''She''s… beautiful,'' Linsley thought, his mind momentarily entranced by the sight before him.


    The thought surfaced unbidden, catching him off guard as he found himself captivated by the serene expression on Seraphina''s face.


    There was a softness to her in this moment, a vulnerability he hadn''t seen before, and it stirred something deep within him.


    But as the initial surprise faded, reality quickly reasserted itself. This was Seraphina—his fiancée, chosen for him by the Outer God Association, someone he was supposed to be cautious of, just as she was undoubtedly cautious of him.


    ''Damn it, Linsley, pull yourself together,'' he scolded himself, dragging his thoughts back to the harsh reality of their situation.


    He couldn''t afford to let his guard down, no matter how captivating she appeared or how idyllic this moment seemed. For all he knew, this could be part of the Outer God Association''s scheme—a test or a trap designed to manipte him.


    Despite his efforts to maintain hisposure, Linsley couldn''tpletely ignore the warmth that lingered from her embrace


    Almost reluctantly, he began to disentangle himself from her hold, careful not to wake her. As he did, he allowed himself onest, fleeting nce at her peaceful, innocent face.


    ''And besides, if there''s going to be a girl I''m willing to date in this god-forsaken world, it''s none other than Magia Fleur,'' he reminded himself firmly. ''Magia Fleur is just as beautiful as Seraphina, and unlike Seraphina, I trust her more. We''ve fought side by side, and I''ve seen firsthand that she has a pure heart.''


    With a soft sigh, Linsley sat up on the edge of the bed, running a hand over his face as he tried to shake off the lingering drowsiness.


    The day had barely begun, and already it was proving to be far moreplicated than he had anticipated.


    Nevertheless, Linsley decided to ept the situation and move forward. Although he hadn''t fullye to terms with Seraphina being his fiancée, there was little he could do to challenge the Outer God Association''s arrangements.


    For now, Linsley saw no need to disrupt the status quo.


    He considered the possibility of running away and altering his identity using his Invisible Providence avatar, but that seemed unnecessary. Seraphina hadn''t shown any hostility toward him, and he could tell that she wasn''t a green tea bitch.


    ''As ast resort, if Seraphina ever bes a threat to me or interferes with my ns, I won''t hesitate to use my avatar to eliminate her and then change my identity,'' he thought, weighing his options.


    ''But for now, she''s not an enemy—just cautious and wary, which is to be expected. I''m the same way, so it seems we have more inmon than I initially thought.''


    ''That said, I should focus on strengthening my power. Absolute power can render all schemes and ns ineffective. No matter what the Outer God Association has in store for me, it won''t matter if I be the World God of Terra.''


    With that determination, Linsley got out of bed, gently covered Seraphina with the nket, and allowed himself a small smile before leaving the master bedroom.


    After taking a shower, he made his way to theputer room.


    ''A new day means a new simtion opportunity. I''ll use it now and hope for a powerful talent instead of those useless ones.''


    ''I feel like my luck might be better this time. Having a beautiful, pure, and seemingly trustworthy fiancée might be a good omen. Although I can''t fully trust her yet, at least she doesn''t seem like an evil person.''


    ''But as always, only my own power can give me the assurance I need in this god-forsaken world. It''s crucial that I draw a high-grade simtion talent and find a way to increase my power in the Avatar World.''


    Based on Linsley''s estimations, his awakening of the Invisible Providence avatar had likely made him one of the powerhouses in the Avatar World.


    After all, if he were weak, he wouldn''t be able to summon hundreds of invisible tentacles with such ease.


    Of course, his situation wasn''t entirely unique; many of the powerhouses in the Avatar World had reached their peak power immediately upon awakening.


    In the Avatar World, it wasmon knowledge that an avatar master''s power couldn''t be improved after their initial awakening. Any potential for growth came through unknown means that only a select few avatar masters were aware of.


    Linsley hadn''t yet encountered any of the top-ranking avatar masters, but he had faced mid-ranking ones like Viktor and had easily defeated them. This alone indicated that he should be on par with, or even ahead of, those high-ranking avatar masters.


    Even if he were toe up against the top-ranking avatar masters like the Death Envoy or Hellhound, Linsley felt confident that, while he might not be able to outright defeat them, he could at least hold his own and force a draw in their confrontation.


    With this estimation of his power, Linsley''s confidence grew, and he didn''t hesitate to activate the god simtor.
