Talk With The Pantheon

Shin turned to Velzard and Shego.

"Do you two want to head to the manor or come with me to the temple?"

Both women exchanged a glance and smiled.

"We'll go with you," Velzard said.

"Of course," Shego added with a smirk.

Shin nodded and instructed John and his family to head to the manor while he and his wives made their way toward the temple.

As they walked, Shin asked, "Heart, can I use the recruitment scrolls to summon only female villagers? Also, how can I get new buildings? And can I buy troops from the system store, or do I have to train them?"

Heart's cheerful voice echoed in their minds, loud enough for Shin and his wives to hear.

"Yes, big brother," Heart began. "You can use the recruitment scrolls to summon whatever type of villagers you need—male or female. As for new buildings, the Pantheon will explain that to you shortly.

"Regarding troops," she continued, "you can either buy fully trained soldiers from the system store at the current level of your army or choose to train them yourself. However, if you train them manually, it will take a little longer for them to reach the strength of your existing soldiers."

Shin processed the information as they approached the temple.

Upon entering the temple, a bright white light enveloped them. When the light faded, they stood before the four members of Shin's Pantheon.

The first to speak was Lilith, the Goddess of Lust.

"Why didn't my future husband's first wife come from my camp?" she pouted, her sultry gaze lingering on Shin.

Before Shin could respond, Thrudd, the Goddess of Dragons, spoke up, her tone playful yet possessive.

"He's both our husband, remember?" She cast a teasing glance at Velzard. "You're one of my strongest, little one. You'd better show our husband how good it feels to fuck a dragon before those succubi from the Lust Camp get their claws in him."

Velzard's eyes gleamed with challenge, a slight smirk tugging at her lips.

Aether, the God of Chaos and Shadows, turned his attention to Shego.

"You're from my camp," he said with a grin. "Make me proud."

"Oh, I plan to," Shego replied, her tone laced with confidence.

Hayato, the God of Weapon Mastery, cleared his throat, his expression serious.

"Did you all forget that we have important information to share with Shin?"

Aether, Lilith, and Thrudd exchanged glances before nodding in unison.

"You're right, Hayato," Lilith said with a sigh.

Shin felt a slight pang of anxiety. "What do you have to tell me?" he asked, his voice steady despite his growing nerves.

"Shin," Thrudd began, her tone softer than before, "in the world of Alros, there are other souls like you—reincarnated by gods who ruled as we once did in the old days."

"There's more," Hayato added. "You've noticed that both you and your territory are at Level 1. As you progress, you'll be able to increase the number of gods and goddesses in your Pantheon, up to a maximum of 10. Heart will explain more about this when the time comes."

Aether's eyes gleamed as he stepped forward.

"With the power I granted you, Shin,"** he said, "if you conquer any living force, you can rename them to increase their combat power and make them yours. Also, any living creature you kill can be added to your Chaotic Shadow Army."

Lilith purred softly, drawing closer.

"Husband," she whispered, "you'll also receive special rewards for taking your wives' virginity… and for impregnating them."

Shin blinked, momentarily speechless.

Thrudd smirked.

"All the gods and goddesses agreed on one more thing," she said. "Since there are many reincarnated lords in Alros, you'll all receive a 30-day protection period. However, the first 10 days will be filled with monster attacks.

"During this time, all reincarnated lords will be graded based on how many monsters they destroy and how many troops they lose. Rewards will come in the form of treasure chests containing buildings, resources, blueprints, recruitment scrolls, and different troop types."

Lilith spoke again, her voice dripping with sweetness.

"Oh, and honey… before you leave…" She gave him a sly smile. "If you summon certain wives, you'll also gain the ability to recruit people related to them, just like how you summoned an entire army with Ri Shin. So… work hard to get more Wife Gacha Tokens, okay?"

Shin's heart pounded as he absorbed all the information.

"Understood," he murmured, a determined gleam in his eyes.
