Lord of Charm



In a faraway palace:

"What do you think your inheritor is going to do?"

"I know what I would do in his place. I would use the princess to get stronger, absorb her power, and leave to find better sources of power once she's useless. I'm sure he will do the same."

"Not everyone is a degenerate like you."

There were 4 gods in that throne room. The first one to talk was an angelic woman with white hair and red shining eyes. One look at her, and anyone would be willing to sacrifice his life to serve her.

Shirane's long hair was smoothly falling behind her back like a waterfall, and her well-endowed proportions could be easily seen through the curves in her long white dress.

She spoke to a man with a blurred face, yet she saw his true form before. Despite disliking him, she had no problem admitting he was as beautiful as the word beautiful could go.

"No, Shiraze. All living beings are greedy for power and longevity. Didn't he already bend his moral code plenty of time for the sake of his pursuit of power? He killed so many people he didn't even know, all for the sake of benefits."

The God of Charm replied to the hateful black-haired goddess who always badmouthed him. He only entertained their presence because even he couldn't reject Shirane's requests.

The gods were the embodiments of their laws, and when the Goddess of Purity asked for something, it was nearly impossible to say no. As the God of Charm, he enjoyed a similar effect on people, and everyone hated him for abusing it.

The difference was that Shirane never abused her powers; she was pure. If she did abuse her powers, she wouldn't be pure anymore.

"Come on you guys. Can't we just watch the drama show peacefully? I personally think he will say yes; she has been sincere with him, and he obviously developed feelings for her in the past few weeks."

Those 4 gods were watching Gale coming clean in front of Hanako. They didn't have a problem both watching and talking at the same time; they were doing many things simultaneously.

"You're just a devil, why are you even here?"

The devil god felt a strong pressure enveloping him, tainting his law with hatred. He opened his eyes in fear and tried to get away from the Goddess of Hatred in front of him.

"Enough, Shiraze. You're a guest in my palace, you can't act willfully here."

A strong power of love canceled her hatred and saved the devil from his misery. The devil took a breath in relief and shook his head.

"You were much better when you still had your pink hair. But no matter, I'm still willing to marry you."

The devil said with a lewd smile as he ogled Shiraze's voluptuous curves with lust.

"Hmph, I've already lost once to the Devil of Lust. However, nobody can seduce me ever again, especially not a simple toy of the real Devil of Lust."

Shiraze snorted and ignored his stares. Although this body was her true form, she wasn't bothered by a being she considered to be lesser. Just like a human female wouldn't be bothered by a dog seeing her naked, Shiraze didn't care about the Devil of Lust.

"I'm nobody's toy. I'm Ashmedai, the one and only Devil of Lust!"

Ashmedai said with rage when he was mocked by Shiraze but didn't get any response. Those two goddesses were younger than him, yet they were both beyond his league. 

"Well, I wonder what you can become next when you also lose your Hatred law. Will it change your hair's color again?"

He mocked her back, touching a sensitive subject. Until around 10,000 years ago, Shiraze was still the Goddess of Love. 

She and Shirane were considered the fairies of the God Realm. They came out of nowhere and outdid the former gods, becoming the youngest gods in the whole realm.

However, the previous Devil of Lust managed to seduce Shiraze, the Goddess of Love. At the time, everyone loved Shiraze, and nobody could have any thoughts of hurting her. After all, just being near her would make anyone's feelings overflow with love.

However, the previous Devil of Lust succeeded in ignoring his feelings of love. He loved many women in the past and betrayed them all; he didn't hesitate to betray yet another love. At least, he could resist this hesitation.

Shiraze fell in love with the Devil of Lust, and the two turned into lovers. The devil used his special powers of lust, stealing his sex partner's magic. The law of love was a great supplement to the law of lust. 

That fateful day 10,000 years ago, the Goddess of Love has fallen, and her law was stolen by the Devil of Lust. With the two laws, the devil became a god, and his new law was Charm. Nowadays he was known as the God of Charm.

"I could always become the Devil of Lust instead of you. You know how good I am at claiming others' laws."

Shiraze said with a contemptuous tone. When she became the Goddess of Love, there was already another God of Love at the time. She surpassed him and became the law of Love, making him lose his godhood.

It was the same thing when she became the Goddess of Hatred; she surpassed the former goddess and made her lose her godhood too.

"Nobody can surpass my sister; her hatred is pure. Ashmedai, you shouldn't involve yourself in troubles you can't handle. All Shiraze was saying was that you became the Devil of Lust only after the role was empty."

Shirane spoke after a while. As the Goddess of Purity, she was immune to all types of sins and effects. Nearly every devil coveted her law, as it would make them much stronger, yet nobody could affect her in the slightest. 

Even the God of Charm, who could ignore his feelings and harm even the Goddess of Love, couldn't charm Shirane.

When the God of Charm became who he was today, the law of Lust was freed to the next Semi-god closest to defining the law of Lust, and Ashmedai was the man. However, the God of Charm didn't dare to let the law of Love be freed.

If he did, Shiraze would claim it back instantly, and at that time, all her admirers would work together to bring him down. Even to this very day, he couldn't make the law of Love as strong as Shiraze made it at the time.

"Fine. Don't get too excited, last time you brought an era of war to all worlds with your hatred. What do they call this era in Gale's world again?"

"The Hatred Era. War engulfed the whole continent and everyone's magic regressed."

"What about their Semi-gods?"

"They have a few sleeping ones. They weren't spared and even the Semi-gods couldn't resist the deep hatred. When they started fighting, it tainted their laws, and they all became gravely injured."

Shirane explained patiently to the devil as he asked her questions about that era. That era was nearly vacant of lust until he finally ascended to the status of Devil of Lust.

However, when Shiraze lost her law of Love, her hatred surged, and all her love turned into hatred. Her hatred toward the God of Charm surpassed the hatred of the former Goddess of Hatred. 

The Goddess of Love, famous for her colorful pink hair, turned into the black-haired Goddess of Hatred. According to the legend, it would be enough for a person to see her lush pink hair for losing control and offering their life as a dowry.

The universe couldn't handle the sudden increase of the law of Hatred, and a tide of hatred washed all worlds, bringing an era of chaos and war everywhere. Only a thousand years later, Shirane's purity managed to calm down Shiraze's hatred.

Shirane even used her purity to enhance the law of Love in the God of Charm's hands. She had no choice other than to help him if she didn't want entire worlds to sink into complete chaos and endless murder.

"Anyway, I've always been intrigued about it. How come you spend so much time around the God of Charm if you hate him so much?"

Ashmedai turned to Shiraze and asked with a curious tone. 

"He's too strong to be killed, so I can't take revenge for now."

The God of Charm just snorted when he heard her answer. He knew her true reason, but he knew she will fail.

"She hopes to taint my laws with hatred. As the God of Love, I'm not allowed to feel strong hatred toward anything, or someone might surpass my law."

The God of Charm explained to the devil while looking mockingly at Shiraze who hoped to bring him down. Unfortunately, her sister couldn't help her in her battle. The Goddess of Purity was too pure, and her essence of being prevented her from harming others.

"Someone will eventually surpass you anyway. I just need to find the ones with potential before you do."

There was a race between the God of Charm and his enemies. Whenever a powerful Semi-god of Love was discovered, they'd race to find them. So far, the God of Charm was always the winner in this competition, and those semi-gods got killed.

"By the way, Shirane. Gale isn't my inheritor; I will kill him once he proves my point."
