My Wives Are Too Overpowered

There was no threat anymore and Alex reached home safely.

Before he could even ring the doorbell, Melissa opened the door and jumped on Alex.

"Darling!" She attached herself to him like a koala and said while hugging him tight. "What happened to you suddenly? Why did you stop answering? I was so worried, you know?"

Alex was slightly surprised with his wife's reaction. She knew he was home and opened the door without even waiting for him to ring the doorbell.

Such a thing wasn't a coincidence for sure.

Melissa had done many such things in the past and this only made Alex question, "honey…"

"Hmm?" Melissa hummed in response.

"You're a God right?" Alex didn't run around in circles and asked straight.

This question has been on his mind since day one. Although it was too sudden, he wanted to clarify a few things to her.

Melissa was slightly surprised but she didn't let go of Alex.

Being in the same position, she said softly, "yes."

Walking into his home and closing the door, Alex continued, "then, you would know what happened to me, right? Aren't Gods aware of everything?"

If she knew everything anyway, why was she asking him such a question, Alex wondered. Also, if she was a God, why didn't she come save him during his assassination?

Although Alex didn't need his wife's help, he still had some curiosity and these questions lingered in his mind.

Melissa sighed hearing that. She held Alex's face and kissed his forehead.

Looking into his eyes, she continued, "Even though I am a Goddess, I am in the mortal world right now and have to abide by certain rules. What rules they are, I am sorry darling, I cannot tell you."

"It's okay," Alex rubbed Melissa's back. "Just tell me what you can and cannot do so that I can take necessary actions."

Melissa nodded. "For starters, I don't know what happens with you since I am not allowed to spy on you. Secondly, if someone kills me, I'll die. Third, I have very limited powers and cannot help you most of the time. I am as useless as that—"

Alex put a finger on her lips. "I get it. I didn't ask you to degrade yourself, I was just asking a few things so that I can better prepare myself."

Melissa nodded like an obedient kitten hearing that. "I am sorry, I am not of much help…"

Alex kissed Melissa's lips softly and once again rubbed her back. "It's fine. Just relax and don't worry about it. I am here for you."

The two hugged each other and rested on the sofa in this position for a while.

Alex thought, 'I have a Goddess on my side, but she's no more than a normal wife. This means I have to be extra careful and become an immortal soon so that I can better protect my loved ones. Speaking of which…'

Alex looked at Melissa and asked, "if you die, what'll happen to you?"

Melissa put on an awkward smile and said, "I'll reincarnate. I am supposed to be here for a certain period of time and if I die before it, I'll reincarnate into who knows what to serve my remaining time."

"I see," Alex understood the matter.

"That's right. What's worse is that I'll not be your wife and could be anything, a cat, a frog, a worm…"

Alex nodded. "I get it."

Melissa nodded as well. She then held Alex's face and asked in a gentle tone, "honey, will you still love me if I turned into a worm?"

'Oh God…' Alex suddenly regretted asking his wife such stuff as he got hit with this common trick question.

If Alex messed up this question, he was sure that not only was he gonna sleep on the couch today, but he'll also end up ruining his wife's already sad mood.

Taking a deep breath, Alex parted Melissa's hair to the side and kissed her forehead.

"Honey, I'll love you in all shapes and forms, don't you worry. In any case, the things that happened today were really bizarre and I don't understand them at all," Alex skillfully guided the conversation into a different direction.

"What happened?" Melissa asked, concerned.

"Someone was trying to assassinate me. Why would they even do that? I am just a normal med student, nothing less, nothing more."

This got Melissa thinking, 'hmm… has Fi-chan made her move? It could only be her otherwise I don't see any other reason for darling to get assassinated at this stage.'

"Did you do something, darling? Did you offend someone?" Melissa asked.

Alex shook his head. "You know it, I was busy with hospital rounds and cultivation. I haven't even slept properly in so many days."

"That's true," Melissa agreed. "Then, I think it could be due to that…"

"That what?"

"I can't tell you," Melissa shook her head. "But, check your system, you may probably find something related to your current situation."

"Okay," Alex said and closed his eyes to check the system's menu.

Alex browsed through the notifications and there wasn't anything noteworthy. He then checked through each tab and finally saw something in the shop menu.

*****

The Advanced Human Anatomy manual was gone after Alex purchased it during surgery. However, in its place was now something related to the Blesseds.

Giving a closer look to the shop items, Alex could see that they were all related to things concerning the Blesseds.

Prayers, faith, praying items…

This made him wonder:

'Is the system guiding me into spirituality?'
