Chapter 549: Neymar’s Confession

"It’s over." Messiah stretched and said, "I can’t believe we actually won without relying on becoming gods."

"Someone did help us," said the Lord of Eternity. "But that little rascal is really impressive. His summoning of that other version of himself is incredibly powerful. If he becomes a god, he can fight like two for one."

"So, if he reaches my level, he could take on two to defeat me. Interesting," Surtr’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"If my real body were still alive, I believe he will meet it soon," the Aurora Goddess said with a smile.

"Is he about to become a god?" Messiah was momentarily stunned.

"Can’t you see?" the Lord of Eternity glanced at Messiah, "He is about to lose control."

"In at most three months, he will become a god," Surtr said confidently, "I don’t even know where my true self has gone. I wonder if he can meet my true self."

Messiah remained silent.

Why can’t I see it?

……

Watching the last enemy walk away, Karoso stumbled and nearly fell.

"Brother!" Neymar quickly came to Karoso’s side and supported him.

『』 and Null did not approach but instead gave them time alone.

"Karoso."

Elizabeth leaped up and held onto the other side of Karoso.

"『』, are you okay?" Null’s gaze rested on 『』.

"I’m fine…" 『』 let out a sigh, "Luckily, the enemy didn’t attack me."

"We are Card Makers; they won’t attack us unless it’s absolutely necessary." Null patted 『』’s shoulder.

"Brother, you still came." 『』 gave Null a sweet smile.

"I had no choice; I owe you." Null thought about his earlier impulse and still felt uneasy.

He thought that being a level nine, he could help a little, but just now, one spell from Joseph drained all his strength.

Looking at it this way, Karoso’s strength was almost god-like.

"Karoso, why didn’t you call me when you were fighting?" Elizabeth punched Karoso’s chest playfully, her face turning red, "What, are you afraid I’ll cling to you?"

"Ha, I overestimated myself," Karoso said helplessly.

Elizabeth and Null’s roles were quite significant; at least they helped Karoso hold back one person and weakened Joseph’s control over Karoso a lot.

If it weren’t for Null, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Karoso to kill Ivan.

"Brother, you are being too reckless," Neymar said with a worried expression.

"Neymar, how did you end up over here?" Karoso’s gaze shifted to Neymar.

"Luckily, I just finished my task and felt a strong wave of magic," Neymar sniffed. "If not, the consequences would be unimaginable…"

Karoso nodded.

If it weren’t for Neymar’s appearance, this battle would truly have been difficult to turn around.

Neymar’s magic was powerful, but her presence was the last straw that tipped the balance against the enemy; it was the strongest form of deterrence.

"Karoso, let’s go home," 『』 said as she flew to Karoso’s side. "It’s all over, we can finally rest."

"Yes, it’s all over, we can rest now," Karoso sighed with relief.

Even if those people still wanted to fight, Karoso was not afraid to face them alone.

With three top-tier nine-level fighters already defeated, this world will likely have peace for a long time.

"Hmm, brother, I have good news to tell you!" Neymar showed a sweet smile.

"What good news… Oh right, Neymar, call her sister-in-law," Karoso pointed to 『』.

Neymar blinked: ???

"Sister-in-law?" Neymar’s smile froze on her face.

[Hahaha, Neymar’s retreat ended, and the house was stolen.]

[I want to be your wife, but you found me a sister-in-law instead?]

[You promised to wait for me, but you found someone to wait with?]

[Oh no, Neymar’s face turned dark.]

[It’s okay, if he doesn’t want you, I want you. Come quickly into my arms!]

[I strongly suggest that the game company create an event to give 『』 and Master Karoso more love stories.]

[This couple is really easy to support!]

[I really didn’t expect that this world would eventually be ruled by Master Karoso.]

[Hmm… our goal in the game seems to be to defeat Master Karoso, right?]

"『』 and I got married in Acheron." Karoso said with a sigh, "What a wonderful journey it has been."

"Wait, wait, wait…" Neymar’s pretty face turned pale. "How can it be that you are married? I didn’t know! Did Father and the brothers know?"

"Everyone has been informed. You were in seclusion, so I didn’t tell you. Once everything settles down, I will give 『』 a grand wedding," Karoso said firmly.

"No, no, no, no…" Neymar shook her head wildly.

How can it be that you are married?

After the dungeon, you all went to the Netherworld and then returned to fight.

It hasn’t been long, and you are already married?

Teresa’s father has just passed away!

I wanted you to properly repay Teacher 『』 for her care… I didn’t mean this!

"What is wrong?" Karoso looked at Neymar with confusion.

[It’s done; everyone knows Neymar likes Master Karoso, but Master Karoso doesn’t know.]

[Playing dumb? We talk about it all day; how could he not know?]

[Ugh, the netizens speak in riddles, some true and some false; it’s strange that Master Karoso believes any of it!]

[Trust Master Karoso? He is still not sure if he really likes 『』; in this respect, he is just as clueless as a fool.]

"No way!" Neymar exclaimed, "You should marry me!"

"Marry you? Aren’t we siblings?" Karoso said, looking confused.

"I was adopted; my father brought me home with the intention of me marrying you someday!"

"That’s what my father thinks, not what I think. I can make my own choices in life, and so can you."

"I’m not saying I want to make my own choices; I’ve always felt that we should be together!" Neymar held Karoso’s hand tightly, "No, you two getting married doesn’t count, it doesn’t count!"

"Neymar, you don’t understand what love is; you just mistake dependence for love," Karoso thought of Elizabeth saying he didn’t understand love and used it directly, "I truly love 『』, but what I feel for you is brotherly affection."

"That’s not true!" Neymar felt like she was going crazy, "My life, my very existence, is all for you! You made me a god, so I became one; you asked me to study magic, and I studied—everything I do is connected to you. I don’t know what to do without you. If I lose you, nothing in my life will matter!"

"Karoso, ask your heart—do you truly feel only brotherly love for Neymar?" Elizabeth stepped forward.

At that moment, she and Neymar were on the same side.

"Are you two pretending I don’t exist?" 『』 said, instantly frustrated.
