The Cepheus Guardian had initially intended to intimidate Alice with his identity as a Creator Deity-level powerhouse.
When he made his offer, he had already envisioned Alice kneeling down in excitement, begging to be acknowledged by him.
Even if she already had a master, she would at least treat him with respect and then politely decline...
Who could have anticipated Alice being so defiant?
Especially that disdainful laugh, it completely caught the Cepheus Guardian off guard.
A Creator Deity in the Divine Realm is definitely considered a top-tier being, with countless people pleading to become his disciple, and he hadn't agreed to any of them.
Now, to be publicly rejected by a mere Mortal Deity!
And in front of so many people, no less!
