Seeing Seitenshi's face full of hatred mixed with sadness, El spoke, his voice soft yet filled with firmness. "Listen," he said in a firm but non-threatening tone.
"Even if I told you that I was innocent, and you were still... a virgin, you wouldn't believe me, would you?" For a moment, the words hung in the air.
Seitenshi looked at El with a complicated expression. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger, sadness, and confusion. She tried to understand the meaning behind El's words, but her emotions got in the way of logic.
El decided to continue, this time with a sentence that pierced through the doubt. He looked into Seitenshi's eyes, his active Rinnegan emitting a calm yet unwavering aura.
"I will take responsibility," El said finally, his voice so steady, it seemed to carry a promise that could not be broken.
El, despite saying words full of promise, Seitenshi still felt the fire of anger within him still burning.
Seitenshi, with eyes full of hatred and sadness, demanded proof of El's words. "You want to take responsibility? Prove to me that you're not just talking nonsense and don't-" she said, but his words were cut short.
Before Seitenshi could continue, El had already raised his left hand quickly, right in front of them. El's hand was open, palm facing Seitenshi and herself, leaving the girl confused, not understanding El's intentions.
However, El did not answer with words. He concentrated his mind, activating the Rinnegan Technique, now amplified by the Demon Slayer Mark.
Within his palm, there suddenly appeared six points of light that rotated slowly, as if creating a pattern full of mystery and beauty.
The lights looked like streams of water, moving swiftly, merging into each other to form a mesmerizing ring.
The ring glowed with a shimmering purple aura, like an aurora in a dark night sky. However, on closer inspection, the ring also glowed with a soft silver color.
In the center of the ring was a small red gem that glowed beautifully, so perfect and perfectly placed, it was as if it had been created by the hand of a god it self.
Seitenshi was silent, her eyes focused on the ring created in El's hand. She had never seen such a beautiful and mesmerizing ring before.
Not only did the ring seem to sparkle with incredible light, but it also gave the impression that it was a creation from a higher world, something that ordinary humans could not understand.
However, although the ring looked like a divine creation, it was actually made of materials from the human world, which most people would find impossible to combine.
The six materials used in the creation of this ring are: Gold, Silver, Titanium, Transmitter Iron, Scarlet Ore, and Varaniun, coupled with a Magnetized Metal that emits electrical energy, yet is safe for the human body.
The combination of these materials would not normally produce such an amazing shape.
However, thanks to the power of the Outer Path: Creation of All Things, El was able to unite the six materials without being hindered by the usual laws of cause and effect.
Ding!
[The Beyonder with serial number 120,000 has created a black level accessory. Please provide the name of the accessory]
El stared calmly at the system notification that appeared before him, carefully reading the information about the black-level accessory he had just created.
A faint smile appeared on her face, although in her heart, the feeling of distress was still there.
After a moment of thought, El decided to give the ring a touching name. The name that came to mind was "Teara Ring". A name that means "Ring of Tears" a symbol of the passing of sorrow.
It would be a reminder of a past full of conflict and tears, as well as a hope that no matter what happens, there is a way to peace.
Ding!

The ring shimmered, suspended in the air, as if to suggest that El truly had the ability to create something beyond the limitations of this world.
And to Seitenshi, this was a tangible proof, more than just words. 'Who is this man really? Is it a mechanical human? Like Satomi Rentaro? No, men are more special than him...' Seitenshi thought deeply.
El slowly raised his right hand, and with a gentle, confident gesture, he placed the newly created ring on Seitenshi's right ring finger.
As the ring was placed, El looked deeply into Seitenshi's eyes, his pair of Rinnegan emitting a light that not only implied immense power, but also deep tragedy.
"I promise to marry you and make your life happy, rather than drowning in misery and frustration," El said in a firm yet empathetic voice.
The look in his Rinnegan eyes added to the intensity of those words, and Seitenshi felt an overwhelming pressure, as if the entire world was focused on that gaze.
Heart pounding, Seitenshi's heart felt fear, yet there was a sense of comfort that emerged, a feeling he could not explain.
Although there was a deep fear of the power El was displaying, underneath it all was a growing sense of trust.
Seitenshi, who had been angry and upset, gradually began to soften his attitude. Her eyes that were originally full of anger began to relax, although there were still mixed feelings.
Suddenly, Seitenshi withdrew her hand a little roughly, lowered her head for a moment, before finally speaking again.
"When are you going to marry me?" asked Seitenshi, but then he paused for a moment, as if unsure of his own question.
Shaking her head lightly, Seitenshi continued, "You seem to have very great strength."
The firmness on Seitenshi's face returned, and looked at El with determined eyes, "Since you're going to be my husband, lend me- No, give me your power to help me in 5 days in the great war against Gastrea and save this city."
El smiled faintly, then the smile grew into a warm smile. There was a calmness in him that felt soothing, as if all his anger and confusion were extinguished by Seitenshi's words.
With a small chuckle, El replied in a voice full of gentleness and confidence. "Very well, my wife..." he said in a voice that was able to extinguish the fire within him, giving a deep sense of peace.
A moment of silence fell over the room after El spoke. Seitenshi, who felt a little awkward and confused by what had just happened, turned his face away quickly, bright red.
Seitenshi bowed his head deeper, trying to hide the embarrassment that came over him. "We're not officially married yet," Seitenshi murmured, his slow voice slightly shaky but audible. "Don't tease me, you're evil..."
El just sighed softly, understanding that even though they had been through a lot, this situation was indeed quite complicated.
El turned to Yuri, who was sitting casually, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips, as if enjoying the scene that had just unfolded. Her face wore an ambiguous expression, like an audience watching a suspenseful drama.
"Yuri," El called in a firm tone. "Quick, give me my clothes that you're hiding."
Yuri let out a long breath, then shook her head sullenly. "Tch, you guys are better off naked. Wouldn't that make things more... interesting?"
"Besides, this kind of thing is quite helpful in improving my cultivation," Yuri said in a joking tone, her eyes looking at El as if she was teasing.
El stared at him intently, barely a word coming out. "You..." his words trailed off, hanging in the air, out of words to respond to Yuri's absurd comment.
