Leon demonstrated his resolve to get stronger the instant he was in the sky above Inexpensiveco.
"CAAAAAW—"
CRAAAACK!
Woooooooosh!
"KYAAAAAA—"
BOOOM!
"Does that hurt!? It doesn't hurt nearly as much as experiencing true loss!" Leon roared at the top of his lungs.
Woooooooosh!
"KEEEEYAA—KAUK!"
An overpowered albatross of annihilation flew at the Leon and the gals with vicious enthusiasm mere moments before it was cock clubbed to death.
Then an armored wyvern took a wrathful wang to the side of its head before a torture hawk took a schlong swing to the neck and spiraled to the earth.
Leon was increasing and decreasing the length of his god-killing club to play a baseball game. He was taking out his pain on every flying monster in the area.
As for Caitlyn—
Whooooooosh!
—she listened to the morbid cacophony with a beaming smile.
Caitlyn took great pleasure in being useful to Leon. However, she loved when she could let him shine. His spellbinding strength was what made her fall in love with him.
Now he had limited emotions that made her feel fuzzy inside.
[Sarah] was trying her best to move. She was on shaky ground with Leon, and Caitlyn, who now held her wrist.
Leon swung his dildo of justice using nothing but his thigh strength to hold onto her sides. It was an impressive feat but a scary reality for her.
While he was a sociopath, at least he saw rational value in her life. Caitlyn, on the other hand, saw her as a pest. Their relationship only got worse after Leon called her out.
So she was preparing to jump onto Leon if things turned south.
"JOIN MY PUDDING IN HELL, BITCH!"
BOOOOOOM!
"KIIIIYYAAAaaaaaaa boom!"
Yet another beast fell victim to Leon's rage and Caitlyn—
—
Ding! [Event: Beast Overlock Entertainment Value increased by (50) points! 1350/100
Note: When 3/4 of a party can't use magic during a life-or-death fight, they're not supposed to fly [toward] the overpowered creatures trying to kill them!]
-
Ding! [God's Announcement! God Candidate Leon Traxler has released a new video: Tasty Revenge, A Sociopath's Guide to Cuisine.
Note: Pudding is officially the new lobster. The gods are going crazy about it!] (1)
-
Ding! [God's Announcement! A 3/4 majority vote has altered the God Trial's rules. God Hermes has been given an exception to scour the earth for pudding!]
—
"HEAR ME, GODS! IF YOU STEAL ALL THE PUDDING, I WILL RIDE ARES'S CHARIOT TO THE HEAVENS, TURN INTO SHIVA, LIFT THIS GOD-GIFTED DILDO, AND SKULL FUCK ALL OF YOU!" Leon declared with his hands to the sky. (2)
He didn't have a shirt on. Leon had left it in the break room before the possum rudely interrupted Caitlyn and Lindy's [bonding time].
So his artistically chiseled muscles, glimmering from sweat in the summer heat, made him look like a real war god. Or at least he would if his godly-looking club didn't have a head.
—
Ding! [Notification Restrictions are temporarily released for the public event: Beast Overclock due to a major event!
God Cernunnos has ordered beasts in the event area to cease attacking. The timer has been stopped. [15:59]
The clock will resume after the response of the gods.]
—
Every beast in the area stopped moving, and Leon ordered Lindy to stand down.
Time slowed as Leon awaited potential death or punishment. He determined that he would accept his fate with a legendarily murderous smile on his face.
—
Ding! [God Shiva is pleased by your acceptance of her power. You have developed a relationship with him!]
Ding! [God Ares is moved by your willingness to wage war against the gods. You have developed a relationship with him!]
Ding! [God…]
-
Ding! [God Ares has heard your passion! He has offered you a [Reward~] contract to complete your objective! He will loan you his chariot in exchange for an enjoyable show!]
Ding! [God Aphrodite has updated your relationship status…]
Ding! [God Shiva…]
—
"Hah. At least I know that I have a dozen gods willing to support my righteous crusade." Leon laughed.
Caitlyn announced they were checking her interface. In a breathtaking showcase of Lindy's lack of situational awareness, she checked her interface while Caitlyn held her at a death height and was distracted. Sarah wouldn't check her interface at any cost. At least she was smart.
—
Ding! [God's Announcement! God Candidate Leon Traxler has released a new video: God Candidate Threatens War with Gods Over Earthian Snack Food!
Note: Calm down, kid. Do you think gods will stand for Lemond Brother's Pudding Snacks? Hah! We're just getting the recipe so we can secretly sell it to God Shulgin.] (4)
-
Ding! [God Shulgin just rewarded God Candidate Leon Traxler a contract for their video: God Candidate Threatens War with Gods Over Earthian Snack Food!
Rewarded: First Batch of Human-Nip Pudding
Note: Thanks for the multi-trillion gold ingot contract.]
-
Ding! [God's Announcement! Beast Overlock has ceased its Entertainment Value counting for the first time in the history of the God Trial!
God Candidate Leon Traxler has been recorded in the annals of history. He will receive a special reward if you survive the public event!
Note: Quantifying the entertainment level of this event is impossible and would insult the participants. You won.]
-
Ding! [Notifications have been paused, and public event: Beast Overclock will now resume.]
—
"A reasonable notification from a god? I must be trippin." Leon chuckled with madness in his eyes.
"BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!"
Lindy's situational awareness kicked in instantaneously for the first time in history. The noise coming from behind her was horrifying.
The half-naked brunette lifted her right hand toward the sky and summoned a remarkably wasteful amount of energy into her palm.
"Hard. Fucking. No! Die!" Lindy screamed with her eyes shut, "Minor Hurricane!"
"KeEeEeEeEeEeEeEe!"
A wall of flying oversized murder mosquitoes got swept away in a cyclone, and high winds lifted Caitlyn's skirt.
Lindy was not about to let a swarm of flying insects fly into her body.
That was the image she conjured in her mind, considering she wasn't wearing pants or panties. She dropped the former on the floor during the mecha-bear fight, and the latter was still MIA.
"Alright, back to work!" Leon announced while scanning the area with a murderous glint in his eye.
Whooooooooosh!
"Hey, beetle douche! Watch out!" Lindy screamed.
A large flying insect turned around just in time to watch a water ball crash into its eyes.
"KEEEEEEEE!"
BOOOOM!
Another insect fell toward the earth when its shell exploded, and purple liquid oozed out.
Lindy got its attention to blind it while Leon passed by. That way, he'd prioritize it.
It worked, and the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction was magnified by 50%. It felt amazing and gave Lindy a new desire to unleash hell.
"Nice assist, Lindy!" Leon called out.
Lindy blushed furiously. A simple compliment abruptly switched her emotions toward elation.
It wasn't that Leon's power made her obsessively in love with him. Harem Leveler only made his less attractive elements seem irrelevant and made her more comfortable with him.
It also magnified her emotions equally, so people couldn't claim the magnification changed her feelings toward him. If it didn't, she wouldn't have experienced horrifyingly painful sex withdrawals and [unworldly sexual pleasure].
Lindy was already attracted to Leon, and now the power magnified her natural emotions.
Her sudden disregard of his negative aspects was healthy as she became more accepting of an imperfect human being. It couldn't abruptly change her opinion toward him, even if she obsessed over two minor qualities in a sea of toxic ones.
The magnification was also a constant. A 50% increase was the new base standard, so as Lindy's attraction grew, her base emotions would increase at a constant rate.
Therefore, the 50% increase couldn't become horrifyingly unnatural over time.
Of course, this constant also applied to new emotions that became overpowered instantly. They were just more enthusiastic expressions of natural desires.
Nope. Leon's power didn't make her feel more attracted to him. It only turned her minor interest in him into a horrifyingly unhealthy crush.
That's why she knew her increased attraction was genuine and not influenced by his power and was confident his power wasn't having a dramatic impact on her emotions.
"GOAAAAAAR—"
CRAAAAAACK
"—GAAHaaaaaaar boom."
"That attack was masterful, Leon!" Lindy screamed in excitement, "I love you!"
Ding!

[A/N: Missing chapter 3. Well, there's the equivalent of seven chapters today. XD
Did anyone think I was writing a real examination of her powers and abruptly think I lost my mind? Well, the last line summarizes the entire section if you skipped it.
Too many references for the author's thought, so here they are.
(1) Prisoners in Alcatraz at lobster because it was considered disgusting… lol.
(2) Shiva is the Hindu god of destruction, titled the [Destroyer of Worlds]. He destroys the *universe* to wipe the slate clean and allow for new creation.
(3) Sarah won't jump to Caitlyn's leg because the woman might kick her off. If she climbed onto Leon, there was a chance she'd get his attention and force Caitlyn to save him.
(4) This reference does not have to do with the legendary chemist Alexander Shulgin, who created MDMA and dozens of other high-powered hallucinogens. The likeness is only a coincidence, and I wouldn't defame him by writing his name as a god who makes pudding.
