Chapter 85

On Earth, just as the Goddess said, people have been seeing the Selection through the images projected in the sky. There have been many things such as death, rage, lust, showing them the true face of the Current Selection. And that face makes their skins crawl.

It is simply carnage, no doubt. People are dying left and right without any regard to age or gender or beliefs. The zombie monsters once have gotten a hold of a target will simply not let go. The flesh will be torn out from the skin, and the intestines will be taken out from the abdomen. Or some will have to suffer a fate worse than death: Humiliation. Females will be r**** publically, changing them into those monsters and granting them the ability to use simple magic.

Everywhere on the ground is just blood and gore. Truly, the Selection is equal on all accounts. Be it a child, or an older person, their deaths will be broadcasted live for the audience of the world to see. What is worse about this is that the world chosen to do the Selection is very similar to Earth.

As if the Goddess is telling them that I can do this to you, I can kill all of you with just a quick plague.

And it is by no means incorrect.

Tomo, The Goddess of Curiosity, wants this. She wants to inflict fear and doubt so that it spreads faster, to the final corners of the Earth.

The Goddess of Love has to die. She is too much of an unstable force.

Tomo is so close to her goal now. Earth is the last planet for Love to exist.

Whenever someone looks up, they can see the one they want to see. They can even see those from other worlds and planets. The attendants have been all thrown into a world where magic was somehow banned by the Goddess.

But it is not that simple. This world is plagued by a mysterious disease. Furthermore, they were told by the mission objectives from the Goddess to freely spread chaos. Because of that, as long as it is within their power, they could do whatever they want with the citizens of this current world.

The two most-viewed of Earth's attendants would be the Hero and Sam.

Until this point in time, Hero has not disappointed anyone, especially in Nohin. He is like a warlord, destroying and blasting anything in his paths away without a care. In addition, by observing what Hero has been doing, people can see him saving many female candidates.

Especially those with good looks.

At first, everyone was wondering why, some even thought he was gathering them so that he could force himself on them for sexual relief. After all, which kind of man can just stand and look at beautiful women without doing anything about it. The discussion has been growing more and more on the internet with no intention of stopping.

Sam's place is probably one of the few places where viewers can see some normalcy in this wretched world. At least, the people of the Earth can see him being all lovey-dovey with his girls. Many lonely guys and gals are very uncomfortable looking at them, yet they keep on watching Sam because they want to know what happens next. His decisions have been questionable to many. People attacked him, saying that he should have helped others rather than just running after his girls. On the other hand, others also defended Sam. Their logic is why would he sacrifice his girls to save those completely unrelated. In a world where it is so devastated by the strange disease, it is better to care for yourself than others.

Twotter, FaceNote, as well as a lot of social media pages are exploding because of him.

[The virtue of Love shines the best here. He clearly shows compassion, yet selfishness at the same time, and that is probably what the Goddess would want. That is why she created this Selection.]

[What do you know about Love? He should be saving people! Look at the Hero! The Goddess's plan must be to find a savior for this world. Hence, he must be someone with a heart that can love everyone!]

[Bullshit! There is no one that can save the entire world. He is not a saint! By saving only those he cares for, he is already showing the virtue of the Goddess!]

[The virtue of the Goddess is Love, so if he would like to become an Apostle like the Hero, he should be doing at least what the Hero is doing. Hero is saving any girl he can find without asking anything back! That is how an apostle should be. Not this selfish crap. He threw another participant away, for the Goddess's sake! I will never accept such an Apostle.]

[Ridiculous! You obviously have never been in love before. Why don't you go out and sell all of your organs to help the poor with your kind of love? Love everyone, right? Then do it.]

[Fuck you!!! Now, this is a personal attack! I'm reporting your account!]

[Hah! At least I have been in a real relationship before, you virgin!]

Of course, Sam has no idea about any of this. If he did know, he would still not care.

Currently, many are watching the scene between him and Lily and debating fiercely online.

Back to the Selection where Sam and Lily just finished dismantling the two brothers.

In the end, the thought of being tortured is more terrifying than dying a quick death. Because of that, the two brothers give up. Even though the barriers they use are very good, even much better than the normal Manafused armor Sam wears, they all have a limit. The constant wearing down thanks to Sam's explosive fist and the concentrated attacks of Lily's Laser Beam is certainly the solution to their turtle shells.

Sadly, even till the demise of the two guys, the gang still could not use the barriers. It seems that to activate the protection, one would require some kind of recognition from the barrier like a DNA check.

"Tch!" Looking at the two newly made corpses, Lily clicks her tongue. "What a useless bunch! Hardly gave us anything good. Just when I thought Sam could get an upgrade."

"How are you, Lily?" He comes close to her. On his left is Nycta, clinging on closely and not letting go of his hand.

*Gyuuuuu*

The masked girl immediately jumps into his arms and hugs him tightly. She completely ignores Nycta. "I have missed you, Sammy!"

*Sniff sniff* *Rustle*

"Haaaaaa! Your scent! It's calming me down."

She buries her face deep into his embrace and inhales deeply, taking in all of his scents.

Sam is not surprised. Instead, he wraps his right arm around her back, pulling her closer.

"Me, too." He says. "I'm glad there is no harm done."

"I'm perfectly capable of handling things myself, though!" Lily's muffled voice can be heard coming out from his chest.

"I know that. But I can not help but worry about all of you girls." He tightens his embrace on Lily's back and Nycta's hand. "Seeing you being safe is the best thing right now."

"So how have you been, Sammy? You have not been doing anything lewd in the middle of a city, right?" She takes her head out and gleams at Nycta.

To which, the blind girl laughs. "Almost!"

"How can you be so shameless? Didn't you hear the Goddess would be broadcasting all of our actions to the world?" Lily's eyebrows go down.

Still laughing, Nycta replies. "Well, Sam managed to stop me in time. I thought about making a dark sphere for him to do me, though."

Lily covers her face with one hand. "At least do it at home or somewhere you are sure no one watches."

"I can't help my urges, you know. It feels reaaaaaally good if you are used to it." Nycta seems to be remembering something.

The masked girl sighs. "Ugh! Enough of your shenanigans. I want to hear his story, not your horny ass dreams."

"Well, can I tell you on the way? It has been a long story so I don't want to waste any time just to be idling. We still need to get to Yuno and Yui, after all. You two don't need to rest, right? I'm sorry for forcing this onto you two, but we need to group up as fast as possible."

Nycta presses her whole body onto his arm. "Wherever you go, I'll follow. A little bit of running is good for my glutes, too. And I know how much you love to touch them." She then takes the arm she is holding and places it behind her butt.

Lily stares at her rival's action in contempt. She swears in her heart once everything is done, she is going to do many more things so that Sam will choose her alone. "I'm fine, Sammy. Let's run and tell me how you have been doing."

"Yeah! Let's go!"

Time left: 62 hours.
