Chapter 1376: The Key To Unlock Zion’s Heart

"Hmm... so this is the boy you’re talking about, right?" Eros looked at the projection of the teenage boy, sleeping soundly without a care in the world. "Well, compared to your father and the guys I cherish... he looks fairly average."

The Goddess of Lust had initially thought that only drop-dead gorgeous hunks would catch the attention of her nieces, for they were born from the union of the handsome red-headed Half-Elf and their very beautiful mothers.

So after finding out that Stella, one of the Half-Elf’s most cherished daughters, was eyeing an average-looking young man, Eros wondered if he had used some kind of Charm Spell on her.

’But Charm Spells don’t work on his kids,’ Eros thought. ’And even if he cast a spell, I can easily detect them right away.’

She had given Stella a long hard look, and she was not under any kind of enchantment, or charm.

(A/N: Our Zion Virus is invisible and moves like a smooth criminal.)

"Let me investigate him a bit," Eros said before taking out a cellphone and dialing the number of the Call Center God.

"Thank you for calling the Genesis Hotline. Yes, how may I help you?" The Call Center God, who had a very thick Indian Accent, spoke through the receiver of her mobile phone.

"It’s me, Eros," Eros replied. "Can you get me the profile of a young man named Zion Leventis? He lives in a world called Pangea."

"One moment please." The Call Center God quickly typed Zion’s name and pulled his profile information.

A moment later, he realized that the personal information of the person he was asked to look for was under the confidential files of the temple.

After tinkering a bit, the Customer Service God realized that his authority was only enough to acquire a small portion of Zion’s information.

Right now, the teenage boy’s profile had several layers of security, and he would need a dozen authorization from different Gods to access all of his information.

"I’m sorry, Lady Eros. I can only gather a small portion of information about the person you wish me to find," the Call Center God said. "His profile information is under the confidential files, and I don’t have enough authority to access it from the archives."

"Oh?" the corner of the God of Lust’s lips curled up after hearing the information of the Call Center God. "Very well. Just give me the information you managed to get."

"I’ll send it to your email, Lady Eros," The Call Center Agent replied. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No," Lady Eros answered. "Thank you."

"Thank you for calling Genesis, and have a great day!"

After ending the call with the Call Center God, Lady Eros opened her email and checked the file sent to her.

Since her speaker was on during the entire conversation, Stella was able to hear it all.

Frankly, she wasn’t too surprised when she heard that Thirteen’s files were under the confidential section of the Genesis Archives.

After all, the teenage boy had managed to transform into a Pseudo God, which meant that he had the power of Divinity.

It was impossible for anyone with that kind of power to be just a simple person. This was also why their personal information was hidden from public access.

"Interesting..." Eros muttered as she read Zion’s profile information, which was sent to her email. "It seems that my two other nieces, Maple and Cinnamon, are very close to him."

Stella nodded. "They said his cooking is the best in the entire multiverse."

"He’s that good?" Eros smirked. "No wonder those two gluttons are very friendly with him. Hah... if you marry him, you’ll be able to eat his divine cooking everyday."

This time, the corner of Stella’s lips twitched.

She was about to say that everything Zion cooked would end up tasting like bubblegum and that she was not keen on eating such meals everyday.

"Strange... The information here says that he lacks the common sense of humans, and only recently learned about love. Also, he is oblivious to lust."

This piece of information immediately struck the competitiveness of the Goddess of Lust.

She had never heard of anyone who didn’t understand what lust was, so she was now very curious about Zion Leventis.

"By the way, Stella, do you know that the key in your hand has some divine abilities as well?" Eros asked in a teasing tone.

"Divine Ability?" Stella frowned. "I can sense that it has some kind of power, but I still don’t know what that power is."

Lady Eros approached the young lady and patted her shoulder.

"According to the information about Zion, while he does know what lust is, he hasn’t experienced it... not even once. According to you, he has many beautiful lovers, and based on his information, I can tell that he had also done the deed. This is why I don’t understand why he doesn’t know what lust is? Are his lovers all ’dead fish’ or something like that?"

"Dead fish?" Stella blinked.

"It’s a term that means that they’re not good with s*x," Eros explained, which made Stella’s face redden.

The young lady was neither ignorant nor innocent when it came to the affairs of lovers. Her father and mothers were... very active when it came to such activities, and they were educated properly about it.

"I don’t think they are dead fish," Stella said after a while. "Zion is just different."

"Then, how about we give it a try?" Eros smirked, her face filled with mischief.

"Try what?" Stella inquired.

"Unlocking his lust," Eros replied. "The key in your hands works like every other key. You insert it on his chest, particularly right above his heart. Then give it a good twist to unlock the lust sleeping inside of him."

"I don’t think that’s a good idea." Stella shook her head firmly.

"Hoh... I thought that you were interested in him?" Eros arched an eyebrow.

"I’m not romantically interested in him, Auntie," Stella stated.

"You think?" Eros giggled. "My dear, I am the Goddess of Lust. While I am not the God of Love, I can tell that you’re treating him as a very important person in your life."

"But, Aunt, I am only doing this because I want to cure my illness."

"That illness that prevents you from seeing the colors of the world?"

Stella nodded. "Yes."

Lady Eros smirked before reaching out to hold Stella’s hand. "Then what is this? Don’t tell me that you can’t see it as well?"

The Goddess of Lust was referring to the golden thread tied on Stella’s pinky finger.

As a Goddess, she could see it clearly.

The golden thread was connected to Zion, which meant that he and Stella shared a special connection.

As to whatever that connection was, it wasn’t something so simple that could be brushed off so easily.

Stella was at a loss for words because she also didn’t know why she possessed the golden threads that bound him to Zion.

The only thing she did know was that he was someone very special.

The only person who exuded colors in her black-and-white world.

Eros could tell that Stella didn’t really love Zion like that of a lover. However, she could sense a small seed in the young lady’s heart, which would eventually bloom as long as it was watered and cared for by the teenage boy, who had caught the interest of the Goddess of Lust.
