Combat Maid Harem

Reavire's heart pounded heavily.

At the same time, she noticed the difference between the Lawrend in her memories and the Lawrend before her. Although the two had many similarities, they were not the same.

Once that thought reached her heart, she frowned.

"What? You don't like to be called my woman?" Lawrend asked, not knowing her thoughts.

Reavire continued staring at him. His face, soul, and aura matched the Lawrend in her memories. She already knew that that wasn't him, but it was undeniable now.

"If there is a chance, do you think it would have occurred?" she asked, her voice sounding depressed and lonesome.

When he heard her words and saw the look on her face, Lawrend knew what she was talking about. He looked in the distance and at the towering tree reaching the heavens.

"Before I answer that, can I ask you a question, too?"

Lawrend's voice sounded gentle, and Reavire's guessed the worst.

"What have I not answered yet?"

"Do you want to make the illusion real?"

The wind blew and lifted Lawrend's hair. His eyes reflected clouds under the sunlight.

"Are you saying…?"

As a Goddess, she already had a grasp on what he tried to say.

"Yes. I also want to know if what I'm feeling for you is real, and the way to do that is to set a version of ourselves into the world without remembering anything," Lawrend said.

His idea was simple. The two of them would use the power of their souls to create an illusionary world where the two of them would meet and see if they would fall in love with each other.

"This… is detrimental for you, is it not?" Reavire asked.

If Reavire found that she didn't fall in love with him in the illusion, then it would shatter the feelings she felt right now. It would completely change how she looked at him. She might even attack him.

She looked at him with a worried gaze as the feelings in her heart shook.

Lawrend turned to her and looked her in the eyes.

"I, Lawrend Horiel Ignis, am not afraid of challenges. I have always risked my life for my women. If we're really fated to have a battle, I won't shy away."

The sun's rays shined between them, witnessing the determination in Lawrend's words. His experiences in the Human and Spirit Worlds shaped Lawrend into who he is today. He was no longer the idiot from Earth.

Reavire watched his face. Her eyes sparkled in delight as her interest in him grew stronger.

'He really is not like the Lawrend in my memories… He is better than him.'

Tears streamed down her eyes, and Reavire knew that this might be the end of her happiness. Even a Goddess like her couldn't calculate the feelings of two people.

There was a reason why the soul was under the universe's control and not by the world. Its complexity could never be understood. Perhaps it may be possible for stronger gods, but a Shattered God like her could never.

"I want to wait until you are a God," Reavire said, her emotions stirring up tears in her eyes. She wanted to give him a fair chance because she hoped that he would win if they had a battle.

At the level of a Shattered God, the soul could be molded freely—all emotions, memories, personalities, and habits. If her altered memory were returned to normal, she would definitely act completely differently.

"That is not needed," Lawrend replied.

He lifted his right hand and cupped her cheek. He wanted to turn the illusion into reality.

Lawrend initially thought of changing the history of the Human World. It would have worked, but it would not have changed the history of the Spirit World or those like his maids, who would be excluded since they were under his protection.

He didn't want to change their memories.

Lawrend also came to realize that he might have to change the history of the whole universe, but that would require the Creator's help and an unimaginable amount of power that he might not even reach.

Besides, if he let things go like this, problems would arise sooner or later. Lawrend knew this because he had a lot of experience with his maids.

"Since I can't change the universe, I will make a new story for us. It will be our truth, and it will be our foundation," Lawrend whispered.

"Lawrend…" Experience exclusive tales on empire

This was the first time Reavire mentioned his name ever since he changed her memories. A bubbly feeling rose in her chest, and her heart wanted to escape her body and be with him.

"You never know. I might reach enlightenment and become a God after this."

Lawrend winked at her. His unmatched confidence struck another chord in Reavire's heart. It was why Lawrend could do crazy things that would have killed anyone else, like removing all the mana in his body.

"Let's do it."

Reavire nodded. She took hold of his other hand and intertwined it with hers.

A bright light covered the two of them. It started from their hands and quickly enveloped their bodies. At the same time, a seemingly invisible strand of natural law descended from the universe and connected the two of them.

No one could hear it, but a voice echoed in the whole universe.

"Lawrend, Lawrend… You keep surprising me. I'll allow it. I'll allow you to visit another universe."

In a distant place beyond the scope of this universe, a young man sat at the edge of a cliff. Standing before him was a whole universe filled with life and the occasional destruction.

A strand of a natural law appeared from nothingness and descended into the universe.

"A story? Of whom?" the young man asked, his voice lacking a clear tone. It was just like the Creator. He sounded old, young, girlish, and manly at the same time. No one could tell for sure if he was actually a young man or androgynous.
