Chapter 819: The Creator Meets the First Wife

Rachel’s beautiful pink eyes shifted between Garion and the unfamiliar woman standing beside him.

Although her expression remained gentle, the faint twitch at the corner of her smile suggested that something was bothering her.

"Darling, I’m glad you’re back." Rachel approached Garion before glancing toward Seras. "But would you mind introducing our guest?"

Garion scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Hehehe... Well, this is Seras. She’s the Creator of All Systems."

Rachel blinked. "...The Creator?"

Seras smiled cheerfully before stepping forward. "Hehehe. That’s right. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Rachel."

Rachel examined her for a moment before bowing her head politely. "The pleasure is mine. I never expected someone of your status to visit our little gym."

Seras giggled. "Oh, there’s no need for such formality. Just call me Seras."

Rachel nodded before turning toward Garion. "Darling, does this mean you won the final competition?"

Garion immediately grinned. "Of course! I beat every last one of those bastards."

Rachel’s expression brightened. "Congratulations, darling. I knew you could do it."

She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around him.

Garion chuckled before returning the embrace. "Hehehe. Naturally. Your husband is pretty amazing, after all."

Rachel smiled warmly before kissing his cheek.

However, just as she was about to ask another question, Seras suddenly spoke. "Hehehe. You two really are adorable together."

Rachel turned toward her.

Seras tilted her head playfully. "I can see why Garion speaks so highly of you."

Rachel smiled politely. "Thank you, Seras. Although I’m curious why you’ve accompanied my husband here."

Garion immediately stiffened.

Behind him, Atlas quietly looked toward the ceiling.

"Here it comes."

Seras smiled innocently. "Oh, that’s simple. I came to discuss becoming Garion’s second wife."

Silence.

Rachel’s smile froze.

Garion slowly covered his face.

Atlas closed his eyes.

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

Then Rachel slowly turned toward Garion. "...Darling?"

Garion immediately raised both hands. "Oi, hold on. Before you get angry, let me explain."

Rachel continued smiling, although the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. "I’m listening."

Garion quickly explained everything that had happened after the final competition.

He told Rachel about Seras’s true identity, the creation of countless systems, the purpose behind the trials, and the extraordinary reward awaiting the final victor.

By the time he finished, Rachel was staring at him with a complicated expression. "So... you’re telling me that the entire competition was actually a search for the Creator’s husband?"

Garion nodded helplessly. "Yeah. Pretty ridiculous, right?"

Seras giggled. "Hehehe. I thought it was a rather efficient arrangement."

Atlas quietly muttered, "An extremely elaborate arrangement, certainly."

Seras glanced toward him.

Atlas immediately straightened. "And unquestionably brilliant, Creator."

Garion snorted. "Oi, stop sucking up to her."

Rachel slowly rubbed her forehead. "I see..."

She looked toward Seras again. "And you’ve chosen my husband?"

Seras nodded cheerfully. "That’s right. He’s amusing, determined, strong, and surprisingly considerate."

She glanced toward Garion with an affectionate smile. "Besides, he’s one of the few people who treats me like an ordinary woman rather than an untouchable existence."

Rachel remained silent for a moment. Then she asked quietly, "And what if I refuse?"

The atmosphere became noticeably still.

Atlas immediately stiffened.

However, Seras simply tilted her head. "Then I suppose I’ll have to reconsider."

Rachel blinked, clearly surprised.

Seras smiled gently. "Garion already explained that your feelings matter. And I promised not to force anyone."

Garion nodded proudly. "See? I made sure of that."

Rachel glanced toward him before letting out a helpless sigh. "At least you remembered to discuss this with me first."

Garion chuckled awkwardly. "Hehehe. Of course. I’m not that stupid."

Atlas quietly muttered, "That’s debatable."

Garion immediately glared at him. "Oi, little bastard."

Seras giggled at their exchange.

However, Rachel soon returned her attention to the Supreme Creator. "Seras, may I ask you something?"

Seras nodded. "Of course."

Rachel’s expression became serious. "Do you actually love my husband?"

Seras blinked.

For the first time, she appeared uncertain. "Hmm... I’m not entirely sure."

Rachel raised an eyebrow.

Seras continued honestly. "I find him fascinating, and I enjoy spending time with him. But I’ve never experienced romantic love before."

She glanced toward Garion. "That’s precisely why I wanted someone who could share my life."

Rachel slowly nodded. "Then I think you’re approaching this too quickly."

Seras tilted her head. "Oh?"

Rachel smiled faintly. "Marriage isn’t simply about finding someone interesting. It’s about understanding each other, accepting your differences, and choosing to remain together."

Seras listened with increasing curiosity.

Rachel continued, "You may be the strongest existence in creation, but that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be compatible with Garion."

Garion immediately nodded. "Exactly. This woman hasn’t even experienced my legendary training programs yet."

Rachel glanced toward him. "Darling, please be serious."

Garion immediately closed his mouth.

Atlas quietly smirked.

Seras covered her mouth, giggling. "Hehehe. You really do know how to handle him."

Rachel smiled before returning her attention to Seras. "Besides, even if I fought you over him, I wouldn’t stand a chance."

Seras blinked.

Rachel chuckled softly. "I’m the Love Goddess, but I’m not foolish enough to challenge someone who can create and destroy universes effortlessly."

She gently took Garion’s hand. "However, that doesn’t mean I’ll simply surrender my marriage because someone stronger has appeared."

Seras’s expression softened.

Rachel continued, "So I’d like to propose something."

Seras leaned forward curiously. "I’m listening."

Rachel smiled. "Why don’t the three of us live together for a few years?"

Garion blinked. "Huh?"

Seras looked equally surprised. "Live together?"

Rachel nodded. "Yes. Instead of immediately deciding on marriage, we can spend time together and discover whether we’re truly compatible."

She glanced toward Seras. "You can experience ordinary family life, learn more about Garion, and decide whether your feelings are genuinely romantic."

Seras became thoughtful.

Rachel then smiled mischievously. "And I’ll have an opportunity to decide whether I actually want you as my husband’s second wife."

Garion scratched his head. "Hehehe. Damn. That sounds like a pretty serious examination."

Atlas nodded solemnly. "Considering what’s at stake, I believe it’s entirely reasonable."

Garion glanced at him. "Nobody asked you, little bastard."

Seras suddenly laughed. "Hehehe! Wonderful. I rather like that idea."

She clapped her hands excitedly. "Then it’s settled. We’ll live together for a few years."

Rachel nodded with satisfaction. "Good. But remember, this isn’t an agreement to marry. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other."

Seras smiled brightly. "Of course. I wouldn’t want it any other way."

Garion looked between the two women. Then he slowly scratched his chin. "Hold on. Where exactly are we supposed to live?"

Seras immediately raised her hand. "Oh, that’s easy. You can both stay at my residence."

Garion raised an eyebrow. "That ridiculously enormous palace?"

Seras nodded cheerfully. "Naturally. There’s more than enough room."

Rachel smiled. "Then I suppose we’ll be troubling you for a while."

Seras giggled. "Hehehe. Not at all. I’m looking forward to it."

Garion suddenly grinned. "Hehehe. Fine by me. But there’s one condition."

Both women turned toward him.

Garion crossed his arms proudly. "I need a proper gym."

Rachel immediately sighed. "Darling..."

Seras blinked before bursting into laughter. "Hehehe! Of course. I’ll make you the greatest gym you’ve ever seen."

Garion’s eyes brightened. "Now we’re talking."

Meanwhile, Atlas quietly stared at the three of them.

"So the Supreme Creator, the Love Goddess, and that muscle-headed idiot are going to live together..."

He slowly covered his face.

"What could possibly go wrong?"

And just like that, an entirely new Chapter of Garion’s life was about to begin.
