Chapter 82

As the sky turned completely dark and the moonlight shone serenely, a sudden, arrogant laughter erupted from Sigma's house.

"You have no idea how silly that old man looked. I had to hold back my laughter on the spot. He clearly took me for one of those thin-skinned young fools, thinking that a few soft words would make me back off. What a dream he’s having!" Sigma sneered at the dining table. "Over the years, I’ve been outsmarting the old guys at the academy, learning how to put on a righteous face, how to act pretentiously, and how to kick someone when they’re down. The only thing I haven’t learned is to let people off the hook. At first, that old man took me for a pervert, then for a gullible fool, and he’s just another idiot whose brain has been stiffened by experience..."

Athena listened with a smile, though she didn’t quite understand. Seeing Sigma’s elated expression, she couldn’t help but feel happy too. On one side were the Church’s holy officials, who were part of the Holy Light sequence but whom she had never met, and on the other side was Sigma. Athena herself hadn’t realized it, but she had already weighed the two in her heart and chosen her side.

She stood firmly on Sigma’s side.

But she was still a bit worried and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Of course, we need to outsmart those guys from the Church!" Sigma clenched his fist fiercely. "They definitely don’t want to see an angel hanging around with a necromancer. Though they may speak nicely, their mission is to bring you back at all costs. So, it’s unwise to let you meet them now. I need to exhaust them in every way possible, making it as difficult as possible for them to see you, and then crush their resolve and willpower..."

"How do you plan to crush them?" Athena asked curiously. "But don’t hurt them, okay?"

Sigma looked at Athena and smiled smugly. "I won’t hurt their bodies, but we’ll sink their spirits. Yes, we’ll use flashbangs, showing them our affection in front of them, making them realize the tragic fact that even a necromancer can win an angel’s heart while they, the followers of Holy Light, can only masturbate in despair. We’ll make them realize the pitiful status of their ‘leftover’ positions, and their exhausted spirits will be directly hit by the strongest mental attack magic, the ‘Flash of the Winner of Life,’ which will make these clueless fools cry and run back to the Holy City of Ciam...”

"Show... show affection?" Athena heard a new term. "Can I help you with that?"

"Of course. But for now, you need to stay at home. No matter what happens, you must not go out alone, understand?" Sigma earnestly instructed Athena. "During this time, you should focus on strengthening your Holy Light cultivation, making the seal more solid. The most important thing for you is to hide your Nephilim blood and power. Absolutely do not expose them..."

"I understand," Athena nodded obediently, then asked, "What about the next stage? How do we show affection?"

"What else?" Sigma picked up a piece of scallion-braised lamb and put it in his mouth. The rich meat juice filled his mouth, and the wonderful texture stimulated his taste buds. Athena’s learning ability was truly remarkable. If her emotional intelligence and social skills were as good, it would be great. He swallowed the meat and shrugged. "Of course, we’ll pretend to be a couple, as Mr. Sa said."

He turned to look at Athena. "I know you have no experience, and I don’t have much either. But the purpose of pretending to be a couple is different from what Mr. Sargeras said. Our goal isn’t to make the Church people believe we are deeply in love, but to go further and use the ‘Flash of the Winner of Life’ to make these idiots cry and run back home. So, we can be a bit exaggerated. I’ll borrow some romance comics and novels from Alice in the next two days and directly imitate the scenes, the more exaggerated, the better. You just need to cooperate with me..."

Comics.

Hearing this word, Athena couldn’t help but think of the mysterious book Sigma had shown her that day.

The story of the female knight, the shocking facts, and those “things she liked to do” were truly memorable.

Sigma said they would pretend to be a couple.

And as far as she knew, couples would naturally form a sacred marriage and then have children.

But having children wasn’t like what the archangel had said, where the woman swallowed the man’s saliva and conceived through heartfelt love. It was more like what those soldiers did to the female knight—tearing off clothes, licking and biting as if to devour the woman, and then forcefully thrusting that ugly thing into her. It looked painful and made her bleed, but it seemed to become pleasurable over time...

Does Sigma want to do that with me?

He had just said that she only needed to cooperate with him.

Eh, eh, eh, eh? Could it be that Sigma’s “flashbang” means doing those naughty things in front of the Church people? How can that be! It’s too bold to expose your body in front of strangers! And why does it have to be with Sigma? Doing that would result in having a child, and I’m not ready to have a child! Why would we have a child if we’re just pretending to be a couple? What would the child’s bloodline be like? Would it look more like me or Sigma? How many should we have? Wait, why am I thinking about these things?

Sigma was enjoying his meal and didn’t realize that Athena was in a chaotic state of mind. It wasn’t until he felt something was off and turned to look that he noticed Athena’s face was flushed, her eyes were slightly unfocused with a mix of embarrassment and anger, and her white wings were starting to change color...

"Hey, hey! Why are your wings changing color again! What are you thinking, Athena? Don’t tell me you’re thinking about naughty things again, like Mr. Sa said! Did you sneak a look at my books again? Innocent children shouldn’t think about such things! Hey, hey, hey, the color is changing faster! What are you imagining in your head!"

"It’s all Sigma’s fault! I just thought about what we need to do when we pretend to be a couple, and this happened!"

"So, calm down first! It’s just pretending to be a couple! Why are you so innocent about this? Are you so pure that just thinking about a date makes you blush and fall into corruption? What strange scenes are you imagining in your head!"

A commotion ensued.

Sigma finally realized another big problem with the “Blinding the Holy Officials with a Date” plan.

This angel wasn’t exactly a worry-free companion...

Imagine this scene: According to the “Blinding the Holy Officials with a Date” plan, Sigma and Athena go on a date. In the afternoon courtyard, the young man picks a beautiful blue flower from a roadside flower bed and places it in the girl’s hair. The beautiful angel blushes and looks down. Moved by this charming scene, Sigma can’t help but lean down and whisper sweet nothings in the girl’s ear. Then, Athena suddenly falls into corruption.

—If this were to happen, Sigma couldn’t guarantee whether the Church people would be blinded, but he was almost certain that he would be chopped into mincemeat by the blackened and berserk holy officials...

So, he needed to practice and train with Athena in advance...

PS1: Third update complete. Please give me recommendations, clicks, and favorites... Yes, task completed, going to sleep. One last shout: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone.

PS2: By the way, I recommend a book you might be familiar with, "The Mad Warlock's Experiment Log," the true beginning of Biefeng’s journey into the world of web novels... It’s a feeling of witnessing history (far-off gaze).
