of Love was assimilated by her authority because of the instigation of Oragon, the God of Desire.
Such a thing is quite common in the Divine Continent.
Each god of the same nature of Authority often fights to the death, hoping to assimilate each other God's Authority.
The Council of Gods didn't forbid such a thing, as it was the only way to become a high god.
Without making your authority whole, one is just a pseudo-god.
Elysienne's eyes seemed to show confusion as she listened to Ruliana's advice.
"M-marry?"
