Chapter 20 What's Wrong With This Demigod?
"Make friends and help?" Such words coming from a demigod were not considered trustworthy for Victor, all they had done up to that point was mock him, so even if he wanted to he could not believe Mikena's words.
"Why did you not come straight to me and tell me about it then, why make such a show?" - Victor asked with a frown.
"I don't know, I... thought you'd try to get rid of me after you found out I was a demigod." - Mikena whispered softly.
"Ehh?" Victor thought there was indeed some truth in her words if he had known right away that she was a demigod he would not have bothered to help her and left as soon as he saw her.
"Okay, if you're saying that gods wish for me to never die, then answer me why? Why the fuck have I been reborn a thousand times over and over again!" - Even though he had a rather calm expression on his face, you could feel the anger and despair in his words.
"Um...I don't know, all I was told to do was to help you!"
Victor felt himself hitting the wall.
"Who said that?" - Despite the fact that Victor had not yet received a single normal answer other than the first, he hoped to clarify at least something, otherwise it was still like wandering through fog.
"I don't know, I heard it in my head."
"Hahaha, are you fucking kidding me?" - Victor couldn't listen to any more of this nonsense as it seemed to him that either she didn't want to say anything at all and was trying to trick him or she really didn't know anything at all, which was a little weird.
'Leaving her around won't do much good.' Victor thought, of course she was in the initial stage of Earth Ascension(2), which was clearly more than he was capable of handling right now, but it was still not enough to just leave her alone.
If she wasn't related to the gods Victor would have thrown her out of his room right away and tried to avoid her, but she was definitely related to them even though she didn't know any of them, he could get out of her some answers to his long overdue questions.
So now Victor was sitting on the bed wondering whether it was worth taking her in or not.
"What would be the benefit for me if I were to keep you?" - Victor asked her as if she were not human but some useless animal. He still hoped that she had something useful, at least that's what he wanted her to have.
"I lost almost all of my cultivation level when I came to this world, so now I only have a backup that can help not only me quickly raise my level but also you." - For some reason, as she spoke these words, Victor noticed that she started blushing, even her neck and the tips of her ears were blushed as well.
"And what's the method supposed to be?" - Victor did not pay attention to her strange behavior, because as soon as he heard that there was a way that could quickly increase his level of cultivation his eyes abruptly glittered and he focused only on that.
"Dual cultivation." - At these words she lowered her head and said in a whisper so that Victor could not hear her words properly.
"Um, say that again, I didn't hear you very well."
"DUAL CULTIVATION!" - This time Mikena shouted embarrassedly, her words making her as red as a beet.
"What do you mean? You mean me and you..." Victor asked cautiously, trying to see what exactly she wanted from him. Although he didn't believe in it at all he had always considered the gods as enemies so why then would his enemy ask to sleep with him, so he thought he was just imagining things for himself.
"Y-yes!" said Mikena stammering.
Victor's smile froze and his confidence vanished instantly; now he was sure he didn't understand what was going on here at all, it was all too strange from the beginning, this whole night was some kind of madness.
First he met a young girl who was in trouble and he saved her, later it turned out that this was all a show whose purpose was to make friends with Victor Soon afterwards it turned out that this girl was actually a demigod and now this so-called demigod was offering herself as a dual cultivation partner.
Victor felt confounded, he could not understand what exactly was the purpose that Mikena was pursuing, even if, as she said, the gods ordered her to help Victor, would it be worth helping him with her own body.
Now Victor couldn't help but think that everything he had thought before about the gods was a complete mistake. If before he had sought revenge against them, now he wanted answers.
At the same time, while Victor was in his thoughts, Mikena never took her eyes off his face.
'I hope he doesn't find out the truth,' she whispered in her heart, the truth is she had never seen any of the gods at all, everything she had learned about Victor was a complete oddity the day he was reborn.
Mikena did not pay any attention to this at first, but after seeing Victor suffer continuously through his reincarnations, she genuinely felt bad for him and decided to help him. As for the dual cultivation she invented that only in an attempt to get closer to him, even though she really did not have any bad intentions towards him, she could not tell him the truth because she knew that he would throw her out. He was distrustful, rightly so.
After some thought, Victor took another close look at her appearance. You couldn't call her a woman who could topple countries, but she was definitely one of the most beautiful women he had seen in his life. After thinking for a while he decided.
'I still have an assignment to complete!'
And with that thought, he approached her face and kissed her, stunning Mikena with his actions.
