Chapter 457

No matter what, since things had developed to this point, there was no way to continue like this.

Even though the rumored Goddess of Destiny had changed Shien's understanding of her and made Shien feel a little heartache, Shien felt that if he didn't stand up and say a few words, there would be no need to get married.

It wasn't because she objected to it, but if he didn't say anything when she came to his engagement party, then what was the point of getting married?

If that happened, he might as well change his name to Shien 'Coward' Boztut.

So, Shien stood up.

"You're Lydas, right?"

As soon as he came up, Shien directly called her by her name.

This startled Lydas, and also made the expressions of Sylar, Ai Yi, Anima, Anci, and Rosie change.

The difference was that Sylar and Ai Yi became interested, while Anima, Anci, and Rosie were a little worried.

Anima was worried that Shien would be angry.

Rosie was worried that Sean would be impulsive and say something rude.

Anci's reason was simple. He was just worried that Sean would offend the greatest goddess of the Protoss.

Only Lilith looked at Shien calmly, as if she would support Shien no matter what he wanted to do.

Under such circumstances, Shien spoke.

"I want to ask you, Goddess," Shien said nonchalantly, "What kind of existence are well-wishers to you?"

Lydas answered this question without any hesitation.

"Of course, they are children worthy of love." Lydas said without hesitation, "Especially Rosie. She is obedient, excellent, and such a special existence. I can even treat her as my real child."

"Real child?" Shien couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't know what Lydas meant by this sentence.

However, Shien only wanted to say one thing.

"Since you care so much about Rosie, I want to ask you, since you have been opposing this marriage since you appeared, have you asked for Rosie's opinion?"

Sean's words could be said to be quite blunt.

"This …"

Lydas was speechless.

Shien immediately followed up with another attack.

"You didn't ask for Rosie's opinion at all, yet you unilaterally rejected this marriage. Don't talk about being a god, you're not even a human, right?" Shien said sarcastically, "Or does the Goddess think that she is above everyone else, that she controls everyone's fate, and that a mere mortal who has been blessed has no right to object?"

As soon as these words came out of Shien's mouth, everyone realized something was wrong.

Because, this was no longer a matter of speaking rudely, but of offending someone.

"Shien!"

"Boztut!"

Rosie and Ansy couldn't help but shout.

Not to mention Ansy, even Rosie didn't dare to continue listening to Shien.

After all, no matter what, Lydas was the pinnacle of the Protoss, an Omnippertansen powerhouse. If he really offended her, he would be in big trouble.

Moreover, Rosie didn't want to see too much conflict between Shien and Lydas.

This was because Lydas was not only the Goddess who had always protected her, but also the one who had always treated her well, allowing her to receive many special benefits and care.

Rosie's position in the Protoss was so special, not only because of her own factors, but also because of Lydas's care.

As such, on one side was her lover, and on the other side was the object of faith and care. Rosie naturally didn't want the relationship between the two to be too bad.

This was also the reason why Rosie didn't dare to express her opinion. She was worried that her words would provoke them.

However, before Rosie and Ansy could say anything, Sala and Ai Yi spoke.

"Don't interrupt."

Ai Yi said in an unquestionable tone, causing Rosie and Ansy to shut their mouths.

"I think what he said is quite right. Let him continue."

Sala was even more eager to see the world in chaos.

"Okay."

Lilith didn't know if she understood, but as long as she felt that it was beneficial to Shien, she would nod.

Under such circumstances, Anima hurriedly spoke.

"Actually, Lydas respects the thoughts of her well-wishers." Anima explained, "Like Princess Rosie, when she refused to live in the Realm of Gods, Lydas was also very reluctant, but in the end, she respected the wishes of her well-wishers and didn't interfere too much. Her other well-wishers didn't want the existence of a god to interfere too much in her life, so Lydas also endured the heartache. Even when she found out that she was being ostracized and targeted by the nobles in the Royal City, she still didn't do anything."

Anima's explanation didn't move Shien. Instead, it moved everyone else.

"Another well-wishers?"

Rosie was surprised.

"The Goddess of Destiny has another well-wishers?"

Ansy was equally shocked.

Sala and Ai Yi were also very surprised.

"There's such a genius in the human race?"

"And in the Royal City?"

Sala and Ai Yi both fell into deep thought.

No one present knew that Lydas had another well-wishers, and this well-wishers were far away, yet close to the Royal City.

This surprised everyone.

Only Shien knew that the person Anima was referring to was Tierre.

However, this was also the first time Shien knew that the Goddess of Destiny had been paying attention to Tierre. She even knew that Tierre had been ostracized and targeted in the Royal City.

It seemed that, as Anima said, the Goddess was very concerned about her well-wishers.

However, concern couldn't be used as an excuse.

"In any case, I feel that the Goddess should give me an explanation." Sean crossed his arms. He did not feel that he should respect the other party at all. As if he was in fear and trepidation, he said calmly, "In any case, I have not done anything against reason and nature, nor have I offended the Protoss. My marriage with Rosie was only set with the approval and permission of the royal family and the kingdom under the condition that we were in love with each other."

In other words …

"There was nothing unreasonable about my engagement banquet, so there's no reason for it to be denied or objected." Shien spread his hands and said, "Of course, if the Goddess thinks that we humans shouldn't have any complaints about this, shouldn't question the Goddess's actions, and that the Gods should naturally affect other people's lives and disturb other people's affairs, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

After that, the whole place suddenly went silent.

Everyone seemed to have nothing to say and fell into silence.

"Well said."

Ai Yi clapped her hands in delight.

"Yes, it's reasonable and well-grounded. I think it's well said."

Sylar also smiled sweetly.

The two Devil Race powerhouses seemed to be itching to see the Goddess of the Divine Race embarrass herself, and they were even more happy to see the Human Race resist the Divine Race.

In fact, as demons, they would indeed feel happy to see the three goddess-like existences being humiliated in front of the humans.

For a long time, the humans held an attitude of worship, faith, fanaticism, and even brainless reverence for the Protoss. Almost no one had ever rebelled against the Gods.

Especially in this world, the Gods and humans were very close. The Gods also truly existed and had been protecting the humans since ancient times, causing the humans' belief in the Protoss to be deeply rooted. They had never doubted or doubted the Protoss.

In this way, how could the old rivals of the Demons not feel happy to see the Protoss being humiliated in the hands of the humans?

However, Shien's words were indeed reasonable and could not be refuted.

"Ugh …"

Tears welled up in Lidas' eyes once again, as if she had suffered a very heavy blow. Her tearful expression made Shien feel like he was bullying a child.

Anima also smiled bitterly.

She naturally knew that what Shien said was reasonable.

But as a long-time sister, Anima knew that although Lidas would sometimes be influenced by a strong sense of mission and responsibility, causing her to lose control of her actions, her intentions and character were not bad.

Moreover, although Lidas was the strongest and the original Protoss, she was always rash and clumsy. In fact, whether it was the gentle Anima or the dignified and polite Nadura, they all treated her as a younger sister.

So …

"How about this, Mr. Shien, I apologize to you on behalf of Lidas. What do you think?"

Anima said very seriously.

"Let … let the Goddess of Life apologize?"

An Xi felt terrified.

This was not something that could be joked about.

As one of the three Goddesses, Anima had a high status and could be said to be one of the top figures in this world. She was also a true Goddess. Letting such an existence apologize would only make people feel like they were being humiliated.

But Anima had already made up her mind to do so.

There was no helping it. Lidas was very stubborn. Even if she realized her mistake and regretted it, she would only bear it with a wronged expression and not choose to compromise.

Since that was the case, she could only compromise on her behalf.

Anima did not think this was a bad thing to do.

Firstly, Anima was a very gentle and reasonable person. If she really did make a mistake, even if the other party was a beggar, she would still sincerely apologize.

Secondly, Anima was the Goddess of Life. In her eyes, all life in the world was equal. Unless she had fallen, she would not maintain her identity and think that she was superior to others.

Thirdly, Shien also had the right to receive this treatment.

No matter what, others might not know, but Anima knew.

She knew that the man in front of her was not an ordinary person, but a true Hero.

Facing Heroes, the Protoss always held respect.

As goddesses, it was not difficult for them to lower their heads to the brave.

However, just as Anima made up her mind, the aggrieved Lidas spoke.

"Anima, don't apologize."

Lidas wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and immediately after, she actually said such a thing.

"I did this, I will do it myself."
