No one else was allowed to stay when someone like Lious visited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been fine,\" Ethan replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lious tilted his head slightly, still smiling. \"You don’t look fine though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn’t respond as he reached the small bar in the hall, pouring a glass for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s idea of Lious was that he was a believer of Elohim, but the man was also corrupted to his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, corruption and church went hand in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though knowing about this really helped Ethan know how to precisely behave around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be eager to return to the main base,\" Lious said with a chuckle. \"Father also misses you dearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he misses me so much, why doesn’t he already kill that fucker?\" he rebuked, chugging down a glass of beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lious couldn’t respond to his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was he supposed to explain how much of a threat Himmel was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, Ethan. I hate that guy as much as you do,\" Lious said with a tired sigh. \"But there are some things that you can’t do anything about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan let out a scoff, clearly not pleased by his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just give me a chance,\" he said, his voice filled with hatred. \"I will have his head served on a silver plate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calm smile on Lious’s face did not disappear, but his eyes sharpened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lious had been against Himmel before, and he was well aware of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, he was obliged not to crack the confidence of the Avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that reminds me.\" He stood up and bowed slightly. \"I congratulate you for finding your kingdom’s base. I hope you become an Eternal soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan scoffed, rubbing his eyebrows. \"It’s nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s more than nothing, Ethan,\" he said with a smile. \"Reaching such rank at your age is rare. Even among the guardian families.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Ethan replied, walking towards him. \"You don’t have to state the obvious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting comfortable on the sofa, Ethan looked at Lious and asked, \"So, why bother showing up today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lious slowly got serious as he leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have received news from various resources about the human kingdoms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what might that be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That they are rebuilding the Dortiona Empire once again.\" His words made Ethan pause. \"They are joining forces for the first time since their separation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan remained silent as he slowly put the glass down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been well aware of the Dortiona Empire and their cruelty toward everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dortiona Empire was the very reason the Third Holy War happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dortiona banner has been seen again,\" Lious continued quietly. \"And we fear the worst.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan leaned back slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That empire collapsed for a reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Lious replied. \"Because everyone united to crush it, and it collapsed from the inside because of the mad lover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan tapped his finger once against the glass table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is leading it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is the concerning part,\" Lious answered. \"We don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan let out a sigh as he rubbed his temples in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, is the church going to stop it—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Lious cut him off with a smile. \"Quite the opposite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan looked at him confusedly, as if asking him to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, the princess of Ekari Kingdom, Inës, is already engaged to you,\" he said. \"And the church wants you to continue the marriage and infiltrate the rankings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan looked at him for a long second before he asked, \"....So, you want me to rule over the Dortiona Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lious leaned back slowly, letting the silence stretch just enough to make the weight of it sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We want influence,\" he said at last. \"Ruling would simply be... efficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though worry not,\" he continued. \"You will get your revenge if you just follow along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn’t respond as he stood up and said, \"I will think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for any response, he walked away from Lious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all honesty, Ethan wanted to become an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to have everything, and he wasn’t the one to shy away from snatching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, he was also concerned about who was leading the humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ethan twisted the knob of his door, his world shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His safe house was gone, and instead he stood in a place that had a sky of dark clouds and distant stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned to the side where a man sat on a throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vidar, the God of Vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who had been by Ethan’s side like a guide from the very start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s anger spiked when he saw the god after a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You finally showed yourself,\" Ethan said, holding back his anger. \"Vidar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vidar didn’t speak for a long second as he clearly saw the hatred in the young man’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew Ethan hated him now, he still made contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your life is in danger,\" he spoke, his voice cold. \"In fact, everyone you know might die soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan frowned at his words. \"What type of bul—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The barrier separating heaven and Lumina is cracked beyond repair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vidar cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It won’t be long before gods flock down on Lumina and rule over mortals once again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan stared at him without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he thought this was another test or another manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You disappear for years,\" Ethan said slowly, \"and the first thing you say is that everyone is going to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not here to argue,\" Vidar said calmly. \"I am here because Elohim asked me to warn you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath his feet was smooth and endless, like black glass reflecting distant stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The church will be the first to fall once gods invade,\" he continued slowly. \"The Avatars will be their prime targets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan slowly grew serious, looking through his cloud of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Ethan notice the scar on Vidar’s chest and his missing left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lumina isn’t the only space being invaded,\" Vidar spoke softly. \"Heaven isn’t safe as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....W-why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did something click in Ethan’s mind....the white creatures around Akasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vidar nodded, confirming it. \"The Outer Gods are trying to kill us all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan remained silent as the world began to blur around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A piece of advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vidar spoke, his eyes staring dead into Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Start eating the flesh of mortals... you will need it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1529,"2026-06-05T21:29:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","6647ed175c4848b671c8af10fb1568482ecf054c196a2b60337e924418080c1f","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-548","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-546",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
