Chapter 364 - Rumor
Akaro didn\'t like this set up.
It meant that Yesfir would be with the husband more than anyone. Even if it would turn out to be a false thought, Akaro was a tsundere goddess who obviously didn\'t like it.
However, were the husband\'s knife to get this woman into it, the husband\'s strength would surge!
Yesfir\'s existence seemed like a fairy tale existence, but nothing occurred without proper explanation. At least on their level, her existence was suspicious and once charmed by the husband, she should be used by him.
The knife with this ice woman inside would be like a believer itself. She should be able to strengthen the already divine properties of it, help the husband understand the weapon, but more importantly, learn and use concepts along with it.
If the Ice Beauty\'s destiny was somewhere high up, then this knife might\'ve already turned into her home.
Yesfir faced the husband, "My name\'s Yesfir... I will be in your care." In her eyes, Kyoya could see the confidence. This confidence was related to Akaro\'s setup... Would any normal adventurer or believer think that they could pull it out on their first try?
Kyoya replied, "Yeah. Reach me whenever you have any question and don\'t hold back." He liked that the lady already had something else other than an expressionless mask. This mask not only sullied her beauty, but also made her whole existence more miserable.
Born out of an unknown phenomenon, she had been feeling nothing for more than three hundred years! How could the husband not hug this lady?
It was also what she wanted!
"..." Nestled in the husband\'s chest, Yesfir felt the man\'s touch for the first time. She didn\'t know why she would reject the Ice Master all this time, but in her mind, the thought that Kyoya\'s heart swelled with pride bloomed.
Why would he feel prideful? Was it because no one had ever touched her and so he was her first? "Do you feel pride?" She asked, but Yesfir also asked herself why she would think of this that much!
Didn\'t it feel good? That was all that mattered.
The Ice Beauty just decided to close her eyes within his embrace.
A moment later, the husband\'s voice rang out, "It\'s the pride along with many other emotions. My party is going to be merrier with you as you are odd in a good way. Haha. Besides, you are also beautiful. A male part of me feels very prideful." The husband smiled widely.
His answer drummed within Yesfir\'s head, her heartbeat billowing into something dangerous! It kept drumming within her for so long that Yesfir could no longer enjoy the husband\'s hug. His hands wrapped around her became too much and she felt like she would melt soon!
Such a man was both good and dangerous and Yesfir could only mutter, "So this is a man." She then extended her hand toward the blue knife.
If her action wasn\'t enough, her words just stabbed the soul of the Ice Master! This soul was within the husband\'s possession and he planned to use it for his blue knife later on. Of course, Yesfir would benefit if she were to become the knife\'s soul too...
Fortunately for her, this kind of ability was within her. The moment her finger touched the husband\'s knife\'s tip, a small wound cut and blood oozed out. This blood disappeared within the knife, then her whole body began to turn into blue particles that sealed her body within the knife.
Akaro\'s words rang out, "Did she feel like a human?"
These words perplexed the husband, but he answered genuinely, "Yes. She was warm and soft."
The Goddess looked at the husband from above, as if that was not what she asked for.
A tsundere goddess couldn\'t conceal her emotions from her eyes. The ones that were related to the husband, of course. Thus, Kyoya chuckled and said, "We and Yesfir don\'t know what her origins are. But doesn\'t that make our journey more interesting? We will find it as we climb up the floors."
"That\'s right. Also, it\'s rude to ignore her after what just happened," Xiaoxiao chimed in, pointing at the knife with her eyes.
The husband liked that side of his cute Xiaoxiao and smiled at her widely. His eyes shifted to the blue knife, then he asked, "How do you feel Yesfir? Can you contact us?"
The voice flew out from the knife, but it reached only the husband, "I can contact only you. I am fine now." She sounded a little tired, so Kyoya put the blame on the whole transformation that was like the contract binding.
He nodded and told her to rest, "Let\'s take this whole inheritance for ourselves. More people should come here soon, so we can\'t rest just yet."
The husband\'s party got control over the inheritance from the middle tower, so things were easier for them nonetheless. It didn\'t mean that any new challengers couldn\'t get to them as the husband needed to properly absorb this whole inheritance.
He planned to strengthen his blade further with it. His knife was the real inheritor here! He roamed to the third tower, looked at the ice spring and put it in his house.
"Now that I think of it, I should get some land for my house and make a garden for it... Each garden would be taken care of by my women."
"What if your women don\'t like gardening?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"I wouldn\'t compel someone, you know it..." The husband laughed.
Xiaoxiao just joked, but said the truth, "You can\'t use this Ice Spring yet, so you just thought of the garden. It would bring you closer to Yesfir, though." She chuckled, "So go for it!"
"Haha! Don\'t peek too much into my heart, Xiaoxiao!" The husband replied.
"Why?" Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked.
"Otherwise, I will die soon! There is a limit to how much cuteness I can take from you." In such a mood, Kyoya roamed through the towers. He stuffed the whole ice water within his house. Precisely, in his bathroom.
If The Ice Divine knew it, then he would spurt the blood and rebuke the husband!
This husband focused on the ice inheritance diligently next. Once again, if the Ice Divine saw him, he would probably forgive for putting the ice spring in the bathroom...
The husband spoke with Yesfir and the whole inheritance just required time for them to complete it. Its powers began to slowly flow toward the husband\'s knife and just time was not on their side.
Together with other challengers, it tried to fight against the husband, but supported by his family, the husband held on and completed it a few days later.

"Is it safe to keep the Ice Master\'s soul within your body?" Akaro asked.
She was curious about the death god\'s powers and as the goddess herself, she would love to learn more about it. This existence was within the third layer of heaven, so even Akaro\'s abundant knowledge severely lacked.
The husband nodded and asked something serious, "Divine Rules. What are the divine rules?"
"The Divine Rules?" Akaro repeated, then turned serious, "I don\'t want to discourage you, but it\'s too early, isn\'t it?" Akaro was different, her heart in love. She spoke as both lover and goddess.
Of course, the husband momentarily thought about those divine rules now that they were outside of the Ice Divine\'s Inheritance.
"I thought about him and his reincarnation. This brought me a thought that The Death Gods probably have Divine Rule to pass the belief to other gods? Even though it seems like a chore, Xaya\'s master was diligent in his work and never failed to deliver this belief energy to all gods under him."
"It might be... a divine rule... I can\'t tell you much about this god. Besides, I am one of Goddess Fiana\'s old consciousness, so I have spent many years outside her body. This also limits the recent knowledge the other me had received." Akaro said as she faintly smiled, "There is one thing that shocked me, though."
"What could it be?" The husband asked while Xiaoxiao\'s hearing became sharpened as if she was in the battle stance!
Akaro looked into the sky and said, "The Divine Rules should be known to all gods, but that\'s not the case. There is no god that rules over all, so we have to learn stuff... in various means. On one of those, I heard a rumor.
"..." Both Xiaoxiao and Kyoya reared their ears. Yesfir also curiously listened.
"It was rumored that the god would perish if no one believed in him. For that, even the god wouldn\'t believe in himself... He would have no one to believe and die in the worst way possible. The reincarnation wouldn\'t be given to such a god. And the rumor was that this was the divine rule."
"The believers give so much benefit to the gods that this feels like a natural thing... But believers might be the divine rule indeed..." Kyoya concluded.
