Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem

"..." Zach stared blankly at the kneeling deity.

"'!'" Yanael and Alzara stared in shock at the rude intruder. Who did they think they were to act so presumptuously in front of the two of them?!

"Uh, what is going on?" Zach eventually found his tongue again and managed to ask what was on his mind.

"You have an open slot, do you not?" Her voice had changed. It sounded like it was coming from her mouth now, and Zach could finally confirm it was the voice of a woman.

"...I do. But why do you want to take it? Isn't it a bit insulting for a deity to serve me, a mortal human?"

"Why? Are you insulted?"

"No, not at all. I'm extremely honored. I'm so honored I'm not sure I can accept." Zach hurriedly denied Soara's claim that he was insulted since he could tell that her tone had changed again, and this time he could tell how it had changed. She was not a fan of Zach not accepting her.

"I am giving myself to you as a reward. If you do not accept, you will not get anything else." Soara's voice was harsh.

"Honestly, I'm fine with that. What Yanael and Alzara got was more than enough."

"..." Soara was silent. She had thought Zach would want more. People always wanted more. She couldn't quite understand why he was so reluctant to accept her as well.

"...It is so that I can keep an eye on you and deem you worthy of resuming the twelfth Trial when you are ready." She came up with a reason.

"I see. That would be easier if you were by my side." Zach spoke slowly while considering Soara's words and the situation.

"...As long as this is truly what you want, there are no hidden intentions, and you won't hold a grudge, I see no reason not to happily accept you, Soara." Zach reached out with a hand to the kneeling deity. It just felt right doing it.

Still, kneeling, Soara reached up with a hand of her own, as pale as death. She grabbed Zach's hand gently with her smooth fingers.

"!" A shock ran through Zach's body. Less than a second later, even the lingering sensation was gone. A little startled, he helped Soara stand up as the light grey robe covering her body transformed.

The edges of the hood and the hem at the bottom folded in on themselves, and the robes fluttered. After a few minutes, a light grey maid dress with white details and frills had replaced the robe, finally unleashing the godly beauty of Soara on the world.

Black hair like the night sky with eyes to match, worryingly pale skin that made her hair glow even darker, and fine features that not even the greatest sculptor could hope to match. Most of her body was still hidden beneath the maid dress. But there was no hiding the obvious fact that she was a woman.

"Master." Soara let go of Zach's hand and curtsied in official greeting while Zach dazedly stared at her. Her voice seemed even more entrancing now that her face and features were visible.

Soara could tell what was going through Zach's mind, or rather how nothing much was going through it. She had hidden her face for a reason, after all. It wasn't purely because she was beautiful, but she understood the effects of beauty, especially the immortal kind on the mind of mortals.

More than one man and woman had been driven mad by the appearance of a deity.

That was why Soara also perfectly understood the gazes of Yanael and Alzara.

"Don't worry, you two. I was not born this beautiful." She couldn't say more than that because Zach was present, but she hoped it would ease some of the two's jealousy.

To her surprise, it didn't. She was a little confused. It meant they could also be beautiful. Wasn't that the source of their jealousy? Wasn't that why they were looking at her like that?

"Umm…" Zach slowly snapped out of his daze by forcefully looking away from Soara.

"...Is it fine to leave the Labyrinth, by the way? Weren't you in charge of it?" He asked. Experience more content on empire

"It is more than fine. I can control it if I want, to a certain degree, but it is fully automated," Soara explained.

"So, you had nothing to do with the Trials?" Zach had to know.

"Not at all, Master. The Labyrinth is fully automated."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Fully automated."

"Because the tone of some of those messages—"

"Fully automated."

"But—"

"Fully. Automated. Master." Soara smiled and blinked in a manner that could have been deemed flirtatiously as she looked at Zach.

"...Okay." Zach dropped it.

Regardless of what had happened in the Labyrinth, the rewards were far greater than the suffering he had endured. Not only had he received two seemingly bottomless wells of information that perfectly suited his two familiars, he had also received his third familiar. As if that wasn't enough, she was a deity. Since he was still low-leveled, she couldn't display her full strength.

That was only natural.

But Soara was a deity. He had a deity as his familiar.

The two Books had been more than enough of a reward for all his suffering.

Soara as his familiar wiped away any memory or trace of what he had gone through. The only thing he would remember in the future was the fact that he picked up Soara at the Labyrinth of Syst.

He wasn't even sure how. He didn't know people could become his familiars like that. But it was probably because she was a deity.

Yeah. That explained it.

She was a deity. He had a deity as his familiar.

Zach was stunned. He couldn't stop thinking about it. It was incredible.

His mind was in a daze as he agreed to be sent out of the Labyrinth now that they were finished. There was nothing else to do here. Outside the Labyrinth, however, there was a lot to do.

He had to brag about his third familiar.
