妻子的谎言

Step! Step! Step!

Sato and Hikari were strolling in the open space on what felt like an endless journey with nothing in their path.

"How much do you know about the eye of destruction?" Sato asked as he followed behind Hikari.

Hikari was leading the way, she smiled as she replied, "I know a lot actually, I guess it wouldn\'t hurt to tell you a bit about it".

The demonic eye of destruction belonged to a rogue god known as Diphram, the god of destruction.

Over 2000 years ago, Diphram sought to rule the god realm and take the title of the God of gods due to personal reasons.

But his power was no match for that of the gods, so he pursued another way out, one that almost endangered the whole realm.

[Flashback… God realm]

Diphram, the god of destruction, was traveling on foot in the hot sun of the irek desert.

He had long blue hair and black memorizing eyes, and although his beauty was known among every race in the god realm his angered expression had always pushed people away.

Diphram was one of the gods whose origin was unknown to the rest of the world, while some gods were born by birth others were created out of nothing.

Diphram was an example of the creation process, thus, he had no family or Kingdom he could preside over since he had no title or standing.

Walking in the hot crunching sand, Diphram suddenly glimpsed a small camp not too far from his left.

"I didn\'t know people lived here," Diphram muttered to himself before walking over to the camp to check who was there.

"Hello!" Diphram voiced out as he got closer, "Hello is anyone here!".

He got no response but Diphram didn\'t cease, he kept striding toward the tent.

After a while, he arrived in front of the tent, standing in the middle of the place were three tiny-looking creatures known as yigis.

They come in different varieties of colors but always have the same shape and usually have a small horn in the middle of their heads.

"Excuse me, do you happen to know who owns this camp house?" Diphram asked.

The Yigis stared up at him for a while before screaming in fear and running away to the back of the tent.

"Mother! Mother! There\'s a strange man here!" They all screamed as they ran.

Diphram was confused since Yigis were always known to be extremely helpful to travelers.

With a sigh, Diphram looked inside the tent out of curiosity. Once he had a good look and he backed away.

"Well hello there, may I be of service to you?"

Diphram immediately turned to see a fair-skinned woman standing behind him and holding a cup of water in her hand.

She had long black hair and a very seductive body that would make any man fall in love with her at first sight.

She wore a white gown covering her boobs vertically and leaving the rest of her upper body exposed, while her legs were exposed all the way to her thighs.

He was completely fixated on her beauty and could barely utter a word to respond to her.

The woman smiled, "You look like you\'ve been walking from a far distance, why don\'t you rest here for a while, I\'ll make us something to eat".

And thus, Diphram stayed with the mystery lady, he sat on the ground as she cooked inside a huge water pot with the help of the Yigis.

...…..

"Here you go".

The woman said, passing the golden bowl to Diphram which contained the food she was cooking.

He picked up the food and bowed his head, "Thank you, I am in your debt." Diphram voiced out.

He immediately started digging into the food, leaving the woman to stare at him with a thrill in her eyes.

"You must be really hungry." The woman said with a smile.

"Indeed I am, I traveled all the way from Nevora for days, and I haven\'t touched food or water in those days." Diphram replied before gulping down the bottle of wine in front of him.

"Oh, I see, your journey must be an important one if you are willing to overlook eating for it." The woman uttered before taking a spoon of her food.

Diphram immediately paused, looking up and replying, "It is, I am in search of a goddess named Aphrodite, she is someone I must meet \'\'.

The woman picked up the cup of wine on the ground and took a sip of it before staring inside the cup.

"If I\'m not infringing, would you mind telling me what business you have with her?" The woman asked.

Diphram first looked at her for a while, feeling hesitant to tell her, but her beauty was making a rather compelling argument.

Diphram is the kind of god whose only emotion he can harbor so lightly was anger, so now that he is feeling flustered it still was hard to tell.

He looked to the ground,

"I\'m in search of power, I want to climb the ranks and become the strongest god in the whole realm, and for that, I need the help of Aphrodite".

"What makes you so certain that she can help you?" The woman asked.

"I\'ve heard stories about her works, she\'s quite famous in Nevora, even the god of wine, Publis, spoke of the way Aphrodite helped him acquire the strength to keep his status".

The woman suddenly started laughing.

"Did I say something funny?" Diphram asked.

"A bit." The woman uttered, wrapping her hands around her knees as she looked at Diphram with a smile on her face.

Diphram looked away almost immediately to hide his flustered face.

"What makes you think you can\'t rise to the ranks on your own?" The woman asked.

His face still turned away, Diphram responded, "Because I simply lack the ability to".

"You don\'t believe in your own godly authority?" She asked again.

Diphram reached for the cup of wine and slowly it started cracking till it broke into pieces on the ground.

"I can only destroy things, that is my authority, but that is still not enough to defeat other gods whose authority is far greater than mine." He explained.

"If that\'s the case… I\'ll take you to her, you can say we are somewhat friends." The woman said before standing up from the ground.

Diphram was still flustered so he didn\'t look her way, he covered his mouth with his hand and replied… "Many thanks, goddess".
