The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 137

"Uh...!"

With a majestic voice echoing from the sky, something plummeted down in front of Marika. A cloud of dust engulfed the scene, forming a thick fog that obscured her vision.

"Ah, ahhh?!" came the screams of the soldiers.

Marika froze in terror...

"Since ancient times, I've been at odds with the royal family. Today, I'll settle that grudge."

Another calm voice resounded, and the dust whirled into a small storm, swirling violently.

"Ugh...!!"

Marika shielded herself from the stinging wind, groaning under her breath. Then, a robust man emerged from the midst.

"My name is Auron, the God of Gold. Let me introduce myself."

Standing before her, Auron exuded an intimidating presence, draped in his thick golden armor and carrying an abnormally large greatsword on his shoulder.

"God of Gold... What grievance do you have against me, to wear such a hostile expression...?"

Despite her trembling legs, Marika managed to suppress her fear, maintaining her composure.

"It's precisely the royal family I despise... I bear no personal feelings towards you. My grievances have always been financial, disadvantaged by monetary matters."

In that moment, Marika realized why the God of Gold had invaded the palace. Taxation, a necessity for running a nation, had inevitably harmed him.

"It's an inevitable destiny... I know that. But today, I couldn't contain the hatred that exploded as my power waned."

Auron spoke as if he was aware of this contradiction. It seemed more like a misunderstanding than a true grievance.

"So today, I will kill all the royals who have ruled this place and change the regime."

The greatsword, much larger than Marika, pointed towards her, and she felt a clear intent to kill. What was she thinking now? Perhaps all sorts of negative thoughts were trying to overpower her. But yielding to them was not befitting of her royal status.

"Foolishly... I won't just submit quietly..."

Despite the inevitable fight, Marika bravely confronts her fear, knowing that whatever choice she makes, the end seems inevitable.

"It doesn't matter, but remember... my hatred is only for your status and the current politics... As a person, I wanted to respect you and end this with as little pain as possible."

Thump!

As Auron prepared to leap, his foot stomping the ground sent tremors like an earthquake.

"But if you choose to stand against me... then even I can't be sure of the final outcome...!"

An almost impossible fight...

"Princess!"

Unable to stand by, the soldiers at the scene tried to intervene...

"Stop a god?! If you don't mind losing your precious lives, go ahead!"

She vehemently dissuades them, emphasizing that the god's target is her alone. The soldiers freeze.

"Just go elsewhere, assist where you're needed more than me! That's an order!"

She forcibly sends the soldiers away, leaving only herself and Auron in the vast outskirts.

"A commendable virtue... then let's begin!"

Admiring the royalty's selflessness, the God of Gold readies himself and charges at Marika with a speed that belies his size.
