Gathering Wives with a System Chapter 499 Celia's Physique Upgrade, Infernal Sovereign Transformation

Livestream

SaintessDevotee214: Hahaha! Goddess Alice is absolutely incredible! She took down that Mini Boss while carrying the entire team! Who was it that claimed Emily was stronger than Goddess Alice? Step forward and say it again!

GodessEmilyFanClubMember847213: Actually watch the fight, little brother. It was Goddess Emily's summons that drew the Boss's aggression and dealt the finishing blow. Without Goddess Emily, Alice wouldn't have even gotten close.

SaintessDevotee1142: Pfft, this person is completely delusional. Yes, Emily provided assistance, but Goddess Alice was already engaging the enemy solo. She was utilizing her healing abilities and phenomenal strength to advance relentlessly!

GodessEmilyFanClubMember553821: Whatever helps you rationalize your beliefs.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember902114: These devoted followers of the Saintess can't even assess power levels correctly. Do you genuinely believe Alice could defeat all of Goddess Emily's Overlord summons and then defeat her?

SaintessDevotee889: Absolutely. She can effortlessly bypass the summons and reach Emily, securing victory with a single strike. Her offensive power is astronomically high.

NormalGuy882: That's precisely what I find perplexing. Isn't she a Saintess? Such astounding attack power defies logic.

HeroineBuilder77: Her strength is truly commendable. However, I believe her mental fortitude is even more remarkable. She can engage directly in combat and employ her healing skills offensively. This marks the first occasion I've witnessed a healer fighting in such a manner. I suspect she is pioneering a new combat meta for healers.

NovelWriter5561: Goddess Alice is simply magnificent! Her combat style is even more captivating! I've already penned a 256-page novel titled [I'm an Overpowered Healer in Another World with Dragon Bloodline]! I invite everyone to come and read it!

SaintessDevotee2021: My neighbor upstairs, I shall purchase that book. Kindly provide the link where it is available for sale.

SaintessDevotee7712: I too wish to acquire it.

SaintessDevotee93211: +1

The cascade of comments continued without end.

Viewers shared clips of Alice effortlessly slicing through thorny vines while simultaneously mending her own wounds. Others superimposed dramatic soundtracks onto footage of Emily's summons overwhelming the battlefield. Certain channels even commenced compiling power rankings mere minutes after the conflict concluded.

One particular title had already achieved widespread notoriety.

[THE STRONGEST HEALER IN HISTORY?]

Another stream replayed the precise moment Alice advanced through the Thorn Tyrant's grasping vines, her pace unwavering.

The chat erupted once more.

SaintessDevotee7312: OBSERVE THAT GAIT. SHE DIDN'T SHOW THE SLIGHTEST HESITATION.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember33711: Goddess Emily still controlled the overall battlefield dynamics. It's quite irritating how Alice's fans act as if she achieved a solo victory.

NormalGuy551: To be perfectly honest, both of them are powerhouses. I don't understand the basis for people's disputes.

That particular comment was instantly submerged beneath thousands of responses.

The livestream's atmosphere intensified into greater chaos as a new subject emerged.

HatefulWatcher882: I just witnessed the battle. Who proclaimed Alice to be pure and benevolent? She spoke quite harshly to Averon. Her words carry a sharp edge, akin to a blade. I suspect she is, in reality, a terrible person, and her acts of healing the less fortunate are merely for public acclaim.

NormalGuy114: That perspective is utterly nonsensical. She possesses a difficult personality due to her candor? I suspect you frequent establishments like hostess clubs, where women cater to men's desires, and therefore, you are unfamiliar with the concept of women expressing their opinions honestly.

SaintessDevotee53423: Precisely! Goddess Alice uttered nothing inappropriate. So what if her words are sharp? Her heart remains tender! That's the allure of 'gap moe,' you fool! It only enhances her appeal!

SaintessDevotee142: Goddess Alice embodies kindness. I will not tolerate any disparagement directed towards her. My sister was diagnosed with Chiara Disease. Despite seeking aid from numerous awakened individuals, none offered assistance. Medical facilities refused treatment for my sister due to our lack of financial resources. My sister's survival is solely attributed to Goddess Alice's healing interventions. I personally observed her providing succor to hundreds, foregoing meals and sleep. These online detractors, who lack any genuine knowledge of her, presume to label her as unpleasant. You are the truly unpleasant individual here, diminishing the endeavors of others.

SaintessDevotee2312: Brother, do not allow yourself to become agitated. These provocateurs seek attention through their absurd commentary. None present can dispute that Goddess Alice possesses a compassionate spirit. She has been instrumental in saving numerous lives.

SaintessDevotee88821: I recall seeing her tending to the needy in refugee camps as well.

NormalGuy004: People tend to forget that awakened individuals are still human. Alice is fully entitled to be direct in her communication. It's not as if she exhibits aggression; she is simply being truthful.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember622: Even as a supporter of Goddess Emily, I acknowledge Alice's benevolent nature.

GodessEmilyFanClubMember14121: Expel this traitor immediately!

Alice’s renown had experienced a dramatic surge.

Her radiant golden flames, her resolute movements, and her immense power had captivated the hearts of an innumerable multitude.

To those without awakenings, Alice was the embodiment of perfection: unstoppable, unyielding, and unwavering.

Even among the awakened, the sentiment remained the same.

Many saw Alice as the pinnacle of strength, a goal they aspired to reach. Faced with an enemy that should have been terrifying, she had charged forward fearlessly, obliterating it with sheer power.

…

Isaac POV

With a deep grunt, Isaac grabbed Celia and poured his essence into her mouth. Her cheeks swelled as she took it all, gagging slightly before pulling away. A bit of his release lingered at the corner of her lips. She effortlessly scooped it up with a finger and licked it clean. Then, she leaned in again, taking his shaft and slowly teasing it with her tongue, ensuring not a trace remained.

“I’ve been thinking, why is this tasty?” she asked, still regaining her breath.

“...?” Isaac regarded her with a bewildered expression.

“I read online that it’s supposed to taste unpleasant, and Alice mentioned the same. But yours is genuinely sweet,” she explained.

“It’s probably because of your Physique, or Sis’s,” he replied, slumping back onto the bed.

Celia nodded and retreated to the bathroom to rinse her mouth. Isaac remained still, his gaze drawn to the large screen on the wall displaying the livestream. It showed Celia and himself inside a room within the Mirror Dimension’s structure.

After his release and witnessing the live broadcast, guilt washed over him.

‘Alice and Emily are out there risking their lives, and I’m in here doing this,’ he thought.

When Celia returned, his mood shifted. He flicked his finger, levitating her with telekinesis and drawing her between his legs, her back pressing against his chest.

“Isaac— Kyaaa!”

A scream escaped her as he began to knead the sides of her head with his knuckles.

“Why are you doing this? Didn’t you enjoy it too?” she questioned, tears welling in her eyes from the sudden pressure and surprise.

“Do you think Heaven-Reversal Moon elixirs just grow on trees? You consumed one earlier. Why did you take another just now?” he demanded.

Celia’s Celestial Kitsune Physique was already capable of reversing such effects, making the elixir unnecessary. Yet, she had taken it, which drastically amplified her lust, leading directly to their current situation.

“We have more than enough!” she exclaimed, attempting to squirm free. When that failed, she twisted around, shoving against him. They tussled on the bed for several minutes, rolling and grappling until both were utterly spent.

Now, Isaac lay flat on his back, his chest heaving. Celia rested in his arms, her breathing as ragged as his.

“You bully. This is domestic violence. I’m telling Alice,” she murmured against his chest.

Isaac snorted and turned towards her. One arm slipped beneath her shoulder, while the other wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. A long, heavy sigh escaped him.

“What happened?” Celia asked, her tone devoid of its earlier playfulness or mock anger.

“Did your Physique rank up?” he inquired instead.

“Let me check.” She opened her status screen, her eyes widening. “Huh? We only engaged for a short while, but both my Physiques are already at 100% completion? How—”

She looked up at him.

“It’s your God Domain’s skill, isn’t it? Master of Dual Cultivation?” she deduced.

“Yes. The skill amplifies all dual cultivation—sex-related skills—effects by 500%. Since you can refine your Physique during this process, it accelerates your progress significantly,” Isaac explained.

Celia chuckled softly, understanding his earlier despondency. He had never desired a Lust God Domain, yet the skill’s utility was undeniable, leaving him in a peculiar predicament.

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

Still unclothed, she sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing on her breakthrough. Isaac observed her for a few moments, admiring her beauty. Celia possessed a perfect blend of charm and seduction. Her voluptuous breasts, long legs, and toned waist were intoxicatingly alluring, complemented by an innocent face and a pure, radiant smile. Any man would lose control if such a beauty approached them. It was understandable that she had a massive fanbase. If only she weren't such a delightful chaos agent, it would have been perfect. But then again, that was precisely what made her so endearing and lovable. Shaking his head at his conflicting thoughts, he accessed his own system. A smile touched his lips as he commanded,

‘System, share Celia’s Physique progress!’

Notifications began to appear.

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's breakthrough commenced immediately. Mana surged through his body, enhancing his physical form with every passing moment. A burning sensation, not of pain but of tempering, coursed through him, refining his muscles and bones.

Upon completion, he opened his eyes, inspecting the fresh wave of system notifications.

Infernal Brand (SSS rank) acquired. Demon King Vessel (SSS+ rank) acquired. Burning Soul Armor (SSS+ rank) acquired. Hellfire Wave (SS rank → SSS rank). Infernal Sovereign Transformation (SSS+ rank) acquired. Sweet Madness (SSS rank) acquired. Heartfire Lash (SSS rank) acquired. King of Desire Transformation (SSS+ rank) acquired. Charm (SSS rank → SSS+ rank).

Isaac stared intently at the screen, utterly astonished. He had obtained seven brand-new skills, all ranked SSS or SSS+, while two existing ones had been elevated in rank.

'Isn't this... a bit excessive?' he mused internally.

However, the reasoning quickly became clear. Celia possessed two Physiques, thus the rewards had been effectively doubled.

Furthermore, her consumption of the fruit from the Tree of Abyss had purified her bloodline and amplified her overall power. This extraordinary treasure served as the explanation for the sudden influx of potent skills.

The previous Physique upgrade for Catherine had yielded new abilities, but no entirely new skills, as she hadn't ingested any significant items.

By contrast, Alice's Crimson Wyrm heart had indeed bestowed powerful skills upon her.

Yet, Celia's ingestion of the Abyss fruit, a rarity found only in the gardens of Demon Kings, meant the benefits derived from such a treasure were on an entirely different magnitude.

'It appears that consuming potent resources significantly enhances breakthroughs. If that's the case, I must find something exceptional for Emily before she undergoes her own advancement,' he contemplated.

His thoughts concluded, he turned his gaze toward Celia.

He froze, captivated by her altered appearance.

"How do I look?" she inquired, a playful grin gracing her lips.
