Gathering Wives with a System

Chapter 499: Celia’s Physique Upgrade, Infernal Sovereign Transformation

Livestream

SaintessDevotee214: Hahahah. Goddess Alice is awesome! She killed that Mini Boss while carrying the team! Who said that Emily was stronger than Goddess Alice? Come out! Let’s hear you say it again!

GodessEmilyFanClubMember847213: Look at the battle properly, lil bro. It was Goddess Emily’s summons who aggroed the Boss, and also dealt the final attack. Without Goddess Emily, Alice wouldn’t even have been able to get closer.

SaintessDevotee1142: Baah, this guy is blind. Sure Emily helped, but Goddess Alice was already entering the fray alone. She was using her healing skills and overpowered strength to move without stopping!

GodessEmilyFanClubMember553821: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember902114: These Saintess fanatics can’t even scale powers accurately. Do you really think Alice can defeat all Overlord summons of Goddess Emily and defeat her?

SaintessDevotee889: Yes. She can easily rush through her summons and reach her with her high stats, and all she needs is one hit to win. Her attack power is off the charts.

NormalGuy882: That is what I’m confused about. Isn’t she a Saintess? That attack power is so ridiculous that it makes no sense.

HeroineBuilder77: Her strength is really admirable. But I think her mentality is even better. She can enter the fray of battle and use her healing skills offensively. This is the first time I’m seeing a healer fight like this. I think she is going to start a new fighting meta for healers.

NovelWriter5561: Goddess Alice is amazing! Her fighting style is even better! I’ve already written a 256-page book called [I’m an Overpowered Healer in Another World with Dragon Bloodline]! Come and read it, everyone!

SaintessDevotee2021: Upstairs neighbor. I will buy that book. Send me the site where you are selling it.

SaintessDevotee7712: Me too.

SaintessDevotee93211: +1

SaintessDevotee41211: +1

SaintessDevotee88911: +1

The comments kept multiplying endlessly.

People clipped scenes of Alice tearing through thorn vines while healing herself at the same time. Others edited dramatic music over Emily’s summons swarming the battlefield. Some channels even started making power rankings only minutes after the fight ended.

One title had already gone viral.

[THE STRONGEST HEALER IN HISTORY?]

Another stream replayed the moment Alice walked through the Thorn Tyrant’s vines without slowing down even once.

The chat exploded again.

SaintessDevotee7312: LOOK AT THAT WALK. SHE DIDN’T EVEN HESITATE.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember33711: Goddess Emily still carried the battlefield control. Alice fans acting like she soloed are so annoying.

NormalGuy551: Honestly both of them are monsters. I don’t even know why people are fighting.

That comment was immediately drowned by thousands of replies.

The livestream only became more chaotic when another topic surfaced.

HatefulWatcher882: I just saw the battle. Who said Alice was pure and kind? She spoke so sharply to Averon. She might as well have a sword for a tongue. Ew. I bet she is actually a shitty person, and she is just healing poor people for public reputation.

NormalGuy114: That is such a stupid take. She has a shitty personality because she was honest? I bet you are someone who can only meet women in hostess clubs, where they climb on men and please them, so you don’t know women can speak their own opinions if they are being honest.

SaintessDevotee53423: Exactly. Goddess Alice said nothing wrong. So what if she has a sharp tongue? She still has a soft heart! That’s gap moe, you idiot! That makes her even better!

SaintessDevotee142: Goddess Alice is kind. I won’t accept anyone who says bad things about her. My sister was diagnosed with Chaira Disease. No matter how many awakeners we approached, no one helped us. Hospitals wouldn’t treat my sister because we did not have enough money. My sister is only alive because Goddess Alice healed her. I saw her healing hundreds of people while skipping meals and sleep. These idiots online don’t even know her and think she is shitty. You are the shitty person here, undermining others’ efforts.

SaintessDevotee2312: Brother, don’t get angry. These trolls just want engagement by making stupid comments. No one here can deny that Goddess Alice has a kind heart. She has saved many people.

SaintessDevotee88821: I remember seeing her at the refugee camps too.

NormalGuy004: People forget awakeners are still humans. Alice has all the right to be blunt. It’s not like she is being aggressive. She is just honest.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember622: Even as Goddess Emily fan, I admit Alice is a kind person.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember14121: Throw this traitor out!

Alice’s popularity had exploded.

Her golden flames, unhesitating movements, and overwhelming strength won the hearts of countless people.

To ordinary unawakened humans, Alice looked like the perfect image of an awakener. Unstoppable. Unyielding. Unwavering.

The awakeners themselves were no different.

For many of them, Alice represented the kind of strength they had always dreamed of reaching. Against an enemy that should have been a nightmare, she had charged forward without fear and crushed it head-on with overwhelming power.

...

Isaac POV

Isaac grabbed Celia’s head and released everything into her mouth with a deep grunt. Her cheeks swelled as she tried to take it all, and she gagged a little before pulling back. Some of his release dripped from the corner of her lips. She scooped it up with her finger and sucked it clean without hesitation. Then she leaned down again, grabbing his shaft and licking it slowly to clean every trace.

"I’ve been thinking about this, but why is it tasty?" she asked, still catching her breath.

"...?" Isaac looked at her with a confused expression.

"I read online that it’s supposed to taste bad, and Alice told me the same thing. But yours is actually sweet," she said.

"It’s probably because of your Physique, or Sis’s," he said, slumping back against the bed.

Celia nodded and slipped off to the bathroom to rinse her mouth. Isaac stayed where he was, his eyes drifting to the giant screen on the wall. It showed the livestream.

Currently, Celia and Isaac were inside a room in the building within the Mirror Dimension.

After releasing everything and watching the livestream, the guilt hit him.

’Alice and Emily are out there fighting for their lives, and here I am doing this,’ he thought.

When Celia came back out, his mood shifted. He flicked his finger and lifted her with telekinesis, pulling her between his legs so her back pressed against his chest.

"Isaac— Kyaaa!"

A scream escaped her as he started kneading the sides of her head with his knuckles.

"Why are you doing this? Didn’t you enjoy it too?" she asked, tears forming in her eyes from the mix of surprise and pressure.

"Do you think Heaven-Reversal Moon elixirs grow on trees? You already ate one a while ago. Why did you take another one just now?" he asked.

Celia could already reverse the effects of his Celestial Kitsune Physique, so she hadn’t needed the elixir. But she had taken it anyway, and it had spiked her lust to an extreme level, leading them straight to this moment.

"We have more than enough of them!" she shouted, trying to wriggle free. When that didn’t work, she twisted around and tried to push him back. The two of them wrestled on the bed for several minutes, rolling and grappling until both were exhausted.

Now Isaac lay on his back, chest rising and falling heavily. Celia rested in his arms, breathing just as hard.

"You bully. This is domestic violence. I’m going to complain to Alice," she mumbled against his chest.

Isaac snorted and turned toward her. One arm was already under her shoulder, and he wrapped the other around her waist, pulling her closer. A long sigh left his lips.

"What happened?" Celia asked, her tone no longer playful, or carrying mock anger.

"Did your Physique rank up?" he asked instead.

"Let me check." She opened her status screen, and her eyes widened. "Huh? We only did it for a short time, but both of my Physiques are already at 100% progress? How—"

She looked up at him.

"It’s your God Domain’s skill, right? Master of Dual Cultivation?" she asked, piecing it together.

"Yeah. The skill boosts all dual cultivation—sex related skills—effects by 500%. Since you can refine your Physique when we do this, it speeds everything up that much more for you," Isaac said.

Celia chuckled softly, understanding why he looked a bit down. He had never wanted anything like a Lust God Domain, but the skill was simply too useful to be despised. It left him in a strange spot.

"I’ll go ahead and rank up my Physique," she said, propping herself up. "You should do yours too."

She sat cross-legged on the bed, still naked, and focused on her breakthrough. Isaac watched her for a few seconds, appreciating her beauty. Celia was the perfect balance between charming and seductive. Her shapely breasts, long legs, and toned waist were devilishly alluring, yet she had a innocent face, and pure, bright smile. No man could control himself if a beauty like her approached them. It made sense she had a crazy fan following. If only she wasn’t such a chaos gremlin, it would’ve been perfect. But then again, that was what made her so sweet and lovable. Shaking his head at his conflicting thoughts, he opened his own system. A smile appearsd on his face, and he said,

’System, share Celia’s Physique progress!’

The notifications appeared.

Infernal Monarch (Level 0, Progress 47%) → (Level 0, Progress 100%)

Sinbound Physique (Level 0, Progress 47%) → (Level 0, Progress 100%)

Your Physique has reached 100% refinement! You can now level up your Physique!

Isaac started his breakthrough right away. Mana tore through his body, making every part of him feel stronger. It burned, but not in a painful way. The heat tempered him, improving his muscles and bones as it moved.

When it finally finished, he opened his eyes and checked the new list of notifications.

Infernal Brand (SSS rank) gained.

Demon King Vessel (SSS+ rank) gained.

Burning Soul Armor (SSS+ rank) gained.

Hellfire Wave (SS rank → SSS rank).

Infernal Sovereign Transformation (SSS+ rank) gained.

Sweet Madness (SSS rank) gained.

Heartfire Lash (SSS rank) gained.

King of Desire Transformation (SSS+ rank) gained.

Charm (SSS rank → SSS+ rank).

Isaac stared at the screen, stunned. He had gained seven new skills at SSS or SSS+ rank, and two older ones had upgraded.

’Isn’t this too much?’ he thought.

But then it made sense. Celia had two Physiques, so the rewards were doubled.

On top of that, she had eaten the fruit from the Tree of Abyss, which purified her bloodline and boosted everything. That rare treasure explained the flood of powerful skills.

Last time with Catherine’s Physique upgrade, they gained new abilities but no new skills because she hadn’t consumed anything major.

Alice’s Crimson Wyrm heart had given her strong skills.

Celia had consumed the Abyss fruit, something that grew only in the gardens of Demon Kings, and the benefits of such rare treasure were on another level.

’Consuming powerful resources makes the breakthrough even stronger. In that case, I need to find something good for Emily before she does hers,’ he thought.

He finished his thoughts and looked over at Celia.

He froze, seeing her changed appearance.

"How do I look?" she asked with a cheeky grin.
