Chapter 140 – God vs Butterflies?
After her transformation was suddenly undone, the woman widened her eyes. And after turning around and seeing God, her instinct was to walk away and go on guard.
"Why are you here?" She asked in a calm tone. A bead of sweat trickled down her cheek and then dripped onto the floor. Her legs were shaking slightly, and she couldn't even blink.
Unlike her, God was calm and smiling. He began to take slow steps toward her and then disappeared.
The woman looked around desperately.
"I'm here." The woman felt someone blowing in her right ear. But when she attacked with her dagger, God was no longer there. He had disappeared again.
The old man played with her for a few minutes until she was tired.
"You son of a bitch! Will you stop doing that? Face me!"
"Do you think you can stand up to me? I'm just playing with you; I want to ask you some questions." God appeared in front of the woman. She jumped back on instinct.
"Ask some questions?"
"Exactly, and you already know what I want to ask." God's brow furrowed, and the woman swallowed her saliva.
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
"Are you kidding?" God shrugged and sighed. "You are in an artificial world I created, and you are after that boy... What do you mean, 'I have nothing to talk to you about'? Come on, tell me where he is."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't know you, but I'm sure you work for him because I can feel his magic in you. You have some pretty strange tastes to get involved with that guy."
"What did you say?!"
"How can you get involved with that grotesque-looking old man? Did he blackmail you? Has he promised you anything?"
"Shut up! Don't talk that shit in front of me!" The woman finally made her move. She approached God in an instant, aiming for his neck. However, as soon as her dagger touched him, her blade did no damage.
Haaa~~
God sighed and took the woman's hand.
"You are a very beautiful woman, so I don't want to hurt you; I like beautiful women. Just answer my questions, and I will let you go."
"Fuck you; I won't answer anything!"
"I understand." God's eyes turned cold. "In that case, I must rip out your brain and see all the information inside it." He said in a calm voice as if it was no big deal.
He increased the strength in his grip, not letting the woman pull away.
"Let me go, you son of a bitch! Your piece of shit!" The woman began to attack in every way and tried to escape using her transformation, yet nothing was working. It's as if God had blocked all her abilities.
"If I take you, will that guy come after you?"
"..." The woman gritted her teeth and didn't answer.
"I guess I can try." God gave a bright smile, hitting the woman next, causing her to lose consciousness.
The blade of light that pierced the woman's body disappeared, and her body vanished after. Before God also disappeared, the entire tower was erased, as if it hadn't existed before.

When I woke up the following day, I tried to open my system, but unfortunately, it did not. Again that unavailable system message appeared to my disappointment.
I left Lili in bed and took a cold shower before heading downstairs.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, Jessica. Is breakfast ready?"
"Yes, it's on the table. What happened? You look a little sad."
"I was expecting something this morning, but what I expected didn't happen...that's what I can say." I smiled and sat down at the table.
"..." Jessica continued cleaning the kitchen and living room in silence, then went upstairs. Lili came down the stairs soon after; she was sleepy and hadn't even washed her face.
"At least wash your face."
"Hm? I'm hungry." Lili came over and sat next to me. She took the bread and took a bite. Her eyes were practically closed, and her ears were down; it was adorable.
I stroked her head and went back to eating.
After eating, Lili went to the bathroom, and I lay on the sofa. Bell and Hestia were not awake yet; it was very early.
"Luan, are you going out again today?" Jessica approached with a dirty rag in her hand.
"I don't think so... why?"
"It's just that some things are missing to prepare lunch, can't you go to the market? I'm very busy with cleaning. I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you..."
"Don't worry; I have nothing to do today. Tell Lili I'll be back in less than an hour."
"Okay, thank you so much." Jessica sighed and watched me as I left the house.
I went to the market near our house, searched for the best meat options, and bought several kinds of vegetables. Not only that, I bought several types of condiments, especially peppers. I also bought two bottles of drinks. I spent a good amount of money on everything.
When I returned home only 40 minutes later, Jessica finished the dishes, and Hestia was on the couch reading a book. 'It's strange to see her reading a book...it doesn't suit her.'
'I remember her reading some books before, but it's still weird.' I put the groceries on the table, and Jessica thanked me.
"No problem. Where's Lili?"
"She must be upstairs. If she went out, I didn't see."
"She's in our room," Hestia said without looking at me.
"Right..." I ran up the stairs and reached Hestia and Lili's room. I knocked on the door a few times.
"Hm?"
"It's me, Luan."
"Ah, come in!" Lili said excitedly.
When I came in, Lili was sitting on Hestia's bed doing something I wasn't ever seeing her doing: sewing!
