Chapter 109: Linsley Reveals His Secret To Evangeline
Evangeline looked at him, a mixture of gratitude and amazement in her eyes. "You did all this... for me?"
Linsley nodded, his tone steady but filled with affection. "You know I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. With these fragments, you'll be strong enough to face any threat, no matter what comes our way. I won't allow anything less."
She smiled softly, the weight of his words sinking in. "I don't know what to say... except thank you, Linsley. Truly."
Linsley gently kissed her forehead, his touch light but filled with warmth. "No need to thank me. You're not just the Goddess of Winter—you're the love of my life. I want you by my side for as long as possible, and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure of that."
Evangeline's eyes shimmered with both affection and resolve. "Then I'll absorb these fragments and regain my full strength. I won't let you down, Linsley."
Without hesitation, she sat down and began to absorb the avatar and celestial crystals one by one. As each crystal dissolved into her, a faint glow surrounded her body, and her aura intensified.
Linsley stood nearby, watching over her, his invisible force shielding the room from any disruptions and ensuring no divine energy leaked out into the world.
The process took time, as each fragment brought her closer to the peak of her power.
Hours passed, and with each crystal absorbed, Evangeline's aura grew sharper, colder, and more refined—an unmistakable sign that she was approaching the peak stage of the Median True God.
Linsley remained vigilant, making sure everything went smoothly.
His invisible force worked tirelessly, keeping the space sealed and ensuring no fluctuations in her growing divinity would draw unnecessary attention. Despite the immense power radiating from her, he kept the process contained.
By the time the last fragment was absorbed, the room was filled with a lingering cold mist—a side effect of Evangeline's wintry powers. She stood, her presence now overwhelmingly powerful, and turned toward Linsley, her eyes glowing with a new light.
"I've reached the Peak Stage of Median True God," she said, her voice calm but filled with strength. "I can feel it."
Linsley smiled, proud of her. "I knew you could do it."
Evangeline stepped toward him, the cold aura around her softened by the warmth of her gaze. "With this power, I can stand by your side and face whatever comes next."
Linsley pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "We'll face it together, like always. And now, there's nothing in this world that can stand against us."
Evangeline smiled, feeling the warmth of his embrace. "With the power I have now, maybe I should be the one protecting you," she teased.
Linsley chuckled, his voice lowering playfully. "Well, you could... but I think there's something else I'd rather have you do."
Evangeline raised an eyebrow, catching the glint of mischief in his eyes. "Oh? And what might that be?"
He leaned closer, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, "How about I take your first time again? Just like I did in the previous simulation."
Evangeline's eyes widened for a moment, and then she laughed softly, her cheeks flushing ever so slightly. "You know the timeline reset. I'm technically a virgin again... so I suppose we could relive that moment."
Linsley grinned, lifting her effortlessly into his arms. "Well then, let's make it count."
Without hesitation, he carried her over to the bed, his lips already finding hers in a deep kiss. They tumbled onto the bed together, their bodies pressed close as the passion between them reignited, just as intense as the first time.
They continued like that for a while, the room filled with the sound of soft laughter and whispered words of affection, their connection deeper than before.
Soon, the heat of the moment overtook them, and Linsley's hands explored her with a familiar tenderness.
…
The soft light of dawn peeked through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room.
Linsley stirred awake, his arm draped over Evangeline's waist. Beside him, she lay peacefully, her long icy blue hair spread across the pillow, a serene smile on her lips.
Linsley couldn't help but grin as he looked at her. "Well... that was even better than last time," he whispered, his voice low.
Evangeline's eyes fluttered open, a knowing smile curving her lips as she turned to him. "I'd say you've improved," she teased, her tone soft but playful.
Linsley chuckled, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "Always aiming to please."
As they lay together in the soft morning light, Linsley's thoughts grew more serious.
For a long time, he had allowed Evangeline to believe that his powers came solely from regression, but there was another truth he hadn't yet shared.
Now that they were together in the real world, beyond the simulations, it was time to tell her everything.
"Evangeline," he began softly, his tone more serious.
She looked up at him, sensing the shift. "What is it?"
"There's something I need to tell you," Linsley said, his gaze steady. "I'm not just a regressor. I came from another world—Terra."
Evangeline furrowed her brow, clearly intrigued. "Another world?"
Linsley nodded. "Yes, I transmigrated here from Terra. I wasn't born in this world, and I've lived through many trials there before arriving here."
Evangeline blinked, taking in his words. "So you didn't just relive your life here... You've experienced another world entirely?"
"Yes," Linsley confirmed. "But I wanted you to know the truth now that we're in the real world together."
Evangeline's gaze softened as she processed his words. "You've been through more than I knew," she whispered. "But it doesn't change how I feel about you."
Linsley smiled, feeling the weight of his secret lift. "Now that you know, I can share my next plan. I want to establish the Avatar World's version of the Avatar Syndicate, just like what I built in Terra."
"I'll train Tenzin and Kyle again, help them reach their full potential as Celestial Avatar Masters, and eventually Ascendence Avatar Masters. My goal is to build a pantheon of gods—with me as the God King."
