The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 58

But unfortunately… every time he tried to retrieve a soul and place it in a pre-selected body, the Evil God interfered.

After failing countless times, when he finally succeeded, even a celestial being who had transcended emotions would have been overjoyed and danced.

“Tsk.”

Kiraxus, glaring at the celestial being’s foolish expression, clicked his tongue and turned his head.

He still didn’t like it, but it had already happened, and there was nothing he could do. He had no choice but to prepare even more powerful means to protect Florin in this life.

“Ah, the time I can interfere in the human realm is so short. I wish I could stay by your side longer, but I can’t.”

The celestial being sighed, pressing his forehead against Florin’s.

Kiraxus glanced at the celestial being, whose body was already beginning to turn transparent, and calculated the time.

The time a god can directly interfere in this world is very short. At most, about ten minutes.

‘About five minutes left now.’

Kiraxus decided to make good use of the remaining time.

“It seems Florin remembers Dante.”

“As I said before, regression isn’t perfect. It’s a kind of trick. Time has turned back, and everything has started anew… but even so, strong shocks or memories from before the regression will remain deep in the subconscious. It’s not that the first one disappears and the first one starts again; this is the second one.”

“I see.”

It was a joke-like statement that was difficult to understand, but Kiraxus understood.

It wasn’t that the first life had vanished as if it had never existed and returned to the first. Even though it was a regression, it should be thought of as a second life.

It wasn’t a blank new canvas, but a canvas that had already been painted on once, covered with white paint, and then painted on again.

‘So, the traces of the past remain in the depths of the subconscious.’

Kiraxus, having roughly understood, clicked his tongue.

And at that moment, the celestial being’s voice echoed greatly, as if resonating simultaneously from multiple spaces.

“In the first battle, my Florin won, but unfortunately, she died from a dice addiction… allowing my dear brother to interfere in the world again.”

At the same time, a strange phenomenon occurred, as if space was being separated.

Kiraxus saw himself sitting in the chair and simultaneously recognized himself standing.

Standing on the bridge connecting the human world and the celestial realm, he saw scenes floating in the blue space.

Young Florin smiles. A slightly older Florin jumps into his arms. He hugged her without thinking, but it was just an illusion.

A swarm of butterflies enveloped in light showed another memory.

When Raheen appeared, Florin first tried to become friends. But Raheen had no intention of doing so, and eventually, the two clashed and opposed each other.

On Florin’s debutante ball, Kiraxus was happy to escort her. That greatly stimulated Raheen, and the subsequent events made things even more difficult for Florin.

But by revealing Raheen’s various crimes, Florin achieved victory.

If it had ended here, only a happy ending should have remained. The shadow of misfortune should not have been cast.

“Fath…er. It hurts… it hurts so much…”

Soon, Florin, so thin that her bones were exposed, gasped for breath and clutched at him…

“This is the past life.”

Kiraxus opened his mouth indifferently.

The celestial being, floating with his hand on his shoulder, whispered languidly in his ear.

“When Raheen died, my brother was supposed to be permanently banished from this world. Because he lost the bet with me. But…”

“Florin also died. Almost simultaneously.”

So, there was no winner in the two gods’ bet.

Afterward, the Evil God quickly found a contractor. That contractor opened multi-dimensional gates all over the world, leading to its destruction.

Therefore, the celestial being approached Kiraxus. The only person with power equal to the Evil God’s contractor was him.

However, Kiraxus did not contract with the celestial being. He merely received some help from the celestial being to complete the time-reversal magic.

Finally, when time was rapidly rewound and the very day he first met Florin came again-

Kiraxus, that night.

He willingly contracted with the Evil God.

“Isn’t it funny that even gods have limitations? One incarnation, one contractor at a time. They can’t have more than that.”

“Didn’t you tell me that.”

“To think you’d really contract with my brother as soon as you turned back time. You’re the craziest human I’ve ever seen.”

The only way to prevent the gates from opening was to prevent the guy who could open the gates from contracting with the Evil God.

‘What if that guy opens the gate even though Florin is alive?’

Kiraxus was anxious.

Even after he died, that guy would enjoy eternal life, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t suddenly go crazy one day and open the gate. If Florin’s life became a mess when there was no one to stop him…

Therefore, Kiraxus made a rational and logical conclusion and asked the Evil God for a contract, betting his soul.

Given his personality, which pursued instinct rather than reason, and immediate pleasure rather than preparing for the future, the Evil God would not be able to pass up such a tempting prey as him.

And Kiraxus’s prediction was correct.

‘I secretly took away the dice that my sister had hidden in advance to prevent her from consuming them, and I helped her maintain her human form.’

He subtly manipulated public opinion within the family so that Florin could not help but be loved, and he brought in Salones Aidaho, who would be a great backing for her.

The Evil God, having contracted with him, would not be able to contract with the guy who opened the gate.

It would be too much to handle both of them.

Wouldn’t this be enough to change the future?

Even if his soul was thrown into the deepest part of the seven hells after his death, Kiraxus had no regrets now.

All obstacles have been removed in advance, so Florin will win in this life as well. And Florin will live happily.

“Ah, I have to go now. If I delay any longer, my brother will find out that I met you.”

It is not strange for a god to descend to meet his incarnation.

So, he could temporarily deceive the Evil God’s eyes by using the excuse that Florin was here, but if he dragged it out any longer, he would surely notice something strange, so it was time to retreat.

“How is sister doing?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. Now that I’m alive again, I understand. My sister’s death is suspicious.”

It would be the last time. If he missed this opportunity, he would never face a god again.

The reason why the celestial being descended this time was also to give Florin divine power…

So, Kiraxus asked the question. It was a question that had lingered in his heart for a long time.

“Hmm.”

The celestial being pondered for a moment.

Kiraxus was a human who had approached the truth and secrets of the world very closely. His power had also reached infinity, so he should now be called a demigod rather than a human.

“Well, I can tell you a hidden story. But you won’t be able to tell anyone about it while you’re alive. You might be better off not knowing.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“If that’s the case… I’ll show you.”

Knowledge becomes pain. What cannot be shared becomes karma, and you will suffer throughout your long life. Nevertheless, if you choose to see the truth directly, I have no choice but to show you.

“Ariadne is…”

An unfamiliar building appeared in Kiraxus’s vision. The gray, cloudy sky, the energy of the decaying land, and the cold, foreign taste of the wind filled the air.

“…it was a mutual exchange. To bring that child’s soul back, a soul of the same weight had to leave this world.”

The explanation ended there.

However, Kiraxus intuitively realized.

That world is where his sister came from.

My sister has returned to where she came from.

Rather, it’s a good thing. It was very like my sister not to look back at those left behind. So, she will surely be doing well there too.

“This child will also know all this truth the moment she meets her adversary. You may be less lonely then.”

The celestial being’s last whisper echoed faintly as if it were coming from a very distant place.

With that, Kiraxus was pushed back into reality with a sound like glass breaking.

‘…Did I return?’

The body he suddenly inhabited again felt heavy. A very unpleasant sensation came over him, but he showed no sign of it.

The only time he could escape the influence of the Evil God he had contracted with was when he was in the celestial being’s realm. He could not avoid the watching gaze for even a moment, except for that fleeting moment when he confused the Evil God’s vision with the celestial being’s power.

An eternal prison, both in life and in death.

Even so, Kiraxus truly did not regret it.
